mushroom musume ~ aaaaaaaaaa !!!

so , mushroom village . actually not visit mushroom village in little while , ever since fufu refuse witch's request to wipe out - attend moreso to abandoned dungeon and beanstalk , since run through most of basic dialogue in mushroom village .
but today something very different happen . witch make intent clear to control this village as personal domain , and that any mushroom who still live here put self in grave danger .

this particular daughter ( guess what , another deathcap ) basically roll eyes and walk on through village anyway , and come upon grave district . here attend morbid mushy meeting , and try to rally everyone up . some girls seem apprehensive about idea of kill witch , but one verdigris agaric say already kill witch once before .

verdigris agaric ! dearest besse , witch-slayer besse ! love how get references to previous daughters , so very much love .

thoughts on edible effigies

as think about with post from [personal profile] lb_lee  , and by extension one from [personal profile] hungryghosts  …

cultural differences fun . now will be clear that not sure if this come from one of human cultures kossai grow up around , if faerie thing from within court , or maybe sprinkle of both , but : can not imagine actually eat effigies of people that hate .



anyway . none of this is to say what is right or wrong , just get such visceral reaction to this idea and realise never put these thoughts in words before , and so this might be interest to talk about !

Eating the Rich

Mori: we have a rule here: when something terrible happens, we must resist the urge to go numb and paralyzed, and instead reinforce our bonds to others and do SOMETHING to build morale and fight back, if only in our own minds.

So when that Big Buttfucking Bill passed and I found out early because Social Security sent me an ass-licking email lying about how Trump was personally benefitting ME, I was pissed, and I ranted to my roommates: “I AM GOING TO EAT THIS MAN IN EFFIGY.”

And they said, “sounds good, can we join?”

WHY YES YOU CAN. )

mushroom musume ~ story beats - kapii , mevina , & wanami

also , very excite , start to get deeper into long story of mushroom musume . of course , short cycle story is clear enough - recluse want for daughter , witch offer up , again and again and again . but there is reason to this cycle , deep secrets to this world . just become matter of how to unlock .

kapii - weeping maroon deathcap - help jo to restore cafe up in clouds , and now work there happily with jaq . like kuna , not many chances to actually act on cruel or visceral nature , even though try hard . want to act tougher than really able to sustain .

mevina , deathly devilish bleeding tooth , climb past jo's cafe on beanstalk to reach moon for first time . can not do anything here yet , but learn of violet-eye lady , and strange palace . ( finally recognise that picture which show off behind-scenes creation for ! yay ! ) other than that , mevina take caelia to gala , because why not .

wanami , weeping red deathcap ... yes , that is 3 deathcaps now , this garden setup is extremely good at deathcaps . will have to tweak this , because also really laggy . anyway , wanami have plenty of chances to act on visceral urges , and end up with 3 desiccation traits on top of each other ! that was huge mycelium and dampness loss with every round , but fortunately garden provide lots of dampness , and recluse provide lots of mycelium , so actually survive whole game . mostly . wanami try to pick eye flower , pick fight instead , then fail to flee and fall down chasm . with only 18 mycelium left , just no way to get back out .

but before all that ...


this game is so good . need to know more immediately and consume into fibre of soul .
well , maybe not quite that dramatic , but pretty dramatic . :P

poetry ?

quite some time ago , kossai build tree out of trash - shitty gift paper , boxes , random scraps of trash , secrets that never want for anyone to see , all tape up and pin in place to shape tree . idea was would some day paper over , but just never manage to get around to that . so that tree stay as very visibly plastic wreck , while constantly threaten to fall apart just out of neglect and cover in layers of dust . sad , did not want to give up , but still never get around . not like need for materials - save up glue and so many papers for this ! but just never did , for some reason .

... until now , anyway . finally have enough of dance around work , especially with knowledge that lover legion work on plans to visit ( !!! ) , and yesterday commit to start process , paper whole thing over roughly . every few hours since then , kossai look around and touch up rough spots .
and realise that most of paper which use for this come from hospitalisations , both influenza this year and surgery last year . medication prescriptions , side effect pamphlets , discharge papers , wound care papers .

do feel some sort of strange poetry in that , but hard to put in words .

on silly topic ...

in think about mushroom musume , and various daughters that player can find : kossai not only have mushroom faeries here , but also happen to have ... potato faerie .
mushroom musume in real life is right here ~ ( joke )

actually kind of silly sometimes that character writing is very sapphic , when eira very much gay man and that tend to dominate front expression . really appreciate attention to detail , just not evoke affections in same way , hehe . so lovely how some daughters immortalise through world , though - nemuri's cavern , meloi mccoolname , how jaq and kapii work together at jo's cafe ...

