most aromantic thing sasha james ever did was get replaced by the "evil uncanny not-quite-you" creature who immediately proceeded to get a partner and spend lots of time with him and keep pictures of the two of them together in her desk. the not-them, the avatar of the she would NOT fucking do that.

#also funny to me that not-sasha did actually appear to be dating this stranger tom guy #planting a bunch of photos of the two of them doesn't seem like the type of thing she'd do on purpose #stranger x stranger couple pictures just wind up looking like stock photos #tma #marina marvels at life

I’ve now seen the “would you eat lab-grown meat” poll twice, which means it is time to air one of my least charitable opinions---namely, I think imitation meat is an abomination. I could pretend this is for noble reasons (and I want to believe I have a couple in the mix) but truthfully its existence revolts and annoys me. It feels like a kind of hypocrisy; I mean, I’m sorry if you crave chicken wings for whatever reason? but you’re the one who gave up an omnivorous diet and refused to get creative with the foods left to you. Eat your cauliflower in buffalo sauce and shut up.

#there is a particular website that has a very very helpful list of which vegetables should go in vegetable stock - it's a great list!#unfortunately when you scroll down to mushrooms you are forced to read the sentence ''I eat a plant-based diet #so I don't touch mushrooms (fungi)'' and I swear the first time I read that I blacked out with rage and woke up six hours later #naked in the woods with an armful of maitake #and like....I understand wanting alternatives to something you can't eat! I get it!#(the eggs rolls fried in peanut oil are delicious right up until the allergy strikes)#but styrofoam in the shape of a burger patty feels like the wrong way to go #tw food #no love sincerer than the love of food

So you think he didnt know he was going to be asked that question? To me it looks like both the interviewer and Louis knew what the next question would be about

I don't know and we never will! I tend to automatically bristle a bit at people saying everything is planted planned fake etc because I really just... disagree. So so much of the time. And I don't find it remotely unlikely that an interviewer in LATAM (where like... everyone is a larrie) would ask that and I don't find anything about any of it strange, including that he would be able to answer the question the way he did and without a reaction. But who knows? If they did plant that now I wouldn't find it weird at all (though I don't think they did); however it came about I'm sure they're very interested in taking the temperature of the fanbase around this, seeing what the response is. The fanbase is going through a lot of growth and changes, especially around this stuff! I'd give a lot to know what they're seeing tbh to have that data, it would be truly fascinating. I will say however that I really do not think they arranged for this to drop at the end of his press tour as I've seen suggested (and I imagine there are still more interviews that haven't dropped yet so it isn't even the end? I'm not keeping track but probably?). It was recorded on the very first day of the junket- and having seen this I would guess that NOT knowing when it was going to drop is why Louis has been so very Online these last days monitoring the progress of his little junket tour, knowing that at some point things were going to blow up with this and checking to see if it was happening yet (especially as he probably thought it was going to drop while he was still face to face interacting with fans every day and he'd certainly want to know when it had dropped for that.)

#god to have access to their data and conclusions WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE #lets say they did plant it which again I'm not saying I buy into at all I really just don't think they DO that #but IF THEY DID #I bet it would have been with the intention of it dropping while he was still on his little tour and out there #I have been fighting the impulse to call it a rainbow tour for days I'M SORRY ARGENTINIANS #I used to listen the evita soundtrack a lot when I was really young I'm not proud but it is IN THERE😞#also I'm really not saying it was planted or that I think so BUT #either way #nice that it was just about harry and not 'are you gay' ALTHOUGH #telling that he ofc answers the broader question as if that was what was asked #in fact I think in some ways his stock answer that addresses a lot of things that were NOT brought up at all #is evidence it was NOT planned #like to the casual observer who knows nothing... what the heck does his kid have to do with that?#I guess the gP would assume the question is are you gay or straight (only choices) maybe... but they sure wouldn't know #about the kid stuff #and actually if they were going to plant something surely it would be more vague and not so HARRy STYLES #yeah no I REALLY dont think they did any of that

once again using this as a public diary but. have a conundrum where I really need more money bc now that my data entry job has gone radio silent on when we can expect to get more work (I heard from a friend who's higher up in the company that they're running low on money and had to fire some ppl so who knows when that will be) I have to really on uber eats for 2/3 of my income and that would require doing it so so much and I really don't want to unless I have to. so that leaves finding a part time job but then that means I won't have the 100% flexibility to be available for when I get asked onto productions.

