changes in relation to romantic shipping rules

Hi guys! So - I’ve decided to make a small shift in relation to romantic ships for Melissa and which realistically doesn’t really change anything, but I thought I’d put this into words and make it official going forward. As of today, this blog is moving to a multi single-ship one.

This means that, in relation to romantic ships, I will only write Melissa against one variant/duplicate of that muse (this, of course, doesn’t extend to OCs). This is mostly because my ships tend to be incredibly well plotted and developed and I always end up feeling like my partner writes ‘the’ version of that muse and I don’t want to be unfair and hold someone else to my view of their muse just because I’m more partial to another portrayal.

This also doesn’t apply to any current situations (although I think there is only one or two instances where this happened) - in other words, none of the established ships which we have discussed, created tags for and written about are being dropped. This is just for future interactions and I do plan to keep the relationship page up to date so everyone is aware of which spots are taken and whatnot. 

Finally - this doesn’t apply to any platonic connections! These have an unlimited number and I’m always happy to further establish these dynamics as well. :)

Thank you! Mari.

Hmmm just gonna spit this headcanon out in text post form since A. I don't think I could exposit it well enough in image form and B. It's not actually textually/thematically substantiated and I don't like actually staking my stuff on just vibes alone*

But anyway. I'd say it's pretty evident that all the islanders forgot their names, right? King obviously. Because why the hell else would he do that, but also Siffrin No Middle Names No Last Name.

They're 'pretty sure' they've 'always' been 'Just Siffrin' 'as long as they can remember'. It's a pretty cruel twist of the knife to say that they don't even get to keep their birth name as a memento, which is why I'm saying as such.

My utterly unsubstantiated claim is I think it'd be cute to say that Sisyphus *is* the name Siffrin initially picked, assuming the myth of King Sisyphus is recontextualised as idk, just a play or something in the setting. But I like the idea of Siffrin going 'oh shit 🫵 he's just like me fr' at a tortured fictional character long before the irony kicks in.

As for how Sisyphus -> Siffrin. I think that chronic mumbler and emotional doormat Sif just did not correct people who misheard the name during their time travelling, and went through enough places with incompatible phonologies (pronounceable sounds in the language) without ever really writing it down that it just got kinda. Changed until it was unrecognisable, and Siffrin just went with it until the earlier pronunciations slipped out of their swiss-cheese brain. And they just kinda don't remember any of that.

Also, something something the horrid realisation that Siffrin also named themselves after a King. Just not as blatantly.

*(though I think there's something here about Siffrin, a guy from a belief system that seems to thoroughly disincentivise autonomy and self-motivated choice continuously having their hand forced to make changes/choices they don't want but have no choice but to... It's not solid enough to really back this up tbh, but it informs it.)

Anyway.

Did some very surface-level digging for collector design reasons and reworked the colors of the prince a bit + the image on its own for clarity

Recently I’ve been getting a ton of emails of people asking me why A Little Rain Oracle doesn’t come with a guidebook or that they’ve “lost” their guidebook ( without proof of purchase)

Initially when these “lost guidebook “ email started to come in I was silly enough to not ask for proof of purchase and gave away my own copies of the guidebook only charging the cost of shipping. However as these emails started to accumulate, I realized something was wrong and realized that pirated copies of A Little Rain Oracle was being sold online with no guidebook, hence the emails.

If you see any decks on @Wish @temu @aliexpress it’s 100% fake. Even shops like @etsy @ebay @amazon are not free from counterfeit products either as I have often seen counterfeits of Oriens Animal Tarot or A Little Rain Oracle sold there.

Despite my best efforts, these pirated decks always reappear on market a few weeks/months after I report them. They know full well that small indie creators aren’t able to constantly report them as running a solo business already takes up most of their time.

If you’ve ever unknowingly purchased a pirated deck of mine or another creator, please do not feel too guilty over something you were tricked into. Instead please help to share this post or just help to spread awareness about the rampant piracy issues when you can.

As a small artist it’s really disheartening to see all these emails asking for the guidebook all while knowing that less than 3 people purchased the deck in the last few months. If you’ve ever been interested in getting A Little Rain Oracle or Pre-Order anything from Tales and Oracle of Eleven please checkout my website as I’m running a sale right now for my birthday month.

If you’ve read this far, thank you for reading all this. To other deck creators, has your deck been stolen? Have you received emails similar to mine? Do you know how to file take down reports? ( If not email me and I’ll send you info!) How do you deal/cope with it?
