Talon’s End Devlog: August 2024
I thought August would be less busy than July, but that unfortunately turned out not to be the case! I'm hoping to have the first AU extra finished in the first half of September, so there should be some good stuff coming for the small but vocal group of werewolf!Hawk enthusiasts. Modern AU Shea and deities AU poly will come a bit later on.
I've also returned to TE proper to take an editing pass on what I have written for the autumn festival. I'm expecting to do some major streamlining of what I have to focus more on quality and flow over quantity. It's still going to be a hefty update! Just hopefully more manageable to write and more enjoyable to play.
No spoilers this time! Instead, since I've been thinking about TE and lycanthropy, please enjoy this (not very serious) list of the ROs and MC's siblings(-in-law) as what lycanthropes they would be, purely based on vibes:
Hawk: wereraven
Shea: wereracoon
Soren: werewolf
Sabine: werebear
Isla: wereowl
Erich: werefox

Today marks the 1st day of the Mid Autumn 🎑 🍂 Moon 🌙 Festival. This is a day of celebration and legends of old that started in Asia. In China 🇨🇳 a Legend speaks about a Beautiful and Enchanting woman known as Chang'e, The Moon 🌙 ✨ Goddess.
In Chinese mythology, she is a subject of several legends in China. Referring her as a Beautiful woman who became a Immortal Goddess and wanted to be with her one true love, Houyi The Archer. But for some reason fate kept them separated apart and so with 2 elixirs that would make them Immortal Forever.
Chang'e drank hers but Houyi did not consume his straight away. But let Chang'e keep it with her, as he did not want to gain immortality without his beloved wife.
However, while Houyi went out hunting, his apprentice Fengmeng broke into his house and tried to force Chang'e to give the Elixir to him. She took them instead of giving them to Fengmeng.
Then, Chang'e flew upward past the Heavens, choosing the Moon 🌙 as a residence, as she loved her husband and hoped to live nearby him.
Houyi discovered what had transpired and felt guilty, so he displayed the fruits and cakes that Chang'e had enjoyed 🥮 , and killed himself.
Such a sad story but the Tale of this has inspired many throughout Centuries to Worship the Moon Goddess 🌙 🙏 ✨ on this day to be thankful and honor her Story with her beloved and hoping she will be reunited once again for all eternity.
Happy Mid Autumn Moon 🥮 Festival to all of Asia 🌏 and wherever you are to celebrate it. @autumnmoonfestival #autumnmoonfestival #moongoddess #change #mooncakes

Get to know me game (!)
thank you so much for the tags!!! @everythingbutcoldfire @tracingpatternswrites <3<3<3
Favorite color: blue blue blue every shade of it
Currently reading: um. Nietzsche's The Gay Science, an anthology of Simone Weil; both of which I'm half-daydreaming through. Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Tao Te Ching (still) (it's not a book you finish reading ig), and a biography of John Curry (a British figure skater). These are the books I've read some amount in the last three days. There are 10+ books in my currently reading list. It's not great I should stop. (I'm not going to) Tho tbf half of those are philosophy shit.
Last song: I've got on some random instrumental playlist to write to so ig that doesn't count- the last I remember listening to was Irreplaceable by Citizen Soldier, which I blame @heartofspells for.
Last series: nothing this summer!
Last movie: Hamilton! It was on the mid-autumn festival, we watched the moon and sang along to non stop while making dumplings it was v cute.
Currently working on: eeeeeek. This wild af fantasy au made of microfics. and I'm so excited. I can't believe I even came up with a plot for once. idek how to describe what I'm doing, mostly breaking linear time while still telling a linear story?? One of the reasons I loved PoA so much was the time travel plot, and I've loved every fic where something like it comes up, but I want and need a story that just breaks reality with its weird ass metaphysical soup. I don't know if I'll manage but hey this is my attempt.
ok um I have no idea who's done it so I'll leave open tag! pls pls go ahead if you wanna & tag me back!

Sawayaka Goro-san~~
Evening
Goro-san from the Sawayaka family!
Happy birthday!
I visited the birthday event!
Its been 4 years since I've been a guest!
Its the same cycle as the olympics!
I was quite looking forward to it,
staying light like, I wonder what we'll do~~
Wow, it was too funny the whole time, I laughed too much😂
Overlaying my timeline,
Over Goro-san's timeline,
Like, meanwhile Goro-san was..
We made a timeline like that,
Both Goro-san and Keita-san,
Joined Upfront when I was 3 years old,
They're great seniors…😕😕
Its scary to be a guest at their event…😕😕
Goro-san was standing the whole time,
and I was sitting…😕😕
Excuse me…😕😕
These 2 could be more pompous() but they are not at all, they always play around a lot, thank you very much as always
With the overlapping timeline,
The day I released my photobook Goro was.. just that,
Was a mystery to me being asked to look back on my photobook! lol
I thought I was the only guest,
Celebrating Goro-san,
Somehow,
Um,
Suzuki Keita-san!!
He appeared like, surprise lolololololol,
It was really wonderful surprise lolololololol
It was a good surprise lolololololol
Ishida was bursting out in surprise lolol at the appearance
I'm still only doing the full stomach side jump,
I thought, what is that? but,
(a fitness tes where you eat a piece of candy for each repetitive horizontal jump)
Since I really like persimmon peas,
I'm glad I was able to eat a lot🤤 lololol
After that, I rehearsed with my proper blue t-shirt🕺
Really,
it was super fun!
Although its at the frequency of the olympics,
I'll come back whenever I'm called✌🏻
Congratulations Okami-san!
Thank you very much for the ceremonial pitch,
at Rakuten Mobile Park Miyagi⚾️

