#mother of all wolves

[palaeosinensis]

To my general shock it seems I have not actually uploaded this piece to Tumblr before. Way back in 2021 things were...very dark and bad. I lost three family members and a companion their equal in about a year. Three of them in about four months. There was and still is a lot of baggage tangled up in there. I was painting my character Ama Tala (The mother of all wolves) thinking somber thoughts on the winter solstice. My grandmother died that night. It gives me a lot to think about every year. Last embers. Long cold nights. Sparks. New beginnings. Growing days. Happy Winter Solstice.

self indulgent got concept.

Ned brings Jon home, Cat hates the boy, everything stays the same... until Robert Baratheon is charging through the halls of Winterfell looking for the babe, ready to butcher the poor thing where he lay helpless in his cradle.

in a matter of moments Catelyn learns three things:

The babe was never a bastard, Ned had only lied to her to protect Jon, and that she would die before she let Robert lay a finger on the babe she'd previously wished death upon.

cue Catelyn Stark snatching Jon from his cradle, holding him, protecting him, loving him as she would her own son, risking it all to keep him safe, all care for herself thrown to the wind.

like they say, what a mother's love holds no bounds, and what it makes her capable of had no limits.

#listen listen listen #I just want Catelyn to love Jon Snow and I don't care what I ahve to do to make it happen #(plus the angst is delicious) #I was rewatching old kids movies and ended up watching ice age and idk why but the mom sacrificing herself for her babe gave me ideas #I just imagine young Cat holding onto the boy she hated and wished death on for being bastard (only to find out he wasn't one) as tightly- #as she could. knowing Robert and his men were coming. knowing they would slaughter the boy in front of her. knwoing she'd wished for this- #and deciding she'd give her own life to protect him if thats what it came to. #and in my mind she jumped from the window of the nursery knowing the halls will be filled with the kings men and leave little chance for- #escape. before fleeing on injured legs to hide the babe and herself knowing Robert would be right behind her. she's in agony. but she'll- #going for the babes sake. she won't stop until her heart is dead in her chest. even if it hurts to move and breath and think he keeps going #maybe she takes a horse and flees wintefell all together. maybe she hides somewhere in/around the castle. maybe Robert catches her? #if she runs with him she'd have nothing but the clothes on her back. she'd have to feed him and keep him warm. she'd have left her own son- #behind. the potential angst and hurt/comfort as Cat misses her own son and learns to love another. feeding him and keeping him warm from- #her own body while she's injured and lost and at the will of the elements of the strange new place she now considered calling home #idk I just think it'd be an interesting concept #there's something about a mother and her child being cornered by 'wolves' (in this case a stag). this has the added spice of Cat and Jon's- #dynamic. just earlier that day she could barely look at him and now she's willing to die for him. the change happened in seconds. #that was a lot of ranting in the tags. oops. anyway... #catelyn stark #jon snow #I love putting these two in harrowing. life altering. and/or traumatic situations so they can finally just be mother and son #I live for the angsty family feels #got #game of thrones #asoiaf

Hi ladies have you heard of putting garlic in dishes? Game changer.

#I’m so serious #my mother HATES garlic (unless it’s in food she eats outside of the home where she magically rarely notices it) #so my father was never allowed to cook with it and I had a trained on fear of it #when I got older my father and me would sometimes sneakily eat garlic #like I remember when we went shopping and bought a loaf of garlic bread (organic stone oven) and just kept nibbling at it #until we’d devoured the whole thing. just full on shamelessly wolving down garlic bread while standing in the street #and then we got a headache. #nowadays whenever I go out to eat and come back smelling like garlic hes all 👀 ohhh garlic??? #anyhow. he put a herb mix into my salad and there’s garlic in there #and I was all WOW best salad ever?! :0 #🦪.txt #also I’m being a little unfair to her. she can’t have garlic bc it’s not good for her I think? #but her attitude has become so hostile and grossed out towards it. which is mean.

I am so sorry, Jonathan. I know it’s hard, and the things happening to you are horrible, but I also know how capable and strong of a person you are.

Your friend,

#dracula daily #re: dracula #june 24 #drcaula really is evil #he stole jonathan's identity; went into town dressed like him; stole a baby; brought it back to the castle; his brides ate it #jonathan heard it's last cry; the mother shows up not long after; sees jonathan; calls him a monster; wails and beats on the castle door #dracula has her eaten by wolves; all of this jonathan hears by the way; not to mention the brides trying to roofie him again #this is probably the saddest part in the book for me; others would say it's a different death (spoilers) that's much sadder for them #but this death of the nameless mother and child in front of jonathan's eyes while he's helpless to stop it really is the saddest part for m #my dear friend jonathan is really going through it #jonathan harker x therapy #bram blogs

there'll always be a few things, maybe several things that you're gonna find really difficult to forgive

hnnng. i need to go back to therapy

#there's gonna come a day when you feel better / you'll rise up free and easy on that day #and float from branch to branch / lighter than the air / just when that day is coming / who can say / who can say #our mother has been absent / ever since we founded rome / but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home #i'm gonna get myself in fighting trim / scope out every angle of unfair advantage #i'm gonna bribe the officials! / i'm gonna kill all the judges! / it's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage! #our mother has been absent / ever since we founded rome / but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home! #... #i am just. So Heavy with bitterness and anger and unprocessed trauma and brain fog. it's so tiring! #i want to put it down! where can i put it down. HOW do i put it down. how do i keep from picking it up again #ugh #personal #abbie needs a twitter #up the wolves #the mountain goats #sing to me #kinda

