let's talk about the fish/water/christ symbolism in the game of kings. with spoilers

fish (as ιχθυς) is an acronym for christ, and it's the first food jesus eats after being resurrected, right? it symbolizes rebirth, life, and christ himself. i personally think fish are slippery and cold-blooded too, but that's neither here nor there.

now look at how the game of kings starts: "lymond is back". we immediately know this book is about returning, it's about rebirth. in fact, the first thing we see is the man himself submerged in a body of water and coming out on the other side, after a baptism of sorts, as the character he will play for most of the book: lymond the outlaw, lymond the traitor.

the first words out of his mouth are "i am a narwhal": he identifies himself as a fish right away, and not just any fish but the unicorn fish; the unicorn of course being scotland's national animal. in perspective, he tells us everything we need to know about him: his status as a christ figure, his destiny to be reborn, his complicated relationship with his country.

the next time he's in a body of water, it's the second chapter and he's dying from a head injury in a bog. he's washed clean, this time, too: from his own identity. he's free to inhabit another character from the lymond constellation. it's also pretty funny that he's found by sym while he's going fishing ("you’ve hooked a twenty-pounder this time, my lad"), and he's nursed back to health by someone named Christian. not subtle.

lymond seems to be pretty into this whole fish and rebirth thing, does he not? he wouldn't lie to us. he wouldn't pretend to embrace life while actively seeking death, right? anyway, no relation at all, when the baby queen mary tries feeding him a fish he pretends to eat it and secretly throws it away. the fish is described as struggling and barely alive, which again i am sure is a coincidence.

then some stuff happens, and the next time lymond is offered fish he doesn't have it in him to keep pretending. he doesn't want the damn fish. newsflash, asshole (richard): he really, really wants to die. this is my favorite scene for many reasons, and one of them is the perfect juxtaposition of its literal and symbolic meanings: richard says he wants to see lymond hanged, but what he does is to drag him away from the tomb-like dovecote and towards running water, makes him eat the damn fish again and again until the miracle is complete. he's holding on to his brother with both hands and teeth before he even realizes he's doing it.

when it comes to an end the fish is off the hook, christ is off the cross and for once he's not sacrificed for the sins of others, and we close on him in his mother's arms in a beautiful literary pietà.

there's so much stuff i purposefully didn't mention and probably didn't notice, this is just a tiny example of the gorgeous figurative and thematic cohesion in this novel. i love it. thank you dorothy dunnett.

#lymond chronicles #the game of kings #the amount of symbolism in 4.3 knight adversary makes it almost look like a tarot card #something between the star and the knight/king of cups #i have a lot to say about tarot too #probably for a later post #i seems like you can't run out of things to say about the game of kings it's sooo well done #dorothy “three meanings at least per line” dunnett #if you think i'm annoying just know i've been talking like this on discord with the book club for the last two months and a half #thank you book club #anyway this is a rambling mess but you get it. you get it #ughhh lymond my brain will never be the same #lymond #the lymond chronicles

Man, remember when the day after a major holiday you could go to the store and buy all the holiday candy half-off?

Today is literally Halloween and I couldn't even buy a bag of Halloween candy at regular price because the store had already replaced it all with Christmas candy. I'm burning this country down.

#it's OCTOBER you FUCKING animals #i hate the christmas creep so much it's unreal #i've already been hearing christmas shopping ads on youtube thanks to their new bullshit and i see red every time #i can't fucking do two more months of this

to the millionth degree

The metal of the jailhouse bars was cool against his lips. 

Their hands, clasped together and resting on the steel, seemed to generate the only warmth in the open, echoing room.

“Carwood,” He said, voice strained and shaking, hands warm and rough. “It’s not too late—”

“Of course it is,” Carwood cut him off. It was almost like they’d switched positions, in two years. Neither hunted nor hunter, neither loved nor lover, the same in the most opposite way. “It’s always been too late. Since… since the day I first saw you, it was too late.”

Dark eyes bore into his and barely wavered. Slender, calloused fingers tightened around his own before releasing them.

“Go.” Ronald Speirs said, and stepped further back into the cell. “Before I won’t let you.”

hiya! i really enjoyed faith lat year (playing on the reg tbh its just SO good)

are we gonna seemore tiny pieces in the future? like u did with faith for that charity jam? (u know if they are doin it again?)

hi!! yes they are actually doing neo-twiny jam again! check out the post here! it starts June 1st! this year they're raising money for TransEquality.

i definitely recommend following @neointeractives they've been hosting a lot of little jams throughout the year & are a good place to find short-form IF works.

as of now, i am planning to write something for it again this year, this time using inkle. we'll see if i'm successful with it hahahaha

#thank you <3 #i dont write short form stuff too often i find it really difficult lmfao but i have a little thing i've been brainstorming this month #that's just two choices so i think i could make it work... #(yes it's sapphic) #ask #anonymous

i respect one (1) knight in le morte darthur and that knight is sir dinadan

#sir i would die for you #guy really took one look at a castle where to stay there you have to fight and beat two knights #and went no thanks i'd rather look for alternative accommodation #only to be dragged into it by tristram and then manage to gain entry #only to then be told that he has to fight with palomides and gaheris when they come to seek shelter #and turns around to tristram to say look i'm still knackered from fighting thirty knights a few hours ago and the two knights before #i've just been knocked off my horse by palomides #and quite honestly fuck this #(and then proceeds to say that lancelot and his eagerness to fight everyone landed him in bed with injuries for 3 months) #i love him your honour #he's just tired #anyway new blorbo acquired #sir dinadan #le morte d'arthur #le morte darthur #thomas malory #lit reads malory #arthuriana

#i won't let them interact if anyone's concerned #she sure the hell noticed him though #she was chilling and then was like ummm hiding behind the arm now thanks #sorry y'all i got a new pet and I'm making it everyone's problem #thing is snakes aren't slimy like some people think but it might be better if they were lol #they're sort of rubbery and they stick to dry skin pretty bad #so she's trying to slither around my arms and it's like stick stick stick stick #she's back in her tank now #i want to make sure she's used to being handled cause ngl I'll probably be a little intimidated as she gets bigger #....so guess I'm getting myself used to handling snakes too lol #I've always been a little afraid of them #i mean i grew up in florida so you know... not a bad thing to be when you've got dangerous snakes around #but in the two months we had her at the store she never once tried to bite anyone #balls are notably chill but she's like extra chill lol #it's not even the idea of getting bitten it's just the striking motion that's scary #if she did like a gentle nom i wouldn't be so nervous
