So in beloved memory of char!Swith, I give thee this.

A lot of things about it remind of char!Swith, and what her story has been. There's all the purple and crazy magical things, of course! Also just the theme of struggling to escape a state of unhappy confusion that is rooted in fantastic circumstances, the looking for inner innocence (with the younger Katy, and with Naomi), and just looking for what makes you true, reasonably happy, and authentic-feeling in an existence that seems to be set against you doing just that.

Maybe I'm just over-analyzing, especially for a Katy Perry video, but I thought it was worth sharing in honor of a character that I thoroughly enjoyed reading about and experiencing. Good job Swithy! :)

All the adults got rather cranky and snappish toward the end at my place, but overall, it was pretty good. Got to meet several second-cousins for the first time, though we didn't talk much.

Merry Christmas!

I love that song but I'd never seen the video. It fits so well. Thank you, Gio!!!

Urran, don't worry. It won't advance. I'm going to do a long post.


People who are returning after Christmas... we alluded to characters being in the cave or on the boat. It's doesn't matter where, so take your pick or say that they survived on their own, etc.

Fucking wonderful, I got sick.
If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event—and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.
- Friedrich Nietzsche -

Sure. If you have links to the images you want, TG them. I can work on it tonight. :lol:

No one dies like Yoshi... but it's been a while. Maybe Pookie can eat him? Primordial can restore him. We could nickname him Pookie Poopie. :lol2:

I remember Bran was eaten by Pookie once, and then he was spat back out. That was at Swith's wedding celebration.

I lubs mah Pookie.

Can I add a bit of dark blue to the flag? I think it was orange and yellow, Ace Combat style. I have an idea in mind but I need to offset it just a little with an additional color (other than red. I need a cool tone.)


I've almost got the News section done. viewtopic.php?p=17198147#p17198147 I'm just recording births, deaths and weddings in addition to general thread news such as the move to the island, the town restructure, etc. We'll record Katya's delivery, when it happens. I still can't find NVE's posts about getting married or the chicks hatching.
