The Peninsula, Chapter 5
No warnings, just a bunch of chatter.
I may go into detail someday on the Tanonuim’s basises. Because they’re a very intriguing sort of coasters and it’ll clear up why I made them the way they are (may do the same for the Fsemacea as well)
It had been a few days of largely uneventful wandering, followed by quite a few more of seemingly endless climbing, up and down and up again, along seemingly infinite switchbacks of stone stairs as they crossed the mountains into the heart of the Woodlands. At first, Teltra had shrugged off this choice.  He assumed they didn’t know or wanted to play it safe.  But after seeing numerous dark brownish forms race through the patchy woods on the mountainsides, he was growing increasingly agitated from frustration with their choices.  
“Why are you taking the path for the spirits?  You know, we don’t have to do all this back and forth nonsense, we can just climb straight up some of these sections.  It’s how everyone else gets in and out of here, or at least it’s what I did.”
“This is as Kitiru commanded.”
“Kitiru?  Who the hell is Kitiru?”
“Controls where we are headed"
“Heh, clearly doesn’t know much about the Woodlands, does he?”
“This way is most secure.”
“I’ve honestly never heard of anyone getting hurt entering or leaving by climbing.  And it’s far faster, you know.”
“We cannot risk harm.”
“What if someone’s following you two?  Wouldn’t taking a faster route be safer then?”
Velvetsi butted in
“You are becoming irritating.”
Teltra paused a moment, thought to himself, and sighed.  It was such a minor thing, but he still felt so guilty about it because others had been just as demanding and insistent to him and he remembered how much he always resented it.  How they always ducked around his arguments and cut off his ideas.  It felt… belittling to him and he hated being treated as such a fool by everyone.  
“Sorry about that.  I don’t know what’s getting into me.  I’m just… getting frustrated by how we’re taking such a pointlessly long route and not really going anywhere fast.  I’m used to travel being quick and it’s just… so aggravating with the scenery stalling around me and seeing the same things for hours at a time….. and I just can’t stand it!”
It was a lie, though.  Or at least a withholding of the truth.  He was exhausted by his surroundings, but he was also just impatient to see the Woodlands.  A part of him dreaded it, but a larger part egged him on, demanding to satisfy its morbid curiosity.  He feared what he may find, but he wanted to know.  Having gotten this opportunity to learn about his homeland, the desire to see what had become of it had been growing in his mind.
“Still, I’ve never heard of anyone having any trouble climbing rather than taking the stairs.  Maybe you Fsemacea are different, but we Lteiasecl live in much hillier terrain and do a fair amount of climbing around.  We may have a lot of issues, but the only thing that’s honestly happened when we’ve done this is getting stuck at times.  Nobody’s actually fallen for decades, all creatures had to be built to be able to hold on if they did get stuck.  Because of some horrible accident ages ago.  Or at least that’s what Dagnakki claimed an old fellow in the Woodlands said.  Besides, I’m getting tired because the spirits are just fluttering away because we’re slugging along and boring them and walking’s getting harder by the minute.”
Vlevetsi turned to Loreaft, shaking her head slowly in disapproval, but the other Fsemacea just shrugged.  She cautiously touched a paw off the path, took a few steps, and shrugged again at her.  
“Feels secure.”
Vlevetsi followed her, her steps even more unsure, but after a few she tensed up with confidence.  Teltra grinned at the two, said nothing, and led the way.  
——– They moved at a faster pace, but it still took hours to cross the range.  They had stopped for the night in a patch of trees towards the base of one of the mounts, and hiked all the next day as well, finally reaching the valley of the Woodlands at sunset that day.  
Something was… unusual, though.  It had struck him as odd that only a few spirits continued to tag around the three of them somewhere around midday.  Yet there had been far more earlier on the trail.  Had he taken a wrong turn?  This was the path he had vaguely remembered taking when he ran, had his memory failed him?
He had, literally and figuratively, brushed aside the shrubbery growing over the later stretch of the path, but it was becoming harder to ignore.  As night fell, the reassuring glow of passing spirits was entirely gone, the foliage was too much for them to pass through.   The three were only fueled by the fervor of the night and the drive to get to Kitiru, and in Teltra’s case, see what had become of this place.  They were also pushed on by a growing fear of not reaching a more accessible area before midnight and passing out somewhere where they wouldn’t be able to get up in he morning.  
