Genuine question; how is it self publishing with Lulu and are there any copyright issues? Thinking about taking some of my older world building and turning it into a Actual Novel.
I hope it's okay if I answer this publicly, I've had a few questions about it recently!
I've been doing it long enough that my frame of reference for difficulty may be a little skewed, but it's relatively straightforward -- Lulu has a publishing wizard that walks you through selecting options, uploading a document, adding a cover, and such. There is still a lot you have to do yourself that they don't really tell you how to, but it's not hard to google for some and they do have forums that cover other bits.
There are generally speaking no copyright issues with going through a self-publisher, but it depends on the services you obtain from them. With Lulu -- as with, I think, most Print-On-Demand printers -- there's an array of routes to go from unpublished document to published book.
So you can do it all yourself -- you can edit, proof, typeset, design the cover, purchase an ISBN, and do all the marketing. Or, at any step in the process, you can purchase services from Lulu that will do that for you. I can't recommend purchasing their proofing/design/marketing stuff; on the one hand it's where they make their money, but because of that they're not providing super great value for what you pay. And as a self-publisher, unless you have a massive platform or great marketing and hustle, you probably won't recoup in sales what you paid for.
Whether or not you buy other services, Lulu charges a per-book print fee, but you set your own prices, so like the book might cost $5 to print, but if you set the price at $10 you're making a pretty sweet profit per book. Some other POD publishers also charge a "setup" fee, but I'm not familiar with what that entails.
In any case, there's only one point at which copyright becomes an issue, which is the ISBN -- the serial number and barcode that identifies your book so that (for example) bookstores can sell it and libraries can stock it. You don't HAVE to have an ISBN, but it makes it much harder to get it distributed if you don't.
You can obtain an ISBN on your own -- cost varies by country, many make them available for free but in the US a single ISBN is $125 or you can buy like 100 for $500. If you want to have one but don't want to buy one, Lulu will give you one, but they then become the publisher of record. I don't really know how that works in terms of copyright, but it does impact some rights to the book, so if you use a Lulu-issued ISBN that would be something to research. If you're just publishing a book through them without using their ISBN, they're basically a printer -- they have no right to your book as an item of intellectual property.
Now, outside of copyright considerations, it is certainly more work to self-pub. If you want it to look professional you have to have access to a good program for typesetting, you have to know how to set margins and gutters, title/author headers and page number footers, and if you want to do an epub that's a whole other ball of wax.
I don't get super fancy. I typeset in Word, because Libre Office and Open Office (at least last I checked) didn't have a few of the features Word has, but any other program has a much higher learning barrier to entry. You also have to upload the document as a PDF, so you have to be able to save/print it as a PDF.
Lulu does have a cover-design app you can use to make a cover, but it's extremely basic, so if you don't want your cover to look like it was designed in Canva, you'll need access to a design program like Photoshop or Glimpse, or to commission a cover from someone who does. Once you've uploaded your document, Lulu will give you a template that tells you exactly what size your cover should be, where the bleed margins are, and etc.
And then we get into the nitty-gritty stuff like how only certain fonts can be used for the document (there are twelve fonts that Lulu allows, it's listed on their site somewhere, I just use Garamond) and you need to make sure any art that goes on the cover is either free for use or Creative Commons or similar (or you buy the art for use). Google does have a handy Creative Commons filter on their imagesearch function, which has been useful for me in the past, but on the copyright pages of many of my books you'll see credit given for images used.
So to do your first book there is a bit of a steep learning curve, but once you're past the curve, you'll have some pretty good skills for future publishing. I did a book a year for several years, in my twenties, and then didn't publish at all for several years, and had to relearn a lot when I started publishing again, but it came back pretty quickly. And depending on how fancy or professional you want your book to look, you don't necessarily have to put in a TON of work. Like, I try to make mine look as much like pro-published books as possible, but some authors on Lulu just shove a formatted word document into a PDF and call it a day, they don't bother with headers/footers and fancy formatting and such.
In any case, while I think going the professional route of querying publishers and agents is laudable and certainly I wouldn't advise anyone to go to selfpub first thing, selfpub can be awfully satisfying, and it starts to feel kind of like a fun hobby after a while.

Right, now to watch episode 2 in detail
Aziraphale and Crowley well aware they have to play demon/Angel and prompting each other but also taking the time to have a little chat and an catch up.
‘I have a permit’ how very Ron Swanson
Oh, Muriel and Aziraphale working together all the way back at Job’s time! And poor Aziraphale, absolutely horrified at the bet, and the murder of the children.
Aziraphale is the only one to take Sitis’s feelings into account and consider she might not want to lose her children and give birth another seven times. And he’s the only Angel to understand that the dead children will be still be a devastating loss.
Gabriel is dressed as the shop assistant in Open All Hours proving not only does Aziraphale watch old British sitcoms, he thinks that’s the way actual life works.
All those years watching Mad Men and I never knew Jon Hamm could be funny and also sing.
Although - given Shax says ‘the kind of miracle only the mightiest of archangels could have performed’ I thought she meant Gabriel but after what Crowley said later about being able to access the records - is it him?
Ok the song when Aziraphale goes into Maggie’s shop this time is the glorious and heart rending ‘You don’t have to say you love me’ sung by Dusty Springfield. I thinks it’s best I just show you the lyrics
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you.
Anyway - the book ‘Jim’ waves in Saraqael’s face is a Pratchett - The Colour of Magic. Now they may have chosen this Pratchett as it’s the first Discworld BUT it may also have been a clue to look at the colour of the magical plume - purple.
The big book Jim uses to try to swat the fly is The Wicked Bible which has the commandment ‘Thou shalt commit adultery’ in it.
Crowley keeping an eye on the strange man sitting at Aziraphale’s table in the pub. I dunno, first he has a naked man in his place and now this bloke is chatting him up. Crowley definitely does that ‘he belongs to me, matey’ swagger when he walks up. (Mr Brown’s newspaper headline is Nebraskan Woman Taught Duck to Play Accordion. I don’t know why that is in the Metro, which is a London based newspaper about London)
The newspaper the man behind Mr Brown is holding has the headline ‘unearthed mysterious sealed library found’ Clue to S3?
Ok, Crowley has obviously been thinking about situations to make people fall instantly in love for a while, considering how quick off the mark he is for ideas to make Nina and Maggie fall in love. And Crowley now canonically has seen Four Weddings and a Funeral. And probably other Richard Curtis films. Crowley is canonically a rom-com fan!
I love how they both have different views of Jane Austen. She did all that and had an affair with Clara…
That whole ‘fall in love at a ball’ thing sounds more Heyer than Austen to be honest.
Jon Hamm is so good. Can we keep him? Have him star in British comedy shows forever?
And back to Job and this time Aziraphale isn’t playing a part. He is genuinely trying to stop Crowley and he’s shaking and afraid and doesn’t want to do this but he must.
Wait - when did we think the first time Crowley called Aziraphale Angel was? Cos he calls him Angel in this scene. And look - Aziraphale can see the goodness in Crowley even this early on. He knows Crowley doesn’t want to kill the children even as Crowley is trying so hard to convince him he’s bad.
And then Aziraphale says he knew the Angel Crowley was and Crowley says that’s not him now and so Crowley knew all along that Aziraphale knew him as an Angel!
‘I’m a demon. I lied!’ Except Crowley didn’t lie - as soon as Aziraphale showed faith in him he saved the children. And Crowley is clicking again…
Aziraphale’s not drinking reminds me of Maggie’s not drinking.
Crowley getting him to try the food means thousands of years later Aziraphale will want to save the Earth because of little restaurants where they know him….it’s a way of making sure Aziraphale loves the Earth as much as he does.
Crowley being on ‘his side’ sounds so lonely to Aziraphale - perhaps this is where he starts to join him.
Crowley and Aziraphale teaming up to trick the angels for the first time. And the for the first time Aziraphale lies to the angels - not obscure the issue, not cleverly manoeuvre around it, but straightforward lie.
‘Our car’ And while Crowley sleeps in the car (perhaps it’s where he feels safest after he saw the bookshop burn and he was trapped in his flat) he must spend a lot of time in the bookshop to be getting a lot of use out of it.
Looking at the books Gabriel is looking at. It includes The Crow Road, the book Muriel reads later. I’ve read most of them and they’re all very good books.
‘It was a nice day’. Thats Good Omens. Gabriel was about to read Good Omens. I know several of us have written fanfics where Good Omens the book exists in the Good Omens universe.
Poor Aziraphale. So certain he’s going to Fall. So certain he deserves it. And Crowley ‘I’m not taking you to Hell, Angel’. And that’s where it starts, isn’t it? Crowley’s absolute determination that Hell will not get his hands on Aziraphale and neither will Heaven starts here, as they sit side by side in companionship. Aziraphale is so scared and Crowley is kind in his way and that urge to protect him starts here, I think, just like Aziraphale’s determination that Crowley will not be alone started in the cellar when Crowley said he was on his side and Aziraphale thought tang was lonely.
I don’t think anyone has ever been kind to Aziraphale before. And I don’t think anyone has just kept Crowley company before. And now Crowley admits - he needs a friend. And he will protect that friend - his only friend - from both Heaven and Hell.

