❛ someone wants to play. but let me tell ya, two can play that game. ❜

♕ quotes from stories I never finished . accepting

It was a very nice office space - the Millennium Tower left nothing to be desired in terms of location, landscape views or even the luxurious décor that was visible even in the place's common areas. Eirene could see why it had so fundamentally changed Kamurocho after it was built - it was impossible to ignore that landmark, for better or worse; for someone fond of mementos of power and reminders of one's reach, she wouldn't have opposed buying some floors there for Quinn.

Unfortunately, there were none available - but it didn't mean that her personal assistant wasn't instructed to keep a watchful eye over the relevant adverts and contacts through rental agencies.

But real estate acquisitions for Quinn Enterprises was not on her agenda for the morning; a meeting with Majima Goro, instead, was supposed to fill the better part of the next hours. The Sixth Chairman of the Tojo had asked her to speak to his trusted advisor and the individual behind the ambitious plans of Kamurocho Hills to go over mostly financial information - reviewing valuations of the overall enterprise, revisiting the forecasts for the planned operation, combing through all the more relevant agreements associated to the project and other bureaucratic details.

In short, the chairman's idea was to have detailed and accurate data if the worst came to pass and the Tojo was forced into surrendering ownership of the place. Daigo's idea was not one Eirene could dispute - the signs of good leadership were also in preparing for failure and knowing how deep were the holes one could possibly fall into. But the fact was that Majima did not seem to share his boss' mentality to consider all scenarios - given the man's constant pacing in the room, it was obvious that giving up his pet project was not a solution.

"Someone wants to play. But let me tell ya, two can play that game," Majima said at length, stopping the circles he was surely imprinting on the carpet to gaze outside, standing by the window. Eirene smiled faintly at everything - even if his behavior was distracting her from the cold, focused analysis that she was attempting to perform over some old valuation reports, the businesswoman admired his fighting spirit. Majima wouldn't go down quietly - she could see why Daigo valued his counsel and experience so much.

In fact, he was just the type that her father used to favor when hiring new blood; he would have likely fitted nicely with the Irish mafia.

"I'm sure you are a formidable opponent, Majima-san. It would not be a very informed business decision to bet against you or your dedication," Eirene remarked in a pleasant tone, her bicolored eyes flickering towards the man by the window - but he turned around, pinning the Irishwoman under his impressive glare for a hard, long moment.

Eirene Campbell did not move in her seat - the Quinn CEO and founder was very much aware of the distrust that certain members of the Tojo had about her own business and even what she represented as a person; but with Dojima Daigo's word into play, they couldn't move to outright break his oath and the agreement with Quinn. But that didn't seem to be the case with Majima - his ties with Daigo were older, more personal.

But Eirene had no doubt it was a test of sorts for her, too.

"I have no desire in seeing your project going to the Ueno Seiwa - I'm sure Dojima-kaichou has informed you, Majima-san, but our agreement would not extend to anything that is out of the hands of the Tojo. It is in my best interest to see Kamurocho preserved under your control - our policies and goals are entirely aligned on this matter and Dojima-kaichou is aware of that."

Majima didn't say anything, but something in his expression changed - perhaps the words uttered by the blonde woman made sense, or maybe he was suddenly finding her an interesting distraction. At any rate, he approached the desk again and Eirene's polite smile widened even further, her hands expertly moving papers around into a pre-determined order and picking a list where she had flagged several accounts for review with red ink.

"Now, Majima-san - I require your input. from one company president to another," Eirene said, tapping over the piece of paper to secure his attention, "It seems to me that the valuations you have are outdated - the setbacks you faced while protecting Kamurocho Hills from Mutoh likely impacted the construction plans and the cashflow projections for the operational phase may need to be revisited," he glared at her then, but the Irishwoman held a hand up, signaling that there was more to come:

"However, the loss of equipment and other unexpected expenses you had at the time caused you a significant amount of net operating losses, which should turn into a benefit in the future. We need to make sure that we report this properly to the tax office, but all these losses would be deducted from your upcoming profits during operational phase - we would be looking at a substantial benefit once you go profitable, Majima-san."

The yakuza blinked, moving closer to her and staring at Eirene once more with the remarkable intensity of his one remaining eye.

"Lady," he said after a moment of silence, "Yer not makin' a lick of sense."

Eirene chuckled, linking hands over the desk and going back into her chair - her own pair of differently colored irises set on Majima, and she translated her own thoughts into more palatable vocabulary for the masses.

"Money, Majima-san. You may have bled in the past, but this will save you money in taxes in the future. We just need to report this correctly."

The man grinned then, a high-pitched whistle following while he clapped and moved away from the table, calling for his subordinate to bring over something to celebrate - there was money where they had been unaware of it; it deserved a drink (or barbecue). Turning around, his gloved hand pointed at Eirene, grin still very much in place and giving Majima a look of someone borderline maniacal.

"I like ya, lady," he declared, nodding vigorously, "Maybe Daigo's really onto somethin' with ya!"

Haiizu fankids - the twins, Eirene and Dinetai.

The Afto characters' names are all based on Greek words, so I did the same for the twins. Eirene means "peace" and Dinetai is based on "given" - a reversal on Hyrein and Ranbanein's names, which are both based on verbs meaning "take/conquer/seize" etc.

Izumi writes their names in kanji as well, though the reading is the same as their Afton names - 平和 ("peace") for Eirene, and 恵赦 ("blessing" and "forgiveness") for Dinetai.

Eirene takes after Hyrein in personality - she's thoughtful, cautious, and quiet, usually taking a moment to assess the situation before acting. Dinetai is relaxed and outgoing, and can sometimes be impulsive.

Eggs are usually produced in clutches, but it's rare for more than one to wind up viable. That Izumi and Hyrein's first clutch produced two healthy children was celebrated and considered a good omen. It also helped Izumi to be accepted as Hyrein's consort, as there were those who objected to Hyrein marrying an offworlder.

In their teens, the twins move to Mikado City as "exchange students" to attend school and train with Border. Outside of Border, their cover identity is that they are the children of Izumi and his Canadian husband, raised abroad. When they reach B-rank, they form a squad with Katori and Osamu's oldest child. Eirene is a shooter like her dads, Dinetai is an all-rounder who starts out as an attacker. Tachikawa mentors him in Kogetsu techniques - the twins consider him an uncle.

