Expanding the TWst universe a bit:

In this case my focus will be the Royal Sword Academy (R.A.S)

We know very little about this college, its history, dormitories and even the students belong there (with the exception of a few but still) so I decided to give free rein to my imagination and plug some of these holes.

(still under development, if you have any idea what to fill in here feel free to comment in my message box)

The opposite of Night Raven College (N.R.C) the RSA is a school for young prodigies whose sympathetic nature leads them to be chosen for the academy.

If NRC is a school that focuses on (idolizes) the 7 Disney villains (the big seven) then the RSA is a college focused on the 9 princesses of disney (the nine nobles), their dorms.

Each dorms is modeled after one of these:

Leader of the first RSA dorm, WindsFate: John Greystoke Dorm Leader Outfit!

It took a while to make it, but I'm very proud of the result although I can't choose which version is the best.

That's why I posted both, besides that I put some references, which I'm sure you can recognize.

Do you have a preference among these images?

I present RevealSelf Beauty and the Beast dorm.

The problem with trying to irrevocably tie what we create to who we are is that it then completely voids the freedom of being able to create things.

Fiction is not meant to be our reality. Its meant for all the things we can't do. For the things we shouldn't. For the things we want to do but will never get the chance to. Fiction is for being more than our reality.

What is the point in fiction if you want it to be intrinsically bound to who we are? To what we believe in? To what we dictate we must obey?

How much of our own history would we lose if your demand that we must only create what is sound and 'right' comes to fruit? What lessons will we fail to learn in the future because the fiction that taught them to us in the past no longer exists?

Those who huddle in a barren shelter will starve but those who venture forth might find a bounty.

I guess the secret’s out Above me looking down It’s not supposed to be that way Out of control ☄️

Me, phone off, stylus put away, no notebook or pencils in sight: "man, I can't wait to draw my characters for the stories I'm writing!"

Me, stylus in hand on ibis paint: "ah yes, what a horrific abomination I've created today."

Me, listening to music, Google docs closed: "man, I've got so many cool ideas for some books."

Me, Google doc open on the screen, my fingers hovering over the keyboard: "this shit has so many plot holes that just reading it is a tripping hazard."

me: *makes thing*

me: I hope people like this thing

people: Wow your thing is really great!

me: No, you're wrong, it's terrible, I'm awful at this

i had plenty of toys as a kid but today i find myself reminiscing on the ones i didn't have, that i only got to play with once or twice at friends' houses. like those marble tubes i was always jealous of because they reminded me of super monkey ball

usually when i had my eyes on a toy like that, it was because i wanted to use it in some greater design. my brother and i would often fill the entire room with huge contraptions, racetracks, or games made of multiple different sets of toys! we were definitely tinkerers, hehe ✨

at my grandparents' place up north – which i've only visited maybe three times total? – they had a set of hand-painted wooden blocks, the type with ramps and arches and stuff. i remember making 3d mario levels out of those blocks, even as far back as when i was nine years old!

just now, as i realized how much i missed those blocks, something in the back of my head said "what's stopping you from getting your own set?"

and honestly, not only is there nothing stopping me… i could totally still use those for the same purpose!

a lot of 3d modeling tools are really intimidating to me right now, and i could use something easy to sketch some ideas out if inspiration strikes, or just to practice creating in that way. some basic wooden blocks would be perfect for that~

i could also use my (frankly ginormous) collection of legos for a similar purpose, but i don't think it's quite the same… with legos i'm often tempted to hyperfocus on perfecting the details of my creation. they're a great tool for engineering, but too focused for level design.

part of me wants to say "then just don't be a perfectionist; block out the detailed parts and come back to them later." but i have adhd, and my hyperfocus often kicks in without notice.

meanwhile, wooden blocks force me to look at the bigger picture; they force me to sketch.

really what i'm learning from writing this out is that i need more physical props and toys to mess around with in general. they're great tools for spontaneous creation!

Ooooooold repost. Was gonna do another video but I have to figure out how to put sound with it. Here is a piece I did with my good friend. Natalia! It was 92 degrees in the studio because we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the A/C. #makememoveinmay #contemporarydance #duet #partnering #creating #yearsago #windowblues https://www.instagram.com/p/BxYR-DGhtWc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9akn96g9r94s

