all hallows

They meet early spring, sometimes later. Though it varies, by the time the cherry trees stand full in bloom Jaskier will have appeared in Geralt’s way, bright and ardent as the morning, brimming with yet unwritten music and all the zest and force of a mountain brook after snowmelt.

Their paths run parallel and intertwine through the summer, though the pattern is as predictable in its unpredictability as the weather of the season, Jaskier drifts away with a breeze but returns like a summer storm, brash but reviving.

As grass grows lush beneath their tread and berries ripen at the roadside so too does the bard’s songs, making their way to be consumed by the wealthy and the poor in full arrangements in halls or establishments, or as treats and snippets for passers by.

Autumn brings their parting. They both sense it approaching, whether through the creeping chill of the rain or the flocking of birds or shifting foliage, neither can point to exactly. Never before the peaches ripen, but always before the final apples tumble from their branches.

But it’s always Jaskier whose path diverges, who chooses the place and nature of their departure by lending the Witcher a blessing for the road ahead before taking his leave, drawn by some sign or fancy Geralt isn’t privy to.

The coming of the first frost is as certain as it never finding them together.

From then he wanders his chosen road alone, heading west with the sun until the wind brings the first greetings from the coast, until woods and craggy hills give way to wide quilted landscapes of fields and crops, abundant and golden at first then scorched and yellow, the barrenness of harvest or pestilence.

New songs are rarer, save for hummed and plucked fragments for the sparrows picking at the crops’ meagre remnants, or simple ditties to accompany homebound peasants and weary vagrants.

Trees let their leaves flutter to the ground and he finds himself in agreement, tired in the way that he only ever is in autumn: In that profound, vivid way that speaks of a fair performance, a show well enacted.

Drawing a lungful sweet with ripeness and decay he looks upon the sheaves piled high along the roadside, the last of his congregation.

He gathers in a hand the seeds spread upon the ground in offering, tucking them into the inner lining of his doublet.

Bard's Song Ch 3 - Snippet

"The townsfolk can say what they want about a homebound old lady. Hell, maybe I'll start dragging myself through the streets cursing them. Prove them right. Who knows." Sem chuckled. "But I need my son to be found and cured."

"Why didn't you offer a reward or ask for help?"

Sem scoffed, "They all want him dead!"

"And you…" Geralt's eyes narrowed. "Obviously don't. But you have another solution?"

"Oh, of course I do!" She smacked the table. "But you're not going to like it."

"I won't." Brow raised.

"Witcher," her chest puffed out. "You're gunna hafta carry me."

~☆~☆~

So I've been plotting this fic out for a year. Here's a chapter 3 snippet. By far one of my more favorite encounters.

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and interests you and I’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it!

I was tagged by @notajoinerofthings and though I usually forget to do these tagging memes, I actually set myself an alarm because THIS IS FUN! :D

This is going to be a longish list and most of these titles are going to change again, but let’s see what we’ve got... (edit: I’ll add asterisk to things that actually have a bunch of writing in them and aren’t just wild ideas and a made-up title)

- Fallout (Star Trek: La Sirena, ep. 2)* - Heritage (Star Trek: La Sirena, ep. 3) - Secrets (Star Trek: La Sirena, ep. 4 or 5) - Interludes: Mornings in Mess Hall* - Interludes: Training (Aya, Emmet, Emil)* - Interludes: Broken String (Cal, Steward, Emil)* - Ikea Intergalactic, ch.1: “Vällkommen till IKEA Intergalaktisk”* - A simple mission (and a lot of gagh)* - Breathe - Serrian* - Ricepudding (CHANGE NAME NOT TO ENCROACH ON REGIONALPANCAKE’S IDEAS!)* - 5 + 1 holos - From the Mouth of Babes* - CMO’s Log (Plant Life, Freecloud, post-Crisis, Humility and Hospitality)* - Kintsugi* - In the Shallows* - CYOA (plot ideas)

