Sakura gets her first lesson in Genjutsu with Saeko. Based on the idea that humans have more than 5 basic senses (though there's no real science behind how many, with some saying 21, while others say up to 33).

Saeko is not actually a Hoshigaki- though they are very very distantly related. She is actually a Ningyo (mermaid) exiled from her coven, and living as a pariah, cursed to wander the earth, barred from the seas and rivers until she can get her pearl back.

As a mermaid-siren, she is intimately aware of the power of genjutsu (especially audial) and is a vicious teacher, forcing Sakura through rigorous training to teach her young charge how to understand and control her own senses/emotions before she attempts to do so on others.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone whose shown interest in this AU, you guys are giving me LIFE <3 <3. I'm so happy other people really feel that Sakura deserved a fighting chance. Together, we'll fix her!!!

oh man your comment about ot3 watching the olympics sent me down a crazy rabbit hole! at first i was like "wait, would jamie BE at the olympics?" then i checked and england isn't in the soccer standings. so i was like "maybe in an alternate universe jamie would have tipped the scales to england qualifying." then i googled THAT (why england didn't qualify, i mean)--turns out they would have to compete as the uk rather than england/wales/scotland/NI separately. which led me to another search about the history of uk conflict in olympic sports--

the only and I mean ONLY reason I already knew that was because I once wrote Roy having an olympic medal into one of my fanfics and the Brits were in my inbox immediately like "he would NOT say that" lmao

honestly i think Jamie in particular would definitely be bummed out that he doesn't get to go to the Olympics ever. he watched a documentary on the history of the Olympics once and then went down several of his own rabbit holes and it became his obsession for a while. also he knows he would look soooo sexy with an olympic medal around his neck :( what a shame

A magical city! A magical Olympic Games!

The sun sets on Paris 2024. What else has been lighting up the city's skyline over the past 17 days? The Olympic Flame. Where's it being taken to?

@mouseymagus Yeah that’s semi accurate but not exact.

Most children will be taught riding, textile production, food preparation, agricultural labor practices, and other basic foundational skills regardless of assigned gender. Exceptions are more based in the status of their respective clans (ruling clans outsource their agricultural labor, so textile production takes preeminence there).

This cultural group can be broadly be stated as egalitarian in its conceptualization of gender, with men and women having roughly equal power in society but different expectations. The starkest division of gendered labor is that married women control the ‘domestic’ sphere and (mostly young) men participate in warrior culture, while societal roles for others are either more flexible or entirely context dependent.

Basically a mother is in charge of the land and household and directing the use of its resources, young men (16-40ish) are primarily tasked with defending it and gaining resources, while all others (children regardless of gender, unmarried women, and older men) play supportive roles wherever needed. These supportive roles may be more strictly defined by gender in some contexts than others, the Hill Tribes are not a monolithic cultural group, but the above statement is broadly applicable to all. 

Warrior culture in the contemporary revolves primarily around cattle raiding and combat sports, with other applications being context dependent (some groups practice raiding trade routes, some northern groups in particular are in a defensive position against imperial Wardi territorial aggression along the seaway, and there are many conflicts and rivalries among clans and tribes for territory and resources). 

Unmarried women ARE commonly involved in herding, and as such may be situationally involved in livestock raids (usually as defenders). There don't tend to be any general prescriptions Against women participating in this aspect of warrior culture, but it is simply Expected of young men as their societal role and correct performance of masculinity, whereas for an unmarried (or especially married) woman to take active part in livestock raids is a curiosity.

Men and women are both strongly expected to marry and produce heirs. Unmarried adult women often occupy a unique cultural space, as they can perform more flexible roles (are neither expected to engage in combat like young men or to control the domestic sphere like married women). Spinsters (there's probably a culturally specific word for it but I haven't come up with it yet) as such occupy a gendered space that is considered somewhat nonbinary, not a man but not fully considered a woman in role either. In some contexts this is mildly shameful and a failure to perform expected roles, in others it's a more neutral concept, or positively acknowledged as a unique role within society.
