SAVONNE, NOT VONNY by Robin Lee Lovelace – Southern Literature, Myths & Legends, 1960’s
Robin Lee Lovelace evokes a world in which the mystical intertwines with the everyday in Savonne, Not Vonny, a coming-of-age story set in rural Louisiana. Nine-year-old Savonne lives in a small room at the back of Mama Gwen’s whorehouse, in Indianapolis in the ’60s. Her mama is one of the working girls, and her father is Mama Gwen’s own son.

Elemental affinities in Persona 4
Someone on Reddit asked about the correlation between elemental affinities and the characters. Kinda interesting to think about it. 🤔 I think Kanji and Yukiko have really straightforward ones but the rest of them I am winging.
Protag / Starter Izanagi: Strong to thunder, blocks dark, weak to wind Yosuke: Strong to wind, weak to thunder, gains fire resist
The protag's affinity with thunder and starting with Zio spells might be due to mythology? While Izanagi was not a god of thunder, there is a part in the myth where Izanami attacks him with a hoard of thunder gods and he wards them off. The dark resist might be because Izanagi gets out of the underworld and then purifies himself.
Yosuke's 2nd/3rd Personas being Susanoo might be where his wind affinity comes from. Stories about Susanoo are about the sea, but he is also considered a storm god. So, wind, I-I guess?
Yosuke's Persona being weak to thunder feels like a gameplay thing since you only have Izanagi when you fight his shadow. Though them being opposites could also reflect their relationship. Like how Yosuke is the one who wanted to throw Namatame into the TV, and the protagonist is the one who has to snap him out of it. Or how the protagonist is the leader, but Yosuke is the mouthpiece.
Chie: Strong to ice, weak to fire, gains light resist Yukiko: Strong to fire, weak to ice, gains dark resist
Yukiko's elemental affinities definitely correlate with folklore and mythology. On April 30th, she brings instant noodles to the school rooftop. Kitsune udon for her, and tanuki soba for Chie. The kitsune and tanuki are two figures who come up in folklore, and Yukiko appears to be "kitsune coded" while Chie is "tanuki coded".
Kitsune are correlated with the color red and also with fire. Additionally, her first Persona, Konohana Sakuya, is also a deity related to flowers and volcanoes. Her 2nd/3rd Personas are Amaterasu who is associated with the sun. Volcanoes and sun fit the fire image.
Chie and Yukiko being weak to one another matches their folklore counterparts. The kitsune and tanuki, or characters representing them, are usually pit against one another. I think the most famous tale is Danzaburo? It can also be seen as a reflection of their relationship, and how their shadows distorted their feelings for one another into jealousy.
(Yukiko being weak to ice is kinda funny given that her name means "child of snow".)
Kanji: Strong to thunder, weak to wind, gains physical resist
Kanji's 1st Persona is a thunder god, so his affinity with thunder is pretty straightforward, as with Yukiko and fire. Wind is Yosuke's element, so him being weak to wind might reflect how Yosuke is pretty good at winding Kanji up.
Teddie: Strong to ice, weak to thunder, gains wind/dark resist
I correlate Teddie having an ice affinity Persona with the origin of his 2nd and 3rd Personas. The word Kamuy (Kamui) is from Japanese Ainu mythology, and the Ainu are indigenous to snowy Hokkaido. A Kamuy is a being of reverence and it's believed they walk around on earth as bears! So this is really appropriate for Teddie.
I have 0 thoughts about Teddie being weak to thunder. Maybe shared with Yosuke cause they live together - "We ride together, we get hit by Maziodyne and die together"?
Teddie and Chie having the same element seems like a gameplay thing. Chie only gets the single target spells, never gets ice boost/amp, and is more of a physical DPS with ice as a bonus. It's like how in P3, Junpei learned single target fire magic while Koromaru got the single target and AoE fire magic.
Naoto: Strong to light/dark, gains fire resist
Naoto having light and dark seems more like a gameplay thing to cover the remaining elements not used by the cast. Her 1st Persona is Sukunabikona, who is associated with hot springs and their healing properties, and also booze (I think) rather than light/dark.
Her 2nd Persona is a prince of Japan's imperial line, and her 3rd Persona is a title for the Emperor. The imperial family are supposedly descendants of Amaterasu (Yukiko's 2nd/3rd Personas), and the Amaterasu in this game is a pyromaniac. Naoto gaining fire resist on her awakening from Bikona to Yamato might be because of the mythological ancestry.
(Also, for those of you who never played Persona 4 on PS2, Naoto originally didn't have all 4 elements... Only Mudo/Hama/Megido... Suffering...)

