Hey! I was just wondering after finishing chapter 11, how would the dates/calendar transfer to the calendar we know now - and I was mostly wondering when each LI has their birthday, or how would that translate for R.
See this ask for the corresponding months!! As for what the canon birthdays translate to:
R: 5 Falling / September 21
A: 18 Warding / February 1
D: 1 Promise / May 20
X: 25 Remembrance / April 14
The Crown: 12 Mourning Embers / December 27

GIRL. That second one is crazy to say.
R thought she was on her private account saying all of this 🤭 thank you for sharing. Truly wild that she’s in denial that she sparked this Zeglyth fandom. I know BB hates her lol.

the thing about art is that it was always supposed to be about us, about the human-ness of us, the impossible and beautiful reality that we (for centuries) have stood still, transfixed by music. that we can close our eyes and cry about the same book passage; the events of which aren't real and never happened. theatre in shakespeare's time was as real as it is now; we all laugh at the same cue (pursued by bear), separated hundreds of years apart.
three years ago my housemates were jamming outdoors, just messing around with their instruments, mostly just making noise. our neighbors - shy, cautious, a little sheepish - sat down and started playing. i don't really know how it happened; i was somehow in charge of dancing, barefoot and laughing - but i looked up, and our yard was full of people. kids stacked on the shoulders of parents. old couples holding hands. someone had brought sidewalk chalk; our front walk became a riot of color. someone ran in with a flute and played the most astounding solo i've ever heard in my life, upright and wiggling, skipping as she did so. she only paused because the violin player was kicking his heels up and she was laughing too hard to continue.
two weeks ago my friend and i met in the basement of her apartment complex so she could work out a piece of choreography. we have a language barrier - i'm not as good at ASL as i'd like to be (i'm still learning!) so we communicate mostly through the notes app and this strange secret language of dancers - we have the same movement vocabulary. the two of us cracking jokes at each other, giggling. there were kids in the basement too, who had been playing soccer until we took up the far corner of the room. one by one they made their slow way over like feral cats - they laid down, belly-flat against the floor, just watching. my friend and i were not in tutus - we were in slouchy shirts and leggings and socks. nothing fancy. but when i asked the kids would you like to dance too? they were immediately on their feet and spinning. i love when people dance with abandon, the wild and leggy fervor of childhood. i think it is gorgeous.
their adults showed up eventually, and a few of them said hey, let's not bother the nice ladies. but they weren't bothering us, they were just having fun - so. a few of the adults started dancing awkwardly along, and then most of the adults. someone brought down a better sound system. someone opened a watermelon and started handing out slices. it was 8 PM on a tuesday and nothing about that day was particularly special; we might as well party.
one time i hosted a free "paint along party" and about 20 adults worked quietly while i taught them how to paint nessie. one time i taught community dance classes and so many people showed up we had to move the whole thing outside. we used chairs and coatracks to balance. one time i showed up to a random band playing in a random location, and the whole thing got packed so quickly we had to open every door and window in the place.
i don't think i can tell you how much people want to be making art and engaging with art. they want to, desperately. so many people would be stunning artists, but they are lied to and told from a very young age that art only matters if it is planned, purposeful, beautiful. that if you have an idea, you need to be able to express it perfectly. this is not true. you don't get only 1 chance to communicate. you can spend a lifetime trying to display exactly 1 thing you can never quite language. you can just express the "!!??!!!"-ing-ness of being alive; that is something none of us really have a full grasp on creating. and even when we can't make what we want - god, it feels fucking good to try. and even just enjoying other artists - art inherently rewards the act of participating.
i wasn't raised wealthy. whenever i make a post about art, someone inevitably says something along the lines of well some of us aren't that lucky. i am not lucky; i am dedicated. i have a chronic condition, my hands are constantly in pain. i am not neurotypical, nor was i raised safe. i worked 5-7 jobs while some of these memories happened. i chose art because it mattered to me more than anything on this fucking planet - i would work 80 hours a week just so i could afford to write in 3 of them.
and i am still telling you - if you are called to make art, you are called to the part of you that is human. you do not have to be good at it. you do not have to have enormous amounts of privilege. you can just... give yourself permission. you can just say i'm going to make something now and then - go out and make it. raquel it won't be good though that is okay, i don't make good things every time either. besides. who decides what good even is?
you weren't called to make something because you wanted it to be good, you were called to make something because it is a basic instinct. you were taught to judge its worth and over-value perfection. you are doing something impossible. a god's ability: from nothing springs creation.
a few months ago i found a piece of sidewalk chalk and started drawing. within an hour i had somehow collected a small classroom of young children. their adults often brought their own chalk. i looked up and about fifteen families had joined me from around the block. we drew scrangly unicorns and messed up flowers and one girl asked me to draw charizard. i am not good at drawing. i basically drew an orb with wings. you would have thought i drew her the mona lisa. she dragged her mother over and pointed and said look! look what she drew for me and, in the moment, i admit i flinched (sorry, i don't -). but the mother just grinned at me. he's beautiful. and then she sat down and started drawing.
someone took a picture of it. it was in the local newspaper. the summary underneath said joyful and spontaneous artwork from local artists springs up in public gallery. in the picture, a little girl covered in chalk dust has her head thrown back, delighted. laughing.