As they went deeper into the woods, visibility became worse and worse.  They felt swallowed.  All the two Fsemacea could do was wearily follow the singular light left flitting around Teltra as quickly as they could along the winding path.  Perhaps the felt the terrain lower a bit.  They really weren’t sure.  Teltra would nervously glance around for a familiar boulder, a stump where he remembered there being an unusual tree once, a unique maneuver of the path, anything remotely recognizable to get him closer to the heart of the Woodlands.
“Are we not misguided?”
“Lost?”
“No, I don’t think so.  I know I’ve been through here before, just not at night like this.  I thought this was the main way into the place, but I guess…. they must have found a new one or something.  I don’t know, it’s been like a decade since I last went in here.  
Vlevetsi was silent and very still.  As would every Fsemacea when not talking.  But Loreaft seemed to detect that something was wrong with her.  She followed her gaze down the dip in the earth ahead of them.  There stood a short, scraggly figure with crooked limbs and three horns.  Loreafts breathing suddenly became heavy, and she turned and ran, Vlevetsi following.  But Teltra was still.  The figure wasn’t facing them, in fact, it seemed unaware that they were even there, as it began to bend down and peer through some bushes.  He snuck up closer to it, and looking to have a little fun, poked it in the shoulder to watch it jump.
“DEAR ARCHER IN THE SKY, DON’T HURT ME,  I SWEAR I’M NOT A BAD GUY-”
They sighed in relief, seeing that Teltra was just giggling at them.  
“Oh man, I though one of the…. Tanonuim had finally caught me.”
“Oh, no, I’m definitely not one of those…I don’t think so at least.  Well, I’ve never even heard the term before at least.”
“BAHAHA, you ask, what’s a Tanonuim?  You really don’t know?  Come on, they’re not that new of a thing.  Six years and it hasn’t come down the grapevine to you yet?  You haven’t noticed any of your muddy buddies vanishing and being replaced by something suspiciously familiar?”
“I haven’t been here in ten, closer to eleven years, mate.”
“Oh boy, you came to just the right guy to fill you in. See, I love watching the big guys in the Woodlands here.  Always bickering and fighting and full of such amusing drama.  It’s morally dubious getting  my amusement from their pain, but they’re certainly entertaining.  So then one day this one big guy looked like he was gonna die, but no, he just sits there for like a year or so and when he wakes up, he’s a totally different thing-”
“Uh, sorry I need to go check on my.. traveling companions.  You’re not… one of those Atochengra blokes are you?”
“What, me?  Hell no.  My Far Spirit’s in the middle of nowhere and I’m about as scared of Fsemacea coming in as I am becoming a Tanonuim myself.  I mean, they creep me out a little with those stone faces, but there’s no point in me hurting them.  As I said before, I might be something of a creep when it comes to the Tanonuim, but I’m not malicious, just along for the ride-
"Oh, good, I’ll go.. retrieve them, hopefully they haven’t shut down yet.”
He rushed back to where he came from, calling out to the two.  They were hiding in a dense thicket and jolted when they heard him approach.
“Hey, that guy’s not a threat.  Says they won’t hurt you.  Maybe they’ll lead us to a busier spot.”
Loreaft cautiously crept out.  Vlevetsi halted and stared, but begrudgingly followed her out.
“I see you found your company, haven’t you?  So, shall I continue?”
“No, no, it’s getting late and we don’t have much time left, is there a place around here that’s.. busier?  We got lost or something and I haven’t seen lights in ages and I’m so tired.”
“Yeah, that’s because this is the old entrance.  Only ones who use it anymore are the guys I like to watch.  I’ll spare the details for now but it’s because they’re not taken kindly by the other fellas in the Woodlands.  But I’ll take you to a spot where there’s usually a bit more of a crowd.  Not many creatures, but lots of confused spirits looking for one that used to frequent that area.”
They followed them a short distance to a sudden large lake.  A nub og land poked out into it, where the lights of several dozen visitors flickered as they gawked at a large dormant form.