and the idea of having to miss an entire project bc I have work a day job for just one of the shoot days is so annoying. bc I'm just starting out I have to say yes to everything and meet as many people as possible and if I say no to someone then I'm worried they'll never ask me again and I would have missed out on future work from them and people I could potentially meet on that set.

also like. I just miss having a consistent job where I can socialize w people and the vibes are good.

#I seriously lucked out w getting jobs where I can choose my own schedule it was a matter of time b4 that would no longer work #anyways. found a part time job that is only open 6am-12pm and closed on sundays that's stocking a plant / craft store and I'm going to appl #and I really hope I get it. but is this a mistake should i just wait it out #like fr work is going to be picking up so soon so maybe I should just suffer the next couple of months #and count on being able to make enough #whateverrr Im just being dramatic I can take 6 months of only doing weekend shoots

Hello my wonderful and lovely friend!!! I come, as I am wont to do, with questions for splendidissima Rhodri from the OC Codex prompts:

2. a letter written by your OC’s family member

3. a report written by your OC’s teacher or mentor

4. a letter from your OC to their love interest

Now, I don't know if you will spend these days celebrating or not, but they seem to be busy days for anybody regardless. Please take as much time as you like and pick whichever tickle your fancy. And have some lovely, lovely days. Off I go!

OH HI HEY ! 8D 8D Good to see you and thank you for sending in the prompts!! I had such a great time with these, both of my braincells were working overtime and it was a joy!

Owing to spacing and the sheer volume of the answers I'm sticking all this under the cut. I'd apologise but we both know I don't mean it x) x) x)

so o o o 2. A letter written by your OC's family member Here's one from Rhod's younger brother, Owen. Heirs aren't allowed to have favourites, but suffice it to say she and Owen had easy and natural compatibility. He was nine-ish and Rhodri would've been twelve.

The paper is bleached, high-quality Tevinter vellum, bearing a template header in red ink, reading in Tevene rune script, EX SCRIBIO CALLISTANI SPIRI (“From the desk of Spiro Callistanus”). At the top right of the page, the date 13 Justinian, 9:22 Era Drakonis is added in the same wobbly runic script in the rest of the letter. The language of writing is Tevene.

I love you Sēvē,

My birthday was good but sad without you, and thank you for my greenhouse. Mazarin and Evander aren’t allowed inside because they break everything now. Bethann sits with me in there sometimes but not for long.

School is hard but Tata says it gets easier with time. When you come back we can go together. I think that would make it better. Mazarin and Evander are too loud and they don’t sit with me any more. Do you know any plant spells? Please write all of them down so I can learn them when my magic comes. And please tell me your favourite three plants. Mine are ivy, snake kiss, and butterleaf.

Please write lots more soon.

And I love you, from Owen your brother.

Author's notes:

Callistanus- ‘of’ House Callistus, the name given to non-heir family members. An heir is the house, the non-heirs are the members of said house. ‘Callistani is Callistanus in genitive (possessive- I know you know this; clarifying for other potential readers) case. Owen's Tevene name is Spiro, Spiri in genitive form.

