Just in case anyone was like, "WTF!? I thought this stupid chick swore off RP forever and said she was never coming back," I wrote an explanatory post a while back explaining how life sucks sometimes and you shouldn't make grand statements that have the word "never" in them.

If Jay-Z can make a big deal about retiring and come back, I don't see why Jewell can't. I'm happy for both. :grin:

I believe Sean Connery once made a James Bond movie called "Never Say Never Again." ;)

Seriously, though, as nice as it is to see you back and playing, I am sorry to hear about the reasons that prompted your return.

Yes! Koy has stumbled upon Jewell's new career in RhyDin: a rap artist :) Now she just needs to have more kids and name them ridiculous things; she can be like Kayne and Jay-Z

Thank you. I pretty much have the attitude of, "such is life." Some days I do want to crawl under a rock, though.

It is no secret in my house that I am obsessed with Pinterest.

It's a great way to find healthy, delicious recipes like Quinoa Tabbouleh and Brow Sugar and Balsamic Crock Pot Pork Loin. Also Vodka Slushies? Totally as awesome as they sound.

I was actually dumbstruck today that this worked, though: Spray Cooking Spray on Wet Nail Polish. Yes, it absolutely 100% made my nails dry faster and kept them from smudging.

PINTEREST IS AMAZING! And I thought you all should know.

To Do List:

*Post information for the upcoming Masquerade
*Flesh out Little Elfhame (back story and setting descriptions)
*Add more to Jewell's house setting post
*Add more "Intercourse" posts
*Write "The Shrines We Make for the Unforgotten"
*Cause trouble with Harris and Seiri

That said, I'm going to Philly tomorrow instead :)

Maybe I'll be more interested in sitting down and writing instead of just daydreaming when I come back on Sunday.

I am going away tomorrow mid-morning until the following Saturday (Sept. 21st). The Monday after I come back (Sept. 23rd), I am starting a new job.

I probably will not be checking the forums and/or posting at all while away. I will be writing a lot (hopefully) while away, but that won't get posted for some time because of the whole anxiety attack over a new job situation.

Have fun. Be safe. Play hard.

Didn't get any writing done while away (oops). Now I'm too busy being anxious about work. Is starting a new job ever not stressful?

Next on the list:
*Sublimation (continued)
*Little Elfhame

And maybe Jewell will join Issy one of these days in chasing down some Bhaalites.

I am possibly fielding a team for IFL.

I want newer duelist and low-ranking ones.

I know that means we don't have a great chance of winning, but it is a great opportunity for people to play, duel, interact with other characters and players, and just have fun doing something different.

I have done TDL (sword team dueling) and IFL in the past, and even though I was a new duelist at the time, I always had a lot of fun.

Anyone interested?

I always forget to post this, but Avenged Sevenfold's album Nightmare is basically the soundtrack for most of the recent stuff I wrote for Jewell concerning her return to RhyDin.

Every time I listen to this album, it inspires me to write. I think it might be the overall best album in my entire Itunes collection. It is beautiful and gives me chills every time.

Checkup From the Neck Up is my attempt to see what happens when you send a character to therapy to deal with the years of psychological scarring you've unrepentantly inflicted upon her.

I'm a big proponent of being open about mental health issues, talking about them, and acknowledging that it's okay (and good!) to get help. One day, we'll all be able to comfortably admit that we're a bit f'd up.

Then I see people with their perfect little families: their perfect little husband, their perfect little children, their perfect house with a perfect pet and a perfect dinner sitting on the table made by their perfect little hands. And I hate them. And I want to be them because at least they know where they fit in life. At least they know where they belong. They have stability. They have love and security. They have everything they could ever want and need because they have each other.

I absolutely adore you!

You learn something new every day.

Today, I learned that I apparently modeled Jewell (without ever intending to) on one of my childhood heroes: Scarlett O'Hara. That's right, Scarlett from Gone with the Wind was one of my childhood heroes. A little weird. I also wrote a speech in 7th grade about how much I love Clark Gable because of Gone with the Wind.

