The first bonus chapter is up! I will post these in a separate work as to not disrupt the main story. Because I'm quite liking posting on Ao3 I'm not going to post this chapter on Tumblr, so read it on Ao3 if you want to read it. Please enjoy!

We know Jorvegians tell the tale of Galloper Thompson to warn and scare the kids to keep safe when it gets dark, least Galloper Thompson upon his fiery mare finds you and collects your soul for his own!

But what about the foals in Wild Woods? Do they fear Galloper Thompson or does their tale focus around Morrigan the ferrymare? Is she a sign to beware or of one to help you find your way when you’re lost?

Today I offer A Collection of ✨Pandorian Headcanons✨I Have Living In My Brain. Tomorrow? Who knows

*note* I cannot take credit for all of these headcanons!!! Some of them I have just picked up through my many scrollings of tumblr over the years and I literally can’t remember where they originated from / their original creators as some are just well accepted or super old. So if people know their ops please let me know!!

Pandorians have their own forms. My favourite headcanon is when people design Pandoria OCs as Humanoid Entities like it’s just finger licking good. I’ll have a healthy helping of that ty. I want tiefling style, firbolg, Avatar, animalistic ocs pls. I want different races of Pandorian with different cultures and aesthetics and attributes. I also like to think pandorians are Tall. Maybe that’s just me.

Pandoria and Jorvik are inexplicably linked through their realities sitting on top of eachother. And when levels of high energy (like LeyLines) are sitting vertically parallel it mixes their energy flows. People who can harness this mixing of energy can then use it to create rips between the realities (gates/portals/cracks etc). I have stranger things brain rot so I’m kinda going off those vibes. Jorvik sits on a huge ass LeyLine where there is high levels of parallel energy so it’s a melting pop of the two dimensions.

Pandorians can get “Jorvegian sickness” just like how Jorvegians can get “Pandorian sickness”. It’s basically just their bodies reacting to not being in their correct reality for prolonged amounts of time, and not being able to adjust to the different energies of said dimensions. Kinda like radiation poisoning. I read an article posted here like… a year or two about the ACTUAL science behind this and it’s super fascinating!! Ydris (and other Pandorians such as my oc Wren) can exist in our realm by creating bubbles of Pandoric energy around themselves to protect from this illness. Wren uses an infused Pandoric crystal earring as her portable container for this energy so she can constantly walk around with Pandoric energy around her. Her caravan and the circus are also bubbles of energy / safe havens.

Before Garnok Pandorians had thriving civilisations - castles, buildings, villages etc. However Garnok destroyed so many of these communities and spread Pandorian life thinner and thinner. The residue of these forgotten civilisations crumble in the inbetween as seen when we travel between Jorvik and Pandoria.

Things get pulled into this “InBetween” space between realities - sometimes real things, sometimes copies of real things. Reality and energy is highly unstable here and is volatile due to the mixing of energies. This is where a lot of lost things go. Sometimes trees, buildings or sometimes just your missing socks.

After Garnoks initial attacks across Pandoria, the people of the realm tried to fight back. It was a horrendous and long war against this evil tentacle cathulu ass boy, that the Pandorians would eventually loose to. This “Great War” decimated their populations and resources and brought a new era of fear and hiding to Pandorians. Multiple smaller cival wars would break out between communities over disputes in land, boarders, food, resources etc. Everyone was desperate and looking out for themselves. This is why Pandorians are so sparse now a days and always in secrecy wearing masks. Bit of Pandorian history there ;))

Not all Pandorian’s have magic! It’s much like on Jorvik where some are just more adept at controlling and manipulating energy to their will. You can be born with great power that is passed down in generations and can be strengthened with training. But there are also smaller practices of “magic” that anyone can learn with enough guidance and training. Ydris is just a VERY powerful Pandorian - which is one of the reasons he managed to sustain himself on Jorvik without getting sick, and travelled there in the first place. If everyone could do it, Jorvik would have become a safe haven for Pandorian refugees.

That’s it for now!!!! I’d love to hear peoples opinions on these as I’m always open to discussions about Pandoria 😩 we know so little which leaves SO much room for the imagination!!

An Old Sin

“You should really stop bringing me these.” “And why is that?” “You could get in trouble, John. Conspiring with a witch is a sin of the highest degree.” “Well I suppose I’ll be damned to hell then.”

The young man gazed upon his beloved admiringly, her eyes flittering across the page of a book he had brought her.  “Fa- fas- te-,” she mumbled, her brunette eyebrows scrunching in confusion and concentration. “Let me see Rosa,” John placed his hand behind her and scooted his sitting position on the grass closer to her side. Her cheeks flushed as he placed a hand on her opposite shoulder to lean her closer to him. “That one, it’s spelled funny,” the woman placed her finger on the troublesome word.

