THE SERPENT OF BRASS

My favorite td couples in honor of the celebration

Merry Christmas/Happy Yule to all of you! I hope you are having a great time :)

So in honor of celebration, I've decided to draw my most favorite couples.

My headcanons about how each couple celebrate:

Heather and Alejandro usually visit some Christmas fairs, watching films/movies, throwing snowballs at each other and pushing each other into a snowdrifts.

Gwen's mother always arranging a family Christmas trip. Courtney usually spending Christmas all alone watching TV, baking cookies and texting her girlfriend.

Dawn and Ezekiel always arguing about what they should celebrate, because Dawn is a pagan and Ezekiel is a Christian. They always ending up with a some sort of a compromise.

LeShawna and Harold are talking a day just for themselves to try different activities. Harold loves to brag about random things and LeShawna is a good listener.

MK and Julia started a podcast. Their favourite thing is reading r/AITA.

Hey I’m not trying to be rude but I noticed you mentioned w*ndigo as some thing you wanted to write in the future? The Algonquian and other tribes are very clear that their culture is closed and people aren’t supposed to say, write, or even think that word. I’m not trying to call you out or shame you, a lot of people don’t know since it’s been appropriated so much in media. While people outside of these tribes just see them as something on the same line as vampires or mermaids, it’s really a much bigger deal than that. One of the strongest responses from a member I’ve seen was something like “I wish we’d never let them learn that word.” This is a highly controversial topic that causes a great deal of pain to many members of the community, and even seeing or hearing the word can be deeply triggering. If you do want to write about similar creatures, Crypt Tv created a similar creature called the Mordeo and their horror shorts are on YouTube

Hi, I know this is out of genuine concern, but I also want to emphasize that this is a controversial topic.

I have done some research on this, and there are equally as many people saying it’s okay to say/write/read about it, as there have been people abolishing its use.

Fact is, this creature is featuring in quite a number of modern media to date. Most notably the Supernatural fandom and the Until Dawn fandom (that I know off the top of my head at the moment). Not to mention numerous songs. Or the very real, psychological phenomena named after it. Though obviously we could argue about the accuracy of its depiction in relation to the original lore.

It is a folklore, a fascinating one, that I take to be mostly about human greed, selfishness, and circumstance. (A lot of times now mixed with the modern depiction of antlers/rotten deer with too sharp teeth.) People know about it. People will invariably find it fascinating. People will write/talk/sing about it. It’s human nature.

Personally, I think it becomes a problem the moment you try to pass it off as something of your own creation rather than trying to encourage people to learn the original folklore. So even if I do end up using the broad inspiration and go with calling it a Mordeo instead, the core of it will always remain with the folklore of the Wendigo. And I will always point back to it, because knowledge of the original version is better than running around thinking that my abstract version is the right one.

But like with all things online, I cannot stress enough that you curate your own experience and can decide on what to see and what not to. If this is something you absolutely do not agree with, please feel free to block me or otherwise filter my content.

I like that men smell different depending on the side. Which do you prefer?

Me, coming to a realization: Tithonus reminds me of Discord from mlp, Tithonus why must i make these connections

Tithonus: isn't it obvious?

Me: because it involves my special interest??

Tithonus, amused: you see yourself in me the same way you see yourself in him, you long to be accepted for who you are and nothing less, i assure you you'll find it just like i did, just like he did

Me, stupidly emotional: does that mean Eos is fluttershy?

Tithonus: yes

Me, sniffling:

Tithonus: it also is because your special interest

Prayer for Nausiklutia

Hear me, O beloved ocean goddess, calmer of waves, protector of mariners, she who heralds sailors away from harm and into her arms.

Messenger through dreams, who guides us to the divine dawn, blessed lady of the sea, please guide those who’ve strayed from the safety of your eyes.

Brizo of slumber, fair protector, and navigator I revel in your divinity on this day and for all you offer us through your kind heart.

O sea faring goddess of far-famed Delos may you guide me to prosperity and fairer times as you do with ships in your harbour.

Sea loving Brizo may you accept these offerings and bring blessings of your divinity.
