finally! some else that does arcana writing! ✨pirate captain julian visiting vesuvia and finding out that the apprentice (who he was madly in love with) is married to lucio but she still loves him? ohhh the angst 😩😭
You got it!! Pirate!jules just hits a certain part of the brain!!
MASTERLIST 10
Tumblr media
Julian has been away for a while, but has returned back to Vesuvia for you
He remembers writing to you, always anticipating his return to you but something seems different as soon as he returns back
The whispers and mentions of your name amongst the people in Vesuvia leave him curious. The shop no longer has your name or anything that was your likeness from befor
Upon hearing the mutterings of the city, he knows it can’t be
Visiting Maz and Portia is heartbreaking enough when they tell him what’s happened: Lucio and you had formed a new rapport, much to Asra’s vocal dismay, but you swore he had change. The Magician who was your dearest friend never believed you and couldn’t bear to be close to the man who caused him so much pain
Sneaking in to get word from Nadia, she offers more of the bittersweet news. She was invited to the wedding, part of Lucio trying to make “amends” and you were as lovely as ever. It was a lavish affair that at least had some happiness to it.
It’s still not enough for the restless captain and Jules knows he has to see you to confirm it for himself.
When he sees you from a hiding spot in the gardens, it hurts to look at you. Soft, calm and wearing the night robes he knows that were gifted from an obvious party.
Climbing up to your balcony, Jules can only offer humor between a watery laugh and a sob. You’re still so flawless to him but he knows he’s lost his chance with you.
As happy as you are to see him, you can’t bear to hug him now. Your new spouse waits for you but the one who still has your heart came back.

The Arcana Recipes: Mazelinka’s soup
After making Asra’s French toast last week, here is Mazelinka’s roasted squash soup! Here’s the original post from the official account with the recipe:
And here’s another recipe anon sent me that’s almost exactly the same (thank you so much friend!!), only with more specific measurements and instructions:
I ended up doing a weird combo of both recipes, while adjusting different spices/aromatics because I was making enough for 20 servings for a community dinner XD
Pics of how it went and some observations below the cut!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first step was prepping and roasting the squash and onions. I chose to follow anon’s recipe on this one, roasting the onions and squash in the oven completely for an hour, instead of putting them in whole for ten minutes and doing the rest of the cooking in the soup pot. The last pic shows the onions and squash on the tray, the seeds I scooped out to roast later, and the olive oil and maple mixture to coat the vegetables with!
Here’s the before and after of the roasting:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ll be honest, I was a little leery of using maple syrup on roast vegetables, but it worked so well!! The sugar ended up adding to the caramelizing process and pulling out a whole new depth of flavor ^.^
Here’s the pot of onion and squash before and after they were blended:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I followed more of the official video with this step, mashing the soup inside the pot instead of using a blender. I made a similar choice of adding fresh ginger and garlic at this stage with the other spices and broth instead of roasting it, and letting the soup simmer for a while.
The result was delicious - hearty, spiced but not spicy, sweet-savory and very comforting. I made homemade dinner rolls to go with them too!
I can definitely see how a flavor profile and heartiness like this would match the soup Mazelinka makes in the story (minus the bone ash and sand)! It’s comforting, unbelievably delicious, more-ish, and ultimately very satisfying. I haven’t tried it Julian style by lacing it with sleeping meds yet, or traded it Portia style with a demon for information, but now I know how to make it in case I ever have to!
As for the squash seeds, I soaked them for half an hour, cleaned the pulp off of them, and let them dry completely before coating them in olive oil and roasting them at 275 for about 30 minutes. I added salt to taste afterwards and my younger siblings gobbled them down like popcorn XD

"Ah ah ah, careful MC. There's poison in these petals."
The years passes but my love for Julian is still there, even if a bit concealed by new interests.

Presenting! Fanart of the one and only super freaky Avra! Inspired by an idea from @kieranfae in the discord server! They mentioned it and I immediately set out to make it a reality, unable to resist. If you don’t already know, this chaotic disaster is the protagonist of Alexandra Rowland’s (@ariaste) upcoming fantasy comedy pirate novel Running Close to the Wind. It’s coming out in June and you should totally keep an eye out for it! You can read an excerpt of it below! I’ll be posting art of him and other characters from their other novel A Taste of Gold and Iron, which you should also read if you haven’t yet as it is absolutely fabulous.

