i know we cant conclusively date anything in the aesopica but 164 vs babrius 141 and phaedrus 4.1 is literally evidence of the evolution of gallaic identity

i got unbaaaanned here's an ask: can i get a behind the scenes for (one of) your fav/s akekita scene/s you've written, any fic 👀 like, how did the idea come to you, or some fun fact abt the writing process... if you have anything to share ^^

Thank you for this!! I've been dying to have an excuse to talk about this stuff, you have no idea!

This wasn't exactly what you asked, but I thought I'd mention that people who have read my stuff in general point out my use of off-the-wall metaphors/similes. If anyone enjoys my little flair in doing this, I highly recommend reading the works of Peter Beagle! I shamelessly stole the technique from him and made it my own. I recommend starting off with The Last Unicorn (it's a classic for a reason), but any of his older works share a similar style (A Fine and Private Place, Folk of the Air). I'm not sure that I would be a writer today without him.

Anyway...

-Fun fact: Akechi is easier for me to write than Yusuke. I, too, am very angry inside and probably just need a hug lol It's cathartic. Although, two years of studying art in college actually helps with writing Yusuke, because I don't need to look up art terms.

-In Aesopica, the ending was highly inspired by my favorite Tokyo Ghoul fic, in which Kaneki turns the tables on Tsukiyama in the end (huge content warnings for that TG fic btw). I loved how satisfying the circular nature of it was and wanted to try something similar. I knew the ending I wanted to create right from the first chapter.

I cannot remember how I came up with the fruit bowl to both mark the passing of time, and the decay of their relationship. But go past me for coming up with that! My 2017 brain was the real mvp.

This is also my longest fic and you will not see me write anything this long again lol I just don't have it in me. Shout out to long fic writers, I'll have some of whatever you're snacking on.

I also remember this being something of a vent fic. I was sad and wanted to my faves to be sad together. While I do enjoy supportive akekit, where they both grow together, I also love when they just make each other worse.

-Sliced Halves, Light Syrup, please imagine me in the grocery store staring blankly at a can of peaches while concocting an entire fic. Writers are very normal people.

This is also my second most popular akekit fic. Fluff sells, I guess. I prefer my darker stuff tbh!

-After Aesopica, my personal favorite of mine is Psychosomatic. I'm shy about my love of organ-fondling since it's not a common thing to be into (there's not even an official ao3 tag for it lol), so I'm grateful to the person on the kink meme for prompting this. Knowing someone else was interested allowed me to put myself out there and write it. I re-read it not long ago just for fun, and it holds up. It's the intimacy of literally touching the insides of someone, you know?

-I'm scrolling through my akekit fics now and wow! I do not remember some of these? Who wrote these while I wasn't looking??

-Kilroy Was Here was going to be serious angst about Akechi forcibly kissing Yusuke so that he would no longer trust him, because he feels like he doesn't deserve trust, blah, blah... But the idea of Yusuke annoying the crap out of him before they got to that point was so funny to me that I had to run with it. If anyone was wondering about my sense of humor, this fic is it. (I am not funny)

-Born to be Posthumous 69 kudos harr harr... I enjoy this one even if it wasn't as popular as some of my others. I remember being depressed and angry and wanting to take it out on Akechi.

This is getting long now, but it was fun! Thank you again! Hopefully this wasn't too far from you asked! Most of my scenes just come to me as I'm writing with a basic idea in mind, so I just toss them in as I go. A humble chef tossing anything she finds in the fridge right into the soup.

Now that I'm back from my writing hiatus I definitely plan to bring out more akekit when I can!

florafunweek2021 Day 1: Firsts/Regrets

Have some of their backstory in RWBYPirates. Elm’s an Atlesian noble named Greta Rainhart forbidden from loving Vine, a farm boy. That doesn’t stop them from sneaking out and eventually having their first kiss. They’re soon caught by Elm’s mother and after a fight involving Vine’s family and authorities, Vine is forced into the Atlas Navy so that he won’t see Elm. This backfires when the ship he works on escorts Elm on a brief noble trip. Upon returning to Atlas, Elm disappears and eventually turns up in the Navy with cropped hair and her new name, Elm Ederne. Both are placed on the Aesopica under the command of Commodore Ebi. Things change however when the ship betrays the Atlesian Navy, Admiral Ironwood, and King Ozpin, but that’s a story for another day.