The Callistanus/Amell kids did not cope well with Rhodri being taken to the Circle. Not least because they were an arm’s length away when the Kirkwall Templars were beating her to a pulp. Mazarin and Evander, who already tended to be loud and demanding, became destructive and disruptive, and both of them developed explosive tempers that proved hard to pacify. Bethann, the youngest and most sensitive sibling, suffered frequent meltdowns that required many years to identify causes for and address. Owen, the middle child, was always quiet and courteous. The adults in his life, amid attending to his louder, needier siblings, frequently ‘checked in’ on him, and they would have used all the resources they had to attend to any need he might have, but if he said he was doing fine (he always did), they left it at that and assumed he was content to keep to himself. Rhodri had always made a point of keeping him by her side and giving him plenty of one-on-one attention even if he was ‘fine,’ and he soaked that up like a sponge. After she was taken away, though, and the other siblings proved to be very squeaky wheels, there was nobody to fill the gap in those childhood to early teen years. Owen ended up rather neglected, and horribly lonely, and hid it, even lied about it, to everyone but Rhodri for years. Consequently, Owen tends to have a low opinion of himself, and is disinclined to seek out something, however badly he might want it. He does a lot better once Rhodri's back, and certainly once his folks found out (to their unrestricted horror) how neglected he had felt, they did their darnedest to make it up to him as well. But Rhod's return was really what cemented that improvement.

On to 3. a report written by your OC's teacher and mentor

I liked this question because I like the idea of there being a very specific, Chantry-determined format to a progress report, filled with formalities that ostensibly show some level of "civility" between the Templars and the mages. Plus, grading system? How do the mages measure success? So many questions!! Thank you for making me think of the answers!! -

The paper is bleached, blank vellum of middle to high quality, with the standard Circle progress report template already written in with black ink. Irving’s handwriting is a neat cursive that is no longer taught in the Circles. -

Date: 7 Eluviesta, 9:21 Dragon

Tutor name and rank: Irving, F.E.

Apprentice name; age; specialisation: Rhodri S. C. Amell// 10 y.o.// Arcane Magic

Progress report number, AYTD: 2

Presenting compliments to the Knight-Commander and having the honour to report:

Following the discovery of lyrium affliction in early Verimensis 9:22, Rhodri Amell has completed three months of compensatory meditation and distraction management training. Spellpower has improved significantly, as has spell duration (Max. 4; 10s per HS); mana inefficiency has also decreased (less est. 2.5, now 5.5). Continuation of the program recommended indefinitely.

Despite her progress, Rhodri’s temper outbursts are increasing in frequency during lessons proper. I reiterate to the Knight-Commander my suspicion that these arise from the elemental damage and consequent pain in her hands from unsafe proximity to trained mana, particularly as her affliction prevents her from wearing the requisite enchanted safety gloves. As per my last reports, I strongly recommend that my apprentice be permitted to use a sylvan branch staff to prevent more of the same; responding to outbursts with punishment has proved manifestly unhelpful and I continue to urge its cessation to the Knight-Commander with the greatest emphasis.

I note that Rhodri continues to tutor beginner students in her free time. E. Delilah has anecdotally mentioned better performance in this cohort in comparison to Delilah’s previous cohort, and has advised willingness to allow my apprentice to shadow her for some classes. With assistance in managing the change in schedule, I anticipate further progress for all concerned.

Reiterating assurances to the Knight-Commander of my highest consideration.

Irving, F.E.

Author's notes on abbreviations and measurements - AYTD: Academic year to date - Spellpower scale is from 0 (not casting) to 10 (Destruction of a single room - HS- healing spell (in this case spell duration measures how long the intended effects persist until the spell is cut off or wears off on its own) - Mana inefficiency scale measures how much unformed mana escapes when a spell is cast, from 0 (no mana lost) to 10 (all, or almost all mana escaped). .

And 4: A letter from your OC to their love interest!

The author's notes are long so I'd better just get to it:

The paper is bleached, high-quality Tevinter vellum, bearing a template header in red ink, reading in Tevene rune script, EX SCRIBIO CALLISTI SEVERIN (“From the desk of Severin Callistus”). At the top right of the page, the date 11 Pluitanis, 9:35 Era Drakonis is written in sharp, austere letters, as is the rest of the content. The language of writing is Common, with the exception of the tercet, which is in Tevene.

Dulcis,

I pen this letter to you with all my love and, in adherence to the conditions set by your challenge:

I admit that I stand corrected: pickpocketing is very difficult and is not “something I could do as easily as blinking.” (I will say, however, that hiding grapes in the pocket you were keeping the coins was entirely unnecessary. It feels like those bastard Void fruits are hiding everywhere, now.)