Nothing Ever Lasts Forever
Song: Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears
part 1
I am back after months of indecision, exhaustion, and just general ennui. Things still aren't great but at least I am able to create something .
This tale begins as many did in Ilya’s life: on a ship. Or at least looking at one. He shifted from foot to foot as the line to board inched and stalled.
He supposed there had to be some poetry in it. Something about new beginnings out on the open water, going where the wind blows. Watching the moon crest over the horizon. The smell of salt that clung. Adventure! Hopefully one with less shipwrecks.
Hopefully.
A warm hand came to rest on his forearm.
“You know we can stay a little longer. There will be another ship next week.”
Ilya looked over to see his younger sister Pasha, worry lining her crystal blue eyes. It’s an expression she had worn like an old blanket for the past six months, an expression that did not suit her. An expression she wore for him exclusively it seemed. Ilya put on his best smile.
“Now now,” he said. “I cannot impose on our grandmas any longer. I am sure they have had enough of me these past few weeks. Besides, if I have another bowl of borscht I may turn into a beet.”
It was a weak excuse at best, even he could hear that. He knew without a shadow of a doubt that he could stay another week, another month, another year and the village bubbes would happily keep him. They would keep feeding him matzah until he became more matzah than man, bake him babka, sneak him some lobster if they were feeling particularly indulgent.
“We need to get some meat on those bones!” they would say as they have always said. However, as of late it was tinged with unease and concerned glances when they thought he wasn’t looking. A fear that if they take their eyes off of him, they will find him like Pasha did in his clinic; frail and weak on the floor, dying from the same illness he worked so hard to save his patients from.
It was best if he moved on.
“If you’re sure,” Pasha said. By the furrow of her brow Ilya could tell exactly how she felt about him leaving. Luckily she respected him enough to not push. Though it wasn’t as if she wasn’t itching to leave herself. Pasha’s hunger to see the world was insatiable. He could see it in the way she looked at the ship when she thought he wasn’t paying attention. According to the bubbes, Ilya and Pasha looked the most alike when faced with adventure. He couldn’t help but agree.
“I am positive. In any case, if we stick around another week we will miss the Sun Festival in Firent.”
He couldn't hide how his smile widened at his sister’s surprised squeak.
“The Sun Festival!” Pasha said. “I have been wanting to go for years! Are you sure we’ll make it?”
Ilya nodded. “If my almanac is correct, and it hasn’t steered me wrong yet, the solstice is in about two weeks. If the weather holds we should be there with more than enough time to spare.”
Pascha clapped her hands excitedly. Her eyes shone brighter than they had in months. “I have heard so much about their library! And their markets! Oh I heard the view of Nimbus Fork is just stunning. I am so thrilled I–”
Suddenly, there was a beat of hesitation.
“–I,um…”
He looked at his younger sister with concern, the sudden shift in mood unlike her. Pasha toyed with the end of her shawl.
“Are you sure you are up to it?” She asked quietly.
“Of course I’m sure!” Ilya replied. “My clinic handled half a year without me, it could handle a few more weeks.”
“No I don’t mean that. I mean–”
Her sigh seemed to come from somewhere deep.
“I mean are you sure it wouldn’t wear you out too much? I know you are so much better, but things have changed Ilyusha.”
The worry lining her eyes returned tenfold and he could feel his smile become brittle.
“I am sure Pasha,” Ilya said through almost gritted teeth.
“Listen, you don’t need to push yourself for my sake. We can always go another year–”
“I said I am sure.”
He faced forward and did his best not to clench his jaw too tightly. It’s because she cares, he reminded himself. She cares. He could feel it in his soul, in the way her eyes searched the side of his face. She cares.
(was this it then? A loop of would he? should he? could he? when did his little pashenka, who once toddled on beaches and made friends with every seal she met, become his keeper? when did he lose his function? was it when he coughed up blood into his handkerchief ? or was it when he felt a tickle in his throat that first week? or maybe it was the day he stepped foot in vesuvia. his life became patient, patient, funeral, patient, patient, minyan, patient, patient, no ma’am i’m sorry you cannot see him it is contagious!, patient patient funeral minyan funeral minyan. another loop. could he should he would he.)
The line inched forward.