Two completely unrelated thoughts:

1. Ecaterina is the scorpion from Aesop's fables

2. Ursule always smells like WD-40

#ECATERINA ABOUT: i spend a lot of nights on the run and i think i'm lost and can’t be found #URSULE ABOUT: you got lives in you; hard to kill #does wd 40 exist in fallout? probably not #but who cares #also the aesopica raised me and each muse should get an #eli-assigned aesop's fable

FABLES OF AESOP - “INFAMOUSLY FAMOUS”

Aesop, and by extension his work is possibly the oldest and most well-known collection of fables, of all time. a title that equates to about as much recognition as being the greatest modern blacksmith (although Brad Silberberg, Yoshindo Yoshihara and Tom Joyce all deserve a little more recognition in the world - and by heck if I have to do so, then so be it..)

We don't know much of anything for certain about him, but it’s been commonly understood that he was a slave in Greece, and wrote much of his work around 550 B.C.  During his time alive he developed a real itch for writing stories involving animals that reflected the world around him, at the time - and frankly still do today. 

The purpose of these fables were to teach and communicate moral lessons from person to person.

Many of the morals in his fables revolve around equality, justice, and virtuous behavior. Without question, Aesop created a treasure trove of fables for children to read and draw lessons from.

AESOPICA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesop%27s_Fables#List_of_some_fables_by_Aesop

“a collection of fables credited to ‘Aesop’, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE” although, Aesop’s Fables may not actually be all correctly attributed to himself, as Sumerian proverbs tended to follow the same structure and story of Aesop’s Fables, so much so that it may be the case he didn’t write the proverbs.

The fables were originally told from person-to-person as much for entertainment purposes but largely as a means for relaying or teaching a moral or lesson.

Many of Aesop’s Fables have sparked popular sayings that are used today. Some of these include:

'Beauty is only skin deep.'

'Choose the lesser of two evils.'

'Every man for himself.'

'Slow but steady wins the race.'

'Think before you act.'

'You cannot escape your fate.'

the most famous of his work is..

The Tortoise and the Hare: 

One of the most famous of Aesop's Fables, 'The Tortoise and The Hare', tells the story of a race between a tortoise and a hare.

It's theorised that Aesop featured talking animals in his fables, because he had difficulty speaking - but could speak freely through his anthropomorphised animals.

The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Another of Aesop's most famous fables 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf', highlights the importance of always being truthful.

The Lion & The Mouse

'The Lion and The Mouse' tells us about the importance of kindness.

that mercy always has a reward and that regardless of size, one is always able to demonstrate kindness and helpfulness to another. 

when reading through the 725 fables on offer, in my free time - I came across a very clear divide in quality - here is some brief analysis of some of my favourite fables

The Ants and the Grasshopper : Work hard and play hard, but always be prepared.

The Bell and the Cat : Having lots of ideas is good, but having one idea that works is better.

The Dog and the Shadow : Be happy with what you have and don't be greedy.

The Crow and the Pitcher : If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

The Two Crabs : Lead by example.

The Gnat and the Bull : The world doesn't revolve around you.

The Hart and the Hunter : Your weaknesses can also be a strength.

The North Wind and the Sun : Kindness and persuasion are better than force.

The Wolf and the Crane : Don't always expect a reward.

The Lion and the Rabbit : Often, being smart is more useful than brute strength.

The Monkey and the Crocodile : Don't underestimate yourself. Trust your instincts.

The Frog and the Ox : Be humble and truthful, rather than boastful.

The Fox & The Crow : don’t believe everything you hear.

