BOX ART!

Yall I am SO excited to be able to share this with you - honestly one of my favorite locations in the series and I got to bring it to life!!

Go buy an Ayda statue, we all need our bird librarian (birdbrarian?) in our lives ♥

[eiuuei]

Ayda Aguefort & Garthy O’Brien!

Ayda is explaining her new discovery/hyperfixation to them at the Compass Points library!

Another kofi request! If you’re also interested in recommending or requesting a sketch check this post out!!

[probablyemery]

Here’s some silly little branding and other misc. designs for the Compass Points Library that I did for fun!

Ayda Aguefort I miss youuu <3

[jesse-is-inarguably-purple]

imagine ur garthy o’brien, just trying to fuck this hot ranger you met at your brothel that you own, except her teenage kids/wards/bosses keep knocking on the door to your bedroom and interrupting you guys and THEN you learn that she’s actually in a committed relationship but didn’t tell you, so THAT sucks but THEN one of the teens comes and finds you in the middle of the night yelling about how his friend is gone and they can’t find him and he might be in danger, so you help him teleport to his friend, and then when they all get back, looking extremely upset and dejected, you apologize to the ranger’s daughter for making her feel uncomfortable by fucking her mother and in the process SHE reveals to you that her mom’s boyfriend is actually this really cool werewolf guy that you KNOW and have fucked on multiple occasions

one of the things that continues to strike me on reread is how much the character of Darcy, and Austen through him, finds Mr. Bennet dead. And how much Elizabeth, in growing and changing and discarding her past blindness, has to move past her way of seeing her father and thus of seeing reality, because the two are connected! Darcy’s letter exposes her father’s flaws to Elizabeth in a way she’d never been able to see before. Most especially the way his laziness and neglect of his own gifts have hurt his family and that ultimately he doesn’t. care. Not enough to change. It literally says that she comes home from Hunsford and tries to laugh at her sisters’ and mother’s folly (the way she used to; the way her father has taught her to by example for her whole life) and she can’t anymore! It sticks in her throat. She is grieved by the failures that she sees in him, all the more so because she IS his favorite and she loves him! And the thing about Mr. Bennet is he never changes. The Lydia/wickham situation exposes to him sharply his own conduct and the consequences and he feels it! Because he is neither stupid nor unfeeling. But he, like everyone, has free will. And he chooses not to change when the opportunity presents itself. He even jokes about how quickly his feeling bad will pass and how soon everything will go back to normal, to his laziness and his selfishness. He is set in his ways and he serves as a contrast to Elizabeth’s personal journey because he embodies a version of a person she could have become and was in danger of becoming if her only goal at all times was to laugh at and judge people from the sidelines.

[jammjar]

I feel so normal about her getting diagnosed, okay?

Inspired by this post :)

[heygangitstheo]

here, have a concept: ayda aguefort but her design is based off of the flaming duolingo owl image that appears when you've extended your streak

[smokewars]

im just saying i think its interesting that despite how ultimately bleak, selfish and cruel the city and its residents are - its still extremely common for people (mainly fixers) to work together. and yeah i know its because there's strength in numbers, but at the same time a lot of those people get attached to others in the offices or syndicates they work in. they celebrate together, go drinking together and some of them even fall in love with each other. despite everything, there's still love and companionship to be found in that hellish world

[chiropteracupola]

cable tier and mothycompass intrigue me..... (and i won't ask you about research draft although that sounds interesting too!)

cable tier got lost in the deep depths of my hornblower wip doc for a While, and while I don't know what I was planning for with it, it exists mostly as 'young extremely overworked hornblower falling asleep in places he shouldn't.' thus:

“Whatever possessed you to go sleeping in the carpenters’-walk?” asked Bush, with a strange, soft fondness in his voice. Hornblower muttered something noncommittal. He had intended words, but none came to him, and all that was left to him was a soft sound that meant nothing at all. “You can’t go on burning the candle at both ends like this, sir,” said Bush softly, as Hornblower slumped against him. “There are other lieutenants — no, no, I only mean that you need not do more than your share of the work!” For Hornblower had clutched at his sleeve, and stared up at Bush with a desperation in his face that he could not voice.

moth and compass has been mine and @natdrinkstea's oc project since early 2022, but I only took to actually writing anything from that world quite recently! here's a bit of that:

“And there lies good Sir Patrick Spens, with the Scots lords at his feet…” Moth cuddled down into the quilt, with Peregrine snug against their chest, and thought of the good old sailor in the song, sitting at the bottom of the sea in the wreckage of the ship. They could almost see him in that mind-ocean behind their eyes, with his hair floating above his head in the green-dark, and the soft sad smile on his face. And there around him would be the lords of Scotland, with their silks and velvets all gone to make curtains for the mermaids, and their bones and their jewels alike covered over with all the little crawling things of the sea floor. “The fish will eat the lords of Scotland,” thought Moth, drifting, “but they will not eat Sir Patrick Spens.” It did not seem that they could do such a thing.

