#elves are native coded

[yarpharp]

The one thing I have a lot of personal, PERSONAL beef with about the entire Solas/Elvhen vs. City Elves/Dalish thing is simple: a lot of people in this fandom keep ignoring that this is one huge allegory for generational trauma and colonialism. Including Solas.

Maybe it hits home harder with me, especially because the real world inspirations the writers admit to using are Natives. And boy, I see the bones that make up the Dalish are absolutely Native-coded.

Constantly hunted? Constantly looked down upon for trying to keep to their traditions, even if the memories aren't as complete as they once were? Their very positive views on magic and the spiritual that run counter to common belief? Their religion is outlawed by the DA equivalent of the Christian church? The illegal verses of the Chant speaking about Chartan? The facial tattoos, the traveling camps, their attention to raising wild breeds of painted horses (the famed Dalish All-Bred in DA:I), the harts, following the migrations of the halla?

And then factor in the City Elf vs. Dalish experience. It reflects a lot of the same issues we have now. "City Indians" vs. "Rez Indians." The arguments about blood-quantum parallel a lot with the "elf-blooded" shit in DA. They don't have the ears, but they were raised like an elf! It reminds me of a very small dialogue in The Masked Empire between Fiona and Michel de Chevin, where Fiona immediately clocked him as half-elf because he never treated her poorly or called her slurs and subconsciously ducked his head slightly in doorways like he expected to bump his head in an alienage shack. Michel clings to his Chevalier code desperately, because if anyone found out he was half-elf, he'd be tossed back into the Alienages. It's peak "You're mixed but you can pass as white" coding in my eyes.

So then Solas rolls up, shitting on all the existing elves, calling them "children" and decrying them as idiots clinging to barely-remembered bits of history.... Good God, you ass. Like, I get it. I'm sure if one of my ancestors appeared before me and saw what has become of our people, they'd be horrified. But idk, there is also pride to be had in resisting and enduring and outlasting every government's attempt to erase what they see as a subpar culture.

When he asks "Did I judge the Dalish too harshly?" I always wanna just reach through the screen and go "YEAH ACTUALLY"

every day I have to fight the urge to headcanon Henry Oak as Native

[bodysnatch3r]

it is WAY too late for this to be coherent but i'm having a lot of thoughts, given the recent discussions in fandom, about bellara's two choices as well as her (very misplaced) guilt complex, and how i've seen interpretations of it as an inherently antisemitic plotline, the same way it is incontrovertibly an assimilationist/colonialist/anti-indigenous plotline painting reclamation of the past as a fallible, foolish affair (which is on bioware for even deciding to have indigenous and jewish cultures as the blueprint for elves in the first place with no rhyme or reason concerning what to use and what not to, fuck)

but there is a dimension that i've not seen explored yet, and that is the very specific anti-zionist jewish diasporic perspective, which actually pushes back against reclamation of a mythical homeland in favour of the here and the now.

the diasporic/doikayt jewish communities choose to embrace the identity of diasporism in ways that explicitly reject the alyiah, the "right of return" of the jewish people to palestine–now indissolubly connected to the colonialist, nationalist and ethnofascist project of the state of israel. it is particularly a political and religious response to the horror of zionism as colonial force, and pushes back against zionism's "negation of the diaspora" as a founding tenet of said colonialist project.

in this current climate, in this moment in history, as a doikayt jew who's been struggling with my very identity as a jew, as a diasporic jew, as an antizionist jew, as an observing jew, bellara's story resonated with me immensely. how do we reckon with a past that's used for evil? how do we reckon with the pain of our people when it is used to cause more pain in return? in bellara's words, "how do we stand against that?"

read through this lens, the archive plotline can attempt to answer these questions. both options place emphasis on how to carry the past into a more just future, and whether or not this is done with a clean slate, or through careful reassessment and consideration of what the past–including the mythic past, including the past we build our cultural identities on–can teach us. what to carry with us and what to let go of.

unfortunately, the spectre of bioware's writing choices hang over the writing regardless of this reading. the elves are not just jewish-coded, they're also heavily influenced by native peoples, for whom diaspora and the return of and to ancestral lands is a totally different, actually anticolonial issue. bioware wants to have their cake and eat it too; they want to bring two diametrically opposed views of diasporic culture into conversation, when anticolonial sentiment in judaism and anticolonial sentiment in native/indigenous cultures are incompatible to begin with.

