i wish i could figure out a way to talk about seladon and religion because as it stands, gelfling don't really have ... Faith? at least not in the way that humanity has conceptualized organized religion. they have a God and they believe in a higher power, but aughra is a physical being who definitively exists and has been a part of and influenced gelfling societal and cultural development, and it's a fact that thra is a living planet thats force is felt / enacted most strongly through the crystal of truth, hence the draining process and emergence of the darkening. they don't need to Worship because aughra exists to them as a historical figure more than she does a religious avatar, and mother thra as a planetary lifeforce obviously doesn't have a need for tithes or devoutness and suchon. plus, i'd argue the skeksis don't even exist to the gelfling as deity figures ; it's very firmly a ruler/subject disparity between them despite their otherworldly origins, bid for immortality, adherence to rituals of worship, etc etc. and yet, seladon's arc absolutely exists in the realm of religious horror for how her "faith" is challenged, the desecration of sacred imagery in the corruption of the crystal, the skeksis as a supernatural threat, how she ends the series turning back to "purity" (aughra), and it's kind of missing the point to act as though her story is only a crisis of morality

back on my comics / superhero bullshit @channeil6

woke up feeling very seladon brained and by “very seladon brained” i mean thinking about how brea and seladon either had to take tavra’s body back to ha’rar so her burial rites could be observed after the second battle of stone in the wood, or they had to do it where she died after they escaped the castle of the crystal so tavra doesnt even get to be laid to rest in her own homelands

hey guys!! i hate to ask, but i'm in a lil spot financially. a few days ago i had my first trip to the dentist since i was a teenager (a LOT of dentists in the uk went private in the early 2000s and it only got worse during covid bc of the crazy high-demand nhs backlog of patients), and oh boy. for the most part they said i'm looking okay-ish, which was a relief. i've the money to pay for the first half of my treatments (which comes to just under £300), but the rest of my treatments over the next two appointments are a lot more hefty and are gonna amount to a total of £645

this is a total i am gonna really struggle with considering my current living situation, paygrade and work hours. i'd be super super thankful if anyone's able to give me a hand!! i'm not in the position to offer commissions right now, but i do have a ko-fi shop if you see anything you like!! otherwise, donations of any sum or any reblogs people are able to provide are super duper fucking amazing and i'm beyond thankful for. here is my paypal and my ko-fi to take things through. thank you again!!!

» BETWEEN TWO FIRES. sentence prompts pulled from christopher buehlman’s novel, between two fires. mature themes ahead. change as you see fit, ser.

i feared you, but now i pity your suffering.

if death means to take you, he may do it here as easily as on the road. he is already in this house.

you may not be wicked, but i’m wicked enough for both of us.

i don’t care if you shit yourself. you don’t deserve any better.

balls to that. i’ll swear if i please.

that’s not forgiveness, it’s justice. and wretched justice at that.

i can’t sleep. i’m too… agitated.

i’m sorry. i’m nervous. you know i talk when i’m nervous.

what a pain in the ass you are!

everyone lies at confession. around the edges, at least.

let us speak of something happier.

we don’t want to start liking you and have you up and die on us.

i suspect more than i know.

your joking is pleasant, but it doesn’t hide the hole in you.

when was the last time you had wine? and i mean good wine.

but i can suffer. god wants suffering now.

i think he liked being bad as long as it was for pretend.

help yourself. something bad goes on here at night.

if it made you smile, it’s not completely useless.

we all fall short of perfection.

that’s the beauty of being nude in a river; you’re nobody. you’re anybody you want to be.

i do what i say. which is why i don’t say much.

those big cities are tombs, and they’re hungry.

i’ll look after your soul. as for the body, that’s in god’s hands.

if anything knocks, don’t open.

you only have one task, and that is to live. see that you do it.

so you drink the fruit of your brother’s damnation.

the plague doesn’t care about nice.

i just… don’t want anybody’s eyes on me. if i have to do things to survive.

heavenly treasures and earthly ones are not the same.

please help us. in the name of mercy, i beg you.

if devils hide in beer, is that why you drink so much wine?

let us be loving with each other. there’s so little love anywhere.

many who ask for justice are sorry to get it, and so shall it be with you.

you know what we’ve come to do now, don’t you?

do you believe in luck, my lady?

shadowheart, baldur's gate 3. i have my family back, and now i can't even look them in the eye. i don't deserve to be anyone's daughter.

