@Ferrovore I actually really really liked the dwarves in Dragon Age (Origins) actually? I really wish we'd gotten to see more of them in later games.

Post-Halloween Frankenstein discussion 

@Ratttz This is SUCH a good take. For various reasons I had to read Frankenstein for school no less than three times, and I was always trying to make points like these, only to be met by blank stares pretty much always.

And, I"m back. With antlers. A bit early this year, maybe. And also with... a whole solstice myth, shoved straight into my head, about community, and song, and guiding light out of the darkness. But it's not quite time to tell that one, yet.

Here's what it all comes down to though. I'm here for you all, a cuddly warm winter-enduring critter, sharing glow and light and heat as best I can. And more importantly, we're all here for each other, each one of us helping keep all of us warm in the dark.

Every Monday night I spend an hour at my altar. Dancing, reading, meditating, drumming... Generally trying to work out the right ways to do... what I do.

Tonight, even more than usual, I'm going to be focussing on my community. Whatever I can do to bolster us, in the midst of loss, and grief, and pain. What I can do in this time, and what I can take from this time to do more otherwise too.

You are lovely.
You are glorious.
You deserve good things.

I want to help.

I'll see you all in an hour.

Suicidal Thoughts 

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town You very much do. After all, if they're amazing people, surely you can trust their judgement in sticking by you. 💜​

Suicidal Thoughts 

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town I care about you lots and I'm glad you have folks watching out for you. You have built a good pack and I'm glad to know you and I expect to get to know you better in years to come. 💜​

I had a really good awesome weekend so why is it that my brain hates me today? >.<

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town Oooh congrats!

@KoBunny Oooh yeah I love that one! It tends to make me kinda misty almost every time I hear it. :)

@starkatt And it's sorta been carried through, picking up the current name after we remixed the Downwarp concept in a Neptunian context (So around 2010 maybe?). Annnd here I am, spreading the word about it in brand new places. ^.^

@starkatt *nodnods* And FWIW it didn't start out as just that party and is bigger than that party in my head.

The idea pre-existed our ability to throw an in-person party about it; it actually goes waaaaay back to a roleplay on Puzzlebox in late 2004 which was a huge comfort to me when I had just moved to a tiny apartment in a new city after college.

@Taylor Then adding electroluminescent bits is EASIER! ;)

@chalcedony@octodon.social I am totally in favor of cheesy filks of traditional carols as long as we can convince other folks to sing them too. ^.^

@chalcedony@octodon.social Okay you're freaking me out because literally just now I was thinking "Y'know, we need to get some folks to start coming up with Glowtide carols." XD

OMG I've met so many new folks through here this year, and I get to tell you all about Glowtide. ^.^

✨​✨​✨​

Glowtide is the postfurry-standard winter-solstice celebration! In the Neptunian and Downwarp calendars, is it marked by a period of intercalary days around the darkest point in the year, and traditionally includes a ritual where we gather up a bunch of folks and treats and most importantly ✨​GLOWY✨​STUFF✨ to help encourage the light to start coming back!

(Yes I guess that means my antlers are growing in. How does that even happen on a plushie? Must be a Glowtide miracle. ^.^)

I'm gonna start listening to holiday music today and no one can stop me. Samhain is over, Glowtide starts now. ^.^

@irisjaycomics I would like more information on this venue please. ;)

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town I'm happy to have whatever Ulfra we can, and still wish good feelings and comfort for you.

@starkatt Indeed! There has been more than a little howling at the Eyrie tonight. ;)
