                              SEXUAL TENSION PROMPTS

↪ [ GAZE ] : your muse watches my muse from across a crowded room. asked by @paramounticebound​

               It might have been a sixth sense feeling she had right before she turned around to find those blue eyes watching her from across the bar. It was karaoke night and by no means had she grabbed the microphone to indulge herself in some song that she wanted to belt out in front of everyone. Not that she wasn’t confident she had a good singing voice, but it wasn’t exactly her thing to request a song for her to sing to in front of crazy and tipsy patrons. That didn’t mean that she didn’t join everyone else by singing along to some of the greater songs being blasted through the overhead speakers. Not everyone was the most talented in the bar, but it was the spirit they had that counted. Anna was enjoying herself like the rest of them; drinking, singing, dancing to the music. That was going to catch a few eyes and she didn’t mind them in the slightest, but it was only his eyes that she paid attention to. Maybe she had noticed him once or twice while he was here, too.

               That might have made Anna a little bashful, too, knowing that he was watching her. It didn’t matter how confident she knew herself to be, when someone she remotely found attractive and intriguing had their eyes on her, even she could feel all warm and flustered. She picked up her glass, something fruity with a twinge of grapefruit in it, and took a drink from it as she decided what her next move would be. Before he had a chance to approach her, she wanted to be the one to chase him first. She moved across the room with her drink in hand, saddling up next to him where he was standing by his end of the bar, smiling coolly up at him. Up close, his eyes were this beautiful blue and she almost became lost in those ocean pools before her lips parted to speak.  ❝ Hi. ❞  It was the first thing she said, gauging if he wanted to interact with her. She didn’t want him to think she was some tipsy girl looking to get kissed and her hair pulled in the back of the bar in the next ten minutes. She was better than that.  ❝ You don’t have a wingman, do you? ❞  She was only teasing him, figuring if he did then he might have already been pressured to come up to her.

[lastxdragon]

Verses Update

VERSES:

I will entertain any AU idea. I do not watch a lot of TV so some shows I might just not know enough about, but I’m willing to consider it.

Show Canon:  Please note - Lastxdragon is an ASoIaF book-based Daenerys Stormborn portrayal. The books are the only Canon material source I acknowledge for Daenerys. As such, there are some deviations from the show material that come into play in my “CANON verse” for her.  

*I’ll work with you on some things, but this list is non-negotiable.*

1. Viserion, Rhaegal and Drogon are all still alive. Viserion was almost fatally injured by the NK, but survived and has been on Dragonstone recovering.

2. Only half her armies were lost in the NK Battle. She continues to have a combined army of 50,000. Of that number, 5,000 took serious injury and were sent ahead by ship to Dragonstone to recover. 3. Post NK Battle, experiencing the betrayals and gaslighting in Winterfell after sacrificing everything for them, Daenerys has an epiphany. Her ‘destiny’ had been to save Westeros and she had, not in the way she’d thought, but by stopping the Night King. She dismisses Tyrion and Varys.  

4. Her fleet takes her armies to Dragonstone, bypassing King’s Landing, to collect the rest of her people, then they set off for Meereen where Daenerys armies free the remaining slaves in Essos and new trades/councils are set up. Above all, Daenerys is a rescuer. Volantis is taken over and Daenerys recreates Valyria (minus the slavery), finding new dragon eggs and hatching them. 5. Retiring - Dany takes her closest people and dragons to an island off YiTi.

Specific Characters:

If your character died in that joke of a TV show, they aren’t dead in Daenerys’ canon verse.

Jon Snow - Daenerys was only ever friendly. Any potential romance has to come from chemistry.  

Canon Future: Dany wants to make changes to Westeros and Essos, primarily ending all slavery, making women equal to men (much like Dorne), etc. Will default to starting after the battle for the dawn (i.e., Night King is dead) and she has taken the Iron Throne/or newly arrived to Dragonstone unless otherwise plotted.

Westeros +10,000 years: Society is beyond modern life. Flying cars, high tech, very peaceful, war is unknown. They’ve forgotten the myths so when the dead begin rising in the far North (a nuclear wasteland since the last NK was only destroyed after nearly losing everyone), the scientists believe the only way to combat the NK is to clone someone from legend with Valyrian blood/magic. Daenerys (and Drogon) is ‘resurrected’ into this world to save them.

