@the-bastard-and-the-pup hiiiiii!! even though i don't really post consistently, this is very much a 'don't forget, you're here forever' type of situation.

#HOWEVER. #i might chime back in with a public accountability post re: finishing the little fanfic i've been writing for the last YEARS #depends on how things are looking by mid-december #i have some uni things to take care of first but THEN....

[jadegoyl]

my favourite part about the puppy/bastard dynamic is, of course, the banter

#forever and ever and ever haunted by the bit of good omens dialogue...

[jadegoyl]

what is the relationship, exactly, between the mirrorworld and the fairy tales in 'our' world? as in. do the fairy tales of the brothers grimm exist in jacob and wills world? whats the level of meta we are operating with here? do will and jacob know that they are named after the grimms? is it ever implied that the grimms had access to a mirror of their own?

#signs that youre in too deep: this #you really can tell whenever i am procrastinating another essay whenever i come on here #did at some point someone bring a grimm book of fairy tales across the mirror and sold it like a book of prophecies? #are there fairy tales of the 'real' world on the other side of the mirror?

Some quotes from Golden Yarn that make me feel soo normal

“Die Prinzen dieser Welt träumten davon, ein Gesicht wie Will Reckless zu haben.”

“Das feine, helle Haar, die blauen Augen, der weiche, fast weibliche Mund, er hatte sogar Wimpern wie ein Mädchen. Und man hätte Honiggläser mit seiner Sanftmut füllen können.”

“...aber beim Anblick der Jade in Will Reckless’ Haut überlief Nerron zum ersten Mal das ehrfürchtige Schaudern, das andere ihm beschrieben hatten”

“Der Welpe suchte seinen Blick, mit Augen, die gescheckt waren von Gold. Er bewegte sich anders, als er auf die Füße kam, geschmeidig wie ein Goyl.”

“Aber er wollte nicht denken. Er wollte ihn nur ansehen.”

“Die Jade war Schuld. Nerron spürte die Ehrfurcht, die er bei ihrem Anblick empfunden hatte immer noch.”

“Der Welpe machte keinen Versuch ihn aufzuhalten, aber als Nerron sich irgendwann umsah, blickte er ihm immer noch nach.”

“Von beiden Brüdern betrogen. Warum verzieh er diesem so viel leichter? Warum ritt er dem Welpen weiter nach […]?”

“Die Jade. Nerron hasste es, dass er das Wort nur denken musste, um die Ehrfurcht und die Sehnsucht zu spüren. Nach was? Nach was, verflucht?”

#lest we forget that canon actually... hashtag did that #somehow the ~explicitly gay character~ was not as gay as nerrons POV #goldenes garn #we talk big game about our brain chemistry but i am not kidding when i say this changed me permanently #also whats that taylor swift song that goes 'everybody moved on but i stayed there. dust collected on my pinned up hair..' #that is me with golden yarn. i will never get over this and the chances of me ever finishing r4 are so desperately slim.. we will see

Goldenes Garn? Oh, du meinst Kapitel 13, Kapitel 21, Kapitel 29, Kapitel 38, Kapitel 42, Kapitel 48, Kapitel 51, Kapitel 59, Kapitel 68 und Kapitel 71?

#ah yes the mirrorworld series. Steinernes Fleisch. Lebendige Schatten. Goldenes Garn Kapitel 13 21 29 38 42 48 51 59 68 71 und.. #*schaut auf verschmierte Notizen auf meiner Hand* Schimmelnde Pferde...

Will und Nerron Crack (kind of, sort of)

“Will, mach sofort, dass du da weg kommst!” Nerron konnte es kaum fassen: Will stand am Rande eines Teichs und plauderte ausgelassen mit einem mager aussehenden, weißen Pferd.

“Nerron? Was ist denn mit dir los?”

In etwas Entfernung stand Nerron, kochend vor Wut. “Was mit mir los ist? Du quatscht mit einem kinderfressenden Wasserdämon!”

“Du musst Nerron sein.”

“Schnauze dadrüben, Fallada.”

“Nerron!”

“Ist er immer so… herzlich?” fragte die Kelpie pikiert.

“Ich zeig dir gleich, wie herzlich ich sein, du blass-geratener Droschkengaul!”

“Meistens ist er halb so wild.” Will wandte sich beschwichtigend zu Nerron um, “Jetzt beruhige dich endlich, Nerron. Dieses Wesen war bisher mehr als höflich.”

“Was soll das denn heißen? Hat er etwa angeboten, dich auf ihm sitzen zu lassen?”

“Scheint einer der eifersüchtigen Sorte zu sein”, murmelte die Kelpie Will zu.

Nerron bedachte die Kreatur mit einem tödlichen Blick. “Er frisst Kinder, Will.”

