a random OC ask for you (for zaihala): what is your OC's favorite memory?
also: if they were dropped in a random city for a day with a pouch full of gold/relevant currency and no obligations whatsoever, what would they be doing?
aah omg this is so sweet ehehe, thank you for the qs :3c
i like to imagine that zaihala is an avid stonemason and mosaicist .. i think she is enraptured by the idea of taking something so resilient in nature and molding it under the guide of mallet and chisel . she's a humanist intrigued by the natural world, by geology.. by the incredible craftsmanship that goes into such a trade .
if she were to be dropped into some random city with the freedom of both time and money, i think you could find her in the market , sourcing materials or tesserae she couldnt otherwise acquire at her local workshop. . glass, shells, ceramics etc from vendors or acquainting herself with quarry tradesmen in order 2 procure the stone that best fits her vision.its an obsession..u literally have to pull her away or she'll be there all day
as for her FAVORITE MEMORY!!! omg.. i keep picturing her as this fresh face in baldurs gate, having just moved there on her own , sworn to independence but feeling like maybee she made a mistake. . maybe she was too impulsive, chasing her desire to pursue stonework on a whim, not having thought abt the consequences or the finances or what have u .. but she takes the chance to meet up with some local artists on an outing just outside the city .and its just sooo .. reaffirming to her in that moment. to be surrounded by people who are drunk on wine & laughter and to see the sprawling city just before her as the sun is setting..and the wind is warm..gentle...and it leaves her feeling so content..like a feeling of peace that swells up within her and lets her know tht she made the right choice. that it will be OKAYYU!!!!!!!!!! i think that's gotta be in one of her top ten.. perhaps.
sometimes I develop stock backstories for a particular character that I can tweek for a variety of aus because i just like the vibe. Like Cas growing up in a big religiously abusive family on an isolated farm and maybe murdering his dad in his teens and getting away with it (don't worry about it.)
Anyway one I like for supernatural generally is just like. The Apocalypse gets derailed entirely by accident and no one has any idea what to do now. On the one hand it's a very utilitarian thing. I wanna write early seasons fic without the looming threat of the apocalypse hanging over everything sometimes you know? But I also just really like that vibe. The fact that the world is never going to end as like a source of existential horror. Especially for this species whose purpose is entirely tied up in the apocalypse. What does a world look like when it's been abandoned by God and just keeps on going? The same as it always did.
I like to imagine the slow death of heaven as the debate on if they should restart the apocalypse and how rages, and as they try to figure out what went wrong and who's to blame the lies that sustain this system start to crumble. They find out God hasn't been giving orders for a long time and now the final thread of prophecy he left them has snapped and they're left floundering. Some dedicated few go searching for him but when it becomes clear he's not to be found and isn't coming back it all just starts to seem so pointless. The archangels are locked in debate over what to do next, middle management is just trying to keep dissent from spreading, and all the while more rank and file angels are just... slipping out the back door when no one's looking. They aren't needed in heaven, they aren't needed anywhere, what can they do but try to find some purpose for themselves? And what better example to follow than those small ignorant favoured creations who have always had to construct meaning for themselves in the face of the daunting prospect of free will?
That's where Castiel goes looking anyway.
My favourite version of this is one where he ends up making a Reverse Doomsday Cult.
For anyone that misses my livestreams but are interested in catching up on them, I'll be posting the VODs to my youtube channel!
I know twitch holds the VODs for a period of time, but I figure it's a good idea to archive them elsewhere in case anyone wants some background noise in the future 👌
My partner was at work all day, and when he came home he found his Hermes statue literally blown up. The leg of the statue was still standing on his nightstand so it didn't fall over, the rest of the statue however was on his floor broken into five pieces scatted about. His door was closed all day and nobody could’ve gotten into his room to break it. It was perfectly fine when he left for work this morning, he just found it a few minuets ago.
He is however not a practicing pagan or Wiccan, he’s always just held an affinity toward the god Hermes, he’s worn a pendant with Hermes face on it for two years and has had no issues. He’s very spiritually attune, and he consistently has religious dreams and his joke at the moment is that the Yah-weh blew his statue up. It may be important that he had a tektite next to it, as well as his favorite dollar bill that was a counterfeit he had sitting on the statue.
Any advice? We’re both extremely freaked but I live eight hours away and am not sure how to help from this distance (I am the practicing pagan ion this relationship). It’s too freaky that his statue was perfectly destroyed without any signs of how. Pls help.
Listen, I love that tik tok kid's are not letting ANYONE get away with shitty activity but it's a double edged sword.
On one hand, it's great they are trying to call out Markiplier who said the t slur(one edge) but the reality is that was 10 years ago, not used as an insult (he said it to describe someone cross dressing in a non-offensive manner. Like if someone was to call someone a faggot thinking it was just another word for gay that was inoffensive, not realizing it was a slur.), He's apologized and he's now active in supporting the LGBT community, especially the treavor project. But they are trying to call him out now, long after the incident and the apology and the moving on (other edge)
It's also funny watching them comparing it to willbur dreamsmp man when he said it in 2017 then immediately apologized just to turn around and call people retards. Like bro those aren't the same things lmao
God has broken my spirt by giving me dysphoria but the second I send my tiddies to Timbuktu you better fucking believe I’m going to roll me way up to heaven and have a real good talk