More of Geraskier pirates or something -
“Who are you, anyways?”
His captain and captor peered at him under a too-big jeweled crown, lounging upon the day's hoard. The question was flat, but his eyes were curious. The moonlight reflected first from the water’s surface, then second off of the gold and jewels. It bounced around Jaskier in all directions, and he looked truly in that moment, and for the first time since Geralt had seen him, like he may not be entirely human after all.
“A sailor from Rivia. As I told you before.” Geralt hummed the response regarding the other from where he was still bound to the mast.
“Except you aren’t Rivian. Wrong accent.”
Jaskier stood, gold clinking with the movement, and within a few steps crouched down to eye level while displaying something in his hand with a small flourish.
“And these are letters of Marque, from your coat. Which, I’m guessing, makes you about the poorest bounty hunter of the era,” his eyes narrowed, with curiosity rather than malice, “you don’t even get the bounty.”
Yellow eyes leveled him cooly at the accusation, “Sailor.”
“Privateer,” Jaskier tucked the papers away once again, standing to full height. “And you’re not human either. So what in the devil are you?”
The man did not give an answer for a while, pondering something. Perhaps wondering if he should lie. Then, after a moment -
“Witcher.”
Immediately Jaskier scoffed a disbelieving laugh. “No,” a finger wag and disapproving chuckle, “witchers don’t exist.”
He was met only with a flat, blank, unwavering and…truthful stare. And silence. He stared at Geralt a moment in that silence before sputtering back to life with breathy denial.
“No, no - you are most certainly not going to sit there and look at me as though I’m the one being ridiculous here. Sure, you’re a Witcher, that should be simple enough considering the only standing Mythos - the mere MYTH of Witchers - is, what, 2000 years old??”
“So you do know your history.”
“Mythology,” the captain corrected as he ceased his pacing and looked, really looked at the strange man. A moment of thoughtful silence. Something wary, something fearful behind blue eyes. “Prove it.”
“Untie me.”
“Ah, so that's it then,” He was back to banter, “quite a flimsy escape plan I really must say I’ve heard better - HAH - silly Jaskier, almost falling for the ‘I’m a Witcher,’ play, oldest move in the book…” His little monologue teeters out as he falls back on his pile of gold.
“What am I going to do with you? The Not-Witcher from Not-Rivia…”

Rue and Hester, talking all things magic and piracy and friendship while they drink and gamble. Long time followers will know that I’m not a ✨backgrounds✨ kinda person, let alone a complex lighting multiple character sitting poses scene setting kinda person 🙃 but it was a labour of love. Favourite details include Rue’s drink, Julian’s wanted poster, the backs of the playing cards, and the candlelight on the window panes. Zoom in on Julian’s poster (below).

