Fucked up even more than I thought I would. The weed person wasn't rechable today (neither by knocking at her door twice a day nor by calling her) so I ended up compromising by drinking enough beer and wine to make me feel like throwing up. So much about sobriety. While spending time with my roommate I thought, "Well, this'll end in the ER again." Not today, but in the long run. Because I've reached the point in addiction where one drop of beer ends with me drinking for days and days, while using other substances, until I'm so physically addicted that going cold turkey is dangerous 🙃

#personal posts #tw addiction #tw relapse #god put a curse on me and it's that men twice my age fall in love with me & want to fuck me #no further words needed #good night #(still tipsy and I'll have to write a poem about this evening because otherwise lmao rip) #(I'm making fun of it but it's actually devastating #just know that I'm fully aware I keep ruining things) #did I build this ship to wreck (as florence welsh would put it)? #yes. #always. #but still no need to worry #I'll be fine #i I always work things out #and am okay in the end #I'm a cockroach #even death can't kill me yooooo #tw alcohol #tw drinking #tw emetophobia #I was seven weeks sober ⚰✝️

Dubois' bibliography: Fairy books (1)

I talked a LOT before of Pierre Dubois, his famous "Fairy/Elf/Lutin Encyclopedias", his collections of fairytales, and so forth and so on. And yes we have to agree that he has a very free, inventive, poetic style when it comes to retelling the various myths and legends surrounding the fair folk and other supernatural beings. As such, while his books are very entertaining and very beautiful, they are not to be used as a serious research material and can be quite misleading between Dubois' personal inventions, crafted genealogies and fictional history of "Elfland"...

BUT the wonderful and very pleasant thing with Dubois is that at the end of each of his Encylopedias he leaves us with a complete bibliography of all the books he used when writing them. I have rarely stumbled upon such complete bibliographies about the "fair folk", "good neighbor", petit peuple" and so forth, and while it goes a bit beyond what this blog is about (fairy tales proper), I still thought of sharing some of it here because my Dubois posts were all here.

Now, I can't share the entirety of the bibliography because it would be too big. However what I will share is all the books Dubois placed in his bibliography... in English. Indeed, Dubois reads the English and as such a good chunk of his bibliography is English-speaking (there are also some Spanish, Italian and German books in his lists). As such, if you are an English speaker you can easily go check these texts. (Note, this comes from his bibliography of his "Encyclopedia of Fairies", so that we stay within the "fairy tale" theme of this blog)

so you mean to tell me that when florence welsh wrote “we argue in the kitchen about whether to have children about the world ending and the scale of my ambition and how much is art really worth the very thing you’re best at is the thing that hurts the most” she wasn’t eavesdropping on my life because the other explanation is that she’s really is a god

#there are songs that fit your life and then there’s this song wth

[theleafwarden]

God I love Florence Welsh 😭😭😭

could you share more about sysba's language? owo

YES I ABSOLUTELY CAN. I’m a little bit proud of myself for this (slowly crafted) language, so I’m definitely happy to share it with you!!!

So Sysba’s language is called ‘Ioctaxari’; Lovecraftian lore—which the whole eldritch concept is based off of—has a language, but there are no firmly established guidelines for it so I said fuck it, I’ll do my own. Ioctaxari takes from Welsh Gaelic and older Germanic languages in order to make the terms that are often used.

In terms of naming, Elder Gods often own a name of their own choosing and a “true” name, such as the case with Sysba (going by Sysba, Moloch, etc) and their “true” name of ‘Ymnar. True names are often tied in with the Elder God’s abilities, origin, etc. Elder Gods do not possess surnames or 'parental ties', but in the case of Sysba, they jokingly took the second half of their Fathers name (Korath) and applied that as their surname. This is not correct in terms of the structure of the Ioctaxari language—but Sysba doesn’t follow any rules anyway, so are we surprised?

One thing that should be noted regarding Ioctaxari is that concepts of time are non-existent. Therefore, numbers used by this language are ones used exclusively by Sysba, Florence, and Abraxas, created after the exile of Sysba and the departure of Florence and Abraxas. This applies to days of the week and months as well. For Elder Gods, since time doesn’t exist, there’s no need to track it—but for Sysba, Florence, and Abraxas, staying on earth has made them adapt these habits so that, in the few cases they communicate to one another in Ioctaxari, the flow of conversation still works.

