Hey; just checking in, did you get hit with the Ao3 author curse? I genuinely love your writing, and noticed that you haven't posted in quite a while :( no obligation to post of course but honestly I got kind of worried when I saw you haven't posted anything in quite a bit!

Yeah, I got cursed a little bit. Some health problem flare-ups happened, and college is also kicking my ass...

It kind of tanked my motivation, unfortunately. I only got the itch to write again just recently.

I'm completely okay though, so no need to worry about me!! Still writing, albeit slower now, and there's no long-term problems at all. Thanks for checking in, I really appreciate it :)

Despite it being in progress for a long time I'm not particularly happy with chapter 16. Something about it feels poorly done or disjointed or something. I'll hopefully identify and fix the problem in the future.

Why Does Shakra Do This?

Because in her homeland it's a sign of respect. (No, seriously!)

We learn a lot about Shakra's cultural background throughout Silksong. She comes from a tribe of proud warriors who adhere to traditions of travel and combat. Where she's from, one's weapon is attached to one's name as a signifier of identity, and there are special rules around how one greets strangers on their travels. When meeting a fellow warrior, you say "poshanka" while presenting your battle-stance and weapon:

That stance is an important detail, because the physical way you greet someone says a LOT about your cultural principles. To give two examples: The bow is an ancient sign of deference, in which you make yourself smaller, look to the ground, and lean forward in a way that leaves you vulnerable to attack. All clear indicators of submission and trust. The handshake meanwhile originated as a greeting between warriors, in which you present your dominant hand to indicate you have no intention of drawing your weapon. An indicator of peaceful intention but not submission, as to maintain each warrior's pride.

Shakra's greeting takes the prideful aspects of the handshake to its logical extreme. In her tribe you show respect not by lowering your guard, but by raising it. This implies acknowledging the skill of your fellow warrior is considered more important than establishing yourself as peaceful or friendly. The greeting declares: "I consider you dangerous enough to feel threatened. Here is my fighting-style and weapon of choice, the two things most integral to my identity."

With this context in mind, we can connect the dots as to why Shakra lowers herself to speak to Hornet. In nature, eye-level is an indicator of size that translates to threat and authority. Having to look up at someone while speaking to them makes you feel small, establishing a difference in power. For a tribe of proud warriors who base respect around acknowledging one another as dangerous, looming over a fellow warrior so that they feel small could be perceived as a challenge to that warrior's pride.

Thus in Shakra's tribe it became common practice to lower yourself to another's eye-level while speaking, as a physical indication that you consider them an equal and intend to speak to them as such.

Explanation of what this does for anyone confused!

[pukicho]

I wanted to read a fantasy book so I went to r/fantasy on reddit and also checked out my local bookstore: What the FUCK. These books SUCK. How do you fuckers read this shit? You IDIOTS. I have never seen such an uncreative "creative" genre in my life. You all looked at Tolkien and decided 'well that's good enough' - There has been almost no innovation in this space AT ALL for 50 years. Books are dying because publishers and authors alike are afraid of making something REALLY weird and twisted. You'd rather regurgitate the greats. I'm gonna pick up a pen and show you how it's done. You fuckers. Anyone have any good recommendations?

[crowsoutsidemywindow]

This isn’t really an ask so feel free to ignore this lol. I just wanted to share something that i find “If Darkheart was a parent” coded since Steel is the child of Darkheart XD https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8S69AAk/

dear lord that thing is alive. someone put it down.

also yeah, darkheart would probably do that, except he'd do it on purpose