Ibrahim "Ibrica" Jusić (1944) is Croatian chanson, folk, pop and sevdalinka singer-songwriter and musician. His song "Celuloidni pajac" (Celluloid Clown) was the winner of first place in the 1968 Zagreb Festival. He won the first prize at the same festival the following two years as well: in 1969 with the song "Osobenjak" (Eccentric) and in 1970 with the song "Mačka" (Cat.)
"Mačka"
U gradu, nije važno ime
U praznoj sobi, kaže priča
I usred ljeta, usred zime
Ja vidim tužnoga mladića
On živi sam i ko zanesen
U svome svijetu od papira
A vani sunce, kiša, jesen
A vani vergl nešto svira
No jednog dana šum kraj vrata
To netko neznan ući želi
U njegov život poput tata
Da njegovu samoću dijeli
A vani zima, vani sniježi
I pored praga mačka leži
On pruža ruke ko da sanja
A vani zora, svjetlost danja
No u tom času u tom trenu
Pred sobom vidje nagu ženu
I on joj reče Budi moja
A ona kaže Ja sam tvoja
I sve što ima mladić skupi
I stavi trgovcu na vagu
Da prstenjem od zlata kupi
I haljinu za svoju dragu
Da, zlato želi al ne haje
Za skromnu halju što joj daje
I tužni mladić svako večer
U novu krađu opet kreće
Jer on je želi on je ljubi
I volio bi da je mazi
A zna da svoju ljubav gubi
Bez darova i ruku praznih
I riješi tada još ove noći
U zadnju krađu on će poći
I u zoru se mladić vrati
Da strašnim novcem ljubav plati
I donese joj dragi kamen
U svijetu najveći od sviju
U kom se kao jedan plamen
Sve vatre ovog svijeta kriju
I vidje žena ruke pruža
I ljubi kamen kao muža
I kao što njega nikad nije
Uz tijelo hladan kamen grije
I dok se njemu lice grči
U sobu uđe miš i trči
I kao mačka skoči žena
Na plijen se baci istog trena
I stigne ga a njeni zubi
Već traže meso koje peče
I ženi koju mladić ljubi
Sa kuta usne krv poteče
U strahu mladić oči sklopi
Te strašne slike neka odu
On vidje lađu što se topi
I svoju ljubav na tom brodu
Al kada opet nađe snage
On digne vjeđe žene nema
I tada mjesto svoje drage
On vidje mačku kako drijema
Kroz prozor uđe svjetlost danja
On pruža ruke ko da sanja
Sad opet samo mačku ima
A vani studen, snijeg i zima
The Cat
In a town, of unrelated name
In an empty room, the story goes
In mid summer as in mid winter
A sad youngster I can see
He lives alone like in rapture
In his world of paper
And outside there’s sun, rain and autumn
And outside there’s sound of a street organ playing
Yet one day, a noise by the door
Some stranger wants to sneak
In his life like a thief
To share his solitude
And outside there’s winter, outside there’s snowfall
By his doorsill a cat lays
He opens his arms like in a dream
And outside it dawns, outside a new day breaks
But in that moment, in that minute
In front of him occurs a naked woman
And he told her be mine!
And she said I’m yours!
And all his goods young man gathers
And puts it on the merchant’s scales
With golden rings to buy his love
And gowns for his darling
Yes, she wants gold but doesn’t prize
The modest robes that he gives her
Thus sad youngster each evening
A new theft commences
Since he craves her, he worships her
He wants to embrace her
But he knows that his love evaporates
With no presents and bare hands
So he decides on that night
One last theft he will make
With the break of dawn youngster reappears
To pay for love with dire money
So he brought her a gemstone
The biggest of them all
Which assembles in one flame
All the fires of this world
He saw a woman reaching out
Kissing a bead like a spouse
And she does as she’s never done with him
Warms a cold stone against her figure
And as his face writhes
A mouse scurries in the room
Like a cat woman leaps
On her prey pounces promptly
She snares it while her teeth
Already seek the stinging flesh
And there’s young man’s love
Blood trickling down her lips
Dreaded youngster shuts his eyes
To make those grisly pictures go away
So he saw a sinking ship
And his young love on that boat
Once he regained his courage
And lifted his eyelids, the woman was gone
In the place of his darling
He saw a cat napping
Through the window daylight enters
He opens his arms like in a dream
Once again all he has is a cat
And outside there’s cold, snow and winter

