SAGAU where the Creator is slain once, accused of being an imposter, and reborn as... a Melusine.

there's screaming and pain, the sensation of a thin blade digging into your chest- then nothing. nothing but the soft melody of running water. tentatively you open your eyes are met with dancing colors and shapes, little shell houses and baubles making a small, cozy village. your hands have become mittens, your skin swirling with pretty patterns, a pair of antennae sprouting from your head, and where there were previously cuts dripping with blood have turned to markings that shimmer slightly in the light. another Melusine approaches you and asks if you're lost, and when you merely shrug she introduces herself as Cosanzeana and shows you her slowly growing flower garden.

it's nice here, in Merusea Village. unlike the rest of Teyvat, the Melusine don't know nor care much about any sort of Creator myths- they came from Elynas, after all- so they happily regard you as a sibling who simply got lost on the way. finally you're free from the world above, everyone who chases and tries to harm you, spending your days collecting components to trade and swimming beneath the waves. Mamere in particular becomes a close friend, both of you regarded as a little strange but still beloved by all your siblings. she shows you her artwork and you help her collect paint, and in the coldest nights when you're swarmed by bad dreams, you tell her of your previous life as she swears to keep it a secret.

the only time you venture out into the far caverns alone is when you meet a familiar face- Childe's Foul Legacy form. you always loved the transformation, when Teyvat was just a game on your computer, but now you hastily hop a few steps back. the others treated you as a fraud, tearing at your skin until you gave in and died- he would be exactly the same. but Foul Legacy just blinks, slowly crouching to your height and staring into your eyes, speckled with tiny stars. he trills quietly in awe, then lowers his head into a bow in presence of the true Creator.

the other Melusine cluster around you when you bring him back to Merusea, curiously poking at his armor and glittery wings. you all see him as beautiful, and he is beautiful! Legacy stays with you in the village, accepted with open arms, much like Seymour stayed with Mamere for a time, and it becomes common to see a slightly sparkly Melusine running around with an Abyssal beast at their heels. he swims with you, navigating through the Primordial Sea, and shields you from any outsiders that happen to appear, the ones who dared to harm his Creator so horribly.

you, a Melusine, and Foul Legacy, your protector and best friend.

The Full Moon Revelry wasn't as rowdy as promised, but it was still illuminating.

Beginning / Previous / Next

You can read more about Naomi and Micah's grandmother's sacrifice (and their mother's quest to revive her) here!

Naomi: It's not too late to turn around. I can already tell this thing will be full of freaks and weirdos.

Micah: No one forced you to join me, you know.

Olive: Spellcaster! Welcome!

Micah: Magic may run in the family, but I've never really called myself a-

Olive: Let us bask in each other's presence.

Micah: Oof. Um. Okay.

Naomi: Awfully touchy-feely for a stranger.

Olive: Your grandmother always spoke so highly of you both.

Naomi: [snorts] Yeah, right.

Micah: Wait, you know Grandma?

Olive: The dead and the living of Ravenwood owe her a great deal. If the Magic Realm had fallen all those years ago, the Netherworld would have shortly followed.

Naomi: Right. She sacrificed herself for the good of all Simkind, blah, blah, blah. You know what else runs in our family? Tall tales. Now, who the fuck is this ugly hunk of granite?

Olive: Why, naturally, that’s the Ancestor!

-

Ekade: Oh, yeah, I’ve got one of those cards. It’s yours for a small favor. Attend Afterlife Anonymous and report back to me. I’m doing a PhD on what makes ghosts choose to stay or leave. My working hypothesis: love.

-

Naomi: Can we go yet? This crowd is fucking lame.

Micah: We have to stay for the swim, at least.

Naomi: Oh, right, the exhibitionist parade. Yippee.

-

Naomi: Hellooooo! I thought we were all getting naked.

God, it’s freezing in there. Someone could have died!

Olive: Indeed. It’s rather a shame no one did.

Naomi: Lady, what’s wrong with you?

-

Micah: [softly] Another one of Alice's.

-

Micah: Naomi, wait! There's something buried here!

Juneteenth: Faith and Freedom (2022)

Pastor, educator, and descendant Rasool Berry examines how Christianity had been both weaponized against the enslaved in Texas, and [was] also a source of strength as they navigated different stages of liberation from Juneteenth through today. Berry connects with various experts, scholars, and historians in the state to unpack the suppressive use of faith — especially through the distribution of a “slave Bible” with redactions of any sections or scriptures pertaining to freedom and rebellion. The documentary tackles common but incisive questions, including why Black Americans would adopt Christianity when it was the faith of the enslavers who controlled them and how that same religion became an even stronger source of reprieve and validation as enslavement morphed into economic and legal bondage.

if you’ve worked with Oracle Forms, you’ve got stories. Maybe even scars. This infographic is a tribute to that journey. It walks you through every major version of Oracle Forms, from its early days with no GUI (yes, that happened) to the feature-packed releases of 12c and beyond.

It’s designed for:

Veteran developers who remember debugging in Form 4.0 and coding in PL/SQL like it was poetry.

Modernization teams trying to connect the dots between old tech and today’s cloud push.

CIOs and IT managers who want a clearer view of what their legacy apps are really built on.

The goal? To make you nod, smile, maybe groan a little—and see just how far we’ve all come. It’s simple, visual, and maybe even a little therapeutic. After all, knowing your past helps you plan a smarter future.