writing short essay about financier cookie

this blog: yall financier "gave up"/"had to let go of" a mother figure and basically the only found-family family she had. she was raised as an orphan and didnt have anyone. she knew her parents were no longer in the world. she trained and fought to get to where she is. she manages to keep a poker face and is the most functional cookie because she had to grow up fast. she has every right to drag madeleine's ass (also espresso). she uses her own time and resources to feed orphaned kids because she doesnt want them to live a sad childhood like hers. hes wishes to always get better foods for them, basically saying that shes not being paid enough. not only that but judging by her lonely childhood, she didnt had a lot of friends or comrades she could reach out to. the only person she could reach out to was meuille fille cookie. and now. shes gone from her life because financier cookie knew it was the right thing to do. a lot of cookie run characters have some sort of family/foundfamily (see tags). but financier had one mother figure and had to let go of her.

financier cookie has huge enormous dick energy and is probably one of the most deep characters that devsis could ever write

#cookie run kingdom #cookie run kingdom spoilers #crk spoilers #cookie run #financier cookie #hell shed even see clotted cream as more of a family member because she was chosen to protect the custerd cream house #at least espresso had one childhood friend who cared about him even when he became a professor later #yall know that crunchy chip had a family of wolves and also dad cacao running the kingdom #hollyberry grabbed wildberry and said he is now in the found family #CLOTTED CREAM AT LEAST HAS A BIOLOGICAL MOTHER WHO TRIES HER BEST TO REACH OUT TO HIM #we all know that madeleine has 4 family members #financier had one family and now she's gone

Being angry at someone and carrying all that anger and frustration with you every day and that person not even knowing because they never registered what they did or said to you as wrong or impactful and not getting why you're the way that you are with them is the worst

#cringe oversharing during Thee locura week... whatever. #(--_--) #mytext #like. there are some days when i just can't bear to look at my mother. i look at her and think back about everything and just wish that #i. idk. could shout at her and have her think about it all but i just know that she doesn't even remember any of it. only i do. #and the thing is. i learned to kind of cope with myself and one day hopefully i'll get to work through some things with a professional #but i just will never have closure with her. never. it's just something that i'll have to live with #but it's so frustrating and unfair. i don't think this feeling will ever go away #and it's Bad because there's also that. voice in my head telling me that it wasn't that bad because there's worse. there's way worse. #and wouldn't she remember at least some of it if it actually was bad? but like. on a rational level. i *know* that it Was bad. #but i'm still very hesitant to call it anything but that despite the Effects that it had. which also applies to pretty much everything else #that happened when i was little. :/ #there are two wolves inside you no kid should go through that etc etc vs it's not like they beat you or anything You are whiny

“Take my eyes, Take them Aside

The Battle of Yorktown, 1781

Ich habe mich irgendwie verlaufen (translation: I got lost somehow)

In a seafoam jacket, you roam around the room

Devil, he dragged me down

The consequence of imagination’s fear

I’m not satisfied with that look up in your eyes

I got hit hard, I’m on the ground

Took my first breath

Don’t speak

The thing is that the portrayal of Neanderthals as having been inherently grotesque and alien to H. sapiens is something we will never have proof of. But we do have proof that, in different locations and in different populations across time, we all found eachother desirable. We saw eachother and wanted to touch. And the offspring were held by their mothers and raised and had their own offspring in turn.

When you look for the first proof that H. sapiens found Neanderthals repulsive, you have to wait until the Victorian era, when the white masters of empires were busy portraying Neanderthals as stupid, brutish, and (of course) dark-skinned.

In more modern times, we’ve had people arguing that instead of seeing Neanderthals as Benighted Savages, they should instead be seen as Noble Savages, (allegedly) cruelly destroyed and driven from their lands by H. sapiens. Which one of their two you believe says more about your modern political views than it does about ancient H. sapiens.

And, whether we construct Neanderthals as Savage or Noble Savage, the fundamental assumption we project into the unfathomably distant past is still that H. sapiens saw Neanderthals as an Other, with the language we use being almost explicitly that of modern racial dynamics.

But we have no proof of any of that. We have no proof of hostilities. We know we co-existed and we had sex. That’s it.

Humans obviously have sex with some humans and kill others. We also know that, when small groups of humans occupy vast spaces with infrequent contact with others, unique cultures will always form, some more hospitable, some more neophobic/xenophobic. But many cultures of small settlements placed among huge unpeopled landscapes place supreme emphasis on hospitality to strangers. Plus, we fucking love other social animals, as evidenced by how we befriended wolves.

I’m a humourless weirdo and a wet blanket about popular constructions of Neanderthals as “monstrous”, and I freely admit it. But that’s because it’s tied up in legacies of imperialism. Not only that, but it also privileges one culture (yours, mine, modernity’s) as being most human by implicitly assuming we can project it onto people in the past. Since you don’t pretend that all global cultures share exact same values as you do, it doesn’t take more than a few moments’ reflection to realise you can’t do that to the past.
