Personal items belonging to a commoner from the River Realms

Lirran Eye pendant: fish and eyes are common iconography in the Lirran faith. The fish is often modeled off of river fish local to the origins of such items. The eye is the standard Eye of Lir - a symbol associated with both the Goddess Lir, the River itself and the first Archking of the River Realms.

Knife with carved bone handle: A brass (brass is a very common metal in the River Realms and neighbouring domains) with a bone handle carved to resemble a pointed ear hare - a common creature inhabiting the Midnight Valley.

Lirran Petals: Petals are the names for coins of smaller denominations used in the River Realms. These ones are made of copper (featuring Lirran religious iconography), brass (featuring the crest of the Archking), and silver (featuring a cameo of the Archking Lothair II).

A brass sickle: wooden handled brass sickle used for harvesting herbs and other plants.

Leather pouch with bone fastener: a simple leather pouch with a stamped decoration featuring the Eye of Lir fish icon. This sort of pouch would be attached to the waist with thick but soft string usually tied in complex knots (the knots usually have some meaning and religious significance to the wearer)

Wooden Flute and case: a simple wooden flute, a common instrument found in the River Realms. Flute based music is very popular in the common traditions of music as well as courtly music.

Feather from a Kingfisher-like bird: a wing feather from a bird that mostly eats fish, which it catches by swooping over a body of water and catching small unsuspecting fish.

games like palworld and palmons and whatever can never actually ape pokemon’s design style because they’re too afraid of letting their mons look slightly uncool. when that’s literally the cornerstone of pokemon

Saw this thread on r/teslore the other day and I was straight up crying at how utterly incomprehensible it is to anyone who doesn't go here, I have to immortalize it here for future generations. I love this fandom.

my grandpa was a good man. and it really wasnt his fault - recreationally lying to kids is a proud family tradition - but he told me, once, that cutting a worm in half resulted in two worms.

i think he said it so i'd be more morally okay with fishing? i actually dont remember the context.

point was, he told me this, and he understimated (by a very large margin) how much i liked worms. i was a worm boy. very wormy. and after hearing that, i went home, and i dug through the garden, flipped over every rock, did everything i could to gather as many worms as i could, and then i uh.

i cut them all in half. every worm i could find. all of them. with scissors.

i then took this pile of split worms, and i put them in a box with a bit of lettuce and some water and stuff and went to bed expecting to double my worms overnight. i have math autism, so i had a vague understanding that if i did this just a few times in a row, i would eventually have a completely unreasonable amount of worms.

i was very excited to become this plane's worm emperor.

(i think i was...six?)

anyway, i did not become the inheritor of the worm crown. i instead woke up to a box of dead worms and cried. a lot. i got diagnosed with panic attacks as a teenager, but i think i had them as a kid, i just had no idea what they were. i was kind of processing that a.) i had killed what i had assumed was every single worm in my yard, and thus would have no more worms, and b). i was going to like, worm hell.

(six year babylon spent a lot of time worrying about god.)

so i kind of freaked out, and i climbed a tree, because god can only smite you if you're touching the ground (?) and i sat up there mostly inconsolable until my mom came out and asked, hey, what's up? what happened?

so i explained to her that i had killed all of the worms, forever, and was also Damned, and she took me to the compost pile, and we dug for all of five seconds and found like twenty more worms.

the compost pile was full of worms.

she then told me that a). there were more worms, and we could put them back under rocks and stuff and recolonize our yard and b). that one day, i would die, and go to heaven, and be able to talk to the worms face to face. that i'd be able to tell them all that i was very sorry, and that i killed them on accident, driven only by excessive Love, and that she was positive they would forgive me because worms have six hearts and no malice.

at that point, i think i was sixty percent tear-snot by weight, and i had no choice but to gather enough worms that i could hug them. which my mom helped with. and then after that she helped me put some worms back under each rock.

and for my epilogue: i spent a significant portion of my childhood in trees. and for many years after, even when my mom didnt know i was watching, i would catch her giving the space under the rocks a light spritz with the hose. not because she loved worms.

but because she loved me.

Pipe sprung a leak in the bathroom the other day and the cat came and bothered me about it and I can't stop thinking about it. She doesn't know what a towel or a mop is but she knew there was an unauthorised fucking Wet and she trusted my ability to rectify the situation