I just wanted to thank you for compiling the resource about the native-coding of the elves in dragon age. as a first nations person, I immediately was able to draw the connection not only between the narrative parallels, but also the visuals associated with the elves (ancient and dalish, both).

their art is eerily similar to ledger art, the environs draw direct parallels to the plains, pacific northwest, etc. the flavor text found throughout inquisition directly parallels western expansion and what was written by the church, travelers, trappers, and settlers. the way the writers seem to want to wash their hands of native-coding so that they aren't held accountable for their metatextual racism is aggravating, but I'm always happy to see another native person reclaim the elf.

Thank you! I hope you will enjoy the 2nd edition I am almost done with even more. My lovely wonderful amazing girlfriend helped out with reviewing my citation and style, so now I just need to do some final revisions and I will be ready to share it sometime this week, actually.

Hi!

I'm currently actively working on creating a fantasy setting for my friends to play DnD in. And I'm in the stages of creation before i commit to heavy codifying for the purpose of efficiency, and I want to ask.

I am very heavily put off by the western conventional fantasy races, both by their ties to white supremacy (Elves) and the over racism. (Orcs, Ogres and Dark Elves), and decided that it would be for the best to heavily deviate and instead make my own ancestries inspired by the mythology of my country (Slavic).

What this got me thinking about is, if you have any insights specifically as to how fantasy often uses Black coding to skew creatives and writers into reproducing racist portrayals of Black coded races, through othering or otherwise.

Any particular species both in fantasy and Sci-fi that you maybe remember from your life that struck you as particularly Black? Be it a design choice or a cultural choice.

I would like to make more sure that the ancestries I make do not end up making themselves unappealing and distasteful to my Black players, on the basis of a trope i might have missed that is not as commonly talked about.

Thank you!

The only portrayal that I felt was overtly Black in Sci-fi (in a cool way) were the Predators in the Alien vs Predator movie. And that's because Scar had locs, the final girl was Black, and they performed scarification as a rite of passage. That was enough for me! I refuse to see anything else in their design 🤣

As for the rest, no tbh. You already mentioned the fantasy races; while orcs were influenced by antiblack and anti-Native racism, I never "saw" myself in them. Why would I choose to see myself in that, you know? The best way to see myself in elves and dwarves and hobbits would have been to see Black actors in those roles. And I didn't see much if any of that in the stuff I watched growing up 😅 so I'm sorry that I can't be more help here.

I'll leave this here though, for Black fans more versed in fantasy and DnD to leave their opinions- I'm sure they can help!

[famousinfamous]

so I was thinking about the elven language earlier and you know how in the first book, Alden?, says “to humans it just sounds like a baby babbling” or something like that, which insinuates that to them, it doesn’t? So like, what does it sound like?

Because when Sophie starts speaking it she doesn’t notice which is pretty weird but she also doesn’t realise when Fitz starts speaking it which is even weirder. Plus since the only way we see it represented is English it makes it seem like Sophie is almost decoding it instead of actually speaking it like someone would with they’re first language? I dunno if that makes sense but think of it as how when you start speaking a different language your brain learns what the words mean, in English, and then takes its meaning from that. Like how if you where a native speaker when someone says ‘table’ in what ever language you think of a table but if you weren’t you would be like ‘what does that mean?’ And then think ‘oh they’re saying table’ and then think of a table. I mean if you started living somewhere where they spoke said language you’d probably start thinking in the language eventually but you get my point. So it reads like Sophie’s subconscious is programmed to translate what she’s hearing into English automatically before it even reaches her conscious brain. Idk maybe I’m just looking too far into it but if I’m right that’d be a pretty cool way to include Sophie’s upbringing in the way she acts day to day since I’ve seen a lot of people saying that want more of her human habits to show. I don’t at all buy this next part but I’ve always thought that elves were just like, enhanced humans if that makes sense? So let’s just say right, that the elven language works the same way for everyone as it does for Sophie and it’s like a code that they are born with the ability to decode into English or whatever language really, it doesn’t matter. And it works this way because originally it was a code used when elves first started existing because humans were all mad that they were magic and shit and wanted to kill them so they used this code to communicate. AND the first elves were created by a powerful family who wanted to make god like beings but knew they wouldn’t be able to do it with their limited abilities so they created Demi gods with very long lifetimes (because I’m a strong believer that the elves aren’t truly immortal) and fairly powerful abilities who would make the gods. Said god/s is Elysian (and maybe another five characters that represent the five rivers that make up Elysian but probably not) also the project is called the Vacker legacy. This is the most ridiculous crack theory I’ve ever come up with. I’m very proud of myself.

