there's something here

A normal-versus-normal matchup is what politics used to be — persuasion, messaging, negotiation, compromise. Behaving this way will lose against someone donning body armor while calling you an antifa domestic terrorist MS-13 gang member. And the guy in the body armor will always lose to the guy in the inflatable frog suit.

astera has lots of sisters - all aspect representing constructs like her. astera is an eldritch knight and tome is her aspect and the only other sister she has met so far was amphrodite the aspect of love. they had a fight teehee

they both collect modrons so astera got two of amphrodite’s as spoils

astera - clockwork design on skin that’s a little too pale to be skin…a dark dress with roman numeral lining in gold, green hair, red mary jane’s, witch’s hat and clocks for eyes. she is a construct. a warforged caster.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

sighs big i just. i made the cutest character in the whole world. @theeliriots.bsky.social does such a great job bringing her weirdo energy to life so consistently.

Wisp found out recently she has an unknown number of half siblings, by virtue of her mom being poly and probably also immortal