“Oh yes, fastened,” the man spoke with ease. Rosalinda closed the book, looking up at him with a raised eyebrow. “Oh I’m sorry I’m not a man, my insignificant feminine brain could never understand such readings.” “Well of course, I understand that. Although ‘insignificant’ is quite a big word for a woman,” he smirked, meeting her stubborn gaze. “You cheeky bastard.” Rosalinda placed her hands on his chest, pushing him back onto the ground as she pulled herself on top of him. “Now Rosalinda Jane Silverglade, that’s not very ladylike of you,” said John as he shuffled underneath her, placing his hands on her waist. “Neither is this,” she finished as she lowered her head until their lips touched. Passionately, the two lovers kissed, heat and desire flooding their veins. There was no where in the world either of them would have rather been.  The woman sighed contently, moving herself to the side and gently settling onto the grass. She gazed up, admiring the rare crystal blue cloudless sky amongst the usual gray Jorvegian rainy season. “It’s beautiful out today,” she spoke quietly, relaxing into the crook of her lover’s arm as he wrapped it around her shoulders. “It is indeed,” he responded, but he wasn’t looking at the sky.

The two stayed like that for awhile, embraced on the soft green. The sound of a horse’s whinny or clopping hooves painted the calming silence. Rosalinda’s breath stilled as she drifted off into a dreamless sleep. John could feel every breath, the quiet, steady thumping of her heart against his side. He loved this woman more than anything else in the entire world. He hadn’t thought it possible to love anything to the extent that he loved her. Loved, admired for her tenacious bravery in a world that was never designed for such an intelligent woman as she. But now he was part of the local council, now he could fight to change that. Run out the religious hypocrisy and cries for damnation of any woman who dared to read, write, engage in any other activity besides homemaking and childbearing. Deemed ‘witches’ - he didn’t believe in magic or any higher power for that matter, and thought it absurd that anyone would. The crime of witchcraft was simply a cover for the extermination of a woman who dared to challenge a man. Some time had passed, and the thunderous clouds began to rear their ugly head against the once clear blue. “Rosa, darling-” John spoke quietly, planting a soft kiss on the top of her head. “Hmm..” she mumbled, awakening and sitting up to stretch. “We should be going now, the rain is coming in and your mother will be expecting us for dinner,” he sat up alongside her, brushing off his trousers. “I suppose. We need to do this more often. Just you and me,” she smiled sleepily, looking over at him. “I am getting busier now with the council meetings, but you know I’ll always make time for you.” “I expect nothing less,” Rosalinda stood up, walking over to collect her satchel and the book she was brought. The two began down the dirt path, hand-in-hand. The noise of the village grew louder as they neared. “We really should find a spot not on the other side of the fields away from my home,” Rosalinda grumbled in annoyance, fanning herself with her free hand. The air was hot and humid as the rain clouds gathered. “Hold this for me,” she reached up to take off her shoulder shawl, handing it to him. The sound of heavy, fast hooves sounded on the now cobbled path behind them as the entered the village. A stout man on a large, draft breed looked down at the couple as he passed, nearly knocking Rosalinda over in the process. He quickly snatched his right rein, turning in front of the pair. “Do you think it is proper to walk around this village dressed like a whore?” The man bellowed rather loudly, gathering nearby attention. She could feel John’s hand tense in her own. “No- no sir I do not. I was simply very hot you see, the summer’s here are quite brutal-” “Enough with you. Cover up your bosom,” he turned to John, “you should teach this girl to have more respect for you.” “Fu-” “John,” she whispered harshly under her breath, gathering her shawl back from him and wrapping it back around her shoulders. “Good day,” John spoke gruffly, grabbing Rosalinda’s hand to walk around the large mount. “I’d be careful consorting with her, son. You know there is talk.” Rosalinda shuddered. “I’ll decide who my company is,” John returned, not looking back. “Don’t let him bother you, de-” “They treat you with no more value than the dirt beneath our feet. You can’t expect it not to bother me.” “I don’t,” she sighed, squeezing his hand in her own. The two continued through the village and off on a side road up the hill to the higher part of town, where the larger estates were planted. They hated her because she had money, because she was intelligent. The Silverglade family had, for decades, infamously refused to bow to religion. They publicly shunned the practice of ‘witch’ torcher. They believed an educated woman was a useful woman.  “Never leave your family’s company without me, please.” “I won’t.”

SSO Gender Video Essay Update 3

Been a bit since I released a proper update so to fill folks in, I’ve been working on the script draft for the second video. I was originally going to include a part about SSE’s social media presence and how they treat the player base. However, with how long the script is already getting just covering the first section I think I’ll have to drop it or else it might become too bloated.

I would love to do a whole ‘nother video just covering official Star Stable social media and how SSE treats the player base but for now I’m going to focus on getting this set of videos done. However, I am considering hosting some roundtable discussion style livestreams. If you’re interested please let me know as that’ll help encourage me to get stuff prepped! I was thinking about hosting one following the release of the gender essay videos. However if I don’t have time and energy to also do any videos on social media I’d love the chance to just openly talk about that with folks over live stream as well.