the thing is, you literally CAN wear noise cancelling headphones or earplugs wherever (ESPECIALLY to spaces like libraries). people who tic or stim involuntarily- note that word!- physically CANNOT stop themselves from doing so. autistic people, people with tourettes, people with cerebral palsy, etc., do not deserve being banned from places just because you choose not to use an accessibility tool
(Additional anon ask from presumably the same user reads: "oh wait you're a "whump" fanfictionbrained blog i see")
Aww hey, I got my first anon hate! And for context since this internet badass decided to go after me over anon, this is the post being complained about.
1: I'm autistic, buddy. I have been on both sides of this issue. I have literally been physically attacked for stimming in a way that didn't fucking affect anyone. I recognize that not everyone is able to suppress stimming or ticcing, but not everyone is able to "just take deep breaths" to deal with bad sensory inputs like the poster I was replying to talked about either. If you had actually read the post before deciding to jump down my throat you might have seen that I have both sound sensitivity and tactile sensory issues that make it very difficult to wear earplugs or headphones for long periods of time. An additional problem not mentioned is that essentially cutting off one of my senses in a sensory-overload-y environment makes me paranoid and feel unsafe. I am able to function well enough without headphones to get through daily life and only have to use them occasionally in environments where I can get in and out quickly, but I brought this up to make a point that some people have comorbidities that can make an accessibility tool not work well / at all for them.
Tactile sensitivity is very common in autistic people. Not everyone with it has issues with things touching their ears or head, but there are going to be people who noise-cancelling headphones are not a viable solution for at all, and dismissing that as just "choosing not to use" an accessibility tool is pretty ignorant.
2: My post was not "People with these conditions should be banned from public life." I am saying it seems like a lot of the internet's idea of resolving competing access needs is that 'disruptive' needs should be prioritized over 'vulnerable to disruption' needs 100% of the time in 100% of spaces, and that people with sensory issues should either suck it up or shut themselves away and not exist in public. If you want libraries to be less restrictive of noise then you need to offer quiet or soundproofed areas where people can read or do work without distraction.
Or, let's use theaters as an example. If you want to have a performance that accommodates audience members who are unable to avoid making noise for whatever reason, that's great. But then you need to offer quiet performances for people who can't enjoy the show with constant distractions, and if your response to people who need a quiet screening is "Suck it up, if you can't handle people talking loudly during the show than stay home and watch a recording!" that's just as unfair as "If you can't sit still and be quiet then stay home and watch a recording." If you have a problem with the second one but not the first, then you need to seriously fucking examine how you think about people with sensory sensitivities.
I seriously doubt whoever sent this ask is going to read this, but for everyone else: Sensory. Sensitivities. Are. Real. Disabilities. They are not easy for most public spaces to accommodate, which means in most cases we have to either use accessibility tools or avoid exposure, and that's kind of life. But please for the love of god do not use the existence of accessibility tools as an excuse to ignore and deprioritize doing literally anything else to make the world less hostile to us.

I need to just... let myself fully indulge and enjoy the thing that's actually somewhat easily accessible to me... The thing that is NOT that is ecology, because I can only watch so many seminars before my ass hurts from sitting. I wanna go out and observe, experience, and even record data beyond just documenting for iNaturalist. I COULD do that, but I'm still not *quite* physically up to par to do that yet. I'm still working on strength and endurance, and since my .už has covid right now, I'm avoiding exercise for a few weeks until we know the virus isn't in this household anymore (haven't been able to get boosted yet because it's hard to get a hold of pharmacies that have novavax), and it'll take me all year to feel somewhat "normal" again fitness-wise.
So instead, the most accessible special interest of mine is X-Men TAS, since *most* episodes in my pirated copy still work (until we get Disney+ again which won't be for a little while still), plus there are 2 books out on that very show (one of course being an art book). I sort of avoid even watching it right now despite how excited I am for X-Men '97 to come out because I know when I watch it, it'll trigger a hyperfocus that goes Kaio-ken times 10 that will make me one annoying asshole to my muž about it.
I'm gonna talk to him about it, because the topic WILL be brought up a lot no matter how much I try to avoid info-dumping things that I love.
And when it comes to automatic special interest bring-up despite my mood, I will always correct anyone regarding ecology and animals (especially the creepy-crawlies) and I know it pisses people off but guess what? I don't care. Creepy crawlies deserve to be understood and respected as much as a damn tiger or some other charismatic mammal. There's just so many books on the topic of zoology and ecology and entomology that I want and I can't afford to keep up with that. (Don't mention libraries because we live out in the sticks. That's has money, gang. We can't always afford that.)
The only other semi-accessible special interest I have is punk music, specifically certain subgenres like riot grrrl or bands like the Lunachicks, and I'm hoping to work on my CD collection this year, too. Unfortunately, I have to order online. The nearest store that sells CDs is one of the last Sam Goodys in existence which is a 40 minute drive and they don't have a while lot of CDs left.
Soooo X-Men TAS it is.
And if anyone wants to know who my favorite character is, it's Beast; I have such a crush on him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ALSO I WAS SEARCHING THE GIFS AND I FORGOT JAPAN ANIMATED THEIR OWN OPENING OF THE SHOW AND LOOKIT HANK! I've headcanoned is obscenely strong but holds back to keep others safe, kinda like George Newburn's Superman in the late 90s, early 00s cartoons.

