Invocation of Capricorn
The stars turn, and the sun and moon rise and fall. The snow melts and Wet becomes Dry as Season of Earth arrives.
Spirit of Capricorn, green field, I invite you to make your mark upon me, to stake your claim, sow your seeds, and help me plan my future harvest.
Xalki, principal, thank you for your leadership. Your direction and guidance helps me keep to the path I've set for myself. May I be as devoted to helping others reach their full potential.
The Work Continues.

@kelseyhusky *pettin's* You're a good pupper and you're trying really hard at an unfamiliar task in a stressful situation. It's okay for you to say you're stressed out and upset.

@kelseyhusky Mmf. That's a painful and frustrating spot in which to be.
@indi I prefer it slightly flat when I drink it warm; otherwise the carbonation tends to be a bit much and it tastes unpleasantly acidic to me.
That said, I've been telling people warm soda is good for years but most people think I'm a mutant. *grin*

If we can't wake up from the American Dream, we'll continue to descend into this dystopian nightmare.
@Fuego The article I saw said he/him. And yes. =n.n=
@starkatt That's fair. I was also at about a {9} when I had the thought. Being a people while processing heavy thoughts is hard sometimes.
The F word. No, the other one.
@jakebe @Azure I think it's disingenuous to paint vigilance against fascism as a "bogeyman" given current events. That said, I think it's equally if not more wrong to label _people_ instead of _behavior_ as problems, because doing so shuts down most paths of transformation and recovery. As such, I really hope we don't see said rash of Secret Menace movies; that would be grossly oversimplifying a necessarily complicated narrative.
@makyo Being surrounded by cuties is the worst. >:(
@starkatt "Fake" implies deception. Narratives are constructed, but that doesn't make them fake. Some may adhere closer to one or more sets of facts, but neither accuracy nor precision are necessarily measurements of narrative value.
@Rosemary @emanate Considered both. Not quite sure what the right approach is yet. There's a sense that "creating a forum" is yet more screaming into the void, since it's out of the flow of other people. (( I may not be able to ask others to engage, but I can do myself the favor of not isolating myself. )) I did consider making Masto accounts, but I already juggle four of them. More might make things rather hard to sustain. And one with different faces forces people into an all-or-nothing mode.
@emanate I'm not going to put a limit on how others want to interact with those thoughts, or even assume others would choose to do so at all. It's more that I have this ongoing sense that I have thoughts that are going to _spill_ if I don't put them somewhere, but right now I don't feel like I have anywhere to put them.
@emanate I have no end of stray thought suited to Jules or Taneh or Valentin or any number of headmates, but no real place to _put_ those thoughts at present because they're not big enough to encompass in a story and the standard model of in-character interactions assumes that I'm able to stay focused on those thoughts and devote constant blocks of time to manage. I'm looking for something more like a forum with an expectation of continuity but high potential latency.
@emanate Not exactly.
I do a ton of creative work. I only externalize a small fraction of it because storycraft is hard. Embodying characters -- other selves -- is easy, but finding spaces outside of MUCKs to do that is difficult, and MUCKs have an expectation of synchronicity that I can't meet at my day job. I'd make character-based Masto accounts, but there's always the risk of the orthocosm demanding it be analyzed through one or more character lenses, and sometimes I don't want to do that.
