Testing...



Thank you, rose_lemberg !  I'm going to have to track down a copy of song that I can get legally, because I need a copy on all my music devices.

The rest has nothing to do with the song, just that I am listening to it on constant rotation with the occasional switch off to "Suspended in Gaffa"

I should post that one, too.



Arkansas Crow, the Broken-necked God from the land of demons, is also the patron of metalwork, pottery, cooking, baking and mechanics.  Anything that centers on metal and fire.  The Broken-necked God's art form is dance, hir death is the untimely.

All the Gods in hir pantheon are tricksters, all of them can and continually do transition between genders, sexes and sexualities.
Throat-Cut-Swallow is one of them.  I know nothing else about hir.

Selj is another.  In Savale where the Sunflowers grow, ze is mistakenly referred to as female.

There are Twins; they are tutelary, herald and psychopomp, constantly in flux, but that is all they share - each is anything the other is not.  That is not to say they are opposites, only that they are never the same as one another in any other way.

Of them, only the Hare, who was always something of an outsider among outsiders maintains a habitual sex and gender.  She believes that human beings are a design she can improve upon.  And she does.  Which is why the rest of them imprisoned her in a labyrinth of thorns, terrible locust trees and ilexes with leaves that taper to a single molecule in thickness along the edge.

They might be strong AIs in charge of terraforming a distant world that traveled far enough and long enough that the atomic half-lives of their physical components has become an issue.  Needless to say, they are properly eccentric deities, even if they were made by human hands.

There are more.  They lived in a palace with big, golden doors.  I think many, if not most of them who aren't mentioned are dead.  Including Throat-Cut-Swallow.

None of them have much of anything to do with pokeberries.

That I know of.
