Life Series Poem
The Sun, the Star, the Moon and Mars all watch over one.
Each has lived, each has died, all has won but none.
Earth was lost long ago yet still comes out to find.
The Sun rejects and stands alone, abandoned but not just quite.
The Stars are victory and therefore has won, but is his luck finally dry?
The Moon wins the Watchers game and the Stars forgiveness high.
Mars meets the Stars again and the clock strikes with chimes.
He wins the war oh goody so! But his betrayal catches up with time.
The Canary's call, the first to fall, and death is left behind.
Victory, laughter, and chaos ensues, and all is left to cry.
The series ended it was all for fun, but who else would like to die?
The Sun - Grian
The Stars - Scott
The Moon - Pearl
Mars - Martyn
Earth - Scar
Canary - Jimmy

We all know @redspringstudio are all geniuses. but i need you guys to know just how genius these guys are. they put so much thought into assigning their characters flowers, that my oracle cards described Mhin fairly well.
I feel like Mhin is doubtful of their power over themself and the situation they're in. We know them to be incredibly capable and smart, but we also know them to get stuck by mental blocks easily (and, as Mc points out in the demo, it's only their own fault.)
perhaps they need to have trust in their inner strength and allow themself to succeed with the help of Mc and their tools.
there's also a card in this deck for the magnolia, kuras's flower, but I'll make a separate post for that eventually. the deck is Woodland Wardens! highly recommend it

so I'm learning that outside of the usual deluge of violent racism at having to see black skin onscreen, one of the major complaints about the acolyte is that it yet again doesn't portray the jedi as pure unabashed heroes who never did anything wrong. which is an issue I've seen in the tags on this site for other star wars things before and it is such an absolutely freakish hill to die on. why is the jedi's purity as an institution so important to you. are you vicariously defending a real life institution you believe to be pure and unproblematic? 🤨 why do you think what happens to the jedi is only tragic if they embody some ideal of heroism that doesn't exist? why do you demand that they fill a two dimensional role of goodness that isn't necessary in stories that go beyond the binary of empire vs. rebels? why are you allergic to exploring the flaws that exist in every religious organization fictitious or otherwise? why does this world need to be a cartoon in order for it to make sense to you?

James Potter was the embodiment of the sun. He was bright and full of laughter, summer days and sunbathing, laying in the grass in the heat, lemonade in glasses, running around and full of energy and life.
Remus Lupin, was the moon. Calm and quiet moments, dimly lit, the sound of crickets and owls hooting, a low glow, reading by candle light and sleeping softly.
But just like the sun and moon, both boys went down and rose again.
And when James went down, when he was tired and felt like his light was going out. Remus reflected his light to him, although softer in practice, it was always what James needed. When the sun set the moon rose.
And when Remus fell, going away with the night. James would shone, and Remus took in his light. He gave Remus the life he needed, the brightness and energy. When the moon fell the sun rose.
James and Remus were like the sun and moon, they worked in shifts. But they worked together, and that's what counted.

A lot of y’all seemed to have REALLY enjoyed my ‘Enid is a lesbian because she says howdy’ shitpost so here’s another round of me performing Olympic god medal level mental gymnastics in order to explain how Wenclair works:
Okay so, as taught by my Bumbleby roots, names can have SIGNIFICANT have power. So to see if that applied here, I looked up the meanings of Wenclair’s names.
Enid: life, spirit
Sinclair: saintly, pure
Wednesday: Originates from the Norse god Woden (Woden’s Day) who was associated with death
Addams: The creator, Charles Addams, clearly inserted his own surname here, but it’s interesting to note that Addams means earth
Wenclair really are polar opposites aren’t they? Sun and Moon Girlfriends™️ not just aesthetically, but even down to their names (giggles in BB giggles in BB giggles in BB-). It’s almost like they were meant to parallel and compliment the other from the moment they were born.
The Sun- warm, pure, full of spirit and energy and a giver of Life.
The Moon- dark, shadowy, a blanket of cover for Death as she calmly overlooks her star-studded realm.
Did y’all know that Life and Death can not exist without the other? They are perfect equal-yet-opposites foils of one other that are in this grand cycle of balance. One is not inherently better than the other, mind you. Furthermore, I love the idea of inverting these tropes. The Sun may be associated with Life, but do not underestimate her- she can just as easily take this life away. Scorching wildfires, droughts, a rage like a sleeping wolf now awakened by her lover’s call. The Moon may be associated with Death, but she is also a symbol for change. The ever-shifting tides she controls, the phases she cycles through, the way Wednesday helps Enid change for the better. Sun & Moon, Life & Death, two halves of a rather lovely whole.
That being said, there’s also something sweet to be said about Addams meaning earth. The Earth is often associated with feelings of welcoming because, well, above all else, Earth means home (see the goddess Gaia for example). Like, yes, being celestial beings on a grand scale of equality and eternal devotion is amazing, but there’s also a charm to Addams meaning earth, of Addams meaning home. Enid is not accepted by her own family, but that’s alright, because she’s made a home in the loving arms of another. I like to imagine that on that on the flipside, there’s the symbolism of ‘earth’ not in the sense of the whole world, but earth like the soil beneath our feet. Wednesday seeing ‘earth’ as the ground we trodden upon and going, “Would you really want to settle for some dirt like I?”. Enid, with no hesitation, replying, “I like this dirt, it’s great for growing beautiful flowers. I wouldn’t want any other home but you, Willa.” Enid Addams does have quite the ring to it, wouldn’t you agree?