“That’s- was, Nsteamarek.  Now recently renamed to Vtegnaselecene.  Don’t mind her, she can’t move a muscle until she reawakens next spring.   I suppose you could call her a Tanonuim, but I suppose she’s also not totally one until she’s fully together and up and moving.”
The four laid down around the figure, a bit puzzled by how the full moon was so high in the sky, but that they weren’t nodding off yet.  
“I’ve heard that name before, Nsteamarek.  Did she ever know a Dagnakki?”
“Mmhm, she was reportedly in correspondence with them.  She was one of the most interesting to watch before she… was changed.  Not one to really start shit herself over little things like others in the Woodlands, but almost like me in that she constantly investigated and wrote things down.  Particularly preoccupied by circles, history, and the the lifespans of various creatures.  Had an old tree stump where she marked out major events, dead creatures’ creation and destruction times and such on a continuous spiral.  Lonely one, she was.  Never got much attention from the passing spirits because she was so.. uninteresting and pretty abrasive, and usually pretty exhausted because she was weak from the lack of their power, but she seemed happy enough recording things on the stump.”
“Ah, yes, Dagna did mention how they admired her organization but got so frustrated by how little information she had since she wanted legitimate information, not just rumors like them.  I think they mentioned sending her destruction rumors when they got wind of them because they thought it was funny to see her get frustrated by always getting that crap from them.  And then proving her wrong afterwards when the occasional one was right.”
“Yes, that’s how other creatures of her kind could be.  They’re aware of the shoddy choices that led to their own mediocre to miserable existences and focus on ensuring that their own actions don’t go down that path.  It’s kept some of them under control at least… but not others.  Though I fear with how the Raven and the Mountain Grub have gone around modifying even the slightly unruly Woodlanders for the Banenhaxers that they’ll start seeing that as a way out and lose that mindset.  
"Oh, say, what is a Tanonuim anyways?  Since you didn’t ge to it earlier.”
“They are…. a wonderful and horrifying thing.  Seeing one certainly gives you chills of terror and amazement.  Some Far Spirit takes their  some old, unpopular, unloved bloke.  Someone nobody would miss and not even their Far Spirit cares for them anymore.  All they really need is to be in decent physical shape.  And that’s when the Grub and the Raven do their worst on them.  Raven plans it out, Grubby actually orchestrates it.  Then they’re ripped apart and reshaped and just… altered until they’re hardly the same creature anymore.  Turned into some uncanny hybrid of a typical Woodlander and one of the outsiders.  Usually they’ll sprout red or otherwise bright markings and go grey in big patches.  Can be pretty, but usually they’re pretty hideous with the muddy brown and grey smashed together.  And then they wake up in that new body, and you can tell they’re the same creature deep within, but they often hardly act like or resemble who they once were.”
“So, what kind of changes are we talking about?”
“The angles grow sharper, horns sprout from their heads, usually they grow a bit, or a solid four feet in Nstea’s case.  And they go from sluggish and tired and cranky all the time to these buckets of nutso joy and endless praise for the spirits that changed them.  Do understand, many of the creatures would have simply been killed if not for those two.  They’ll skip around, behave as the outsiders do, perform gymnastics, but most of all skip around.  It’s something all of them do.  They go from charging or walking to…. prancing everywhere for whatever reason.  Even now that the the spirits behind them have begun making their own creatures from the ground up, they also skip like that.  Technically, all creatures made or all altered by the Raven and the Grub are considered Tanonuim, but the colloquial meaning of that term usually refers to those who were not created as Tanonuim but became them later in life”
Teltra was silent.  He wasn’t entirely sure what to think.The other creature turned and smiled at him.
