#so sorry for wonky formatting

[theaceace]

When Burgess summoned Dream, instead of Dream being completely cut off from the Dreaming, instead the magic pulled all of Fawney Rig into the soft places at the edge of the Dreaming, so like Dream still can't get out of the circle and his subjects can't get in but the Dreaming suffers much less and crucially, he still has access to some tiny fraction of his power

So now the whole house and everyone in it is sort of tied to the Dreaming and there's just oodles of magic coming off it, and the house in the Waking and the house in the Dreaming exist sort of superimposed over each other. Like you can be in one and sort of be aware of the other but you can't really flip between the two

And I want the whole thing to operate on a sort of combo between Aladdin in the cave of wonders/Orpheus leaving with Eurydice rules where it's said that if you enter the house in the Dreaming side and manage to find the Dream king, he'll grant you the thing you've been dreaming of, but the catch is you have to believe you have it. You have to leave the house without checking. So Burgess asks for Randall, but he turns to look almost before they're out of the basement because if he were Dream then he would pull a trick (TBF it wasn't actually Randall, just a dream of him, but Burgess couldn't tell the difference anyway because he was a terrible father and you can't change my mind). After that, he never managed to find the basement again. Never even manages to find the dream house again, only the waking one, although he goes mad looking for it

But like. Someone else asks for riches and the Dream king says they can be found the guy's pocket or whatever, but he can't feel anything? There's no weight there, no shape, his pocket seems empty (it isn't when he checks, but as soon as he gets out of the house, yelling about his triumph, it's gone and the house is mundane again)

Alex, who doesn't ask for anything until after the death of his father (and after he murdered Jessamy) asks for peace. For safety. The Dream king says nothing, and Alex lives the rest of his life in the Dreaming version of the house, too scared to step outside in case whatever peace he's found in his personal prison vanishes

Ethel never makes it to the house in the Dreaming . She takes what she wants from the waking, and when she leaves she doesn't look back once

Time passes, and more and more people find their way to Fawney Rig, but as Dream himself said, the great stories always return to their original forms, so no one succeeds because that's how it goes

And then. And then Hob. Hob who finds his way to the house just looking for an answer. Looking for something he can do to make sure his Stranger is there in 2089, because otherwise he might lose his mind with the what-ifs. So he finds the house, and he meets Alex, who hasn't set foot outside the front door in over 80 years except it's a little hard to feel sorry for him when Hob realises why. He meets Paul, who lives solidly in the waking, and hasn't been able to convince Alex that it would be worth it to leave with him. He finds his way down to the basement, finally, and there he finds his Stranger

And at first he thinks? It's a trick? Because isn't that sort of what this place does, it tricks you? But he speaks to Dream, and he gets the rest of the story from him, and the only thing Hob wants to take from this place is Dream. And he's like I want to get you out of here, but I can't because you're trapped in that circle (which for reasons unknown to the author right now but probably has something to do with the nature of dreams and stories can't just be broken like a regular spell circle) and I can't do anything about it and Dream is all you know the story, Hob Gadling. It is a more powerful magic than the binding. Leave, and don't look back, and trust that I am following

(Dream knows the story. He's sure he knows how it ends. But he also knows that it has to be played out, that he has to give Hob this chance - he finds himself, as he follows, weeping silently for his son and Eurydice)

So then there would be the agonising climb and return through the maze of the house where Hob almost looks back a bunch of times, and eventually he makes it to the door and steps out into the bright sun of the waking, and -

End title

UNTITLED EVIL LUIGI AU COMIC THING | Page 5 of (???)

the italian says “you’re a loser” i think. i googled common italian insults and that’s what it gave me. i wanted to go with something sharper but i don’t speak italian and i was a little worried about just slapping a harsh italian insult i found on google down and calling it a day without knowing the possible repercussions LOL

i feel like the coloring kinda got away from me on this one. oh well. also i meant to actually put pictures in the frames behind bowser in panel 5 but i forgot. double oh well

little jokes/references i tried to hide in here that may or may not be very legible:

mario’s new coffee cup says marty. because i love the idea of mario being the mushroom kingdoms savior for 20+ years and yet the toads still can’t get his name right at starbucks

the time on the alarm clock reads 10:05 and is a band reference :)

luigi’s doing some research on the paranormal and is reading a book called can you burn a luigi board? a guide to the paranormal because that video truly lives in my head rent free and it’s just. too perfect. because. come on. luigi. ghosts. etc. totally unrelated to the story just wanted to throw it in here Somewhere lmfao

#bowuigi #bowser x luigi #luigi #bowser #super mario bros #mine #evil luigi au #my art #kinda starting to run out of steam on this a bit because works kicking my ass #plus with the whole mr L thing i’m like…….hmm #this isn’t as original as i thought #OH WELL #i’ll try my best to continue on #or maybe start something new who knows #also sorry if the formatting is off #i posted this page on my ipad this time vs my computer #so might be a bit wonky #the band reference is to Coin btw #unrelated but i’m super tempted to get a flip phone #one that can still access like spotify and maps and stuff but like #one that’s nice and simple to help reduce screen time #kinda want a samsung fold too but not til they come down in price and are more durable #anyway. totally random tangent #but yeah

nobamaki + “You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into.” 😏

“You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into.”