[dirthe]

a question, or rather, a dragon age centric vent (not negative on the behalf of da, surprisingly)

is it common to feel immense shame regarding love of dragon age — I look at all of the writing and artwork I have left abandoned and know it's not for lack of drive, but for fear of sharing it. poor, critically unstable health has made me more sensitive to the perception of my artwork. I have so little time, so little energy to make it outside of owed client and commercial work ; but when it comes to dragon age, specifically, I find it's an artificial hindrance. people talk about the series as if it is a deeply personal trigger ; "the worst fandom," as it's been named (and perhaps rightfully so, but after years in ffxiv, I beg to differ or at least contest) and it keeps me quiet. to exist feels like stepping on toes, but I know that my transformative, oft-transgressive take on the series would be a personal comfort if I embraced it more fully.

me and my partner have a rich, luscious worldbuild that revolves around our inquisitors. it overlaps and includes the worldbuilding I have had for 5-10+ years for my other elven characters (verrot, namely, and the mattokian) ; and yet I feel embarrassed caring so deeply about it. so much so it's been 6+ months and I have yet to draw a completed illustration of simultas. I apologize every time I reference dragon age on twitter and bluesky. I mean, I made this account to quarantine my thoughts.

to me, this becomes especially offensive when I realize that dragon age is a fantasy series with one of the most overt representations of indigenous-coded elves (for better or for worse, but it's mostly non-natives that react so aggressively). being native, having native characters, has always been important to me. and it upsets me that it's not fans of the franchise that have made me feel bad (compared to ffxiv, bg3) but people who make it a point to tell you how they used to love it, but do so no longer. it feels like one of the most socially acceptable franchises to belittle someone over. for years, I thought the games were textually, factually bad because every time I talked about wanting to play them, 50+ former fans would tell me how terrible they + the community were. and I'm realizing it's no worse than any other fandom. it's definitely put a dent in my already enfeebled creativity.

[ceescedasticity]

Another thought (actually the reason I got on lead poisoning in the first place): Did the elves use metal in Cuiviénen?

There are three… three and a half? options here:

No, not at all

Yes, but only metals found in mostly-pure "native" form, chiefly gold, silver, copper

Yes, they'd invented smelting

Yes, they'd also started producing alloys

The argument against smelting is that it doesn't really fit with the one-with-the-world, pastoral vibe of Cuiviénen. Smelting takes a lot of fuel (axes! oh noes!), it often produces toxic byproducts, it's kinda (shudder) industrial. On the other hand, on Earth it developed a very long time ago it's not the only kind of early material culture production process that gets icky… (Tanning, prominently, but you can use hides without tanning them if you maintain them carefully so that's not necessarily present.)

Most important teaching the Valar offered: the cheat codes to engage in metallurgy, tanning, etc. without poisoning themselves and their surroundings? Or you could say the elves already knew how to get metal to do what they wanted without all that.

So:

Kinda want to do another poll on tanning now…

[cdsillylilyposting]

And for further reference, one of the reasons why Cairne was loved when he was introduced with the tauren in 2001's Warcraft III was that whilst he was a peace loving character and stereotypically Native American, he was shown to be an awesome warrior and whenever someone menaced the tauren, he'd crush them to dust. This included humans, dwarves and Elves.

Like one of Cairne Bloodhoof's first scenes in the game was finding out that his new Orc friends were being menaced by Alliance forces and stomping the ground so hard, that a nearby moutain collapsed and joining the battle against the humans.

Infact, whilst Warcraft always had issues with depicting non white cultures as monsters, prior to 2011, they at least tried to depict the playable ones sympathetically and humans, dwarves and elves that oppressed them were almost always depicted as villains.

