Tags: changelings, forums, message boards, you get the premise it’s essentially mothering dot com but with changelings
Eggshell!!1! You thimble idiots are idiots. Or maybe you are not really committed to TTC?
Don’t teach your grandspirit to broo eels, youngling.
Everyone knows eggshells should be saved for sailing across the Atlantic to pick up herbs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Sherwood
Joking aside, I am so furious on behalf of all the wise women with herbal skills who were marginalized, persecuted, and killed. I am glad to see that she survived her ordeal and that she was given a memorial. As a society, we should remember that injustice.
Joking recommenced (but only half joking): Psh, I carry my herbs in a sow’s ear purse.
100% agreed. I’ve only just now heard of Mary Webster from the Lore podcast, and I was sick to my stomach through the whole thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Webster_(alleg…
I learned of Grace Sherwood from my printmaking professor, who has recently become obsessed with her story & has done a whole body of work based on her. So…idk if having a legacy of inspiring beautiful work really makes up for the injustices these women faced, but it might be worth something.
Lore podcast: these look amazing! Thank you for introducing me.
Stop with your eggshell privilege. Some women can’t afford eggshells, you know.
Oh, and I suppose just everyone has a thimble lying around?
You can use an acorn cap in a pinch!
I mean … as long as it’s an organic oak, right, sistren?
I am not ready to start a family yet, but when I am and the fae exchange my human baby for a creepy one made of rocks, I am so thankful that Mallory has provided me with all this helpful information!!
Changeling already screaming through the night, eating ram’s heart at six weeks
You just know that this MOSC is the type that never stops bragging about her special bloody snowflake.
hahahaha Katie Crackernuts!
Lining Door With Salt And Iron, Baby Keeps Getting In
Substitute Baby with Toddler, and it me. How many sacrifices must I make to Hecate before this sleeping transition thing ends?
Anyway, if your dogs won’t bark it’s probably Nicnevin. You can’t get dogs to stop baying when the Wild Hunt comes, and if you don’t put mistletoe sprigs around your doors and windows, they’ll try to run out and join it.
gonna go ahead and guess that all of these posts were tagged [UNSEELIE]
Is there such a thing as a seelie changeling, though?
According to the Changeling: The Dreaming RPG that I have just learned about while trying to answer this question… yes.

God, some people just don’t care what they do and how it might affect their changeling. My mother certainly never went gallivanting off that early without my say so. I made sure of that.

C is for Changeling, that’s unheimlich enough for me.
Man, you know you’re in trouble when that EBM starts to play… ugh, Mondays, am I right?
Pretty sure Tam Lin is only dangerous to maidens who wear gold in their hair.. ask me how i know LOL 😉
relatedly HELP my baby is a shapeshifter
You need to put on your BGP, because lots of people here are friends with fairJanet and support her in EVERYTHING. No need to rub it in.
Ughh Janet. I swear she thinks she’s the only mortal ever to come or go by Carterhaugh, which, SPOILER, she’s NOT
Her father gave it to her, and she knows all the herbs. The ones to call Tam Lin and the ones to call him a second time when he’s already plucked the gold from your hair. Sad that you don’t, honey. Sad that your daddy can’t force any of his knights to marry you. Sad that you got knocked up two months after the tithe to hell and so there’s nooooo reason for Tammy to let you tackle him off his snow-white steed, kwim.
Lol we all know those herbs
If you know those herbs, why do you even HAVE a baby? I can’t help you if you won’t help yourself.
**“~* I wash my hands *~~“*
OH THOSE HERBS ;D
Also I feel like if you slept with Tam Lin, Fair Janet would be like this:

This song is perfect.
breaking character to say: <3 Loretta Lynn and that is a great song.
IT IS.
Also your character is AMAZINGLY ON POINT.
Why I Won’t Vaccinate My Changelings: Their Natural Immune Systems Will Fight Off the Devil Eventually Probably and Besides it’s Better than Autism
I Tried to Vaccinate My Changeling, But Then He Glared at the Doctor With His Glowing Red Eyes and the Doctor’s Hands Suddenly Dropped Off
Thimerosal is like salt and silver, but for your blood! That first round of vaccinations is like a +1 to the efficacy of christening.
House now haunted by the specter of a black cat with glowing eyes. What vacuum is best for ectoplasmic fur?
You have to use a BrOOm.
The Tithe To Hell And When To Pay It
Traditional: Hallowe’en
Alternate: The First of May
Quarterly Estimated Tithe: Equinox and Solstices
Safe to ride with Tim Lin through Carterhaugh in first trimester?
Riding with Tam Lin is safe in early pregnancy, especially when newly green with morning sickness, so long as herbs that grow grey are avoided. Riding with Tam Lin in later pregnancy carries a significantly increased risk of baring your child the next day, and is contra-indicated unless at least eight months have come and gone.
It’s the first of May, first of May
Tithe to hell is due today
So bring your favorite lady, or at least your favorite lay.
Damnation’s not cold baby, dip in your big toe

I love you, and I love the Internet that brought you all to my work desk
Did anyone else read this book as a kid and really really want to be a Changeling?
Yup and yuuuuuup!
Absolutely.
I read that book as a child and realized I WAS a changeling. Complete with allergy to iron.
I love Mallory’s changeling posts!
I want to be an EBM DJ.
If only my mom had had some of this advice.

Weaning from blood at age TWO, really? I’m sorry but I think that moms who want to wean their changelings from blood before age four at the earliest haven’t really committed to putting their changeling’s needs before their own. Just my opinion.