Nobara’s mouth goes dry. She swallows against the pressure of the Maki’s arm against her throat.

“On the contrary,” she says, breathless, “I’m exactly where I want to be.”

Maki raises an eyebrow. “Are you now?”

Nobara’s tongue darts out from her mouth, wetting her lips. She watches Maki’s eyes track the movement.

“Yeah,” she whispers. “I am.”

send me a ship + a sentence and i’ll write the next five(ish) sentences

3 screenshots of max and anne's conversation in the cave in black sails season 3 episode 3. all screenshots show anne, standing in the dark with only a single beam of light across the frame, and closed captions along the bottom. she moves from the dark on the left to further to the right with each screenshot, with the first screenshot being her completely consumed by darkness and the final screenshot showing her silhouette outlined by the beam of light.

the first screenshot's closed captions are of max speaking - she says "you should stay...". the second screenshot continues max's statement: "To see it be divided evenly". the third screenshot is of anne speaking - the closed captions read "I trust you." end image description ]

something something in the dark there is possibility

#this is the ONLY. TIME. anne ever says she trusts someone explicitly. THE WHOLE SHWO. THE ONLY TIME #sorry but the lighting in this episode makws me HHHHHHHH #max also speaks very frankly in this scene - its one of if not the only time she talks about her past #basically there are like a handful of themes in black sails and if u look closely u can see them in every episode #because this show is awork of fucking art #also! new to doing image descriptions - if i missed anything/made a mistake pls let me know! #canis watches black sails #black sails #also. formatting on mobile and ive never done huge imageposts before so they mighr be wonky - might try 2 fix em tomorrow #anne bonny #max black sails

Happy writing!

la langue d’être “lacking"

(an exploration of identity as a bilingual nonbinary person with a speech impediment)

transgenre? androgyne? non genré? queer ah "queer" c’est un beau mot

anglais.

he or she or il ou elle neither language claims room for me et les adjectifs…? je ne me connais pas en français… my second language, une moitié de mon identité I built that identity in the basement of a friend who showed me how to be une fille bilingue

though when my tongue twists up, I still remember a forgotten language (c’est plus facile d’apprendre le français que le gallois. Welsh. Cymraeg.  c’est plus utile d’oublier la langue de mes ancêtres) I left my namesake’s dreams behind to become bilingual

mais les deux langues m’ont appelé “fille”

I had all the wounds of a woman but none of the feeling, how was I meant to feel? sans sens sans sensation sans signification sans cent choses pour me définir j’ai dû chercher les mots pour me chercher find how to find myself sans culture sans genre sans sexualité sans sans sans sans…

at school they made fun of me a girl? no an alien, a monster sans confiance sans réponse  I wanted to shout “stop” but I st-st-st-stuttered sans les sons pour me défendre

and now I’m writing poetry that repeats that sound “s” s-s- ce son en anglais c’est "stutter" how can I explain when I stutter the word?

maybe words aren’t meant for me les sons sans sens - signification - qui peut saisir la sensation d’être un monstre sans description dans n’importe quelle langue

english. french. bilingue.

plus grande que la langue    je me construis une identité        de la vérité 

“queer” c’est un beau mot but I don’t have to define myself in your language

french. anglais. femme. homme.

Non.  it’s language that’s lacking. Not me. who am I?

cette réponse n'appartient qu’à moi-même.

#west's words #writeblr #poetsandwriters #poésie #poetry #queer #I originally wrote a version of this in all french a few years ago #then I made a version in all english #until suddenly yesterday i had the realization that to truly express the meaning of the poem #it makes most sense for it to be bilingual and use both languages at once #i know most of my followers don't speak french #and i have yet to encounter a real francophone writing community here on tumblr #so i might reblog this with a translation of the french lines #so people can understand it #also tumblr says fuck formatting #so sorry if the line spacing looks real wonky #the spacing feels meaningful when it actually shows up correctly

Sometimes I like to think about Dark and Y/N going to a fancy event and Darks is dressed to the nines and waiting for Y/N to get dressed. So later Y/N walks down the stairs with only 10 minutes to get to this place ( so no time to change ;) ) wearing a t-shirt and loose fitting shorts with some light-up Nike sneakers. I enjoy seeing dark mortified 💅✨

