Nothing is ever just Black or White.

Nothing is ever just Black or White.

Do you recognise this plant? I didn’t. Browsing the plant life near to the beach at Snettisham I found something unfamiliar — a large attractive flowering shrub growing in the midst of stinging nettles and thistles with quite leathery leaves. It was blowing a gale, black clouds were heaving overhead and I had no gloves to explore more closely. So I took some photos and made haste to the car…

Hiiiiii, is there anything you can tell us about Nini’s doll and its significance? (Apologies if you’ve already answered similar questions)

The doll is named Valentina, and she's Nini's best friend! Funny, they kinda look alike huh?

Every Single Duplicate Costume Combo (May 2023)

Harriet Caplan-Dean and Esme Rothero both performed on the West End yesterday, which meant we saw the first double silver performance! Here’s the rundown of every combo we’ve seen so far:

L-R:

Collette Guitart and Cassandra Lee, UK Tour. These queens only played one show together, as Aragon and Cleves (pictured) when Collette was an emergency cover in Dec 2019. They never performed a show together in their primary costume.

Liv Alexander and Collette Guitart, West End. These queens performed a few shows together in two combos of queens. Note that Liv has Grace Mouat’s 2.0 costume while Collette’s is her 3.0 redesign. (photo by @/shonalouise_photography)

Cassandra Lee and Natalie Pilkington, UK Tour. These queens performed in the same production in black alt for nine months and did numerous shows together. They never had the same variations, which seems to have been intentional.

Jennifer Caldwell and Cherelle Jay, West End. These two queens played many shows together in various queen combos. Despite both wearing shorts and the primary top for Boleyn/Parr, they never got to do a show together both in that variation. (not sure on photo origin, please link me if aware!)

Bryony Duncan and Cherelle Jay, West End. These queens also played a few shows as various queen combos, as well as performing in West End Live together. They never had any of the same variations.

Shannen Alyce Quan and Madeline Fansler, Australia Tour. These queens performed together as Parr/Boleyn and Aragon/Howard. They never had any of the same variations.

Lauren Drew and Alicia Corrales-Connor, UK Tour. Back in winter 2019-20, Lauren Drew wore a temporary costume made out of modified pieces of former band costumes while she waited for a new Aragon costume. A few weeks later, Alicia left the Norwegian Bliss and temporarily joined the UK Tour as Howard understudy. However, her costume was left on the Bliss for Bryony Duncan to wear, so she also wore a modified band costume when she performed. Alicia went on twice and both times the two of them were on in their modified band costumes. (photo from @/aliciatyra_cc, unsure of origin)

Hana Stewart and Harriet Watson, West End Live. These queens only performed together for West End Live. They both wore their only variation, which were identical.

Esme Rothero and Harriet Caplan-Dean, West End. The newest addition to this post! These queens performed together yesterday for one show as Howard and Parr, respectively. Esme wore her A/H skirt and Harriet wore her pants. (photo from @/elliemaxx)

And a few honorable mentions:

Pictured: Grace Mouat and Collette Guitart (West End), Jennifer Caldwell and Bryony Duncan (UK Tour). Despite us having behind the scenes photos of these queens together in their costumes, these two sets of queens never actually got to perform together onstage in these costumes.

I do have a new obsession, yes it is Red Valley, and yes I have thought extensively about a live-action version where Laufey's While You Were Sleeping plays during the end credits.

Just my characters, Sara and Fist, taking a bit of a walk.

Planet Mars: Astrology, Associations, Healing & Magick -Talon Abraxas

Mars and Magick

The energy of Mars may be invoked in magical workings dealing with warriors, war or battles, attack or defense, increasing or preserving physical strength, courage, or sexual potency.

It can also be invoked to break binding spells and love spells and to counter or protect against any spells using Venus energy. Mars energy lends itself well to spells to induce lust and passion, but not love and devotion.

Other Correspondences

Mars is associated with Tuesday, and in Romance languages, the word for Tuesday often resembles Mars (in Spanish, Martes, and in French, Mardi). Dante Alighieri associated Mars with the liberal art of arithmetic.

The color red, the-tower tarot card, the sword, and the pentagram are all symbols of Mars.

The horse, the bear, and the wolf are also associated with Mars.

october x 500 | masterlist

for the month of october I've set myself a challenge to write 500 words a day, and me being me thought why don't I do some prompts? because you know, I haven't got enough going on. but the reality is I wanted something that wasn't tied to anything currently a WIP so I could just focus on getting out of the state of mind of 'this has to be the perfect finished version on the first go' and embrace just writing and seeing what happens. are any of these going to be any good? probably not. will many of them make sense? not at all. will they mostly be marcus pike? very likely. will I hope to have fun and stick to something for 31 days straight? hopefully.

