intro post
hi i'm waxine! i'm mostly on here to post about the aurora cycle, but i also love classic rock, classic literature, and fashion. usually those interests end up getting mixed in some way, shape, or form.

ok ladies, gentlemen, Fems, Chums, neither, whatever the hell yall go by. How do we wanna set this whole among us game up? Does discord work for yall for instant messaging? Do we need to organize something else? (Does tumblr have some sort of functionality like that? I’m new to the website idk)
A Discord would be great for me.
who's creating the discord?
have we made official plans for this friday guys

we, like as a community, should organize an online event or something. Play stellaris, or do a writing competition, or even have a meme making contest. Something organized to maybe draw some more people into the fandom.
anyways next lore snippet coming either tonight or tomorrow morning
Ok glad to see there’s a good bit of support for this. The bigger issue now: times and dates. I propose 9pm PST on Friday the 15th. Idk where everyone else is geographically so just say if it doesn’t work and we can do a vote or something
this works for me!
i think i can do this!!
as a fashion student, one of the things i love most about the series is the CLOTHES. i love how they're described in detail (thank you scar) and how the outfits add to each scene. in the beginning it mentions syldrathi wearing long robes, which one can assume are traditional clothing. i did a sketch of the robes a few months ago:
these are formal robes made of a stiffer wool-like fabric that come in any color. they're emblazoned with the wearer's cabal which is usually hand-beaded onto the robes :)

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back
additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you
useful terminology for different kinds of clothing shapes :)
fashion student here: this is true! i took a whole class where i had to learn all those details

so to add to this "how did syldra die?" discourse, i would like to add my theory that it all blew up instantaneously. if the star was blown up, chances are that disturbing the homeostasis of something so volatile would cause a colossal explosion. we read in the books that not only did the explosion of syldra's sun eliminate the planet, but all of the other planets in the system. my theory is it was a nagasaki/hiroshima (not to make light of those horrific circumstances) where it was a massive-scale nuclear explosion caused by the disruption of an already borderline unstable celestial body like a star.