Around the point of 2011, Blizzard's writing somehow got even worse and they switched to "white humans, Dwarves and elves are NEVER EVER wrong and even the playable orcs, trolls and tauren are savage barbarians."

Like in 2012's Mists of Pandaria, a Dwarf character, previously depicted as a misogynistic and racist villain with a hatred of races based non white cultures and a personal history of warcrimes, was suddenly depicted as a heroic character out to protect the Pandaren from the tauren and orcs whom wanted to enslave them.

And this relates to how Baine is a hated character, he's used to make the other tauren look like evil savages and to justify any atrocities committed against the tauren and the Horde.

Like Baine is basically a Native American character from a terrible old novel where the Native American is a good guy, unlike the other Native American characters, because he rejects his savage people, knows the superiority of the white man and sides with them on every issue.

Sure the hypothetical racist novel may claim that the above Native American character is a great diplomat and warrior, but the audience will disagree.

Like Warcraft's writing team says Baine Bloodhoof is a great warrior and diplomat when anyone with sense reading or paying attention to the story can see that Baine is just an Uncle Tom used to demonize tauren.

And I'll note the original Tom from Uncle Tom's Cabin, despite the novel playing into alot of African American stereotypes, actively refused to give out the location of escaped slaves under torture.

Sorry, I know this is a Lily Orchard critical blog, but I do feel you have to be aware of this aspect of Warcraft when you cover her Warcraft posts. Like the writing in Warcraft is SUPER RACIST and horrible!

She's also kinda right on her criticism of Anduin, whom whilst the writers depict him as a true hero, is frequently criticized as a textbook Mighty Whitey and sometimes his behavior towards POC coded comes off as condescending due to Blizzard's poor quality writing with (hopefully) subconscious racism.

Like at the end of BFA, Anduin mansplains how the Horde's system of government is inherently flawed, unlike the white human's flawless absolute monarchy system, nevermind that the Horde warchief system was comparatively more democratic than the Alliance's HighKing system.

As the saying goes, even a Broken Clock is right twice a day and alot of Lily's criticism of Anduin and Baine have some merit to them.

This is coming from a big Steven Universe stan whom really disagreed with her video on the series.

I like Anduin

This is a destined hero of light enjoying blog

And I disagree with your opinions that CD/Lily is correct about Anduin Wrynn, that being broadly: "Anduin=bad baby man"

Maybe I just like a hero full of self-doubt but still a drive to do right and take the best course of action *Looks at Sanguinius at the gate of eternity and Nods* also self sacrifice

Lukewarm: Solas has no hair because he got so stressed all of it fell out.

Hot: Uthenera can be hard on the physical body, and Solas having slept so long in Uthenera post-Veil Creation meant his hair fell out. Will it return? Give him a century.

Volcanic: Patrick Weekes based Elves off of Natives, and many Native cultures observe a tradition wherein they shave their heads in mourning until the grief has passed. Solas, mourning his People and Mythal's murder and everything else, shaved his head and keeps it that way as a symbol of his grief.

giggling over this script snippet that maya hawke apparently posted saying “one of his elves” versus santa’s elves vs the santa stuff in TFS/the guy in a santa suit that was in the play in earlier versions (not the version i saw) versus brenner sr’s white santa-esque beard versus the fake beard on the santa costume versus all of the murray vs yuri “he shaved his beard to conceal his identity, tricky American” stuff and the fake beards for the Dark of the Moon play in TFS versus the constant focus on how in-show Brenner is clean-shaven versus Sahta’s Elves making gifts/presents and Brenner referring to powers as a “gift” ans VR brenner referring to soteria as a “gift” vs mike saying he likes presents etc and santa coming down the chimney versus victor’s fireplace stuff and then also all of henward’s jesus coding + the references to mr newby’s nativity scene baby jesus in TFS versus christmas & jesus’ birthday versus brithdaygate & henry’s birthday still not being revealed/the Edward timeline creel murders being on will’s birthday versus all of the will-brenner sr parallel stuff and, and-

(and also *lotr* elves being immortal but technically theyre immortal via a weird type of reincarnation versus all of tfs brenner’s weird “not aging” stuff & the weird ‘wrong body/people being other people/you have to be your dad’ reincarnation-esque stuff)

Humans

The most prolific race of this world, they can be found anywhere and anywhere. Living as nobles within the fortress cities, barbarians in the wastes, soldiers, artisans, barkeeps, mages. They live on the edges of Davokar, in the Ashwastes, the Frostlands, the Great Plains, upon Coast and Mountain alike.