On Being a Fucking Wizard
At least two or three times a month, my father stops by our side of the duplex and asks if I can do something that's either technically unfeasible or legally inadvisable - mostly for the purpose of his watching one or two network-produced shows.
Every single time, it goes as follows. First comes the request, phrased as if I owed him a magical fix ("Can't you do XYZ?"), then followed by a rejection of my first response, because he hasn't seen me check anything online. Insert "Can't you just check for me?" here.
First pass. I tell him there's nothing legally available. "Check again!" is his usual answer, with a sense of rising frustration. I can imagine him mulling over some beatific review for a documentary series on, I don't know, truckers getting tattooed by Native Americans up on the North Coast of Quebec or whatever - and thinking that his not being able to access it is some sort of personal slight.
In the latest case, what he wanted to watch was gatekept behind a cable subscription, and he's ditched his years ago. I remind him of that.
"Oh come on, there has to be a way, right? You pirate shit all the time!"
He's correct, the difference being that I pirate the mainstream. There is no seed group in existence that looks at TV5 and Unis.tv's repertoire and thinks "You know what the tracker needs? Web-rips of a TV show nobody outside of Quebec will ever watch."
I've already shown him how to browse my usual trackers. "I know, but I couldn't find anything!"
I blink. "So, what? You thought because I fix PCs and networks for a living that I was some sort of hacker god who could manifest super-niche content for you for free? Try checking Unis.tv's website to see if there's a streaming version of what you want.
Again. "Can't you do it for me?"
I sigh. "Dad, I love you - but this is ridiculous. You're sixty-seven years old, you can still work a Web browser and are nowhere near the kind of crippling dementia that would leave you unable to scroll through a streaming platform's library. If it's just a question of lack of time, put it off until after supper, like the adult I know you can be."
He goes for the usual low blows, mumbling that he never asks me for anything - which is an absolute and bold-faced lie. I just reply with a glare.
By the end of it all, he's made peace with the fact that what he wanted to watch is cable-or-bust, and Walt is giving me a look as we're settling to make our own dinner.
"Is that how I sounded back when I asked you for help with my iPhone?"
I grimace. "A little, sure - the difference being that you've got some savvy and that you're still mostly independent, technologically. I know you'd never ask me to pirate something that can't be accessed, hon. If it's in the mainstream, I can find it with my eyes closed. If you're asking about, I don't know, Jan Garbarek's concert in Oslo with a one-legged Opera Alto from Uzbekistan, as recorded back in February 1998 by some Manhattan Jazz groupie doing DMT - that'd be something else entirely."
Walt snickers. "Your father goes that much niche?"
I have to concur. "He'll spend hours on YouTube looking for shitty uploads of a concert he's seen before the Lake Meech Accords, and he'll then ask help to find the exact one he has in mind where some backup singer he can't even name wore a purple top - because that's all he remembers."
I smirk and imitate my father for a second. "Come on, Walt - you know what concert I'm talking about, right? The one where some girl goes 'UWAAAAAH' about thirty-six seconds into the beginning of the twelfth track on the setlist? Oh, and also, I think you could see someone in the front-row seats wearing mismatched socks, too."
Walt's trying not to laugh out loud, at this point. He ends it with a happy sigh.
"I'll try not to bug you too much with tech support, then."
I give him a smirk as I dice some carrots.
"I'm Sysadmin, anyway. If I need you to take some time off, all I need to do is revoke your server creds and lock you off from your Sales portals for a few hours. You're entirely at my mercy."
Sarah goes for mock terror and I add some dark chuckles - just in time to feel Walt push his stomach into my back and briefly loop an arm around my chest.
"Don't give us ideas, sweetheart - fooling around always feels better until after dinner, on Sundays..."

