I'm losing it over the idea of Tim and Jason forming the tightest sibling bond out of all the batkids but it's a toss up whether they're at each other's throats, civil, or just making nothing but minecraft villager sounds at each other just because it pisses Bruce off because he KNOWS they're making fun of him going "hm" at everything

Commission Price List

[howlingowl-wra]

A collection of gifts that were wrapped along with a card that was set on the very top were arranged in another separate larger box was set outside of Yainah’s door early in the morning of her birthday.  

As she starts to wrap things from top to bottom, the card would be on the very top of all of the packages.  Signed by a number of different people, it would read:

Grandma Yainah,

There are no words to describe how much we value and treasure everything you do for those at the Howling Owl.  From every time you come and do a baking class or just gift us with your presence, we all find ourselves incredibly blessed to be a part of anything you do.  We all truly adore you and appreciate all of the hard work you put into the Howling Owl.  We hope that your day is wonderful as you deserve nothing less.

Happy Birthday to you! All of the Howling Owl Staff.

Located directly underneath the card, the woman would find a small jewelry box with a silver owl pendant attached to a long chain.  The stomach area of the owl would be made out of jade and the feet, wings and eyes would have tiny aquamarines surrounding it to tie in both her name as well as her birthstone.

The next box down would be a more square box and inside of that is a number of circular tins filled with a number of different tea leaves that had been harvested from the fields at the Howling Owl.  A number of different kinds of teas along with different flavors would be present.

Just below that box would be another, slightly larger and heavier box would contain a carving of a serpent that is also made out of jade. The final box in that pile would contain a large owl shaped cookie jar that would be filled to the top with all of Yainah’s favorite cookies.  

Then, set next to the gift boxes is a large cake box with a jade green bow on top of it with a large owl shaped cake made with chocolate angel food cake and paper thin ‘feathers’ all over it.

earth magic draws on the power and energy within the land itself. earth magic comes from two major domains: the stone, minerals, crystals, and gems of the land, and the flora and fauna of the living world. creatures connected to the earth are patient, sometimes stubborn, and care deeply about the history and balance of the natural world.

The Reunion

She came back at long last,   

One fateful evening.

I couldn’t believe it,

Not even dreaming,

I could see her again.                              

And yet there she stood,

Meilin, dearest cousin,

Over her own grave, 

Eyes glowing deathly blue,

Head bowed in respect.                           

Respect be damned! I ran,

Right into her arms,

Guard up, sword down, she braced,

For a hug not soon,

To be her last from me.                            

I wept and thanked stars,

Moons and sun, everyone,

And everything ‘round, 

That brought Meilin back home,

This quiet moment.                                

Meanwhile, Mei had just learned,

Of her father’s fall,

His name engraved by hers. 

Though her eyes couldn’t,

Her heart wept beside mine.                  

I brought her to my home,

Our home, a new home,

With the Howling Owls,

Brewed tea and made treats,

For the long night ahead.                       

We shared our stories,

Hers of rising dangers,

In Icecrown’s vast wastes,

Restless souls, broken skies,

Why she lives again.                            

I still feel her iced touch,

As I explained all,

‘Bout her dad’s broken heart,

My fall to shadow,

Just fleeting, but Daru…                          

My uncle struggled,

He lost his only child.

While mine brought me Light,

He could only fall,

Despair won in the end.                          

If only he’d stayed,

To see his daughter there,

Her heart sinking then,

Hard realizations,

For past and future.                              

Morning came but we stayed,

Talking all throughout, 

The day, reconnecting.

It was blissful, sweet,

Dreams made reality.                            

Yet like the spirits,

Meilin was restless,

Our temple days long gone,

She couldn’t sit and read,

While the world called out.                 

Word reached us soon enough,

She had to leave me.

Her King’s call to action,

It demanded it,

But I couldn’t accept it.                      

I begged Meilin, “stay.”

Icy eyes pierced me,

In protest; she couldn’t.

Though I knew that too well,

It couldn’t stop the tears.                      

That final day, we hugged.

She whispered promises,

To come back, but still, 

I worried, after all, 

Uncle had promised too.                      

( Here’s Yainah retelling of her and Meilin’s long awaited reunion for @howlingowl-wra​ ‘s Poetry Night! )

To Kill and Be Killed

CW: attempted suicide

Ophene never decided to kill herself.