The Four Seasons
Aka: Things About Jack and Mother Nature That I Totally Made Up But Drive Me Absolutely CRAZY BATSHIT INSANE. For Mother's Day!
Jack learned how to avalanche surf from her. He saw her surf down a massive rockslide once and went I WANNA DO THAT! SHOW ME NOW!!
The one and only ability that they share in its entirety is Wind Shifting (turning one's form into wind/air fronts). Mother Nature has a lot of variations of this ability, with leaves and petals and clouds and such, while Jack just has the snowy version.
And this is the first ability she ever taught him, out of necessity for fast travel when taking over seasonal duties.
They used to go for casual flights like this, and the whispering winds myth came about from these two talking while flying.
The other very small thing that they share is that Jack can actually hear Evergreens! In the same way that MN can hear all plants/flora, Jack has the same thing but only with evergreens, and very very faintly with mountains. But only if he sits up at a certain altitude where it snows, and only then it's more like a murmur.
Using the wind power thing, Jack has actually broken MN's wind speed record ONCE (1). He got real buck wild during the Blizzard of 1934 in Washington that year and capped out at 231 mph.
But he was such an ANNOYING SORE WINNER about it for actual DECADES that Mother Nature shut him right the hell up and beat THAT record with her own 253 mph winds in Australia and 1996. She still reigns supreme to this day.
Father Time sees a lot of similarities between the two and often regards both their intelligence and ambition as the most obvious to him.
Mother Nature got Jack into music/singing. There's a whole passage about how this came about reserved for the CC finale but it's my favorite thing.
They both cannot STAND the groundhog. He's a magical enigma and buts in with his own weather advice and annoy the both of them to no end.
When Jack was created Mother Nature's temperature regulation went kinda out of whack, so without any winter magic in her system she tends to run warm and is prone to heat flashes and overheats easier than before (Exacerbated by global warming).
She's the one that got him into music/singing when he was still very young, before he could permafrost. He got hooked on it as an art form/hobby from the beginning and I have a little passage about it right here! It's meant to show up somewhere in the CC finale but it's actually my favorite thing.
Tumblr media
She doesn't sing very much at all in public, not for an audience at any rate. It’s mostly reserved as a self-soothing habit she indulges in when alone. But the crowd tonight is amped, and they haven't heard her sing in centuries, in this instance it would be impossible to say no. The soft piano and building orchestrals cue her intro and the collective skins of all who were present ignited with goosebumps. Shivers up spines and a pang in their chests. The heavens open. The instrumental in the background gives way and makes room for her voice. Confidently ringing out to all corners of the tower with a powerful vibrato. But it also carries a sad current of sentimentality that softens the edge just a bit. Lucy and Charlie were just as enthralled as the rest of the public, not even daring to utter a noise during any of this. But Jack standing next to them was frozen in place, haunted looking.  A deep and ancient recognition lighting his eyes, a voice from his “youth” he never truly forgot but hasn't heard in a long time. Too long. Hearing every word as if it was the only noise in the room, forgetting where he actually was for just a moment. An instant, catapulted back in time. Shaking him to his severed core. He went looking for Mother Nature for a reason that has been lost to him for millennia, went searching for her in the meadows she frequents but he found Father Time instead. He was sitting on the ground with his back against a large birch tucked in the tree line, his eyes peacefully closed.  Jack was not afraid about ruining his moment and was going to ask where the council head had gone to but was promptly shushed by Father Time’s staff waving at him. He didn't say anything but put a single finger to his lips and mimed for him to listen. It took him a few attempts at starting a sentence before he finally kept quiet. And when he stopped, and strained, this was the voice he heard. Dulled by some innocuous distance away, but a voice like liquid gold that resonated with something intrinsic in his being that he could not explain. With only the birds and the breeze as her accompaniment.  A voice, a song that he couldn't forget if he tried. He remembers sitting with Father Time and just, listening to her sing. A habit that Mother Nature couldn't ever shake and a guilty pleasure that Father Time had developed. To sit and listen to her when she was harmlessly unaware.  Jack remembers that moment, that single instance of secretly listening to the woman sing, clear as still water. One never really forgets a moment such as that when their mother is the central pillar of their whole world. The awe of the moment crashes into him again in the present, causing his heart to skip a beat when the instruments fade back in. But the scariest thing was how unchanged she sounds. His memory of a time he used to wish long forgotten was still perfectly correct. She sounds incredible.

the price of your greed
Tumblr media
Stefan should've known it was going to blow up in his face the second Klaus suggested he help dagger Kol. Particularly after how everything went down the last time he’d helped Klaus to dagger one of his siblings. That creeping feeling of trepidation had only grown when Elena too had come to him with her own plan. Two conflicting plans all to put down one Original for a cure that had apparently already led to two separate massacres. He was starting to wonder whether it was worth it if it demanded such a high price just to find it. What would happen when it was finally within their grasp?
