We are a quoigenic gateway plural collective of around 400 (as of April 2026). We sign our posts unless we don't, in which case you should assume it's either Artemis or just the Collective in general.
We are not a roleplay blog.
Other stuff about us and plurality behind the cut.
What is Plurality?
Plurality is, simply put, any state of being more-than-one in some way. For us, that means that we have many fully-formed (and some not) people living within one body, and we often switch who is controlling the body at any given time. Don't worry, we're all nice.
These people are not other selves of one person nor are they parts of one person. Plurality can manifest this way, but it is not how it works for us. We are all real people with different interests, ways of communicating, personalities with depths and different sides, and the ability to grow.
More about plurality
What is Quoigenic?
Quoigenic is an origin label for plurality. There are many origin labels, but quoigenic has several meanings: it can mean we don't know or don't care about our origin, we don't want other people to know, or in our case, we reject the idea that origin is the most important question you could be asking. For us, origin is much less important than how we work together and exist as a system in this moment; we reject the idea that this has to be a defining feature of a system at all. (Yes, it's hard to understand if you're not part of the community, because the term itself was spawned in the context of a lot of community discourse.)
Gateway Collective?
We identify primarily as a collective and are trying to filter out the term system; we used to identify as a system, but we no longer feel like that word is the best way to describe us. Therefore we are the Starfall Haven or Starfall Collective.
Our inner world is connected to a planet we call Divisus, which has its own cultures, civilizations, and history. A few of us are from that planet, but most of us come from elsewhere. Although we might occasionally talk about it, we tend to keep details of our inner world off tumblr.
Stuff we Do
We do:
Art! '#lc arts' is our art tag, and we have a more complete gallery over on deviantart.
Religious stuff! We have an eclectic mix of religious beliefs in-system, but our host and many of us are polytheists. Artemis runs Per Inpw, a twitch channel where they broadcast Kemetic rituals and education. There is also an associated discord.
Writing! We have an ao3, and a writing blog for shorter, less finished stuff.
Tarot and lenormand! We do tarot and lenormand readings for pretty cheap, and sometimes do free card pulls on tumblr.
Art commissions! Check em out here.
We play FFXIV on the Seraph server, Dynamis DC and we also play Genshin and HSR. If you want to play either of those with us, hit us up!
SCA stuff: we participate in Society for Creative Anachronism events and meetings. We have an early 13th century Gaulish persona and are working on archery, illumination, and heraldry. May also get into period cooking when we get the chance. We are in the kingdom of Calontir.

The real trouble is whether or not I'm going to try to clean out my palette when I get the new nice paints (it would be such a pain I already cleaned it out once when I started doing watercolor again and most of the wells still have plenty of paint in them) or do I just keep practicing with my shitty paints until I use them up???
I want to keep the cadmium red on there and probably the alzarin crimson because 1. Putting toxic chemicals down the sink is bad and 2. They're still decent but I really would like to at least clean out the yellow and blue wells to start fresh
Notable that I probably also have most of those split primary colors in my stuart semple watercolor palette, but the thing about that palette is that I really don't like that it doesn't have a lot of flat mixing space and the paints came in pre-dried pans which is like, fine, but I think we in general like the tubes better and think tubes are more economical for what you get. We have used our Semple palette when we desperately needed a color we couldn't mix or a more pigmented color, usually mixed with our reeves paint, but in the long run I think getting artist quality mixing paints will help us utilize all our paints better.
Oh so re: spending money, here's the saga of what happened yesterday.
Thursday morning I made a somewhat impulsive purchase of two 15ml Daniel Smith watercolors, one in quinacridone rose and one in the coral reef shade (because it might have some use for skintones, which we struggle with mixing) and some playing card size watercolor paper which we thought might be fun to paint and send to friends.
Throughout yesterday I went on a deep dive instead of concentrating at work because our work sucks and found out about color temperature and the fact that pairing warm and cool versions of the primary colors will get you more vibrant or muted results depending on what you use. I'm gonna be honest we had never thought about something like yellow having a color temperature even though we can usually tell warm and cool secondary colors apart really well. I downloaded an app that lets you add your paints to a digital palette and shows them on a color wheel, plus gives a bunch of other info about them. Neat!
I get home and I dump out my paints and I try to match them with what I currently have in our palette. We were using mostly reeves from probably...middle school? From one of those cheap sets because a bunch of the cotman and van Gogh we bought for our one college art class had dried up. (We may try to cut those tubes open and get the rest of the paint into pans though). No reeves paints are in that database. What gives?
So we look it up and apparently Reeves tubes are bottom of the barrel student grade paints for kids, which like, yeah, we should have guessed, and now I'm like oh shit have we been learning with inferior watercolor? And also I'm thinking "oh so THAT'S why we can't get a decent fucking load of pigment to save our lives" and don't get me wrong painting on 100% cotton has been a game changer re: quality, but it is still wildly difficult to get a super saturated color unless we use just enough water to get the paint to get on the brush which isn't ideal. The exceptions of course were the cotman paints, especially the cadmium red and alzarin crimson.
What I should have done was bought 8ml tubes of cotmans in a split-primary palette. What I did was buy a split primary set of Daniel Smith watercolors in 5ml tubes because I hate myself and think money grows on trees (one of the paints included in this set is quinacridone rose!!!! Which I already bought 15ml of!!!!!) and burnt sienna which it turns out I was missing and some ivory black. My lovely followers, this was $90 worth of paint because I am a foolish little gremlin with adult money and a non-rent paycheck. I've been very good this week and probably saved $90 on delivery since I was good and brought my lunch and breakfast every day except today.
But folks. $6-8 a tube for 5 ml of paint. This shit better blind me with pigment load.
A free-range group therapy called "get herded, idiot", where you and everyone in your group is set loose to run around on an open field while a highly trained shepherd dog tries to keep you all in one group. I am not sure what benefit this would have for anyone involved.
Chat, is it considered “abusive roommate behavior” to release a raccoon into the living space after you have asked your roommate for months to please clean up their messes (they do not pay any of the mortgage)
For context, when I used to live alone I would do something called “Princess Time” where I would do an initial sweep (to remove any significant hazards) and then I would release a raccoon into the living area and clean. This helped because I would 1) feel like a princess and 2) the raccoon would bring attention to things my ADHD brain had decided to ignore and I’d quickly clean that stuff up.
So like, if I’m expected to clean the house now, I will be doing it in the way that is most effective for me. And anything that has not been cleaned up after months of having sit-down talks and sending reminders and being promised things will change, might be deemed “trash” by the trash panda and thrown away.
We haven’t done since we moved into the house, because I didn’t want to cause my roommate or their cats destress or have their things destroyed by a raccoon
I am a raccoon biologist and one of the few people in the state allowed to take in captive bred raccoons that had been possessed illegally. The raccoon in the photos is Moonshine, but she is currently at the animal sanctuary where I work as I had been quarantining multiple new intakes from an abuse case. I still have two males (Rum Tum Tugger and Electra) left in my home enclosure as we are getting them neutered and then hopefully sending them to an AZA accredited zoo.
I wanna make things very clear that underneath all the whimsy, I am a trained professional.

probably the worst attitude tumblr unintentionally cultivates is "the world out there is completely dangerous for you and no one can possibly understand you, so you should isolate yourself from it and avoid interacting with it as much as possible"

white european communists are obsessed with talking about wanting to nuke the entire landmass currently known as the united states because they feel an ancestral call towards killing Indigenous people
