#The Barker Parrot

[tenth-sentence]

A huge parrot swooped in front of her, speaking in tongues, then flitted away.

"Weaveworld" - Clive Barker

#book quote #weaveworld #clive barker #parrot #speaking in tongues #flying #swooping

[the-hearth-and-the-wild]

She would live out her days at Auchnasaugh, a bookish spinster attended by cats and parrots, until that time when she might become ethereal, pure spirit untainted by the woes of flesh, a phantom drifting with the winds. What fun she would have as a ghost. She could hardly wait.

So I found something fascinating (and only like 5 days late)—

In the September 26th entry from Seward, I saw a lot of people chatting about immortal parrots. A funny idea to us now, but I can’t be the only one who’s seen how long-lived they really are.

Anyway I just picked up Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, which was published serially between 1881-1882, and found this funny bit:

And the annotation noted there (this is a 2014 publication with introduction and notes from Simon Barker-Benfield) is this:

So while I haven’t gone out of my way to do further research on this “immortal parrots” thing, I’m beginning to believe that this was maybe just a belief of the time? Or there’s some twisted bit of reference in Dracula to this, but again: haven’t looked into it and I wouldn’t know.

Still, it’s funny I’ve run into this twice this week. I’ve read Dracula before and didn’t give it a second thought last time, apparently.

crying about this clive barker interview again 😭😭😭

it's the way he talks about things with such love, and mick garris is a fantastic interviewer and they know each other so well. listen if you want to hear him talk w great affection for his pet parrot and also about how even as a successful author who was not keeping his queerness a secret his publishers tried to insist he take the queerness out of his books, among other things

#original content #its really very emotional

[realhankmccoy]

Q: Hank, so you're saying that Trump told his cucks to be absolutely free of any liberal's control and they swallowed it wholesale just like Americans always did just like their daddies did when Reagan tried that one

and you're saying his cucks immediately fell under this spell and parrot it en masse?

A: Yep. The irony is his cucks are far more under social control than everyone who rejected Trump's methodology.... just like their daddies who swallowed Reagan's lines about freedom from government and control did. This time it's more about an overt love of violence though -- a lot of the violence is carnival barker stuff, like at Trump's rallies when he talks about knocking them out on their asses or like a Tarantino film about the giggly kiddie game of violence.

America's cucks are very, very, very (to emulate their very stable genius cuckmaster) easily cucked and will say the magic words that the power brokers want them to say.

That's how you keep capital free and the straight white man free.

The rest -- it's just glee for the cucks to go to battle against the rest, mindlessly and endlessly. They crave it for reasons that make them feel Strong and Good, much like a Klansmen felt strong and good for lynching a black. Nobody acts that way because they feel weak and naughty or weak and bad.

That's how you keep blacks poor and out of the picture, as they do, and women below men and gays below straights, as they do.

The occasional tokenism of the opposite that these people might perform is a drop in the bucket compared to their overwhelming wall of being a cuck and wringing hands for the straight white male, fretting and imploring everyone toughen up just like Trump and the Proud Boys fret and implores for it.

If they happen to be a female who's cucked, perhaps they're a bit pro-female while disinterested in black or gay issues

If they happen to be a gay who's cucked, perhaps they're a bit pro-gay while disinterested in black or female issues

Simple and predictable stuff for simple and predictable people.

whissey kissy kittey..........but New Friend

[ao3 link]

Barker watches in blatant horror as Blisk opens the door to reveal a massive, hulking metal frame on the other side. Even Whiskey catches on that something is wrong: she hunkers down in her box and covers her kittens with the bulk of her body. Sabre, meanwhile, leaps out and towards the stranger. That must mean she knows them, right?

He stays silent as the specter frame with a good extra foot of height walks in as Blisk holds the door open. The jet-black metal plating is somewhat covered by a tattered old leather jacket. The sensors on its head are, quite obviously, locked right on Barker.

“So, yeah, I forgot to mention,” Blisk explains casually, as if Barker isn’t metaphorically planning out his dying wishes as he stands in his own home, “Scar here was meant to be a part of the bundle.” He claps a hand on the specter’s--Scar’s--shoulder. “You can quit mean-mugging him, by the way.”

Scar instantly relents. “I do apologize,” a surprisingly soft baritone voice speaks, “for the rather harsh first impression of myself.” Scar holds a metal-skeletal hand out to Barker. “I’m sure you understand that in our typical line of business Blisk is not a particularly…favored contender.”

“I am too, actually,” Blisk interjects. “You’re just very overprotective.”

Scar tilts his head. “You’re hired to kill people. That’s not necessarily a job looked upon highly.”

Barker has to bite his lip to keep from smirking at the banter.