“You want more stuff on them? Too bad, you’re getting it anyways.  Basically, the reason why I hang around this back entrance is because none of them use the newer entrances.  Mix of their old habits dying hard since they’re all older than they think and feel, and kind of being chased back here by the others.  See, the visitors love them.  Especially the Ehtstunisas.  And I think the Far Spirits do to, there’s certainly enough cropping up that I have to imagine they’re doing well for them.  But the other Woodlanders?  They want them out of here.  Because they’re not 100% Woodlander anymore, they’re more like 70%, maybe less.  And they don’t really act like them either.  And they feel threatened by them like the Atochengra guys do, since they’re absolutely batshit for their beloved Grubby and a good number of them love running around preaching about how great it is to be an Tanonuim and how outdated and dumb all the regular Woodlanders are and they ought to become Tanonuim too, even if they’re practically babies and loved and adored.  They’ll go up to even the more popular guys and whispers seeds of doubt to them.  That their Far Spirit could use a Tanonium to complete their collection and even if they are historical, they’re not the MOST historical and if Sollussco and the River Nyoccel became one of them, so could they.  That they’d be so much lower maintenance and be young again.  And I understand the arguments of both sides, honestly.  I’d hate it if someone kept shitting on me like that and trying to make me do something so drastic, but honestly, they do make good points.  But there’s something to be said about the strange love spirits have for Woodlanders.  They’re antiquated and generally inferior to more modern sorts of creatures, but spirits love their personalities and historical value-”
They were cut off mid-ramble by the sudden advent of sleep, as was Teltra.

Nev Replays Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations Case 4
Caitlin: I'm on the fourth case now which means Mia vs baby brat edgeworth.
 He's only 20 jesus.
He even did his "the prosecution has been ready for a WHILE" thing in his very first trial. ever. AT LEAST EASE INTO THINGS MILES.
This is not the usual judge but the judge's younger brother. who is a blonde version of regular judge. the only difference is he's apparently canadian.
 but if they're brothers??? maybe it's half brothers. Or he moved to Canada when he was older and then moved back.
also he actually jumps the gun way more than regular judge he's tried to declare our client guilty three times the case has just started
“With his tendency to go off on weird tangents and that accent I wonder if he's Canadian" I did not know Canadians were known for weird tangents.
luci: are they abo'ut maple syrup tho
or hockey
Caitlin: Some of them are about hockey
luci: bahaha
Caitlin: awww Mia did meet Gumshoe. He has a different color coat so you can tell he's younger
When I presented her profile while I was playing as Phoenix Gumshoe mentioned he knew her and it was a TERRIBLE LOSS. You sure didn't act like you knew her during her murder case. 
Then he was all like "WE WENT HEAD TO HEAD IN COURT. TWO GREAT MINDS LOCKED IN BATTLE" and Phoenix was like "...you're not supposed to battle the lawyer as a witness, you know that right"
luci: everyone grieves in their own way
Caitlin: That might explain why he was so enthusiastic to arrest Maya. idk. That was his grief.
GUESS WHO WITHHELD EVIDENCE WHAT A SHOCKER
Gumshoe is so hurt Miles didn't let him know about this evidence. Miles says he didn't think he'd notice everything so he went to the scene himself after the police investigation and collected his own evidence. rude.
Now Maya wants to wring his "smarmy little neck" with the evidence. Ace Attorney AU where Mia murders Miles here. The entire plot of the first game is therefore ruined
luci: hmm i wonder how shed do it
oh right in the courtroom? haha
Caitlin: She could probably do it in front of this judge and confuse him into thinking he didn't see it
"Mr. Edgeworth I don't appreciate you wagging your finger at me like I'm some hoser". Sorry Judge he's not going to stop he was taught this is essential courtroom procedure.
This case would be so much more enjoyable if i didn't have to worst character in all ace attorney as my assistant. i hate him so much
Like he's way worse than all the annoying side characters because I have to put up with him so much more and I'm supposedly supposed to sympathize with him to a degree when he's a horrible misogynist fuckbag.
Playing AA before going back to work. Sometimes Miles uses completely fucking obscure words and I actually have to look them up. 
Mia is asking why a policewoman would turn her back on someone attacking her and Miles is like "well, he's a very large man most people would try to run away. If it was a quaggy woman like you I'm sure she'd have fought". WHAT DOES QUAGGY MEAN.
I  just looked it up and it means "soft, flabby". WOW MILES. GO TO YOUR ROOM YOUNG MAN. U RLLY ARE A LITTLE BRAT. a little brat with a thesaurus.
apparently Mia knew what it meant too because she was offended. who on earth has ever used that word.
Though according to urban dictionary it's supposed to be a "nice" word, like pillowy. 
The judge is informing us he would have run away and jumped in the river in our victim's situation.