Its not much but its honest work ToT

Yesterday I read:

1 chapter of hanshe (I’m extensive reading, which is artificially easier than usual since I’ve read this before so even if I ‘forgot’ words, I honestly know them somewhere in my brain so they come back easily when reading)

2 chapters of Granting You a Dreamlike Life (eirenical’s translation reminded me ToT! Honestly if it weren’t for hanshe’s author’s writing being SUPER familiar to me, I think GYADL author actually writes a bit easier to read. The difficult part is the unrecognizable words I Actually have never studied before, unlike hanshe, so I have to put in a bit more effort to figure them out)

1 chapter of Journey to the West Vernacular. Easiest version I’ve ever read of this story, it feels like a graded reader. But has a slight style to it which makes it enjoyable. Easier to read than GYADL, but again hanshe is artificially easiest since somewhere in my brain I have all the words in it stored ToT.

0.5 chapters of ‘Liu Li’. So I had a link to Liu Li, Love and Redemption’s novel. Well. That link was apparently fanfic, I read a few paragraphs and oddly sects were being called businesses...then Ling Long said she got a job... then Sifeng showed up in a western style suit with GLASSES. And I was like yep this is definitely definitely the WRONG story lol. I actually have the print version of Liu Li in my house but its in a box right now ;-;. So yeah... I’ll need to go looking for this novel again lol, somehow I’d saved a fanfic last time I bookmarked it.

Honestly yes, I still just want to extensively read Guardian. But who knows when I’ll get the bravery to try that again. I also tried reading some japanese detective novels translated into Chinese (since that was what was popular in the section of a site i was browsing through). But um... seeing hanzi that represent japanese names just fried my brain way too much and I bailed after 1 paragraph. (Truly: I saw Tokyo written in hanzi in the first sentence, and my brain pronounced it the chinese hanzi way and it just hurt my brain to think about i don’t even know why).

Yesterday and today I listened to:

Final Fantasy VII lets play in japanese, I found a new lets player I like. She cosplays sometimes for them (for IX she dressed as zidane!) I used the closed captions on youtube so I had some japanese subs. It was artificially easier since I’ve played the game in english, so I could guess what words meant what. That said - I think that makes learning from it easier. I think that means if I just relaxed and watched a lets play of a game I’ve played, I’d pick up a lot of words from context that otherwise would be too difficult to learn as quickly. I know whenever I check out Kingdom Hearts cutscenes I can figure out words easy (cause I know that game by heart lol)

Midnight Diner condensed audio (I found a lot of japanese audio lately). I could catch bits and pieces of things said, which I honestly consider a success considering how hard it was to watch IN japanese only last time I tried. I did not follow what was going on, but just catching some bits of dialogue meaning was cool!

Final Fantasy X condensed audio. This is proof that (somehow) I could learn some new words from audio-only resources in japanese, specifically if they’re media I’m already familiar with. I know the scenes and characters SO well I have figured out a few words just now listening as I work. And I can tell what scene I’m hearing fairly easily (music cues and sound effects same as in english, actors have the same ‘vibe’ even though they’re japanese VAs), which makes guessing words easier since I know the topic. And then, I find recognizing words I ALREADY know easier (since I know the scene’s context I can expect them) - which is good review for me and helps improve my listening comprehension. Also I finally really hammered in soshite - and, dakara - because, oyaji - dad/pops, sekai - world, dekimasu - can! (also its so cute Lulu uses ‘anta’ when I’ve only otherwise heard anta used by yakuza in the Yakuza games ToT). Anyway just notes for me personally: I think its really cool to see that I can pick up NEW stuff and make improvements just listening to audio. Because I would have thought that ‘too hard’ to do at my level.

Alice in Wonderland in Japanese, read-listened in DuoReader app. Well. I did 5 pages. It was hard. I read a LOT of hiragana without kanji to help me as a crutch. Japanese and English have such different sentence structure that the english text did not help with comprehending the audio much lol. So I mostly followed the japanese text with the japanese audio. I do feel I learned some stuff. It was brain frying though. Although, I suppose, Listening Reading Method often does make me feel exhausted. Its a very intensive study method.

Can you tell I’ve been listening to a lot of japanese?? Studying japanese feels so much like I’m jumping in an ocean and going ‘LETS SEE ALRIGHTY’ and then treading water randomly to see if I’ll float or find any islands or drown. But when I use reading resources (because I did jump into trying to read Alice in Wonderland in japanese yesterday with audio), I find myself so reliant on kanji (based on my hanzi knowledge) that it really hinders my ability to pick up new hiragana words. I find this whole past year I’ve been a lot more successful doing mainly audio focus on japanese. But audio focused lessons also mean a lot more unknowns unless I’m using full on english-japanese sentence audio.

#rant #progress #lol i will do no studying for weeks then read 4 chapters in a night

I have not been following you for long but I'm just so impressed with your take on Anarkia! I've loved reading both your ic and ooc thoughts (that one on her connection to 'heresy', particularly!) and I adore that you are really making her a fully rounded muse without relying on the evident tropes that it feels the creators had in mind when designing her.

Honestly, I think you are able to capture her allure in such a subtle yet perfect way; it derives from her mysterious origin (rather than appearance, at least going from my experiences with the interrogation) and she just feels like an extremely intriguing figure that does not adhere to what most people in DisCity would expect her to and it makes her such an unpredictable individual - it's super exciting!

