TOUR OF THE BORDERLAND

Introduction to the borderland

The borderland is the region where the Three Lands touch each other: Emor in the north, Koretia in the south, and Daxis in the southwest. Borderlanders are the people who live in the Emorian borderland, Koretian borderland, and Daxion borderland. Most borderlanders, though not all, are of mixed blood.

This is a phrase that sometimes confuses foreigners. The phrase does not refer to the mixing of blood that takes place during Koretian vow-making. Rather, "mixed blood" refers to land heritage. A person of mixed blood is descended from people of at least two different lands. In practice, as we shall see, all peninsulareans are of mixed blood, so this phrase actually refers to more recent blood-mixing.

Northern mainlanders who live in nations where skin color is accounted of great importance sometimes ask whether people of mixed blood can be identified by their skin color. The answer is a cautious maybe. If a dark-skinned Emorian – whose ancestors were born in the south, rather than the north – marries a dark-skinned Koretian, then the result, not surprisingly, is usually a dark-skinned child. Likewise, if a light-skinned Koretian marries a light-skinned Emorian, a light-skinned child is usually born. If a child has light brown skin, it might have a dark-skinned Koretian parent and a light-skinned Emorian parent. On the other hand, it might have a light-skinned Koretian parent and a dark-skinned Emorian parent. Or it may be that the color of its skin is determined, not by its parents, but by one of its four grandparents. Or – I cite myself as an example – a Koretian may have lighter skin than most other Koretians because he has spent many years living in the north, where there is less sunlight.

In short, don't make any assumptions about skin color and land heritage. If you want to know what land a peninsularean belongs to, it is best to ask.

The native tongue of most borderlanders is the ancient language called Border Koretian – though that language might just as easily have been called Border Daxion or Border Emorian, for Border Koretian is related to all three of the main peninsularean tongues. Border Koretian is a different language than the Common Koretian spoken by most Koretians. It is now used as a trade language in the Great Peninsula. If you plan to visit the borderland, it would be well worth your effort to learn Border Koretian, as that language will enable you to be understood by traders and most noblemen throughout the Great Peninsula. Speaking the language in the borderland, however badly, is an easy way to make yourself welcome.


[Translator's note: A good introduction to life in the borderland can be found in Law Links.]

As long as fandoms use HIS poetry and not his brother's poetry, I'd say Murder Keats would be happy.

I'm imagining this like Truth Coming Out of Her Well to Shame Mankind... but instead of holding a whip and screaming, she's holding a tablet with AO3 open and going 🤨

Watching GoT in real time was very much like Homer watching his stolen barbecue pig go through travails: “It’s just a little wet, it’s still good, it’s still good! It’s just a little airborne, it’s still good, it’s still good!”

-- I forgot the Simpsons existed and was like “Shit, should I have taken Classics in Year Nine? Does this happen in the Iliad or something?”

ecto_one_spengler: (egon past icon)
[personal profile] ecto_one_spengler posting in [community profile] fandomweekly
Theme Prompt: #143 - nightmare (Amnesty 28)
Title: to finally find it (resurrections, track A)
Fandom: The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) - an AU in which Bowser is in the heroic role and the Mario Bros. are not, by way of a childhood swapping.
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 (because of Bowser's potty mouth) + hesitant warning for Mario Movie Spoilers I Guess 
Word Count: 934 words
Author's Note: Sorry Bowser, for the nightmare traumas. It's not exactly a companion piece to reminders, not what I intended lol, but ... the new Mario Movie trailer reminded me "oh maybe I should actually practice writing this guy full of the insecurities my main Bowser ignored", lol. 
(The Slay the Princess inspiration for this one + fun little note as to what Bowser actually tried to play later on in the drabble.)

Summary: Bowser Rigassi is used to nightmares, that comes with the territory of being a freak of nature without anything of a past but his first name. But the nightmare he has this time is unusually hard-hitting..

ecto_one_spengler: (holmes and iris)
[personal profile] ecto_one_spengler posting in [community profile] fandomweekly
Theme Prompt: #014 - Time of Need (Amnesty 28)
Title: the princess and the dragon
Fandom: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (ft. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
Rating/Warnings: PG-13 (mmmmmostly because of injuries and Bowser's potty mouth)
Word Count: 995 words
Author's Note: I wrote most of this while listening to House M.D. lmao, I continue to appreciate that they slipped in what're considered childish stuff like House reading comics or referencing Pokemon or playing on a PSP he receives as a gift in one episode. It's unusually endearing to me haha. 
Anyways this is another continuation, this time to "a dance unfinished"
 
(sidenote for some reason the ending fought with me, sowwy if it feels off)
PATCH NOTES: Alas, once again I have fucked up and posted minus the title as well as screwing up something in the fandom bits. Again. Sorry!