Well, not just herself, at least. She was part of the equation on a simple technicality, because she decided to kill it all.

She was already dead when she died. She’d shot a bolt of arcane into Eradine’s mouth as she fought for breath, another binding rune glowing harsh purple at her fingertips. Eradine was going to put her down like the rabid beast she was, and Ophene hadn’t seen justice before her—just her own end. So she’d shot a bullet so fast that Eradine hadn’t even seen it. She felt it, though. She screamed once, and it was the same short, high noise that she’d always made when she was surprised.

“Oh!”

And then she’d drawn in the breath that detonated the pinprick of a mana bomb lodged securely in her lungs by her wife.

TOMORROW!

[noonmutter]

Peace and Quiet

The door creaked gently when he pushed it open, and he reminded himself to oil the hinges again. Just like the other times, he remembered almost immediately afterward that he had yet to get anymore oil, and grumbled under his breath.

Crossing the small apartment to rummage through his rucksack, Tanner found his notepad and scribbled a short reminder to go shopping in the morning, then pinned it just above the doorknob so he couldn’t miss it again. A squeaky door was the sign of a poor carpenter.

That done, he sat down on the bed ever so carefully, not wanting to crush it, and listened to it struggle to accommodate him for a while before he let himself relax. Into the rucksack he dove again, this time finding a simple, handmade knife and a few blocks of soft wood.

As he began whittling, his thoughts wandered back to the hot springs earlier that evening. People, smiling. Laughing. Having a good time. With each other. Talking about old, fond memories. About siblings. About children.

My late husband.

His hand stilled for a moment as Yainah’s voice drifted across his consciousness. Watching the happy couples doing what happy couples did… he had grown accustomed to that. It didn’t feel like much of anything anymore; he could even enjoy watching others in the throes of puppy love of acting like they’d been married ten years already.

But…that one had resonated. It continued to resonate as the knife began moving again, and he occasionally flicked a wood shaving away.

In silence, the block of wood slowly became a figure, smiling, chubby, patting its belly. Carefully, a little floppy chef’s hat took form, and a rumpled apron too. Tiny round ears, a tinier fu manchu beard. A stubby bud of a tail, suggestions of tufted fur at the elbows.

After about an hour, Tanner slowly rotated the figurine under lamplight, critically inspecting his handiwork.

A few more adjustments here and there saw it joining a long line of others on a shelf. The fat ones had been Ami’s favorites, and the smiling ones, she said, made him smile while he made them. She would approve of this one, he knew.

With one last look at dozens of little wooden faces, Tanner sighed quietly, then shut off the lights and went to sleep.

( mentions of @jadeblossom-journeys and the rest of the folks at the @howlingowl-wra social )

[noonmutter]

For Tanner - 10. What ways do you say ‘I love you’ without actually saying it?

Tanner hummed thoughtfully, tugging at his beard, then waved his hand toward a pile a wood shavings on the bench in front of him before sweeping them aside. “I do not often find myself in a position to say the words to begin with, now that I have left home. Saying it in gestures seems more likely to me, these days.”

“I imagine I do it through the things that I make and that I give freely, though that is not something that I do with romantic intent; I simply wish to make something for someone who would appreciate it, or has need of it. A chair for the sweet Pandaren woman who adores her ‘gaybies;’ a bed for an engaged pair of entertaining ladies, and their coveted Pillowgar.” The tauren chuckled to himself.

“It is still love when it is friendship, yes?” He looked down at the floor as he reached for the broom. “Though I suppose perhaps these are...rather grand gestures for opening volleys. Oh well.”

( @jadeblossom-journeys @othiriel-corvire @dratiniwearingawig )

[jadeblossom-journeys]

"Well said, Tanner." Yainah sets a hand on her chest, nodding with a gentle smile. "Though know that while the grand gestures are great, we love you back for you."

[jadeblossom-journeys]

Winter’s Veil for the Howling Owl

Arriving one night for each member of the Howling Owl, a parsel comes. Inside the carefully wrapped gifts are a giant plush blanket, fluffy couch pillow, and a hand-knitted owl hat fitted for each individual alongside a simple note in Yainah’s script. 

To My Favourite Owls, 

We wish you a wonderful Winter’s Veil and a happy New Year! From our family to yours, may your days be filled with warmth and joy, kindness and rest. 

We look forward to seeing you in January. Until then, enjoy some time with your family and friends!

Love, 

The Jadeblossoms