Underwing Challenge Day 3
"Who is your main cast? Describe as many of your OCs as you can cram into one post."
(Event Link) - (Day One) - (Day Two)
As many as I can cram into one post? Whooo-boy, you have no idea what you've asked for <3
Because Stolen is a Fantasy Romance, it's written in Third Person Close/Limited from the points of view of Stella Korazon and Reilly Mosswolf.
Stella Korazon
"Loving someone forever is the easy part, so long as you actually love them in the first place." - Stella
Tumblr media
At the start of Stolen, Stella is a young but very talented thief. She was raised by her Da', Colm Korazon in a wagon that they used to travel the East Coast caravan route of Moryann.
Her greatest skills include being able to read a persons body language, and her pick-pocketing. She was taught how to fight, but her preferred reaction is to evade, dodge, run, or a mixture of the three.
Physically she's small. Short, and very slim, and with long blonde hair to her waist/hips and large blue eyes that make her look younger than she is, a look that she often uses to her advantage.
Stella's also a very good mimic, she can copy people's patterns of speech and behaviors as long as she's given sufficient time to study them.
Her biggest disadvantage is innocence. While Stella isn't naive to the dangers of Moryann, or the darker sides of the world she lives in, her Da' always encouraged social isolation. Teaching her to trust him, herself, and no one else. This makes for a strange dichotomy to her character that I enjoy playing with where she might be able to flirt with a mark and fluster them enough to rifle through their pockets unnoticed, but blush and stumble when being on the receiving end of genuine thanks or kindness.
Reilly Mosswolf
"You're in trouble, and I can help. Do I need more of a reason than that?" - Reilly
Tumblr media
Reilly's parents were murdered when he was very young. He's elven, so very young for him was around 22 years, the developmental equivalent to mid-teens.
After his parents death, Reilly had his younger sister to look after, so he took to stealing. He was rather bad at it, and was caught. Luckily, for him, but the Guild Master of the Antillune Thieves Guild, Aldune Lamuird.
Instead of turning Reilly over to the guard, he took Reilly and his sister into the guild and looked after them, training both siblings himself when they expressed a desire to learn the trade.
At the start of Stolen, Reilly is 252 years old, and the current guild master having inherited his position from Aldune. Despite that he, and the guild, are in trouble.
For the previous year or two, there has been a rival guild from the Western side of Moryann beginning to encroach on the Antillune Guild's territory and while it hasn't yet escalated to an all out war, tensions are building.
Not least because around 6 months prior, Reilly's sister was found dead, having been clearly tortured. While Reilly is sure that the rival guild are responsible, he has no evidence and won't put the thieves under his protection at risk for a personal vendetta.
Physically, Reilly has the black eyes and sun-burnished skin of his mother's Desert Elf heritage. He also has black hair that he keeps shoulder length, and a scruff of a beard that helps give a messy edge to a face that would otherwise stand out in a crowd. He also has the traditional Forest Elf tattoo's that span from shoulder to wrist along his left arm; His family history written in elven.
His strengths are his experience, and his willingness to listen to opinions and advice other than his own. Reilly is a strong fighter, and Aldune taught him to carefully balance the racial specific talents of both his parents bloodlines, and to use them to his advantage. He has the powerful blows that belong to the forest clans, but the speed of the desert elves, making him a formidable opponent before he even picks up a blade.
Reilly's biggest disadvantage is his fear of losing people. Over the years, Reilly has lost almost everyone he's ever loved or cared for. His parents, Aldune, his sister Eryn, even a lover or two. He has an inner circle of people he relies on within the guild, six people he trusts above all others, but his best friend and the only one truly able to get through to him is Dara Brookor.
Reilly uses nicknames and pet-names to distance himself from his guild members, giving the illusion of closeness, but using the affectionate names to distance himself, and make sure he can't put a real name to a face should one of the people under his protection turn up dead.
It's when Reilly begins to use a person's real name, that they've truly begun to worm their way under his armor.
***
Stella and Reilly are surrounded by a small supporting cast, each of whom has a very important part to play in either the main characters lives, or the main plot, although that may not come to fruition within the first book...
Dara Brookor
"So you're trying to tell me that, when you realised you were developing a meaningful connection to a person you have known for less than a decade, you didn't panic, pull back, and avoid them like a complete moron?" - Dara
Tumblr media
Dara runs most of the administrative side of the Antillune Thieves Guild. She handles all the records, job allocations and thief payments, and is also responsible for pairing up thieves whose skills will compliment each other.
She's also the best friend to Reilly Mosswolf. She met Reilly, and his sister Eryn, when they were attempting to steal from one of her clients. Before joining the guild, Dara ran a brothel in Antillune, and when Eryn Mosswolf tried to disguise herself as an employee to get close to her target, Dara interfered in an attempt to protect her staff.
Once the situation was explained, she ended up helping Eryn and Reilly with their job, and occasionally passing along information on good targets if a client tried to skip out on their bill.
Dara is over six feet tall, and almost half as broad, which is the only sign of her part ogre heritage. She has honey-blonde curls that she keeps cut to her jaw, and dark blue-green eyes.
She made good use of her imposing form to keep her staff protected and her clients in line, but eventually her establishment was set on fire by a competitor, which is when Reilly asked her to work for him instead, in the administrative side of the guild.
The fact that it meant Reilly got out of most of the paperwork was, he swears, simply a bonus.
Dara's strength is her ability to connect with people. While she isn't a thief, her long history in Antillune has given her a network on contacts across the city that feed her a steady supply of information, and Dara can quickly utilise those contacts to seek out any specific leads she or the guild needs.
Her weakness is that she doesn't want to think badly of anyone, and it can cloud her judgement. She doesn't automatically look for deceit and deception, which has often led to her finding herself in dangerous situations.
Thankfully, Dara strikes an intimidating form, can curse like an Antillune sailor, and knows how to wield blades well enough to back up her threats.
Myris Orinan
"I am not the youngest graduate from the college of Wizardry in nearly two centuries for nothing." - Myris
Tumblr media
Myris Orinan is, simply put, a genius.
A forest elf in possession of extremely powerful elemental magic, Myris is one of only 3-4 people in Moryann who can control all four branches of elemental magic and manipulate them simultaneously to access the rare Kurro or Healing magic.
He completed his training at the College of Wizardry in less than 100 years, making him one of the youngest graduates to ever complete the training and he is also passable-to-fluent in over ten languages.
Myris is also entirely mute.
Married to Tanar Orinan, the pair met when Tanar had been hired to steal something from the library in the College of Wizardry. Myris discovered the thief, mid-job, because he'd been working late into the night and bound Tanar before demanding an explanation for his presence.
Tanar agreed to surrender the book, and forfeit the contract, in exchange for being allowed to court Myris and the pair were quickly inseparable.
Due to this close association with the Antillune Guild, however, Myris was attacked, kidnapped, and tortured for information on the guild, and on Reilly Mosswolf in particular.
Even though, at the time, he had no knowledge to give, his attackers punished him for withholding information by forcing an alchemical mixture into him that burnt away his vocal chords, effectively rending his magic useless as it's commonly accepted that without the ability to speak a spell, spellcasters and wizards are rendered powerless.
Myris proved everyone's theories on elemental magic wrong however by slowly developing his own language using hand positioning and finger shapes to communicate words and phrases, and with practice and strength of will he gradually taught himself how to cast spells with a non-verbal trigger, instead of a spoken one.
While Myris has physically recovered as well as he can from the experience, and his magic is as strong as ever, despite requiring more effort to cast non-verbally, Myris has been left with a powerful hatred of Vine, and an ever encroaching fear that such an attack will happen again.
After his recovery, and several assessments by the College to prove that he could continue to retain his Wizard title, Myris moved to the Antillune Thieves guild to work as their wizard in residence, providing wards and magical services to the guild in exchange for a modest fee and even working to create unique items to help the guild function better and to keep its members safer.
Myris does not leave the Guild grounds without Tanar by his side, and even then only in exceptional circumstances. If he is required to leave the guild for any reason, it also tends to leave him with nightmares for several weeks.
Honorable Mentions
I had some others I was going to do but this is so long already, and I'm already 7 hours into Day Four that I'm pushing them into an honorable mentions section instead.
Tanar Sotor Orinan, Indre Larieth, Lurall Penrith and Nilion Kurez are all additional members of the guilds Inner Circle.
Tanar is half plains elf and half human, and is married to Myris. He used to be the thief partner to Eryn Mosswolf after Reilly was made guild master.
Indre Larieth is a half-elf who was recruited by Nilion Kurez, but has remained steadfastly loyal to Reilly for many years. Due to her Snow Elf heritage she can appear stand-offish and cold, but she cares deeply for her chosen few, and will go to extraordinary lengths to do whatever she thinks is nessecary to protect them.
Lurall Penrith was once trained by the Ikhari guild of assassins. It wasn't a path he chose, but instead of running her decided to become good enough that the guild would have no choice but to allow him to leave. After he met Reilly, he leveraged the backing of another guild to convince the Ikhari to let him walk away. Lurall now runs the Guild Outpost in the Western Desert, but frequently visits Reilly in Antillune.
Nilion Kurez is a Forest Elf, and has been a member of the Antillune thieves guild since Aldune Lamuird founded it. He helped write many of the guilds laws, and has known Reilly most of his life, having watched him grow up inside the guild, and in many cases been one of Reilly's teachers.
Hawk Denill is the face of Vine in Book One, and the person who hires Stella to break into the guild and steal from Reilly Mosswolf. He is a dark character who I intend to be a thorn in Stella and Reilly's side for at least the first three books. Once a member of Reilly's own guild, Hawk was banished when the guild discovered he was responsible for a series of grisly murders in Antillune. Hawk has returned to the city only recently, confident with the backing of a new guild.
Liandra 'Andy' Jenkin is a bright but brash young thief who Dara partners with Stella once she settles into the guild. Andy is Human, but makes up for the disadvantages this gives her in speed and strength by sheer enthusiasm, and stubborn determination. Andy has a grudge of her own against Vine, since their people laid an ambush on her last job that injured her and killed her previous partner.
Colm Korazon is Stella's Da'. While Colm is also a thief, he's not a particularly good one. He raised Stella in a travelling caravan, using it as a base to sell all sorts of false herbal remedies, imitation magical items, and any other junk he could con people into purchasing. All the while training Stella to do what he could not. By the time she was old enough to blend in with the crowds that gathered around his stall, the items he attempted to sell were merely a distraction to allow Stella to silently search through pockets.