And from the other WIPs: - Sickbay Deep Dive pt.3: ALL OF THE STUFF* - Study Deep Dive (probably split into two at least)

Good lord I really need to write more. A bunch of these are all-but-finished but missing a crucial few lines, and some of them are just vague ideas. But yeah. Ask me anything ;)

I’m tagging @regionalpancake, @thelaithlyworm, and anyone who’s interested (looking at my Homebound Bards). Feel free only to post a subset of your WIPs if it would get too much otherwise, but I felt like I needed to have a gander through my WIP’s to remember what all I’m working on and what I might just finally sit myself down to finish already XD

Hey guys! My 18th birthday is next week, on April 1st (yep, not making it up), and I wanna do something special for y’all, like a nice hobbit.(Also I’m now about to be... *gasp* a young adult, so I wanna be more productive.)

@aini-nufire @talvenhenki @areusittingcomfortably @strictlynofrills @cristobalrios @enigma-the-mysterious @29-pieces @phenixy-dunnhart @xandiland and any of you that might follow me or are in the Aramis in space or Homebound Bards groups... Hit me up with a writing prompt, and I’ll write you a ficlet! I’ll post them on my birthday! :) For the fandoms, I’ve been into so many of them that practically anything should be good (just ask me), but I’m mostly into the Musketeers, Star Trek (especially Picard, but also TOS, 2009 and Disco), Star Wars (prequels/Clone Wars era) and LotR/Silmarillion/book-Hobbit. Go crazy on the Cabrera prompts! I won’t write smut and I prefer gen or background canon pairings, but I’ll write angst, whump, humor, platonic love, crossovers and AUs :D

(Enigma, I haven’t given up the Musketeers/Picard crossover, or the time travelling Vandermeer AU, or the Athos-Grimaud analysis, or the Prince of Persia translations xD I’m working on all of them - simultaneously - I swear! Don’t hesitate to yell at me from time to time, I need the motivation.)

quarantine ask game

tagged by the wonderful @why-this-kolaveri-machi

Are you staying home from school/work? I work from home, so my work routine hasn’t changed at all!

Who is at home with you? My flatmate (E).

Are you a homebody? Yes! A part of me actually enjoys having an excuse to not go anywhere 😅. Well, I do miss the gym and my dance group. And I just had tried out parkrun for the first time ...

Any event that you were looking forward to that got canceled? There were a couple of races I wanted to participate in ... But the big one is as yet uncertain: the Elfquest convention. If it gets cancelled and we don’t manage to organise some replacement get-together in the autumn or so, this would be the first year without it in 20 years 😭. (It’s at the end of May, so there’s still a slim chance but I’m not holding my breath.)

I’m also hoping that the whole thing is over before my vacation with my mom comes up in July!

What movies have you been watching recently? Actually, I haven’t watched a movie in months ... Which is not the pandemic’s fault 😛.

What are you doing for self care? I’m trying to stay at least somewhat active by going for walks and doing a daily yoga routine (which I have really neglected this week 😐). Chatting with the Homebound Bards, my writers’/creative people group, is also very good for me! Plus, like everyone else in this pandemic, I’m baking (bread) a lot.

Self-care that is actually self-destructive, despite all attempts of my brain to tell me otherwise: My eating is totally out of control 😑.

What shows are you watching? I just finished Aramis in Space Star Trek: Picard, which was fun for me despite the fact that all my Star Trek knowledge is thanks to cultural osmosis. I’m currently watching The Witcher (or trying to - it’s kinda fun and interesting but hasn’t really gripped me yet?) and the new Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes.

There was somewhat of a Leverage revival going on around here, so I watched some streams with that. Unfortunately, they’re mostly during times that are not feasible for me as a European 🙁.

What music have you been listening to? I don’t actually listen to music anymore, except for when I’m running ... Currently, I have a punk running playlist but I think I need to switch soon, it’s getting boring.

