7 Steps to Connect with Faery- Ravenhawks Magazine Magickal Products
7 Steps to Connect with Faery- Ravenhawks Magazine Magickal Products
Source: https://ravenhawks.net BY EMILY CARDING READ TIME: 5 MINSIn the Twenty-First Century, the Faery realm is as popular as ever; yet, in our culture of instant gratification and unmoderated media platforms, there are many false paths and illusory pitfalls to distract and misdirect us. How, then, can the true seeker of Faery be sure they are not following some metaphorical (or sometimes…

day 2: Royalty/Knight @mcyt-yuri-week
False, a knight famous for her ability to slay magical beings, was sent by her king to defeat the greatest threat of all - the fae. Here, she enters the faerie realm and is greeted by none other than the queen herself, waiting upon her forest throne.
Having grown up on tales of the fae and their evil trickery, False is surprised by how beautiful and kind the queen is, but isn’t going to let down her guard yet.
Queen Stress is rather impressed by this mortal who not only managed to find her way into the faerie realm, but is also brave (and foolish) enough to try and fight her! She has no intention of hurting False, and instead wants to teach her the mischievous ways of the fairies, get her to lighten up a bit and all that. And, well, if she tries to court the handsome knight along the way, who can blame her?

shadow milk is such an intriguing character to me because so many things he shows us are a facade. we see him constantly belittling other cookies, calling them "fools" and "silly", yet he himself can't seem to count to four. we see him act lighthearted and jokey, only for wrath to emanate from him as he blasphemes this world's version of gods (his whole deal with the witches is something i'd very much like to go into). we watch his performances and his own interpretation of why he was sealed away, only for the witches to go further unmentioned as the story focuses on the "fool king" (clearly bearing no resemblance to elder faerie cookie, what are you guys on about smh, it's just a sad coincidence). we don't know his true intentions- he seems to have a lot of fun tormenting pure vanilla and apparently wants his soul jam back, but has made no move to take it, instead repeatedly stating that he wants to introduce pv to the other fallen heroes once they're released. he seems on the surface like a being of chaos, but we find out how much of a perfectionist he is through the white lily/dark enchantress puppets. he twists the narrative in his favour so much that he fails to see how someone might deviate from the script, he has no qualms about turning cookies into mindless puppets or even killing them (rip elder faerie), and yet he treats the group like more of an amusement than a threat. he's smart but arrogant, able to pick apart minds while still not yet strong enough to take over pure vanilla's, and he's incredibly proficient at identifying someone's weaknesses. there's so much about him that we don't know yet, and i'm getting more tempted to make a full cohesive analysis on him by the minute

One of the fun worldbuilding things I’ve been doing is figuring out how the different species life cycles work.
Like, humans are humans
Seafolk(mostly) hatch from eggs directly into a sort of toddler/older toddler stage. They have full mobility and gross motor skills and quite a few fine motor skills. Most species begin language acquisition while still in the egg, which is why it’s so important that they are cared for and spoken too in that stage (see: why Joel is kind of concerned that his new wife is maybe a little bit either crazy or possessed by a cursed artifact because she spends so much time sneaking away to go talk to and cuddle a vaguely glowing orb)
From there they usually grow very rapidly, reaching physical maturity in about half the amount of time it takes a human (this timeline does not apply to demi(?)-gods, who might, for example, be the equivalent of a pre-teen for a few hundred years at a time, to use a totally random example that has no bearing on the actual story at all 😇)
A lot of seafolk species don’t stop growing either, even after they reach maturity, growing larger and larger as they age. At all stages most Seafolk tend to both be fully capable of independent function and survival, while preferring to remain within a community and work together.
Most of these also apply to the Swamp Inhabitants, other than like, the witches.
And some more reptilian hybrid species or mollusk hybrid species.

