“When I think about my life and the lives of my ancestors I am inevitably led to the conviction that I, and they, belong to the American land. This is a declaration of belonging. And it is an offering to the earth.”

N. Scott Momaday, you will be missed. 1934-2024

“You see, I am alive, I am alive I stand in good relation to the earth I stand in good relation to the gods I stand in good relation to all that is beautiful I stand in good relation to the daughter of Tsen-tainte You see, I am alive, I am alive” ― N.

“There was a time when “man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent,” this New World, “commensurate to his capacity for wonder.” I would strive with all my strength to give that sense of wonder to those who will come after me.” ― N. Scott Momaday, Earth Keeper: Reflections on the American Land

I scamper in so politely

Death's keepers, are Sun, Moon and Earth apart of this au? If so what kinda role do they play? ^^

Ye, they’re apart of this au!

Sun (Day), Moon (Twilight), and Earth (Sweet) are still daycare attendants—Sun and Moon do their usual jobs and Earth helps out, especially with the special needs kids since she’s better programmed for that—and the timeline takes place sometime around when Earth was still new to the pizzaplex, so death’s keepers Moon is still technically old Moon though a little less of an asshole.

The main difference between these three and the others (Eclipse, Lunar, the twins, etc) is that they are not reapers, they’re just normal animatronics. The ones that are reapers usually have something to do with the Killcode in them (Moon is not included in this because of the fact he and KC have fully separated and that the “Killcode” is basically just the coding that determines that they are a “reaper” so it all originated with KC)

There’s still tension between them and Eclipse and the others but for different reasons since Eclipse wasn’t Moon’s creation and instead KC’s.

Moon isn’t a big fan of the reapers hanging around, especially because of what they do as a “job” and how powerful and potentially dangerous they can be, even with Eclipse’s reasoning and, Moon being Moon, he’s challenged Eclipse multiple times which has led to tension and a sort of rivalry between the two.

Sun is less…confrontational though she’s still wary and unsure of the reapers, especially the twins as they are quite unruly and aggressive and only really listen to Eclipse (she hates it when they roughhouse in the daycare and make a big mess though she does appreciate it when Eclipse helps clean up their mess, as secretive as he is about it lol)

Earth is the least wary of the three and she actually quite enjoys having the reapers around. She may not like everything they do, and the twins and Eclipse do unsettle her a bit, though she tries to make them feel welcome and has even apologized for Moon’s behavior several times, much to Eclipse’s confusion. She gets along the best with Lunar (who was also the first one to win over Sun and Moon) and he even sneaks in to help her with and entertain the kiddos when he can.

Today was the last DND session for a three-year campaign and I am big sad :(

One of the players brought whiskey for a last toast, which was very kind of them. I had never had whiskey before. Turns out I do not like whiskey. Unsurprising.

It tastes like slightly nicer hand sanitizer.

#blue chatter #it was a flavored whiskey as well #everyone else who had it said it was rly smooth and sweet #so I don’t think I super wanna know what regular whiskey tastes like #it was supposed to be like vanilla caramel flavored or smth #I was told it was like cream soda and that was a LIE it was like disinfectant #with a vanilla aftertaste #the campaign went rly rly well though #I’m seriously going to miss it #the final boss battle was just pure catharsis we absolutely whaled on that dark abberant goddess #she got Destroyed #an entire section of the continent restructured bc of the removal of her corruption #I rly like that my character got to be disabled at the tail end of this campaign #they wielded experimental magic that wasn’t supposed to work and resurrected someone who the Keeper very intentionally kept dead #it worked because they partially fused with Arawai the goddess of life and became her aspect on earth #but becoming partially divine in a mortal body takes a toll #they had more and more limited mobility and the more they cast magic to compensate the more of a toll it takes #functionally that meant my movement speed was reduced #and I lost more abilities after each combat as the consequences of overextending myself caught up to me #I wish I’d gotten to play this longer to see how this ended mechanically but it was a lot of fun to get a character who is both #very magically competent and still disabled and that still affects their ability and they still get the dignity of risk #to choose whether to continue casting or not knowing the consequences of doing so #it is very much a fantastical disability which I flavored heavily off of chronic fatigue and a mobility disorder #in-game their skin became hard and brassy around their joints which make them difficult and painful to bend #they lose a lot of sensation and fine motor control #thankfully they have a lot of money from their adventuring so they can commission an accessible house and mobility aids #and their friends help take care of them

🌎 Earth Keeper: Reflections on the American Land by N. Scott Momaday

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“In my truest being I am a keeper of the earth. I will tell the ancient stories and I will sing the holy songs. I belong to the land.”

In 2020 I was gifted this book by my parents (it was on my book gift list) and I read it in one sitting, being profoundly moved by Momaday’s words. In the wake of his passing, I return to Earth Keeper, meditating on what it means to be a keeper of the earth, meditating on who was on American land first, thinking on how to be respectful and a good steward of the land.

Momaday writes eloquently, lyrically. He writes about his own experiences with nature and people who have also been earth keepers, reflecting on how his ancestors held the land and what that means. In the first part of the book- The Dawn- he reminisces his spiritual journeys in his landscape and how important those journeys are. In the second part- The Dusk- we stop to look at ourselves and the importance of being reminded to be a keeper of the earth.

“We humans must revere the earth, for it is our well-being. Always the earth grants us what we need. If we treat the earth with kindness, it will treat us kindly. If we give our belief to the earth, it will believe in us. There is no better blessing than to be believed in.”

Earth and Moon from Beyond: What do the Earth and Moon look like from beyond the Moon? Although frequently photographed together, the familiar duo was captured with this unusual perspective in late 2022 by the robotic Orion spacecraft of NASA's Artemis I mission as it looped around Earth's most massive satellite and looked back toward its home world. Since our Earth is about four times the diameter of the Moon, the satellite’s seemingly large size was caused by the capsule being closer to the smaller body. Artemis II, the next launch in NASA’s Artemis series, is currently scheduled to take people around the Moon in 2025, while Artemis III is planned to return humans to lunar surface in late 2026. Last week, JAXA's robotic SLIM spacecraft, launched from Japan, landed on the Moon and released two hopping rovers. Image Credit: NASA, Artemis I; Processing: Andy Saunders

“When we dance the earth trembles. When our steps fall on the earth we feel the shudder of life beneath us, and the earth feels the beating of our hearts, and we become one with the earth. We shall not sever ourselves from the earth. We must chant our being, and we must dance in time with the rhythms of the earth. We must keep the earth.” ― N. Scott Momaday, Earth Keeper: Reflections on the American Land
