So... The Marble Nest huh.
I finally played it myself and even though I knew the plot already it was still just. Fucking hell. The inevibitality of it all. The constant reminders that it's all happening in your head. And the idea of trapping a soul inside a nutshell? One of the most poetic concepts I have ever heard of. It actually reminded me of a polish sung poem by the lyrical cabaret Piwnica pod Baranami, titled "Ta nasza młodość" (eng.: This youth of ours).
She is the rapid light of a creek
Among the stones
She is the squirrels in the trees
She is dashing through the tree branches
She is the sparkle inside a stone
She is the milk inside a nutshell
She is curious of the world
Like a copper penny in a purse
(This youth of ours, made out of bone and blood
This youth of ours, that mocks time...)

Threshold Transition Spell (3) Flower Essence Remedies
Among flower essence remedies’ first expression is their ability to ease the transition from life to death. Flower essence remedies are either given internally or gently massaged into the dying person’s feet. The following are especially recommended:
Angels’ trumpet (FES), to ease the process and promote spiritual surrender.
Angelica (FES, Pegasus), to connect with the angels and psychopomps and to beseech their protection and benevolence
Blackberry (FES), which eases depression and fear
Chrysanthemum (FES), which stimulates the courage to contemplate the journey ahead
Grape (Master’s Flower Essence), which eases the sense of abandonment during the dying process and following death
Purple Monkeyflower (FES), which eases and resolves the terror of dying
Scarlet Monkeyflower (FES), to help resolve rage and anger about death and dying
Sweet Chestnut (Bach), to relieve the bitter isolation of the soul
Tobacco (Pegasus), which promotes spiritual surrender
(from The Element Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells by Judika Illes)

What are your headcanons for your favorite Cookie Run cookies? (From OvenBreak and/or Kingdom.) I know your number 1 favorite is Angel Cookie, (heck, it even says it in your bio), but what about the other cookies that make you smile when they're on screen?
What? My favorite cookie is Angel Cookie? Really? /j /lh
In all seriousness, sure! Here's some headcanons for some of my favorite cookies!
Angel and Madeline became a found family after the events of the "Celestials, Guide Me" bond.
Blueberry Pie's favorite book to read is "Walk Two Moons".
Ginseng and Bellflower are father and daughter.
I'm pretty sure I already said this before, but Red Velvet and Birthday Cake are siblings! Birthday Cake was created sometime after the Night of Witches, making her the younger sibling.
Matcha and White Lily were siblings even before White Lily's transformation into Dark Enchantress. Matcha just left her family for the woods and was kind of forgotten until she popped up again after the transformation.
Goblin, Dr. Bones, and Zombie are old friends. They don't get to see each other as much as they used to, but still have a strong bond.
Pilot is Hero's grandfather. Pilot used to take Hero on trips in his plane when the latter was younger. Nowadays, Hero sometimes flies Pilot around using his suit.
Skater and Chestnut are brothers. I don't really have a reason for headcanoning this, I just think it's cute.
Ion Robot and Cyborg have encountered Strawberry Crepe once. They had a nice conversation and wish to see each other again.
Moonlight, Moon Rabbit, and Cream Unicorn are a family, with Moonlight being the mother. Except Moonlight accidentally abandoned her children so oops.
Moon Rabbit and Space Doughnut live together.
Despite being a space and time criminal, Twizzly Gummy isn't inherently a bad person. She's just overly chaotic.
Dark Choco, Pink Choco, White Choco, Mint Choco, the Chess Choco Twins, Choco Ball, and any other "choco" cookie that I forgot are all siblings. Dark Cacao banged a lot.
Due to being Licorice's best friend, Zombie sometimes wanders into the CoD base uninvited and just hangs out. The CoD have accepted it as a normal occurrence and have even offered to let him live there (even if it's just to further their evil plans).
Salt, Pirate, and Captain Ice are a poly triad/thruple.
I think that's all of them. A lot more than I was expecting lol. (I had to leave out all the chocos and cacao in the tags because I quite literally can't tag them all)

“ you... must be a friend of aisling’s, right? sorry, i don’t mean to be rude, i’m just kinda new here. i’m gabriela. “ her hand extends hesitantly, a practiced motion that doesn’t quite have the opportunity to feel natural just yet. it’s been a week since she came to live here. eight days, technically, but who’s counting? and considering the first five days were spent in a blur of endless meetings, appointments, exams and skype calls, she thinks she ought to be given a little leeway in terms of familiarity just yet. but aisling did mention that some friends of the family would be joining them tonight... and she trusts these people more than she expected herself to be capable of. so surely that must mean that any friend of the family can be considered a friend of hers. right? it isn’t until a snowflake drifts in towards the doorway, landing in the stranger’s black hair, that she realizes just how rude she’s being to her new potential pal. “ oh! god, i’m sorry, come on in! the heating is on, and richard is setting up a fire in the living room, if you wanna go in there? aisling’s on the balcony, it’s just down the hallway and through the last room on the left. or, if you prefer, i can go let her know you’re here? “
@namcre liked THIS POST for a family holiday dinner starter! ( and if u want namor to go mingling, i’ll put the locations of the other muses in the tags! )
