Welcome! My friends, enemies, and everyone in between, to

the City of Cidaris

Oh it is good to be home. The sea air always fills my lungs with possibilities.

It was my honour to announce that his grand majesty, my patron King Ethain, is hosting a banquet at the end of this week. (Not for me, of course, that would be crass.)

Please come and enjoy wine and song, dancing and feasting as we give thanks to our late Princess Sha who sacrificed herself to the kraken that sought to destroy our city.

Quarters have been set aside for those coming from outside the city, and I do hope all my friends and acquaintances will have time to join me here.

#I am excited beyond measure #and that I am in such good company gives me hope #maybe the shadow will leave me be #I have childrens' work to grade and lives to live #and miles to go before I sleep #no that's not how it goes

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

BY ROBERT FROST

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

I dont remember and Miles to Go before you Sleep RIP

LOL it's ok I kinda dropped the snippet in the middle of the night for you or something. Here's more of what I've got under the cut.

WIP grab bag

He didn't remember the beginning, exactly, but he remembered close enough. He remembered the feeling of unraveling, floating; remembered a certain detached peace.

Then: Purpose. He was spooled back together. He was given a form, a name, a mission. He was wrapped gently in a crepe paper nest, and then

"Jarek, sweet child, I have a gift for you." The box was unwrapped, the paper crinkled, and a child no older than four picked him up and squeezed him tight, threatening to burst his seams. "From Papa and Mama. What will you name him?"

sometimes I'll be happily thinking about arthur lester and then I remember he's a cannibal and I just have to take a moment of silence

#not too mourn but to comprehend #like wow i love this guy so much . he's so fucked up i just want to shake him repeatedly #swear that man is holding himself together by sheer will power and a poem #miles to go before i sleep....yeah buddy you have no idea. eldritch horrors favourite mortal to fuck with over here #malevolent #arthur lester

Bashir: Miles, we've been drinking in my quarters for five hours now. Don't you think it's time to call it a night?

O'Brien: Come on, Julian, just one more. Maybe we could go play darts at Quark's...

Bashir: You can, but I'm exhausted. Did I not tell you how long I was in surgery? For six-

O'Brien: Six hours, yes, limbs everywhere, I heard you. And I kept the station's life support system from going offline for seven. Just a normal day at the office.

Bashir: And I'm tired. Go bother Keiko.

O'Brien: She's having a girls' night.

Bashir: Well, go have a girls' night with her. I'm going to bed.

O'Brien: But can we just -- as Yeats once said --

Bashir: No Yeats. We're doing a Robert Frost.

O'Brien: A Robert Frost?

Bashir: Yes. Miles TO GO before I SLEEP.

Miles to Go Before I Sleep--a Scarf Exclusive 🌺💙🧣

A ✨minor miracle✨ happened, and I was able to finally write something somewhat cohesive for the first time in what feels like forever...

if you want to check out this Aloha from Hawaii themed Pink Scarf Universe story, join us HERE on Patreon! 🎉

(I'm hoping to have enough energy/inspiration after 5 weeks of illness to write something for everyone soon!💕)

(and thanks to @be-my-ally for the Pinterest collage tips!! 💋)

TW: references to period-related health, diet/ED, and drug issues, mentions of Dr. Nick, passing mention of Jack, Elvis' temper and how that brings up some things for Reader, cussing, baby talk, and of course a smidge of smutty smut 💋

Sneak Peek:

Very early morning, January 14th, 1973

This is bad, you think, buzzing with worry.

When you arrive in the dressing room, your heart pounds erratically in your chest, and not just from the massive, ground-breaking concert you just performed in or the roaring crowd in the arena. No, it’s when you look at your husband and see he’s looking through you, not at you. To be fair, he is distracted by the towel lobbed over his shoulders and the Mafia circling him with congratulations and pats on the back. Telling yourself that’s all it is, you snake your way through the guys and to his side.

“Elvis. Elvis, honey?” you whisper at him, trying not to yank on his bejeweled American Eagle suit with too much force. It was already heavy enough before he spent a few hours sweating in it, and now you guess it’s ten pounds heavier by the way it sticks to him and weighs him down.

“Hmmm?” he murmurs back at you, then finally seems to register your presence. “Oh, here’s my girl.” He squeezes you into his side and for the slightest moment you feel reassured, but the hug feels superficial and weak compared to how he once embraced you so tight you thought he’d never let you go.

He’s usually wired and riding high after a performance by this point. Instead, he seems exhausted and uncharacteristically out of it.

The itch inside you to pull him away and ask if he’s okay is so strong it makes your fingers tingle. You know doing such a thing now could perhaps hurt his ego, so you bite your tongue for the moment. But the way he lets you go and seemingly brushes you off has you grinding your teeth.

Stepping away, you tear off your own suit jacket, throwing it over a chair back and roasting from the inside out, even though it’s monumentally cooler in here than it was under all those lights on stage. Worry and brewing anger will do that.

The guys are sycophantically praising Elvis’ performance, and he nods along, not quite absorbing the words based on his blank expression. Perhaps you are just exhausted yourself because usually you would be singing his praises, too, but you know deep down it wasn’t his best show and that there is something fundamentally off about him.