EDIT: Actually! I just found it inordinately confusing to figure out how and where is the legit right place to report vaccine side effects--and this seems like a pretty common experience. But, I've found people's responses to this post here and elsewhere to be sufficiently worth leaving it up, with this sole addendum:
https://vsafe.cdc.gov/en/
***
I might wind up deleting this if people get too weird about it, but I feel it is important--and not at all controversial--to say that it needs to be way, way easier to report vaccine side effects than it actually is.
First of all: I am NOT anti-vax. I personally know people whose lives have been changed by covid, and I take that very seriously. I got vaccinated, and I can't imagine a world in which I would have avoided it.
What I am, is pro- our ability to communicate about medical issues in a clear, efficient, useful manner.
So far, I've heard a lot about menstrual irregularities among vaccinated women. What I usually hear is, it's just a bunch of dumb clucks fear-mongering on social media because they don't know this can result from stress. However, I'm having this type of problem personally, and I have never experienced this in my life, even from extreme stress, which I have a lot of. So I thought ok, the right thing to do is to make an official report. Then it's a matter of records and statistics for professionals to evaluate, and not, er..."hysteria". Ugh.
I just spent an hour trying to work this out.
First I downloaded the V-Safe app that is specifically designed to let people report adverse vaccine experiences. Like many of the people who helped give this app its 2 star rating in the Play Store, I couldn't even get past the registration page. Can't sign up, can't report my experience. The only thing the app did, was give me this weird push notification about a system that monitors air pressure in you car's tires. I actually can't even find out what the message is about, because when I click on it, it takes me to the impenetrable login page.
Tumblr media
So then I went to https://vaers.hhs.gov/index.html on my phone. They have two options for reporting a possible adverse reaction (you are encouraged to report even if you're not positive your unusual symptoms are vaccine-related, as mine may or may not be): an online form, and a downloadable PDF. I went with option 1, and got all the way to step 26 before I realized that I couldn't submit it. I don't know why. I didn't get an error, but the button remained grayed out. Eventually I was able to get it working on my laptop instead, but I don't think it's fair to assume that everybody in the world has reliable computer access--and, if the form still didn't work, I guarantee not everybody in the world has easy access to Acrobat, which is necessary to fill out the PDF. If you're not feeling well, you might not want to go to your school or the library or something. If you have a mild, non-emergency situation like I do, you may not want to go to the doctor, especially during a pandemic when a lot of people NEED doctors to be available. (If this goes on and on and on I will see my doctor)
I would bet that a lot of people would have given up before I did, and I think that's a big problem--especially when the easiest alternative is to go vent on Twitter or whatever, and needlessly scare people with anecdotal information, or expose yourself to accusations of something as noxiously retro as "hysteria". We need vaccines, just as much as we need solid ways of aggregating and understanding the kind of information that helps people manage their expectations and get whatever type of aftercare they might need. That V-Safe app, that they told me to download at my vaccination site, ain't cutting it.
Anyway, what I'm really trying to say is, please get vaccinated, but please also do your best to report possible side effects--even if it's really frustrating, you'll get there. It's not about being anti-vaccine, it's about building real understanding that will help others in the long run.

I.7, III.7, V.7
Which Disciplines do they possess, and which do they favor using?
So, she just has the standard Ventrue disciplines. Presence, Dominate, and Fortitude. By choice, she'd prefer to rely on presence. That said, because of her background, I felt it made more sense that fortitude and dominate were more heavily invested in as a matter of necessity. Despite the fact that it's what she'd prefer to be using, it's actually her weakest 😔
Have they Embraced anyone? Ghouled anyone?
No embraces. She has ghouled people - difficult, really, to operate as a Ventrue without them. Right now she has five - three that operate sort of as? idk I guess secretaries is the best word. Each night, one is working at the university library, one is at her private library, and the third has the night off. If someone needs to make contact with her but doesn't know the location of her library-haven, they can go to the university library and the one working there is able to make contact. These three are Carol, Chloe, and Jeremy - Carol is the oldest, and came with Antonia from San Diego. Jeremy is the youngest, and was only ghouled in April of 2021, after his predecessor, Jordan, was killed in New York.
The remaining two are Sandra Cohen, a registrar at the university, and Victor Gaylord, who is involved with policy-making and administration of the university. Sandra is well-placed to manipulate records to suit Antonia's needs, and Victor is able to direct policy to suit Antonia's purposes. He also manages her money, because she has three dots in resources and none in finance 😌
…Clan Ministry (Followers of Set)?
Fun little discrepancy! So, I try really hard to pay attention to what she would actually know. I, as a human person with access to the internet, have the ability to know way more about the world of VtM than a character could dream of knowing, especially given how carefully secrets and knowledge are kept in VtM. So, last year when she was asked about the Setites, I said that she hadn't met any, since they're supposed to be a less-common clan and my ST had established that (to Antonia's knowledge) they are not present in OKC.
Fast forward a year, and I decide to run a mini-chronicle for some folks new to VtM set during the Anarch Revolt in San Diego. One of the players creates a character that logically would have dealt with Setites, and another's character concept made a natural Setite. Well, that's fine! It's not like Antonia knew every kindred in San Diego-
By the end of the chronicle, the Setite had gained power in an area that Antonia absolutely would have had to interface with 🙃. I'm still deciding how and if I want to retcon the conflicting information.
Anyway, Florence the Setite almost certainly wasn't someone Antonia particularly admired, and she has an abstract but still pronounced dislike of a certain Parisian Setite elder, so by and large she doesn't think much of the clan as a whole, despite limited experience.