With great embarrassment, I enclose a reproduction of the tercetus I so foolishly admitted to writing and frankly, my love, I am starting to think you organised this whole bet so you could get your hands on it. . In vitae finite stabit Formator ton, et querisit "A Incredule, quemisi exultum mihim offerti?" Et respondit humilite, "Ton Zevran, Sanctus amade" .

I must say, my love, I’m enjoying writing to you even though you’re right beside me. I think I’d like to do this more often– though hopefully with fewer tercetae. Maybe I could hang short missives off your Friday flowers. What do you think?

Also, please let me know if you would like to go to the Sidereal Telescopium tomorrow. Quirina is giving a speech on the upcoming New Constellations Room, and I have many questions for them.

My whole heart to you,

Severin (Rhodri). -

Author’s notes:

Tercetus- a traditional Tevene-style three-line rhyming poem.

A rough translation: At the end of life I will stand before your Maker, and he will ask me "You, Unbeliever, tell me– what worship did you ever offer me?" And I will say, simply and earnestly, "Holy Immortal, I loved Your Zevran."

Rhod’s got a complicated religious life. She started okay; the family wasn’t especially pious but they did Chantry things at the frequency considered respectable. Once she landed in Kinloch Hold, though, her prevailing question, for which never received a satisfactory answer, was: “If the Maker can do anything, and He loves us, why does he let us suffer? I wouldn’t do that, and I’m a child, nto a god.” After Broken Circle, she refused to believe the Maker existed, as a consolation to herself, and to avoid the sort of vengeful blasphemy that gets you hung, drawn, and quartered. There’s something about Zevran’s patient faith, though, and his willingness to offer thanks that he has what he has, however miserable his life has been. It’s impressively staunch, and Rhodri admires that, and treasures the comfort it brings him, enough that she slowly comes around to her idea of a compromise. Said compromise is acknowledging that if the Maker exists, He is as capable at unleashing bitter cruelty as He is at creating boundless joy. Rhod’s not one to praise bad behaviour in anyone, let alone a god who should know better, but by golly He did everyone a good turn when He made Zevran. Maybe age will bring other wisdom, but for now, she lets her love for Zevran be her tentative worship, because it’s the only praise she can offer in earnest. Though idk, what better compliment is there for a creator than someone wholeheartedly adoring their creation? I like to think it’s enough for the time being. A religious journey isn’t always straightforward but I always found that complications bring their own insights.

I have no idea why Rhodri signs off her letters to Zevvo as ‘Severin (Rhodri).’ They agreed early on never to use the Tevene name to avoid the ridiculousness that comes with similar-sounding names (it gets especially bad when the siblings give him the Tevene-ised nickname Zēvē when they’re already calling Rhodri Sēvē. Agony!) Same deal with Owen signing off letters to her as “Owen your brother”. Must be hereditary.

Also I'm not sure about how ok it is to use Artbreeder generated images what with the art theft things going around now (I'm not sure where it stands on that sort of thing) so I'll leave out the artbreeder portrait I have of Owen. For a face claim, though, this feller here is pretty close (though I grant you Simon Wood is unlikely to be 9yo in this gif). Token ginger of the Amell-Callistus brood, what's up!

#Thank you again for indulging meeeee <3 <3 <3 <3 I had a ball with this!!#God but I feel so awful for Owen ToT He is such a sweet boy and he was Rhod's little shadow #(and is planning to stock his greenhouse full of Rhodri's favourite plants which is Not Directly giving presents right? Right??)#find yourself a sibling who looks for ways to skirt around Tata's Restrictive Gift Policy #he'd be a dangerous little bastard with his manipulations skills if he had even one bad bone in his body but he doesn't!#parenting is fraught with mistakes and it's a shame he copped some of that but he turns out fine thank god. Rhodri makes sure of that #I honestly don't know what Zevran ends up making of that tercet either #He's a pious fellow at heart and I can't decide if he'd find it well-meant but indisputably blasphemous #or take it as a compliment and not dwell on the other side of it #some part of me feels like he'd overlook any reservations bc there IS a lot of love for him in there and certainly no animosity #idk really- opinions welcome #I like dissecting Zev's personality #Rhodri Amell #Askin' games #Dragon Age: Origins #also in the circle Rhod's father has been buying birthday gifts on her behalf- hence the greenhouse. Rhodri DOES know what he bought #and organises the gift well in advance via letter but it's a complex affair x)#also yes Rhodri absolutely was having meltdowns from magic damaging her hands and the Templars punishments were Not helpful #and Irving is entirely sick of their shit