FURTHER ANALYSIS

after reading through, and taking notes on a few of the more obscure pieces, that I’m hoping others on the course won't go for picking - I decided to narrow my choices down further with analysis on my favourite of Aesop’s works.

THE HEDGEHOG AND THE FOX https://interestingliterature.com/2019/04/a-summary-and-analysis-of-aesops-the-fox-and-the-hedgehog-fable/

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB ah yes - who doesn't love a classic story of tyrannical injustice in which a victim is falsely accused and killed despite a reasonable defence...

..well Aesop sure did

A wolf comes upon a lamb while both are drinking from a stream and, in order to justify taking its life, accuses it of various misdemeanours, all of which the lamb proves to be impossible. Losing patience, the wolf replies that the offences must have been committed by some other member of the lamb's family and that it does not propose to delay its meal by enquiring any further. 

Most people would say that the moral is something as readable as how the tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny. however - I went for something a little more subjective and it spoke a little more to me along the lines of something akin to “The unjust will not listen to the reasoning of the innocent.”

ZEUS & THE TORTOISE The fable tells how the king of the gods invited all the animals to his wedding but the tortoise never arrived. When asked why, her excuse was that she preferred her own home, so Zeus made her carry her house about forever after.

THE FOX & THE MASK The fable is always briefly stated and seems chiefly the vehicle for a criticism of the good-looking but stupid upper class. A fox comes across a mask anciently used by actors; after an examination, it remarks, 'So full of beauty, so empty of brains!'

THE FOX, THE FLIES AND THE HEDGEHOG  An enfeebled fox is plagued by flies, ticks or mosquitoes, of which a hedgehog offers to rid her. The fox refuses such help on the grounds that the insects have already gorged themselves on her blood and hardly trouble her now, but they would inevitably be succeeded by new swarms if removed 

since self-interested politicians are a necessary evil, to replace one who has already exploited the state with others who have yet to satisfy their greed would only make the situation worse

THE ASS & HIS MASTER “hang on to your present evil, lest it become worse”

There an ass in the employ of a gardener complains to the king of the gods that he is not fed adequately and asks for a change of master. He is transferred to a potter and prays for another change because the loads are so heavy. Now he passes to a tanner and regrets leaving his first employer. At a time when slavery was common, the fable was applied to the dissatisfaction felt by slaves 

Laurentius Abstemius told a different version of the fable in his Hecatomythium (1490). In this the ass, tired of cold and only straw to eat, pines for the end of winter. In spring there is so much work that he wishes for summer, and then for autumn, under the burdens each season brings him, and in the end 'his last Prayer is for Winter again; and that he may but take up his Rest where he began his Complaint'

Story Saturday - Tyche, the Greek Goddess of Fortune, both Good and Bad

By Tiffany Faye, 7/10/2021

The Greek Goddess of Fortune was known as Tyche and her Roman counterpart was Fortuna. They were both the personification of good and bad fortune and were the blame for the series of unexpected and random circumstances that we call luck or chance.

Like most of the Greek pantheon, her exact origin can only be speculated. Most accounts have her as the daughters of Oceanus and Tethys, and as such is an Oceanid. Others say she is the daughter of Zeus and either an unknown woman and Themis, the goddess of law and justice. Finally, other accounts have even named her as the daughter of Aphrodite and Hermes.

Tyche is apart of the Moirai, or the Fates, because of her role that she plays in the fortune of men. She is also said to work closely with Nemesis, the goddess of retribution. Together, they bring balance to individuals lives and the world. Later, she became Eutychia, the goddess of Happiness and Good Luck. Some believe the Eutychia to be the name give to Tyche good side, the one that bestows good fortunes on men. While this could be the case, Eutychia's Roman counterpart is Felicitas and she is a completely separate goddess from Fortuna. She was also said to have been a close companion of Persephone, whom she would pick flowers with.

