Fun lore from the Lore Keeper's Ledger:

A table of the Shapers! Names, titles, domains, and children/peoples.

Interesting that Omra is not the Shaper but the Awakener of the Beastfolk. Guess he liked to do things different between that and being the only one to not marry a local Aramán power.

We also have month info for the timeline!

Gotta wonder what the full calendar layout is. Trozemere seems indicative of a month named for Trozhna. And there's at least 32 days in this month. Given the Shapers are 7, I wonder if there's 7 weeks per month and 7 months per year, alongside the already known 7 days per week. It would make for a year only slightly shorter than our own, at 49 weeks instead of 52. And 49 day months would encompass having a 32nd day.

Anyways, that's the new lore this month, enjoy!

still thinking about luis in that mirror scene telling us azune's face is clearly related to both his parents (he is their son), but also the red hair came out of nowhere, both his parents have dark hair - which means there's a chance that not only is the hair also a physical sorcery trait, the sorcery gene (as would make sense with what we know about his family) was buried real deep in there a long time ago, and neither of his parents were aware they had it

anyway quick and slightly messy edit bc i've just got a laptop trackpad atm but now im thinking about a version of azune that wasn't so changed by his magic, who was in every way his parents son (and i wonder if the real azune thinks about this face too sometimes)

[your-turn-to-role]

.....so i've been making a thjazi supercut lately of every thjazi scene we've gotten in chronological order

up until now the most recent (timeline wise) scene we had prior to thjazi's execution was the golden orchard scene with thimble and occtis

but this cold open goes in the middle of the two

meaning until we get a new scene that happens in between those 8 years, it's gonna jump right from "it never will be!" to the opening of episode 1

[your-turn-to-role]

other people have already put together some very detailed and useful timelines for the events of campaign four, but i've found it really useful lately to have the real world equivalents of the days of the week alongside, so!

friday

the day that for the schemers lasted three episodes! and all that took place there, from hal's library trip to azune's investigation of the palazzo to the crow keepers fight in the sewers! (and yes, as someone in my notes pointed out the other day, kora did ask for an end-of-day task on a friday)

soldiers leave ulbid's, visit hawthorn's grove, end at the wraith tree

everyone wants thaisha

(as per @trailertrashgrog’s suggestion vol 2)

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

ppl are so annoying “you can’t paint ur bedroom pink you’re an adult” i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige

[hojolove]

I had a sales woman in furniture store try and tell me not to buy a hot bubblegum pink loveseat because she wanted me to “think about the future”

Bitch, I am thinking about the future. I already got a hot bubblegum pink couch at home and now I need a loveseat to go with it.

[madgastronomer]

when I first bought my house, I announced my decision to paint my bedroom purple. I had wanted a purple bedroom for thirty damn years, you fucking bet I was gonna have one now. My friends decided, for some reason, that I meant what one of them referred to as “14 year old girl purple” (through what’s wrong with the colors a 14 year old girl chooses, I don’t know, even if they’re not what I want as an adult). They didn’t believe me until they saw the color on the actual wall, even thought they helped me pick out paints. My mother, meanwhile, decided to get worried that if I painted my bedroom a “dark purple”, it would be “depressing”. As if, with an entire house to live in, I would spend all my time in the bedroom, which I wanted to be dark because I would be sleeping in there. In the damn dark.

I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.

But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, “Oh yeah, that’s really pretty.” (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)

And the moral of the story is: Fuck ‘em, please yourself. Either they’ll come around, or you can safely ignore every question of taste they opine about for the rest of time.

[themintycupcake]

This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be “mature” about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that I’m 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, I’m just like “marriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.” If they don’t like it then they don’t have to come to my wedding.

I would like you all to view my office. I’m thirty and my rainbow room is awesome, people can fight me

[spuffybot]

I’m thirty and my first big furniture purchase was a custom coffin shaped coffee table that opens up and is lined with purple crushed velvet. I would have loved it at 13 and I love it now. Growing up doesn’t mean you have to abandon what makes you happy.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I have told this story before, and I will tell it again, because I am An Old now and repeating stories forever is our prerogative:

When I bought my house, the kitchen was multiple shades of dingy white. It was dismal, but it was now mine! So went to the hardware store for paint (well, several trips, painted swatches on panel, etc — I’m very picky. But this was the final, ‘real’ trip). It was a busy day in the paint section. There were at least five people behind me in line.

Now, remember, latex paint is slightly lighter and brighter when wet than it is when dry. And I’d decided to paint my kitchen candy-apple red. The hardware store employee took my gallon off the Paint Jiggler and cracked it open to put a dab on the top, revealing the most incredibly deep pink, and behind me I hear the entire line of people say,

“Oh my god.”

…in perfect chorus.

I did not realize up until that moment that shocking a crowd of strangers with my paint color choices was a life goal, but at that moment I felt an absolutely overwhelming sense of achievement.

This is the door to my garage. It used to be white. Live your best life.

Mischief the cat says “Who goes there?”

Every visiting friend says “This is so cool.”

If you’re looking for an excuse to do some decorating that will make your soul sing, this entire thread is your sign to do it and don’t look back!

I’m 35. I have been told my place looks like maybe a LP fan lives there.

