volcano spirit

Usually when I worldbuild religions, I don't get into whether these are true in universe. That's not the point for me and actually. I really like having multiple religions running around in a story, none of which are confirmed to be true or false. It just feels more human and rich and realistic that way for me. This story is an exception. It's meant to read like folklore, and very few of the characters are human. It takes place in a world populated by supernatural figures, ranging from mighty natural forces, to the ancester spirits of frogs. There is never any doubt that such creatures are real, powerful, and all around. And this lends weight to the main character's decision at the beginning of the novel to steal food dedicated to the mighty volcano spirit when she is alone and starving.

Volcano Spirits

In many mythologies, volcano spirits are intriguing characters who represent the powerful and sometimes scary nature of volcanoes. People often portray these spirits as strong gods or supernatural beings who control the erupting volcanoes that cause life and death. In some cultures, volcano spirits are both feared and honored. People believe that they control not only the eruptions, but also the wealth of the land around them. These two things are like lava flows: they can destroy events and leave behind rich, fertile land. In this way, these spirits represent how life and death, creation and destruction, happen in cycles. They represent the complicated ways that nature works.

People in Hawaii believe that Pele is one of the most famous fire gods. Pele is the goddess of volcanoes, lightning, fire, and wind. She is known for being fierce and stormy. Her rage or desires often manifest as volcanic eruptions that alter the scenery of the Hawaiian Islands. Pele's stories show how important it is to treat nature with care and what terrible things can happen if you anger the spirits. Her appearance makes me think of how fragile the balance is between people and nature. In Japanese folklore, people sometimes perceive volcano spirits as gods who provide protection. For instance, the goddess of life and rebirth, Konohanasakuya-hime, is associated with Mount Fuji. Her connection to the mountains demonstrates how much people in her culture value natural beauty and change. In contrast to Pele's fiery personality, Konohanasakuya-hime represents the gentle and caring sides of nature. She reminds people of how volcanoes are calm and life-giving. People from all over the world perform ceremonies and leave gifts to appease the spirits of volcanoes. This shows that people want to live in peace with these powerful forces. People believe that respecting these spirits is important for keeping undesirable things from happening and making sure beneficial things happen. Offerings such as food, flowers, or other gifts can demonstrate respect and request protection from potential explosions.

Mount Merapi, in Indonesia, is home to spirits that are very important to the people who live there. People in Java often hold ceremonies to respect these spirits because they want to lower the risks of living near an active volcano. These traditions underscore the intimate connection between communities and their natural environment, emphasizing the importance of peaceful and respectful coexistence. Across many societies, volcano spirits represent nature's amazing power. They are symbols of how the earth's energy can change quickly and dramatically, showing both its beauty and its power to destroy. By giving volcanoes human forms, these spirits help cultures show their love and respect for nature and recognize its impact on the human experience. People use these stories and myths to understand and deal with the strong forces that shape their environments.

Korra: I haven't seen Asami for 3 years.... Kyoshi: You haven't seen your girlfriend for 3 years???? Korra: W-we aren't dating.... I dunno if she likes me. Kyoshi: Oh been there. Girl, she built a statue of you, take the plunge. Kyoshi: But, spirits, 3 years? I barely lasted 6 months. I would've died. Korra: Really? Kyoshi: Oh yeah, but Rangi would've ripped my soul out of the next Avatar and plunged it back into my body if that happened tho.

Mount Horu shenanigans (Commission)

My BF commissioned me to replicate something that happened during a randomizer playthrough of Ori and the blind forest with his friend. The room they were in requires the ability Bash for you to clear it in the expected (and easy) way. However, this wasn't the case... and had to clear the room without that ability. It made no sense to them, hence the text. Big thanks to him for trusting me with this as backgrounds are still tough for me, but I was up to the challenge. This made for excellent practice.

BLACK BOOTS CRUNCH INCINERATED BONE. The warehouse floor is littered with the shards of bleached marrow, and Albert stalks forward, minding the larger piles of dust and debris. Evidence of candle wax, some sand and seashells, and a carnelian stone scatter among the bone shards, and it is only when the tyrant steps back that he can see a rough outline of a skull. It smells of burnt flesh, singed hair, and decay, of the salt of the sea...

Scorch marks somehow darken the cement, leading to a curious object that seems to shine in the almost-lightless expanse. A cutlass, sticking into the flooring, is surrounded by a moving arc of flame, and then he finally notices that there is something up and moving. Uroboros shifts inside of him, slow, gathers into his palms beneath his gloves, and he shifts into a defensive stance.

