"Do I love you ?

My god, if your love were a grain of sand,

mine would be a universe of beaches."

Something wicked this way comes

And as I set to face it I'm unsure, should I embrace it, should I run?

Maybelle being silly!!! ^w^ & killing the Fates!! (my ocs)

also did you notice?? that her crown wings are darkened- like imagery of an angel falling from grace?? do you see it??

In a realm of magic and mystery, where the sun dipped below the horizon, a long-lost family member reappeared. The once-silent castle echoed with tales of ancient sorcerers and their apprentices. In just 100 words, the world of enchantment came alive: "In twilight's embrace, the lost one found, An heir to magic's boundless ground. The castle whispers secrets old, Of masters and students bold. Together they weave a tale, Of sorcery's golden veil. A bond unbroken, hearts entwined, In the realm where spells are lined."

In the realm of Neo-Terra, where the cosmic battle raged, The choice was made, the future's fate unaged. Ancient forces clashed in epic display, As the balance teetered, and darkness swayed. In this final hour, the fates were sealed, For a decision, so critical, now revealed. Good and evil, entwined in eternal strife, Their destinies intertwined, forever more, life.

The Beat Road Less Traveled: Jack Kerouac's Orlando Odyssey

In the heart of Florida, where the pulse of theme parks beats like a relentless drum, lies a quiet street that harbors a secret history. This is the story of 1418 Clouser Ave, College Park, Orlando—a modest abode that once cradled the restless spirit of Jack Kerouac, the iconic beacon of the Beat Generation.

The year was 1957, a time when America was poised on the cusp of cultural revolution. Kerouac, already a whisper on the lips of the nation after the publication of "On the Road," sought refuge from the dizzying whirl of fame. He found solace in Orlando, a place far removed from the smoke-filled jazz clubs and the frenetic streets that fueled his wanderlust. Here, in a small house nestled among the orange groves and under the expansive Florida sky, Kerouac embarked on a new journey—a journey inward.

As the world buzzed outside, Kerouac penned "Dharma Bums" within these walls, his typewriter keys tapping out the rhythm of a soul in search of meaning. The novel, a testament to his exploration of Buddhism and the counterculture of the time, was birthed in the tranquility of Orlando, a stark contrast to the vibrant chaos that characterized his earlier works.

This house, a silent witness to the creation of a literary masterpiece, has since transformed into The Kerouac Project. It stands as a beacon to writers and artists from around the globe, offering them the same sanctuary it provided Kerouac. Here, the legacy of a man who once roamed the vast American landscape in search of freedom and authenticity continues to inspire.

The story of Jack Kerouac in Orlando is a vivid reminder that amidst the clamor and the glamour, there are pockets of serenity that have the power to fuel creativity. It challenges the narrative of Orlando as merely a tourist haven, revealing a city with a rich cultural tapestry woven with threads of literary significance.

As the sun sets over College Park, casting long shadows on the pavement outside the Kerouac house, one can almost hear the ghost of a typewriter, echoing through the years. This is where a road less traveled by the Beats wound its way through Orlando, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and captivate.

So, to the wanderers, the dreamers, and the rebels at heart, Orlando holds a piece of hidden history, a testament to the journey of a man who dared to live fully, deeply, and authentically. It's a story that beckons us to explore, to discover, and to dream beyond the confines of the mapped and the known.

This is the tale of Jack Kerouac's Orlando odyssey. A chapter in the book of the Beat Generation that whispers the possibility of finding inspiration in the most unexpected places.

Decoding Darkness: Choosing the New Book Title and Exploring the Bridget Cleary Connection

Hello, my Freaky Darlings! Greetings from a slightly warmer arse-end of Africa. Another week has come and gone, and as usual, I’m faced with the Herculean task of picking the choicest nuggets of lunacy to share with you. Skimming through the weekly headlines has me doing double takes and muttering ‘What The Actual Fuck’ every other minute. But at least the taxi strike that pretty much shut Cape…

Oohhhhhhh. So far, all of Aabria's Dimension 20 seasons are intensely literary Misfits and Magic - Harry Potter ACOFAF - Jane Austen, Bridgerton Burrow's End - Watership Down, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, Animal Farm, 1984, etc.

There's something delightful hearing her talk about not coming to TTRPGs through high fantasy like Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time, but yet there's so much bookish influence on her GMing work. Diversify the literary influences!

#thoughts inspired by Aabria's Burrow's End screen rant interview #aabria iyengar #dimension 20 #acofaf #a court of fey and flowers #burrow's end #burrow's end spoilers #misfits and magic #books books books #literary influences #also possibly ACOTAR is an influence for ACOFAF but I don't know enough about the ACOTAR books to comment on that intelligently

This is your reminder to stop thinking what society will think about you but rather do stuff that you love. Eat that food in a weird way and especially slurp your noodles, go out with your friends and do random stuff, dress how you want, support what you like, paint that wall in your house, smile happily, skip the same routine which you are doing from the past few years or months and simply do that random stuff which you like.
