Camen is a winter island from Lex Play on YouTube! It's very nicely done and feels kind of gothic meets snow? Very pretty at night.

Stratham NH UFO SEEN After Karate Class

I remember the very distinctive backwards trapezoid wings. the front remembered me of a motorcycle helmet attached to an usually long neck in comparison with a human neck. It was winter with snow on the ground and it was nighttime. This was in Stratham NH.

in the Horrors bonanza year that has been 2024 nobody expected the oldest and dearest Horrors of all (covid horrors) to make a third act comeback

ok so apparently Unova is pretty chilly right now, and while I can’t help directly I thought I’d share some tips on combatting frostbite since I know a thing or two about it (crown tundra make some noise)

Probably the most important piece of advice is to not expose the frost bitten area to direct heat like a fire, and don’t rub the affected area either. While both of these reactions may be instinctual or seem like a good response, they can actually cause further damage.

Instead, the rewarming process should be gradual. You should immerse the frostbitten area in warm - not hot - water, or use a sponge to soak it. This process should last at least thirty minutes, or until the body part can be easily moved.

Do not start the rewarming process until you are away from the cold environment. Re-exposure to the elements after an attempted rewarming could cause permanent damage.

Stay safe, and I wish all Unovans the best of luck!

ooh an interesting discussion! lemme gather my thoughts.

i do happen to (sort of) have a fic about it, and my thinking is as follows:

IT’S A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

if we assume that jgy is alone... he has to obtain: food, a roof over his head, money, information (where is he, how long has passed since his death, the current political climate, is there some Event, ie. a blight of stray demonic cultivators, that would make it easy for him to accidentally captured), a believable backstory, and i guess a handful of people who wouldn’t immediately blab that oh yeah, the dude you’re describing right now stayed at my inn just yesterday and he left for uhhhh this direction i think! thanks for the money.

if he’s on his own, then his options are really, really limited. even if he wants to at least check if jl and lxc are alive and okay, he’d have to resort to eavesdropping at the inns at first, if not in general, as both are, to his knowledge, sect leaders and not food sellers you can find on every street. the business gets extra complicated if he wants to get revenge on nhs or find his mother’s remains, because this requires a spy net, and those don’t just materialize from thin air, he needs to pay those people or make them promises he can later fulfill. hell, even -- it’s different in cql (because lxc stays, which says something, but also jgy does end up hurting jl’s neck) than in the novel (where lxc is just ????, but jgy doesn’t hurt jl at all), but i feel that freshly resurrected jgy can’t really afford the confidence that either lxc or jl would accept him with open arms or even just help him. it’s the same as with qs -- technically... but what if..., and while i do believe he’d wish he could at least explain himself, say what he couldn’t say before he died... if he wants to live, he has to be very, very careful.

if someone’s helping him (say, lxc), things still are difficult because now we’re playing Connect The Dots. if the secluded lxc vanishes one day, and then jgy’s body magically vanishes from the guanyin temple... that’s a whole Case, for wgxn at least, most probably for more people.

in terms of revenge... i don’t see why he’d do it, tbh. it’s more dangerous than anything. in terms of finding meng shi’s body -- he’s sait it in the temple, iirc, that if it’s not there now, then they probably won’t ever find it again, and while he was still hoping to run away, it doesn’t magically become easier to find something nhs has chosen to destroy and hide (scatter around?). and jgy is determined and ambitious, but he also wants to live. i’m not quite sure if these two options are even possible.

as for his ambition and the fact he’d probably go crazy from boredom if all he had was a cottagecore fantasy: yeah, probably! but i don’t think he’s necessarily coming back to the jianghu. as in, like hell he is, everyone hates him there and i think he has enough of that knowledge. if he could settle down -- either in the country or dongying -- and organize help for people on a smaller scale, i think it would be something he’d happily settle for. but if we’re talking, idk, even something as small as secretly letting jl know he’s alive and helping him be a sect leader via letters... they’d still have to watch out, because letters can be intercepted and jl probably shouldn’t jump into continuing his uncle’s legacy too soon.

in conclusion: i think he would get something to eat first :(

It started snowing seven hours after Da-ge died. Huaisang still had the after taste of the salty tang of blood on his tongue from where he'd bitten the last well-wisher who'd tried to drag him inside when the first snowflakes fell on his lashes.

There's blood or flesh, or something under his nails, he can feel it gumming them up. He's the Sect Leader now, so they can't drag him around, unless he's a mad man but it's not like he's got a son for them to listen to instead.

Beside, they've been ruled by mad men for long enough, they should just leave him here, wait for him to die. It gets shorter every time.

The snow covers the spot where his brother died, the snow's not even red on top by the time Huaisang decides that he doesn't want to die enough to freeze and makes his way inside. Huaisang makes his way inside and decides he's going to find somebody to blame. He doesn't really care who it is, he just needs someone to ascribe fault to, him, Da-ge, their dad, the Wen, whoever. Anything so it's not an accident, because Huaisang thinks he'll be able to cope with any answer, just not that one.

It doesn't snow again for weeks, but the snow doesn't melt at all. Huaisang can't stare at the spot where his brother died, adn he can't stare at his brother's corpse or coffin because those need to be removed as quickly as possible lest the sabre spirits... well. It's the midst of winter, there are no birds around so Huaisang can't stare at them either.

He stares at the snow instead, at how it's covering the whole sorry mess up, smoothly painting over the blood and the horror in the same way his brother's sworn brothers smooth over the transition between a Sect leader to mad to do his work and a Sect Leader too... Well, Huaisang isn't going to deny that he's mad too.

He sits in the snow, ignores his friends, and questions if everything has always been this dead in winter.

i’m only like 2/3 of the way through the secret history so maybe this comes back again but like, what was up with the whole interlude of winter break and richard’s awful living situation and almost dying of hypothermia/pneumonia/a head wound?? like was it a way to demonstrate henry was back early from italy? idgi but what a harrowing experience to read either way lol

I love Nordsea, designed by @twinkleacnh! It’s wintery but in a cool “let’s sightsee” kind of way. I absolutely adored the indoor book store at the house and all the tall views!
