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. 💜​

sea witch takes (the disney little mermaid film) 

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

maybe about 20% more seelie for me, personally but, like,
damb HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT THAT SONG

Microfiction 

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. 💜

I hope that,
Wherever you are in the world,
That life just...treats you kindly today.

You deserve warmth and kindness. 💜

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)

glowtide glow 

is glowtide tree, festooned and adorned with love! The orb flashes all the Useful colors. @_@

happ! glowtide! *tosses kelp-based confetti into air*

Anyway. I hope today treats you kindly, okay?

You too deserve happiness. 💜​

weird nostalgia 

🎶​for a really long time
eleven giants walked around
they thought up funny things
until their thinking came alive

and that's what this game is
you're inside their thoughts
go and make them bigger
and we'll play a long while

AND WE CALL THE GIANTS BY THEIR NAMES:

there's Humbaba and Friendly,
Alph, Tii, Zille and Lem
Grendaline and Spriggan,
Cosma, Pot, and Mab!

and that's what this game is
you're inside their thoughts
go and make them bigger
and we can play a long while. 🎶​

weird nostalgia 

Today I learned:

the group behind Slack actually used to be a (failed) video game company, that made this utterly charming browser-MMO-thing called Glitch.

It's a shame that game closed down. It was just so relentlessly *nice* towards people.

music inspiring Wonder 

going in the short-duration-personal-savior folder,

Bjork dropped a new album, Utopia, a week ago and it's all Very Good

desperately needed today, yis.

(especially note: 'Body Memory': [youtube.com/watch?v=bXPDeUN03Q] and 'Future Forever' [youtube.com/watch?v=0vKNa5ZLgr] )

Pyre (video game), early spoilers 

I got Pyre a few days back! I just recently finished the first...cycle? of it, into the second. Lush and charming and engaging and aaahhh.

(the only downside is my computer seems to crash often with it, but, engaging tech support for that.)

I expected good things out of this game, given Supergiant's lineage, and i'm still impressed. @_@ (I can see why you dug it, @starkatt​ !)

I start a job tomorrow!

...aaaaaaaaaaaa i start a job tomorrow.

this is good but also making me be rather lazy today. I think that's allowed. Warm and sturdy and glowing.

NOW TO STUFF ENOUGH KELP IN MY GILLS THAT THE WALLS UNFURL

*distant, low bellowing, as if a great bloop, far underwater*

Thank you all for being. Thank you for being here, for existing, for sharing existence with me.

thank you. 💜​
