They are so dumpling shaped

Every few days I see Thang Thyang or Thanglet being rotated on my dash and I get really happy. I want to pet them very gently with only one finger

As always you may pet them at your own risk!

Steve opened his eyes and immediately scrambled backwards, breath catching in his chest and eyes wide. The reassuring solidity of the headboard behind him was something, sure, but what he wouldn't give for the reassuring solidity of the goddamn nail bat in his hand.

Eddie - dead Eddie, torn-up Eddie, Eddie who was dripping spectral blood that wasn't sinking into his sheets - watched with an amused curl on his split lips.

"What the fuck, man?" Steve shrilled, and Eddie- somewhat inexplicably - licked his finger and drew an imaginary score mark in the air before he shook his head, flicking his hair back. There was a weird, odd shimmer in the air, and when he faced Steve again he was almost back to his usual self, if not for the slight transparency around the edges of him.

"Asshole move, huh?" Eddie said, low voice carrying a little laugh in it, and Steve nodded dumbly and then shook his head.

"What - what are you doing here?"

Because - okay. These days Eddie appearing in his bed in the middle of the night wasn't exactly a rarity, only Steve usually woke up immediately after. Woke up with a raging hard-on and tears in his eyes, and someday he was pretty sure he was gonna need some kinda therapy to get his sex life back on track.

"You have to help me," Eddie said, flat and serious, and Steve was nodding before he even finished.

"Anything."

It put a weird look on Eddies face for a second. Startled. Shocked, maybe. He shook it off, though, cleared his throat.

"I need you to remind people of what an asshole I am," he said, and Steve blinked at him for a second.

"You need me to - what?"

"I need you to blacken my name! Remind the universe how many times people told me to go to hell, dammit!"

Eddie pushed both his hands into his hair, flopping back onto Steve's mattress and not even making a dent.

"Apparently," he said, "saving a kid with your final moments gets you a one way ticket into the place upstairs." Eddie made a face at whatever was on Steve's face - confusion, maybe a little awe. "Steve," he said flatly. "Do you have any idea how much the music sucks up there?"

I have two husbands, and that causes me much trouble and torment of the soul, for I may be with childe by one, and have thus given horns to th'other, who is also a lady, and we have been married first. Now she won't writ to me as we did as girles, and my lawfull husband, I have not yett told, for my condition is not certain yet. I cannot talk in honesty whith one, and with the other husband, neither.

'Tis awkward to speak of this, but if not to your friends online, to whom can one talk of such troubles?

There are thyngs the governement, the Kinge in particular, do not wish you to know about: the Royall Successioun is all made false, for instead of the D. of Yorke, the True Heir to H. M. the Kinge shoud be the Duke of Monmouth, for he was lawfully begot by the Kinge, then married in secret to the late Lucy Walter, and must therefore be accepted as Prince before his uncle the D. of Yorke, who is a Catholick.

All ye good people should speak up against this injustice! If you cannot pledge your life (if there be a fight), or some shillings to the cause, you may help it greatly alreadie by re-bloggying, and bringing this mater to greater awareness!

Why cannot a man haue normall nepheues. One, @je-maintiendrai, is nigh a Puritan in his Protestant fervour, and th'other dispreads falsehoods about the monarcky (and the Roman Church).

I reported the other one, @dukeofm for his libel, in hopes he shall be deactivated, alas th'other I can but block, and not banished from this place. I also hope my daughter the Princess shall divorce him speedilye.

Tonight, I hope to forgett all about this vexing bussinesse by thinking on going a-stag hunting tomorrow with H. M. my brothere, the King.

The most obvious means by which a queen might exercise influence at court was through her close contact with the king in much the same way as other nobles did, although the nature of such influence is impossible to judge because it does not leave records behind. That women would advise their husbands, even kings, was accepted and expected: Christine de Pizan maintained that the wise princess would urge her husband to discuss matters with his councillors, and encourage others to advise him. Jacobus de Cessolis, recognizing that queens would thereby be privy to important matters of state, advised that a queen's 'wysedom ought tappere in spekynge that is to wete that she be secrete and telle not such thynges as ought to be holden secrete'. Queens were of course not exempt from the traditional misogynistic fear of the power of women's words to lure men, as Eve had done, into sin and folly. The fourteenth-century author of The III Consideracions Right Necesserye to the Good Governaunce of a Prince warned

And how be it that a kinge or Prince shulde love his lady and wyf in maner as him self, yit it is nat expedient that he uttyr unto hir, and discloosc the sccrccs, grcctc conscillcs and greet thingcs that he hath doon for his estate and for his landc, nc that in such thing he be governed aftir hir at som tymc, but he shulde allc daycs reserve unto him self the lordship and souvereyntee, or ellys many perilles may betide.

But to be governed was not the same as to be advised and there was also a strong tradition and rich literature of women wisely advising their husbands at all levels of society. This included encouraging a husband to make peace with his subjects or to be more generous to the poor or the Church as well as the familiar motif of intercession in response to a particular plea.

