Rumi sucks in a breath, releasing her shoulders to the best of her ability. She spreads her fingers wide in the carpet in front of her, claws extending before she sheepishly pulls them back. Mira and Zoey watch the display with an unreadable expression when Rumi eventually offers:

”So what do you want to know?”

Mira leans up with a lethal grace, her face inches from Rumi as she searches the half-demon’s gaze.

"I want to know how it was so easy for you to lie to us.”

 Shame, it turns out, should not be hand fed. Rumi learns that the hard way when her patterns refuse to fade after the Honmoon is sealed. She thought fulfilling a ritual bigger than herself might finally make her lovable. Maybe even whole. But the aftermath is murkier than she expected.

May Lady Hel and Frigg guide me toward self-care and inspire me to take care of myself and rest when the days are long and weary.

Hail the Queen who inspires me to lead with confidence and guides me in reconnecting with my own power.

Blessed are my loved ones who have passed before me; who watch over me and inspire me to move forward one step at a time.

Hi, welcome to my blog! I'll be using this primarily to catalogue various sources and perspectives on Ecology/Earth Science and how it intersects with the political and economic theory of Marxism-Leninism. This will include but not be limited to, discussions of agriculture, ecology and biology within historical and current socialist projects, and how their systems facilitated the development and application of their scientific principles. Ecology is a young science, and an increasingly vital one. Understanding how it intersects with political and economic science is an important step towards building a safe and sustainable future. This will likely just start as a dump of all the sources that inform my perspective. Hopefully it will be fertile ground for discussion of a vital science in it's embryonic stage.

And if her parents never existed, then Amelia cannot exist. She is a causal impossibility.

"People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces." A photograph. A face carved into an apple. Yes. Sure.

A child.

Now that's too big, surely.

But that's what she is. She is exactly the same as these things. A trace. An echo of something that could never be, never was, never could have been.

And the universe should never allow it. A whole person, that's just too much. She could not have continued to exist indefinitely, in normal circumstances, after her parents never existed.

In normal circumstances.

Because the Doctor didn't just save her from things coming out of the crack in her wall. He saved her from going into it. And he didn't just save her from the threat of going into it simply because of its vicinity.

No, by arriving when he did, he interrupted a process that was probably already in motion. And then by arriving again only moments later on a cosmic relative timestream (too quickly for the process to complete) and yet in the local relative timestream, years later --- years of a potential future caught midway through the process of rewriting -- he solidified that existence. Amy is a creature from another timeline, caught in amber. The Doctor prevented her from never existing, but only after she could already never exist.

And so, no one around Amelia thinks about it. Neither does she. There's some kind of consciousness block, because if you thought about it, really thought about it, for two seconds you'd realize she cannot exist. And the human mind can't deal with that. So, to protect itself, everyone's brain simply slides off it before ever noticing. They just assume that her existence makes sense, and don't question it, and don't notice what they don't question, that is staring them in the face.

But of course, to some extent they do notice. They can't think it, but they notice subconsciously that there's something they can't think. They notice there's something wrong with her, something uncanny. And they don't like it, and they alienate her even more because of it.
