Hagging Out March: coming out of fallow time

Recently I've been going through a bit of a fallow time spiritually. I've been extremely busy in my day job, with multiple demanding projects as well as going through a promotion process, and it had me approaching burnout and feeling unable to spend time on my personal and religious life or get into that spiritual headspace.

In my personal practice, I see the Vernal Equinox as a holy tide focused on Hrēðe, an Old English Goddess I venerate as Goddess of victory, of sacrifice, and of right relationship, and Tīw, God of justice, democracy, and integrity as well as war. At this time, Tīw leads the Gods to defeat the Ettins, representing the destructive power of the natural world, with Hrēðe sanctifying the victory. This mirrors the defeat of winter as the daylight hours overtake the night.

With the days growing longer and warmer, flowers blooming and trees budding, spring is definitely here in London. I've been feeling the pull and the yearning to get back to my regular practice, my heart opening up like the cherry blossoms and magnolia trees on my road.

I made offerings of salt and sesame seeds to Hrēðe and Tīw, representing the price of sacrifice and the sweetness of victory. I asked Them for strength and stamina as I worked through hard times, that my struggles would pay off and be successful. When I got news that I had passed promotion, I shared a glass of my best pink gin with Them and my Beloved Ancestors.

The transition to a new season is also an opportune time for divination. One form of divination I use is bibliomancy, opening Feather, Leaf, Bark & Stone by Jackie Morris to a random poem for insight and inspiration.

This poem seemed beautifully apt, speaking of dawn and renewal -- of joy and hope and love carrying us forward like birdsong carries the new day.

[Thanks to @graveyarddirt for running the monthly Hagging Out!]

In case you missed the earlier announcement… to keep the gremlins fed during the wait for Holy Terrors, I will be releasing The Fallow Year, a series of ten short stories that take place in the months between the end of Painted Devils and the beginning of Holy Terrors. They will alternate between Vanja and Emeric’s POVs as they spend some time… working on themselves. 🥲 I will be releasing one for every 100 preorders of Holy Terrors at independent bookstores, or 200 preorders of HT total, whichever comes first.

Each story will be published on AO3, because why not! I finished writing them back in March—so they’re ready to go when you are 😘

International and special edition orders will count as long as the campaign’s still running; don’t stress if the version you want isn’t available yet, because we’ll need your preorder for later stories!

The google form to submit your preorder receipt will go live on Small Business Saturday, November 25. If you have any further questions, please check the FAQ video/comments there before asking here!

#not the last time you'll see these covers #any excuse to draw the kiddos looking sad and windswept #little thieves #the fallow year

Bill Hargrove being incredibly smart and intelligent is my most intense HC I will die for.

His entire existence is pure survival. You don’t survive very long if you’re not sharp enough to read your abuser, full stop. He’s also a poor kid and a scrappy mother fucker. He knows how to evaluate a situation. He knows how to roll with the punches and base his next move on the last. He’s quick on his feet and it translates to book smarts. He’s great at problem solving, which translates to a strong head for math and engineering, and well as a decent understanding of government and civics. That only leaves english/lit and his creativity saves his ass in that.

Of corse he’s creative, I honestly headcanon Billy as an artist as well. He’s mouthy. He talks MAD shit and that honestly takes a certain level of creativity and competence to come up with insults on the fly.

But also, the HC side. His only goal and priority in life is the immediate but a big part of that is wanting to get the fuck out and away from his father, and he knows the fastest, only honestly with his economic station, way to do that is college. He needs to not only have the grades to get in but he need a scholarship. He needs funding. He’s not getting a dime from Neil and he can’t get a loan without that asshole cosigning either, which is not happening. And he knows the best way to get the fuck out of hawkins and the fuck back west is getting into a UC. So he’s a lifeguard, and he’s on the basketball team, and the baseball team, because it makes his resume and his application look real good. He won’t get into fights at school because he is not letting a disciplinary record hold him back. He writes a sob story essay for his scholarships and applications about his mom leaving and his abusive neglectful alcoholic father and his little sister he takes care of. Becuase god willing he touches the right rich old ladies heart and he can get enough cash of off campus housing and take max the fuck with him because fuck does he not like the idea of leaving her alone with that fucker. He’s got a plan.