I relish the etymology of our word thing - that sturdy term of designation, that robust everyday indicator of the empirical - whereby in Old English thynge does not only designate a material object, but can also denote 'a narrative not fully known', or indicate 'the unknowability of larger chains of events'.

And in this he showed me a little thing, the quantity of a hazel nut, lying in the palm of my hand, as it seemed. And it was as round as any ball. I looked upon it with the eye of my understanding, and thought, ‘What may this be?’ And it was answered generally thus, ‘It is all that is made.’ I marveled how it might last, for I thought it might suddenly have fallen to nothing for littleness. And I was answered in my understanding: It lasts and ever shall, for God loves it. And so have all things their beginning by the love of God. In this little thing I saw three properties. The first is that God made it. The second that God loves it. And the third, that God keeps it. And in þis he shewed me a lytil thyng þe quantite of a hasyl nott. lyeng in þe pawme of my hand as it had semed. and it was as rownde as eny ball. I loked þer upon wt þe eye of my vnderstondyng. and I þought what may þis be. and it was answered generally thus. It is all þat is made. I merueled howe it myght laste. for me þought it myght sodenly haue fall to nought for lytyllhed. & I was answered in my vnderstondyng. It lastyth & euer shall for god louyth it. and so hath all thyng his begynning by þe loue of god. In this lytyll thyng I sawe thre propertees.

The Four Estates

Source

The Four Estates (Li Kadri Virvi) are the four fundamental divisions of human type in the traditional Aristasian world. It is an idea that the individualistic West in Telluria can find hard to grasp — and even the individualistic West in Aristasia has modified it very radically in practice, while never entirely losing the theory.

In the beginning, there was only one Estate (the Hayana); for maid, being closer to her Primordial wholeness, contained all the elemental possibilities in a single being.

The four Estates mirror the structure of the universe in the microcosm of the social order. Even the division of the single Primordial Estate into four parts mirrors the process of manifestation, in which the four elements proceed out of the single Aethyr. Thus it is natural that the four Estates correspond with the elements. They are as follows:

Haiela (approx. pron: "high-ELLa") : the priestly and intellectual Estate. Correspondences: Air, Winter, North

Raihira (approx. pron "rye-HEERa") : the noble and ruling (also Vikhelic?) Estate. Correspondences: Fire, Summer, South

Magdala (approx. pron "MY-dla") : the makers: craftmaids, farmers and merchants. Correspondences: Earth, Autumn, West

Paccia (approx. pron: "PAKsia") : the bonded Estate. Correspondences: Water, Spring, East

Just as there is a fifth element (Aethyr), which is not an element in the usual sense, and a fifth season (Moura) which is not a season in the usual sense and a fifth direction (the Centre) which is not a direction in the usual sense; so there is a fifth Estate which is not an Estate in the usual sense. This is the Stravë (sometimes honorifically termed Hayana) "Estate" into which no maid can be born. It consists of those who have renounced the world in search of the Ultimate Treasure of the Spirit. Being no longer of the world, they are no longer children of the world's Estates.

The four Estates represent the four fundamental types of maid, just as the four elements represent the four fundamental types of Matter. But as the early-Westrenne saying has it, "in mold is no thyng unmelded". In the material world all things are mixed; and just as Primordial Maid contained all the Estates within herself, so in later days, each Estate in its fullness must contain something of the qualities of all the others. The spiritual maid is also, in her spiritual sphere, a maker (magdalin) and a server (paxit). She may also be a leader, but even if she is not, she must be a warrior (raihirin) against the forces of darkness and against her own lower self. Likewise the Raihirin, to be complete, must be cultivated, intelligent and also spiritual (haiela), she must be mistress of the arts or crafts (magdalin) of statesmaidship or of war, and she must be obedient and bonded (paxit) to her commanders. The head of the Raihira Estate, the Queen or Empress must be paxit to the spiritual authorities, and the Antistita or High-Priestess must, more than any other maid, be wholly paxit to Dea.

It will be noted that the two higher Estates are on the Vertical or Solstitial axis, while the two lower estates are on the horizontal, or Equinoctial Axis. This at once indicates the relationship and the distance between them. There is also a special relationship between the Haiela and the Paccia — the two Estates that look upward — and between the Raihira and the Magdala — the two Estates that look outward.

Thus we begin to see that the four Estates, exist in an elaborate and subtle balance, as is in keeping with their original emergence from the Primordial Oneness of maid.

We may also see the parallel between Aristasia and Telluria. The four Aristasian Estates bear many resemblances to the castes of India and to the Clerics, Nobles, Burgers and Serfs of the Western Middle Ages as well as the similar fourfold division of society in ancient China and the Far East generally. There are also many differences, and these are largely owing to the fact that the Tellurian Iron Age is dominated by the unbalanced Vikhelic principle of opposition and discord, while the Aristasian Iron Age, while still tending toward individualism and the expression of lower possibilities, remains governed by the principle of harmony and coöperation.