They have a strained relationship with the other races, preferring humans to take occupations and being predated on by certain races such as the predators that are Changelings and the Scavengers that the [Arcanists] can be. Invading the dark woods of the [Elves], fighting the eternal Blood War against the [Ogres]. Though they can appreciate the quality of wares the [Trolls] produce, many Human artisans possess a rather violent inferiority complex against them, forcing them to live generally on the outskirts of Human territories.

Human Ethnicities

There are three broad categories of Humans; Ironbound, Amian, and Barbarian.

All Humans have a sort of sixth sense, some have learned to hone it. They can acquire the Survival Instincts trait like an ability.

Ironbound

This ethnicity have a strong sense of duty and justice, often being on the frontlines of the Blood War, sometimes hunting abominations, changelings, or witches, though this duty can manifest more mundanely in a manner such as reputable governors, kindly constables, judges, or even a humble baker. Doing their part in society.

A strange quirks about them is that they often wear some sort of mask in their day to day lives and they live significantly shorter lives than other humans, assumed to be because they work themselves to death. Little does the world know that these poor souls are cursed from birth, forcing themselves to be productive in the hopes to atone for some ancestral sin.

Ironbound Traits, Boons, and Burdens

All Ironbound have the Short-lived, Code of Honor, and Dark Secret burdens. But based on the type of Ironbound, they have additional traits and burdens, those beyond the Sinless are considered to be quite rare.

Sinless; They get the Survival Instincts trait at the Novice level for free.

Steelmind; They gain the Absolute Memory, Archivist, and Cartographer boons. Unfortunately, they have the Epileptic, Impulsive, or Sickly burdens in addition.

Hagcraven; They gain the Mirage and Medium boons. Unfortunately, they also gain the Mystical Mark burden.

Beastborn; They gain the Beast Tongue, Bloodhound, Pathfinder, and Telltale boons. Unfortunately, they gain the Bestial burden.

Shadowblood; They gain the Dark-Blood, Horrifying, and Shadow Spawn boons. Unfortunately, they gain the Nightmares or Bloodthirst burdens.

Ironbound Names

Seldom with names consisting of more than two syllables. They should be easy to pronounce and remember, preferably also easy to roar if the need arises. Aside from that, the names often have more consonants than vowels and almost never two consonants in a row.

Male Ironbound Names: Awan, Beo, Eral, Gaer, Kael, Lo, Mael, Orel, Tham, Tir

Female Ironbound Names: Anga, Beha, Erli, Fera, Inda, Lonam, Una, Undi, Vird

Amian

This ethnicity comprises a vast majority of civilized society, part of the ruling kingdom, they fullfill any and all roles. Nobles, paupers, guards and criminals, medics, priests, cooks, soldiers and gamblers.

Their society is often considered one which is proverbially corrupt. They are not literally corrupt, they are very swift and brutal against such rumors.

Amian Traits, Boons, and Burdens

Amians get a boon/trait of their choice from the following list: Privileged, Archivist, Cat Burglar, Cheat, Con Artist, Gambler, Manipulator, Musician, or Storyteller.

Amian Names

Female Amian names usually end with –a while the male names end with –o, but there are many exceptions since their native kingdom was so extensive. One distinct exception is that the names of most Amian nobles ends in –gai, – goi or –mei. The use of the letter “x” is uncommon but existing and the letter “j” is replaced by the letter “i” in almost every case. The vowels e and i are used frequently.

Male Amian names: Aro, Beremo, Demeon, Edogai, Gadramei, Iasogoi, Jomilo, Karlio, Malliano, Peonio.

Female Amian names: Abesina, Elindra, Elionara, Levia, Mehira, Ordelia, Revina, Suria, Variol, Vidina.

Barbarian

This ethnicity comprises the primarily nomadic peoples who live along the coasts, across the ashwastes, the frostlands, the endless dunes.