Summary: Fawful wakes up in a corrected timeline of sorts - his adventure in the future caught the attention of Peach and Bowser, both of whom end up discovering him in Peach's Castle.

After Fawful's trip through time.. )


Yuletide 2025 Beta Readers

It is time once again to organize beta readers for Yuletide! Beta readers can check your fic for style, language issues, canon compliance, specialized knowledge of various kinds, and making sure the whole thing makes sense. Being a beta reader yourself is a fun way to contribute to Yuletide--even if you're not writing a story!

If you're interested in beta reading somebody else's story, fill out the form HERE It will ask about what fandoms you are willing to beta for, as well as other kinds of expertise you're willing to offer. Note that you will need to enter an email address, which will be visible to other users, but we will hide this information after Yuletide 2025 is over. After you've filled out the form, you'll get an email containing your responses and a link you can use to edit your answers.

If you need a beta, check the spreadsheet HERE. All responses will be visible in the tab "Form Responses." We’ll be copy-pasting information from there into the other tabs as we’re able to make them easier to find. Find someone offering the kind of help you need (make sure it's not your recipient!) and contact them directly. If no one is offering what you need, you can also comment anonymously on this post to see if someone can help, or you can sign onto the Yuletide Discord and contact a hippo.

If you’re asking for a beta, it can often be helpful to be clear about what types of feedback would be helpful to you. Examples could be that you’re looking for thoughts on characterization and story structure; or you'd particularly like feedback on whether your story successfully avoids topics your recipient doesn't want; or maybe you specify that you would like a check of spelling, punctuation, and grammar (SPAG) but are specifically not interested in feedback on wording choices.

It’s also courteous to ask your beta reader if they would like to be credited when you post your fic, and if so, how. Some people appreciate public thanks in an author’s note, while others may prefer not to be named.

If you have any questions, comment on this post or email the mods at yuletideadmin@gmail.com. (The beta post is an unofficial aspect of Yuletide. Mods had time to put it up this year, but we don’t mean to take it over, so we hope a non-mod participant can put it up in 2026.)

Whether you're volunteering as a beta, or considering future coordination, we appreciate you a lot! Thank you for helping out.

Also please feel free to share any tips you may have about what makes a good beta experience (either as a beta or when seeking a beta's help).

Summary:

After watching Narumi play Coffee Talk, Naoya is inspired to open a café that specifically caters to an evening crowd. In order to get an idea of what's out there, he invites Narumi to visit various cafés with him to better understand the coffee scene outside of the [off-brand Starbucks] chain in which he's currently employed. (Narumi... maaaayyyyy use this as an excuse to take him to various collab cafés and get more of the collectable goods, but hey! They're still technically cafés, right?) Oh, and also, Naoya is planning on proposing to Kou after beating her at a video game, despite being the worst gamer ever. Which means Narumi needs to find a way to help him out. Too bad that Hirotaka's clearly not working on the same excuse.

Expect a lot of café culture, tons of nerdiness, and the occasional burst of romance and introspection as Narumi helps her future little brother in law make his dreams come true.

I feel a bit embarrassed to mention this balcony, because it's named after me.

However, it is a perennially favorite visiting spot for Emorian visitors. You may see it, at a distance, as you are leaving the palace grounds; it is the balcony festooned with the Emorian royal colors.

It was here, in 976, that the Chara of Emor resided during the final days of the Emorian occupation. (I often visited his chamber during his stay - hence the name of the balcony.) It appeared at that time that the Koretians and Emorians would engage in bitter warfare with each other over Emor's lengthy occupation of Koretia. Instead, through the combined wisdom of the Jackal and the Chara, the Koretians and Emorians were able to reach a peace settlement. Since that time, this chamber has served as the residence for any visiting ambassadors from Emor.

On that peaceful note, we will leave behind the capital of Koretia.


[Translator's note: Once again, the Ambassador demonstrates his modesty, this time by failing to mention his own role in the peace settlement between Emor and Koretia. The full details are conveyed in Blood Vow. A somewhat different perspective on the peace settlement occurs in Law of Vengeance.]