And he’s got the charm and scharism that

He doesn’t own much besides what he can fit in the trunk of (the old beater HE bought and fixed up so Neil can’t hold over him) his car and disappear in the middle of the night to avoid the fight.

He’s already got a PO Box set up in town so Neil doesn’t get the college mailers or acceptances.

I’m just so intense abt this HC.

little silly thoughts

I love how the fandom calls the group of links "The Chain" I don't know if it has intergraded into the comic or not. However If it was it would have to be a dad joke 100%. Just .. just humor me for a sec.

Time: What would you call a group of Links?

Wars: A squad!

Time: No, a chain!

The Chain: Ugghhhhh.

#lu chain #lu memes #dad jokes #time is so proud of himself #the groan that fallows every dad joke #lu time #lu warriors #lu twilight #lu hyrule #lu sky #lu wild #lu wind #lu legend #lu four

my fun resolutions for the year will be to memorize a (small, manageable) number of my favorite poems & learn more ways to braid my hair. I might even venture to try and write more often again, but I won't structure that time for fear of killing the desire stone dead.

#i haven't written poetry since a singular haiku i composed on a walk in uhhhh march? yikes. #this year has been more about gathering things in than producing them. my field of creating things was lying fallow. #poked it with a stick a few times to see if it was still alive but for the most part i just let it sit there #¶

I think I'm gonna be in a conflict with the whole fandom rn , because we and the reboot are like this :

I see so many content creators just not giving it any chances , criticizing it for the smallest ditales and some even deciding that they hate the plot just by few snippets of story we got

Guys it's just a baby guys , give it some time

#we are so quick to hype up anything fanmade which doesn't fallow canon in the slightest #but the moment tgey try to do the same officially #nope #death #we want disney to do something with this amazing franchise #but also please don't change anything and just re release what we already have till the end of time #thank you #sorry but you sound like children #w.i.t.c.h #w.i.t.c.h. #w.i.t.c.h reboot

Deercember Day One: European Fallow Deer | Roses and Posies

The European fallow deer (Dama dama), also known as the common fallow or simply fallow, is historically native to Turkey and potentially the Italian Peninsula, Balkan Peninsula, and the island of Rhodes. Prehistorically, the species was native to a wider range of Europe, and has since been reintroduced, as well as introduced to many non-native regions. Prior to the rut, stags strengthen their neck and shoulder muscles—as well as leave communicative markings—by rubbing their antlers against trees, foliage, and even the ground, sometimes coming away with "crowns". European fallow deer are widely agreed to be the closest living relative of Megaloceros giganteus, or the "Irish elk". More information here.

“man remember when i wrote stuff?” i say, currently going through some of the most unpleasant years of my life (so far) and dealing with additional chronic illness on top of the existing chronic illness that would probably sap anyone’s creativity

#vomiting up the guilt onto the sidewalk and poking at it for a bit #being fallow for a bit is okay. we must survive in order to write things later #i realize that’s a worrying tag but im simply. having a bad financial time #moving? expensive. car repairs directly before and after moving? expensive. philip? expensive. unemployment? expensive. #you would think i would have more time to write with being unemployed but applying to jobs and making little portfolios is a full time job

Eh, I guess you aren't too wrong with leaders and those who follow. But you must know it's not a rule. It's not a static law. Nature is wild. It follows no pattern.

You have mutuals right? Friends you met, that demand nothing from you and you don't demand anything from them. You just spend time together. No one commands the other. You hang out with James at your book club. You seem like good buddies with Chimer. And so on.

Do you think they have someone who "leads" them? The lead themselves if anything. Their own dreams, wishes and intent. You can do so to.

Misc.

You don't need a master. You are your own. Always. Always have been. You hold your own fate.

#(its scary when you suddenly became independent) #(moving out of the house can be over welming compare the easy life as a child) #(thats how misc feel with out a master to fallow) #(or at least been ingrained in them) #(even though they been self independent this whole time just fine. >.>) #(everyone around misc is stronger than them automatically! thats how they see it. >w>) #(no ifs or butts!) #(no master? Wow! you're so stronge! :D ) #misc the enchanter #the enchanted mistake #minecraft oc #minecraft ask blog #anonymous #james the enderman #chimerical waters #(misc gives nicknames) #(yep) #(jame the endermans nick name is Wi #(jame the endermans nicknames is White-Wise :3c) #(cuase he's an elbinbo and smart)