Immortal: After killing the Night King, his immortality magic was absorbed by her blood and Daenerys doesn’t age or die. The Dothraki remain with her, as do her dragons, but she takes the Unsullied and Missandei back to Essos where they continue to free slaves, finally taking over Volantis and recreating Valyria. More dragon eggs are found and hatched.

There must always be a Night King: After killing the Night King, the Children’s curse transfers to Daenerys and she must control the dead so they do not hurt anyone. The Dothraki remain with her, as do her dragons, but she sends the Unsullied and Missandei back to Essos where they continue to free slaves.  

NON-WESTEROS Verses:

Unless otherwise noted, Daenerys is CEO of Targaryen Enterprises, a very successful, high-tech industry leader. Her family died in a plane crash that was sabotage orchestrated by her cousin, Robert Baratheon.

Modern: Her bodyguards are Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal - elite security. Daenerys has a gift for tech, programming and design. She’s very dedicated to protecting the company, while doing a lot of outreach.This verse is best suited for superhero, bodyguard, or guardian angel scenarios.

Rockstar: After losing her family, she took Rhaegar’s place in the mega rock band, the Red Dragons, as their bassist and backup singer. Missandei runs the company while Dany writes music and tours with the band. She’s VERY wild in this verse, drinks too much, drives fast cars, skydives - Dany’s on a path of self-destruction and hard to get emotionally close to.

MARVEL: Daenerys is an Inhuman (fire-based powers) from a reality where she’s been host to the Aether for 5 years. In her reality, the Aether chose her, Dark World never happened, Thanos never got the Aether - he was stopped by the Avengers + Dr. Strange/Dany. When Thanos wins in our reality, the effect on other realities rippleds and Dany feels it. She’s sent to this reality to find out what happened. She cannot ‘undo’ what Thanos’ Aether has done*, but she will help the Avengers defeat him. (*It’s like an etch-a-sketch. Our reality was a very specific scribble. Thanos shook the pad. Now our reality is a very different scribble. Daenerys didn’t know what that first scribble was - hence, she can’t use her Aether to remake it.)

Superhero: The grief of losing her brother forced something dark and dangerous up. More precisely, Dany can generate fire from herself, control any existing fire sources, and shield herself. What Dany can’t control are her Visions (future, past, alternate timelines).

The Walking Dead (TWD): Daenerys is the only survivor of her family. Aerys Targaryen ran a massive tech company and got into a survivalist lifestyle after a series of hostile takeover attempts raised his paranoia to phobic levels, building an off-the-grid cabin in the mountains of Colorado. While in the sprawling city, the family was overrun and killed by Walkers. After years living alone, Dany is making her way across the country to Pensacola to get to the family yacht. She’s proficient with a bow and wary of ‘communities’.

Witch: As a witch, Dany comes from a powerful family in the Sabrina universe (a different coven/city) and gets her powers from Satan. Her powers are based in fire and blood. Will entertain AHS: Apocalypse crossovers where Dany is sent by Satan to help Michael.

Angel/Fallen Angel/Guardian Angel/Vampire: These versions of Daenerys do not have a timeline or particular fandom.

Altered Carbon: Daenerys is a forgotten Envoy, one of the first three and to join Quellcrist Falconer in the initial stages of Quell’s crusade, before the full concept of training had been realized. The youngest member of a ruling Protectorate family, Dany went into hiding with Quell to get away from her father’s abuse and madness. There she learned the basic Envoy newborn concepts and trained until being sent back to her family under deep cover, reporting back to Quell. As such, only Quellcrist knew of Daenerys’ true loyalty, a secret that died with the Envoy leader. After a malfunction in the stream transfer claimed her family, Daenerys continued to affect changes from her position as a top Meth. When Laurens Bancroft brags of having the ‘last Envoy’, Daenerys is stunned to learn she’s not alone, but also cautious, reaching out to Takeshi.

Pacific Rim: Dany is a Jaeger pilot. Very mechanically adept.  

Harry Potter: Daenerys graduated from Hogwarts (and had defended it during the war). She was a Gryffindor, but her family had been split, Slytherin and Gryffindor, until their deaths at the hands of Death Eaters. She has an affinity with dangerous animals and specialized in their care, earning a place as a junior Dragon Keeper. Willing to adjust to any HP timeline.