There's a great scene in the beginning of the film where she is sitting at the barbeque, surrounded by men she is shamelessly flirting with even though she doesn't care for a single one of them. She's pampered and prissy, but she is also stronger than everyone else in the movie. Deliver a baby while the city is being bombed? Sure thing. Almost starve to death and keep your whole family alive? No problem. Mother, father, unborn baby, and child die (not to mention the two husbands)? I got this.

Here's to two of my favorite fictional women:

Exsanguination is a re-do of the unfinished "La Politiques de F?e" storyline. The first few posts are fairly similar before it diverges into the story it was meant to be.

It is really a continuation of the story begun in Things Fall Apart and Save Me.

Warning: If you are triggered by depictions of self-injury, then you should stay away from the latest Exsanguination post.

I choose to tackle such subjects in Jewell's stories because they are important to me, and I think they are important topics to discuss. Self-injury has been a part of Jewell's story for a long time; it was my way of trying to understand something that I didn't know how to cope with as a teenager. Now it's just my way to keep the conversation going.

Yesterday was the four year anniversary of my husband getting hurt and our lives turning completely upside down.

It has been an incredibly exhausting four years in basically every way imaginable. There are some days when it's a struggle just to function like I must.

There are also times when I would not be able to deal with it as I do if it wasn't for this community and the people in it. Some of you interact with me in the room and on the boards without ever realizing what a boost to my day it gives me. Others let me have complete emotional breakdowns while I'm sitting in a doctor's office (or a hotel room, in a leg cast, by myself while my husband is in the hospital and I'm hyperventilating) and they are hundreds of miles away but still put everything aside to talk to me.

You're very important to me. This community is very important to me.

Found today in an old OOC thread of mine:

Just something I found interesting:

Another potential reason for the rarity of murder is that fey generally prefer humiliation with a good dose of violence to lethal force. With careful planning, revenge over a slight can be enjoyed for centuries,. The monotony of endless days can be filled with schemes, whispers and delicious thoughts of one's enemy twisting on the end of a string like a puppet forced to dance. Death, in its finality, brings only a quick release.

Maybe I should rethink where Jewell's story is going.

JewellRavenlock

Date: 2015-11-17 15:14 EST
Also, this was funny to me because it's still a pretty accurate description of Jewell almost ten years later.

The woman had no idea what she had in store if she kept being so damn provocative and sexy. Her ?I?m beautiful and friendly and I get my way personality? maddened him. She was a 9-10, way too hot for her own good, despite her old age. If she wasn?t careful, Skyler would end up exploiting that attraction he knew she had for him.

The woman was so expressive with her body language and facial expressions and personality quirks, Skyler could read her like a large-print book. But there was a problem that frustrated him deeply. He suspected she didn?t see him as the vile villain that he was. Skyler was not a nice boy. She would discover that sooner or later, he would see to it. He may not be evil or demonic, but he was certainly not nice, and he was certainly a jerk often times. In his experience, the nice guy was always the one waiting outside in the pouring rain with flowers in his hands, while the bad guy was inside having his way with the girl he wanted. No, Skyler Jackson Chamberland was not a nice guy. Not now, not ever.

I like writing about names/naming and the power of names.

One of my favorite things I ever wrote is A Rose By Any Other Name. I actually (randomly browsing my old logs) found the old log where Jewell told Stephen the first part of her name on March 7, 2007.

I really love all her posts. A lot of it is very business minded (that's what her blog is about), but she really resonates with me no matter what she writes.

JewellRavenlock

Date: 2016-06-16 20:05 EST
I'm glad I live in a world where Tara writes things like this.

Favorite parts (aside from the "Okay bye you stupid bastard" ending):
I have to admit, I felt guilty for not mentioning Jewelsie. She IS my BFF after all but then I'd have to explain how she likes to not bathe sometimes, goes off on excursions in the fairy forest and comes back with like three and half husbands, some of which I'm forced to hide when they go bad (like eggs sat on a counter too long), and all the other weird things that Jewelsie is sometimes known for.

You ask her, you bastard.