Elves I took some inspiration from deer and combined it with Tolkein. Elves have very long childhoods, but their children are rarely seen, since they are fairly secluded for the first 60-70 years or so. During this time they do not tend to be very active and are quiet and mostly cling to their parents. They have a safe space, usually their room or a specific place in the family home and they Do Not leave that space. They are incredibly reliant on their parents during this time. Finding an unattended elvish child is a sign that something is Deeply Wrong. (Don’t think about smol bb Scott finding refuge in snowbanks nothing to see here :) )
After this stage they hit the development approximating puberty for humans (and it does have some of the same facets) and begin growing their antlers. Then they will begin to venture out of the home and into the greater world. This is also when ideally they begin socializing and engaging in the cooperative play and work. They tend to be very high energy and are usually raised extremely communally at this point, basically corralled together and passed from adult to adult in supervision shifts. It’s a stage that is entirely about building bonds with their peers and the adults around them. (Unless of course they never actually had a true safe space during their early development and so were never psychologically prepared for this stage and don’t deal with it by isolating :) )
That stage passes relatively quickly, lasting only 20 years or so and ending usually between the 90-100 year mark at which point their antlers mature beyond prongs and they are considered adults. (But like, baby adults. College kids. You don’t rate adulty-adult until you’re at least 150, which is usually also the age where courtships begin happening.)

since I'm posting about devastating mother-child relationships tonight, the idea of Rosemary coming back as a ghost in twp has been floating around my head for a while now. very specifically a scene where Kit finally meets his mom & everything alright right up until Rosemary realises he's a shadowhunter.
like Kit (who's good at reading people) seeing the exact moment she knows. she cannot hide it because the shadowhunters getting Kit was her greatest fear even as she died. That was her greatest nightmare when she held his little body, a future where he was scarred and lived a life of war. that the future she feared so much was one of the best things that ever happened to him goes against everything she knows & believes.
they're finally together for the first time in their lives and there's still an impassable divide between them. the idea Kit was given the opportunity to not be a shadowhunter & choose to ask Jem to train him anyway would be so incomprehensible to Rosemary. the idea that not being a shadowhunter is actually distressing to Kit & if given the chance to change that he wouldn't. like even if she eventually came around, imagine knowing you are all your mother's fears come to life (and you cannot regret it). that even against the odds of death something separates the two of you.

The Bard's Songs
Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
Tumblr media
More than twenty years ago (well fuck me) I made a mixtape for our d&d campaign. That was when people used to burn audio CDs, and this was mixtape #39 (out of 271). I think I was playing an elf bard at the time.
I'm posting it here for posterity, for nostalgia, and as a snapshot of vanilla d&d lore/mood, as I experienced it back in the day. If it seems frightfully basic and predictable, well it was. Pretty much everything in that list is from Britain or Ireland or somehow evoking them. But hey, I ain't from there. It was exotic for me!
So it's vanilla and predictable, my little escapism soundtrack. And you know what else it is? A damn good compilation if I say so myself. "Fisherman's Blues" is one of best albums of all time, Loreena McKennitt is a genius, the Chieftains are giants, Pavlov's Dog are one of the few dad rock bands whose hits didn't age terribly, and hey, because I just listened to the whole thing again, when Enya stops singing "May it be" and the track continues with the Shire and the Fellowship leitmotifs, I am FULLY crying again, just bawling over here.
So here's to 2024, and the next 20 years of roleplaying, or as long as we got. Happy new year, everyone. Squeeze every drop out of life, and may your aim be true. The bard's songs will remain.
Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain
In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men and elves Come close your eyes You can see them too

Was rereading the world bible for one reason or another and came across this in Mithrun’s section. I was totally mistaken in thinking the pixies were an enslaved race of demihumans! They’re actually homunculi, which explains Mithrun having a “default” look for his;
Tumblr media
(^daydream hour 5. From left to right and top to bottom; Mithrun, Pattadol, hooded canary always seen next to the vice-captain, vice-captain Flamela, elven queen, and the three familiar mages Flamela yells at)
I think this is a really exciting find because I’ve had this image here, from chapter 8, saved for quite a while;
Tumblr media
It would seem the monsters shown here are; a ghoul, a spirit, a sting ray (??), winged big cat, minotaur possibly with a demon’s face, and a more aggressive looking pixie! Right now I assume the homunculus pixies used by the elves are based on the anatomy of these monster-pixies. And I really hope to see Ryoko Kui talk abt these monsters in the new world bible!
I think it’d be a really fun way to use the seelie and unseelie groupings. I’d love to see if the monster-pixies are truly insectoid monsters that just have forms similar to humans (like the dryads) or if they’re actually demihumans with a language or some kind of society (like the mammalian mermaids) or even culture!!