Star Wars: Daenerys is a strong force sensitive. Her parents and oldest brother died when she was an infant, leaving Dany in the care of her abusive brother who raised her with little outside interaction. When she was 16, he died in a mining accident. Dany is good with machines/able to fix anything. From a young age, she heard the thoughts of others. She lives in a cave on Tatooine and makes a meager living repairing heavy, industrial machinery. She has a beaten up speeder and a blaster, but her instinct is to flee if she can.

(Sith: At age  5, her brother sold Dany to a Sith monk of the Order of Revan who raised her in the ways of the Darkside. She is deadly with a lightsaber and strong in the Force, twisting minds to her purpose.*WARNING: Dany is VERY dark in this verse. Sadistic, violent, malicious.)

Leviticus 8:1-13 comments: Moses prepares Aaron and his sons

Leviticus 8:1 ¶  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2  Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread; 3 And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 4  And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 5  And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done. 6  And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water. 7  And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith. 8  And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim. 9  And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses. 10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them. 11  And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them. 12  And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him. 13  And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.

 Here is the consecration of Aaron and his sons to the priests’ office repeating the orders of Exodus 28 and 29. Moses was given this authority to administer this ceremony as God’s representative.

Deuteronomy 33:5  And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

 When it says gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle we need to use our common sense to interpret this without scratching our head. Hundreds of thousands of people or even tens of thousands of people could not be crowded at the door of the tabernacle. Perhaps they sat in the order of their tribes or perhaps only the heads of the tribes were in front. Notice how similar phrasing is used elsewhere.

Mark 1:5  And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

 But, we know from the text what this means.

 Matthew 3:5  Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6  And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

 See what Matthew just said about John the Baptist? Now, when the text talks about Jesus in the same gospel;

Matthew 4:25  And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

 Obviously, in Mark 1:5 and Matthew 3:5 we don’t imagine every living person in Jerusalem, Judaea, and the region of Jordan and beyond crowded into one place to be baptized.

The error of modernism is to read the Bible like a textbook rather than a conversation with our Creator. You are literal-minded and correct to read the Bible as it stands, believing it, understanding to whom it is speaking and what it is saying in context. But you have to understand that the Holy Spirit and the men it guided who wrote the Bible used metaphor, simile, and hyperbole regularly. But reading this like you read the instruction manual for a piece of machinery will make what the Spirit is trying to give you come out as gibberish for you and fodder for non-believers to mock God and His words.

Moses washed them with water. Christ washed us from our sins in His own blood thus being prepared for our sanctification.

Revelation 1:5  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

 1Corinthians 6:11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

 Titus 3:5  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

 See how we are washed by His word.

 Ephesians 5:25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26  That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27  That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

 However verse 3 would look literally, Moses is to take Aaron and his sons and clothe them in their garments much as God’s saints are clothed in salvation and in the righteousness of Christ.

Psalm 132:9  Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

 Isaiah 61:10 ¶  I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

 Revelation 3:5  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

 Revelation 19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

 The Urim and Thummim were discussed in Exodus 28.

 The first thing Moses did to Aaron and his sons was to wash them. Christ, too, washed His priesthood, whom Peter refers to as all Christians in 1Peter 2:9, before clothing them in His righteousness.

Titus 3:5  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7  That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

 The coat was of fine linen.

 Exodus 28:39  And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.

 Fine linen symbolizes the righteousness that Christ clothes the church and each believer with.

 Revelation 19:8  And to her [the church in Heaven, the bride of Christ] was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

 Think of the coat Christ wore.

 John 19:23  Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

 A girdle is a sash worn low for religious purposes, for health, or strength. Mention of it is used in conjunction with strength and combat. This is not the girdle that women used to wear to maintain for appearance sake. Think of a wide belt that constrains or girds.

2Samuel 20:8  When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab’s garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.

 Isaiah 3:24  And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

 Matthew 3:4  And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

 Acts 21:11  And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

 Japanese, in medieval times, wore a haramaki as piece of armor worn over the torso, fashioned by cords in the back. In World War Two they wore one of cloth for health reasons with their unit name written on it.

Now, with that context notice this reference to Christ in Isaiah.

 Isaiah 11:1 ¶  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2  And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3  And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4  But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5  And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. [interior organs of a person]

 A robe could signify office for ceremonial importance.

 1Chronicles 15:27  And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

 Jonah 3:6  For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

 It could represent a trait as it does here in a figure of speech called a simile.

 Job 29:14  I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

 It can symbolize what we possess through Christ.

