Songs for Far Cry The Silver Chronicles, Life, Despair & Monsters and A Radioactive Calamity Of Love, Bombs & Gore. Music below the cut.

Vega, my Fallout 76 OC, is one of the "Residents" of Vault 76. Originally a settlement planner, she is now on a quest of revenge against the other residents of Vault 76 for "wrongfully" leaving her behind in the vault. Truthfully nobody wanted to deal with her bullshit and didn't want to wait on her when they had a job they'd been waiting 25 years to do, so they left her to sleep in (because she had a bit wee too much to drink during the night of Reclamation Day), thinking she'd catch up to them later. Vega did not take it likely. She also has a particularly concerning obsession with Vault 76's Overseer, viewing the older woman as her rival (even if the Overseer views Vega as merely a minor annoyance at best and always poking holes in Vega's delusions). This song pretty much sums up Vega's POV regarding the Overseer (and her fellow Vault 76's Residents).

"Oh, wherever you go You know I will follow you You know I will run to you Oh, the sun and the moon It don't matter what you do You know I will run to you

Can't believe in all this time I'm hurting for you But you feel like hold down The love you give it lift's so high I'm dying for it I'm dying for it And I can't let you go

Hide away, hide away from me Hide away, hide away from me Hide away, hide away from me Or you'll lose, or you'll lose Hide away, hide away from me Hide away, hide away from me Hide away, hide away from me Or you'll lose, or you'll lose

If you hide away I'll hunt you down And follow you to the end of the Earth My heart beats with yours My lungs breathe with yours You're a piece of me I can't hide away

Oh, I'm under your spell I'm making and I'm fading And nobody can see I'm your heartbeat You're part of me

Can't believe in all this time I'm hurting for you But you feel like hold down The love you give it lift's so high I'm dying for it I'm dying for it And I can't let you go

Hide away, hide away from me Hide away, hide away from me Hide away, hide away from me Or you'll lose, or you'll lose Hide away, hide away from me Hide away, hide away from me Hide away, hide away from me Or you'll lose, or you'll lose."

Have a lovely ship song between Mercy Omar-Seed and Carmina Rye (the former is the daughter of Silva Omar and Faith Seed, the latter the daughter of Nick and Kim Rye). While Old Dusk (the WIP of the New Dawn arc) can be quite bleak (not as bleak as Silva's Hope though) due to the circumstances, this relationship is one of the most heartwarming highlights that I've been developing.

"Let's go below zero and hide from the sun I'll love you forever where we'll have some fun Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily Please don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby

My snowman and me, hey My snowman and me Baby

Don't cry snowman, don't you fear the sun Who'll carry me without legs to run, honey? Without legs to run, honey? Don't cry snowman, don't you shed a tear Who'll hear my secrets if you don't have ears, baby? If you don't have ears, baby?

I want you to know that I'm never leaving Because I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons So come on let's go."

Imagine being amongst a group of individuals who have been brutally mutilated, experimented on or in general fucked over by the same short dude who's not only from another dimension and can travel through it to other worlds, but also runs a cult-like science organization dead-set on ruining humanity's life to help them "evolve" and laugh at their despair... well, that's the crux of Life, Despair & Monsters, a group of individuals, some of whom sure weren't the greatest (but still didn't deserve what happened to them), whose lives were negatively and irreversibly impacted by that of one Sir Enigma Malvolio and his Ruins of the Midnight Rise. All because he wanted to see how humans could cope with erratically spontaneous and disastrous change to their livelihoods.

"You say I'm craving hope in this darkness You say I'm just a joke, just a joke

Shivers my spine so much Swimming in the river styx too much They try to let go of us But the truth is... Once you're in then You're one of us

Truth is... Once you're in then You're one of us One of us Truth is once you're in then You're one of us

My darling in fire My darling rolls in fire You liar You say my darling rolls in fire, in fire You say my darling burns in fire You're a liar."

I just had the most exiting realization!! I’ve seen some people refer to Raph and Mikey as the sun shine duo, and originally that got me thinking about how that would make the twins the moonlight duo yeah?

But then I was listening to “When the Sun Loves the Moon” by Reinaeiry and I’ve always put Leo and Mikey into the position of Sun and Moon (not in a TC*ST kinda way but in a color coordination kinda way) and the last few lines of the song go

“Oh how they long, for dawn”

And I originally thought of how in the context of colors of the ninja turtles that would be Raph and Donnie, right? But i didn’t really know what colors dawn was so I started looking at pictures of dawn and dusk and now I see that

Mikey and Leo as a duo would be the Dawn duo and Donnie and Raph are the Dusk duo. This is because dawn is typically blue with yellows showing up with cloudy or hazy skies, while dusk is typically light lavenders and pinks.

