Another Halloween done, another farewell to my Mothman. Had so much more fun with it this year as I came to York for the Ghost Merchants' ghost hunt, didn't manage to find one but I did meet lots of lovely Mothman enthusiasts and had a super validating moment with two of the merchants. I would never normally have had the confidence to chat to them but they approached me a few times first to talk about my costume so eventually I asked their character names, and when I introduced myself one of them asked my pronouns - I've never been asked that by a new person before, normally I only tell my pronouns to friends with a whole "Well I prefer they/them but I'm fine with anything because I understand that since I present quite fem most people default to she/her" ramble so it was exciting to be able to just say "they/them" and even better that one of them responded "same!"

So I may have gone to York for Ghost Week and spent a LOT of time queueing outside York Ghost Merchants to add to my small but growing collection.

I considered getting the November posey as well as the October one but wasn't particularly enamoured by what was written on it.

My ghosts have had to be moved from the windowsill to the top of one of my bookshelves now 😂

I never felt more like myself than I did during my visit of York and London in September 2022.

back at it again at the little clay creatures mine

#em's adventures in the ceramic bowl mines #this episode of little clay creatures is brought to you by the couple of episodes of grave history that I had leftover on my phone #after downloading them to listen to for a million bazillion hours of field drawing last year... #anyway. if I can figure out how to make the rabbits more easily there Will be more of those since this one is looking v nice #and I've been looking at the york ghost merchants again so I've made a little clover ghost #also a toad and another seal but didn't take a photo as I am Big Tired #last week's seals aren't out of the bisque yet but will update When they are :]

Are you normal, or did you buy glow-in-the-dark yarn just so you could crochet a ghost that you can barely see in a photo?

#my maggie from the york ghost merchant needed a friend and I saw the yarn and boom #crochet #nonsense

Hope York is treating you right!

It’s certainly is! It’s one of my favourite places an finally got a little family of ghosts from the ghost merchants 👻

Currently sat in an old coffee shop writing like I’m that girl 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just realised that I bought some ghosts from The York Ghost Merchants at the beginning of October and didn't even TELL y'all about them.

Well, that changes now. 👻

1. This is Nell, named after both Eleanor Crain and a character of my own. She does a very good job of guarding some of my acting tomes. It's the little smile that really sold her for me.

2. This is Oz, named after another of my characters. He also guards my (boo)ks (most of them do tbh). Really like how the artwork on him looks a bit like theatre curtains, as well as the glinting yellow eyes.

3. This one is Quartz. Quartz is just very snazzy. No backstory in particular as of yet, but I love the cracked marble effect. Very ominous, but also a lovely hint of lilac to balance things out.

4. This is Evergreen. Again, no particular backstory at the moment, but this was the first ghost I chose because I just love the colours and the paint splatter effect. Also, incredible balancing act there.

5. And finally, there's (sigh) this one.

This is Boochard, because of course.

Boochard lurks around behind my laptop looking dramatic when I'm recording. Well, I suppose it's hard NOT to look dramatic when you're decorated like that.

So, there ya go! GOOSTS.

I really hope they've brought you even a fraction of the joy they bring me on a daily basis. ❤️

(Please note I also bought ghosts for other people. These are just the ones I possess (ha) myself.)

[ID: A reply on a post from the original poster, @/katakaluptastrophy, reading “@/sunshine-fruit-of-the-vine Ooh, your point in the tags about Corona’s comment to Judith is really interesting! Though I suppose it could also be interpreted as the Second being the ones doing the business contracts? Also please tell me more about your political headcanons…” /End ID.]

@katakaluptastrophy this is old but you absolutely do not have to ask me twice oh my god. This is where I reveal exactly how much of a history dork I am so be warned. I have also indicated Vibes in case that is helpful to anybody

So the common denominator among the Houses (as well as among societies as a whole, I spent like half a unit in my sociology class on this last year) is that there’s always a small upper class/nobility/etc and the population gets larger as you go down the ladder. That manifests in different ways within the different Houses, but it’s the same principle: The rich are few, and the poor are many.