Tyche would often be blamed for the misfortunes of men but then would never be thanked for any good fortune that would befall on them. In one tale from Aesop's Fables, Tyche came across a traveller who fell asleep by a well. When she saw him, she woke him up so that she wouldn't be blamed for the misfortune that caused him to fall in. In another tale from the Fables, a farmer had found treasure on his land and praised Gaia for the blessing and gave no praise Tyche. She reprimands the farmer for this saying that had the treasure been stolen by thieves, he would have surely blamed Tyche for the bad luck.

Tyche was said to have been the one who would collect the fruit that gave the Olympians their immortality and powers. The fruit had to be collected before the first rays of light from the day would touch them or they would loose their magickal properties. Tyche was the only one who could collect them.

She appears in another tale from Aesop's Fable, called Tyche and the Two Roads, although Prometheus sometimes replaces her in these stories and it would then be called Prometheus and the Two Roads. The story is the same in either version. Zeus asks Tyche, or Prometheus, to create to roads for mankind - one that leads to Freedom and another that leads to slavery. The road to freedom is extremely difficult, almost impossible to pass, but as you travel along it the dangers decrease and the lack of food is now abundant. The road to slavery is easy in the beginning, is seem the easiest path to take until you have travelled too far to turn back and it starts to become more impassible with every step.

One thing is for certain, if you decide to work with Tyche, be sure to thank her for any good fortune that befalls you.

Akekita (Only going with this one cuz Anvils beat to Pegoryu lol)

when I started shipping it if I did:  Goro’s boss fight where I was like. “hmmm... this sounds familiar. Me thinks the Kosei boys should smooch?” Although reading Aesopica really solidified it for me because their dynamic there is Perfect

my thoughts: MY OTP MY GOSH. I love them. They have so much in common and thus a reason to fucking hate each other, but also they can potentially be so soft and understandning and just jakhdjkshafdghasgfdhsj THEM

What makes me happy about them: They are better than everyone around them and they know it and I love them.

What makes me sad about them: canonically they don’t meet under great circumstances. Like, the fact that Goro is trying to kill Joker is a pretty big killer on any relationship working out.

things done in fanfic that annoy me: there aren’t that many akekita fics, I don’t think there’s a general enough trend for me to be annoyed by.

things I look for in a fic: I will literally read anything in the akekita tag, but I am a sucker for “akekita hooks up bc of unrequited shukita/akeshu”. Also really any fic that acknowledges the tension caused by Akechi being on a mission to kill Joker. Also I like it when they are roomates

who i’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Any of the PT + Mishima and Hifumi

My happily ever after for them: Probably a nice house in the city where they can go out and do things together on weekends and also with their stray cat, two lobsters, crow son, and the fox that followed Yusuke home one time. 

favorite nonsexual activity: Date nights to the movie, observatory, museum, etc.

Thinking about my past akekita fics, and randomly remembering the person on twitter who thought Aesopica would have a happy ending.

I am so sorry, twitter person.

(but also not really)

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB

A stray Lamb stood drinking early one morning on the bank of a woodland stream. That very same morning a hungry Wolf came by farther up the stream, hunting for something to eat. He soon got his eyes on the Lamb. As a rule Mr. Wolf snapped up such delicious morsels without making any bones about it, but this Lamb looked so very helpless and innocent that the Wolf felt he ought to have some kind of an excuse for taking its life.

"How dare you paddle around in my stream and stir up all the mud!" he shouted fiercely. "You deserve to be punished severely for your rashness!"

"But, your highness," replied the trembling Lamb, "do not be angry! I cannot possibly muddy the water you are drinking up there. Remember, you are upstream and I am downstream."

"You do muddy it!" retorted the Wolf savagely. "And besides, I have heard that you told lies about me last year!"

"How could I have done so?" pleaded the Lamb. "I wasn't born until this year."

"If it wasn't you, it was your brother!"

"I have no brothers."

"Well, then," snarled the Wolf, "It was someone in your family anyway. But no matter who it was, I do not intend to be talked out of my breakfast."

And without more words the Wolf seized the poor Lamb and carried her off to the forest.

The tyrant can always find an excuse for his tyranny.

The unjust will not listen to the reasoning of the innocent.
