Pick a pile: what to focus on this month
I wanted to do a short and simple reading for you all today. Choose a pile and read about your focus for the month of March
Pile one:
Ten of Wands
You may find yourself taking on extra responsibilities in the month of March. Some of these things will be because you need to and some will be because you feel like you have to. During March, do your best to prioritize the needs vs wants. By the end of the month, things will ease up a bit and you’ll be able to take a rest.
Pile two:
The High Priestess
This is a month of spiritual growth, pile two! You are being called to listen to your intuition, trust your guides, and embrace your divine femininity. In the duel against head or heart, your head has been winning lately. Logic and plans both have their place and are important, but it’s time to listen to your heart. Really focus on how you feel this month.
Pile three:
Nine of Cups
This month, take a step back and look at all of the beauty in your life. Your life is filled with love, friendship, happiness, and success. Don’t focus on making changes or feel pressured to DO things. Our world is so focused on go, go go, and NOT going can make us feel like we’re failing. But, what they don’t want you to know, is that enjoying your life in the here and now can be just as revitalizing. Using this month to simply appreciate life will make you even stronger for April.
Pile four:
Two of Cups rev. and The Sun
Self-love is the theme of March for you, my lovely fours. I think it’s something you’ve been working on and you’ll really be stepping into the power of it this month. Do the things that make you happy and fill your heart with warmth. Stay positive even on the crappy days, and let your light shine. People are noticing your radiance and they are so happy for you (and because of you).

thinking about just how sudden and cruel Jessamine's assassination was. Corvo and Emily suddenly ripped out of their regular lives.
Corvo has only just returned after months of being separated from his family. he only stepped off the ship, barely made it to the Tower, didn't even walk through the front door before he watched Jessamine be murdered. his luggage was probably still on the ship, all his dirty clothes, warm coats for Tyvia and light silks for Sekonos, his journal and maybe a spare weapon, the nice coat for when he is meeting up with the rulers of the different isles. the little gifts he most likely collected through his travels across the Empire, for Jessamine and for Emily and maybe some members of the Tower staff that he is fond of. did he bring back candy he loved as a child so that Emily could finally try them? where did his personal correspondence go?
what about Emily? she was taken and kept locked up in the Golden Cat, and we hear her mention her doll, but what other things were left behind? her favourite cup, the plants at her windowsill? her collection of drawings, and the notebooks she kept for her lessons, paints and music instruments that she was learning to play as every proper lady should? where are her favourite fairytale books now? her wardrobe, her favourite shoes, the little hair ornaments Jessamine would tuck into her hair for all the parties and balls?
and what of Jessamine? with no family to set away memorabilia, sort through her things, her diaries and notes and letters that were waiting for an answer? the private ones, that she kept hidden away so no one could read them but her? did she have a favourite tea blend that now sits abandoned in the Tower kitchens?
we do not see their rooms, once we return to the Tower to take out Burrows. it is almost like the royal family never existed, and I must wonder: what happened with what remained behind of their lives, after Jessamine died?

the real problem with The Silmarillion is that the creative sandbox is SO big, from the literal world map to the many-millennia timeline to the characters who are half historical figure constructed from 6 different half-contradictory drafts, half mythical archetype, and don’t even get me STARTED on the theological philosophy… that there is NO chance anyone else will remotely properly write the fic in your head. In other fandoms, I can be pretty sure that at least the people in the carefully chosen 12-person discord server I belong to all have the same fic in their heads that we jammed together at 2am, with the same interpretations of character and theme which we’ve debated and discussed at length. But The Silmarillion? You can spend 3 hours discussing a single character in like a 5-year period and walk away completely happy with shared headcanons BUT SIMULTANEOUSLY certain that their interpretation of the character is fundamentally different than yours, such that any fic they write would suffer from notable if not severe “he would not fucking say that” disorder…and that both your and their interpretations are completely reasonable reads of the text, so you can’t even be mad.
So you HAVE to write ALL your own fic or it’s AGONIZING.