 Isaiah 61:10  I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

 The ephod is blue and it is one piece with the opening for the head reinforced so it would not be torn in taking on and off. It was more like what we think of when we think of as a long poncho. According to Matthew Henry the Medieval Jewish scholar Maimonides said that the sides were not sewn so the arms for free to move although others say there were arm holes. Christ’s coat, just mentioned, bore a similarity to this in construction.

The mitre according to sources would look almost like a turban. The oil of anointing is often spoken of by commentators as representative of the Holy Spirit. And we have this;

1John 2:27  But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

 Remember the promise of Christ.

 John 14:26  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 I hope these parallels and contrasts, as uneducated and unsophisticated as my presentation of them is, bless you as much as they bless me when I study them.

Nowadays Adam Smith's eighteen men are as extinct as the diplodocus. The eighteen flesh-and-blood machines are replaced by machines of steel which spout out pins by the hundred million. Even sticking them into pink papers is done by machinery. The result is that with the exception of a few people who design the machines, nobody knows how to make a pin or how a pin is made: that is to say, the modern worker in pin manufacture need not be one-tenth so intelligent and skilful and accomplished as the old pinmaker; and the only compensation we have for this deterioration is that pins are so cheap that a single pin has no expressible value at all. Even with a big profit stuck on to the cost-price you can buy dozens for a farthing; and pins are so recklessly thrown away and wasted that verses have to be written to persuade children (without success) that it is a sin to steal a pin. Many serious thinkers, like John Ruskin and William Morris, have been greatly troubled by this, just as Goldsmith was, and have asked whether we really believe that it is an advance in wealth to lose our skill and degrade our workers for the sake of being able to waste pins by the ton. We shall see later on, when we come to consider the Distribution of Leisure, that the cure for this is not to go back to the old way; for if the saving of time by modern machinery were equally divided among us, it would set us all free for higher work than pinmaking or the like. But in the mean time the fact remains that pins are now made by men and women who cannot make anything by themselves, and could not arrange between themselves to make anything even in little bits. They are ignorant and helpless, and cannot lift their finger to begin their day's work until it has all been arranged for them by their employers, who themselves do not understand the machines they buy, and simply pay other people to set them going by carrying out the machine maker's directions.

