Articles: Homage to the Gods and Demigods |
Posted by
Rogue on Friday, March 30, 2007 - 12:56 PM PST
Watering the garden time has come again with the spring that is descending upon most of the Northern Hemisphere.
We are blessed with an abnormally strong group of core members and an increasing base of strong members who will no doubt become core one day. It would be remiss on all of our parts were if we were to fail to water this fertile garden from time to time.
In no particular order:
Devin. Unseen and powerful as most other gods, he gave birth to this place so long ago and has guided its existence since that time. He has a surreal insight into motivations and relations, and chances are that if you have the hots for someone, he knew about it a month before you did. His presence is as evanescent as ether on a summer's day, yet undeniable as the humidity on Rue Bourbon.
Callei. Where do I start? She is the heart of the site, and more, the community that has grown up around the site. Just as you forget to hear your own heartbeat, many have missed her influence, but she is still there.
Meranda. When voices get raised, she is the stern voice of reason. When emotions get bruised, she is the soft bandage. Always present, not always understood, she is the mother to the orphans of this place.
Schizo. Mother Confessor to us all, her pure spirit and endless forgiveness will bring anyone back to the fold regardless of their transgressions. This is both her blessing and her curse. Loving and forgiving to a fault, a martyr for a cause which is all but hopeless in this cynical world.
Feral. The truth-speaker. From him, there is no question, you get the truth as he sees it with no varnish and knotholes included at no extra cost. Rough around the edges and soft at the heart, he will scare you off or draw you in but nothing in between.
Dolorosa. The Trickster. Ever playful, ever chaotic. Never doubt his soul, but doubt everything else as he loves a good joke at any expense.
Squid. Arch-nemesis of Dolo, and emissary to the great Abyss of the unseen ocean floors. He sets the alarm clocks in R'Lyeh and knows the combination to Davey Jones' locker. If you're ever at BM, look him up.
Monolycus. Never there was a man that lived up to his name so well as did the Lone Wolf. Demonised, hated, revered for taking the unpopular position and for playing the devil's advocate when the part needed playing. If you bother to dig beneath his crusty exterior, well, there is a spiky and unforgiving interior, but beneath THAT beats a heart of gold. Few have the patience for gold mining.
ComteStGermain. Asshole, 250 years old or not.
Now, I've left out more than a few members who are key to the continued success of this community. I invite and challenge you all to add to what I have said above and to mention other members ( I have a list, I expect to see them all ) in the comments section. I also expect to see one comment per article view, so speak up and don't disappoint!

Excellent, excellent... good to see the watering going on...
I would like to add some...
Domkitten. Wanton wench, sensualist, and artist with word and paint... a wildfire that can warm or scorch as the occasion permits. She is one of the most vital people I have ever come across... she has the gift of experiencing things to the hilt.
Arthegarn. An old-school idealist with the sort of sense of chivalry that just doesn't fit into todays society. He has been the proverbial nice guy who gets his heart thoroughly trampled on. However, he is intelligent enough to learn from things (eventually!), and to adjust his idealism to reality when necessary. He has a razor-sharp mind, a heart of gold, and a history of a tragic lack of self-confidence.
and of course...
Rogue. The impish rake... always ready to play the fool, but with one eye to leer at th pretty ladies... he has a knight-in-shining-armor complex, and delights in spoiling everyone but himself. He often steps in as peacemaker between his friends, but he has a ruthless side, which few here will ever need to encounter.
kisses... kisses to you all!

I was just reading some older stuff on the site, and realizing afresh how deeply I miss people like Devin, Callei, Bettie X, VampCourt, Mono, Shade, Arthegarn, and others of their ilk... I miss 'em so much it hurts. It's just not the same without them.

I would be there for you about the exciting world of "single mother with allergies" and "things to do with your 2 hours of peace and quiet each week".
Know I care and you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday hon. |

I went through a silent period for a while last year, where I had so little to say I really didn't even log on much anymore. It had to do with coming to terms with changes in who I was, and the impact that would have on my life and the lives of those around me. I was trying to avoid the truth, for fear of hurting others. And of course, since I was not being very truthful to myself, that left me with little to add to a place like this.
Sometimes we go through periods in our lives where day-to-day living takes up all we have. If we had a face-to-face friendship, we could just order chinese and rent a movie and just hang out, and it wouldn't matter that there wasn't much to say. It's harder when the net is the only way you have to hang out, and words are your only medium for communicating friendship.
We are all quite aware that you are going through a dry time... we all send our deepest love to you. You are who you are, no matter if you have anything to write or not. Of course we miss you, but it's all right.
It seems like a lot of us have been going through dry times simultaneously, which makes it seem like Shmeng is dying. I don't think it is. I think it is just sleeping. As long as we still hold each other in our hearts (I know, I know, damn sappy, but sometimes the truth sounds sappy) then I have no fears for the health of this site. And I know I hold you in my heart. *kisses* |

I think a "hat's off" to ol' Bill Gates is also in order. No, not the guy with all the money, the one with more balls than brains that acted and the manure to make Schiz blossom into the beautiful rose that she has become.
And what about all the wonderful webcamwhores we have had? eye candy is nice.
and being who I am, I'd like to add a little lovin for Shade; the man, the myth, the guy that wrote toy dolls and is actually editing it so that it makes sense. and might even be going out to the publishers soon.

*does an imitation of a blushing rose*
yeah, there's nothing like someone pissing me off to make me overcome my shyness - if it weren't for that paragon of trolls, I never would have dared to show my face. And look at me now! I think I do Shmeng proud!
And I am such a webcamwhore now... *giggles*
And yes, yes, yes - many lovings for Shade.
And Bill Gates might have been the manure, but the rest of you acted like expert gardeners to prepare me for full flower. *kisses to all* |
