#flights of fancy

Across the tent, Rhaegal unfolded green wings to flap and flutter a half foot before thumping to the carpet. When he landed, his tail lashed back and forth in fury, and he raised his head and screamed. If I had wings, I would want to fly too, Dany thought. The Targaryens of old had ridden upon dragonback when they went to war. She tried to imagine what it would feel like, to straddle a dragon’s neck and soar high into the air. It would be like standing on a mountaintop, only better. The whole world would be spread out below. If I flew high enough, I could even see the Seven Kingdoms, and reach up and touch the comet.

Daenerys I, A CLASH OF KINGS

As Arya crossed the yard to the bathhouse, she spied a raven circling down toward the rookery, and wondered where it had come from and what message it carried. Might be it’s from Robb, come to say it wasn’t true about Bran and Rickon. She chewed on her lip, hoping. If I had wings I could fly back to Winterfell and see for myself. And if it was true, I’d just fly away, fly up past the moon and the shining stars, and see all the things in Old Nan’s stories, dragons and sea monsters and the Titan of Braavos, and maybe I wouldn’t ever fly back unless I wanted to.

Reila smiled as she sat back down, “You know I really like the way you say my name.”

"I really like saying your name." Kagu replied a little surprised at how true that was.

Flights of Fancy

After Safiya Sinclair

Cans of soda keep their fizz for years – much longer than plastic bottles, which inevitably expand and contract, air seeping out ’til none is left, lifeless liquid lying static, line against the bottle, flat. The bottles I have tucked against the seats before me have crinkled sharply as the plane descend on the other side of the Atlantic, left a thorny, jagged husk by the changing pressure of the cabin air. Embrace the pressure: it’ll turn your skin to diamond, split you apart and set you rolling in the mud, lost and looking. What can I say? My soul goes every night outside my body; roams in and under, over, through the walls; it scours this silver city’s sunken skyline. She’s crying for her past and future self, screaming out and hearing nothing in return; she’s tearing at the seams and comes undone but she’s not done and in the silence now a crack, a hiss of air, a whisper: “You’re lost forever.”

It's interesting how heavy and relentless singing of mazoku (demonic beings) combines with cheerful and uplifting singing of shinzoku (celestial beings) and creates beautiful combination song resulting in Urd becoming half-mazoku half-shinzoku as whole again.

From "Aa! Megami-sama! Sorezore no Tsubasa" a.k.a. "Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy".

After Danny exposed Vlad and his corrupt dealings, the older halfa got the last laugh by getting his blacklists from all engineering jobs. Desperate for a job Danny ends up applying for a personal assistant position and he actually gets it. It only takes him a week to see how detached Bruce Wayne is from his own company. AND he has his 16 year old son running it as CEO!? No way is he letting that slide.

#dp x dc #dc x dp #hyper prompts #there's nowhere bruce can go that danny can't find him #his pa is the one person other than alfred that he's actually terrified of #also i imagine the rest of danny's family quickly follows him to gotham #jazz naturally begins working at arkham #a reformed dan opens up a restaurant in crime alley that doubles as a soup kitchen #and ellie helps him out while also doing a bunch of odd jobs around the city #whatever flights her fancy for the day #the bats don't know whether to put them on some sort of supervillain watchlist #or just watch the chaos unfold #it is hilarious seeing bruce squirm though

I present to you the work of another painter of fish plates. Y’know how you use ‘scare quotes’ for various purposes, including indicating that you’re not actually sure about The Thing?

Well, this guy was so bad at whatever he was painting that we call him…

The ‘tadpole’ painter:

Here’s another example:

This one was sold as part of the Graham Geddes collection at Bonham’s auction house in 2008 for £2,040.

They describe it as ‘three fish including a wrasse with dorsal spines, an angler-fish, the rounded body with multiple black dots, two large round eyes with pupils, an open mouth with teeth bared, and a ray with pointed face, the body with multiple black dots’.

Which like… bold fucking move missing out the fact that they have legs. Though I can’t say I envy whoever had to write the description.

#first one is: #from ‘Greek red-figure fish-plates by Ian McPhee and A D Trendal #from the Macinagrossa collection in Bari #which I think is a private collection? #Trendall and McPhee refer to him as ‘a very minor artist’. #v rude. #imagine the auctioneer writing the description like ‘sooooo… uh. anyone know what this is supposed to be?’ #and a colleague just pointing out the fact that it’s the ‘tadpole’ painter and shrugging apologetically #because it was looted we do not know where it originally came from #(though many were found in tombs) #anyway. my personal head cannon - and I cannot emphasise enough that I have literally no evidence for this. it is just a flight of fancy #is that someone has to bring their child to work for a few days #and just let their kid play around and decorate plates that were write-offs for one reason or another #and some kid just sat their happily painting their crude little fish on these plates whilst their dad worked away #Fischteller #fish plates #tagamemnon

As Reila watched the portal close, she spoke, “Uncle Roric, I think I’m in love.”

Kagu stood looking around his fairly minimalistic house with one thought. 'I need to get more shiney things'

He moved to take inventory of his promised supplies, restless feeling in his soul replaces with an eager warmth.

genuinely, every single Christmas I say something and my sister looks at me like I'm insane.

I'm not typically wrong---she tried to insist she had no emotions one year, which is flatly incorrect---but also, sometimes it does mean we're at the kitchen table in our parents' house and I say things like, "so, does that mean you don't think about death in a constant, low-level way? not in a scary way! just in a 'huh, if this happened, how would I react, and does this change my perspective on the ontological makeup of the cosmos and the existence or non-existence of god' sort of way."

and then she looks at me.

#and then I get excited to talk about it and debate something and she shuts me down immediately #to be fair she also looked at me weird when I went on a brief (humorous!) flight of fancy about a billboard so #it's not just the death bits. #christmas is a weird time of year. #celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge #tw death #christmas for ts