I just really appreciate the voice you've given her, balancing that seemingly gentle nature but with the ever-present hint of danger and the lethality she also carries around. I'm super curious to read & see more of your Anarkia on the dash! :)

aaaaah ur so sweet!!! 💙💙💙

i dont feel like i write ic posts enough but i'm trying to remedy that asap with all these asks in my inbox that i havent gotten to and my drafts ahhh... but yeah i enjoyed writing her connection to her own sin, heresy sm. i come from a background that is intrinsically connected with the middle east (not middle eastern myself, however), which i feel like i could provide insight to even just through my own culture.

honestly similarly with you: writing gacha characters has their own pros and cons, and unfortunately with both of our muses they do not get the main story's depth and exploration. to which i find is one of the fun things to explore: we go with the bare bones we are provided, although i have the luxury of her being in the first event featured in the game. to which, i was genuinely surprised that they went that route with her. at first i was going to be disappointed because her teaser line was very sultry, like a distant lovers thing with the chief but the event story went into more of her anger towards people, and honestly, i felt that and i wanted nothing more than for them to give me something that was more than just an elusive dancer or fortune-teller.

she is a very unpredictable individual and that is so... sometimes i worry about that balancing act. it's such a delicate thread to walk on but i'm happy to be here, and i'm happy to keep working on it. i'm glad that there are people who want to write with her, inside or outside the fandom, and i noticed the same for you too and it's always got such fun dynamics and different traits of the character to emphasise on. <3

thank you for this message, you are the sweetest. i hope to see more of your eirene as well, truly enjoying the yakuza crossover too.

Dear Brother

Garroth writes a letter to Zane after he dies, if only Zane was still alive to read it.

TW: Referenced Major Character Death, Greif, Referenced Minor Character Death

Posted on Ao3 as well

https://archiveofourown.org/works/37887820

Dear Brother,

I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me. I am sorry I wasn't fast enough, and I couldn't stop the blood from flowing out of your body. Dark black burns covering your body. You were smoking when I reached you from those very burns. Not regular smoke, of course not, but smoke nonetheless. And it reminded me for a half second of when we were younger, and I found you with the baker's son. I wish I had gotten there fast enough, so I could have at least had a chance to stop the inevitable.

That's a terrible way to start this letter, but you need to know that I'm sorry for what Happened to you. I love you dearly, a magnificent light on the family. I could not stop the inevitable, but how I wish I could. When all you now know is blood and war and hatred, I wish I had reached out when you had drawn away. Wish I had known what to say for once your light had been so bright, childish Naivety had no reason to dull... I miss you. The real you. The you who used to come to me after a nightmare. The you who used to tell me about the stories you'd read, or the adventures you so deeply wished to have.

You were always a sickly child, and sometimes I wished I had stayed when word comes that no one had seen you for days due to your being prone to illness.

You were never a fragile child though. And although I regret that fateful day, the day that caused you to draw away from me, I regret more that I never apologized for what I did. And I am sorry, I am so sorry that words may never describe it.

I'm the only one left of our mother's sons, and it is so lonely. I cannot grieve, it would not be right to grieve for someone my friends only saw as an enemy, but when I am alone I weep for my brother's. And I pray that things could have ended differently. If Eirene, you were always so fond of her I never thought it would end like this, were kind one day we may be able to see each other again.

Brother, there is a place I know of that I saw when I was still running. It was a beautiful place, a field of flowers and high grasses somewhere that I know you would have loved to see, and I'd like to believe that is where you are now. A beautiful place, where the anger in your soul has faded and you can be left peaceful.

You were always the scholar thinking on it now, you could probably have told me what every single one of those flowers were. I wonder what happened to that little boy sometimes. I never should have left you alone there, but I so wanted to be free, it was selfish of me and it hurt you in the end. It hurt so many people in the end.

It is wishful thinking, but I do want you to be at peace.

If you see Vyladmir can you tell him I love him? And I miss him as well? I know I never had the bond with him as I do did with you, but I still miss him.

You died my enemy, but you died my brother as well. I will never deny that the same blood that runs through my veins once ran through yours. Not after this. I won't disrespect you, and our mother, like that again.

You weren't born evil, no one is born evil, but you were taught and tainted. And I wish I had taken you with me when I had ran. I wish I had kept you safe.

I am a Ro'meave, and my blood is tainted with blood, curses, and grief. But I am your Brother, and I am our Mothers son. And I refuse to forget that again.

My Darling Brother, I hope in death you shine just as bright as you had as a child. I hope the pain you grew to accept has finally left you. I also hope that you see him again, and I apologize for being the one who caused his death, I know how much you had adored him. I should have known how Father would have reacted, how he would have punished you for the crime of love, and I am sorry for the pain we put you through, you did not deserve any of it.

And So, today I will mourn my lost brothers. And the family that could have been.

Ps. I put your grave in a meadow, it looks beautiful in the spring, and I know you will love it.

Your Brother, now and forever,

Garroth

Every once in a while I’m not in the mood to write fiction...

Sometimes I like to do literary analysis for funsies, or, surprisingly enough thanks to the content of this post, music analysis as well.

When I first watched Guardian, there was one song that stood out to me more than most of the others from the OST. It was always used in the scenes with more emotional weight, and was so haunting that it lingered in my mind long after the scene had passed. Once I was able to hunt the soundtrack down on Amazon (a feat that was much more difficult than it should have been imho) I came to learn that this song was actually Shen Wei’s theme. Shen Wei’s theme was in all of the emotionally hard hitting scenes and haunted me for long after the show had finished.

One day I was driving to work and I was just looping it over and over for my entire commute. It’s an hour long commute ya’ll. Just that song, over and over and over (and I’ve played it for several hours on a loop before and I have no doubt I will do it for many more times to come, this song is beautiful and haunting and I love it to death). As I listened I started to make some realizations, and as those realizations came to light it left me even more heartbroken than originally.

The Shen Wei OST is a perfect character journey. It tells his story in a way that words simply could not come close to. I’ve tried to sum up my best analysis of this song and what it means, and I’m sure I don’t even come close to what Luo Kun intended when he composed the song, but I hope that he would at least agree I have parts of it right.

I’m going to put the actual analysis beneath a “Read More” so please, drop me a line if you like what you read or if you want to discuss it further. I’d love to chat about this! It’s broken up into five distinct movements that I think relate to different points in Shen Wei’s life, and I should mention that this is looking at the character purely from the perspective of the drama. At some point I might go back and see if I can tie it into the novel at all, but that has not been taken into consideration here.

I’d like to state above the cut that my thanks go out to @elvencantation and @eirenical for looking over my initial drafts and giving me their opinions and helping with musical instrument identification. I might come back and clean this up someday, but for right now, I wanted to get something out there for everyone to read. I hope that you enjoy it.

