Reading The Smoke 01.01.2024

Even after all this time, I am still a baby witch and don't know all the card meanings off the top of my head (still using a guide). But I'm looking forward to getting the practice in this year~

Pull -The Moon (Reversed) -Eight of Wands -Ten of Pentacles (Reversed)

Meanings -The Moon (R): Release of Fear, Repressed Emotion, Inner Confusion -Eight of Wands: Speed, Action, Air Travel, Movement, Swift Change -Ten of Pentacles (R): The dark side of wealth, Financial failure or loss

Intent / Interpretation: My intent with this pull was to get a sort of baseline. Taking my goals and current plans into account, I wanted to see what the future looks like on this path.

The Moon reversed pulled as my first card. Honestly, this one made a lot of sense, particularly with the release of fear. I just recently confronted someone close to me on how they've been treating me and set some boundaries with a deadline for them. I had been putting it off for a few months, giving them the benefit of the doubt and taking on certain responsibilities onto myself. I finally took the time to stand up for myself, while the result of that is yet to be seen.

The Eight of Wands was a bit on the nose, but not in a bad way! Swift change is probably referencing my roommate situation (considering the ultimatums I gave to continue living with them) or just with my plans to better myself. A lot of change all at once that will take a lot to keep up. Even daily pulls is a massive change. Air travel also makes sense, considering I have a work trip coming up and some plans to travel out of state for a bit.

The Ten of Pentacles reversed worries me a bit. A lot of my goals and plans involve finances and money to back them. A financial loss could be seen as a good thing in literal senses, since it could mean that the loss is played in tandem with completing some of my goals. A financial failure could also mean that I don't do any of what I intend to do. It's hard to tell at this point.

Overall, this feels optimistic to me. I choose to see this as optimistic, regardless of how much the final card worries me. I'm starting on a better foot this year, with more respect for myself and surrounded by people who want what's best for me. I can do this!

Did I do any of what I set out to do creatively last year? No, no I did not. But! It's a brand new year with brand new goals and priorities! I'm going to try using this space as a way to archive my own growth and projects again, hopefully with a bit more frequency.

There are some literary, some cosplay, some tarot things I want to do better at recording. For myself if for no one else. So here's to a new opportunity for a fun year! Bring it on, 2024~

Some goals I have for the year to get the creative juices flowing: -Daily Card Pulls -Cosplay/Art Project Progress & WIPS -Fire's Library Continuation

This is my year~

I saw a poll about how many works you've published on Ao3 and so then I got curious. So let's try this.

How many WORDS have you published on Ao3???

i'm talking total word count that you can see if you look in your statistics.

#fire's ramblings #a little under 9000 words published #ive written WAY MORE THAN THAT #but hek if i dont psych myself out when it comes to posting #i dont care if things are well received AND YET #I CARE A LOT

I made cookies! Excited to see how they taste. I was supposed to make them for my dnd group for our character creation meet up, but I didn't realize the butter and egg needed to be room temperature and the dough chilled.

I'll know for next time! If you wanna try these for yourself, the recipe is on [ critical role books . com / cookies ] (take out spaces).

Fire's Library: The Nine Eyes of Lucien

Title: The Mighty Nine The Nine Eyes of Lucien

Author: Madeleine Roux

Pages: 297

Genre: Fantasy Adventure

Read time: 11.02.22-1.20.23

I just finished "The Mighty Nein The Nine Eyes of Lucien," and let me tell you, I have never been more happy to have picked up a book in a long time!

This was the perfect start to my 1-book-a-month goal. Since I tend to hyper-fixate pretty hard on my interests, reading a book based on the characters of that hyper-fixation just makes sense.

The book gave a truly haunting insight and story to the Tiefling before our Circus Man came to be, and all the nods and Easter eggs to other campaigns and lore were a massive treat.

If you love angst and whump with an open ending for growth, I highly recommend giving this a read. Well worth the time~ And if you prefer audio books, Robbie Daymond narrates and the cast reprise their characters, so it's very reminiscent of a podcast.

For my next book, I might do a review per chapter or every few chapters. It'll be spoiler heavy obviously, but this is mainly for me anyway. I do love a good journey~