Expert: Ha, ha! keep time: how sour sweet music is, When time is broke and no proportion kept! So is it in the music of men’s lives. — Richard II’s lament from Act 5, Scene 5 of Shakespeare’s eponymous tragedy Given the (great unspoken) fact, the wealth of Western civilisation’s ruling class was created by, and is maintained to this day by, genocidal conquer-lust and its attendant, imperialist aggression and plunder, the acts of mass murder being perpetrated by (mostly) White males in the US reflect a culture that deploys military and police state firepower to maintain its dominant status. As Malcolm X averred, the chickens have come home to roost. Moreover, if there does not arrive a rendezvous with reality and an honest reckoning with the fact, the Law Of Perpetual, Homicidal Poultry Returns will continue, ad infinitum. When US troops in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan were deployed for missions outside their fortified compounds, base camps and “green zones,” they quipped they were proceeding into “Indian Country.” Acts of mass murder committed abroad by US military forces are mimicked by domestic freelancers. Their acts of violence cannot be separated and must be examined in light of the murderous repertoire, historic and present day, of the US military. Moreover, brutality reigns and blow-back buffets a culture dependent on subduing large swathes of the world’s population in order to deliver ill-gotten resources to the homeland, all in an attempt to sate the obscene appetites of a craven class of economic, political, and militarist elite. Official secrecy, perpetual government and corporate coverups, a reflexively violent police culture, the cultural elevation of soldiering to saintly status, and mass media apologia for the dismal status quo, in unison, serve to protect the violence-sustained system, yet, concurrently, psychologically unhinged mass murderers reveal the collective unconscious of the culture. Daily life within an empire becomes a grotesque pageant wherein the collective aura of its citizenry oscillates between the manic and the grim,  between cruelty and self-pity, from a reality-defiant belief in their victimhood to displays of bullying (also known as US foreign policy). As noted, aggressors often view themselves as victims, and, in a manner, they are — withal, victims of their choice to surrender an independent mind to the soul-devouring machinery of a state and its cultural criteria that has grown monstrous. Their lives have merged with the dim beast, possessed of insatiable appetite, known as empire. After a while, the sum total of their knowledge of the world has been, exclusively, gathered from viewing the scenery within the belly of the US’s star-spangled leviathan. Beneath the quotidian surface of late-stage capitalist modernity, a nebulous sense of apprehension churns. Yet, most go on, in a dolorous trudge or a display of manic avoidance. Generally, the vast majority of us manage not to go completely bug-house crazy, or kill ourselves or go on a murderous rampage. Yet: How is it that we do not drop to earth and pound the ground in lamentation or become frozen in a catatonic state? Rarely, do we acknowledge the dread simmering at the periphery of our sense of awareness. It seems as though, at some point, our facade would shatter into unretrievable shards…that we would turn to friends and strangers alike and sob, “are you not terrified too?” How did we come by this collaboration in denial? Is personal denial determined by, thus is a reflection of, the collective form of the phenomenon? Sigmund Freud, late in life, grown melancholic by witnessing the blood-drench madness of the 20th Century, lamented depression was necessary to cool the violent, hothouse inclinations of the caged-by-modernity human race and was crucial to maintaining civilisation. To wit, the repression of primal drives creates nameless and nebulous, but society stabilising, angst. Subsequently, an ad hoc, provisional peace is established but its fragile stability, with a restive, roiling underpinning, is tragically subject to upwellings of violence and mass hysteria during periods when the barriers between the conscious and unconscious mind become weakened by external pressures. (Nowadays, Freud has his vociferous detractors, in particular, the materialist school (whose reductionism-giddy prophets go so far as to deny the existence of the unconscious) and the High Dollar funded pill pushers of the psycho-pharmacological cults of the corporate state. Thus Freud and his legacy are out of fashion. Although, somehow, his critics trundle past the fact the capitalist/consumer culture is in the perpetual thrall of Freudian Theory, albeit, in a warped form. Appropriated for the self-serving purposes of the capitalist economic elite, as delivered to them, in the form of modern advertising and public relations legerdemain by Freud’s mercenary nephew, Edward L. Bernays, Freudian Theory has been in application, by the dark magicians of what was once broadly referred to as Madison Avenue, since the 1920s. If there was ever proof of the veracity of subliminal level drives and wish fulfillment desires, it lies in how effective propaganda has proven to be.) Freud advocated the efficacy of a “talking cure.” But under consumer culture, the landscape of language is fracked; its psychical eco-system decimated by a truncating of the complexity of lexicon, both written and spoken. There is the banality of evil and then there is the evil of banality. The Eichmanneque mindset of the crackbrain realism inherent to the capitalist order reduces earth, sky, language, and psyche to controllable (dreamless and dead) bits. All is fodder for commodification. The Spanish poet, later murdered by Franco’s fascists, upon an extended stay in New York City, limned in verse: I attack all those persons/ who know nothing of the other half,/ the half who cannot be saved,/ who raise their cement mountains/ in which the hearts of the small/ animals no one thinks of are beating. — Federico García Lorca, excerpt: New York (Office and Attack) All…as the manic media culture churns in a proliferation of fervid imagery, freighted with a nightmare quality, as, concurrently, super storms, massive wildfires, and mass shootings come to pass — phenomena so huge in scope that it seems culled from the dreaming mind of one in the midst of a mental breakdown. In the sky there is nobody asleep.  Nobody, nobody. Nobody is asleep. The creatures of the moon sniff and prowl about their cabins. The living iguanas will come and bite the men who do not dream, and the man who rushes out with his spirit broken will meet on the street corner the unbelievable alligator quiet beneath the tender protest of the stars. — Federico García Lorca, excerpt: City That Does Not Sleep. On the streets of the cities of the world, multitudes stare at handheld, electronic appliances, proceeding along, all the while, missing the tones and textures of city life. In cafes and coffee shops, one is prone to disappear into realms of bloodless pixel. In this manner, so much is passed by and elided…including the human face. What is forsaken, on a psychical and societal basis, by the loss of face-to-face encounters? (As opposed to Facebook exchanges.) The face of another (that of a human being and that of other animals) serves to summon one into the participation mystique of life. Deprivation of connection with the face of others causes one to lose connection with one’s own body and soul, and to even seek the estranged other by the eros of violence. A crucial question fails to rise to the fore of consciousness: What do I experience when I encounter a particular person? What do I make of this source of mystery — this emissary from eternity in the form of a living being — with whom arrives the possibility of connection, intrigue, conflict, or betrayal. If one loses the habit of communal engagement, one is in danger of losing one’s humanity. The heart atrophies from a lack of interpersonal connection. The presence of others, even the panoply of life itself, is misapprehended as menacing…Others are perceived as malevolent, inhuman — as phantoms, devoid of face, heart, and blood. Without the faces of others, we exist nowhere. Life is rendered a soulless dance of nada…sensation sans sensitivity…a facsimile of experience lacking in empathy, imagination and eros. It all begins and ends with the face. Without an imperative for a deepening of self and a commitment to communal engagement — an evincing of peripatetic empathy and radical imagination — there exists little chance of transformation, of a remaking of the present order, from its rotten roots to its noxious blossoming. Alexander Cockburn advised to keep one’s hate pure. And keep it directed at the appropriate targets; e.g., the present blood-sucking, earth-devastating order, a hierarchy of vampires. First step: Gain the presence of mind and sense of self to eschew displacing rage upon the powerless. In so doing, peripatetic empathy and radical imagination provide the psychical space for change to unfold and evolve, thus one gains the agency of heart and mind to drive a stake through the dry-as-dust heart of the status quo. As Lorca testified: The duende….Where is the duende? Through the empty archway a wind of the spirit enters, blowing insistently over the heads of the dead, in search of new landscapes and unknown accents: a wind with the odour of a child’s saliva, crushed grass, and medusa’s veil, announcing the endless baptism of freshly created things. — Federico García Lorca, Theory and Play Of The Duende http://clubof.info/