... hmm , nemuri specifically lose humanity . wonder if nemuri's cavern would be not just name anymore , but literally where nemuri eventually live out life .

really want to buy house in mushroom village at some point , just need to figure out how to reliably get money . even pickpocket kuna only end up with 5 out of 10 necessary coins . ( yeah , cheap digs ! still not cheap enough . )

suppression and journeys

crosspost from tumblr .
kossai grow up with paganism - sort of eclectic mix of things . learn about faeries and changelings , past lives , magic , and overall delve into culture and ideas that christians try to kill . still , that did not mean faeriehood come with one nice and easy path to follow .

under cut for length . not just about physical nonhumanity , but expect experiences will be particularly familiar there .

FREE show of "Baddy!" Be here, be queer!

Hello, friends! Has the current political climate got you down? Then come celebrate Pride with LB with a FREE showing of the Japanese musical theater show, Baddy: The Bad Lot Come From The Moon!

When: 6 PM Saturday, July 5th
Where: NESFA clubhouse, 504 Medford Street, Somerville, MA 02145

Plot summary (from TakaWiki): The story is set in the capital of Earth, Takarazuka-City. The peaceful planet Earth — a united world where war, crime, and all evils have been overcome — receives a visit from Baddy, a vagabond rogue from the moon. Baddy is a super-cool, elegant, and a heavy smoker. But he soon finds that smoking is outlawed across the face of the Earth. Baddy, accepting no limits, leads his gang and engages in all sorts of wrongdoing to make the dull world more interesting. His final goal is to steal the planetary budget guarded in Takarazuka Big Theater Bank. But all-mighty female investigator Goody is gaining on him!

The Takarazuka Revue is an all-female cast, performing male and female roles both, and Baddy is a confection of silliness, lobster costumes, public queerness, and passport forgery. Be here, be queer!

(This event is open to the public. But ain't nothing saying we can't have a multi contingent here to enjoy it...)

mushroom musume ~ fufu & kuna

fufu - volatile purple fairy ring . several things compound here and so think did not really get to see effects of all - for example , fufu grow up with 0 affection , but think override by faerie gamble . also end up with debt to witch due to recluse die off-screen somewhere , so despite likelihood would open up great mountain aspiration , instead choose to do some dirty work for witch ... then turn tail and refuse , which end in certain death . witch is just jealous mushrooms can make friends >_>

kuna - assertive black deathcap . maximum affection for kuna ! between both garden setup and event choices , end up with really strong dampness , potency , and humanity all at once . kind of funny combination for girl who feel deep , visceral urges to kill - funnily never run into any events that would allow kuna to kill , so really just play as ... helpful thief ? kuna did of course meet mr newyear , and that is where ...



this world is so fun to play around in . same things happen over and over again , but others happen dynamically , change as each daughter add on . wonder about lore reasons for that ? try not to look at spoilers too much in all honesty , but know there is some really cool stuff ahead , which not really sure how to get to yet . part of why go through whole journey to record as much as possible !

mushroom musume ~ hello ???

evidently : game choose ! did not get any choice of where to go , or what aspiration to choose , just force down forest path and suddenly - " cross the bridge " all over screen . so holy shit , OK ! guess jo's cafe and thief will have to wait for future daughters !

Summer Shed

Mori: our headspace has started having weather and seasons, but it’s not as marked in changes as out here. It gets cold enough to snow sometimes but rarely sticks, it gets up to maybe eighty, warm but not HOT, and while it rains more often than it snows, it’s pretty much never windy. Rawlin has slept outdoors here her entire life (a woman her size finds human-size dwellings claustrophobic) and is fine; between her fur coat, a poncho, and her winter den above the hot springs, she’s always been able to make herself comfortable.

But this summer has been hot, and she’s been fronting way more, leading us to learn that she overheats pretty quickly. Makes sense, since she barely sweats.

What’s more, she SHEDS. Still not as bad as our roomy cat, though.

silly thoughts

if kossai was in mushroom musume ...
pixie's parasol , but with fun wings . because ... because . :P

base traits : slime form , incompetent
additionally : bookworm

dampness : mid range
mycelium : high range
robustness : low range
potency : mid range
humanity : variable day by day

would hang out in mushroom village lots , but maybe explore human settlements and bring back some totally not stolen trinkets :D

relationship to diagnoses ~ one physical faerie perspective

crosspost from tumblr . ( original post )

preface

want to make clear that none of this post is to say that any variation or trait is inherently nonhuman regardless of circumstance , this is just personal experience of kossai . medical and psychiatric systems have uses , and where circumstances safe , not necessarily bad to investigate these avenues .

please do not trust anyone who say that any variation is definite sign of something nonhuman or magical , such as extraterrestrial status - this is not journey which others can decide outcome . this is especially important if not yet investigate medical or psychiatric avenues , or if circumstances of mind or body recently change after medical event , emotional trauma , or other big life event .

under cut for length , and general discussion of frustrations in psychiatric and medical systems .

Rebuilding journal search again

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.