Chloe does night-time diary posts on HER tumblr, so I'm going to start doing them here, sometimes. It would be nice if you read it, but, please, don't feel obligated! This is more for me to write.
(I got tired of my normal journal, I guess. It's full of bad poetry anyway. Besides, where's the thrill of losing anonymity in a physical notebook?)
I've basically been asleep and depressed for several days, because I had withdrawal after not being able to get my adhd meds. But, I got it today, and DID THINGS. (This is SO much better than before!)
Today, I went to a small café or restaurant (focused on tea) called Alice's Teacup that was Alice in Wonderland themed! My long-standing obsession with Alice in Wonderland knows no bounds. It was a really cute place. I got pumpkin pancakes, and some really good iced tea. Like... REALLY good iced tea.
Still, it seemed like the entire place was geared towards having a pot of tea and snacks with your friends, which left me a bit lonely. The person I asked couldn't come, and by the time I heard back, I was more than halfway there. Still, I read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and watched Monty Python on my phone, so I still had a good time!
I dressed pretty eccentricly and effeminately all day, but, with my facial hair, I was ALWAYS coded as a man, even by people on the street! Pastels, a stupid hat, a crop top, and facial hair was a winning combination.
On my way, I was stopped by some guys soliciting for charity. I don't make a habit of stopping for strangers on the streets of Manhattan. What if it's a scam? What if I'm being pressured to buy something? What if it's a strange political rant? But, I had already taken my earbuds off, I wasn't in a hurry, and I'm terminally polite. The first guy said he liked my energy, which seemed to come from a genuine place, because I liked his too!
They were asking for donations for a breast cancer charity, the United Breast Cancer Foundation. After a discussion, it seems like the charity helps pay medical debt, medical bills, and other practical needs, which is much better than *some* others I could name. I regretted not being able to give their minimum there, as it was pretty high, but told them I'd give what I could when I got on the website.
I... did not. Money is tight, because I'm bad and irresponsible with money, even though this is more than a worthy cause. I didn't NEED to go to that tea place, and I don't NEED to spend so much money on food. Sure, I can justify it: I wanted to go to that place for so long, and it was near the college anyway! But, if I was responsible with money, you KNOW my friends direct fundraising drives would go first, worthy charities second. Still, I feel bad about it.
Then, I went to the college library, to get books to start my thesis research. I have literally been unable to go to the college itself, aside from getting my ID, so this was great! There just wasn't a reason. It was... very empty. I went to the library stacks, which was deathly quiet and deeply haunted by the old books. I half expected something to pop out at me, as I turned the stacks, but I wasn't even paranoid or anxious. It was like I was in something else's house. I was welcome, but on thin ice.
I picked up an irrelevant psychology book on the "schizophrenia problem" from the 1930s, out of morbid fascination, and quickly put it down when it threatened to shatter in my hands.
Some students walked past (which was a suprise in those monastic basement library stacks), and I added something to their conversation, in a totally natural and casual way. But, omg the poor girls, I made them jump! Luckily, I'm the least threatening person on earth, and we laughed it off.
After a lot of hunting, I got 5 out of my 10 books (for the most part)! (The rest are, sadly, online. I like to read physical copies.) Strangely, I only came in with a list to get 3 books out of 6.
Most of the books I got are about art in the AIDS crisis, which is the core of my thesis, I think, all with different value. One about exhibitions, one about the larger narrative of those gay artists, and another contradicting the larger narrative.
I also got a book about "Art and Homosexuality". Just, the parallel construction of both "art" and "homosexuality" across cultures and times, from earliest history to the modern age. It wasn't on my initial list, but I'm really excited to read it.
Finally, I got a book called "The Thief, the Cross and the Wheel", about the pain and spectacle of punishment in Medieval and Renaissance European art. I'm mainly interested in Italian Renaissance art of the crucifixion--and its masochism--for the second quarter of my thesis.
The rest are online, and Should mostly focus on Bacchus in the Italian Renaissance (especially through art) and what I call the art of "gay liberation", concurrent with the AIDS crisis (i.e. The Cockettes). These two topics make up the last half of my thesis.
I'm SO excited to get started!!
I even got to cross the college's sky-bridges! (The college is a few skyscrapers.) Still, the loneliness and novelty were kind of the same thought. Imagine if I had been here before COVID, or, if COVID hadn't happened. Who would I have been able to meet? What would the college buildings mean to me? Because, for now, they're just buildings. But, I got to see the street from above, and that was amazing!
Just walking through New York--the Upper East Side--on a cool, sunny day was beautiful. It takes 20-30 minutes to get from my place to the college (and the tea place), but it was great being able to listen to my music (a lot of They Might Be Giants on the playlist today) and see the city. You know, people, super cool old architecture being pushed out by terrible new architecture, and pigeons.
Oh my god, the pigeons. I took pictures, but none of them are good. I kept thinking about how pigeons and doves are functionally the same. We domesticated pigeons, which is why they're here, and no one is stopping to notice them? Even the ones that were splotched with pure white, like doves? There's only so many pigeons you can take until they're just white noise and a nuisance, I know, so don't think I'm blaming anyone! But it's so hard to look away from these quirky little birds.
Also, at one point my walk, I was vaping very strategicly. The mental task of searching through library stacks will do that to you, when you already have an addiction to nicotine. I made sure no one was around, and no one would be affected. I stopped on a corner next to an old, ornate Catholic church while the traffic light changed, and I almost juuled right next to a priest! I'm glad I stopped. I don't believe in Hell, but, I would have walked down there myself had I vaped at a priest. Still, the church advertised itself as LGBT+ friendly, so maybe they aren't so trigger happy on the damnation. Either way, I DIDN'T vape at a priest today, which is good.
Once I got back, I spent a few hours watching things with my amazing girlfriend Chloe, who you may know here as @cisphobiccommunistopinions. She is so beautiful, and I love her more every day, every time I see her. God, it's almost been 5 years!
I just wish I could spend more time with her. She's in Virginia, and I'm in New York. Like she said to me earlier, I'm flighty at the best of times, and, with my lack of object permanence for the digital world, I find myself not giving her the attention I deserve, or, the full connection I long to have with her. We used to live together. Luckily, someday we will live together again! All these problems won't be forever, and we can live together again.
We watched a lot of things, but we're pretty deep into Serial Experiments Lain right now. It's a postmodern anime from the 90s, and, wow, do I have no idea what's going on in it. It's about the internet, and potentially schizophrenia as well. However, I'm obsessed! One day I'll be able to crack this artistic code, and it's unreality, thematic knots, and double-meanings. I will probably understand it better on the second watch. I don't see myself in Lain, but I see my 14 year old self in her, when I had just developed schizophrenia. Her cyberpunk fate seems like it's railroaded towards tragedy, but I want to save her, even if it's silly and irrational.
I told Chloe that I was scared about spilling apple cider on my library books, and she referred to it as "The Great Apple Juice Disaster of September 11, 2021." To which I said that it was the second worst thing to happen in New York on that date. It was funnier if you were there, and also were in my brain at the time.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm meeting some online acquaintances from the college's "Queer Srudent Union" at a Japanese Culture Fair in a park. (I do not know which park.) It emphasizes "fun"! I don't know them very well, but they're friends with the one person I know irl, so it should be good.
Tomorrow night, I should Probably head downtown to check out a gallery show by MFA (masters of fine arts) students at Hunter! After all, I was in a group project with one of them, and they're absolutely brilliant. I missed the Thursday gallery opening by a landslide, because of the aforementioned lack of adhd meds and Being Asleep, which I infinitely regret. I could have listened to all the artists and curators talk about their art and exhibition! Maybe I could have even talked with the artists and curators. But, it's best for me to go sooner, rather than later, so I don't forget. And, I REALLY want to go.
It's "This dialogue which happened to be present in all other dialogues" at the Alyssa Davis Gallery. From the email I got, "Each of these works observes a threshold of transition. [...] [These] intimations [are] of a frame of mind shared by the artists. These works perform, record, access, engage, document, and entrap, embalming the viewer within the gallery space."
sgp is a really good artist, by the way. Their work is just next-level. Be sure to check out their art, if you have a chance. Let me link their portfolio: https://saragracepowell.com/
(I highly suspect spg and the other member of my group project ghosted me afterwards, but I understand. I was really in over my head. Still, they're both really sweet and kind people, don't get it twisted!)
I ALSO really want to see The Cake Boys. They're performing at the 3 Dollar Bill in Brooklyn on September 26th. (It's only $15!) They're the only all drag king collective in NYC! (Are... there any Other all drag king collectives out there?) Other than the fact that a lot of them are trans or nonbinary, which I love, this show is a totally non-judgmental competition for over 40 drag kings! I've heard their shows are hilarious and unique.
I just have to wait until I have $15 to spare. I... didn't eat dinner tonight, because I'm irresponsible with my money and don't want to ask my parents for money... again. Don't worry, it's literally fine, and I don't make a habit of doing this!
Which reminds me! For my birthday, my parents gave me a gift card to Lush! I'm definitely going to Lush tomorrow, which will be great. I would describe my personality as "Lush store employee acosting you about a bath bomb demonstration", so I'll fit right in.
I also made a transition timeline, to show how much I've changed on testosterone. For the better, I hope! I really believe I'm becoming, if not Have Become, the man I was always meant to be. It's so strange to look back at who I was not too long ago, and to know the absolute pain I was in. It's also strange, in a good way, to see the man looking back at me in the selfies. I'm so much happier now! Much more candid in my pictures, at least. But, I know that I'm so much more comfortable as myself than I was even 6 months ago. It's strange. Sometimes I think to myself, "I don't pass yet; I'm not who I Need To Be yet." Then, I look at my selfie from today, and... I'm THERE. My mind just hasn't caught up with my amazing, natural, normal reality.
The end. I have to get ready for bed, (even though I could be partying on a Saturday night in the city. I'm lame.) If you actually read this, I am kissing you on the mouth right now. I hope it made you calm down tonight, like a terrible bedtime story. If you didn't read it and just skipped to the end, don't worry: you did the rational thing.