@nigellecter from here !

              Quite honestly it took Anna a moment to remember what her BLOOD TYPE was at all. She couldn’t recall any time in particular when someone had informed her of what her blood type was. Not even her physicians happened to inform her when she was in the middle of a checkup, or the odd times when she really needed stitches that she couldn’t do herself so she made up shitty excuses of where they had come from to begin with. Sometimes it happened on the job, other times because she was in fights - sometimes she happened to instigate them, but that was neither her nor there. Even her medical records she was sent home with at the end of an exam didn’t state her type. All it said was that her calcium levels needed to be worked on sometimes, but she was doing fantastic with her gluclose and cholesterol levels for an American, as they were stereotyped for living off of fast food and sugar. According to science, the obesity reports were high, but Anna wasn’t chugging sodas and Big Macs all of the time either.

               Anyways, she she as a SMUGGLER. She didn’t work for some underground company that had her best interests and well being in mind. They didn’t need to know everything in case something happened and she needed a blood transfusion or God forbid a new organ. She certainly didn’t get millions of dollars either. Anna was a freelancer. Trusted clients called her when there was a job and she got half at the start and the second half when the job was done. Smuggling wasn’t easy, but she had learned from the best and had filled his shoes when he DISAPPEARED.

               The blonde shifted her weight from one foot to the next, hands sliding deeper into the pockets of her jacket to try and capture more warmth to warm her cool skin.  ❝ B+, ❞  she finally answered him with a sigh. She was surprised she remembered that at all without having to make a call to her doctor to see if they’d release that over the phone. Anna being Anna, she added,  ❝ Not as call as AB but we live with what we got I guess. What about you, strange and mysterious? What’s yours? ❞

@lifeparted wanted a starter !

                ❝If I’m gonna stay in a hospital and I’m not gonna just sit around on my ass.❞  Anna was too stubborn for that, hence her wandering around. It could just be a matter of time before a nurse coming to check on her comes to find her and drag her back to her room.  ❝I get that’s kinda the point but not for me.❞

“Don’t ever do that again!”

My muse was in danger but their phone was on silent. Send “Don’t ever do that again!” to confront them afterwards. // @sheresists

               ANNA NEVER MEANT TO WORRY HER FRIEND. Maybe worry was the understatement of the year after the number of missed calls she had seen on her phone and the few voicemails that Rey had bothered to leave in between those missed calls. She felt like a complete idiot for not bothering to check her phone sooner but she was caught up with everything that was going on and hadn’t given a second to thought to anything else around her. She had barely even thought about her own safety before she jumped into something that was completely way over her head, but she thought herself tough enough to deal with everything.  ❝ I’m so, so sorry, ❞  she said, hoping that the sincere look in her eye conveyed just how apologetic she really was.  ❝ I didn’t mean to worry you. I just…Jesus, ya know, I’m… ❞  I’m having a rough time and I’m way over my head and don’t know what to do. But she didn’t say that out loud right now so she just took a deep breath and expelled it a moment later.  ❝ I’ll keep my ringer on now, I promise. ❞