200 DAYS OF HOUSE TARGARYEN — day 115: baela targaryen in regent

[excaliabur]

⤷̲ correspondence with, @bluemns as seladon ... ❝ how am i supposed to trust you? ❞ :·

                        the question halts him mid-stride, with boots grinding as he pivots back toward her, brows drawn in tight. ❝ i don't understand why you'd doubt our reasons for being here, your highness?   ❞ anakin says, ❝ we're delivering aid supplies, that's all. leave the politics for the senate.   ❞ it's a deflection, as much as an answer.

he is not ignorant to know how the giefling people see the galaxy, how they interpret this war, their views on the jedi order and its teachings. the force is strong here, much more loud and alive than he's ordinarily used too. it presses against anakin's senses, vibrating through him like a strong current. since first stepping foot upon thra a day prior, it has continued to cloud his thoughts, and pull strangely at him.

❝ you don't have to trust us, believe whatever you want about the jedi, about the republic. but let us help you.   ❞ he continues, with tone lowering to something not so direct as often he takes. ❝ it's not a bribe, if that's what you're worried about.   ❞ gloved hand comes to settle upon his hip, while the other rises to pinch the bridge of his nose, a gesture against the strain. ❝ in fact, senator amidala of naboo insisted on this supply run. so, here we are.   ❞

[bluemns]

politics.  hah.  were it not for the sake of professionalism,  seladon may have just chuffed aloud.  only the jedi,  reared without knowledge of their homeworlds,  would dismiss her concerns as a matter to be resolved on the senate floor.  gelfling are a secretive race.  there has been no documentation of a childling raised in peacemakers’ faraway temples. representation among the republic is itself a recent advent,  brought about only by skeksis insistence.  to house skywalker and his men in any capacity upon her soil is near blasphemous for the way it exposes them, and his flippancy of the matter brings greater displeasure to a countenance already broiled in embitterment.

“  i do not need permission to distrust you,  general,  nor does thra need your help.  ”  yet even as she speaks,  the song of the crystal is corrupted.  a discordant melody,  drawing blight across their lands and turning creatures mad with disease.  can he feel it,  seladon wonders as she watches anakin work his fingers into the bridge between his eyes,  this sickness in the air?  is that why they had truly come?  to witness the mighty thra’s collapse firsthand,  preserve their findings in the archival libraries for all to discover?  beside her anger,  the thought instills her with an unease.  if such information was available to the public,  how many more would come? 

“  our lords have been entrusted with the planet’s well - being for thousands of trine.  you may offer senator amidala my thanks,  if it so pleases you,  but i would advise that her and your order tend to the matters that concern them before you impose yourselves on my people.  we are not one of them.  ”

i’m still on vacation but garthim wars seladon truly is insane to me cause what if you were still considered a “child” ( very young adult ) by your species’ aging / social development standards and yet you were the power to answer to in the midst of a war against creatures you don’t understand because the skeksis come from another dimension entirely and the garthim are unnatural hybrids of two extinct / subjugated species. what if everything you ever feared for your race and your family’s legacy was coming true before your very eyes and all you can do is let it happen / push it in the right direction because you can’t Stop the war. you can’t Stop the skeksis bloodlust, you tried negotiating with them once for it and they told you no and then tortured you by forcing you to look upon the darkened crystal of truth. what if you were the guiding light for your species that you spoke of when everyone else doubted you, but it was in every single wrong sense and you’re basically the judas sheep for the entirety of the gelfling race because there’s nothing else you can be. i am the all maudra leader of the gelfling ruler of the dead
