Wielding a Shield of Joyspite

Mad-merry Monday, mortals! Despite my recent travails & disasters, this morning I find my sails billowed. My resolve refilled, my endurance renewed—for I wield the Shield of JOYSPITE.

I have before extolled the virtues of Spite—how it provides fuel, when Hope fades—but its puissance doubles when combined with Joy. With a Joyspite Shield, hunting down horrors, fending off villains, they become a bit easier, regardless of the burdens ye may carry.

For example—this week, I am enspiteful of the collapse of Alex Jones’ InfoWars empire. He finds himself standing beneath its falling flagstones, & none could deserve it more—O, WHAT POTENT SPITE!. But, too, I am joyful at the prospect of returning to the Idyllwild mountain for another faire! Welded alchemically together, this Joyspite Shield shall see me through another week on this miserable mortal plane.

How about thou? What Joyspite wield ye this week? I would love to hear of it!

Thank ye for reading, mortals! & thank ye to all who support our works here with coin!

I shall write ye Wednesday with ren faire advice—’til then, be safe, be well, & be mad-merry while ye may…

Cheers,