They are many disparate groups who simply reject the way of the Amians for their own beliefs, ways of life, and preferences.

Barbarian Traits, Boons, and Burdens

Barbarians choose either Bushcraft, Enduring March, or Tough.

Barbarian Names

Just like the Amians, barbarian female names usually end with –a, while male names tend to end with –mar, –mon or – mer. It is customary that every other letter is a consonant and a vowel; double vowels are common, while double consonants are almost never used. Like the Amians, barbarians tend not to use the letter ”j”, instead changing it to “y”. The greatest difference between the two people is the barbarians’ love for the vowels a, o and u.

Male barbarian names: Adelar, Gadramon, Haloban, Konarad, Lothar, Odaban, Rábaiamon, Taran, Tharaban, Vikomer.

Female barbarian names: Adela, Aloeta, Eferneya, Elmea, Elda, Galoma, Horosa, Karona, Verama, Yagaba.

[dalishious]

I know you mentioned it but do you know why there's all this hate for elves in the fandom? Whenever I ask it's because there's "too much content about elves" but I recall hearing the same thing back when Origins and 2 were out. That the elves were annoying and people hated them. And now that its revealed the elven gods were "just slave owners" according to them, it's somehow okay that the current day elves are oppressed? it's WEIRD. they justify it by saying there's too much elf content now.

Yeah it's super hard to guess why certain people hate a minority-coded group. //sarcasm

In all seriousness, I can't tell you how many arguments against elves I've heard from the Dragon Age fandom that are just echoes of anti-Native racism I've heard in real life. "They whine too much about being oppressed" and "they're racist against humans" grinds my gears especially.

MEDEA = MEDIA

TRUMAN SHOW / SHOW = MOTTS (split the H, flip the W) show s/he is true.

Medea is known in most stories as an enchantress and is often depicted as a priestess of the goddess Hecate or a witch.

Medea is a 1969 Italian film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, based on the ancient myth of Medea.

Medea is the goddess of illusion. Modern Day Medea = (MEDIA).

Hollywood is the #1 hotspot for creating media. Why is it called Hollywood? Well, there is a tree called the Holly Tree or holly plant.

The druids regarded the Holly Tree as a symbol of fertility and eternal life, thought to have magical powers. Today, Christians have adopted the Hollywood as a symbol for Christmas.

The sharp leaves are said to symbolize the crown of thorns worn by Christ, while the berries represent his blood.

The magical tree (Holly) is made of wood, hence Holly-Wood and the Hollywood is the witches wand. Whenever someone is trying to get on a movie or show they get “Casted.” 

Witches “Cast” spells & what do they read their lines off? A “script” (handwriting as distinct written characters.) "spelling" or writing a prescription (The word prescribe comes from a Latin word meaning to write in advance [of giving a medicine).

That SCRIPT or PRESCRIPTION or MEDICINE that the MEDIA/MEDEA gives to us, is to make us DOCILE and SUBSERVIENT to our OVERLORDS.

If Medea is the Goddess of illusion and had the ability to control and cast magic, what does that mean for us in the modern day? As everyone is aware, Media today controls the world. From social media (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, etc.) to TV (T = 7, V = 7) media like news channels, they are literally brainwashing (or at least trying to attempt to brainwash) the entire population of Earth.

This is why no one can think beyond what they are told to think. And why no one is able to see the main cause or problems of our reality.

The only 2 native caffeinated plants in the United States are both the HOLLY.

Specifically the YA-U-P-ON HOLLY (Ilex vomitoria) and Dah(duh)o(eye)on Holly (Ilex cassine).

There are many other native holly plants in the USA as well.

Winterberry holly (Ilex verticillata), Japanese holly (Ilex crenata), American holly (Ilex opaca) and Inkberry (Ilex glabra). There are more than 400 species of Ilex worldwide.

The plant was traditionally used by Native Americans and Euro-American colonists to make an infusion containing caffeine and theobromine. This drink went by different names, such as cassina, beloved drink or white drink among natives and "Carolina Tea", or "South Seas Tea" among colonists.

Native Americans used Yerba Mate (holly plant) in many ways, including as a social ritual, in religious ceremonies, and as a natural remedy.