He sinks down onto the sofa and a sense of relief washes through you. But you still feel on guard and uneasy. Maybe it’s the way Dr. Nick lingers in the corner, talking to Joe...

[arthurtaylorlester]

you may have seen my previous theory on wtf is going on with john doe malevolent, but i have more proof this time to show for my hypothesis!

in episode one, we first hear someone turning on a radio, presumably in a car, listening to “You call it madness (but I call it love)” by Russ Columbo (not the 1946 version by nat king cole trio we all put in playlists lol), then arthur gain consciousness

afterwards, they are in bookstore when a radio starts playing the song again, the entity doesn’t see the radio, but he does recognise the song

both arthur and the entity recognise this is odd, since atp the entity had only been in arthur’s body for 20 odd minutes

but, if you’re caught up, you’ll recognise that this is moment directly parallels a scene in part 33

this, however is not the only time something like this happens. in part 5, john uses a turn of phrase

this moment is soon after arthur’s month-long coma, so unless lily had been reading robert frost to arthur (which john would’ve most certainly mentioned when arthur brought it up), he shouldnt have any way of knowing this sentence. 

the first time we hear the poem in full is in part 26

but even still, in the context of the moment, why does john know this poem? he’s had no moment since he came back to learn anything of the sort, even ignoring the time it’d take to memorise something like this.

before this, there are only two instances of 'miles to go before i sleep' appearing, once at the end of part 17 and just before arthur leaps of the edge in part 23

so now, my answer to all these questions is a bit weird.

in part 1, the entity says as follows regarding time in other worlds and the dark world as being timeless

which initially led me to reach the idea that john's forgetfulness in part 33 has to do with the time he spent away from arthur in s3, which he claims he does not remember.

i think he was actually sent back to the dark world and spent an indefinite time there, since there is none, causing him to forget finer details. but that raises leaves many questions unanswered, like why did the entity know the song before ever being with arthur?

i think it's time fuckery. the entity we see in part one could be some sort of future!john, at some point he could be sent back to the dark world indefinitely once more, than brought back via the book at a different moment in time that from which he left, the past.

this theory makes a lot of leaps, but it also gives reason to why john already knows call it madness and miles to go, i believe he might use both of these as some sort of anchor to not go mad himself in the dark world, thought he does end up losing parts of himself and of arthur. still, he isnt completely gone, which is why he's eventually capable of becoming john again

it also kind of explains the first sentence the entity ever says in the show

of course, on your first listen you assume he means what happened to arthur a few moments prior, but with the context of a timeloop, he could be referring to the whole shows events, even what we havent seen

later, when john says he doesn't remember who he is either, and arthur says

i understand that the entity knowing what he is might help them both, but it's still a weird thing to say. arthur has just woken up with a corpse and voice in his head, and acts like it's not his first time doing this? i'm not saying he'd remember, but it would make more sense if he was partially amnesiac to the future/past loops like the entity/john

also, i think it's important to distinguish the entity and john, the former being an amnesiac john who has only the potential to become john, but could just as easily become yellow.

last point is, obviously, also a massive stretch.

in part 9, after their first consequential argument (as in it nearly gets them imprisoned), arthur tells this fable to john

which yeah, could be foreshadowing john being the king in yellow in the s1 finale, but. it wouldn't make much sense since john doesn't permanently get him and arthur killed?

i think it goes like this, if it lines up with my theory.

john starts forgetting about the dark world, starts getting dicier and riskier with his and arthur's choices, whether it be about his deal with kayne or other future lies, but he pushes and he keeps pushing until both he and arthur meet their end. at some point, he gets himself sent back to the dark world and arthur killed/otherwise indefinitely unavailable, and as he does, he says "it is in my nature", so the last thing he tell arthur isnt sorry, but an excuse. perhaps they end on bad terms, after all he's promised to not let him drown.

he is left there to rot in his misery with only faint memories of his new self (significant moments, like him telling arthur the poem) and after he starts forgetting, a long time for a place with no time, he is pulled into the book in the past, eventually reaching arthur again. he might recognise arthur's voice, but he might not remember enough at this point, having turned back into the entity, no longer being john.

but hey. this is based on my relisten of s1 and little else. i love stretching the canon to make it make sense lmao

edit 05/12/23 — further proof i only now noticed in episode 30 “The Tenant”

We heard you little Cousin.

Heard you hum,

pluck,

sing.

You think yourself

clever

But not as clever as we.

The Black Blade will find your heart

COUSIN

You're in love with a Fairy Tale

But Fairy Tales have happy endings

And you

won't

Shadow, Shadow on the wall

Now's the time to heed our call

Fulfill the duties of his curse

Make him see that we are worse

#the woods are lovely dark and deep #but i have promises to keep #and miles to go before i sleep

[its-your-mind]

hi hello I would like to create a liquid concentrate made of the feelings I feel when I listen to John softly recite “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” to help bring Arthur back to himself after he kills Uncle, and then I would like to shoot that into my veins on a daily basis. Thank you and goodnight.