oh i am feeling nostalgic today

...it's all those train video asmrs, isn't it. i didn't spend that much time on trains. if this keeps up i'll... well, i do already want to go back. some days. not most days, my team -blue and rainbow excepted- aren't used to it. they don't... it's not deserved. it's also not... it's just not their environment

but. hm. thinking realistically about it, we could manage if i went back. rainbow would be happy, i know she's been a little bored. blue... blue wouldn't like the idea, but they'd go along. always together. celestic and wyndy and coco don't know a lot about it other than what other pokemon have told them, and us, so they'll agree for a visit, if only for curiosity

coco won't like the sand, though. we might have to change her form to the ghost-type one...?

#bell speaks #pokeblog rp #pokeblogging #pokemon irl #rotomblr #plates. why am i even considering this have i gone insane #i snuck onto a cargo ship to get out. almost got shot -blue did get shot there's still a few little dents on them- and nearly lost rainbow #i had to do so much paperwork #so much guessing... still don't know my actual birthday. or the day i met blue. or rainbow #we just put a random date on. i don't remember it #it's all DESERT i don't really like sand but it's alright i guess #if i'm remembering right there's one in alola #maybe we'll visit one day. take the edge off the nostalgia #there's even a lycanroc pack there. gible lurking in the sand. no mirage tower-esque things but there's deadly danger #but if we do go there it'll be one more mouth to feed #coco doesn't like meat other than like bugs and small fish #there is one bit of forest.#...i'll have to stock up on her stuff #IF we ever go. IF. WE ARE LIKELY NOT GOING #groaning in agony... i have become a fool. too spoiled by the nice weather and water and food and plants #ugh

My first attempt at smudge stick making :| I wrapped it too much ;~;

Its super tricky to not...crush everything. I made such a mess making this. But I wanted to be a florist or botanist so this is close enough and I'm excited to practice more as I'd love to have a shop at renn faire.

This wasn't made with any specific purpose, I just wanted to focus on making them. But here's a list of materials I used and their purposes;

Leaves;

Bamboo: Cleansing, luck, prosperity, protection, wishes

Dandelion: (Air, Jupiter, Leo, Taurus, Sagittarius, Aquarius) Dreams, health, magic, power, prediction, wishes

White Sage: (Air, Sun, Jupiter, Virgo, Taurus) --Cleansing, protection, wisdom, wishes; exorcism & immortality if u believe that Flowers;

Rose petals: (Water, Venus, Jupiter, Taurus, Libra) Love, luck, mental, prediction, protection,

Tulip petals: (Earth, Venus) Love, prosperity, protection, sex

Daffodil: (Water, Venus, Leo) Fertility, love, luck, opportunity

Chrysanthemums: (Fire, sun) Health, mental, protection

Cinnamon Stick: (Fire, Sun, Mercury) Healing, luck, magic, opportunity, prediction, wealth

These are intended to be multi-use as the cinnamon stick shouldn't be burned all at once. Sage sticks, a Palo Santo stick and the cinnamon stick slow the burning process.

Cinnamon sticks won't be part of every smudge stick due to it can be harmful if misused, especially by someone who my have trouble breathing, Again, this was just a first attempt at doing the thing.

I tried to match things by color of what correlated, but the flowers are a bit messy because I just grabbed what I had the most of. The leaves that make up the majority of it are built to wish on. I can't remember if I planned that or that's fortunately what I can get a lot of.

#ima have to stock up on shit from my yard before i move ._.#i'll miss having this yard but i am too unmotivated to do anything with it besides pick plants #magic #witchblr #witchcraft #smudge stick #spellcraft #alter #witch #not actually but #my bullshit