So, for example, in the Iron Age (Kali Yuga) in India the three higher castes are called dvija, twice-born because they are initiated or born again, while the lower caste or Sudras are excluded from initiation. In Aristasia the Paccia also are not initiated individually, but each paxit participates in the initiated state of her mistress. Rather than the concept of each soul fending for itself, we have the concept of the lowest Estate being under a special protection and benefitting from a special spiritual help.

The modern Western Tellurian will immediately want to ask "Is it possible for a person to transfer from one Estate to another". This is her first question, because her whole individualistic training focuses on the idea of movement, and of being unbound by the past and by one's heredity. The answer is "yes". But it is rare, for in a traditional society the hereditary principle actually works, and souls are generally incarnated into the families most suited to their needs and nature. In the later ages, this principle becomes gradually less effective.

In modern Western Telluria, the natural Estates are in a state of chaos, and it is this chaos that explains much of the modern history of Telluria. We may look back to Henry VIII to see, in many respects, the point at which this chaos began to be made manifest. That king began the full-scale revolt of the "Raihira" against the "Haiela" by declaring himself head of the Church in England and rejecting the "Haiela" authority of the Pope. The following attack on the "Haiela" in the form of the destruction of the Church's monastic organisation is well known. What is less well known is that the Magdala, the third of the twice-born Estates, had their own craft-initiations (the term "the Mysteries" of a craft meant very much more than mere "trade secrets"), which were governed by the guilds. Henry VIII also destroyed the guild system, thus not only eliminating the organisation of the "Haiela" but de-sacralising, and laying the groundwork for the deracination of, the "Magdala". That this caused terrible hardship is also little known. At once the pension funds and "social insurance" of the guilds were confiscated and the "social welfare" structure represented by the monasteries was dismantled. All the money went into the hands of the King's "Raihira" henchmen while both the middle class and the poor were deprived of all security. Thus the revolt of the "Raihira" against the "Haiela" involved an attack by the "Raihira" on all the other Estates.

It is no coincidence that with this disruption of the social thamë, the revolt of the "Raihira" against the "Haiela" was followed, at the beginning of the next century, with a revolt of the "Magdala" against the "Raihira", culminating in the execution of Charles I. The struggle between the "Raihira" and the "Magdala" continued for some time, and by the end of the 18th Century came the first pseudo-revolt of the "Paccia" against both Raihira and Haiela in the French Revolution. We say "pseudo" revolt partly because the proletariat is only a very pale shadow of a true Paccia and secondly because the lowest Estate by its very nature can never govern. So even when the principle of mass- or proletarian-rule becomes dominant, as in "Communist" and "Democratic" states, this is never more than a verbal reality, with the real levers of power being operated by various factions of the degenerate "high-Magdala".

We have spoken at length about this, because is is quite impossible to understand modern Tellurian history without understanding this Confusion of Estates.

In Aristasia Pura, which is governed by the principle of concord rather than discord, no such revolt against the higher Estates ever took place, just as the essentially degenerate-Magdala doctrines of "rationalism" which led to the 17th-century "Enlightenment" are unknown in Aristasia. Nevertheless, "modernism" in Western Aristasia has involved a considerable weakening of the Estate-structure. In many parts of the West most servants are no longer bonded and so do not constitute a real Paccia. The Raihira and the Haiela become largely intermixed as an upper and upper-middle class which also absorbs some of the high-Magdala, while the lower Magdala and upper Paccia tend to form a "lower middle class".

In what way, then, is Westrenne Aristasia different from Western Telluria? The differences are subtle, but nonetheless radical. They spring from the fact that there has never been any "ideological" justification for the Confusion of the Estates. It is a thing that Westrennes acknowledge to have happened, and on the whole regard as regrettable, at least in principle, while also realising that it makes possible their current Westrenne way of life. Ideas like Democracy and Socialism (invoked by the Tellurian "high-Magdala" in order to use the "Paccia" as a smokescreen for its economically-based political and social control, which it cannot otherwise justify) have never had any currency. Government by the Raihira, headed by hereditary Queens and guided by spiritual authority still prevails. Because government is relatively minimal, and questions of control and power are less important to a feminine people, the raw "tests of power" between the Estates that inevitably led to chaos in Telluria have simply never happened, and the West remains a curious mixture of traditional and modern ideas and actualities. Because of this, it has trodden paths in many ways similar to those of the Tellurian West, while never losing its roots in tradition, or making the radical breaks with Fundamental Order (thamë) that a Vikhelic society found itself more or less forced into making.

The idea of the Estates continues to underlie much of Westrenne thinking: and even though the actuality has slipped into something that is superficially rather more like the pre-Eclipse Tellurian class system, one confuses it with that class system at one's peril. Only one who was born in Aristasia can truly appreciate the nuances of its social system, but as Tellurian subjects of the Empire, we grow continually into a system that is very different from anything that exists in Telluria, and, for all its imperfections, is much more beautiful.