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All, Today's trio of spiritual wisdom channeled Angelic statements via clairvoyant automatic writing are on the topics of Humor, Creating, and Investments. That first sentence was a mouth full. These are in the "Jewels of Truth" series of #1,125-1,127 of a distant Volume 4 from a working manuscript. Instead of waiting for the book my angels urge me to share them in dribs and drabs over these many months to years until the publication occurs. These spiritual wisdom statements are not unlike the other series count as my latest penned by longhand in the 2,300 plus numbers. Which you'll see here at "Atrayo's Oracle" shared one at a time throughout any given month. With that in mind if you see me mention the word "God(dess)" I always mean the male and feminine divine aspects of our Creator God simultaneously. I always channel with the Angels in an open inclusive stance and often automatically write in circular loops to emphasize the meaning of each topic. I have been doing this for the past 21 years time as a dharmic spiritual joy on my part to literally convey the Good News of heaven in us all collectively. However, I have only publicly have been sharing these holy missives online for the past 11 years time on my main blog site (ie Google's Blogpsot) and auxiliary cross fed blog sites. (ie Tumbler, Temple Illuminatus, LinkedIn, and most recently Niume) May you come away with additional insights hopefully expanding your inventory of ideas when it comes to one's Holy Spirit within. Whether you may concur or not, thank you for reading. Namaste. Humor: 1125) Laughter is a grace when the joke is wholesome and sound to our senses of astute understanding. Although humor can also be crass and crude of its depictions of life, no matter how true it may be shared. When we laugh we also release the good medicine for the body, mind, and spirit within our humanity. An elixir of foolishness that only life can present to us in a manner that is unreal to the senses. The meaning and context to any humor is key to its genuine success. Otherwise, the intent of the comedy of life is lost and falls flat upon its face. The mirth of life is essential for a well-rounded form of expressive sanity otherwise, if we fail to laugh at the world, at others, and especially at ourselves collectively. Then we shall lose a precious aspect of a well-meaning and well warranted just life earnestly. All laughter redeems us as a form of humility upon the world. We can see the absurd and to a point become part of it for just a moment empathetically. We can unleash the merriment as part of our whole selves and in due course, in truth we are equally the fool. Life is a circular joke, and often we are the laughter that can be heard for an eternity through the joy of God in all of us. Amen.                                                              ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Creating:

1126) Those who create something of value out of nothing are exceptional souls under the cherished eyes of God(dess) in us. The act of creation is both enlightening and at times all-consuming by the sheer focus needed in order to create. It is an intimate act needing both skill, patience, and a deep-rooted passion from the co-creators. Passion or an unconditional love is necessary in order to create an item that is both truly lasting and satisfactory. Creativity and Imagination led by an inherent nobility are paramount for the robust genius within to become self-evident and manifested in one's surrounding.

Thus change is a welcomed friend of the creative person. Not so much a change for its own sake, but a change that catapults the continuity of the artist within to be revealed in due time in all his or her own glory. Creation is a sacred act of the beloved Master Creator God within the personal fiber and essence of our soulful being.

When we create we give life in every possible facet. Just like God(dess) is the source of all macro life upon Creation ad infinitum . So as the Supreme fountain head of life with his or her own Majesty of the Almighty is in each of the artistic works of his/her own divine children. God does breathe upon us a perfect essence of both splendor and a refreshing outlook of the possible and the impossible in unison. When we create with others as cherished people the very act becomes a multiplied force of wonder come alive.

The artist, engineer, and scientist may enchant their works knowingly by their vocational passion or unknowingly by their angst of a sought after testimony of precision. Quality as a crafts or trade person is like a beauty that is in the eye and hand of the earnest beholder. How we all enjoy the creative talent of a person’s work is our praise back to them from the sublime to the Implied. Amen.                                                                           ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Investments:

1127) Be wary of handing over your prized possessions or financial income to a charismatic fool. For it is a dangerous gamble much like jumping off a cliff than to sincerely hand over your good fortune to an idiot. The idiot isn’t responsible for your economic livelihood that is up to you fully. You are the sole beneficiary to suss out if such and such a person is genuinely an expert practitioner in their field or a wannabe as a hazard to trust their good intentions alone. Always be wise with your due diligence by investigating from credible sources what is fact with upfront costs and what are the risks involved. Caution is fine, but lack of courage spells hardly a return to one's investments of any kind. Discipline and action following one's strategy spelling the difference between the ill-prepared and the focused investor. Be wary of taking financial tips from well- wishers often they are parroting a rumor that a shrewd salesperson started elsewhere.

Walk away when the deal sounds too good to be true for often there is a swindle that is about to snare you. Often the road to riches is paved with blood, sweat, and tears from failed enterprises. There is luck but that usually only favors the well enough prepared in their continued pursuits. To save save one’s earned income is wiser than to make a fortune and spend it all at once. Never put all your investments in an isolated basket where it’s prone to loss always instead diversify. For what can take over a decade to build up can be dashed in a few short hours if one is pigeon holed all to one narrow spot. Be not the fool when you are in over your head be humble to seek out advice from trusted reputable sources or the pain will be unbearable when it was certainly avoidable.                                                                                                                     ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Find the thing that stirs your heart and make room for it. Life is about the development of self to the point of unbridled joy.                                                                                                                               ---Joan Chittister. I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions.                                                                                                                  ---Zora Neale Hurston. I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.                                                                     ---Maya Angelou. So many things are possible as long as you don't know they are impossible.                                                                                           ---Mildred D. Taylor. Where there is great love there are always miracles.      ---Willa Cather.

[shakes you a little by the collar] the divine is in the details. do you understand? how much better would life be if we revered the simple, the material; just being and doing and making, with our own two hands. enlightenment - it’s here. it’s here! in the church of ordinary things. try making a daisy chain at sunrise or showering in the dark, and tell me that’s not holy. religion isn’t on a pulpit, up in the sky, in the next life. it’s now. it’s you, my dear, and all the tiny, mundane things you create and share and break and put back together again.

[grabs your shirt] listen. listen to me. the practical is holy. the everyday is sacred. the simple act of surviving is divine. do you get it? sanctity begins at home, in the hands that build and the lives we live and the deaths we die and the worms that eat our bodies. if making something by hand is not worthy of veneration then nothing is.