Because I can picture you sitting there with that stupid smirk on your face and you shaking that cubed skull of yours going, "She's lying. Jewell is a lovely lady. She's not weird! Tara's such a LIAR!"

You ask her about the mermaid, or the mushroom, or the rabid badgers that ate my seventeenth husband LUCARUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He didn't deserve a death like that!

YOU ASK JEWELSIE HOW WEIRD SHE CAN BE!

Oh.

Wow.

My forehead is throbbing a little now.

I love my Jewelsie. I do. I have loved her far longer than I'll ever love you and she is mine but she can get a little shady. It's not her fault. She's fairykind. They are, by their very natures, shady. They are adept at tricking you with glamour magic and if you don't have a strong mind, they turn it into essentially oatmeal.

Not that I've ever seen Jewelsie turn someone's brain into a breakfast staple but she's capable of it.

She beat a mermaid to death with a boat oar, you bet your ass she is capable of it!

I was kidnapped by aliens.
I had to find my own way home because you left me on some distant moon.
My future husband asked me to marry him.
We went on vacation.
He left earlier than I did and I came home with a monkey.
Which proceeded to destroy half of Main street and a few marinas.
Oh and the movie theater.
My best friend is quite possibly a serial killer.
Who can make you think your feet are green with just a thought.
Sometimes I'm nervous about the things she says not because they do NOT make sense but because they DO.
Is my brain oatmeal now too?
You are useless.
I was left to fend for myself in a giant teacup.
Frightened out of my wits.
Clinging to survival.
Battling an adversary five thousand times my size.
While you read porn and ate snacks.

Before they could start to bicker, one of the little ones at her feet spoke up loudly. ?I want to hear about a Knight Named Lirssa!?

Jewell smiled. ?That is a good one. Let?s see, how does it go again? Ah yes, there once was a young girl named Lirssa born on the streets of this very city??

Haruka and Michiru (who I first reference directly here) are 100% based on Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune. Obviously, I have even kept their names. They are not those characters, but when I first created the Council for Preternatural Activities, I had based the two agents after them. I thought it was more fun to keep the names and physical description as a little homage to Jewell's roots in Sailor Moon.

Because I got to chat with Skyler's player last night, I thought I'd share this blast from the past again:
The woman had no idea what she had in store if she kept being so damn provocative and sexy. Her ?I?m beautiful and friendly and I get my way personality? maddened him. She was a 9-10, way too hot for her own good, despite her old age. If she wasn?t careful, Skyler would end up exploiting that attraction he knew she had for him.

The woman was so expressive with her body language and facial expressions and personality quirks, Skyler could read her like a large-print book. But there was a problem that frustrated him deeply. He suspected she didn?t see him as the vile villain that he was. Skyler was not a nice boy. She would discover that sooner or later, he would see to it. He may not be evil or demonic, but he was certainly not nice, and he was certainly a jerk often times. In his experience, the nice guy was always the one waiting outside in the pouring rain with flowers in his hands, while the bad guy was inside having his way with the girl he wanted. No, Skyler Jackson Chamberland was not a nice guy. Not now, not ever.

Skyler is the one who really introduced me to dueling. Jewell's first time as Lady of Honor was with him.

And now she's The Empress Overlady :) Pretty cool!

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone that has played with me on Jewell lately or talked to me about playing/writing. It has not been easy to play or write for her the last few weeks. In fact, it's been infuriatingly difficult.

Several people have commented over the last few years that I seem to really enjoy putting Jewell through the wringer. This is a relatively recent thing I've done with her since returning to RP in 2013. While part of me does enjoy seeing how the trials I put her through make her grow and change (and how they serve as a test to see how strong she is), the truth is that the last six years have been the darkest of my life and I just haven't been able to write her any other way.

I have been low, so Jewell has been low with me.

Unfortunately, I think I may have brought her too low this time. The last ten months have been their own particular version of hell for me, and my playing has inevitably reflected that. Things are just starting to turn around for me personally, but I've left Jewell in a worse position than I am it seems. I appreciate those of you who are bearing with me, writing with me, playing with me, and brainstorming with me as I try to dig her out of (what feels like at the moment) an impossibly deep hole.