What books are you reading? I’m reading Imaginery Numbers by Seanan McGuire - actually finished the book itself, now I’m reading the novella that’s included in it. Loved it, did not really love the cliffhanger ...

It was actually part of a long InCryptid binge since I got the book from a Tumblr friend who had ordered it twice by mistake and had to catch up with the series before that. Now I’m a bit lost about what to read next ...

I tag @wren-berries, @29-pieces and @procrastinatorproject :)

Excerpt from this story from InsideClimate News:

In the last few months, online citizen science platforms have seen a boom in participation. Researchers who collaborate with volunteers cite several reasons for the uptick. Stay-at-home orders have hindered data collection for many field scientists, creating a need for crowd-sourced data. Many participants in citizen science initiatives are looking for ways to fill their time while homebound or furloughed from their jobs because of the pandemic. Others have been roused to fill the void left by cuts to environmental monitoring programs or to document the impact of the federal government's rollbacks of environmental protections. And barriers to public participation in science have fallen, thanks to low-cost equipment and apps that allow people to record and share their scientific observations.

Proponents of citizen science say community-based water and air monitoring is increasingly giving people the tools they need to identify issues and advocate for change in the face of environmental racism and relaxed pollution enforcement during Covid-19.

"There isn't enough environmental monitoring to begin with, and it will only decrease," said Eli Dueker, a professor of environmental and urban studies at Bard College. "So what we end up with is community scientists often working with research scientists to fill that gap. And that can be really effective because it allows communities to know the pollution hot spots with both air and water."

The volunteers on the June Zoom call with Amigos de Bolsa Chica ranged from undergraduate and community college students to retirees. They had varying levels of exposure to science, but shared a common interest in environmental conservation and a desire to fill in gaps in research. From their boxes on the computer screen, they asked detailed questions about the design of the study that will have them helping to measure the amount of fossil fuels burned during the pandemic, and suggested organizations and people across the state to bring on board.

Hi guys, can’t believe it’s Monday again, honestly.

Didn’t get any writing done last night, but hope to get back to that today after I run a couple errands. I did finish my art project and did a time-lapse vid of it, which was a lot of fun (always satisfying to watch those back lol)

Hope you’re all doing okay today :)

New Post has been published on https://magzoso.com/tech/house-arrest-review-ali-fazal-shriya-pilgaonkar-fall-in-love-in-lacklustre-homebound-rom-com/

House Arrest Review: Ali Fazal, Shriya Pilgaonkar Fall in Love in Lacklustre Homebound Rom-Com

In the late 1990s, Japanese psychologist Tamaki Saitō coined the term hikikomori to describe young adults who had withdrawn from society and largely confined themselves to their home, essentially turning themselves into modern-day hermits, so to speak. A 2018 study by the Japanese government found that nearly half of the hikikomori surveyed had lived in seclusion for at least seven years, with one third relying on their parents for money. It’s turning into a problem to reckon with for Japanese society, but there’s no easy way out. Getting hikikomori to open up can take months, and helping them through the trauma that forced them into isolation takes even more time, per a non-profit.

If you’re wondering what all that has to do with House Arrest — the new Netflix movie starring Ali Fazal and Shriya Pilgaonkar (Mirzapur) in the lead — that’s because the film relies on the concept of hikikomori for its premise. Well, a bit of it anyway. In truth, it’s just an excuse to cook up a homebound romantic comedy with the two leads. It’s clear that House Arrest doesn’t care to understand and convey the true depth of the problems faced by such shut-ins, because its exploration of said topic virtually ignores nearly every symptom displayed by hikikomori. By the end — if viewers will somehow even get there in the first place — its events are so unbelievable that it might as well call itself that.