“A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.” Blisk snaps, seemingly irritated that his grand reveal has led to him being chastised. He turns back to Barker. “He’s here because I have to have my own safety standards, as you can tell. You have that MRVN. I have Scar.”

“Blisk, friend,” Scar asks after a pause. “How did you end up here? Did our friend offer shelter?”

“No, I did not,” Barker interrupts Blisk opening his mouth to speak. “He showed up, threatened my life, and moved himself in.”

Scar seems appalled. “You--! You said he was a friend, someone that you’ve known since Demeter!”

“I have known him since Demeter,” Blisk clarifies. “He’s one of the runts that defected with that jackass MacAllan guy when things got too intense. I figured he owned me.”

Hearing MacAllan’s name taken in vain instantly makes Barker tense up. “Don’t you ever speak of him that way again,” he seethes, visibly angry. “He was my best friend, you bastard.”

“Yeah? He was a traitor, too,” Blisk counters. “You were as well. Why should I be respectful to him?”

Scar puts himself between the two men. “Because our friend here--I apologize again, I did not quite catch your name. Do tell?”

Barker says his name through gritted teeth.

Scar nods to him in acknowledgement. “Because our friend Barker owns the house you are taking refuge in,” he elaborates pointedly, like a parent scolding an unruly child, “and while you disagree with his past, he still deserves your respect.” The specter glares at Blisk.

“I don’t give a rat’s ass!” Blisk growls. “He--”

“He is letting you stay here, not that it sounds like you gave him any choice in the matter.” Scar claps a hand over Blisk’s mouth before he can make things any worse. “You may not be privy to it, but we owe him.”

When the tension between them still doesn’t let up any, Sabre steps in. She twines between Scar’s metal ankles. “Mrowah!” she says eloquently. Scar keeps his hand over Blisk’s face as he stoops over to pick her up.

“Oh, hello, dear!” Scar’s voice takes a kind and light lilt to it as he holds the cat close to him. “It seems she’s been handling things well.”

Barker wants to retort that she had actually just stolen one of his (cat’s) kittens earlier, but manages to bite back. “She’s a much better houseguest than your friend,” he settles on saying.

“Understandable.” Scar looks around. “Sabre isn’t too much of a disturbance, is she?”

“Her?” Barker parrots. “No. She fits right in.”

“In what manner?”

“Go look in the box,” Blisk hints. 

Scar looks at Barker for permission to go further into his apartment before quietly padding over to peer in. “I see what you mean.” He looks to Barker again, hand out, waiting for permission again. Barker nods to him, leading the specter to slowly and carefully reaching inside to let Whiskey sniff his metal fingers.

She has absolutely no such thing in mind.

As soon as Scar’s fingers are in range, she swats furiously. Barker can hear her growling from where he’s at by the door, which urges him to scuttle over. Her ears are still pinned back and her face is wrinkled in a snarl as he approaches.

“I’m so sorry!” Barker apologizes emphatically. “She hasn’t done that before, with anyone. Except the vet. She hated the vet. Still, though.”

Scar rumbles warmly. “I do understand. She has a litter to look out for, and I am a stranger in her home.”

“Yeah, but…” Barker trails off. “Why doesn’t she like you but she loves him?” He gestures at Blisk. “You’re so much more--” he fumbles for words (he wants it to hit Blisk like a punch) “--tolerable.”

“She has her reasons.” 

They all watch as Sabre skitters over at Whiskey’s angry noises, nosing into the box. When Whiskey doesn’t calm down, Scar respectfully steps away, letting Sabre in. Sabre is quick to try to calm the orange cat down, licking between her flattened ears and purring.

Scar leans towards Barker to whisper lowly to him. “I understand their relationship all too well, my friend. Blisk is quite bristly with people as well.”

Barker can hear Blisk scoff across the room. “For good reason!”

“Yes, ‘for good reason’,” Scar mimics. He heaves a faux sigh. “I promise you, I will keep him in check as best as I can, Barker. I’m quite sorry you had to deal with that sort of introduction with him in the first place.”

Barker hums distractedly. He’s decided he likes Scar. Scar is polite and understanding, respects his space and opinions, and--best of all--freely and openly chides at Blisk’s expense.

He can deal with this, he thinks.

Hello, everyone! I know I mostly post writing here on this account, but I’ve become interested in drawing, and I really wanted to share what I just completed! This is the Barker Parrot, located on the outside of the Enchanted Tiki Room at various Disney parks. I saw him in Funko Pop! form recently, and fell in love with his design! I’ve also become super interested in the style, locations, rides and characters of the Disney parks, so if you all have any suggestions, feel free to send them to my inbox! I’ll try not to overload you all too much. 💓