Part I. Gege (0:00 - 0:35)

There is a very melancholy feel to the song, but it also has the quiet grace and strength that the audience can always associate with Shen Wei. This is the beginning of his journey though. This is a young boy caring for his brother. A boy who tries to protect and is cast aside, thrown down to the dirt, and returns too late to save the one remaining person still precious to him. The beginning of this song paints the picture of a solitary figure against the horizon, short in stature from age and inexperience, a blade much too big gripped in too small a hand. The piano solo here emphasizes his lone search for his brother and hoping against all hopes that he might one day find him and the two of them could be reunited.

Part II. Xiao Wei (0:36 - 1:08)

At 37 seconds in the strings make their entrance. I like to think it was a deliberate choice to have Zhao Yunlan pick up the violin during the Tan Xiao and Zheng Yi case, because I firmly believe the strings in this soundtrack are supposed to represent Zhao Yunlan just as the piano represents Shen Wei. These 32 seconds represent the Shen Wei that we see during episodes 34 and 35 in Ye Olde Haixing Era. A bright eyed energetic young warrior who cares about his men despite his position. He hides his fear behind a mask, under a hood, and does what he can to help in the war. But here is also when Kunlun arrives. A famous general who miraculously takes an interest in HIM. And what has he done to warrant such attention? The kindness that he is shown here helps to shape him, mold him into a stronger warrior, a stronger person, but it will be millennia before he will learn why Kunlun saw him for the person he was rather than the blade and power he wielded.

The strings here do not try to overwhelm the piano here, even though they easily could. Instead they seem to try to entwine with the notes from the piano and guide them. It’s a graceful dance between the two that represents the close partnership that Shen Wei and Kunlun shared during the war.

Part III. The Black Cloak Envoy (1:09 - 1:39)

This part of the song is particularly interesting to me. The piano is still present, but the tune has changed, the same for the strings, but now the sounds of a woodwind have joined the other two. It’s at this point Shen Wei has woken up after 10,000 years. He’s thrust into a new world that he must learn, and a Dixing that is far worse off than he ever imagined it would be. He is a legend, but he does not try to take power. His duty is still his to fulfill, but he does not seek to take power aside from that. This is the new life that he forges for himself, from who he was as a boy, to who Kunlun helped him become, but this is something he creates to survive in a world that is unfamiliar to him.

Now he is not needed as just a blade, although he will be that when it is necessary. Now he can pursue his love and inherent gift for learning. This is the man who emerges from the ground and takes up bioengineering as a field of study. This is the person who befriends Cheng Xinyan and probably has more than one or two study sessions with her. This is the college student that I’m sure was dragged to at least one karaoke night to blow off some steam, and may have discovered his aversion to alcohol that same night. This is someone who lived.

Part IV. Professor Shen (1:40 - 2:11)

The woodwind fades out and we are left with the string and the piano once more. The string though is more like the tide, pushing and pulling against the piano, but that is very fitting for the section of the song, and Shen Wei’s life, that Zhao Yunlan is introduced into. The strings surge forth and ease back, pushing Shen Wei for answers, but also easing back when he seems ready to break. The piano has returned to its tune from the first two movements, and it’s probably due to the uncertainty that Zhao Yunlan has brought into his life. Why has Kunlun suddenly reappeared and why is he acting like he doesn’t know who Shen Wei is? Why does Da Qing not remember him? In the face of these questions he retreats to who he was before, until he can determine what the best course of action to take is. If Kunlun is testing him or doesn’t remember too he doesn’t want to risk the chance that the man will not recognize him. This could be why we see the fond smiles and confused blinks, aspects that are so inherent to his character.

Part V. Shen Wei (2:12 - End)

I’m not going to lie, it was coming up with this part that really broke my heart. The strings remain, but fade to the background and are only faintly known. The piano has returned, and is at the forefront once more with no question as to who the lead is. Through all the changes in his life, he has come to realize who he truly is. He is a brother who is afraid he has failed his twin. A warrior and leader afraid he has failed his people. A man afraid that he will lose everything, but willing to make that sacrifice to save his friends and family, to keep the man he loves safe. He is no longer just a blade to be used. He has a purpose, one that has not been forced on him but that he has chosen for himself.

This is the Shen Wei who decides to use the light energy from Zhao Yunlan to make himself a living bomb. The man who decides that if his brother cannot be made to stand down then he will force him to. This is the man who looks into the eyes of his lover as he lays bloodied and broken on the ground, who sees all that they could have had in their lives, and silently begs forgiveness even as he makes the ultimate sacrifice.

And then the song fades out with the slowing piano notes, just as Shen Wei’s life ends with the slowed beating of his heart...

hi hi !! can you tell me more about your worship of Dike and also your Dike-Astraia syncretism, please? <33

omg hi 🥺 thank you for asking!

i'll start with Dike-Astraea. so first of all Astraea is already an attested epithet/surname of Dike which connects the two of them. off the top of my head another example would be Artemis Eukleia, Eukleia being used as a surname of Artemis but also sometimes (especially in pottery art) depicted as her own singular goddess of good repute. thats to say that you don't have to see Dike and Astraea as the same goddess and that it's possible for Dike Astraea and Astraea to exist as separate entities.

on her own Dike is the virgin goddess of justice, as is Astraea. as one of the Horae Dike is also a goddess of stars and constellations (by the ancient way of connecting the seasons to the placement of the stars) and a gatekeeper of the heavenly gates of Olympos which themselves are related to constellations. the main purpose of Astraea's myth is to identify her as a constellation (Virgo). she is also depicted as holding wheat/barely and Dike as a Horae is a goddess of agriculture. all that to say is that their realms of influence overlap directly and frequently.

in addition to all that the Astronomica gives Astraea two sets of parents: Astraeos and Eos and Zeus and Themis (Zeus and Themis being Dike's parents), and Aratus states that "Dike" is the name man gave to Astraea. it seems also that when some authors both ancient and modern discussed Astraea's myth they used Dike or simply Justice as the name to refer to her.

and on top of aaaall of that, divining has given me confirmation. of course in that respect i suggest everyone do their own divining and that my own does not contradict that of people who instead believe them to be wholly separate.

if that doesn't make sense let me know!