The bigger problem for House Arrest, in storytelling terms, is that it’s only interested in the protagonist Karan’s (Fazal) external struggles — not the internal ones. Even in that regard, it’s unwilling or unable to go beyond the surface, as it repeatedly challenges Karan’s confinement to find out what it’ll take for him to leave his home. And in the hands of co-directors Shashanka Ghosh (Veere Di Wedding) and novelist Samit Basu, working off a script by Basu, House Arrest eventually falls back on a rushed cliché. Fazal and Pilgaonkar — their work and on-screen chemistry — are the only reason it’s watchable, but at 104 minutes, it’s over-stretched and heavily padded. It might be better off as a short film, if it had to be made.

House Arrest opens by giving us a look at Karan’s daily routine, which involves a mix of cleaning, cooking, and origami. In conversations with his best friend Jamshed “JD” Daneja (Jim Sarbh, from Neerja), a womaniser who constantly annoys Karan and tries to get him to leave the house, and a journalist Saira (Pilgaonkar), who’s researching hikikomori in India and is introduced to Karan by JD, he reveals he hasn’t left his home in Delhi for 279 days, over nine months. But for someone who claims to have little interest in talking to people or allow them into his home, it’s curious how Karan is constantly glued to his phone and makes little effort to wade off those who barge through the door.

As part of its external intrusions, House Arrest pushes an annoying neighbour in Pinky (Barkha Singh, from MTV Girls on Top), the sparkly daughter of a Dubai don, on Karan as well. (Pinky, and JD for the most part, fall into immediately-recognisable character tropes.) With the help of her extremely tall and well-built bodyguard, Pinky drops off a large pink suitcase with a man (Badrul Islam, from Daayen Ya Baayen) covered in bubble wrap stuffed inside at Karan’s place, because her cousins are coming over. This whole subplot, involving Pinky, her bodyguard, and the man-in-the-suitcase, is entirely frivolous. It has nothing to say on a big-picture level. It’s included to create a comedy of errors, and be the pivot that ends Karan’s homestay.

If a film insists on being plot-based rather than character-based — which it shouldn’t — as does House Arrest, the least it can do is make sure its events are interesting and meaningful. But the new Netflix film is merely filled with happenings for the sake of filling its unnecessary runtime. And making it more incredulous, it all somehow happens on the same day — the events of House Arrest last a single day in real-time — which would be enough to drive anyone mad, let alone a hikikomori. That compressed timespan not only renders Karan and Saira’s love story unrealistic, but in turn, it makes House Arrest’s ending just as unconvincing.

And in overly stuffing itself, House Arrest seems to betray itself on a philosophical level of sorts. Its lead characters espouse the wonders of being alone, and the film is wants to be about people who have withdrawn from society. But clearly, the makers themselves couldn’t commit to it. Theoretically, it would be a lot more interesting to imagine a story with just Karan in it, as would have been the case on most of those other 278 days. That would also make it a more internal story. As it is though, the lacklustre House Arrest follows the recent trend of irresponsible to indefensible Indian originals in Bard of Blood and Drive. It’s hard to fathom why Netflix is willing to hurt its brand so, though it’s making a terrific case for Indians to stop subscribing, if this is how their money is going to be put to use.

House Arrest is out November 15 on Netflix worldwide.

The 65th annual Obie Awards will be streamed on June 4th, with host irreverent and scrawny comedian Cole Escola. “I am honored the American Theatre Wing made the mistake of asking me to host the Obies,” said Escola. “I am so excited to celebrate the great work Off- and Off-Off-Broadway, and to see my name on the Obies Wikipedia page on a list of hosts that includes Elaine May and Shelley Winters.”

#Stageworthy News of the Week.

Ten weeks after the governor shut down all theaters in New York City, signs point to widespread expectation that they won’t reopen until Spring 2021. Some of these signs are subtle, such as the announcement that, on June 7th, the night that had been reserved for the 74th Annual Tony Awards before it was canceled, the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing have decided to go ahead with an hour-long “event” – a celebration and a fundraiser – that will be streaming on TonyAwards.com and the new platform BroadwayonDemand.com — as if to acknowledge that it is not plausible for the actual Tonys to be rescheduled in 2020.