"Oh no, He's got that condescending tone in his voice" Mia, it's Miles Edgeworth that's like saying water is wet.
awwww. We found out our victim had previously shot a dude when he kidnapped her little sister. Mia says, "I thought that was extreme when I first heard, but now knowing it was for her little sister, I get that". 
MIA WOULD TOTALLY SHOOT A DUDE IN THE HEAD FOR MAYA. Wouldn't we all.
I'M KICKING MILES' ASS AND IT FEELS SO GOOD.
 "So young, and already so forgetful, Mr. Edgeworth!" Destroy him, Mia
Caitlin: The ending for this trial is really traumatizing. I won't spoil it but Mia makes sure to inform us it deeply traumatized  her. Then she informs us she's pretty sure it traumatized Miles too. Because he didn't already have enough things to be traumatized about, I guess.
Now I feel bad for making fun. His life really is nothing but a series of witnessing horrible things.
[ My addition: Like. Can you imagine Phoenix ever asking Miles about his first trial. I’m just imagining the conversation. 
“The one against me was your second trial, right, Wright? What was your first trial like”
“Oh, I represented Larry. It was pretty nervewracking but I’m proud that I saved him. What was your first trial like?”
“It scarred me for life.”
“Oh. Um, that’s sad. Weird, that’s what Mia also says about her first trial.”
“...”
It is kind of interesting that Miles and Phoenix both had trauma courtesy of Dahlia Hawthorne. I actually guess Phoenix knows now since he was reading the case file.I wonder if he ever bought it up. They’ve probably talked about it at one point. It’d have to be super weird to know the two most major people who impacted your life- and who you were the most devoted too and one worked out and one didn’t- were connected in that way]
Welp, that's over. On to the final case. Which is really long, I'm sure.

Will You Still Love Me When I'm No Longer Young & Beautiful?!
Damn, Lana Del Rey.  That is the million dollar question.  While getting married, a lot of us make vows to love our partner until eternity.  But honestly, ain’t nothin about aging that is pretty except maybe wisdom accumulated along the way.  I have officially gone from being the Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday to the Jamie Lee Curtis. eeeek.  The Amy Poehler in Mean Girls…
Tumblr media
I love being in my thirties.  To be honest, I tried REALLY hard not to make it this far.  My twenties left me rode hard and put away wet bahaha.  It is so funny, but it is also so, so tragic.  I will say, though, that my self confidence has plummeted.  I have always had body dysmorphic disorder.  For those of you unfamiliar…I have a disease that makes me think I look A HELL OF A LOT DIFFERENT than how I actually look.  On top of that, I am just naturally heavier than most women.  I like to tell myself “muscle weighs more than fat.” haha but I still honestly cringe stepping on the scale.  I would love to say “weight doesn’t matter!!!” but it has mattered to me.  In fact, it bothered me so much in high school volleyball being heavier than my teammates that it manifested into a monster eating disorder in my twenties.  And this is how twisted society is, the more anorexic I became, the more people praised me.  I would literally cry at night with severe hunger pains.  Even at my lowest weight ever, I still had it in my head that I was fat.  I was literally torturing myself.  I would eat light and then feel so freaking guilty I would throw it up.  People thought I was sexy, so I continued.  My body image had less to do with being hot and more to do with power and control.  After some trauma, I lost control of my life.  I wanted the power back.  And, for me, getting the power back meant controlling what I put into my body.  Also, to be totally upfront, being thinner helped me use my body to screw over any asshole I wanted to.  Hurt people hurt people.  I say it all the time.  Its true.  It was a high in itself being conventionally “hot."  I was kind of the ugly duckling growing up.  I had a ratty, curly mullet and dressed like a dude.  So getting attention….better jobs, better grades, rich men, really hot underworld men…was like a high in itself.  I am sorry to say this, but it is basically fact, pretty people have different doors opened for them…like, literally, more people opened doors for me when I was young and pretty haha.  Now the door to the gas station hits me in the face.  Welp, it was fun while it lasted, hot streak.  Yes, as I mentioned, being "conventionally"  pretty had its perks, but it came with a lot of struggle as well.  People immediately took me for a stupid asshole.  People called me a bitch before they even got to know me.  