Helllo, Steph.
It's the disturbing anon again. The replies to that post, (the hugs one and then the older anon who gave me hope)
I just wanted to tell both of them and you, that what you did for me, helped.
I feel much better today. Although, I'm a slight bit terrified. But I will get through another day.
And I hope I can afford therapy soon.
Thank you so much Steph. Your advice meant so much to me

Hey Nonny *HUGS*
I’m so happy you reached out and let us know how you’re doing. I truly hope you can too <3 There are online options, and helplines you can call for “quick help” so I do encourage you to research that option in the interim until All This™ is done and overwith.
I know it’s a terribly scary time, and again I reiterate: YOU’RE NOT ALONE. The uncertainty of it all just makes all of us with anxiety and neuroses just not comfortable having that feeling of being trapped, and being annoyed at the general population for acting like this all isn’t happening. IT’S OKAY. We’re all here for you, and while I’m not a professional, I try my best to offer comfort where I can; I’m glad that I helped just a little.
*SNUGGLE BUGGLE HUGGLE* Keep being you, Lovely. It’s not easy to get over the mental health struggles, I know, but the good days you will have make it worth the battle, I promise.
Love you Nonny. We all do! <3
Hi hi, anon about the job here, mind betrayed as you said! I stayed at the place, and I'd just like to say thank you, your words really did help. I tried confiding in a friend but she pushed it off and said things like "well you'd better go" or "suck it up" so your response really got me 😭 thanks again, seriously!
Hi Work Anon!
I’m really happy to hear that, it picked my mood up a bit even. I’m glad you stuck with it and that things are getting better ♥
I hope things continue to go up for you!
With lots of love and support,
Yaya~!
Actually, the female variations for Merlin are the following:
Merlyn
Marlyn
Marlin
Marlene
There are more, but these are the ones I found.
Not surprising, but also: I was just joking about a typo I made :p Another good version I thought of later last night:
Merlene(just to make the Jolene connections extra-explicit owo)
Okay, gotta ask - where can we read more about Cahokia?
XD That's a BIG subject obvsl, and there's allot of research and scholarship on it out there, not all of which will agree with the take I presented. I particularly enjoyed Graeber and Wengrow's handling of it in The Dawn of Everything(pp. 330, 399, 452, 464-9, 475, 482, 503), which is probably the most direct inspiration for that particular reblog-reply(tho: their handling of it is part of larger arguments, so it'd probably be better if you, at least, read from Chapter 9 to the conclusion to see HOW they're using it and why).
Another discussion of Cahokia I love, though it only touches on the issues I mentioned in that reply sort of tangentially(ie: by discussing all the human sacrifice they were doing), is Ancient Faith and the Fall of Cahokia, a lecture the anthropologist Tim Pauketat gave as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival in 2017...
...Or at least I THINK that's the lecture I liked; it's the most likely one in my youtube History, but I haven't watched it recently so idk if it is THE one(the one I'm remembering was a discussion of how the religion practiced at Cahokia was embedded both in the landscape and in a sort of "conversation" with cosmic forces? And how the sacrifices related to that "conversation"?? So if that lecture is about that then it IS the one I remember). The channel Ancient Americas also has a good summary of the research on Cahokia circa 2022, though the channel-runner's not an academic so he just sticks to the consensus positions.

Goddamn, Bullshit Musk Rent is REALLY doing numbers O_O
hi! muse of void anon again - i hope these asks aren't bothersome, but i think i've thought up a cool approach and wanted to share! i was thinking about both the dreams and subconscious/unconscious examples you provided and imagined a muse of void whose presence perpetuates not reality exactly, but UNreality - which is to say Reality and the concept of what is Real and Existent becomes more malleable around them, and their and others' subconscious thoughts, beliefs, memories and perceptions have more of a shaping influence on the world, almost like how things might work in a dream bubble. (though in a way that kind of IS perpetuating reality, as in inspiring others to define what reality is?) i think it ties nicely into the "Potential" part of void as well, sort of an "anything can happen if you're willing to make it happen" deal, which also relates to the idea of Magic! it's a pretty hope-y and/or rage-y vibe too, but as you said, there's a lot of overlap and connections between aspects. i really hope this makes a decent amount of sense for the title, and that it's interesting enough to be worth sending! u-u
That's a GR8 Idea Anon! I think that's a Really Cool take on the Role, and I'm happy you shared it with me, and I hope you have fun further developing it ^v^ ^v^ ^v^
Kinda riffing on that, it makes me think of a sort of "Sleeping Beauty" version of the same idea, where the Muse of Void gets put into a coma somehow or something and then their dreams start manifesting irl, which drives the action of the plot somehow(or maybe: their dreams start invading the dreams of the other players, which drives the action of the plot)
Re: goncharov in empire magazine, it is real! The February 2023 issue, on page 24, I was able to see it with my libby app. screenshots of the page both with and without the app overlay to provide proof :)