[headspace-hotel]

really disheartening to see how much eco-fascist and eugenicist bullshit has embedded itself into writings about human relationship with nature. I was looking at a copy of a book in the library a while back called Humans Vs. Nature and found this (Discussing early human migrations in the Paleolithic)

To my great dismay, I did not record the source for this claim, But I found these pictures again, and of course I think...How do we know that?

How could we know that Paleolithic hunter-gatherers deliberately controlled their populations by periods of abstaining from sex? That would be incredibly hard to support using archaeological evidence. It seems easier to support infanticide using the archaeological record, so I was not initially troubled by that.

The author is also stating that Paleolithic humans killed their disabled. I have been searching high and low for evidence to support this claim and the closest I've come to any evidence regarding disability in the Paleolithic is this book chapter discussing whether or not it makes sense to assume compassion existed in pre-history. This book chapter gives the impression that the research has been...really dismal.

The two sides of the debate are essentially, "humans probably cared for their disabled in prehistory, because pathologies and injuries are common and they would have needed some kind of care" and "well maybe those people could survive just fine on their own and that's why they lived. We can't prove they were actually disabled."

Not an anthropologist, but I think it's pretty stupid to position a compassionless society as the "null hypothesis," especially based upon chimpanzees. Why would Paleolithic humans be more behaviorally similar to a relative separated by 5 to 13 million years of evolutionary divergence, than to their own descendants a mere few thousand years later????????

But the claim in Humans Vs. Nature isn't just that disabled people weren't cared for, it's that they were deliberately "eliminated," which is a statement with a much higher burden of proof. You would have to find the remains of disabled humans from that time period with clear evidence that they were killed because they were disabled, and you would have to observe this consistently in many sites, to come to the conclusion that it was a cultural norm.

We have many examples of elaborate, seemingly honorable burials for people that were apparently disabled and would have lived a long time with their disabilities. Nothing I've read has mentioned an archaeological record of killing people for being disabled, which would be a glaring oversight, unless it didn't exist, which I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

How did we get to the point where this kind of fucking bullshit sounds so plausible and correct that it makes it into a best selling book without anyone looking it up to see if it's true.

[fatliberation]

they have a point though. you wouldn't need everyone to accommodate you if you just lost weight, but you're too lazy to stick to a healthy diet and exercise. it's that simple. I'd like to see you back up your claims, but you have no proof. you have got to stop lying to yourselves and face the facts

Must I go through this again? Fine. FINE. You guys are working my nerves today. You want to talk about facing the facts? Let's face the fucking facts.

In 2022, the US market cap of the weight loss industry was $75 billion [1, 3]. In 2021, the global market cap of the weight loss industry was estimated at $224.27 billion [2]. 

In 2020, the market shrunk by about 25%, but rebounded and then some since then [1, 3] By 2030, the global weight loss industry is expected to be valued at $405.4 billion [2]. If diets really worked, this industry would fall overnight.

Over 50 years of research conclusively demonstrates that virtually everyone who intentionally loses weight by manipulating their eating and exercise habits will regain the weight they lost within 3-5 years. And 75% will actually regain more weight than they lost [4].

Doctors became so desperate that they resorted to amputating parts of the digestive tract (bariatric surgery) in the hopes that it might finally result in long-term weight-loss. Except that doesn’t work either. [6] And it turns out it causes death [7],  addiction [8], malnutrition [9], and suicide [7].

Studies have observed that about 30% of so-called “normal weight” people are “unhealthy” whereas about 50% of so-called “overweight” people are “healthy”. Thus, using the BMI as an indicator of health results in the misclassification of some 75 million people in the United States alone [20].

While epidemiologists use BMI to calculate national obesity rates (nearly 35% for adults and 18% for kids), the distinctions can be arbitrary. In 1998, the National Institutes of Health lowered the overweight threshold from 27.8 to 25—branding roughly 29 million Americans as fat overnight—to match international guidelines. But critics noted that those guidelines were drafted in part by the International Obesity Task Force, whose two principal funders were companies making weight loss drugs [21].

imagine Fig asking Ayda if she'd still love her if she was a worm and Ayda takes it the wrong way thinking Fig will turn into a worm soon. This leads to Ayda doing extensive research on how to care for worms. One day Fig comes to the compass point library and notices an empty terrarium and asks Ayda about it. Ayda is bashful but answers,"It is for you. If you become a worm, I will give you the utmost care. I will mist your terrarium. I will put vitamin powder in the soil to keep you healthy. Your well being is most important to me. Even if you become a worm." Fig is touched and almost in tears

Retrograde Planets in The Birth Chart

Each retrograde is a soul apprenticeship. They’re not delays. They’re depth points, the places you return to, not to repeat, but to remember differently.