this post is already long so for the first part of your question i'll try and keep it a little shorter lol.

i worship what i consider the first triad of Horae (Eirene, Eunomia, and Dike) but of them Dike is the one i worship most singularly and who i am attached to most. my introduction to worshipping her actually came at the very very beginning of my worship years ago when i first discovered her and her and Aphrodite helped give me the courage to leave a very abusive situation i was in and seek protection. this is also why i often worship Dike and Aphrodite in tandem (also because the Horae are her attendants and part of her retinue lol)

social justice and praxis are very important to me and i believe she embodies those things. she is an exactor of justice, a punisher of the immoral and lawless, and a protector of victims. something in particular that resonates with me is her relationship with her father and how he respects her and she seeks his aid against mankind when they are wicked. (there are a couple of quotes on that you can find on theoi dot com)

in the "patron" sense of things i do work with her more under the positions she holds as a Horae specifically in gardening and cooking (though i would love to add mutual aid planning and volunteering to that list i'm not in that position right now). she's also connected to the other gods i mainly worship including Aphrodite, Dionysos (as his agricultural aspect, because of their interactions in art, and also because the Dionysiaca names the Horae as nurses of Dionysos) , and Persephone. mostly ive found that anything which is appropriate to give Aphrodite food/drink wise is appropriate to give to her also including offerings from my garden, live plants (i usually stick with cactus or low light plants because i'm in a dorm until late spring) and pocket knives i like. i also enjoy writing poems/hymns for her but that's how i conduct the majority of devotional offerings for all the gods i worship.

again thank you for the question! if you have anything specific you want to know please don't hesitate to ask and if you're thinking about starting to worship her i definitely encourage it (-:

Hi pseu! Could you recommend me some SLBP fanfic writers? I’m in need of Kojuro, Saizo and Yukimura’s content 😌

Hi, sweet Eirene! Happy to! ♥️♥️

@saizoswifey writes astoundingly well, and as you may have gathered from her username Saizo is one of her truest loves, so lots of 💎💎💎💎💎 Saizo stories, analysis, and even more GOOD STUFF from her! She also has a pretty 🥵 Kojuro onsen story up on Ao3! Her tumblr masterlist (which includes links to a lot of those analysis/appreciation posts, too) is right here. 🍡 If you are not already following her I strongly recommend that you do, she posts a mix of sweet, saucy, and screamingly funny, all good. She’s super generous with information and tips.

(And because I am bringing her up, I want to mention the masterpiece that is Ripple, one of the best things I have ever read. I consider myself a Ripple fangirl. My love for this story is part of my identity. ♥️)

@janumun is a friend and a very skilled writer, sometimes I save up her stories and then read them when I am taking an afternoon to myself (or a really indulgent bath). 😂 They’re sumptuous and sensual. She toes a really nice line of “HOT… and make it meaningful”. Her tumblr masterlist is here and I think you might also like Dar Una Caricia, which features our beloved Lancelot. She writes him sooooooooo well.

@quincette wrote the first SLBP fanfic I ever read, which is a Kojuro story (and I will never, ever be able to thank her enough!): Of Swordplay and Horse Riding. AUUUUUUGH here we are YEARS LATER and it remains SO GD GOOD 😩♥️♥️♥️♥️

@yoolee has a TON of what you’re looking for and is a sweet bean. Her masterlist is here and even though you did not mention Shigezane, I would be doing you a disservice if I did not point you directly to Burn Down, because… WOWZA. 🤯🥵♥️🤸‍♀️✨

@oh-my-otome @jemchew and @serenity-writes are out of the fandom now, but there’s absolutely fantastic writing on their blogs that I strongly recommend you check out! 💐

#slbp recs #toxiicmoron #little fandom love for some faves on a Wednesday 🥰

4, 23, 26 and 30 for writing asks :D

(I know I asked the same thing to other writers, but I like it when people talk about their OCs so… 😆)

Hey there Eirene!! <3 Hope you've been doing fine! And oh I totally get you, I keep giving the same numbers to everyone 😂 Thank you for these!

4 - Just answered it here <3

23 - Answered here!

26 - What would you describe as OOC?

Well I don't get too annoyed or anything if I read my favorite characters being written OOC, I don't blame anyone for not getting too familiar with a character and it shouldn't necessary stop you from trying to portray them still. What would I describe as OOC... the usual, also I'm particularly sensitive about changing a character's canon beliefs and motivation to do the things they're doing... I can't think of anything else right now, and again, it's often about the writer's own way of interpreting a character 😊

30 - Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn’t.

Oh I have plenty of those. Way too many. I never let go of wips, I keep thinking that the time for them just hasn't come yet 😅 But yes I still have some fics that I've fully dropped.

One such fic is a Ikerev Levie x Ray story where Ray is not dating MC upon the events from his ttlg route - he ends up in the other side of the mirror, wounded, trapped with Levie for a month ...slowly developing feelings for the man he initially hated. Finding himself nurtured to health by him changes his opinion of Levie and that's just the beginning, gradually understanding each other, sometimes arguing, sometimes finding solace in each other among the loneliness that is the land of the mirror. I dropped it because A. i'm not good with containing my motivation on multichapter stories B. I.... just think that it's too self-indulgent 😅 has anyone even considered Rayvie as a ship?

> ASK GAME

[ answered: 8, 15, 39 🌸 7, 23, 28 🌸 3, 4, 10, 15, 19] pls feel free to ask me again if you’ve already done so but are curious about more of those. and you’re never too late for this ok!!!

masculaxi character analysis/appreciation

it's been over a year since gala masculaxi's release and i'm still not over it

(heavy dragalia lost spoilers ahead)