The Redneck

For a while after I started writing Thorn, while she was cheery in public, her private life was very, very dark.

I was going through, a lot personally and the only way I could even try to process it was through my character. After a while I lost the joy in writing, in playing my character. So I took a break.

And when I came back from that break, I realized I was still in the same dark place I had been. I was erratic as all hells, and it reflected back through Thorn.

I had people who'd known me from the MT on AOL and knew Thorn and they bore with me, gave me a shoulder, gave me support, and let me find myself and my joy again. And those people, I dearly love. Those people I owe my enjoyment of my hobby too once again.

Without them, I wouldn't still be plugging away at this hobby.

But, okay so I went all tangenty. What I'm saying is, hang in there. Both you and Jewell are amazingly resilient women. And amazingly resilient women may take a knee for a while, but they get back up. They get back up and they're stronger and more ...just more than they had been when they called time out.

And thank you for sharing both Jewell's story, and yours as well, with us.

A few things in no particular order:

-You are awesome. IRL stuff definitely has the capacity to bend and shape what happens ooc, but Jewell's a resilient thing and she will find her way back out of the dark.

-Thank you for all the community-story things you do. Beltane, the Temple SL, everything in between. You do an excellent job of putting together compelling things that everyone can take part in, of bringing everyone together and making the whole patchwork cohesive. It's more appreciated than you perhaps know.

-Really enjoying the Too Blue Madness predictions even though I don't duel. That thread is super cute and highly entertaining.

-I am still writing things for you, I swear. Life has been... complicated lately.

<3 Thank you so so much for all of your kind words. I had to wait until I got home to reply because I got a little emotional at work reading this (story of my life these days!).

It's a pleasure to put together things that the whole community can enjoy and encouraging when people let me know they enjoy it. It makes me want to do more so we can all keep having fun.

I hope things un-complicate for you soon!

On a more sobering note, and tied to my latest post in Bending But Never Breaking, if you're struggling with thoughts of suicide, please reach out for help.
The National Suicide Prevention Hotline has a website and a phone number to call any time: 1-800-273-8255.

I know suicidal thoughts do not always equate to suicidal actions. I also know that it probably seems easier not to get help. You're not alone <3

From my hero at The Middle Finger Project: How Do You Survive? How Do You Make It Through the ****storm?With Grace?

You forgive yourself, over and over and over again.

You build little glass cases around your emotions, one by one.

You don?t always like feeling sectioned off?but you forgive yourself for that, too.

You are fragile now.

You learn how to be fragile.

Fragile means you need to play by different rules, for a while.

?No? becomes your religion.

Solitude becomes your faith.

Your entire life pulls backward, like a tightened bow and arrow, going backwards, backwards, backwards, backwards, until you worry your certitude will snap.

But you don?t.

You won?t.

You never will.

Tension is a necessary prerequisite for power.

Every setback is not necessarily a backset.

And sometimes what we perceive as falling, is actually arriving.

Funny enough, survival looks a lot like shrinking.

But don?t let appearances fool you.

A few weeks ago, I posted this. I wasn't sure if I did a great job of conveying what it was like to think about dying/killing yourself without actually being suicidal.

Then The Mighty posted this video today. I think it accurately depicts what I was trying to describe.

It's been a while since I have posted anything. It might be an even longer while still. I've got some life going on right now. There are a few posts kicking around in my brain, but there's no urgency to my writing at the moment.

Issy: "You're an anomaly here, you know." A pointed look to Jewell. "You can take a lot of **** , hold a lot of baggage, and yet, somehow you are
always refreshing. Maybe that's your nature. The fae. Maybe it's what makes you you?"

I've been telling Jewell's story on this website since March 2005. I actually have the 5th username ever created here! I have one of the first story folders ever created here as well, with the first post written in January 2006.

Jewell's story isn't ending (I doubt it ever will), but it's going to be moving homes for now. Maybe I'll even post the rest of the Faerie Queen one day! Don't hold your breath on that, though.

Once again: so long and thanks for all the fish! And the memories.