List of places to get the Šehhinah trilogy

Since I've revised two out of three of the Šehhinah books, here's a list of information about how to get the right editions of The Stars That Rise At Dawn, The Birds That Fly At Dusk, and The Lives That Argue For Us. I'll have this info on my website when it's up and running, but in the meantime, all info should be in this pinned post.

Where to review: goodreads / itch /storygraph / amazon

EBOOK

The ebook should be the updated version everywhere you can purchase it. However, if you've bought the old edition before and would like a free revised ebook, or are having trouble getting the file to update, the first two books (the ones that have been revised) are pay what you want on itch, or you could shoot me an ask and I'll send you a copy. You could also pirate it lol, but no promises it’ll be the right edition.

The Stars That Rise At Dawn: Amazon , Itch.io, and any of these online ebook stores The Birds That Fly At Dusk: Amazon, Itch.io, and any of these listed online ebook stores The Lives That Argue For Us: Amazon, Itch.io, and any other listed online ebook stores

PRINT

For maximum info I'll put the isbn for revised print paperbacks in every bookstore and library OTHER than amazon, although I’m linking to B&N here for ease:

The Stars That Rise At Dawn: 9798223943327 The Birds That Fly At Dusk: 9798224055579 The Lives That Argue For Us: 9798224431328

Amazon likes to have a proprietary special isbn of their own (lol) and also resellers love to flood the amazon listing with resells, some costing more than the original, for reasons I cannot understand. However, the price for each book should be $14.99 and the isbn and other amazon-specific info for the revised paperback editions are under the cut:

The Stars That Rise At Dawn: 978-1078124454 The Birds That Fly At Dusk: 979-8372112704 The Lives That Argue For Us: 979-8372113367

(circled is the correct edition)

I revised these tarot cards from my major arcana

[lepertamar]

again thinking about this and again too meandered off to feel like adding it to a reblog addition, about a specific casual ableism overlooking i did here with the line:

(though hm. within holy-circles, tongue-price holies (eg the option that can be explicitly nonconsensually done) specifically perhaps? but that's a subset)

the idea of tongue-prices, from verbally speaking a name of g-d with the tongue, being the ONLY way to force g-d to holify someone isn’t actually canon! what’s canon is that finding out one of g-d’s names is the only way to force it. from birds:

“Although, you can find out one of Their names, of course. Then They can’t reject you. That’s how Lilith did it.  So, if you’re really serious about it, why not try that?”

i know intellectually perfectly well that sign language is — linguistically and neurologically and etc — the same as speech (unlike writing, which isn’t btw! it’s a different skill), but clearly my brain casually conflated language with speech in remembering it, instead of remembering the exact wording.

so — there are probably many hand/arm-price holies who signed a name of g-d, consensually or not.

in fact! if it was done with realism/verisimilitude/research accuracy on the part of the in-universe author, it’s probably the method the fictional protagonist of the in-universe novel in chapter 5 of stars used to lose both of her hands followed by intense regret and dislike, as in Birds g-d is suspicious of and insulted by holification requests that are motivated by misunderstandings and projection about the request’s relevance or lack thereof to the actual underlying desire. i mean afaict it sounds like the unnamed novel might be an uncharitable depiction, and therefore might not have much accuracy, but otoh we never find out how the book ends, we don’t know if the depiction is negative as in bigoted/meanspirited or simply negative as in focused on the potential negative outcome of an incredibly high-risk action. and lucifer’s projection and wishful thinking in summarizing it is pretty thick. and i know i definitely prefer the reading that the situation the novel depicts is a possible one rather than impossible.

and even if it is a meanspirited fearmongering depiction, that might ironically be even more fitting: the very next two epistolary texts in Stars that appear after that novel — in chapter 6 — have a theme of the emotional valence of a text and the factual implications of it being at odds, even more specifically than the general recurrence throughout Stars of texts that explain concepts in an intensely alienating and misleading, even if not actually factually inaccurate, way. the epigraph of ch 6 is the fallen angel asriel railing against the devil-like seductive corruption of g-dfire in a way where the most interesting interpretation imo is that nothing they say is actually untrue, just a very funny ‘wow you’re talking about this like it’s a bad thing.’ and, in the book yenatru’s reading, by the angel israfil, whose treatise mentions g-d-manifestation in neatly logical and reassuringly positive terms, but terms that appear to at the very least have basically no experiential truthfulness/salience, especially by the end of the series.

I have such a huge crush on spring. I look at the trees and think soon there will be budding leaves on these and it gives me butterflies in my stomach.
