Very rough render of a lighting test for a night-after-the-party scene in the aftermath of the events of How Lovely Are Thy Branches.

L-R: Filif, Nita, and some gatecrasher who wandered into the party from another universe and for some inexplicable reason got very excited about hot cocoa.

Controversial take: I don't think Filif would wear the candles in the "most incredible and stressful" video that's been going around.

I think he would, with the piney equivalent of gritted teeth, admit that it is a neat effect. I think it would be a bit too close to his sometimes-personal experiences of the Lone Power for him.

HOWEVER. There is a punk/heavy metal scene on his home planet that would EAT THAT UP.

Finally finished it!

“That being the case, we should allow them the dignity of accepting what they’ve been destined for. And of knowing that they’re making the best of it: in some cases, not just with acceptance, but great joy.” …

“It seems a lot to ask of them…” Nita said.

“It’s not what you’re asking,” Filif said. “It’s what they’re giving. Gift is a powerful state from which to approach the world...”

It is once again Crossingscon season so it is once again the time for me to post an Oath. Here is Filif’s Defiance.

Its funny how you can set a project down so many times that it becomes completely divorced from your original concept. I don’t even remember what it was but all of the pieces are still there.

Tagging a fic I am (probably) not going to write

So I’m re-reading @dduane‘s “How Lovely Are Thy Branches”, because I need some Holiday Spirit, and there’s one scene where my brain is going, 

Young Wizards (Diane Duane), Carmela/Filif, Light Dom/sub, Fire Play, Candle Play, Oxidation Kink, Christmas

Carmela Rodriguez is absolutely the most pansexual character I’ve ever seen. She could hook up with Loki Laufeysson and be like, “Is that all you got, Red?”
