[Opinions] Re: Themistoclea
in reply to a message by Wordsmith
It's pretty fun. I think the mistoc part reminds me of mystic. The meaning is a little off-putting to me.
Themistoclea Armande is the combo that vibes best imv.
I feel like I want to emphasize the S and/or its OTT qualities
Themistoclea Syntyche
Themistoclea Symphorosa
Themistoclea Sosipatra
Themistoclea Stamatina
Themistoclea Sarala
Themistoclea Salima
Themistoclea Sharmila
Themistoclea Soheila
Themistoclea Shamira
Themistoclea Solaris
Themistoclea Naheed
Themistoclea Deborah
Themistoclea Durga
Themistoclea Sostrate
Themistoclea Siranush
Themistoclea Selvaggia
Themistoclea Spomenka
Themistoclea Shekinah
Themistoclea Sixtine
Themistoclea Sopheap
Themistoclea Severine
Themistoclea Shannon
Themistoclea Priscilla
Themistoclea Drusilla
Themistoclea Shivali
Themistoclea Shiphrah
Themistoclea Syncletica
Themistoclea Shreya
Themistoclea Sigrid
Themistoclea Skuld
Themistoclea Adamantine
Themistoclea Meliora
Themistoclea Lara
Themistoclea Estefania
Themistoclea Cristofania :)
I feel like my taste is not the greatest right now, though: Themistoclea Sopheap is my favorite of those, and I'm liking the idea of Selvaggia Skuld a lot.

Idk, Law and Glory do not seem aesthetically compatible concepts to me. They're so ugly together. Unyielding and glaring. Self-righteous, on average.
Laws are necessary evils. I do like having them but not when they're glorified.
I guess the most charitable way I could think of it is 'splendidness of proper proportions and natural forces'...which still seems a little priggish.
Or 'equality and order as a manifestation of the divine' doesn't seem too bad, but I don't think that'd be an honest rendering of custom and law, as concepts IRL.
I don't hate it. I mostly just feel suspicious of it. Maybe because I'm left-handed, who knows.

Oh! To me natural law is the only way existence is able to manifest and do anything. Cles of themis is glory in the things about the world that make creation and some sense of predictability possible. It's a celebration of being here! But I am cap moon
hm, well maybe as a pisces moon, I would rather nurture chaos than celebrate order.
These are exquisite! I think my favorites are Themistoclea Sosipatra (wow, Sosipatra!) and Themistoclea Sostrate.
I love Sosipatra. I haven't thought of it in a while.