I'm gonna be honest I have no idea where to even start writing this one but I wanna thank you, anon, for putting that image in my head, so I give you this

The poor man is panicking. Maybe there's enough time if he helps them? They have to have SOMETHING suitable, right?..... right? (They do not) Time is running out and he needs to fix this FAST. He looks like he's starting to sweat a little - you didn't even know he could do that - and debating whether it would be a better idea to just stay home. Until you suggest "just use your weird voidman powers" to make it look like you're not basically in gym clothes. That makes him freeze in place and you're not sure if it's because he's annoyed by the nickname, or if he's upset with himself for not thinking of that, or if he can't do that but his pride won't let him admit it. A few more seconds pass as you two stare at each other in silence. It feels like years. You see his jaw tighten - is he actually angry now? - and have to fake a cough behind your hand to hide the laugh threatening to bubble up out of you. You have a feeling you'll regret this, but it's pretty funny right now. Ah well, it's not like that event was particularly important or anything. You're pretty sure, at least.

HI MAY I HAVE SOME SIBLINGS (yosano and ranpo!!!!)

with UHMM "did you steal my drink?"

“Did you steal my drink?”

“…No,” Ranpo responds, around the straw in their mouth. Yosano levels them with a glare that they may not be able to see, but they can most certainly feel. “This is mine. I dunno what happened to yours.”

Yosano scoffs. She marches over, but instead of swiping her drink back, like Ranpo expected, she goes for his half-eaten bag of chips instead.

“Hey, wait—!”

“These are mine,” Yosano taunts, easily evading Ranpo’s attempt to grab at her before promptly shoving three chips into her mouth. “I don’t know what happened to yours.”

send me a ship + a sentence and i’ll write the next five(ish) sentences

@fearbend continued from here!

Haughtiness dripped from her every word. Clearly the girl not only knew her own talents, but was unabashedly proud of them. Childe couldn't help but chuckle, remembering back to his days as a common Fatui foot soldier when he'd worn a similar look each time he bested his training partners.

If they'd ended up bloodied and bruised by the time he was done with them? Well, someone had to push the Tsaritsa's soldiers to improve when his superiors at the time clearly hadn't.

"A Vision is far more than a trinket, though I can see how it may seem that way to those who don't have one," he said with a shrug. Challenging words lit a spark in his eyes, and his grin stretched wider—sharpened just beyond the realm of 'friendly.'

"Besides, there's far more to my power than a Vision or a Delusion. Not that I expect you to take my word for it, of course; I'd be glad to prove it, if you're brave enough to take me on."

kinda new to this roleplaying on tumblr thing but ( o_o)=💍 (writing from /johngravessimcoe)

@rhogeminid

Breaths, ill-steadied, ghostily shudder across the plump curve of Anna's lips. She can feel the mighty thunder of her heartbeat, carried much like a violent river, throughout her entire form until it resonates hard in the pads of her finger-tips.

Simcoe's presently unoccupied room is dreadfully quite. So still is it, that Anna could hear the groan of loosened floorboards beneath her practiced, overly cautious steps.

A panicked glance is cast back towards the door as she crouches beside his traveling trunk. To be caught in this intrusive act would mean certain death. A death she was all but promised by Richard Woodhull when Captain Joyce wound up dead. He was seeking out excuses to see her hanged, this very well could be all the evidence he required.

If the brunette let herself pause to consider the consequences too long, she'd find her certainty ever-fleeting. The Ring was counting on success for survival, a burden far too heavy for even the sturdiest of shoulders to carry alone. Swallowing in determination, Anna forces herself to fiddle with the lock.

Quaking fingers casually cast aside the Captain's clothing in pursuit of a missive. Any missive detailing troop movement or indications of where the King's army next targets lay. Information that might not be garnered in any other way than snooping. She was intimately familiar with every fiber of his laundry for she had spent hours scrubbing at bloodstains and dirt to make sure it was pristine enough to pass inspection. That failed to garner much of her notice.

Something catches the corner of her eye when she goes to pull his uniform pants back into their expected place. With another tentative glance cast towards the closed door, she determines it is safe enough to pry for a few more minutes.

Where she had expected to find something as harsh as the firey-haired Captain, she discovers something delicate. A gasp conveys her astonishment as she gently tugs the box open to find a a simple circlet. A wedding band? Her brows tug inwards in confusion. Had the man indicated that he was wed? Anna sinks back onto her feet in contemplation. Every conversation she had overheard had failed to mention a spouse or even a love interest. Why is it that he had this? Was it taken from a conquest? Was it a family heirloom?

So enveloped in the mystery of it all, Anna hadn't heard his entrance, nor his footsteps approaching.
