I have to work in the morning, because mice, while they might celebrate the holidays, still need attention and tending-to.
I'll be back before people open presents, which is nice.
But still means an early night. x3
I hope that, wherever you are, that you're able to find warmth and comfort. If I could, i'd give you all (at least) a hug for the holidays.
a joyous Glowtide to all. 💜
solstice musing
Here we sit at the nadir
at the darkest point, at the Bottom
but if you look above
you can still see the faintest glimmer of light.
even if you can't,
if the distance between the benthos and pelagos is too vast-
take heart.
the dark will not be everlasting
and light shall return-
and we /will/ make it through.
music, woo
I tend to wind up picking a song and kind of repeating it a lot. Comfortable sonic warding.
The current approach seems to be 'submerged in a sunset summer sea', unintentionally. Still. Soft jams.
I'm very okay with this though. 💜

except after the end of three days it's less 'your soul is mine now foreve mwahahaha'
and more 'oh, dear. c'mon. let's go get you some nice tea, some kelp-biscuits, and we can talk it out. It'll be okay.'
anyway in summary: ocean faerie magic is basically me and that's p cool? n..n

'for payment i'm taking away your voice, hopefully without being able to hold conversation you can realize how garbagely superficial this dude you just met and are super-crushing-on is'
'and, like, tbh, how kind of most of those surface dudes suck??'
'for real though. i'mma level with you. you could do so much better, friend. like, i'd *love* to be wrong, but--'
'okay wow you actually still want this OKAY FINE. Don't say i didn't warn you!'

sassy oceanic witch delivering fae-like deals that are ultimately intended to Help People Figure Their Shit Out? holy blap that was my jam before i knew what my jam was

Sometimes, back home, i'd sit in a coral reef, and listen. They're alive, you know: a reef is both the city and its inhabitants, both the shell they build of themselves and the soft frond-children who sit on their boughs.
They speak as one, they dream as one. Slow, ponderous, yet ever-gentle.
It's difficult to *talk* to them, but listening...
their songs and sighs, though hard to follow,
always seem to talk about just how wonderful creation is.
Countless hearts, awash in awe.
Good morning! Here are some chill jams to start your day.
The sun is out, and light still continues, even in these dim days. Draw solace from that.
You’ll do good things today. 💜

This all can wait for other times. Perform is at ** atm, even though I think it's a specialty now
i need at least ***, if not ****
BUT WE'LL GET THERE THROUGH THE POWER OF PLAYING IT A LOT
ellu: practice more
ellu: also rest more
ellu: time is hard
(the toggle for this evening is: rest.)

a bit of playing songdrum
evoking a dreamy reverie
as if from a neptunian monastery
gentle echoing chimes, like the stirring of sunbeams, welcoming you to the day
...i forgot how much i enjoy playing my songdrum. i need to play it mooore
and record stuff.
I also need to figure out where I could host those recordings.
(i mean there's youtube i guess??? 'person in deer mask playing handpan' would make for Weird Content)
I'm only as real as I need to be. Are you hallucinating? //Memetic superweapon, playa-stained transdimensional emissary. Queer alien otter boy. [he/they] (NSFW)