You mentioned piracy in a recent post and I'm curious. How do you feel about pirating things you simply don't have access to? For a very long time the anime Evangelion was not available anywhere new. Your options as a American were to either buy expensive used DVD's or pirate it. Even Crunchyroll didn't have it. Eventually a Japanese (no subtitles) blu0ray release was made, but it was costly. Finally Netflix got the rights to host it. Before that though could you fault anyone for pirating it?
Overall I’m solidly pro-pirating media because every interaction with a text comes down to the same question: Can I buy it or not? If you can buy it then you give money to the artists who rightfully deserve it and that’s fantastic. However, if you can’t buy it and abstain from engaging with the media at all you’re potentially losing more than just your own enjoyment. What does that mean? It means that: 
Maybe I wasn’t able to pay to see the first film, but pirating the first got me interested in the series so now, two years later, I’m paying to see the second when I have more funds. 
Maybe I wasn’t able to pay for the monthly streaming service hosting this TV show, but now that I’ve pirated it I’m buying related merch. 
Maybe I wasn’t able to buy this book, but I downloaded it, told all my friends about it, wrote a positive review, and potentially set the stage for other copies to be sold. 
You are, in short, functioning like a fandom: you created a thing, I love the thing, I’m going to ‘pay’ you for that thing in ways other than cash and credit. 
Pirating isn’t quite the same thing as walking into a store and snatching a book off the shelf. In that scenario you’re harming the author’s potential (or expected) revenue as well as the very real costs that the store put into buying that book in the first place. When you pirate you’re only cutting into those potential profits--profits that still wouldn’t exist if you’d said, “Well I can’t pay for it so I won’t watch/read it at all.” Now, I want to emphasize that none of the above examples are a justifiable replacement for funds. There’s a reason artists on tumblr rightfully say, “No. You’re paying me for my commission. ‘Exposure’ isn’t a valid form of payment.” What I am saying is that there’s a massive difference among a) not being able to pay for a show created by a major corporation so you gain nothing and give nothing back, b) pirating that major show and giving back in the ways that you can, and c) trying to “pirate” art off of a 21yo college student who’s just looking to buy groceries. Yes, every artist deserves to be paid for their work regardless of whether they’ve sold two copies or two million, but---while a lovely and worthwhile sentiment--that doesn’t acknowledge that a lot of people just can’t. That money isn’t going to end up in the artist’s pocket regardless. 
Ignoring for a moment the fact that a good chunk of us are Millennials/Gen Z and can’t pay for shit anyway, other reasons you might be inclined to pirate include: 
You literally do not have access to this. At all. I’m a grad student out in Ohio. There is no way I can pay/take the time to go to NYC and see Hamilton play. I can, however, download a recording of the show and then buy the soundtrack. 
Similarly, costs are not always just the cost of the media itself. My closest movie theater is a small, non-profit place that doesn’t always play the latest blockbusters. The closest AMC where I could see those blockbusters? That’s an Uber drive away. I can’t afford that on top of a $10+ ticket. 
As we’re seeing now, most people can’t afford to pay a monthly fee for multiple different streaming services. The content isn’t all in one place? We’re only going to pay for a portion of the content then. Just buy cable? Distributors need to acknowledge that we’re moving away from that format too. Most people don’t want media laden with commercials anymore, or media that requires equally expensive, specialized tech to play it on. “Specialized” here meaning it only exists for entertainment. I need my laptop to do my job. Being able to watch stuff on it is a bonus, but I’d need to pay for a laptop whether it could play films and TV or not. Actual televisions though? They only exist as a form of recreation. They’re a pure luxury. 
A common rebuttal here is, “Just buy the DVD.” Except, as said, I don’t own a TV. And Mac took out their DVD player in order to produce another expense by forcing people to buy it separately. Which I haven’t done yet. So not only are DVDs functionally useless to me at the moment, but it’s the same issue as above: the overall price is far more than the cost of the media alone. 
Sometimes---as you point out, anon---the material is simply not available in your country. It might never be available. Maybe it will be, but that’s years from now...and telling someone to wait years to see the thing all their friends are currently invested in is not the most compelling argument. 
Also yes, sometimes media stops being produced and the price skyrockets. I’ve had books I desperately wanted but they were well over $100 used for an otherwise cheap paperback. (Funds that, notably, also wouldn’t be going to that original author, editor, cover designer, etc.) 
People have always had a complex and murky definition of what amount of profit is “enough” for an author. And we need to acknowledge that. Because if we all collectively believed that every individual really had to pay for their own access than we would never lend books to friends. We wouldn’t sell used. Or allow music on Youtube. Or have libraries. No one would ever share their Netflix login. We would be far more concerned with eliminating ALL forms of “free” access if we were truly that concerned with a 1:1 transaction. Whether people want to admit it or not, there’s a middle ground between “making sure an author is fairly compensated for their work” and “making sure that people have access to the media at all.” 
It all comes down to how you’re defining that fair compensation and yes, I do think it makes a difference who the author is and what sort of compensation you’re offering. I buy all my books because pirating those tends to do more damage than pirating TV. Complicating that, I have a Netflix account and watch One Day At a Time there because they need ratings a whole lot more than Breaking Bad does. However, I pirate John Oliver because I can’t afford an HBO account on top of a Netflix account. 
Which brings us to, “Then you shouldn’t watch John Oliver at all. That’s a privilege, not a right, and if you can’t pay for it then you don’t get it.” But here’s the thing: media is important. We do need it. We need stories, almost as much as we need food, water, and shelter. It’s easy to say, “You can’t pay for the Popular New Thing so you don’t get to engage with it” and a lot harder to convince people that they should accept that situation when they’ve found access to it another way. 
You know all that research proving that when given a basic income most people still choose to work? Same principles apply. When people have access to money they will spend it on entertainment. Always. I buy books. I go out to the movies. I buy music on iTunes. I go see plays when I can. But the “when I can” portion is a complex and, for many people, rather rare scenario. I guarantee you, it’s not a dystopian future of, “If we accept piracy then no one will ever buy anything ever!” because most people want to pay artists. They want to support films like Captain Marvel. They want to buy a hardcopy book to put on their shelf. They want another copy of that film to gift to a friend. But there are times when they simply can’t do that... so what are we left with? The issue is much less a moral one than a practical one. It comes down to that original question: Can I pay for it? Most people don’t go, “I can pay for it but am choosing not to because I’m a horrible, greedy person.” They go, “I can’t pay for it so you’re not getting my money regardless. The only question now is whether I’ll lose the enjoyment of your art and you’ll lose anything that I might have given back---even if what I have to offer doesn’t mean as much to you as money.”

All I can think now is about spacefam trying to fit in a modern world with actual jobs!!! That would be so hilarious... Imagine Bellamy working on a library like the nerd he is, he would be so excited with all those books and stories. Raven and Emori learning about the new technologies. I'm having trouble imagining Murphy and Echo. What do you think they'd do??? This got me very excited lol
I love the idea that their biggest challenge next season is just job hunting, honestly.
Here’s the thing, though. 
Bellamy would 100% be ecstatic to be a librarian. The first thing he does in the new world (after, like, scoping out the dangers and making sure they’ll be safe) is march himself on down to the nearest public library (”A library, guys! A real library! With more than 7 books! Open to the public!”) and proudly sign himself up for a library card. It’s literally his most prized possession. He constantly checks his pockets to make sure he still has it on him. Echo thinks it’s the cutest freaking thing she’s ever seen. 
Bellamy would absolutely love the library. But Bellamy would be so absolutely unqualified for the library. He’d have absolutely not concept of the organization system, no idea how to access the computers or records (literally has anyone from the Ark except for the people working in Earth Monitoring ever used a computer before?), he can’t type, etc. etc. He’d be the worst (but most enthusiastic) librarian ever.
Maybe they’d see that enthusiasm and hire him anyways? And he would be so determined to learn everything he needs to. At the six month mark, his fellow librarians throw him a party and give him a cake that says “finally understands the Dewey Decimal system” 
Raven would have a much easier time getting a job as a mechanic, because even if she doesn’t have an official degree or a resume, she at least still has the skills necessary to do that work. And she has more experience than anyone else her age would. (”Can you please tell us about a project you worked on?” “Well from the ages of 19-25 I was the sole mechanic responsible for a space ship that was falling apart.”) 
Emori, too, would likely be able to pick up a mechanic job. But at the same time, even if both of them have the skills, they’re used to working on much different and much older machines than what’s going to be on the new planet. So they would ALSO have to learn a lot of new information in order to do their job well.
I think if it became clear they needed to find work, I definitely think Echo would be determined to find a job and help provide for her family. But I think she’d also try to place herself in a position where she can learn the most possible about the threats of the new world. I honestly don’t know what that would be, but I definitely think she’d be half-earnest worker, half-spy.
I frankly don’t think Murphy would go get a job. Not just to continue the idea from s5 that he’s a layabout, but because I think the idea of having to have formal training/education would scare him off (and piss him off) and he’s also dealing with his continued self-esteem issues and his grief over Monty and Harper. Instead, I really, really like the thought of him taking over the gardening as a way to honor Monty. Even if they might not need to live off the algae farm anymore, I can see him continuing it anyways because he’s grieving Monty and the idea of letting Monty’s farm die along with him (which it likely mostly did, until Jordan probably starting tending to it again when he woke up) is something he can’t deal with.
(Which means, incidentally, that in this peaceful au, Emori supports her man and Murphy is a house husband who spends his time caring for plants. And I don’t know why, but I really love that au. Also you know how you’re supposed to talk to plants? Monty was probably all sweet to them, but Murphy literally just curses them out every 10 minutes and calls them all sons of bitches.)
Thanks for the ask!! Hope my tired rambling was coherent. Jason, write me a Spacekru sitcom already, I’m begging you.
Edit: I forgot to say the whole Murphy takes care of Monty’s algae farm headcanon came from @doortotomorrow and it’s my new favorite thing