Orange-gold eyes flicker to stare into the face of a skeleton. With embers blazing in the sockets - must be the being's eyes. The same flame seems to animate the creature, and Wesker tilts his head. Though his lenses reflect no emotion but the skellie's own appearance, there is a slight curiosity found in how he regards the other.

"Is that so? Hm. I thought you were a myth - then again, so did these pitiless fools."

He kicks at the dust and bone -

"Is it you who killed them, or did the ritual?" Logical to assume the impossible when no other facts remained.

So in the volcano spirit one, what makes this character a blasphemous little thief?

So I don't always write the end of a story first, but I frequently do. Or I write the beginning and then the ending and then I fill it in. And this takes place right at the end of the story, as part of the epilogue, but what makes Mika a blasphemous little thief happens right at the beginning, when Mika steals food from the shrine of the titular volcano spirit.

(Inspired by your recent post on Haineko and also that fic you wrote about Hinamori getting the hogyoku) I bet Matsumoto and Hinamori could get an epic combo move, I read somewhere that if you tried to get too close to a volcanic eruption you'd get encased in volcanic ash and die inside the solid shell it'd form. Which feels somewhat thematic for them based on vibes alone.

yeah YEAH!

Rangiku and Momo are two characters I would love to see hang out more. It's clear that they already have a good relationship prior to Aizen's defection--we see them conspiring to do something for Hitsugaya on his birthday in the fireworks flashback, and Rangiku is the one who brings Aizen's letter to Momo when she's in prison, even though it's technically evidence or something.

It's actually a little weird that we know absolutely nothing about Rangiku and Gin's relationship once they left the Rukon. I kinda get the feeling that Gin blew her off completely, but maybe there was a period where they had a relationship again. I get the definite sense that they are estranged at the time of the defection. My point in this is: did Rangiku have any sense that Aizen was not what he seemed to be? I feel like out of all the people in Soul Society, Rangiku is the one who might look at Aizen and, in particular, his relationship and actions toward Gin, and say, "wow, there is definitely something about this dude that does not add up." In other words, I also don't know if she had any sense of Momo being gaslit by Aizen while it was happening. That being said, I am at the age where, a couple of times now, a friend tells me they are getting a divorce and it feels like it's coming out of nowhere, but at the same time it doesn't. It's a really complicated feeling of "I should have seen this" but also not, because hiding the broken parts of a relationship are often part of what makes it so broken. All of this is to say that I think that Rangiku would have really been there for Momo in the aftermath, partly as an exercise in dealing with her own lingering Gin-feels, and I love they idea of them working some of this out through developing some sick moves.

I do not know a lot about volcanos, but I know that they exist in one of those batshit regimes of physics where temperatures are so high that you run into all kinds of nonlinear effects dealing with the compressibility of air and ionization effects. If you wander through the rabbit warren of volcano-related horrible-things-that-will-kill-you-but-have-really-cool-names, it's all stuff like "oh, this happens when pyroclastic debris hits running water and accelerates to insane speeds" or "if the eruption column can't entrain enough air, it will collapse and rains molten material down on everything"

In other words, I think Tobiume and Haineko are two great tastes that would go even better together. Rangiku could embed Haineko into one of Momo's lava jets and use it to make a controlled lahar to throw in people's face. Momo could create a pyroclastic surge with Haineko, and sandblast the landscape, gaining the sort of +2 spiritual damage you get from hitting things with a zanpakutou. The possibilities are endless. It's not even just a case of being able to do unique things, but just taking advantages of each other's strengths. Maybe it's easy for Momo to create magma, but hard to move it around, but Rangiku can do that easily. Releasing Haineko in an area where Tobiume is going off is going to add auto-fire damage, that's a freebie.

This would take so much practice and be so much fun and Hitsugaya would be in favor of it in theory, except that he's sitting in his office with an ice pack on his head, doing all of Rangiku's paperwork because he knows she's going to be "too tired" later. That is, until Momo comes running in with the latest research journal she got Lisa to import from the Living World for her, because it turns out that with a combination of hot gas, ash and ice particles you can make volcanic lightning.

Aurora's 4' 10" ass is not insecure about her height... but she will also give all of you giants shit about how tall you are, for her small size is superior, of course.

@cerulean-volcano: Karie would give a knock on the team door with Eva in his arms. He had heard about what had happened with Florence and wanted to check in on Audie and make sure that he was holding up alright

Audie would answer the door, inviting Karie inside the home. His body remained sore, and his right eye remained cloudy and blank. The Espeon sat down in the living room, tying his hair back in a ponytail and trying his best to appear at least a little positive looking for Eva, though it didn't last all that long.

"H-Hey..." Was all Audie could muster, giving Karie a small wave before lapsing back into silence.