☿ Mercury Retrograde

You carry a library no one knows how to read. Your thoughts echo like footsteps in a long corridor, not lost, just layered. In other lives, your voice filled rooms. In this one, it fills journals. You speak in spirals now, words folding inward before they ever land. You’re not here to be quick. You’re here to be precise, like a compass spinning until it finds north.

♀ Venus Retrograde

Your heart is a locked garden, not barren, but sacred. In other lives, you gave too much, too fast. Became beautiful for them, not for you. Now, love grows inward like ivy: slow, deliberate, protective. You’re not here to be adored. You’re here to be felt. And only those who wait long enough to touch the roots will ever reach the bloom.

♂ Mars Retrograde

You are a fire that learns to wait for its match. In other lifetimes, you charged without direction, all heat, no intention. This life slows you to a smolder. You burn cleaner now. Quieter. Your anger turns to architecture. Your action becomes a vow. You don’t fight for the sake of fighting, you move when the soul says “now.”

♃ Jupiter Retrograde

You are a preacher who burned the pulpit. In past lives, your wisdom roared. Now, it returns as a question mark, not an exclamation. You’re here to relearn faith without spectacle, belief that hums, not hollers. Your philosophy isn’t loud. It’s lived. You don’t grow wide, you grow inward, like a tree learning how deep its roots can go before reaching the sky again.

♄ Saturn Retrograde

You were once the law, or crushed beneath it. You’ve built empires and buried yourself inside them. Now, your structure is self-forged. You are a cathedral built stone by stone in private. Discipline, for you, is sacred repair. Responsibility isn’t punishment, it’s penance for promises once broken. You’re not here to control. You’re here to carry your power with clean hands.

♅ Uranus Retrograde

You are a storm turned inward. In other lives, you broke rules with fireworks. Now, your rebellion lives in silence, in strange choices, in the courage to free yourself from within. You don’t shout your difference. You wear it like second skin. The lightning still strikes, but this time, it illuminates the inside of your heart first.

♆ Neptune Retrograde

You are a prophet learning to stay awake. In past lives, you slipped too far into dreams, lost yourself in stories that weren’t yours to carry. This time, your vision is gentler. It drips through like honey, not flood. You see what others miss, not because you escape, but because you stay. The divine still sings, but now, you listen with boundaries.

♇ Pluto Retrograde

You were once the gatekeeper to power, or the one it consumed. Now, your transformation is quiet. You don’t burn in public. You smolder in silence. Every death is internal. Every rebirth begins with a whisper. You don’t destroy to feel alive. You let what no longer serves you rot and turn it into soil.

[thewisecheerio]

Messmer's actually terrible at his job. (affectionate)

Messmer is a fascinating villain, because he is strangely compassionate. I would go so far as to argue that this same compassion that is so at odds with his villainy is the very thing that drove him to become that villain in the first place. Hang with me; this is a long post.

Spoilers for Elden Ring DLC. Obviously.

Messmer tells us himself that his purpose is to purge all those stripped of the grace of gold. "Yet...my purpose standeth unchanged. Those stripped of grace of gold shall all meet death...in the embrace of Messmer's flame." We can piece together who gave him this genocidal purpose from his armor set's description, which tells us directly that he's working on his mother's behalf *and also* taking all the blame for it.

So he's playing war criminal on Marika's behalf. And I do mean playing. I'm not downplaying the fact that he is a war criminal; he has murdered on entire people. But here's the thing: he's *terrible* at playing the sole part of the spiteful, hateful overlord. He's *awful* at reveling in war and its victories.

Why? Empathy.

Messmer is strangely empathic for what could have otherwise been a cut-and-dry villain:

1. His relationship with Gaius, an Albinauric: We learn from Gaius's Remembrance that he was Messmer's bestie. We also know that Gaius was an Albinauric both from his armor as well as the location "Albinauric's Hut" in the direction he comes from at the beginning of his fight. Albinaurics are despised by the Golden Order, but Messmer didn't seem to care. In fact, he cared so little that he gave Gaius command of either a huge chunk or perhaps his entire army, second only to him. And what is given as the basis of this friendship? The fact that they were "both cursed from birth", i.e. a mutual understanding of what it is to be despised. They're trauma bonded because they have empathy for each other's predicament.

2. His relationship with the Jar people: Even though the Jar people were used as weapons of war against his own people, he doesn't seem to resent them. How do we know? There is a hospital where the Jars and their innards are being cared for in the Storehouse, a stone's throw away from where Messmer spends all his time. There are even a few baby Jars running around in it. Strange thing to do to what is essentially an enemy of your people, unless you consider them to also be victims of the same conflict.