-༺₊⋆☾⁺₊༻-
"I don't wanna just dagger Kol, I want Jeremy to kill him." Elena's words had already registered before Stefan foolishly tried to disguise them with the revving of his bike. 
Really mate? You should know better, had the 20s taught you anything? He wasn't some common halfling vampire that could be stumped by mere parlor tricks. It appeared he'd grown soft, let the Mystic Fools believe they were safe from retribution after all their plots against him, especially Finn's death. Well, it was time he rectified that. He'd already lost one brother after keeping him safely tucked away for 900 hundred years, he wouldn't let their hubris take another from him.
Damon's death had been swifter than he'd liked but the young vampire had never seen it coming and that was what had mattered in the moment. Time was of the essence to save his little brother, he'd already lost his youngest, the Other Side wouldn't claim Kol as well. So one second he'd been beyond the barred door and the next he was in front of the weakened vampire. Damon had barely enough time to turn at the sound of the door screeching open before he was dead, and Klaus was gone.
"If you're going to threaten me again Klaus, you can save your breath." Were the first words out of Kol's mouth before he'd even had a chance to speak.
"It seems your paranoia has gotten ahead of you, brother." Klaus ignored the scoff and muttered 'You'd know' that followed. "The Gilbert's are planning to kill you."
The line went deadly silent as Kol came to a stop, Klaus could just hear the grinding of his brother's teeth over the line but that was enough for him to picture the murderous expression he must be adorning. 
"Are they now?"
For all the Mystic Falls bunch believed him to be the biggest monster, it was Kol that had garnered the more volatile and bloodied reputati on in the supernatural world of the two. It was Kol that the older sirelings feared. The ones that were old enough to have seen the Originals in the flesh, to have watched the myths about them be born. The ones that knew if Kol had appeared at your door then no amount of pleading would save you. Kol was no wolf, he had no need for the extended chase that Klaus had subjected Katherine to. The hunt only served to amp up the fear and apprehension in Kol's eyes.
Because Kol had been a witch - not a wolf - before their turning he knew that the torment was what really made the death significant, it was the suffering beforehand that ensured the earth would be scorched with the magic of their death. And it was something that Kol specialized in as a vampire.
"Well, you can forget about suggesting I return the daggers for my own safety. With the way you've all been fumbling over yourselves for this cure for your darling former blood bag, I don't trust that you won't just serve my daggered body over to them. This cure has clearly blinded you to any sibling loyalty you once felt." And with that, the line went dead.
Keep Reading.

International Fanworks Day: Feedback Fest Recs
Or, a list of wonderful crossover on AO3 that you really, REALLY should read. Originally written down in the comments to this post, which you also really, really should check out.
In A Strange Land (Nibelungenlied/Parzival): The Medieval literature rare crossover I didn't know I needed in my life. Laugh-out-loud funny, taking full advantage of the differences in tone, narrative structure, and storytelling devices between the poems it's based on in an elegantly sharp way that's absolutely irresistible and of the various traditions behind those same poems. So clever I periodically reread it. Also, specifically for the other nerds following this blog: great Hagen and Volker voices.
Tea Journal (Strange Magic/Fables): A story that uses the worldbuilding of one work to highlight the characterization of the other and bring it to its full potential, taking the readers on a journey moving smoothly from romance to drama to fluff, angsty and tender and fun and sexy until it reaches a beautiful, moving conclusion.
When Wart met the Doctor (Doctor Who/The Once and Future King): A fic I have craved since reading a certain tiny little line in The Sword in The Stone, using an inconsequential moment in the canon to build up a short yet delightful scene full of wonder and fun.
Identity Crisis (Prince of Tennis/Yuri!!! On Ice): A subtly cracky romp that brings two stubborn, prickly characters together via two adorable, fluffy cats with an attitude. How can you not love even just the premise!?
The Pendragon-Gorlois Family Reunion (The Historically Inaccurate Remix) (Good Omens/Arthurian Mythology): A cute, fun story with some nice moments of quiet, understated angst in between, finding thoroughly entertaining ways to play with Good Omens' wit and humor, Arthuriana's penchant for telling the same story in fundamentally different ways and amp up the drama whenever it can, and even certain things taken from Merlin BBC and its fandom. Which is fair, because it was written as a remix of a story about Crowley and Aziraphale watching the show, making it a lovely display of fannish creativity in more ways than one.