If I cut out the social media section from the second video then the first half will focus purely on discussing characters, gender rep and how SSO showcases gender for women, men and queer characters. The latter half will then focus on gender expression for the player, going over how that works currently with the outdated models we have now vs what we’ve been seeing SSE trying to do with their updated ones and likely touching again on how the survey responses feel about both. I’ll also discuss why diverse gender expression is important and talking about the merits of allowing a wide range including high femininity, high masculinity, androgyny and everything in between. 

That stuff aside, the scripts are coming along pretty well, I think I might close the survey soon, perhaps at the end of the month or end of September depending on when I finish the second video’s draft. My plan is to flesh out video 2′s script to give people time to submit for the survey then go back to video 1′s script and rework it with the feedback I received. We’ve hit OVER 200 RESPONSES! Which is awesome and way above what I was honestly expecting to get as someone who has almost no real presence in the fandom.

If you haven’t done the survey yet please do so before it closes, you can find info about it on this post.  If you already have then thank you so much, I would really appreciate if you can share it as well! I’ve posted about it on multiple social media platforms including reddit and the Jorvegian Collective’s instagram and twitter!

So I finally printed off the @jorvegiancollective ‘Jorvik Devined’ deck.

It’s beautifully made, and I love it so much. I’m a closet witch and thought I would do a basic reading

Then three cards fell out and I turned them over all the same way but one of them was reversed,

It’s a nice trio, the horseshoe, breeze & vision (reverse)

[ID: a picture of three cards lined up in order. Horseshoe: a pony stands over a table with horseshoes on. Breeze: a person riding a horse through a river in a golden forest. Vision: this card is reversed, but shows a horse coloured in with pink clouds.]

The print quality & cutting is on the printer I used and my (lack of) skill with a guillotine, but the cards feel special.

I originally was going to just shuffle them and play on sso with them nearby, but i need some time to think about this reading

Wow, I’ve been away from Tumblr for quite some time, huh? Anyways, I finally got around to printing out the Jorvik Divined deck!! All of the art is just so lovely!!! Unfortunately, my printer’s low on ink so they didn’t turn out so well ;-; But the ones that came out somewhat decent I put up on my board, and the others I placed in my Bella Sara card holder lol

Again a little spam about Mila bc I don't know when to shut up. But this time I explain my choices regarding some things about her - her name is Ludmiła, bc it's a polish name, coming from our slavic ancestors. They named children when they were a little older, 7-11 years old, and the names described the child or a hope for their future. Lud (people) and miła (in this context, dear) pared together mean ,,dear to the people". And that's a perfect name for Jorvik most beloved errand boy - she always wears her necklace with turquoise, bc it's her favorite color and for it's supposed properties. It is supposed to support riders, preventing them from falling of. It's believed to bring calm and concentration, eliminate all stress. It was an easy choice, since she is an ambitious rider and struggles with her mental health - she is demiromantic, but often feels queerplatonic attraction. It's because I'm demiromantic and just can't fall in love (my luck is gone my friends :'> ) but I'm often getting fictional crushes. So they manifest in Mila, who would platonically date half of the Jorvegian women. Okay maybe not so much but you get the point - Mila is a demigirl. Why? Bc I didn't want the Sisterhood to be... Peoplehood? I don't know, I wanted her to be at least a little bit of a girl. And ofc also bc I myself am girlflux, so most of the time I'm somewhere in between - she can act collected when it's absolutely needed, but provoked by people she doesn't necessarily like she snaps. It can happen with anyone when she is overwhelmed, but she tries her best not tu hurt people she love. And that's also why her soul horse, Hazel, is calm incarnated. She often stops her and helps her calm down

She also owns this kitty. This doesn't need an explanation, kitties are just perfect

|| @jorvegiancollective ‘s Rune Bingo ||

Mountain Rune Prompt: “Which race is the most difficult for you?”

The New Hillcrest race. The fact that the timer only gives you 8 or 9 seconds between fences means that, if you make the slightest mistake or get snagged on hitboxes, you’re guaranteed to have to start over. It also doesn’t help that the race has you cross water several times, which forces you to slow down and can cost you valuable seconds in making it to the next checkpoint.

Honorable mentions for other horrible races go to Paddock Island, as well as the Mistfall races. The terrain there is awful and the hitboxes are a stress-inducing mess.

Rune Bingo Challenge || Chaos Prompt

@jorvegiancollective Create a Pandorian creature.

I was going to try and draw this, but frogs aren’t exactly my specialty. But I wanted to talk about my big boy Rhythma from The Lucky Six campaign. Rhythma is a Pandorian refugee who was the leader of a Pandorian-druid group called the Order of the Gray.

Rhythma is part of a Pandorian species I created called the Island Leapers. When he isn’t disguised as a 9 foot tall pink-ish skinned human with ram horns and frog pupils (with a laughably bad Russian-esque accent on my part), he’s a 15 foot tall neon pink bullfrog with ram horns and a croak that can shake a mountain and legs strong enough to leap from each of Pandoria’s floating islands.

I miss getting to play my big guy in campaign, but I’m glad I got to share him while we had the campaign going.