Not sure what they mean.

[dykepuffs]

When I first moved into my place, I painted the spare room, that eventually became my office, lime green, the kind of lime green that glows down the corridor when I open the door - The colour was only available as an “accent colour” in the section of paints intended for children’s playrooms, and in the shop I got a lot of “Oh your son will love this!” And from people I knew I got a lot of “Oh well, you’re 21 now, you’re basically a teenager, this is a terrible idea, you’ll hate it and need to pull out all the furniture to repaint it.” And I have to report that I am now in my forties and my office still looks like this, and it makes me smile every time I see it.

[marzipanandminutiae]

this is such a modern idea, too

not decorating trends; those have always existed. but the idea that color and decoration is inherently childish

this is the dining room at the Eustis Estate in Milton, Massachusetts, from 1878 (where I used to work, briefly). the walls are TEXTURED MICA SHIMMER on a green background. Adult Space For Adults!

A jewelry shop in Paris c. 1901. kids can’t buy jewelry!

who can forget the classic 1950s colorful bathroom? I’m not a huge fan, but still! adult space! bright colors; decorative designs!

meanwhile “you’re immature if you like Art Nouveau” is a hot take I’ve really, seriously seen on this webbed site (only once, thank the gods). I don’t know who started this, but I’m going to kill them

[taraljc]

I think a lot of it stems from the ubiquitous Waterhouse prints that were sold on college campuses for 20 years. like why would I get a free pass if it were Monet instead Western culture is stupid. The entire point of being an adult is breakfast for dinner and cake for breakfast and dying with the most toys.

[catgirlralsei]

instantly decided to reblog when i got to GROWING UP DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

[beatrice-otter]

The examples of decorated homes above are both either modern or upper class, which makes it easy to dismiss because “sure the rich people have beautiful homes” and “sure, modern middle-class people have lots of color in their homes.”

So here’s two examples of traditional Norwegian farmhouse interiors. You know. The kinds of places peasants live in.

This type of painting is called “rosemaling” and today you usually find it on, like, carved wooden bowls and such that are only used for decoration. But back two centuries ago, it was very common to find the interiors of homes covered in it, in projects that were painted little by little over the decades. Because it’s beautiful to look at, paint is the cheapest way of decorating your house, and what else are you going to do on the long winter nights when it’s too dark and cold to work outdoors?

But mostly, they did it because it made them happy, and it was beautiful.

Those old peasants were on to something, I think.

[lizardlicks]

My dream kitchen is butcher block counter tops, powder blue cabinets, yellow walls and terracotta hexagon tile floors. something bright, airy, cozy and looks like a place people live and cook meals in, not a piece in hardware store show floor.

[atopfourthwall]

When Viga and I moved into the rental house in 2016, we had been promised that we could paint the house. We got a phone call while on a trip with them telling us “Yeah, sorry, but because the company JUST got this house, they want it painted in their corporate colors.” The corporate colors were a hideous shade of brown everywhere. We hated it. Despised it. We would have been happy with just plain white walls since it’d be easier to decorate. When we moved into our current house, we were damn certain of one thing: OUR HOUSE WILL BE COLORFUL. WE WILL PAINT ALL THE WALLS. So yeah, that’s why the reviewer basement is red, my office is blue, the living room is yellow and orange and blue depending on the wall. Sure, we have some white walls, too, but our bedroom is lavender and my bathroom is red and IT’S MY DAMN HOUSE SO I’LL DO WHAT I DAMN WELL PLEASE TO IT. Don’t like it? Buy the house off of us and then you can decide what to color it. =)

Quick reference table of what we know (and what we don't) about the Shapers

(Ilumi's Blanket is the name of the rings around Aramán - since her Barrowdell is, as far as we know, the only one that has a passive global manifestation instead of being a specific geographic location, it would make sense for it to be extraterrestrial, but we have no confirmation)

[see-arcane]

Considering Azune’s stellar triple agent manipulator track record thus far, contrasted with Thjazi’s penchant for daring roguish confrontation and escapes, I have to imagine that part of what made Thjazi eye Azune as an ideal plant for the Arcane Marshals was seeing that kid in action once his main concern wasn’t praying for a meal or active combat

Like, I can picture the Torn Banner crew in some spot between battlefields, trying to dodge Sundered House forces, get 99% made and bracing for a fight, an arrest, something that fucks the whole team—only for a kid probably still a year and change away from puberty to stroll up in full, “Evening, officers, can we help you?” :)

Ten minutes later he’s got them thinking they’re talking to the authorities’ biggest little fan, he wants to be a Revolutionary Guard when he grows up, wow, do they all get swords like that that’s so coool :o

Fifteen minutes later he has an autograph from one and a sandwich from another, can’t make rank if you don’t put on some weight, kid, stay safe, tell your chaperones to just watch the noise, alright, ha ha. And off they go

Azune, 12 going on 13: Okay, we’re good :3

Torn Banner: …

Azune, through a mouthful of sandwich: Want some?

Hello! I have finally uploaded Radio Silence onto YouTube! I will say it is a one act so it has been greatly condensed and I had to Americanize it (annoying I know but I had a month and we couldn't do accents in a month lol) other than that everything is basically the same though!
