I really like Amazon Green and Ocean Blue, so one or both of those (or similar) depending on what’s in stock would be great… and that rope sounds perfect! I’m trying to calculate prices here ummm $20, $25, what are you thinking?

I kiss all of you at each midnight hour. kiss. kiss. Em and Kat, those are kisses for you <3333

btw Em developing the character based on you has turned half of book 4 into one giant ladies-only sleepover out in the wilderness. I look so forward to writing this asdfghjkl

The Cantilever

chronicpnin:

augustwritesabook:

The Mourans have a pretty cool basic belief system. Six principles, called the Cantilever, are equally weighted and must be considered in the making of all decisions. However, favoring one pillar over the others is not in any way blasphemy; you can dedicate your entire life to one or you can strive to balance the entire Cantilever. (The former group are referred to as canted, the latter group as leveled.)

Myself, I would probably try to be leveled, just because that’s my personality, but I can easily see myself being caught up in riddi. Directly translated, riddi means “we speak in the stars” and is the emphasis on fostering relationships with other races, both for diplomacy and for trade. At its core is this idea that we are not central to the universe, but just one part of a galactic conversation.

I would also likely champion ettus. The direct translation is “love with truth.”  All forms of love are valid, according to ettus, and the challenge is to live out each love in honesty and vulnerability, equal to the others. In other words, treat a one-night stand with the same goddamn respect you’d treat your spouse, but because of the pledge you’ve made to your spouse, you must give them your all in equal love and graciousness. A tough one to live by, to be sure (it’s the most complex, perplexing pillar, and Mourans rarely cant towards it).

I’m enjoying musing on this. Worldbuilding is the shit.

id like for the character based on me to cant towards the hot witch & anime pillar please

I’ll create a hot witch/anime pillar just for you definitely

actually I would imagine she’d cant towards rashak (“we grow what is ours”) which is all about cultivation and invention and reuse
