and so I would like to share with you a Passing Song, a Dying Song - one to be shared and sung when there is nothing else left, but this ancient language of sounds and rhythms. a final lullaby - easing the pain for all those in the room where death will come in a moment. it is a ritual - but it is not tied to any religion as we know it.

Czarna Matko otul mnie Otul moje serce Ukoj je, ukoj mnie Weź mnie w swoje ręce 

Oh, Black Mother hold me close Hold my heart in your hands Comfort me, comfort it Wrap me in your Darkness (tłum. Aissa Zakrzewska)

who is this Black Mother? as the author of this song - Anea, a Polish death doula - explains: [”Who is Black Mother? Mother Earth, Cosmos, Black Madonna, or maybe Nursing Enveloping Darkness? In fact, She is who and what you feel She is.”]

I wholeheartedly recommend listening to this - if you read Polish, visit Anea’s page, too. but most importantly, devote a moment of one of your evenings to think of such songs. think of soothing sounds that would help your loved one pass - or that would help you. a ritual for this inevitable moment.

FSALKJDFKLASJFS “the end thing” LMAO

7- What fictional character are they most like? Was this an intentional or accidental influence?

oof 

well Taako defo inspired me to play a wizard, so that was that, but she is (at least not yet) quite like him in personality 

I can’t really think of anyone?? I mean I heavily project onto her and I fucking Steal Personalities, so there’s probably a good fuckin mix of fictional characters up in her character lmao. 

15- Most despicable thing they have ever done?

For a while she’d lash out at her aunts when they took her in because she wasn’t used to.... love, and thought her dad wasn’t bad. To her, that’s despicable, because she loved her aunts-- still does. They were parents to her, really. So being a dick to them is probably what she views as most despicable.

30-  Would they smooch a ghost?

if she felt attraction towards this ghost? you fucken bet 

5- If they could hang out with one famous person in 18th century American History, who would they want to hang out with?

oof. honestly? Benjamin Franklin. Idk y but i Feel it in my Soul

6- What’s their theme song?

atm?