“Stimmt das?” fragte Will entsetzt.

Die Kelpie stammelte ertappt: “Nur in Vollmondnächten und nicht nur Kinder, das ist ein wirklich unschönes Klischee. Die meiste Zeit sind wir absolut umgängliche Zeitgenossen, versprochen.”

“Siehst du?”

Will machte einen vorsichtigen Schritt rückwärts. “Es war sehr nett, vielen Dank für den Plausch.”

“Aber was ist denn mit dem Champagnerfrühstück? Ich kenne da ein fantastisches Plätzchen, gar nicht weit von hier.”

“Damit meinst du wohl den Tümpel, in den du deine Opfer verschleppst, du hinterhältiges Mistvieh!”

“Einen schönen Tag noch!” rief Will fröhlich, während er weiter rückwärts in Nerrons Richtung ging.

Nerron packte ihn am Ärmel. “Meine Güte, Will. Dich kann man nicht aus den Augen lassen.”

“Woher sollte ich denn wissen, dass hier”, er blickte bedeutungsvoll zur Kelpie, die ihre wässrige Heimat nicht verlassen konnte, “Triebtäter unterwegs sind?”

#das passiert wenn man aus langeweile und nostalgie zu viel tkkg hört #does this count as crack? because writing it sure felt like i had smoked SOMETHING #my writing

[jadegoyl]

Sorry, but I can't keep it in anymore:

Couple shirts for Will and Nerron:

Will's: "I'm the fucking Jade Goyl."

Nerron's: "I'm fucking the Jade Goyl."

Cornelia Funke Q&A - 11.04.22

- …as well as a trans saxophone player called Sara(h?) who plays beautifully, often right outside Cornelia’s window and it’s very distracting to her productivity. They’re working on a christmas project together

- Despite wanting to stay in Italy, Cornelia realised that she’ll have to spend time in the USA regularly so she won’t lose her Green Card and it’s all very complicated - she thinks it’s worth it, though

- Right now Cornelia feels like helping younger artists begin their careers is just as important as working on her own books

- The library is not yet finished but it already doubles as a recording studio for visiting musicians. Cornelia says she can even record radio shows in there. It works great because all the books everywhere help with the sound quality

- A british publisher has asked Cornelia to translate 15 of Grimm’s Fairytales from the original German into English and “tell them her way”. So she’s currently translating/retelling one fairytale per month. She is doing this by introducing the book itself as the narrator, who is a little upset at how the Brothers Grimm told its stories.  The last one she finished was “Jorinde & Joringel”.

- Porcupines sound like Ewoks. Cornelia demonstrates it for us and highly recommends googling “porcupine noises”

CORNELIA’S WRITING ROOM

- Cornelia shows us a bit of her writing room. It has no door, because she likes to “write while anyone can come in” (I think she’s probably talking about characters but still - couldn’t be me)

- There’s a painting of a centaur that she made for Reckless on the wall, a cozy little corner to sit down, her desk and a bunch of books mainly related to Inkheart and Reckless, which are her current projects

sooo i’m reading the second reckless book right now, which- first of all, i love how the first dozen or so chapter are just our protagonist trying to come to terms with his own imminent death.

but really… so far this story is confirming a feeling i already had with the first book and that feeling is… the mirrorworld fucking sucks.

not as a setting but as a place to live, i mean.

like, okay, there’s magic and shapeshifting and fairytale treasure but the people in the cities are working themselves to death because workers’ rights haven’t been invented yet. fairies are being factory farmed so people can spike their drinks with fairy dust. penicillin still isn’t a thing. will you die because a feral cinderella or whatever rips your throat out or will you die because there are no safety protocolls at your workplace? it’s like the worst of both worlds.

“schleierkauz i think you just hate civilisation-” YEAH. AND? listen. if my life is ruined because some lord decides to sell my family to a witch i want untouched nature and unicorns. if my life is ruined because of capitalism and pollution i want a fridge and video games.

not to sound like dustfinger but knowing that this is where the inkworld is headed is making me sad.

#yeah #that is such a good point!! #also. there is a literal war going on

cornelia funke: so get this. people—but made of stone

us: let’s talk about goyl hair, we’ve been dying to talk about goyl hair—

#relevant once again #though it really should be 'goyl [insert literally anthing]' #goyl

[jadegoyl]

*wakes up in the middle of the night* Do the goyl have the respective properties of the stones they are made of? Are some of them stronger or more brittle than others? …are malachite goyl poisonous? If Nerron sat in a tub of water for long enough, would it become toxic???

#okay i love it when we think too hard about 'people but made from stone' #cornelia really did pull a number on us when she came up with that #signs that youre in Too Deep: this
