Happy STS! Are you researching anything in particular right now for Lambswool? If not, is there something you'd like to look into for your WIP in the future?

I'm always technically researching so many different things haha. I can't help but jump around, plus I get recommended videos and come across other stuff online organically and collect info that way as it comes. I guess right now I'm trying to focus book-wise on this book I got from the library (so I can then RETURN it once I finish):

I'm particularly interested in the info here about prehistoric magical practice. It's written by an archaeologist, so it details a super interesting analysis of what the supernatural beliefs may have been for people in Europe in prehistory based on objects and structures that survive. As the cover says, the book goes back to the Ice Age.

Some fun facts I've gathered so far:

the end of the Ice Age might have been explained by new spirits entering the land and darkness being banished

apparently in the British isles earthen long barrows were lived in, as well as being places for depositing human remains. they were houses.

even in other types of houses/locations in Europe houses were also where people buried their dead

there seems to be a shift in Britain around 2000 BC from interest in the sun to emphasizing the moon

a monument called Woodhenge had a large village within it. meanwhile there's no evidence of people living in Stonehenge

field systems laid out in Britain around 1500 BC to align with the solstices lasted into the period when Britain was Christianized

But yeah as it seems not much is known about beliefs in the British isles at this time period I love that this book attempts to paint a fuzzy picture of it based on physical evidence. It's giving me loads of ideas.

I guess besides that lately I've been particularly obsessed with documenting linguistics from the different time periods of my characters (some are regency, some speak in 17th century English). Even though it doesn't matter much to the big picture, I adore learning about how my period characters would *actually* talk; it makes them more real for me, and applying what I've learnt to their dialogue will (ideally) make the story more immersive/feel more like stepping back in time.

We need happy and wholesome nice queer representation to remind us that being queer doesn't doom you to a short life of loneliness and misery and we need fucked up and toxic queer representation to remind us that queer people are human beings who are messy and complicated and are not required to be beacons of moral goodness

if you make that female character less goth as a sign of her ~healing~ or ~improving her life~ I will kill you

make her MORE gloriously dark and over-the-top. she's growing into herself. she's getting comfortable being who she wants to be. do you see the vision. I am crying and throwing things

having ocs is so fucked .... i miss them so bad but im the guy who has to create new content. but im sleepy

[avaseofpeonies]

"IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A ONESHOT!!!" i scream, desperately clawing at the floor, as the fic drags me back into The Depths to continue writing against my will for the rest of eternity

Heavenly Officials: The Ghost City is a den of evil, a mysterious and dangerous place. You can literally die if you walk in by accident.

Meanwhile, in the Ghost City:

[avaseofpeonies]

What, like it's hard?

[avaseofpeonies]

"just write a little every day" ok but what if i write nothing for 3 weeks and then suddenly type like i’m being hunted by god

[avaseofpeonies]

Fucks me up to think about how every character in the world is literally just someone's OC

[avaseofpeonies]

I have finally figured out how to type an em dash it is so over for you bitches.

And by bitches I mean my overused ellipses.