(gala mascula does not exist btw) i just love how mascula and laxi are designed as two parts of a whole, basically one half of the same ideal/same person. you can't have one without the other. if you heavily favor one over the other i dont trust you... only half joking. when laxi went berserk and mascula had to save her by giving her his heart in their debut ch11, that was just... such a moment... it shows them at their most "separate" (laxi in berserk/annihilation mode, and mascula stopping at nothing to disengage combat.) which sets us up for their development as two hearts in one body. in masculaxi (flame blade)'s story, they're still at odds but they begin to learn to cooperate in the same body, and this is the beginning of their "convergence." in ch14 of the main story is when we see the beginnings of eden mode. when all the androids sacrifice themselves for euden and co to advance, mascula realizes it his empathetic heart that influenced them and led them to their painful deaths. he then shuts down his ego circuit out of guilt. when the team is in a tight spot, and only masculaxi can save the day (since their body is unaffected due to the miasma only affecting organic lifeforms,) laxi goes into their heart to search for mascula and plead him to help her. all this time, laxi had envied mascula's heart for being "more human," but realized that maestro had written the fear of death in all of the android's hearts, and as such, laxi understood the weight of their yearning for peace, with the act of their self-sacrifice for euden. (later we do learn with gala masculaxi that mascula had been influencing laxi more. here we see laxi's influence on mascula to urge him to fight.) laxi gets mascula out of the gay baby jail zone, releases her limiters, and activates annihilation mode hastily. mascula then guides her attacks to the correct targets, which is the first instance we see of mascula engaging in any sort of fighting. in this state of laxi's annihilation mode combined with mascula's guided assault, a new mode beyond annihilation mode becomes available to them: eden mode, when their hearts become one. this mode concentrates all the mana around them inside their body's mana kiln, and gives them even more power. mascula still dislikes fighting and does not want to do it as much, but has a newfound conviction and will not run away when he is needed. an interesting line here is mascula saying this: ▷It's as if he knew our hearts would one day become one. But how...?◁ indicating that from the start, they were truly two halves of a whole ideal. shortly after the release of ch14, we get the release of the flame dagger gala masculaxi unit, which contains eden mode in their gameplay, and expands upon the "two hearts acting as one" deal they have going on. laxi, mascula, and luca head to the ruins of maestro's lab in order to gain more clues on how eden mode works. laxi equips a new armament meant to accommodate eden mode (and demands praise of how good she looks, lol. also laxi is much more snarky in this story which is a treat. she's so funny. but also this shows mascula's emotional influence on her!!!!!) laxi learns of how eden mode works, and essentially it's a release of all limiters and rerouting all circuits to their internal mana kiln, but elimination protocol is activated automatically as well which does not make any distinction between friend and foe. it enhances laxi's combat ability, but mascula has to take care of elimination protocol since he has access and control of it. hence, in eden mode, laxi goes all out in attacking, while mascula controls the body's movements and targets. however this is only possible if their hearts act as one. the two are attacked by dyrenell forces and activate eden mode against them, but mascula temporarily loses the will to fight in the middle of the battle, destabilizing and deactivating eden mode. luca is captured and a villager shields them from an oncoming attack, believing in mascula's peaceful ideals. laxi engages tactical retreat and they escape. they engage in a plan to save luca but are attacked by imperials again. they try to go into eden mode but mascula once again disengages eden mode. mascula tells laxi of his regrets and frustrations that he keeps holding her back, but laxi tells him that she found herself synchronizing with him. with the villager (that mascula had saved before and in turn protected masculaxi earlier,) laxi found the value in mercy for enemies. by having laxi bend towards mascula's will, they're able to take on the imperials who chased after them with a truly synchronized eden mode. ▷Laxi, give me the strength to fight!◁ Granted. Now give me the kindness required to temper my actions. ▷Heh. Take all you need!◁ their system strain falls, and they're able to defeat the imperials. laxi, mascula, luca, and euden talk together after all is done. laxi takes interest in a cat, while mascula teaches her how to interact with it. Euden: Laxi and Mascula say the maestro who made them was a peace-loving man, but... Luca: No, I getcha. Why would some peacenik give something THIS much power? ch14 and their gala story really shows how the two embodied different sides of the same ideal -- "fighting for peace," and how they begin to converge upon that ideal. initially laxi only focused on "fighting" and mascula only focused on "peace," but A compassionate heart. ▷The courage to fight.◁ -Eden Mode, activate!- their character development after this is a bit wonky at times because it sets up for gala mascula who is really poorly written and doesn't necessarily align with the ideals established within ch14 and gala masculaxi, or even the development directly before it either. with ageless artifice and ch18 (when the team first enters the faerie kingdom and gets lost,) we get teasers of mascula with his own body. in ageless artifice, eirene steals mascula's body and intends to use it against masculaxi, but mascula takes control of his body and proclaims that his body isn't necessarily him, but what IS him is his resolve to fight for peace alongside his friends. (stays in line with gala masculaxi, right?) in ch18 we also see mascula having a "nightmare/illusion" in which he gains his body back but at the cost of laxi going berserk once more, showing that they truly cannot function at their "fullest ideal" without each other in the same body. laxi asks mascula if he wants his own body back, and mascula says he sometimes misses it but overall he wants to continue fighting with her the way they are. this is echoed in ch19, take this exchange for example: Mascula, I know you were thinking of your own body while lost in the mountain's illusions. You gave up your body to save me, and I owe you an apology for that. ▷Don't apologize—I wanted to do it. Plus, being with you makes me happy.◁ I want to see a peaceful world just as we are in this body now—together. ▷I feel the exact same way.◁ ▷No more hesitation. You and I are going to fight with Maestro as a team.◁ And together... ▷...we will bring peace.◁ reaffirming their ideals together and keeping in line with their development, right? mascula doesn't WANT his own body back. he wants to keep fighting with laxi, that's THE WHOLE POINT OF THEIR CHARACTERS. which does not make sense when we get the remote control BS IN THE SAME CHAPTER??? (teased from the ending of ageless artifice with chelle) and mascula has his own body again as a remote control system. now the portrayal in the main story wasn't AS bad but... the real problem comes to gala mascula as an adventurer with his stories and voice lines. this "mascula" proclaims of how much he loves/misses his body and how he "doesn't need laxi dragging him around anymore." like sure he sometimes feels being in laxi's body with her is bothersome but overall, at his heart, he wouldn't really say something like that??? mascula your voice lines are so contradictory to what just happened in the main story and what you said in ageless artifice what happened!!!!!!! his adventurer story lacks the cooperative laxi-mascula dynamic we knew and loved, and instead pushes mascula front and center to try to push him to do things himself. we didn't really need mascula getting his own body back anyways, but you COULD'VE AT LEAST written it so that they have more emphasis on cooperation with each other?? god im sorry i just. AUGH he's so OBVIOUSLY hastily pushed into their development arc and he loses his characterization. it's obvious gala mascula wasn't intended to be a thing in the initial plan for masculaxi... i am not forgiving every single one of you who sent in feedback for playable mascula. once again only half joking... maybe only a quarter joking. 1/8ths joking. radioactive decay graph joking. (also just a tiny nitpick: you can apparently run gala mascula and laxi/gala laxi on the same team. lore compliancy who? eden mode can't be activated while the remote control unit is active. but whatever) though another interesting plot point is brought up in his story though? maestro's origins, the writing of "seek peace" on mascula and laxi's bodies being in a language that only the sky city ark people would know.. with such an elaborate plan for such a complex android duo, and everything else mysterious about this man, just who is he? his master plan of masculaxi was really amazing to see come to fruition... maestro fought on the side of dyrenell, against dragons -- against elysium you could say. although ex machina seeks the destruction of terrestrial life because they "allied with the dragons" (a misconception,) on the contrary maybe maestro aimed to create an ultimate weapon for terrestrials to defend themselves against the dragons. however this weapon had to also understand the value of what it was fighting for -- learning for itself how to go about "fighting for peace." thus, the creation of the twins mascula and laxi; two halves of a whole. by having a compassionate and adaptable heart, they can change with the times, understand the people around them, and decide on their own what the best course of action is in various situations. i love love LOVE masculaxi and how they're written!! (for the most part.) two of my faves in the game and i love them and their characterization so much, i just wish more people could see the intricacies of their relationship and how they're literally like. 1/2 of the same thing. it's such a beautifully written dynamic and development, and i want others to appreciate it too.