I recommend it to everyone trying to clear out the toxins and disharmony of their mind and body. It has the ability to help you lose weight, reduce stress, anxiety and depression as well as boost creativity. Its just an all around magical plant that everyone should be using. https://amzn.to/3X6aosw

M E D - lets break down this letter first. I A

D<>ON<>KEY (D is a HARP or a BOW.)

Which means "D" is good, but d can also mean down. A "D" can be a bow but its missing its arrow (are low/Jack Harlow).

mEDIa <> DI (BOW & ARROW) or DIE (BOW + ARROW). DI also looks like the number 10 backwards or binary code and DIE = 013 or eye B (13 can be read as 73 or 777 lucky sevens). I BE LUCKY or DIE. You must transmute the fear or MUTE the fear.

D = A, I = TT, E = M (the bow and arrow creates a M or B)

The B is the 13th letter or M which creates the angelic WINGs (me in G) of the BEE. And GOD is the QUEEN BEE or ME/IVE/HIVE.

Now will you DIE or will you FLY?

M = mouth/talk, A = apple/AH/ate. You need to use your Mind to shoot the Apple off a persons head. Is the red color of the apple scary as blood?

I've mentioned before that the M = brain, the A = heart. So which organ is the T?

It is the e|yes/elves (t-hem-s_elves) of the mother (MATT). And e = yes (test). The Y can be a T or it can be a V or it can be asking you y? are you going down lower into the realms of heLL/77/TT.

M = map, A = compass, T = cross

M/W (man/woman) = water, A = blood, T = light

M + A = MA or MOT/HER, T = the illusion coming from MA or MATTs eyes.

Is the letter "D" a half closed eye or a half opened eye?

If you flip it around the letter "D" it becomes the sun on the horizon (hor/her = zion or Z (N/in) (77) = eye on).

The letter "D" is just half of an "O" (sun, son, eye, apple, egg).

The word "DIE" can be both a bow and arrow and become "MAT." What does it spell below? M-E-D-A (the tip of the arrow is the I/eye or TT).

The 4 feathers of the arrow become 77 or M/E. The "D" or bow shape creates three sides or a triangle which creates the "A". Finally the tip of the bow also creates a 7 or a "T".

Be on the look for that F = flag/feather/fall/float in your next typo because F/T/cross/X marks the spot or the hole/whole.

Everywhere we look we can find MAT or Gods true name. They have embedded their truth in perfect harmony with ALL/77 that exist. The fundamental laws of the universe manifest using this language. The language of MOTT/MATT or MOT/HER. She is the QUEEN BEE and we need to learn to harmonize to her voice (deus vox) or vibration so that we can learn to fly into the higher realms of reality.

The B = 13 and the M = 13th letter, and they are your wings to fly 7up. If you're going to be angeLIc don't forget your bow or harp D. Because not only is M<>ON<>KEY, but D<>ON<>KEY as well.

And don't forget the BANK, AN = ON, K = key. The Porcelain Goddess truth is everywhere you look. She likes when you keep the queen clean. So clear out the dust and cobwebs from your life, so that you can think more clearly. It is ALL(AH) connected which means filth in your environment = filth in your mind.

CHAOS in your life = chaos in your mind. And SHE is CH.

CH/SHE (A-O-S, APPLE-EYE-SNAKE)

CH/SHE <> HA (I ATE) <> SO (snake + apple)

CHLOE CH/SHE LOE/LOW LOW = MOT

Now are you going to be LOW or you going to learn to rise into MOT/MAT? To Do that you must DU, and to DU you must DU'AT or DO@ (half opened eye, opened eye, apple of my eye).

U = YOU SEE

If you want to start blooming your PINEAL (EAL/EAT/MAT) G(7)LAND then you need MAT. M = 4 lines A = 3 lines T = 2 lines

432 Hz

The healing frequencies of MAT can help you start opening your pinecone. There are many things that can help, reading is one of them, learning is another, exercise is important as well. Even crystals can be helpful to opening your mind. CRYSTAL S = M, L = T CRY MATT

Now do you want to make MATT CRY or do you want to make her FLY? To do that you must try to find her by SEEking her daily before she will help you fly like the humble bumble BEE.