People thought I got jobs from blowing the manager.  My education, strength and courage were minimized.  If I showed strength, I was an arrogant bitch.  If I pretended to be inferior I was a dumb bimbo.  I could not win a lot.  It is hard to be taken seriously when you have big boobs you like showing off.  I want to break the stigma that sluts, people that look like sluts, women in general cannot feel sexy and smart.  Buuuuuut now that I am in my thirties I have to lean on my personality a little bit more than in my twenties…and that scares me.  I am looking at my life like "holy shit, I am over the phase of having a man take care of me….I gotta do something for my damn self…and I can no longer skate on my looks anymore."  Holtman Donuts now stick to my body like glue.  I cry looking at large French fries and then eat them anyways.  Then I do a jiggle technique in the mirror (ladies you already know) and then feel horrible about myself.  Used to be, I would stop eating for a few days and be back to my tiny frame.  Now…YIKES…if I do not eat, I get even larger.  Fuck you thirties metabolism.  Everyone thinks they are exempt until it happens.  It hit me like a ton of bricks this year.  I literally cannot lose my Fat Upper Pussy Area (FUPA) by using my old techniques.  I think of the calorie count of everything before I eat it.  I contemplate how much creamer to put in my coffee now.  I wonder…why the fuck are my arms so soft and jiggly now?  They were NOT like this six months ago.  Aging, man.  Many parts of it are truly a bitch.  I can no longer do a back walkover, but I think I can do one still, so I do the backbend for my daughter and black out so hard I don’t even know what planet I am on.  My daughter says words like "SAVAGE” and “FLEEK"  and I feel confused and uncomfortable.  I tell my children that back in the "olden days," we did not have cell phones.  If we could not find our friend at the mall, we just were shit out of luck.  If we miscommunicated a meeting spot or lost someone we were following, we were just fucked.  That blows my daughter’s mind.  I go to target and see earthy, "guilt free” thirty dollar shampoo and think…my gosh…I may feel guilt free because it is “green” or whatever, but hot damn, I got kids to feed. And, as Eminem put it best, “and man these God damn food stamps don’t buy diapers."  The struggle is real.  I now look at my mom and think "damn, you’re right. can you help me?"  I ask about pensions and mortgages and actually LOOK at my credit report.  I think about how far behind I am from a lot of my peers at OSU and hate myself…but then I tell myself that God put me on a different path. haha I think about how I am now identifying more with the parent in shows and movies than the kids…I watch "13 Reasons why” and I’m like “way to be an involved, concerned parent.  what is wrong with the word ointment??? that’s what it is, right?” I resent the high school kids for back talking.  And I want to scream…“YEA THAT BEAUTIFUL SUBURBAN HOUSE YOU LIVE IN WAS A REAL BITCH YOU GET, YOU UNGRATEFUL FUCK.  And…your headphones literally cost more than my entire wardrobe.  Why?  BECAUSE I SACRIFICE FOR YOU."  I used to think my mom was a bitch, honestly.  And now I look back and think…"DAMN…my mom is SAVAGE” (insert cringe hahaha) But she is a beast…I mean, she is a BOSS.  At home and at work.  She is respected.  Because she demands respect.  I want to be like her, honestly.  She more than provides for our ENTIRE family…including a husband that is severely handicapped.  She is fierce.  And, now that I am in my thirties, I want to be just like my home.  I know money can’t buy happiness…but it can put food in my childrens mouth and a roof over their heads.  And nowadays, it takes a shit ton of money to even just stay afloat.  If you are a single mom reading this, you are fucking superhuman.  Get it, girl.  I want to show my kids I am strong.  That I can rise up out of poverty and be a success even though the world thinks I cannot do it.  I am valuing what is on the inside of people instead of judging them for their outsides.  Most of the time I make snap judgments, I end up being wrong.  So I humble my know it all mind and get to know people.  Being in my early thirties is honestly one of the most beautiful times in my life.  I realized I do no want a narcissistic, abusive spouse…that I do have worth despite what he told me….that I am beautiful still, even though he said I am not and never will be again.  That I WANT sobriety.  That I love myself sober.  And that I can do whatever the hell I want to do in this life.  THE TIME IS NOW.  Love you all.
