Jenifer Lewis brandy and Roz Ryan “ In these streets ”
“You’re being very mysterious.”
The customary harrumph is somewhat more amused than usual. She turns her grey head to the Scientist, the better to see him with her single seeing eye (as opposed to her Seeing eye).
“The cosmos is mysterious. Suns and stars and worlds upon worlds- all the heavens are mysterious! Thra is mysterious. Can Aughra be anything other?”
there are gonna be a lot of harrumphs on this blog
“Ecliptic Currents” - original acrylic painting by me (Benjamin Allan Simon)
A piece I made to represent the eternal paths of celestial bodies and the archaic language that the cosmos seems to leave behind for humans to decode.

(skcklach) “This is my punishment. I deserve it.”
“Punishment! Hmph! Always punishment, never consequences,” she begins in her usual brusque tone (though one who knows her well will note that it is a mite gentler than her usual wont). “And why is that? Hmm? Because punishment does not teach.”
@skcklach
“You are not limited to this body, to this mind, or to this reality—you are a limitless ocean of Consciousness, imbued with infinite potential. You are existence itself.”
“Hmph! Well! You don’t see this often, do you? No you don’t. Not often at all!”
“Well? What do you want?! Come on, out with it! Aughra hasn’t got all day.”

“★*゚‘゚・ Jim Henson’s The Storyteller Sentence Meme (part two) ・*゚‘゚ ★
“When people told themselves their past with stories, explained their present with stories, foretold the future with stories…the best place by the fire was kept for…The Storyteller.”
Change pronouns/phrasing/tense/etc as needed!
The Three Ravens
“But there was one among the mourners whose eyes were dry…”
“You may well weep.”
“But the witch could charm the skin from a snake.”
“That’s witchery!”
“I hate that witch.”
“A magic forest!”
“You’re being very mysterious.”
“I sewed each one by hand.”
“I can’t look at you.”
“Oh, please do. Please look at me.”
“You must keep silent. You must not speak to a single soul for three years, three months, three weeks and three days. Only then can the spell be broken.”
“Have you been cursed, is that it?”
“Killer of my father! Bewitcher of my brothers!”
“Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“It’s horrible, I can’t believe it. She’s a witch.”
“She practised her smile until it was perfect.”
The Heartless Giant
“On the whole, there’s absolutely no need to be frightened of giants. Giants are gentle, perfectly harmless. Very affectionate.”
“I don’t believe it!”
“Would you like to be my friend?”
“This is my punishment. I deserve it.”
“And from that moment, the boy in him, the innocent heart, the joy in him, they were gone.”
“Please, please…or I must surely die.”
“This is the giant’s work.”
“He’s no one’s friend, he has no heart in his body.”
“I don’t treat you badly, do I?”
“He who pries, is prone to die.”
“Where have you been?!”
“Like with like, spite with spite, all the pain you’ve caused, I now repay!”
“A little boy once met a giant and they became friends.”
The Luck Child
“It’s luck, it’s a gift, it’s a blessing and therefore can’t be undone.”
“It happened in a week with two Fridays.”
“A Luck Child, poor as penance, rich as snow, the seventh son of a seventh son.”
“You can’t put gold to your breast, you can’t hear its heartbeat.”
“Otherwise we’d all be lords and no king, and then what?”
“You’re a lucky one, then.”
“You’ve fallen in among thieves, I’m afraid.”
“I’m supposed to be lucky.”
“Your luck’s run out, oh dear me, yes.”
“For love, for justice, for fame, for fortune.”
“Always in the end, terrible cries, splintering bones, the suck, suck, suck of juices.”
“Okay! Food now!”
“Busy day ahead, eating people and wreaking havoc.”
“No one has ever come back.”
“I’ve done as you bid.”
“On the other shore, gold lies were pebbles should, emeralds where sand and where the sea breaks, diamonds form.”
“So if you come one day to a lake, and there’s an island and a ferry goes back and forth rowed by an old sad man, turn around. Griffins live there. You may never get off the boat.”
“Nature, my dear, is a wise woman who pays us back, tit for tat.”

this blog is still, really, an experiment tbqh; i would like to try writing her, so if you guys are interested in a thread please definitely come talk to me, but understand that i haven’t got my footing with Aughra yet
some short opens (for mutuals) will probably be coming soon, but that said, if you have an idea for a thread lay it on me

So many of her children are gone. With Gelfling either dead or scattered throughout the stars that she spent too long off wandering through herself, and Podling either enslaved or living under the looming threat of more Garthim raids, and the land and the Crystal both horridly abused-
Thra is quiet.
The song is faint, and many voices are missing. But some, some- some can still be heard. From time to time, she follows them out. So far from Thra, they are still her children, and she still watches over them.
With a long groan, she settles into a seated position on the naked ground, and closes one of her remaining eyes. She sends her consciousness out of her body, and drifts for a while. Most Gelfling are settled somewhere; some still wander.
She finds one, curled up asleep on a bed made for one twice her size, black hair streaked with the darkest blue-green splayed out on the white pillow she holds close to her. This one has been drifting a long while- and even now, asleep, she drifts through the stars on a great silver ship. She follows her into her dream, and has a few words with her...
But there is another here that she knows. Has known, for age upon age. One of few Aughra would call ‘an old friend.’ But then, all of Aughra’s friends are old. He is not of Thra, like her sleeping child, but of Gallifrey, one of Thra’s sisters. Her astral form reaches out, her voice comes echoing.
“Hmm! I go looking for Gelfling; look who I find! Been a long time, hasn’t it?”

no icons! but the question is: do i care enough to try making some
The Helix Nebula in Hydrogen and Oxygen : Is the Helix Nebula looking at you? No, not in any biological sense, but it does look quite like an eye. The Helix Nebula is so named because it also appears that you are looking down the axis of a helix. In actuality, it is now understood to have a surprisingly complex geometry, including radial filaments and extended outer loops. The Helix Nebula (aka NGC 7293) is one of brightest and closest examples of a planetary nebula, a gas cloud created at the end of the life of a Sun-like star. The remnant central stellar core, destined to become a white dwarf star, glows in light so energetic it causes the previously expelled gas to fluoresce. The featured picture, taken in the light emitted by oxygen (shown in blue) and hydrogen (shown in red), was created from 74 hours of exposure over three months from a small telescope in a backyard of suburban Melbourne, Australia. A close-up of the inner edge of the Helix Nebula shows complex gas knots of unknown origin. via NASA
