#IT IS that simple

[mexashepot]

Actually a 85 woman being kind to the terrorist who held her in captivity for 17 days (!!!) and that STILL holds her husband captive is something that makes complete sense survivability-wise.

She just does not want her husband to be tortured/murdered and so she does her best to try to save him

#spare me your propaganda and conspiracy for fuck's sake I have had ENOUGH in these 18 days #it is THAT simple

Hey, there's been something I've been meaning to ask for some time, what do you imagine Prythian's neighboring unnamed Continent to be like? how does it differ from Prythian and are the fae different over there? do they also have seasonal courts or do their kingdoms/nations run in a other way? since you headcanon that the Archeron sisters have fae heritage through their mother and maternal grandmother it gives me the feeling that they intermingle more with humans than the Prythian fae who seem more isolated.

Also: Happy holidays by the way!

Hi, happy holidays to you too!

I'm not sure I always imagine the Archeron's with faery heritage that direct- my overall headcanon is fae blood SOMEWHERE (see, Nesta's semi immunity to magic? or glamour? which the series never explains)...which I imagine has to be relatively common, actually. If we're willing to look at humans in the context of having been an enslaved people, some mixed genes feels unfortunately guaranteed.

As for Effloresce- where I am so, so excited for you guys to meet the Archeron's murderous tree lady faery queen grandmother, my god- I've cast a pretty wide net. Canon portrayal being Prythian (England/Scotland), Hybern (IRELAND, WHAT THE HELL), and then The Continent (Europe) makes sense in the slightest shred that like...she wanted to use a real map to base shapes on? Which I get? But the through line kind of sucks.

So. I make Prythian bigger- also a continent in it's own right. And I tend to make their magic wilder. Less settled. Less controllable. The land is choosing its rulers and stopping the turn of seasons, it IS faeryland.

And then there are other places like it in the wider world- enchanted forests. Magic lakes. Magic phenomena. But unlike Prythian, I like to think 'the continent' is a place where humans can live too. There's human places and faery places, but I think the bigger cities are mixed. There's mortal queens, but there's also faery council democracies. Kings, and princes, and all kinds of little city-states. The strict Court system (here is Winter, where All Winter Fae Live) is Prythian specific.

And a part of that diversity is just...five hundred years ago, in faery reckoning, the war changed everything. Five centuries is more than enough time for humans to multiply and adapt and thrive, but it is not that long for immortals. That's why the mix works- all the magic in the world is not quite the same as the bright, burning spark of a human life and their driving, incessant, curious will to survive.

It's a dangerous world.

But a bright and beautiful one too!

#s/jm voice: here is MY FAERY LAND WHERE EVERYONE IS WHITE #COUGH EXCEPT FOR 'THE BLACK LAND' (EGYPT) WHO WERE EVIL SLAVE HOLDERS #OH WAIT AND THE FILTHY EVIL IRISH #I'd get it if she wanted to work within european folklore #but like #then just stop there! #that's fine! #stop writing about slavery! #hey and maybe it's a bad call #to have All Your Characters be team 'former oppressors are inherently better'??? #do not get me started on the canon killing of ALL half/part fae children in prythian and how we're supposed to blame mortals for that #yall #the faeries did not want their freed slaves to have hypothetically powerful magic #IT IS that simple #effloresce meta

instead of “low pain tolerance” we should be saying “you experience a higher level of pain”

#post #it is that simple #or take it one step further and say let me treat the level of pain you are experiencing. no need for comparison #because how can you even hope to compare

Listen up if you are an authority figure it is your job, your responsibility to protect the people under your authority. All of them.

It is your responsibility to protect the infants and the elderly, it is your job and responsibility to protect the straight, the ace, the homosexual, the cis, the trans, and the confused.

It is your responsibility to protect the strong, the weak, the noble and the sly. It is your job to protect the teachers, the businessmen, the graffiti artists and the criminals. It is your responsibility to protect the neurotypical, the neurodivergent, the sane and the insane.

It is your job to protect the black, the white, the coloured, the brown, the tan, and the pale, every single race group under your authority is also under your protection.

It is your responsibility not to bring vengeance, or even a scoreboard but to bring justice.

It is your responsibility to lead, set an example, to serve and to protect, every single being under your authority.

Me explaining how I have a REALLY bad memory but I still "remember" most things: It's all about knowing where to put things so that Future Me will have The Thought at the right time and in the right place.

#tricks like i want to remember to pick up the ring again when i take it off to wash my hands #i have to place it so that idiot me who has forgotten she was wearing a ring notices it before leaving the bathroom #if i am prevented from staging things for idiot future me then i will forget the thing #it is that simple #i feel like i am always dressing a set for idiot future me #and idiot future me is five minutes from now #i developed this system when i watched momento at a formative age #this was not the intended lesson of that film #but if it works it works

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i used to be pretty intimidated by the idea of having to describe my art but. it isnt as hard as it sounds #i just treat it like im describing an image i dont have at the time really #plus ive been told that even a simple id is better than no id #lev.txt