That being said…

SECOND: The military leaders of the Nine, the Second are the ones who do the actual conquering of planets. However, Corona’s comment about how “as a Second, [Judith] should be willing to sell her birthright for economics” suggests they might not be getting their share of the profits. A huge portion of the Second lives in poverty, especially the capital city of Trentham, and pretty much the only way to escape it is to join the Cohort. The wealthy and powerful (generals, admirals and war heroes) vehemently deny there ever being a problem. For vibes, think New York City or Chicago but A Little Worse.

THIRD: The economic center of the Nine, the Third is a trade powerhouse and a hub for merchants and artisans. But they also export something a little less palatable: Propaganda for the Empire. The capital, Ida, is an enormous massive palace very similar to Versailles, where the best of the best workers (and the friends of the royal family) are privileged to live. Unlike the Second, where hard work actually can bring you up in the world, success in Ida comes out of bribes, flattery and sex. For vibes, think Paris but even less subtle, and crazy on the amethysts.

FOURTH: Supposedly a backup to the Second. In actuality, the lack of any real leadership has left the small and vulnerable population (veterans, the sick and disabled) to the mercy of the Fourth’s criminal underbelly. The capital city of Tisis is functionally a ghost town, mostly full of impotent, sheltered nobles and extensions of the mafia collecting bribes, and the other cities aren’t much better. For vibes, think Piltover (I don’t play league of legends but I LOVE Arcane), but the upper city is way more depressing and abandoned and the whole thing has kind of an ancient Roman feel as well.

FIFTH: The administration of the Nine, the Fifth works closely with the Emperor himself to keep the internal workings of His Empire running smoothly. Koniortos Court is a complex and many-armed bureaucracy, managed by its Lords or Ladies (and Seneschals, who do most of the actual diplomacy) like clockwork. It lies nestled in the capital of Rhax, where the majority of the Fifth’s population lives and works. There are frequent rebellions, but they’re snuffed out with alarming ease. For vibes, think combination of Victorian London and the city from Ulysses Dies At Dawn.

SIXTH: Less of its own independent state and more of the Emperor’s House of Wisdom, the Sixth House is the center of learning in the Nine Houses. Almost all the Houses send the best of their best to study there, so there’s a lot of people, but its native population is incredibly small- the size of a single city on the Third. Most of the Sixth is a single huge, labyrinthine library, surrounded by dormitories and a few spaceship ports for trade with the Seventh. Rank is decided not by birth, but by ability and age (in theory, anyway; in practice, they’ve strayed a bit from Cassiopeia’s vision). It’s still very communal, and everyone considers each other family on some level. For vibes, think a walled city combined with a super old university.

SEVENTH: The Seventh is responsible for most of the beautiful things made in the Empire. They export and import a lot of art, from pottery to poetry, and are considered superior craftsmen to the Third (which is why Ianthe thinks so poorly of their cloud formation poems). Outside this, they’re largely self-sufficient and very insular, doing their own farming making regular contact with only the Sixth. The lower classes are mostly farmers, while the aristocracy is just a few families, which is how Heptanary cancer happened. For vibes, think the romanticized version of the antebellum South from old books that like to gloss over the slavery thing, but a little bit sickly and weird-looking.

EIGHTH: The religious center of the Nine, the Eighth is in control of the worship of the Emperor and his Saints, as well as the Nine’s religious traditions. They’re also responsible for a chunk of Imperial propaganda- less than the Third, though, and directed less to the shepherd worlds and more within the Nine Houses. They live similarly to the Ninth House, with religious decadence, everyday asceticism and very little social mobility. The population of the Eighth House is actually very diverse, full of pilgrims from all over the Empire. For vibes, think medieval Italy but it’s all minimalist white and it ruins the whole thing.

NINTH: We know about the Ninth. We got like ten chapters about the Ninth. For vibes, think the Ninth.