Here’s an example of the numbers taken from Ioctaxari:

0—Oen | 1—El | 2—Ta | 3—Den | 4—Fi | 5—Pen | 6—Zech | 7—Rhk | 8—Zhr | 9—Nach | 10—Xi | 11—Ihe | 12—Yath | 13—Xiden | 14—Xifi | 15—Xipen | 16—Xizech | 17—Xirhk | 18—Xizhr | 19—Xinach | 20—Ta-en | 21—Ta-en el | 22—Ta-en ta…| 30—Den-en | 40—Fi-en | 50—Pen-en | 60—Zech-en | 70—Rhk-en | 80—Zhr-en | 90—Nach-en | 100—Xi-thera | 200—Ta-xi-thera | 201—Ta-xi-thera el | 300—Den-xi-thera… etc.

And the Alphabet:

Aa—Ah | Bb—Bah | Cc—Cèh | Chch—Cah | Dd—Di | DdDd— Edd | Ee—Eh |Ff—Ef | Gg—Eg (Gh produces a J sound) | Hh—Aest |Ii—Iy | IhIh—I’ch | Kk—Kah | Ll—Ell | LlLl—Eh | Mm—Em | Nn—En | Ngng—Eng | Oo—Ohr | Pp—Pah | Rr—Aehr | Rhrh—Rhi | Ss—Es | Tt—Ti | Thth—Etha | Uu—Uhr | Vv—Vah | Ww—V | Xx—Ek | Xixi—Ziy | Yy—Zay | Zz—Zeh | Zhzh—Shah

I also have days of the week, months, and seasons:

Days of the week

Sunday—Sol Ddhar | Monday—Luhn Ddhar | Tuesday—Toth Ddhar | Wednesday—Ngyr Ddhar | Thursday—Cihl Ddhar |Friday—Gauth Ddhar | Saturday—Som Ddhar

Months

January—Cri-ehr | February—Llyanehr |March—Gwehndd |April—Glatil | May—Stelnuhr |June—Uhlan | July—Ghaih | August—Rhan | September—Medrendel |October—Bliefendel | November—Sahmendel | December—Noxendel

Seasons

Spring—Glahnys |Summer—Buhys |Winter—Crihys |Fall—Rhaxhys

Note: endings are altered if things go from singular to plural. For example, Brenfih (A loaf of bread) can become Brenfihre (Loaves of bread). Sol Ddhar (Sunday) becomes Sol Ddhara (Sundays).

Here’s a basic sentence:

Mira enew yn Ames. Ihr llyah crihys, ihr hazhal buhys.

My name is Ames. I love winter, I hate summer.

Obviously it’s still a work in progress in regards to grammar rules and other such things, but I’m enjoying picking away at it!!! Thank you for asking!

BCU Masterlist

Just kinda realized it semi needs one so before it gets too out of hand and I’m spending hours on it like when I made the original TLC one (which i swear I’ll update someday)

BCU Masterlist:

Tag for entire AU (asks, art, fics) is BCU AU

Basic precis: the BCU is a MCU based AU surrounding Arulius Thatcher and his adoptive daughter Kaya Solaria and the changes of their world (aliens, His girlfriend is a Super Soldier, he has a god in his office, and more)

Does not follow the MCU Timeline as an FYI. Some Movies will be ignored due to characters being different personality wise (Loki and Thor are good bros and the first thor movie doesn’t exist in BCU the second KINDA does. Timmy don’t touch weird rocks damnit child) other movies are merged or reordered.

Enjoy and I hope this is at least a lil coherent!!! I’m half awake rn so who knows

Will have an actual proper fic, it will be organized into various segments (First is called “Rise of the King” and dictates how Kaya became spiderking and how she wound up in that alley the day she met Arulius. Second part is Heart of Iron. Which if you can’t guess is more about Arulius and his new struggles of being the father of a super hero and then getting injured and becoming a hero himself. Third is Song of the Past which will be primarily a flashback fic but will tell the story of Nightingale the super soldier who vanished in the 1920s. after that we’ll see were we go)

Also big shout out to @/doodleimprovement, @/gingersanps, @/thepotatogremlin, and @/gamermousedraws for listening to me go off on this au for the past week
