In case you lot need reminded,

Rowan E. Janiszewski (thornsandwillows) of Rochester, New York, has:

-Bragged about masturbating while working on a massage client. They still practice massage therapy and shares their professional space with Sage Barber.

-Held a knife to my throat and threatened to kill me in front of our mutual partner.

-Claimed to be a faerie that was suffering from 'iron poisoning' from living in the city and pressuring people to put down money on a farmhouse because it was killing them.

-Attempted to fatally crash a car with a passenger in the vehicle.

-Dated systems and asked them to switch to another alter if their partner wasn't feeling up to sex.

-Told *multiple* people suffering from mental illness that it was all past lives and magic and even tried to convince someone off of anti-psychotics.

-Broke into roommates' rooms and read their journals.

-Attempted to poison one person, accidentally succeeded in poisoning another.

-"Accidentally" drugged roommates with edibles.

-Pretended to channel the dead loved ones of the people they're flirting with.

-Has stalked peoples' jobs and attempted to get them fired over false complaints.

-Has sexually pressured/assaulted multiple people.

-Has targetted the inhuman and Little alters of systems.

-Has pretended to channel the alters of systems/plurals.

They are a predator and dangerous to be around.

Hello! I've seen some sources give the summer solstice and some give July 6th as the dates for Kupala. Do you know what the reason is?

here’s an explanation! 

in short, it’s about the difference between the julian and gregorian calendars.

Looking to play What Are My Odds! I'm a massage therapist, but I come to take classes occasionally. (Anatomy, nursing classes, business studies and the like.) I'm not a traditional four year student, I live off campus and come and go. I would set up free massage for students during finals week in the commons.

You’re not a creature built for penance, but you’ll figure it out eventually.

thornsandwillows replied to your post “So apparently the Troth is voting on whether to veto of sustain their...”

What is this now???

The Troth has a ban on Loki. Anybody who wishes to honor Loki must do so after hours and outside of hof boundaries--i.e. in the goddamn woods. I heard through the grapevine they are now voting to either keep or discard this ban.

My understanding is that European heathens, at least the few I’ve met, find this kind of behavior indescribably offensive and it’s probably why they don’t talk to us.

Fic title: A Painful Honesty

[send me a made-up fic title and i’ll tell you what i would write to go with it]

Title: A Painful Honesty

Genre: Angst

Couples: Kell / Lila

This literally already sounds like something I would name a chapter in my Our Next Adventure fic sooo... 

Pitch: Lila finally admits to Kell that she isn’t sure she wants to stay in London and marry him, despite the fact that they now have a child together. Kell blows up at her because of how irresponsible it is to want to abandon her child, she argues back that she’s abandoning the kid to a life of living in the palace and being treated like royalty, and Kell snaps and says something like “Just because they’ll be raised as a prince doesn’t mean they won’t need a mother!” and Lila realizes that maybe - just maybe, Kell is projecting his own difficult and confused childhood onto their baby. I’m not saying Lila will make her decision based on this, but she understands Kell’s struggles and she does love their kid.

I'm assuming Rhaegar planned on following Targaryen tradition and having Rhaenys and Aegon married. (Unless there was something that hinted otherwise that I missed?) How do you think Elia would have felt about her children marrying each other?

Yeah, I’ve thought about this too, and I wonder if that was Rhaegar’s intention. It does seem like a natural course of action, though (for a Targaryen that is). Rhaegar may not have married his sister as his father did his mother, but that was really only because Rhaegar had no sister to marry. I see no reason for Rhaegar not to have his children marry each other, other than a moral one, which again, I don’t think he was morally opposed to it.

As for how Elia would have felt about it, well... It is an unnatural practice in the eyes of most Westerosi and it was only tolerated because the Targaryens were powerful and they once had dragons. Elia may be morally opposed but I wonder how much she could have done to prevent it from happening.

It should be noted that the last match between a male Targaryen and a female Martell was between Daeron Targaryen II and Mariah Martell, and none of their children married their siblings-- but that’s because they only had sons. Among other marriages between Targs and non-Targs, we see that siblings still married each other, so it seems that the practice is simply unavoidable once you marry into the family (at least it is if you’re a woman marrying into the family).

To put it simply, if Rhaegar wanted his children to marry each other, it would happen with or without Elia’s consent. I cannot imagine anyone who wasn’t raised with the practice would find it acceptable or enjoy the match. It could be a huge source of contention between the two.

Then again, there’s always the chance that both of them decide that Incest Is Not Cool and marry them outside of the family (I see u, Robb/Rhaenys shippers). But I really I don’t know if Rhaegar would want his Prince that was Promised to marry anything less than his fellow Chosen One.

If you're doing that aesthetic drawing thing still, then Pastels/Plants and flowers. With whichever character of your seems the most opposite of that.