so ok in deep space nine they HEAVILY code the genetically enhanced people as neurodivergent (imo they all read quite clearly as autistic coded like, specifically, but most of them also seem to have other neurodivergency going on on top of that) and on one hand it kind of really sucks and is one of the biggest fuckups in the show in terms of like. representation. bc it’s sometimes played for some sort of shitty comedy and also plays into the autistic savant stereotype which nobody likes.
however also with that big “THIS KINDA SUCKS” disclaimer out of the way , there’s also some other things about how it’s handled that i want to also discuss bc they’re either interesting or actually good or just fucking weird and the combination of “this is good” and “this sucks” and “what the absolute hell were they even trying to do here” has resulted in me not being able to stop thinking about it.
first of all the number one thing that i think is actually really good about it is the very blatant and obvious “we need neurodivergent doctors for neurodivergent people” subtext that i’m not even sure it’s accurate to call subtext, it may just be text. NEVER have i seen that as a message in any show, the closest i have seen are shows where there’s a neurodivergent doctor but the reason the show considers that great is that the doctor in question can come up with novel ideas for helping neurotypical patients with unrelated issues. but it is really important - we do need neurodivergent doctors!!!! it makes a MASSIVE difference in pretty much the exact way depicted in the episode - neurodivergent doctors treat neurodivergent patients like people and engage with them on their own level and can relate to them and understand what they’re going through. star trek really said “maybe some of these patients who are ~difficult cases~ aren’t actually difficult cases and don’t need some kind of novel special procedure or whatever, they just need someone to fucking respect them for once.” and it extended that compassionate and humanizing perspective to neurodivergent people who had extremely visible and debilitating symptoms. brilliant incredible ahead of its time i just wish that it wasn’t weighed down by other Problems In The Episode. and since i figure i ought to throw in my two cents, i think this is a valuable enough message that it makes up for the flaws of the episode overall even though they are so glaring.
second of all the other thing i think is Actually Really Good about it is bashir being neurodivergent already before augmentation (they pretty much explicitly state he had some sort of learning disability) and how his parents’ attempt to “fix” him was NOT a good parenting move but instead, even though it DID make him fit in more with society and “fix” his symptoms, was a massive violation of his personhood that severely damaged his sense of self and pretty much destroyed his relationship with his parents. they weren’t evil or hateful parents - they really did want what was best for their son - but because of their ableism they couldn’t understand that what he really needed was to be accepted and respected for who he was, and to have his needs accommodated, not to be changed. neurodivergent kids get put through traumatizing and harmful “therapies” by parents who really do love them and would never intentionally harm them just like this all the time in real life. i really liked that his parents were dealt with sympathetically and it was made clear that they really did mean well, but despite that, he didn’t have to accept any justifications for what they’d done and his father ended up facing real consequences for it and accepting that it had been wrong.
this is a continuation of the bit about bashir being neurodivergent already, but i felt it needed a paragraph break - the other thing about the way being augmented by his parents in an attempt to stop him from being neurodivergent impacted bashir as a character that worked really well is that it DIDN’T stop him from being neurodivergent, it stopped him from outwardly appearing neurodivergent super obviously. it’s made very clear that even though he doesn’t have the same symptoms he had as a child, he’s still neurodivergent and instead of freeing him from any kind of burden, the treatments he was subjected to have condemned him to a life of masking forever. once again this is something that is the actual goal of many “therapies” for developmentally disabled people (fuck you aba), AND it’s something that a lot of neurodivergent people end up self-enforcing even if they’ve never been through these abusive therapies. bashir has to hide his neurodivergency to avoid making others uncomfortable and to protect his career, and it takes a clear and painful toll on his wellbeing even though it allows him to become a successful doctor. he makes it very clear he’d have rather lived his life without being forced into this box in the first place, even though now that he’s in the box he doesn’t want to get back out of it since being his authentic self now, after all the years of hiding, would put everything he has at risk. a lot of us do grapple with that and i don’t often see it portrayed at all.
now onto stuff i cannot slot neatly into “this is great” or “this sucks.”
on an actual serious level it is not good but i personally find it extremely hilarious, like as a concept, that in the sci-fi future of star trek, they invented a procedure to give your kid autism and then banned it because it makes your kid smarter and stronger than all the other kids and maybe he’ll take over the world. i’m drafting my world domination plan right now as we speak so watch out, i will destroy the government with my autism beam attack.
i have a lot of mixed feelings about lauren. on one hand, the way she’s written is often very flat and sometimes kind of creepy, and i wish she was dealt with with more nuance and depth. on the other hand, having a character who is not only disabled but institutionalized and nevertheless presenting her as beautiful, sexy, and capable of wanting and having romantic and sexual interactions is kind of nice in the face of the rampant desexualization experienced by disabled people.
the federation’s broad anti-augment stance is interesting in a show that generally presents the federation as being over most other types of discrimination. i think it’s intended to be up for audience interpretation whether the federation policies about augments are good or bad. personally, i think that it’s FLAGRANTLY bad - it isn’t the choice of a child whether to be augmented! it certainly makes sense for the procedure to be illegal considering both the risk of it being used for eugenics and the nature of it as a horribly violating procedure, but the consequences should not fall on the genetically enhanced person, but rather on whoever did that to them. i wish we’d seen more pushback against the federation’s policies and more examination of what they meant for augmented people.
the treason plotline being connected to all this was baffling to me. i am not necessarily against it on a principle level - “neurodivergent people will engage in high stakes treason and espionage in order to solve the world’s most fucked trolley problem” is so silly that it isn’t really a message i’m worried about - but i felt like it wasted the potential of the episode to go in plenty of other, more impactful directions. i would’ve much rather seen it end with the augments and the federation coming up with a better arrangement for their treatment and living situation - either to integrate into mainstream society or to find a way to improve the way they’re treated at the institution so that they are respected, listened to, and have their needs met better. ideally i would’ve really liked if we saw them all end up with different solutions, like maybe some of them would want to leave the institution and make a life for themselves outside it but others would want to stay, but with more autonomy and respect within the institution.
