#but I mustn't

[landwriter]

🌹 please I love your writing

“I have blooded my steel on many men,” said Hob. “But never has it tasted the blood of a fey. Do you bleed? What flows in your veins? Do you have a heart that beats? Or are you like a stone, the same all-through?”

---

thank you so much!! this is from a much-future chapter of oaths because i got really excited about the scene one night and got ahead of myself. at a certain point Hob will meet the faerie queen, and he will not be hinged about it, friends. he will not be hinged at all. he is here to fuck around and find out in the most bloodthirsty of ways. he is here to be a menacing fucker and he has come PREPARED

#asks #the sandman #dreamling #dream x hob #wip excerpt #oaths #the incredible temptation to share the whole scene #vibrating with it #but i mustn't #i mustn't!!!!

Me: *deep into Bleach to help with the two stories I'm currently writing* *makes the mistake of reading a time travel fic*

My brain: ooh, look at all these ideas! Write them down, write them down!

Me, scribbling frantically: yes, but you know we can't do any of these now, right?

Brain: eh?

Me: we've got two other fics going already, we need to channel our Bleach energies into those two. Besides *waves paper* none of these even have a plot! No time travel!

Brain:

Brain: so write an academy fic without the time travel.

Me: NO! WE'RE BUSY! WE'VE GOT ACTUAL FICS ALREADY!

Brain: AMNESIA TIME TRAVEL!

Me: NO!

Brain: AMNESIA SOUL KING POST APOCALYPSE TIME TRAVEL!

Brain, chanting: time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel time travel TIME TRAVEL

Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

#mmmmm #lying down is so enticing #but i mustn't #i should've gone to have that nap at noon #i was already feeling it then and I've just grown progressively more scrungled since noon #gonna start dozing off sitting up in the next few hours i can feel it

It’s always funny when anglo writers looking to express a specific idea casually pluck a cool ready-made monosyllabic phrase from their language’s unlimited supply and Romance language translators just curl up in the fœtal position and cry. I'm reading a text in which the American author talks about ‘Haves’ vs ‘Have-Nots’ vs ‘Have-Mosts’ —the poor French translator translated this as ‘ceux-qui-ont’ (the French language: don’t worry I’m just getting warmed up), ‘ceux-qui-n’ont-pas’ (nice we’ve doubled the syllable count but we mustn’t falter), and the beautiful ‘ceux-qui-ont-plus-que-tous-les-autres’ (300% expansion ratio let’s gooo! we did it great work everybody.) From 2 to 8 syllables—the minute I saw that bulky thing I knew it had to be Have-Mosts in the original and I was giggling. The anglo author happily proceeds to use the phrase ‘Have-Mosts’ 5 times per paragraph because why not! it’s so quick and wieldy :) we don’t actually need the word wieldy 'cause it’s just the normal state of our language <3 meanwhile you can feel the French translator’s desperation grow as she is reduced to juggling with “those” and “the latter” to avoid summoning her creature. Eventually she reaches the acceptance stage and uses ceux-qui-ont-plus-que-tous-les-autres again like, it’s my monster. I shouldn’t reject it

#language tag #and when anglo authors use a somewhat long and clunky phrase french translators are like no that's our thing? #they're trying to steal our thing. we have no choice but to make the phrase even longer and clunkier. perfidious albion mustn't win this #like how He Who Must Not Be Named went from 6 to 12 syllables in the french HP translation (RIP voice actors who had to dub it) #even though there were shorter options? but i suspect the translator picked the 12 syllable one due to #our national obsession with alexandrine metre

What if we were gay dogs holding hands while looking at art in the museum. JK. Unless...

.

#hhhhh noo they're so small and so cute #you could fit them in a match box together #they absolutely do go to museums #Vasco looks really nice in all white #the rolled up sleeves as well #and I like how you added just a tiniest bit of red on the bottoms of Machete's shoes #mustn't forget the Louboutins #I hope they're having good time #gift art #praeter-coetus #own characters #Vasco #Machete #they're holding hands ;n;

So it was established in the last episode that Taylor still believes in Santa (tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it's come up prior to this ep too but anyways-) so... Do you think (saint) Nicky been has portalling in every year since the betrayal to sneak in a gift for his son amongst the pile? That Cassandra doesn't even notice because it's just one among the many many presents she herself has bought and wrapped? But every year without fail... Taylor gets one gift that simply says "from: Nick" and well, obviously that has to mean it's from Santa (a conclusion which Nicky expects him to come to, and why he can sign his name at all, though he misses when he could just write "dad"). And one year when he's still quite young, a sleepy little Taylor actually catches Nicky in the act, and Nicky wishes more than anything that he could just *stay*, but instead he only softly tells Taylor to go back to bed, and Taylor thinks that Santa is a lot younger and a bit sadder than he expected, but what's he gonna do- not listen to Santa Claus? So he smiles meekly at the man he does not know to be his father, and hurriedly heads back to his room.