(In other award news, the American Theatre Wing just announced that the Obie Awards will be a pre-recorded ceremony that will stream on the Wing’s YouTube channel on June 4th.)

Another sign of a delayed reopening of physical theaters in New York is the interview that Broadway League president Charlotte St. Martin gave to The Daily Beast, declaring that her “optimistic” date for Broadway’s reopening is January 2021 – which is four months later than the League’s latest official end-date of September 6 for the Broadway shutdown (announced earlier this month.) And the phrasing heavily implies that the more realistic date is at least a year after the March shutdown. “We can’t socially distance the cast and crew in these 100-year-old-plus buildings,” St. Martin said. “And we can’t afford to socially distance the audience.”

This is more or less the assessment (with just a few exceptions) of the concert promoters, theater presenters, heads of orchestras and of dance companies who talked to the New York Times (The Fall of Autumn: Live Performance Producers Are Giving Up on 2020)

Online Theater IS Theater

Meanwhile, the redefining of theater is proceeding apace. Symbolic of the advances is the announcement just now that Play-Perview, a platform created during the shutdown which has been presenting original, live one-time-only readings online, will present Will Arbery’s Pulitzer finalist play “Heroes of the Fourth Turning” online June 13. And it’s not alone in suggesting what online theater can be (See reviews below, especially of “Mad Forest” and “The Sentinels.”) Just the fact that so many more theater companies are scheduling original plays online in advance is a

Itamar Moses

sign of changing attitudes.

As playwright Itamar Moses told me earlier this week: “Sure, people are trying to figure out ways of presenting theatre, remotely, over screens right now, but it isn’t the absence of a screen that makes something theatre. “Theatre is when something is performed, in real time, for an audience that is also watching it in real time, while gathered in the same space — and all that’s really happening right now is an expansion of the definition of what we mean by ‘space’ to include virtual space….It’s our awareness of the aliveness and presence of the actors and our fellow audience members that makes something theatre and if being present together in a virtual space is the form this moment demands then we will, by necessity, develop techniques for maximizing the power of that form, maybe allowing it to become a legitimate off-shoot of theatre in its own right.”

Week in Online Theater Reviews

Is This a Play Yet by Marco Ramirez performed by Utkarsh Ambudkar

Homebound Project 2

Mary-Louise Parker introduces us to the second edition of The Homebound Project, an hour-long online collection of 11 new short plays, by explaining that the theme this time is “sustenance,” and lists “the many ways we sustain and fortify ourselves…. shelter, our vocations, charity, activism, and also food.”

She doesn’t mention the arts.

And, honestly, this second batch of plays in the series, with just a couple of exceptions, didn’t generally provide as much sustenance for me as the first edition. In place of the first edition’s frequent sense of playfulness, as well as relatively straightforward stories of connection and longing, there are darker and less accessible works reminiscent of the spare and despairing plays of Samuel Beckett. Mad Forest

Bard’s splendidly glitchy production of “Mad Forest,” Caryl Churchill’s fascinating avant-garde drama about the 1989 Romanian Revolution, is the first live play I’ve seen since the shutdown that attempts a full staging via Zoom. Rather than just reading the stage directions, the twelve actors enact them – a mother slaps her son; friends share a piece of chocolate, and lie down together on a lawn; a couple hug one another; the members of a wedding party get into a massive group brawl — although each of the actors, all undergraduates at Bard, are performing remotely from locations across the country where they are sheltering. Presented live and free Theatre for a New Audience in collaboration with Fisher Center at Bard (with another one scheduled for Wednesday at 3), the show was a revelation, and something of a revolution itself, suggesting new paths forward for online theater.

