“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

The Book of the War (Lawrence Miles et. al.) Synopsis: "The Great Houses: Immovable. Implacable. Unchanging. Old enough to pass themselves off as immortal, arrogant enough to claim ultimate authority over the Spiral Politic.

The Enemy: Not so much an army as a hostile new kind of history. So ambitious it can re-write worlds, so complex that even calling it by its name seems to underestimate it.

Faction Paradox: Renegades, ritualists, saboteurs and subterfugers, the criminal-cult to end all criminal-cults, happy to be caught in the crossfire and ready to take whatever's needed from the wreckage… assuming the other powers leave behind a universe that's habitable.

The War: A fifty-year-old dispute over the two most valuable territories in existence: "cause" and "effect."

Marking the first five decades of the conflict, THE BOOK OF THE WAR is an A to Z of a self-contained continuum and a complete guide to the Spiral Politic, from the beginning of recordable time to the fall of humanity. Part story, part history and part puzzle-box, this is a chronicle of protocol and paranoia in a War where the historians win as many battles as the soldiers and the greatest victory of all is to hold on to your own past."

Propaganda: A text which purports to be a constantly shifting and updating guide to The War, a conflict so overarching and complete that every other conflict is but a pale shadow thereof; the Time War. Of course, since it would shift retroactively with the changing timelines, there is no way to prove or disprove this claim. Notable entries include cities built from days stolen from shifting calendars, the secrets of removing yourself from history while still leaving yourself free to interfere, Grandfather Paradox, the location of the exact center of history, how to weaponize banality, and Parablox.

Oh, and there's something else in there. Something that seems to be talking to you.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there (Lewis Caroll) "Both books have a similar structure and are spiral for the same reasons: little Victorian child Alice founds herself in a strange world with rules vastly different from hers (for example, there's no real geography and the scenery changes suddenly from one place to another very much like in a dream). The characters she crosses constantly defy her understanding of the world and applies logics she struggles to understand. Even though she ends up going with the flow most of the time she never ceases to question whether shes experiencing real life or a dream; sanity is brought up a few times, and there's also the popular quote "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad", delivered by the grinning cat that appears and disappears like a slippery distortion. Lastly I may add that the TMA episode whose title references the book (Mag 177, Wonderland) is a spiral episode."

My Second gen clones, they were all based on authors and called themselves as "The Literacy Society"

They often talks about their clone parents' books (Dazai and Arthur likes their clone fathers' literacy the most)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Good Now, Mr Tetch !

Are you an amateur of poetry?

My dear, I most certainly am. Sonnets, haikus, elegies, odes, I’m fond of most all kinds. Reading them is always a treat, but I confess that my skill for writing them could be vastly improved.

One of my favourite poems would have to be The Valentine, by Lewis Caroll—a surprise to no one, I’m sure.

American mcgees alice asylum .

(Part 2 of dress concepts )

Here is all new updates on concept art for Alice’s new dresses aside from her original blue and the inferno which is on a earlier post ( along with the first set of dresses that were sketched up.) . Each dress is so beautiful in it’s own unique way the game is set to focus on the time she spent in the asylum and knowing the twisted beauty of wonderland and how it gets corrupted to the point it was. I love alice madness returns as do I love the original American mcgees alice. The story is great and the lore is fantastic . Here’s to hoping this game becomes part of our reality soon. (From part 1 of the previous pictures of her dress concepts that I posted)

So far the game is in creation and I know all of us alice fans are eager to be able to jump back into the corrupt wonderland that we know now. Hopefully we will get even more back story! I’m excited for this!

Let’s hear it for american mcgees amazing take on alice in wonderland

often the girls ms potato me while i sleep that i can walk on my hands smelling the way it sounds and seeing the way it feels.

once in a while God gets involved by inverting gravity so i have to reassemble myself on the ceiling right-side up but upside-down.

it doesn't remind me of my nightmare of the brakes going out on the freeway anymore, but my brain is ambidextrous and noncommittal now to the sensual haunting of it.

Homestuck (Andrew Hussie) "This thing is a tome of madness, chaos, and early 2000s Internet culture (oops, tautology!)"

The Hunting of the Snark (Lewis Caroll) "An epic poem which hits quite a few different fears; the Hunt is an obvious one, and given the author, so is the Spiral. The sea voyage has elements of Vast, and various characters can be read as Flesh, Stranger, and even Web. The poem seems to end with the Lonely; " He had softly and suddenly vanished away — For the Snark was a Boojum, you see."
