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. 💜​

Even the sun sleeps today:
She rests as mote of silver,
an iridescent smear on a grey-blanket sky.

Below, the earth copies its sister:

Both gently wrapped
in cloud
and rime

In the hopes that
just maybe
they may find each other
in the same dream.

I basically imagine ellu having built a little lean-to at the base of a hydrothermal vent in the winter

possibly hibernating
possibly keeping relations up with various leviathans what lurk down below
possibly just keeping warm

warm is v good, just by the way.

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. 💜​

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

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. 💜

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)

glowtide glow

Anyway. I hope today treats you kindly, okay?

You too deserve happiness. 💜​
