Economy

Last night, I dreamed that

I had to pay three dollars

for a slice of bread.

I can’t escape it.

This market is my hometown.

Soon, we’ll all be gone.

So I watched a video of someone actually looking at the origins you choose from in Elden Ring and how they come with vague, yet rich backstories...and I may have used this to give my character an arc relating to my diminishing use of blood procs. ENJOY!

Have we been led astray?

All my life, I have lived by the teaching of my elders. Of my ancestors.

But since I was called to the lands between, since I became a candidate for Elden Lord, I have learned more than any elder.

We were taught to bleed our opponents. No one was certain why. Most agreed that it delayed one’s reanimation, Aided their return to the roots, or something similar…but what if we were deceived?

I have met two groups that call my lesson into question. First, the outcasted heretics who worship flame. I have learned their spellcraft, the means by which they summon thorns. And with them, the origins of the spells. When those amongst their number lost their vision, they gained a new kind of sight, beholding a bloody star that they also worship. I have reason to believe this claim, having shamefully aided a blind maiden see a cursed flame in a similar manner…to an unfortunate end.

The other is the Dynasty of Blood. A name that could easily reflect my homeland. Led by a fell omen, this cult worships a goddess of blood and wounds. The Formless Mother. The lake of blood I saw while infiltrating their accused stronghold dwarfed the blood shed on the battlefields of my homeland. I thought I was accustomed to the sight of blood, but this…this gave me pause.

…I now stand upon Kyojin no sancho, The Mountaintops of the Giants. To enter the Erdtree, I must burn the thorns blocking my path with the Flame of Ruin. My allegiance to Order caused me pause when I first learned this…but now?

Now I am not certain. Since coming to this land, I have acquired many weapons and learned many techniques. Each showed me more of the world and gave me insight into its nature. But the one thing that made me question my homelands teachings is the blade now strapped at my hip, and the one laying in the snow before me. Two distinct weapons. One, from my homeland and following the philosophy of bloodletting to its most extreme, lies in the snow as I have felled it’s master in honorable combat. The other, on my hip, is native to this land.

An unorthodox katana forged with the gravel stones left by the dragons. Its enchantment calls down freezing lightning to coat its blade. I have grown found of this katana, like the many others I wield. But it stands out from the rest. With one exception, every other katana I have found follows the practices of the land of reeds. Every blade forged to bleed opponents; the one exception coated with poison along a jagged edge. But this blade does neither.

I had been taught to soak the ground with my enemies blood, that killing is inherently bloody and I should not fear that. But this blade draws blood only in the strike. Only allowing clean kills instead of victory through draining one’s essence. I find honor in this method.

While I will never fully abandon my home, I am samurai no longer. I have left the armor of my people for heavy plate for more protection. I have taken up a blade that doesn’t bleed as my weapon of choice. And what little bleed I commit, it done through heretical spellcraft.

I must choose my own way forward from now on. As a candidate for lordship, I must learn to act the part. I alone will decide the correct course of action.

Just as dynasties rise and fall, a new age must replace this one. To that end, I shall delay claiming the forge’s fire. I have learned of a sanctuary not far from these lands, and a maiden I met earlier in my journey implored I take her spirit there, as she could not go herself. I am honor bound to complete this task. In the time it takes to complete this task, I hope to finalize my decision on how to proceed. Once the Erdtree burns, there will be no turning back.

Blood upon the ground.

Another soldier fallen.

In death, knowing peace.

Haiku poems I’ve written over the years

(I know some of them aren’t 5/7/5 but oh well)

The dark took over

Once again I lost the war

It’s too much for me

Crying my eyes out

Are you even listening

I miss you too much

I want to cry out

But I can never do it

Why is it so hard?

She left me alone

I told her everything

And she still left me

(Maybe that why)

Quiet is nice

It’s like the nothingness inside

Becomes freedom.

I don’t want to sleep

Because the day comes quickly

And the night is short

Can you post a haiku based on the first time you were completely captivated by a lover … 💖

Damn those darling eyes

Caught me by utter surprise

Left wanting much more

I don't generally do haiku. I think I followed the rules 😬

painting over pain

with thicker pigment to hide

just stains brushes red

Coffin lid shuts tight,

Fangs sink into willing flesh.

Memo, welcome home.

A not accidental haiku.

Shouting into the void

Hoping something feels called

To answer me back with

A hello or an ily

December

cold wind on my neck,

nowhere to turn for safety.

back to work now, kid.

small haiku collection

premature

Trusting you was like

standing on a block of loose

cement - sinking strong

foster house

sleeping soundly through

the night with no monsters

in my bed, dreaming

fresh start

rotting flowers in

the garden, seeds scattered by

the wind. spring's begun

insomnia

no matter how much

i sleep, it's never enough

rest: a distant love

nomadic

how can i plant my

roots if my life is to be

spent free in the wind

unnamed

My soul is but a

flame And my mind is racing

to extinguish it

unnamed

music is a porch

light left on in your mind, safe

within the darkness

cyborg

my graphics card breaks

down, unable to render

the tiniest image

unnamed

It's more pity than

preservation to love you

when no one else will

Light dances with leaves

Hear the breeze blow through the trees

Oh what calm and peace

Half-sleep

even in half-sleep,

haiku flutters in my heart—

branches on keyboard

haiku ii.

bursted into flame

love—too alive to be dead

it killed me instead.