an au starter for @erstwhles !
it was the beginning of autumn and with the festival coming up soon and the plentiful grape harvest, the excitement maría had always craved was soon to be buzzing all around her. unfortunately, she would be doomed to another season of watching the wonderful world she was so endlessly curious about from her bedroom window. growing into an intelligent and inquisitive young lady, maría felt her bedroom to be a glorified bird's cage. she so desperately wanted to see the world that was not confined to her bedroom and the small farm and few grapevines that surrounded their cottage.
her isolation, though frustrating, was not without reason. maría had been born with a weak heart. a condition physicians had warned her parents could cut her life short if she were exposed to significant stressors. losing their mother as children and their father as young adults, maría and her brother, bernardo were left to tend to their family's land just outside of their village. and becoming his sister's caretaker, bernardo had become more protective than ever. it is for your health, hermana. he would always say before crossing the bridge into the village to go to work leaving her to her daily duties. a consolation in his eyes but more of the same for maría.
at least with the changing seasons she’d be tasked with harvesting the grapes. lacing her shoes and hooking her basket to her arm, she wandered a bit farther than bernardo would’ve liked. with the basket full, she began to make her way back home when she happened upon an animal —— a horse ! it was unlike any horse she had ever seen, not that she'd seen a great deal of horses up close. either way, maría keeps her distance for a moment before approaching cautiously. much to her surprise, the creature doesn't seem at all phased. in fact, it seems just as curious at she was. “ hello... ” she whispers in greeting. she glances down at the basket hooked to her arm before plucking a grape from the bunches inside and lets in roll into her palm. “ ¿ te gustan las uvas ? ” lifting her hand closer, “ grapes — do you like them ? ” she giggles as the animal nibbled at the fruit from her hand, “ oh, mmhmm. you do. ” a few more grapes are spared between new friends, “ are you all alone ? ” she asks but their moment is cut short by the sound of human footsteps. feeling the speed of her heartbeat tick slightly with fright, maría hides in the thick of grapevines peering from behind the leaves where she watches a man approaching her grape eating friend.

boarchasers replied to your post : "Wait, where did you get that?" [Trond][calm down...
To risk it, or not to risk it? With a gift of mead involved, it was barely even a decision. Trond took the tankard with a less severe glare than usual. ‘Think you’re funny, citizen? Think again. And… thanks.’
The Khajiit’s grin widened, but he seemed at ease. Not drunk yet, but judging by his apparent lighthearted mood, he was on the way.
“I’m hilarious. Don’t know what you’re talking about. Glad to see that you got this festival off, enjoy the festivities without having to duck and hide from your commander.” He giggled when Ghost quietly approached, then nudged his shoulder, then turned to lipping at his ear.
“After all, a festival isn’t a festival unless you can relax and enjoy it properly.”

Guest name: Icarus
Race: Altmer
Gender: Male
Date: While Icarus will definitely protest having his brother called his date, Aldaril is tagging along to actually enjoy the activities instead of drinking the entire time.
Outfit: One of his more valued vestments from home. A white silk shirt accompanied by a grey longlined vest. Most Altmer would recognize this as something you would find the reeves wearing back home, and why on nirns grren earth would he be wearing them here of all places?! The dark pants also seem to be tailored by rather valuable fabrics. The leather boots seem a tad original compared to the rest of the outfit, but Icarus claims the boots that went with the outfit were left at home, to be left unsoiled by Skyrim muck. Aldaril claims Icarus simply forgot them.

Autumn Festival
Hjolrin and Haaki will be attending much like they did last year.
Trond, however, does not have to work this time, since his shift covered the last festival. He will be hanging around in simple, casual clothes, probably near the food stalls or whatever Amelie has dragged him towards.

astarill:
He arched a brow, turning his head to look at her. The small smirk curling the corner of his mouth was probably enough to convey to her what he would’ve said if he’d been in more of a joking mood: That he should bloody well hope she was glad, if she was still here. She accepted his invitation, after all, and it wasn’t even on pain of death.
But, he wasn’t in enough of a joking mood, so instead he had a sip of his mulled wine, nodded, and returned his attention to the crowd, people-watching.
“Feeling’s mutual.”
A little chuckle left her as he turned back to the crowd. She took the opportunity to rest her head against his shoulder, sighing contentedly aloud. “I’ve needed this. Gods, I’ve needed this. Just a chance to relax for a bit, you know?” She stretched out, flexing her fingertips and cracking her joints, then rubbing warmth into her arms. “I’m a damn mess at the shop lately. Keep forgetting little things. Overworked, I think, and this is the best possible cure.”
She accepted a tankard of - something, anyway - from a passing tray and grinned, lifting it in cheers. “The only time I as a healer can recommend getting properly sloshed without feeling guilty.”

Guest name: Brielle Roux.
Race: Breton.
Gender: Female.
Date: Bart, if he’s willing to go (if not, then she’d end up going with friends).
Outfit: A white/cream colored, short sleeved dress that was gifted to her from her parents. It is patterned with floral designs (red, blue, green, yellow, and pink in color). Hair will likely be braided and, if it gets to be too chilly, she’ll wear a cream colored shawl.