no idea what timezone you exist in, so this may be somewhat late, but hey, it's still clanmew day for me, so have some oc name translations that i did my best on! coyotesong - uruooyanaya - wolf song-present-tense (no translation for coyote) star sightstalker - shai pipohhass - star sight sneaky (no translation for stalk as in to stalk prey) spiralstrike - lyyfkubo - daydream strike-hit (spiral in this context refers to its habit of confusing enemies before attacking, sometimes lulling them into a false sense of security, as well as how it tricked its entire clan into believing it was Normal and Well-Adjusted, despite being a murderer, so i thought “daydream” was a suitable translation) bonus: “the enemy-eater” - mwrriumyrgna (dark forest name; dark forest names are given to code-breakers post-mortem if what they have done is bad enough that they are considered to not deserve a name. technically, a starclan cat could have one of these names, however it is unlikely. these names can warp the appearance and even memories of the ones they are given to; a spirit may eventually forget its original name and even cats it knew in life. this dark forest name was given after it was discovered that spiralstrike had started eating cats post-exile from the clan to sustain itself and to intimidate other rogues and the clans.) cometblaze  - yookepkafyar -  shooting-star wildfire (comet is in-universe a post-mortem honor title referring to how he came quickly, shook up the world and then returned to the stars. out of universe it’s because his outsider name was halley as in halley’s comet, and also because i thought “comet tail” would make a cute name for the series he’s in) bonus: gingerblaze - raporkafyar - reddish-brown wildfire (refers to his ginger pelt and his fiery personality, the name he had in life) bryonyheart - oskpeskebabun - white tiny-flower-cluster heart (no word for bryony, but it has white flowers) bonus: bryonyblaze (same cat, renamed to honor his fallen mate) - oskpeskekeya (white tiny-flower-cluster ash) (his suffix means ash rather than wildfire despite translating to english the same to symbolize how his mate has “burned out” but that his name lives on despite this?? i dunno if that even works but the Symbolism, y’know?) nightslash - yoshomkachkubo - midnight claw-strike (no direct word for slash, name refers to his habit of hunting/patrolling at night and his ferocity in battle) BONUS ROUND: warriors-sona: mothmalice - ffyynyryr - moth/butterfly bad/rotting (no direct translation for malice/evil)

EXCELLENT use of symbolism, I also want to commend your additions to Clan culture here. I like that your Clans do postmortem changes, that's not something I do for BB but I think that SLAPS as a cultural difference that another Clan might pick up.

Let me get you some new words;

On Bryony

There are TWO types of bryony in this region-- Black and White. Both of these are extremely poisonous, but black is so toxic it's topically corrosive. It can cause blistering, it's that bad. You've described white bryony, the less bad type.

Black Bryony (Dioscorea communis), also called Lady's Seal and Black Bindweed = Awgahor (Sunburn + Bryony + Contraction) With dark green leaves, bright red berries, and greenish-yellow flowers, this is a detested and feared plant by Clan cats. Though it won't burn just by brushing against it, It can be made into a torturous poultice that causes intense pain to its victim. Because it's full of saponins (the lily chemical), it can't be licked off, either. A cat exposed to this has to find water and wash it off. In humans it's been used to treat bruises, but its side effect of causing that blistering makes it dangerous as a folk remedy.

White Bryony (Bryonia dioica), also called false mandrake, tetterbury, and wild vine = Horoma (Comes from a corruption of Green + White + Flower) Much less actively dangerous, but not less deadly. All parts of this plant, from its greenish-white flowers to its shiny berries, are highly poisonous. It can sometimes kill prey that takes a bite of it. FUNFACT: White Bryony was used as a medieval knockoff of mandrake! Its tubers would be carved in a way to resemble the bizarre human likeness of real mandrake and sold to people who couldn't tell the difference. Mandrake does not grow in England, it is a Mediterranean plant.

White Bryony is also an example of a neep, a climbing vine, that isn't ivy. It can be particularly aggressive outside of its home range, too! But thankfully they are native to this area and don't cause a threat.

Slashes

Time to expand out some cutting-words.

Gash = Aar A long, straight cut.

Gouge = Moar A deep, rounded score

Cutted = Kishgurk/Kishgur/Kishgu Implies unskilled cutting or a cut that needed effort, more like if you were cutting grass or skinning an animal than in the middle of a furious fight.

Slashed = Ashasar/Ashasa/Ashas Skillful, long-cutting. Used in combat contexts.

Crushed = Kraobur/Kraobu/Kraob Translates directly.

Ripped Open = Churr'rrich/Churr'rri/Churr'rrr To land a vicious attack of fatal intention.

Lastly, below the cut is the other combat words that exist currently.

Disembowl/Grallocking/Taking the guts out = Hgrrarl/Hgrrar/Hgrra

Mauling/ripping chunks out = Ygrraga/Ygrrag/Ygrra For fur chunks flying around. VERY violent.

To slice something off = Sassge'shss/Sassge'sh/sassge'

Unsheathing = Yskatchka/Yskatch/Yskat

Strike/hit (With Claw) = Kachkubo/Kachkub/Kachku

Swipe = Syyamyar/Syyamya/Syyam

Pummel/batter/rapid batting = Pabrpabrpabr/pabrpabr/pabr

Grab/Grapple = Akichkar/Akichka/akich

Fought/Fight/Will Fight = Arrlkatchyam/Arrlkatchya/Arrlkatch Comes from Arrl + Claw, fusing together as a single word from an older phrase "Compelled to Claws," reflecting how combat was not a desired thing in Classic Tribemew.