TGIWednesday and moonlight path and the slow awakening
Tumblr media
TGIWednesday News
I never know what spirit will bring forth to write about.  But I was given the topic of the slow awakening.  So many folks ask me daily, What’s my purpose?  And my immediate from the hip reply is, “I don’t know, what do you like?” We all must follow our passion/dreams and signs.  I am fortunate enough to do what I love and contribute to others 7 days a week.  Folks often ask if I get tired.  I always say, it’s not plumbing or roofing, THAT would be tiring.  As this Pandemic winds down, and it will, I am sending you the energy of the slow awakening.  Flowers don’t go from seed to instant flower.  There is a process.  Know that you are on the path, that this can be your great comeback and your awakening into what is better, healthier and more profound and an opportunity to show and contribute to others along the way! 
Started these last year, but am working on 3 Summer projects for you! To be released over time before years end.   We’ll see when they’re ready and released, you’ll get PLENTY of notice for sure!   New Audio MP3’s in the pipeline The Creative: Artist, musician, writer, empath, healer, designer... Without even mentioning the above this next Audio MP3 will bring about the subtle energy, frequency, and vibrations to allow spirit to show you the simple creative way! My Aching Neck and Back: A shorter Audio MP3 recording for those with ocassional neck or back pain.  We’ll go step by step top to bottom through the spine and correlating parts. Freeing, releasing and super charged praying for releases of any and all discomfort.  Even a prayer at the end where we’ll include bulging, herniated or slipped disks, pinched nerves, bone spurrs, scoliosis, surgical pins and parts, bones, mucles, ligaments, tendons, joins, fascia, and cartilege etc.   My Life’s Purpose: Still stuck?  At the crossroads?  Looking for passive income or your career 2nd act. This Audio MP3 will call forth the creative energies, frequencies and vibrations of change and inspiration that can inspire, invigorate and enhance your next chess move!

From the Fish Box
"A very good afternoon to you Jimmy. I'm writting to appreciate you for your care and understanding during my session last month. One of my principal challenge was my injured spinal cord at the lumber and cervical area, from an accident i had in 1998 for which I carry an annoying implant following surgery. This situation like I told you led to my early retirement since I was in constant pains always tired, cant bend or kowtow. You worked on the lumber area that day with nothing eventful however around the third day I discovered that I could now stand up from sitting without the usual drama due to pains, I can now bend for a minute or two and stand up without much pains. It's like a dream to me Jimmy. I'm now planing on subscribing for more sessions. Sir I want you to know that I mean it when I say THANK YOU for this gift to me and I praise God for bringing me your way." - A. Daniel

I believe think, know and feel that the light of this full moon will illuminate what I need to change and create a path for success.  I know when, where, how and why to allow spirit to cast the light on the simple way allowing my life to flow with the divine. I'm  ready, willing and able to go with the flow of the planets, the sun, the moon and the stars that will shine a light on my success. I'm asking for this in all languages and throughout all time lines and so it is.

MAY 6th "Today I will ignore the naysayers and those who do not believe in me.  I will be steadfast in my direction and the pursuit of my dreams and visions.  I will recognize and decipher through the signs that spirit sends and I will realize the fulfillment of my dreams."
From the Fish Box
"A very good afternoon to you Jimmy. I'm writting to appreciate you for your care and understanding during my session last month. One of my principal challenge was my injured spinal cord at the lumber and cervical area, from an accident i had in 1998 for which I carry an annoying implant following surgery. This situation like I told you led to my early retirement since I was in constant pains always tired, cant bend or kowtow. You worked on the lumber area that day with nothing eventful however around the third day I discovered that I could now stand up from sitting without the usual drama due to pains, I can now bend for a minute or two and stand up without much pains. It's like a dream to me Jimmy. I'm now planing on subscribing for more sessions. Sir I want you to know that I mean it when I say THANK YOU for this gift to me and I praise God for bringing me your way." - A. Daniel

TGIWednesday and moonlight path and the slow awakening
Tumblr media
TGIWednesday News
I never know what spirit will bring forth to write about.  But I was given the topic of the slow awakening.  So many folks ask me daily, What’s my purpose?  And my immediate from the hip reply is, “I don’t know, what do you like?” We all must follow our passion/dreams and signs.  I am fortunate enough to do what I love and contribute to others 7 days a week.  Folks often ask if I get tired.  I always say, it’s not plumbing or roofing, THAT would be tiring.  As this Pandemic winds down, and it will, I am sending you the energy of the slow awakening.  Flowers don’t go from seed to instant flower.  There is a process.  Know that you are on the path, that this can be your great comeback and your awakening into what is better, healthier and more profound and an opportunity to show and contribute to others along the way! 
Started these last year, but am working on 3 Summer projects for you! To be released over time before years end.   We’ll see when they’re ready and released, you’ll get PLENTY of notice for sure!   New Audio MP3’s in the pipeline The Creative: Artist, musician, writer, empath, healer, designer... Without even mentioning the above this next Audio MP3 will bring about the subtle energy, frequency, and vibrations to allow spirit to show you the simple creative way! My Aching Neck and Back: A shorter Audio MP3 recording for those with ocassional neck or back pain.  We’ll go step by step top to bottom through the spine and correlating parts. Freeing, releasing and super charged praying for releases of any and all discomfort.  Even a prayer at the end where we’ll include bulging, herniated or slipped disks, pinched nerves, bone spurrs, scoliosis, surgical pins and parts, bones, mucles, ligaments, tendons, joins, fascia, and cartilege etc.   My Life’s Purpose: Still stuck?  At the crossroads?  Looking for passive income or your career 2nd act. This Audio MP3 will call forth the creative energies, frequencies and vibrations of change and inspiration that can inspire, invigorate and enhance your next chess move!
Monthly Zoom Event - MySwitchWorks
Next Zoom Event - Wednesday May 27th 7:30 PM Eastern Time These calls have become very popular and a great opportunity to get some specialized clearing each month. It’s always fun when we bring our tribe together and create MASSIVE clearings to help/contribute to all of us!!! Stay Tuned for the new sign up link and topic in the coming weeks.