a little bonus, in this character art, you can see the "star tetrahedron" shapes. in sacred geometry symbolism, the "star tetrahedron" is the sixth shape enclosed within "metatron's cube." these shapes, and this cube, are said to maintain the balance of the world itself and its flows/processes. as for the "star tetrahedron" itself, it represents duality: physical body and spiritual self; male and female; and heaven and earth. this ties into mascula and laxi's characters: mascula controlling the "mind" in eden mode while laxi focuses on the attacking "body;" and mascula and laxi being of different genders. as for "heaven" and "earth," this could represent maestro coming from the sky city ark, and masculaxi being technology intended to aid humans. alternatively for "heaven" and "earth," the fact that the star tetrahedron is enclosed within "metatron's cube" may be a pointer to metatron in-universe. the archangels all have white hair, a trait shared by masculaxi. additionally, sandalphon is somewhat mechanical/technological herself. masculaxi being man-made (of the earth,) versus their potential connection to the angels (of the heavens.)

Hey so I saw that you commented under the post where I asked the-crow for a bit of advice and you also offered you help which I am so grateful for! I've lately fallen a bit out of practice due to college and Covid stress but I really want to get back going and establish a connection with Apollo, but I just don't know how to after basically not reaching out for months `:) would you have any ideas? sorry to bother you with the rant, I just really want to do this right... Thank You so Much <3

Hi there! It's no problem at all, I'm always open to questions!

Regarding the feeling of distance, we've all been there at some point, I think. There will be periods in our lives when things get hectic and we feel distant from the gods. I personally don't think they are ever distant, as the gods manifest in this world in many ways, but the feeling can definitely be there and it's a valid thing to experience.

So, about your question: how to approach Apollo again after months. My first impulse is to tell you not to overcomplicate things. The gods are eternal, and they understand our humanity perhaps even better than we ourselves do. I feel like sometimes we are so worried we are not doing everything perfectly that this alone keeps us from contacting the gods. In the end, do your best, or the best you can do at that particular time, but do it.

Just so things aren't all so abstract, here are some ideas: light a candle and call to him (I won't give recon instructions as I'm not sure this is your approach). You can read a hymn, or you can write something from your own heart and hand. Think about what you want to say. Be honest to yourself and to him. Think about why you want to contact him. As to offerings, traditional ones like water, olive oil, honey, bay leaves, music, poetry, singing and art in general are good options.

Next, I would say: ask yourself, where do you feel Apollo in your life? Start from there. Maybe you listen to music everyday and that has therapeutic value. Perhaps it's in taking all biosafety precautions against diseases. Perhaps it's in learning or teaching someone about something you love. Perhaps it's in how you can se mathematics and harmony in literally everything in the observable universe. Perhaps it's in the chill up your spine when you read a particularly beautiful piece of literature. Perhaps it's that unexpected alliteration or rhyme that brings tears to your eyes when you read poetry. Perhaps it's none of those things, but rather in learning and practising divination. Apollo has many domains, and many of them are often overlooked or oversimplified. Read about his epithets and domains, and don't be afraid to explore one or more in particular if you feel a particular call.

If you need any help with this, feel free to send another ask or DM me. All you need to do is ask and I'll rant about Apollo and his family.

That being said, I wish you all the best in your future contacts with the gods and that you may find your path!

Eirene!

Let me just say that you have some of most wonderful, nuanced analyses for dmbj that I've seen yet, and reading the tags on all your posts are delightful. Going through your dmbj tag has been a wonderful time this morning!

1. love that sora is your avatar i just noticed <3

2. i’m glad you’re enjoying my dmbj tag! <3 <3 <3 i write a lot of random thoughts and it always feels like they’re just getting lost in the void lol ToT I also have some stuff in each drama specific tag, mostly the lost tomb lb, the lost tomb 2 lb, tlt3 lb, and the show-title-only tags (tho its more wonderful gifsets and photos by others, less commentary). i tend to only put stuff in my dmbj tag that applies to multiple dmbj things ToT

and i am always down for dmbj discussion if u ever feel like it! i love digging into the very fun bottomless pit that is dmbj. (some other blogs that i think have some great commentary on dmbj: @thosch3i, @unexpected-nightview, @jockvillagersonly, @elletromil, @canary3d-obsessed, @eirenical, @yue-muffin)