please [rattles my can] more lore about R
They were born on 5 Falling, 529 AE (September 21). People romancing R will have noticed that CH11 takes place on R's birthday, though their birthdate is updated in the codex regardless of the route!
The first ever magic spell R learned was to create little sparks of electricity between their fingers, at 6 years old.
R never learned how to swim. If they had to swim now, they'd just use magic to move around. Without magic, the best they can do is stay afloat.
They can speak 6 languages: the three most spoken Arsurian languages (common Arsurian, Rojan's dialect, and Penawar's dialect), Hathurian, Qatheshi, and Thallosian. They're fluent in the former two, they are advanced in Penawar's dialect, they are proficient in Hathurian and Qatheshi, and they are passable in Thallosian.
R admires the way blacksmiths use magic. It's an area of warding magic combined with the physical skill and effort of constructing the item, which really impresses them. R considers it a pinnacle of using both one's body and mind equally (a bit of idolizing here haha).

I'm disappointed in Rachel, you would think that someone who has experienced so much hate online would be more aware. But she acts like a cyberbully.
Zeglyth shipping would happen whether she wanted it or not. Snowbaird had a bad ending and people like them, so it was expected that this attention would shift to her and Tom, as it actually did, because they are the representation of "less dark snowbaird"
She may not like it and that's okay, it's her right. But encouraging the bully, liking aggressive comments, and saying I love you after seeing in her tweet people wishing zeglyth shippers death, just because she said she won't share photos of Tom because she knows what people will say.
The photos are hers and the friendship is theirs and I have nothing to do with that. She posts whatever she wants on her social media. But direct this type of attention, why? Why encourage this unhealthy behavior?
You made a post yesterday about strange celebrity behavior, and well, this is one!
I was looking at your blog to see what makes people so angry, but I didn't find anything that unusual, they are things that happen throughout the fandon. I noticed that you really like mystical things, but they are not real, I even consider them to be well-written fanfics.
I'm not saying this to offend you.
I saw that you talk about Zegler and Rivera's abusive relationship, but I must say that you're also in one with Rachel.
I really feel sad for all of you here and X too. Trying to be positive about a celebrity who would be happy and still help destroy you, if she could.
Unfortunately, I agree with all of this.
I used to feel guilty about shipping them but I don’t anymore. I’m not doing anything unusual or illegal. R should not know about her own fandom as much as she does. If she sees something she doesn’t like, it’s time to act like a real celebrity and stay offline.
And if she does know, don’t embarrass yourself by telling your fans you see everything. She’s a golden globe winner worrying about shipping. She’s the ridiculous one at the end of the day, not us.
She’s unfairly criticized for saying something and ironically she’s doing the same thing to us. We’re getting criticized for shipping her with T, even though she feeds into it. She wants to bully us for something that she’s actively sharing.
She has two options:
1. Either post zeglyth and shut up
Or
2. Stop posting zeglyth all around
Obviously I would prefer option 1 but if she’s going to post zeglyth then complain that she’s insane and delusional. Also this is not hate, this is a fair criticism about her. I think she confuses the two. It’s fair to say that she’s blames us for shipping zeglyth even through she’s the captain of the ship.
Zeglyth was created because of their chemistry and snowbaird’s tragic ending. She knows this, everyone knows this, and she’s acting innocent as if she’s never shipped IRL couples. She has a tweet from a few years ago about reading Timothee C fanfic. I wonder how Timothee would feel about you reading fanfic about him, R? So to be blunt, she can kindly shut up about us shipping zeglyth. She’s guilt of doing the same thing.
People wishing death on zeglyth shippers is outrageous. These kids and high school dropouts have zero education and decorum. It’s never that serious.
Exactly. This blog consists of horny anons, people talking about zeglyth projects, gossip and tarot readings 💀 like hello, it’s fanfic and good vibes most of the time.
Not you saying we’re in an absuive relationship with R 🤭 she better stop because zeglyth is keeping her relevant. Without us, her fandom would flop. It would be crickets and middle schoolers without us. No one cares about the boar and Shazam.
She’s destroying herself at this point, not us.