Love Letters

Bryan Cranston and Sally Field performed live on May 21, 2020 in A.R. Gurney’s two-character play about a man and woman writing to one another over half a century, starting at the age of seven. This was the third in a series of new live-streamed productions of old plays produced by Broadway’s Best Shows.

The 1988 play seems ideal for online theater. Even when it was on Broadway — as it was twice, the last time in 2014 (my review)– there was no scenery or costumes, and the actors stayed seated at a table the whole time and read from scripts without ever looking at each other. It still managed to be terrifically entertaining and surprisingly moving.

The Sentinels

“The Sentinels,” a new 9/11 play by Matthew Lopez, was worth your time — well-acted, touching, appealing in part because of its very modesty — and it demonstrated a few things to me. A play can be well-directed, in this case by Rebecca Taichman (Tony-winner for Indecent) even when presented neck-up via Zoom.

Book Review: Playwrights on Television: Conversations with Dramatists.

Hillary Miller, an assistant professor of theater at Queens College, City University of New York, has put together 18 Q and A transcripts, arranged alphabetically, from interviews she conducted between October 2018 and April 2019. The playwrights she selected reflect “a broad definition of diversity” – including in the balance between their onstage and onscreen experiences and identity, from Madeleine George, who at the time of Miller’s interview with her in December 2018 had been a playwright for 25 years ( The Curious Case of the Watson Intelligence, Hurricane Diane), and a TV writer for ten weeks, to Tanya Saracho, showrunner for Starz TV series “Vida,” who tells Miller “ I have left the theater, consciously” (or Tanya Barfield, who tells Miller: “Maybe after my kids go to college, I’ll go back to playwriting. That’s a while off.”) Surely, a few of them would have something to say about our sudden era of online theater. In one way, then, Miller’s book is the victim of unlucky timing. But in another way, some of the issues that the author does explore are as good a prompt as any to thinking about the current crossbreeding of media and what may be in store.

Rules: Tag 9 people whom you want to know better/catch up with, and then answer these questions

(sorry, I’m rubbish at tagging people ;] )

I (or rather my sideblog) was tagged by @highfunctioningflailgirl but I’m answering from here since this is more of a personal post...

3 ships: Iiiiiii don’t actually ship? Not really? I guess, following the addage that you ship a character you identify with and characters you find attractive, I ship Agnes (ST:Picard) with getting some proper therapy...

Last song: on my phone: “Hunger” (Florence + the Machine), since I’ve been listening to the four Florence albums on shuffle. Technically: the neighbours have been blasting oldies in their garden, so “Bright Eyes” by... let me google this... Art Garfunkel! Huh, didn’t know that. (I also didn’t know Watership Down was released in 1978. WHAT?!?!)

Currently reading: Aaaaahahahaha, reading. I haven’t been able to read anything in quite a while, the brain is very “meh” on the whole concept. I really want to read @thelaithlyworm‘s Phantom of the Opera/BBC Musketeers crossover “The Three Phantoms”, but alas. Soon! Other than that, I’m mostly (proof)reading transcriptions of Old English homilies from the 11th and 12th century, because work XD

Currently watching: Umbrella Academy Season 2; Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (extensive youtube back-catalogue); Star Trek: Picard (I started from the beginning again a few days ago, but even apart from that it’s mostly the scenes set on La Sirena because I need to look stuff up for mapping. I do have every second of Sirena footage screencapped, but I’ve also scrubbed through those scenes so many times for reference that I recently realized I can recite the dialogue by heart when the sound is turned off. Whoops.)

Currently craving: RAIN! PLEASE! And a drop in temperatures. Even just a drop to a high of 29° would be fine, just PLEASE no more 35°. PLEASE! (There is a chance it might cool off on Thursday. Or maybe Friday. Or maybe never. Just... I’m not even asking for 25°, just less than 30!)

I’m not gonna tag people, but if my Homebound Bards or writing mutuals feel so inclined, have at it! I’d always love to know more about you! <3