Green (Mad Mad: Fury Road/Norse Religion & Lore): A story about redemption, death, and growth and healing -- in that order. As the tags say, it's all about "turning patriarchal myths on their heads." A great rec if you were fascinated by the Norse mythology references in Fury Road, spent way too much time pondering over the the writers possibly slipping in a few more implicit ones (okay, maybe that’s just me), were always fascinated by Loki's children and appreciative of more positive takes on them, were always thrilled by kinder takes on death and the afterlife in general, and/or simply felt for Nux while watching the movie.

When it comes to manifestation there are honestly so many misconceptions and myths out there that can completely block your flow to receiving in more of what you want.
In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down some of the most common ones I’ve repeatedly seen in the spiritual online space that can unconsciously block you from receiving.
This Video was inspired after I heard someone in the spiritual community completely “Hating on” The Law of Attraction without even properly understanding what manifestation actually is. They were under an impression that The Law of Attraction is about Thinking excessively positively all the time and creating an “I want” list is too ego for their spiritual enlightenment to handle.
While I do believe everyone has their own path, philosophies, and opinions about how they view spirituality. To each their own, It was still a very narrow perspective on the Law of Attraction. However, This is VERY common for people who are either new to the law of attraction or simply have not practiced manifestation consistently. Many circles teach manifestation with a half-truth lens, toxic positivity, often shaming emotions & some don’t even include magnetism!
Which quite frankly drives me a little crazy because isn’t that the whole point? LOL
The main thing I was concerned with when i first heard this was, thinking to myself: This person will never change their old past programming, they won’t be as willing to have an open mind towards their intuitive magnetism (attraction power), and most importantly – It’s possible they aren’t even focusing on the world they desire to see!
They may be blocking how they are receiving in their life.
Which to me personally is devastating because Manifestation has completely transformed my entire life!
I think we can often miss the magic of manifestation or perhaps we don’t even see the magic! Let me shed the light for you. Ever since i first learned about how to manifest, I’ve been practicing the principles since roughly 2011 and haven’t stopped. Why would I want to?! I’ve used manifesting principles for all sorts of things from my health, my body, my relationships, money, house, cars, peace of mind, self-care, even potty training! Especially potty training – that was a life-saver. haha.
The thing is many people are only seeing Manifestation from one single lens of focus. If you’re new to manifestation, I highly recommend you spend some time in my Magnetic Manifestation 5 Day Challenge or Pick up a copy of my new Book Awaken Your Power to Manifest: A 30 Day Manifestation Challenge to learn to manifest in 30 days. Both are great Introductions to the power behind Manifestation and how to get started immediately to practice it in your own life.
The Worst Thing About Limiting Your Perspective on Law of Attraction
Here’s the worst thing about some of these Manifestation misconceptions. When we say: “manifesting is too ego’ “desire is bad” or “law of attraction” is just for new agers who don’t commit to the real spiritual path” – we’re also completely blocking our Attraction Power with unconscious Judgment and Deflection of receiving.
We are literally deflecting our ability to manifest! What if Manifesting was as easy as using your arms and legs? Bet it wouldn’t be so abnormal to you then.
There is also some people who say that the Law of Attraction goes against numerous religions, that may be true however Manifestation is 100% in the Bible. These Misconceptions are nothing more than belief systems we latched onto and some of them, may be completely blocking your flow of receiving.
It’s time you decide how YOU see Manifestation & Receiving.
So Let’s Start Debunking and demystifying some common manifesting mistakes so you can begin amping up your Attraction power!
In this video, I wanted to address some of the most common misconceptions about Manifestation and How you can immediately begin to Open your Perspective to new ways of seeing the law of attraction.
Some people think that law of attraction has a lot of rules attached to it or the Law of Attraction can sometimes get a bad rap for its reputation as being more materialistic and Ego-driven. However don’t let that persuade you away from the fact that Manifesting is also highly spiritual, Soul-driven, Your desires are safe guidance from your heart/soul and often part of your Soul’s personal Evolution. Let’s talk about it so you can Unleash the floodgates on your Receiving. If you stay to the end I share some Soul Work to help you immediately create a shift.

via john coulthart with an interesting essay of contextual info about the publishing history, and links to some older related pieces on his blog:
"The editorial board of Man, Myth and Magic was composed of heavyweight academics, together with John Symonds (Aleister Crowley’s literary executor and biographer), while the group of special consultants included Katharine Briggs (folklore), William Gaunt (art) and Francis Huxley (anthropology). Symonds brought Kenneth Grant on board. Grant at this time was the official head of Crowley’s Ordo Templi Orientis, and his presence gave the editorial team access to his large collection of Austin Spare artwork."
