Hey guys.

I'm moving really soon and I'm almost done packing but I'm one of those people who has issues finishing things (I've read the ending to my favoritest book ever, The Hobbit, twice out of all the times I've read it).

But I wanted to say to everyone who was forced to move out for whatever reason, y'all are awesome and strong and I'm really scared of this but I know if you guys can do it I can too. We're all gonna be OK.

Day 69

Since the main poster can't keep himself in check, I'll be making today's post. Enkidu has not done anything wrong, and I don't want to hear any comments about the number of days we've been counting it.

heehee... the funny sex number... hehehahaha...

Anyway, thinking a lot now about the new Gilgamesh tablet from 2018 and how to approach it. Apparently Farouk Al-Rawi (one of the guys who translated the 2014 fragment that revealed Humbaba knew Enkidu before their big battle and was even excited to see him again) is working on an article about it, so I’m very excited to see what that says.

Tl;dr - pussy game insane

SO........... hey girl u up 😏 i have a folder on my computer labeled “memes for when i inevitably return to gilposting” but i couldn’t decide on just one so i’m posting several, you’re welcome a lot’s happened since... *checks watch* december 13th 2019, but the important part is that gilgamesh is a thing that exists, so i’m just gonna let that carry me to the end of whatever this is. i’ve been semi-active on the blog’s discord server (which you can find here) but i’ve sort of abandoned this blog since the house fire, and the pandemic, and me moving across the country, and... well, yeah that just about sums it up /・_・\ my almost year-long hiatus comes to an end at last, no japes this time tl;dr: DEATH GRIPS (ME) IS BACK ONLINE

#i would've loved to come back sooner but it's just been... yeah #this blog's missed a lot of potential activity lol whatever though #man I MISS YELLING #I MISS YOU GUYS #this blog was a really positive influence on my mood and mental health so it feels really good to actually return to it #instead of just checking it once in a blue moon like i've been doing #i can't wait to infodump on you guys again haha #not a relatable picture of gilgamesh #the gilgamod chronicles

Day 175

We've been watching a lot of old slasher movies lately, and have been having a great time of it! While Gil refuses to admit he really has a favorite as of yet, I have a few suspicions as to what it might be >:-) What are some of your servants' favorite movies or shows, if they have any? We're looking for more fun stuff to watch :-DD Though, for Enkidu, I think it'd be mostly nature documentaries...

#we love that for them #gilposting #'this stupid as hell. i saw that twist a mile away' ok well u didnt talk at all while we were watching it. goober #has enkidu done anything wrong #fate series #fate enkidu #fate strange fake #fate grand order #fgo enkidu #fgo #absolute demonic front babylonia #fate babylonia #fgo babylonia

I’m so angry. I’m gonna post about ancient Mesopotamian gay bears until I’m not angry anymore.

By making Enkidu Gilgamesh's friend, the composer has turned the Epic into a tale of growth-of discovery of human suffering, limitation, death, and, finally, human meaning. Without Enkidu's death, there is no development.

3, 20, and 25!

How has the WIP changed between starting it and where it is now?

I’m gonna use the Gilgamesh WIP for these, if you don’t mind. Technically I’ve been working on this since 2017 when I first wrote a poem in response to the 2014 tablet, so it’s obviously changed from poetry to prose, but right now it’s gotten a structural overhaul too to be more cohesive and linear than the short story collection I was kinda planning it to be (think a certified AU vs Lost Books of the Odyssey). I’ve also had to rethink my approach to retelling this material and my priorities with it,  but it’s cracked the story wide open to tons of new possibilities!

What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

Hmm, I would say the most common writing tip I follow is to get everything out of your head -- some of my favorite writing for this WIP (and characterization for Humbaba, some of which I revamped for my flash fiction submission to a UK contest) has been written on my phone in the middle of the night. I feel like a lot of people feel pressured to write chronologically, but honestly in the rough draft stage, it’s more important to simply have words on paper. Even if it’s a just a few lines or a single bit of dialogue, it’s better to get it out than let it crystallize and die in your head.

What authors and books have inspired you to write your work?

The most obvious influence on this project is Gilgamesh by Stephen Mitchell, which is the version I had to read for my class. “Gilgamesh and Huwawa” has also been very influential in the recent plot developments, with Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend’s Hamlet’s Mill for some of Humbaba’s physicality. 

There are obviously tons of “modern AU” retellings of classics, but something like Derek Jarman’s Edward II (both movie and annotated script which I actually own two copies of, lmao) is definitely inspiring for anyone wanting to bring the past “out of the closet,” as it were. I’ve also looked towards Julie Taymor’s Titus for the aesthetic inspiration of “What if this ancient society progressed into the modern day?”

I know the question said books/authors but those are adaptations of Elizabethan plays so don’t @ me.
