Đền thờ Oracle ở Delphi - đền thờ thần mặt trời Apollo và có một đặc điểm rất thú vị. Cũng như ở nhiều vùng có núi lửa, trên mặt đất ở đây có một khe nứt ngày đêm có chất khí lạ thoát ra. Nếu hít phải khí này thì đầu óc chúng ta sẽ mụ mị và ta sẽ chuyển sang trạng thái như say rượu hoặc mê sảng đến nỗi liên tục lảm nhảm những lời vô nghĩa.

Thế mà với người Hy Lạp, những lời nói vô nghĩa đó lại rất kỳ bí, người Hy Lạp cho rằng lúc đó thần thánh mượn miệng người trần để nói. Vậy là họ chọn một cô gái làm thầy cúng, đặt tên là Pythia và cho ngồi trên một cái kiềng ba chân đặt ngay trên vết nứt để những thầy cúng khác đi quanh, lắng nghe những lời lảm nhảm vô nghĩa của cô gái đó và suy đoán tương lai.

Mỗi khi gặp khó khăn trong cuộc sống người Hy Lạp từ mọi miền hành hương về Delphi để hỏi ý thần Apollo. Câu trả lời thường rất mập mờ và muốn suy diễn kiểu gì cũng được. Cho đến ngày nay, trong tiếng anh tính từ "Oracular" - bắt nguồn từ danh từ "Oracle" - vẫn được dùng để miêu tả một câu trả lời mơ hồ khó hiểu.

‘Everyone’s got an idea for a movie’ well this is mine, which I will license to the nearest screenwriter in exchange for credit and $1 - I just want to see it as a medium-budget streaming movie someday. The movie is entitled ‘Full Fusc’ and is based on the Oxbridgian rumor of the same name. In brief, the regulations for academic dress state that the clothes under the gown must be ‘subfusc’, which has a mythical counterpart in ‘full fusc’, which is a suit of armor, and if worn to finals, automatically results in a First. The film has the protagonist encounter the rumor, acquire some armor (mystical?), and instead of normal exams, they are launched on a magical quest to prove their mettle and save scholarship (and England, god for harry and St. George etc.). They have to fight the snake from the McSweeney article about the snake fight portion of the thesis defense, speak to an oracular boar’s head in a secret vault under the Radcliffe Camera, fight a sinister cabal of porters under an evil dean, probably shoehorn some druids or a unicorn in there…

...my entire grad school cohort will buy tickets, thank you.

WIP Game

tagged by @uniquevoidflowers, thank you Uni! (Starting a new chain cause that was getting long, lol). Name of the game is I tell everyone the names of my WIPs and y'all can ask me about them. Sounds fun!

Legend of Zelda / LU:

This Is An Adjuration: currently updating, original linkverse story with character designs from LU. Slow burn tragedy / platonic love story.

Winds of War: working title, most likely going to change. Wind's Adjuration Epilogue

Fractured: working title, probably going to change. The surviving Colors’ Adjuration Epilogue

[Redacted]'s Adjuration Epilogue, yet unnamed

[Other Redacted]'s Adjuration Epilogue, still no name

[Another redacted Link]'s Adjuration Epilogue, it'll get a name when I nail down the vibes

Emerald: Backstory Ravioli oneshot, unrelated to Adjuration technically, but set in that verse. Like, the context for this art right here.

Vidow oneshots. Like 4 or five of them.

Game Over. Continue? : a choose your own adventure LU Dungeon crawl.

Like three Ravioli PWPs that I might be convinced to post under my handle instead of anonymous author

Star Trek:

The Actual Wrath of Khan: second to last installment in the Doubt the Stars 'verse. Co-written with @straight-outta-hobbiton, and will update when we make our brains sync again. So... *shrugs*

The Oracular Refrain: timeloop ST 2009 fix-it fic.

Call Me When you Get There: also co-written with Hobbit. It's getting a full re-write at some point, maybe by myself if friend doesn't want to go back to it.

Original Fiction:

The Prisoners of Terra

Lost En Route

What's Up with Arleta?

That... is a lot more than I thought it was going to be. Huh. Neat! Okay, now I tag.... (with no pressure!)

@straight-outta-hobbiton @needfantasticstories @hotcheetohatredwastaken @life-in-winter @mika-13 @unexpectedstormy @kisnroses and literally anyone who sees this and wants to play!

tonight i kept waking up from dreams through my sleeping medication haze. first i dreamt i was in the line of succession for a throne, but i was murdered by one of my scheming sisters. through sheer rage and perhaps a necromancer i was revived, but my head was rather unseemly and disfigured so i carved out a portion of my own chin and lips and replaced them with blood red stone. this made speaking difficult, but possible. walking was harder: it felt like when your legs go dead numb and you try to move them, and instead end up flinging them about and near collapsing under your own weight, except my entire body was like this. (i think i may have been trying to sleepwalk, and the struggle was from this.) but i was so angry that i kept dragging myself like some ungodly puppet. i was so angry that this was my unlife now, for ever, doomed to fight against my body to do the simplest tasks, because of some birthright i did not choose. i'm sure it has nothing to do with my real circumstances!

anyway, later in the night, i dreamt of creeping out of the wings of a dusty ballet stage, going to join my mom in the empty aisle of the theatre; we went out on an errand to buy flowers for my grandmother, in a town that looked like a faded and peeling illustration of moulin rouge's paris - more like a scenery for a play than a real place. at the flower stall, while the seller wrapped the bouquet in brown paper, i discreetly asked for some flowers for my mother as well; i got her a sprig of forget-me-nots, to give her later. when we were walking back, there was a decaying house on a streetcorner with a line of iron nails going up a wall. my mother jovially made her way up, using each single tiny nail as a ladder step, floating weightlessly up, and i called after her because i knew i couldn't follow. i woke up then, too.

and yesterday i dreamt that my grandmother had died, but she had amicably returned to visit and we treated her as an honourable guest. she had one last very important thing to teach me before leaving. i either forgot, or awoke before we got there. (my grandmother is alive, and i should really go visit her.)

#ką sako lapė #it's worrisome that i'm having such trouble staying asleep even medicated. fascinating oracular dreams! would still rather sleep! #esp. the possible sleepwalking episode.... very not good #i used to be a big sleepwalker as a child #dream journal