3 completely unrelated, but if i had to rec a romance xianxia it would be love and redemption, which i’ve got a lot on as well (love and redemption tag, love and redemption lb tag) The plot was very well done, and a lot of stuff flips on its head in the nicest way, and i think maybe it gets overlooked sometimes? because it starts off very ‘similar’ to other shows in its genre in presentation (eternal love, ashes of love) before revealing it doesn’t intend to do very much the same at all (without spoiling - the protagonist means so much to me in LaR especially the way their arc unfolds, LaR gave me the first romance xianxia with a kind take on demons including major hero roles, and the villain was so satisfying after other shows of this genre never penalizing/painting as evil characters who’ve acted similarly). Also its got Crystal Yuan, Cheng Yi, and Liu Xue Yi as leads... some of my favorite actors. Very ‘the untamed’ vibes in what it has to say about righteousness, justice, mob mentality, absolute power. Only worth checking out if u feel up for it. a bi leading love interest, a protagonist who breaks a lot of conventions but i cant really mention without spoiling, demons who get to do more than fulfil ‘evil stand in’ roles and angst in heaping amounts. It starts with all the nice romance tropes in the most enjoyable least annoying way for me personally, then segways into heavier stuff, then by the last several eps it just blew any remaining expectations I had out of the water in a good way. My favorite story in its ‘genre’ and the only one I’d rewatch.

#@miaxaim #replies #dmbj #totally feel free to ignore the love and redemption plug lol #unless that is a story ur interested in anyway #i just know i wrote HELLA meta for that show #it fucking blew me out of the water.#i did not expect a multi gender main protagonist who id relate to. who'd get a happy ending.#with a journey about healing and growth. and as a heroine get to FIGHT HER FIGHTS which does not #happen enough for my taste in romance xianxia. and cheng yi as the most loving bi man in the fucking world #and a whole host of characters who start off presented 'as if' its gonna follow the genre norms #then end up being nothing at all within that simple box i'd assumed they'd go in #like. if u have ever seen eternal love the sheer Difference between how demons are handled in EL versus LaR is enough reason alone to #check out LaR. let alone how much i wish bai qian had been allowed to fight her own fights in the finale...#or have tropes in a less disrespecting of her consent/choice/knowledge way #whereas in LaR consents a huge theme. so the good guys dont ignore it or else #they learn major fucking lessons and its painted correctly as wrong #as for dmbj??? PLEASE i am down for conversation or rants from u or anyone anytime on it #i love dmbj #i love this hot mess show where anything might happen #this series of books ToT i love the characters i am up for IT #also i havent seen all the shows so im up to hear more about ones i havent seen yet #like mystic nine and tomb of the sea

Fic Writer Interview Game

Tagged by @jockvillagersonly - thank you! I’m delighted by all these frogs! 💖

✨🐸🌱🐸🌱🐸✨

🐸👉 name: Elenothar

🐸👉 fandoms: that I’m currently writing in - Guardian and DMBJ, and I always dabble in Tolkien

🐸👉 two shots? my first reaction was no, then I checked AO3 and ... it’s still a no. I’ve got oneshots that could be divided into two chapters, but I tend to just bung it all in at once.

🐸👉 most popular multi-chapter fic: without a doubt, and probably forever, lay down your sweet and weary head. The Hobbit fandom was very good to me.

🐸👉 actual worst part of writing: bridging scenes. I gave up on writing things sequentially a long time ago, and now I end up with all these scenes I actually wanted to write that I somehow have to make into a coherent whole. Terrible.

🐸👉 how you choose your titles: the usual process goes something like this: oh no, I still need a title. Ask friends if anyone has any ideas. Sometimes I’m lucky and they do. If I’m not, I stare at the doc in increasing panic for a few hours and finally slap something terrible on the fic just so I can get it posted. Poetry sometimes helps.

🐸👉 do you outline? for oneshots, no. For longer things I... try. But honestly, the plot always goes off the rails halfway through anyway, so detailed outlining has never worked all that well for me. I’ll usually manage to put down the big story beats though.

🐸👉 ideas you probably won’t get around to, but wouldn’t it be nice? all of those long multi-chapter (or even multi-part) fics that I think about and then decide would be too much effort? Idk, I’d like to write some sprawling AU series in the Guardian fandom, but it’s not all that likely to happen. I don’t have any specific plot bunnies I’m despairing over never writing at the moment though.

🐸👉 callouts @ me: learn how to write short things! Also, endings.

🐸👉 best writing traits: definitely the hardest question on here, I find it very hard to categorise my own writing. Where fanfic is concerned, I think I do pretty well with getting into characters’ heads and keeping them in character, but the readers’ mileage on that probably varies.

🐸👉 spicy tangential opinion: I don’t even know what a spicy opinion is 😅 maybe that I really need people to format their fics in a way that makes them readable? Paragraph breaks and spacing are your friend.

✨🐸🌱🐸🌱🐸✨

That post you just reblogged about being able to identify voice actors even when they’re in different roles made me think about how even though I don’t pay attention to who is reblogging the stuff on my dash, I can always tell the things you put there by the tags you leave. Sometimes I’m like, oh hey, that’s Eirenical :), and other times I’m like hmm I think this is Eirenical, and then I go back and check and it is and it always makes me happy to see it’s you <3

Awwwwwwww. OMG, nonny. :D :D :D You have no idea how much that made me happy-blush just now. XD

You know that post that makes the rounds occasionally about how unexpected yet amazing it is when you find out that people in your life are thinking of you? Like... THAT. ^_^ (Also, as silly as it may seem, I’m also all *chinhands happykickyfeet* that my tag writing style is that identifiable. XD As a writer, that makes me VERY happy to hear. ^__________^)

Seriously, nonny, thank you so much for this message! You made my whole night! ^__________^

#people saying nice things #SERIOUSLY I'M STILL HAPPY-BLUSHING #XD #anonymous #conversations through replies

Got tagged by @grapefruitsketches Thank you! :D

My AO3 is FixaIdea

Fandoms

I’m currently mostly writing for Tian Guan Ci Fu and Mo Dao Zu Shi, but I also have a lot of fic for Maurice and Les Misérables, and a scattered handful of Star Wars and Discworld ones.

Where You Post

Anything resembling a structured story, short or not, goes on AO3, random ramblings, ideas and headcanons on Tumblr.