Also yes of course Nicky eats the fucking cookies left out of course he's not gonna pass up on free cookies (which are home-baked to top it off) come on that's a given.

#at my conspiracy board like ''he sees you when you're sleeping... he knows when you're awake- just like Nicky watching Taylor from Hell!'' #dndads #dungeons and daddies #nick foster #I'm sure I mustn't be the only person who's proposed a headcanon to this effect but anyways in light of recent events! #and Taylor asks Nicky what kind of cookies he likes and Nicky says ''oatmeal raisin'' and Taylor says ''gross'' #but insists on putting those ones out next year and every year after that #nicky freeman #taylor swift dndads #highkey knowing Nicky and the dumbass shenanigans he gets wrapped up in he would do something to accidentally become the real santa claus #like he shows up to the wrong house one year and gets spotted #so then in his mind he has to show up to *both* houses next year #but then the kid from the other house tells all their friends #and what is he gonna do- not get gifts for all of them too? that wouldn't be fair. #you see where I'm going with this? #dndads holiday special starring Nicky in the tale of how he became saint nick #I won't lie to you folks the Closes and Swifts are basically the only reason I care at all about this holiday haha #(though happy holidays to all of you celebrating- whatever you're celebrating!) #''but you're hosting a holiday event!'' YEAH AND LOOK WHO IT'S FOR LOL #(back at my conspiracy board) santa... is just an anagram for satan... it all makes sense!

"...What is it?" "The drums...they mean trouble. I shouldn't be here—" "I want to see you again—" "I can't—" "Please don' t leave—" "—I'm sorry." "..." "...I have to go now."

it was written that I would love you

close your eyes and I'll kiss you

when I'm with you I want to stay there

i'm in love and it's a sunny day

now i'll never dance with another

i can't tell you how I feel

i'll do anything for you, anything you want me to

and it doesn't really matter if I'm wrong I'm right

i'd like to stand in a stream with you

lift up your hearts and sing me a song

love is long, love is long

and I love her

we believe that we can't be wrong

we can do what we want, we can live as we choose

and I need love, yeah I need love

i don't see the point resisting your temptation

do you don't you want me to love you

well you can come on to my place if you want to

gonna get hi hi hi in the midday sun

lady let's eat in bed

no one will be watching us

i don't need a true romancer

make love to me and make it right

tonight I just want to stay in, and be with you, and be with you

deep in love, not a lot to say

sing it loud, so I can hear you

i'm in love with a friend of mine

it's understood, it's everywhere with my love

watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

there beneath the blue suburban skies

the rain exploded with a mighty crash

and we was hard pressed to find a smile

well you know i nearly broke down and died

we’ve been travelling for a long time and we finally finished here

ahh, look at all the lonely people

there’s no one left at home, and I believe I’m gonna rain

somedays I don't, I don't believe that you are mine

and in the middle of the celebrations I break down

a lonely man who's in the middle of something

a love that should have lasted years

who in the world can be right, all the right time

once there was a way to get back home

love was such an easy game to play

day after day, alone on the hill

leaving the note that she hoped would say more

some day you'll know I was the one

now what can be done for you

i don't know why you say goodbye

all of the clocks have run down, time's at an end

friday night arrives without a suitcase

and I'm still stranded, wondering why

the drachma's very weak, but everyone's still trading

far away my lover sings a lonely song

so sad so sad sometimes she feels so sad

but as for me, i still remember how it was before

something inside of me says the bad news isn't so

i'm waiting, can’t you see me, I’m waiting

why do you fight that feeling in your heart

why leave me standing here, let me know the way

you will always be holding, holding my heart in your hand

people are ready to forgive a few mistakes

take a sad song and make it better

the swan is gliding above the ocean

we could stand on top of a mountain with our flag unfurled

we can cure each others sorrow

you want a love to last forever

when I lay me down will my lover love me still

i hope it's never too late

- - Paul McCartney

#please remember these are just some emotions he imagined one lazy afternoon in a cupboard - they're not real #you mustn't think his 500 song quilt of waiting and missing and confused yearning *means* anything #I drafted this last year for Paul's 80th but then I forgot about it #he has written a lot of very beautiful things and I love him #there are about 65 songs here - there were going to be 80 but that feels a bit arbitrary now it's not a birthday #I haven't double checked that they're all different songs #they were meant to be but I kept losing track of which songs were actually all the same song - the same song being little lamb dragon fly #paul mccartney #mclennon #lyrics #the beatles #[]
