“The capital lies before us, my friend. What a sombre place it seems and one that holds the answers to many a mystery. I too have felt the pull of this place, though now I sit before it I find myself hesitant to descend.
“Is it fear, I wonder, or something else that holds me back?”
My new headcanon is that Fereldans find the way other Andrastians sing the Chant incredibly funny. Why?
Well...
You have parts of the Chant that are serene, solemn, think Catholic or Eastern orthodox hymns. Something like this:
But then you have the more story-heavy canticles. And since Andraste was Fereldan, of course she would base the melody on something she knew - fereldan heroic epics, which would be sung in feast halls with a horn of mead in hand. So some parts of the Chant are more like this:
And the reason Fereldans are bored with the Chant in other countries is that foreigners simply don't Get It with the heroic parts. They sing the whole thing like the Canticle of Trials, which is about as hilarious to Fereldans as to us would be someone singing sea chanties in the style of a gregorian chant.
(both tracks are my own musical interpretation of the text found in the World of Thedas vol. 2 and very much a work in progress)
I think that people are making astrology TOO COMPLICATED 😭😭, like at this point, I'm literally EVERYTHING, and it's actually kinda funny, lol, it's very confusing too. I feel like the nakshatras, atmakaraka, darakaraka, aspects, d9 and d10 in vedic and aspects, solar return charts and a few asteroids in western are MORE THAN ENOUGH to know literally anything about your life. (this also includes planets in houses)
I mean...according to all the posts that I've read till now - I hate my mother, I love her, my husband is older than me, younger than me, a ceo, a singer, a dancer, a psychologist, a doctor, I'm an introvert and an extrovert, I hide my emotions but I'm also a crybaby..... And so on, like 😭😭
The reason why I even started learning astrology in the first place was because I was so confused. This is also why I like @notanastrologer so fucking much, because all of her observations are based on the main planets and charts and they are true like 99% of the times.
My elder sister has uranus in the 9th house, I remember she posted that these people would be the first ones in their family to study abroad, and my sister was the first one to go and study abroad. Like it's such a simple placement "uranus in 9th house", but it still manages to tell you such an important thing, I think that's really cool.
So like, don't be confused guys and as someone who is studying Psychology, I know that humans have a dynamic personality, you can be so many things all at once, but the problem is that people tend to read one thing and then get fixated on that. Like if they read one negative thing about their placement then they assume the worst. I'm a scorpio moon and I've never found any of the scorpio moon observations relatable....
hello, vati! do you have any tips for beginner artists? i began learning how to actually draw stuff earlier this year and it's been really fun. your art very inspiring and very dear to me, i love your sons with my whole entire heart!
hell yeah! youve got the most important thing down, which is having fun doing what ur doing :D i think the best way to learn new technique and develop ur own style etc etc is to just get super into something and be consumed by it and draw it a bunch lol
all the other stuff will eventually fall into place
