The Smallest Flow Tree In The Grove

Everyone at the Maji Market wishes to know me carnally

[smallestflowtree]

Call me Isobel. This is a sideblog for the video game Palia.

I’m in my early 40s, pronouns are she/her.

All my own fan art is tagged my art

I have some Palia stickers in my Redbubble shop

Fan fic:

Afterglow (multi-chap, complete) - When Leta Pavel reappears in Maji's Hollow nine years after her apparent death she and the people she loves have questions to answer and choices to make. Knowing what they know now, can they do anything differently? Will it change anything? Or has it always been too late?

Survivors' Guilt

Your Warmth Still Lingers (one-shot, rated T) - Hodari/Leta, Najuma, angst. The Pavel family has a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad night. But the world keeps turning anyway

Old Ghosts (one-shot, rated T) - Najuma, angst. Mine’s haunted. A lot of things are

The Pavel Girls

Proof of Life (multi-chap, complete, rated T) - After Leta Pavel's husband dies in a tragic accident she is determined to keep everyone else she loves safe, but problems arise in a way she didn't expect. AU.

When You Were Mine

If Your Prayers Don't Get To Heaven (multi-chap, complete, rated E) - Leta Macol is twenty-three years old, and her Uncle has chosen her to help him on a job for the first time - assisting him as explosives expert at the Pavel mines in the mountains outside Bahari City. There she meets the mine owner's son, Hodari Pavel, but unfortunately the path of true love doesn't run smooth.

Message in a Bottle (multi-chap, on-going, rated E) - Hodari Pavel heads to Bahari City to find his newly-pinned girlfriend Leta Macol. And also finds subterfuge, crime, family drama and so many new in-laws.

Follow Me (one-shot) - I challenged myself to write a fic in 250 words. A little something about Hodari and Najuma.

This is a sideblog. My main blog is @leonardslee so I like and follow from there

This blog mainly runs off an untagged queue that I shuffle occasionally, just for larks and to keep things interesting

If you're over 18, why not join us on the Kilima Unhinged discord? Well, there are a lot of good reasons. But you might enjoy it anyway

AHHHHH SHE'S HERE THE BEST GIRL ₍₍⚞(˶>ᗜ<˶)⚟⁾⁾

Saved this because it is so true.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

Palia Singularity 6

Reminder to go read your old fic. It has all your favourite tropes and characters and you get that much-needed reminder of "Oh yeah, I'm actually not half bad at this."

[smallestflowtree]

Apropos of nothing; hippogriffs/hippogryphs (front half eagle, back half horse) were invented in the 16th century by Ludovico Ariosto (ok I had to look that up but I knew they were Old). Hippo being from the Ancient Greek word for horse and a griffin being a mythical creature with the head of an eagle and body of a lion. Interestingly, a roc is also a mythological creature, from the Middle East - an enormous bird of prey. So a griffroc would be an eagle or lion with the head of a roc? Hipporoc would be more accurate maybe but riffroc is a lot more fun to say so I’ll give them this one

Sometimes "rarepair" means "you are literally the only person who posts about this on tumblr dot com" and you have to learn to be okay with that.

the most essential part of a fandom are those people who immediately tell you to write it, draw it, make it when you share your ideas, you have no idea how many fanworks are born just because someone encouraged it

[willgrahamscock]

another great way to make sure this continues is pressing the reblog button and going insane in the tags

[willgrahamscock]

immediately adding ‘fandom conga lines’ to my vocab

I just started Palia this week and I'm only 3 temples in and the protagonist is already making me so sad (/pos). It's been what, 10k years? That means that, depending on how you play and who you play with I suppose, they have nothing. Their family? Dust and ash with likely no tombstone. Childhood home? Belongings? Eaten away by time. No reminders. No history. They might as well have just been born, because there's no proof of their previous life. Imagine not being able to mourn your world because you somehow exist so long after it ended. Imagine never being able to say goodbye to anything you loved. Your family, your friends, even the people you would walk by on the street every day. Do they even know what happened to you? Do they know you still persist? Did they, by some miracle, make it out onto the other side somewhere else in the world? Should you even get your hopes up and risk suffering a second death of the soul? You have nothing and are from nowhere. You're an anomaly. You're an extinct species in a world that has long since moved on from your kind. You are human, and you are so very alone.

i was surprised during the Elderwood arc that Ulfe was french. not a bad surprised, but i was just a little confused when the recipes that came with the update were Burger, French Fries, Pot Pie, Baked Potato, and S'mores. which, if my food history is correct, are all USA in origin? anyways, i just thought that was interesting. I'm loving the new update though! never thought of myself as a horse girl gamer.

RIFFROCS ARE COMING!!!!

And while I'm posting Palia collections... Here's all the portraits you get after maxing each romance (until they add Eshelon, Sifuu, and the mysterious other who I'm hoping will be Taylin, and then I'll get those quickly enough).

Here's me getting passed around by the whole village. Remember that bit from Producers where he'd got all the old ladies' portraits in a cabinet?

Hassian's in the bedroom because he's my favorite (although I really, really like Subira...)

[paliaconfessions]

my storage is always full to bursting for some reason and I don't know whyyy. I build stuff! I only have maybe one of the rarer materials for "just in case". I ruthlessly culled my imense flower collection, and yet! The struggle never ends

[subira-stan]

Sell more shit!

I don’t keep more than 30 of any non-building materials/non-standard cooking ingredients and no more than 5 of any fish or bug.

I make so much more money that way. And I’ve got more room in storage too

It’s amazing how quickly foraged items and things like sernuk antlers and chapaa tails etc build up.

[smallestflowtree]

Every now and again I have to check how much flint, stone, sernuk antlers/hides/meat, chapaa tail/fur/meat, the more easily found forageables, and gems I have. Those are the things I tend to accumulate and throwing it all in the shipping box every now and again makes a bunch of cash

Dead wife montage but it's all slow motion shots of your dead wife throwing grenades and doing backflips and oneshotting the enemy with their long range weapons
