ever think about how ‘anguis’ is one letter off from ‘anguish’… what’s up with that 🤔🤔🤔

Sometimes. But also Anguis is the genus of a type of legless lizard often called "slow worms" or "blind worms".

....hey wait a minute

Master!!!

I was digging with the shovel to get some soil for a flower bed I wanted to make and deep in the soil was a cute, little slow worm/blindworm. 🦎🐍

I had put her to a safe place later.

First WIP of the Year! Thanks for all the tags this week and last: @thequeenofthewinter @skyrim-forever @elavoria @ladytanithia @lucien-lachance @nuwanders @rainpebble3 @chennnington

From the The Illusionist (sorry for slow updates the writers block is real 😅). A tense convo between Mephala and Nim:

“No, blood will flow as surely as the spinning wheel revolves. Such is the cycle. That you choose to press on aimlessly, widdershins, is of no consequence to Me. Not anymore. I offered you sanctuary, an anchor, a chance to learn what glory could be gained in sacrifice, and instead you clung to this bland mortal life as if it could save you from your nature. Dear Brother, how fruitlessly you toil, trying to keep yourself concealed. So lean you’ve grown in your denial that it’s almost laughable to watch you. Warping, twisting, draining all those caught in your web as if their disfigurement could make your ugliness anymore bearable. As if picking at their threads could ever grant you the power to weave something greater than My tapestry.” Nim rubbed at her nose with the back of her hand, wiped whatever came out on her blouse. “Alright,” she said, “Now can you open the door, or is there more you wish to say? I understand you’re quite upset, maybe feeling a bit cheated in all this. Jealous even, given the circumstances, and while not my intention, I—” “Jealous!” The laugh that bubbled up from that bottomless well of Mephala’s voice elicited a sour taste in Nim’s mouth and the desperate urge to spit. “You poor, misguided Brother of Mine. Did you think to leave here a hero, right what was never wrong? You have taken nothing from Me that I won’t get back ten-fold.” “Okay then. One day I’m sure we’ll look back on all this and laugh.” She gestured again to the door. “So…” “Blind as a worm yet not half as supple.” Mephala’s scoff hung heavy with disgust. “One day you will learn that the end and the beginning are one and the same whether you fork left or fork right. Haven’t you realized by now that every step you take in this world serves the same function? All you’ve done is drag the wheel along another turn.” Whether Mephala’s magic had receded or Nim had found a means to dislocate, she couldn’t say, but the sticky mantle on her skin had lifted, leaving only the weight of the sanctuary’s damp cold. Time elongated, ticked by, chewed at her heels like famished rats gnawing at wallpaper paste, and Nim found herself staring again at the Black Door, staring hard, willing herself to find some message, some meaning in the negative space of the stone relief. Reliving the moment when it all went wrong, when she had become irrevocably loosened from the woman she’d imagined herself to be, she found it. There chiseled upon the door was a vision of the future— a warning or a promise to all those who entered— one fate had since collected upon. How many times had she passed through and refused to consider it in earnest? There, an example for all those who called this place home that the blood of the covenant flowed only one way, and the beating heart it supplied had never been her own.

hi it's time for some BC + chart meme again 😌🖤

#blind channel #i made these over a month ago actually when i was having a shit day and needed to cheer myself up #they did the job but i didn't think they were funny enough to be posted #but now i looked at these again and was like ''eh what the hell 🤷‍♀️'' #pls don't ask me about the second one (aleksi's placement in particular) i can't remember my reasoning back then anymore lol #i'm also not sure why i put aleksi in 'pirating' in the prison one but i'm sure i had my reasons #(yes still no fic ready to be posted but here's some memes for y'all to look at while waiting i guess. you're welcome) #reblog if you'd still love BC if they were a band of worms

[evilwizardcrab]

on 14.9 and its honestly funny that wildbow assumes everyone would get incredibly violent and paranoid if they couldn't recognise names and faces as though that isn't just a normal day in Autismville

#this isnt a joke i have terrible memeory for names #mild face blindness and an inability to pick up on body language due to tism #i basically improv my way through life #autism #worm #parahumans #wildbow #stick stick sticky stick