3. His relationship with his soldiers: Messmer shares his own flame with his army. Yeah, that absolutely could be interpreted as a utilitarian move for the sake of war. Power up the troops, boost your chance at victory. But it's a strange choice when he could have just armed them in the traditional way of handing them sharp, pointy objects and pointing in the desired direction of stabbing. Instead, arming your soldiers with your own power could also be interpreted as something you do when you care about their survival and are potentially working directly with them to ensure it.

4. The mourning of people who betray him: Speaking of his soldiers, Messmer gets betrayed by at least a few of them. We learn this from the ashes of Andreas and Huw. Huw's ashes further tell us that Messmer *mourned their loss* as brothers-in-arms. Weird thing to do to someone who has betrayed you, unless you care very deeply about them to begin with.

5. The implications of the Storehouse: Even though he is actively genociding Hornsent on Marika's orders, he somehow has preserved an entire library of their history. At first, I thought this was maybe just British Museum vibes: steal all the artifacts and refuse to give them back. (And that could still be a correct interpretation.) But in context of the rest of these points, if you're truly hellbent on erasing a culture, why would you bother to preserve any of it? Would you not burn the libraries along with the people? It's a fairly common thing to do in our world's wars--destroy the art and history to ensure full erasure. And yet, it seems he can't even bring himself to avoid some small amount of sympathy for the people he was explicitly tasked with killing. If you really *think* about the basis for his sympathy for Marika, this does make a lot of sense. Messmer is following Marika's orders because he knows about what the Hornsent did to the Shaman. Wouldn't it then also be the case that once Marika's reign became nothing but genocide, i.e. an exact reversal of what was done to her people, he would have the same kind of sympathy for them? Perhaps this is a form of harm reduction in the only way he could square with what he thinks is his purpose.

6. His own self-hatred: Messmer despises his own flames, which we learn from the Messmer's Orb description. If you were happy to be Doing a Genocide, would you not celebrate your weapons of war? Wouldn't you take pride in them as tools of power? Unless, of course, you're not actually as happy as we think and maybe having regrets and come to be filled with severe self-hatred. Woops.

So then, if Messmer is this guy running around with a lot of Big Feelings (and probably a deep need for a Prozac prescription), why does he even agree to this genocide in the first place? Isn't that an *odd* choice for someone who seems to care pretty deeply about people, even people despised by his family's governing order? Why does he carry out these orders even to the point of developing a deep self-hatred?

This is where Messmer's sympathy, one of his best aspects, also becomes his fatal flaw.

I mentioned above in 5 that Messmer has access to information about both sides of this conflict. As much as he might have sympathy for everyone around him--including weapons used against the Shaman like the Jars--that means he *also* has sympathy for the Shaman. So if you have sympathy for the other side and sympathy for your side, and you are raised by your own side, then what is the natural outcome? Your side wins. If you must choose a side, then you fight on behalf of Child Soldier Fostering Mother Marika. She raised you, after all. It's inevitable.

In the end, that same sympathy he seems to extend to others also is what causes him to do war crimes. Out of an abundance of sympathy for what happened to the Shamans, he agrees to take up arms.

At the end of the day, he's still a villain that needs to be stopped so that he'll stop oppressing an entire people on behalf of his mother's misguided attempts at revenge. But making his reasoning to agree to become that villain in the first place *empathy* of all things? Fascinating.

“This isn’t the world you taught me about.”

“It is. It just needs more work.”

Some days I can brush off the ugliness that’s growing and growing every day, but yesterday was not one of those days. Watching my beloved Muppet friends with my son makes me feel so awful that we’ve gotten to this point after growing up learning to include others, embrace our differences, support libraries and parks, learn everything we can, and cultivate compassion.

But as Kermit himself said, “We have nothing to be ashamed of. We tried our best, and if we failed, we failed together, and I still think that’s a win.”

Sending out all the love in the world. Maybe it will help.

[elodieunderglass]

Yes... @lovedthestars-toofondly yes he would. Without understanding the reference. or that it's a reference.

Ken is of course one of the universe's natural Route Planners. In his Duke of Edinburgh expedition as a tiny baby Ken, his team role was Navigator (and of course they got gold.)

His orientation is so straight you can use him as a ruler. He's so steady that compasses point to HIM. He can even follow Charlie conversations. He likes ordinance survey maps, geological maps, and canal route planners (in fairness, those are easy - canals don't have a lot of junctions.)

So think it would be extra funny if he goes the fuck to pieces in London. Lost on the londerground. Absolutely fucked trying to get to the geolsoc library in fucking piccadilly where he is ironically going to look up a map. FUCK. HELP.
