L'APPEL DU VIDE
okay so. jack! jack. what a collection of guys. the overlap between jack and the beanstalk and jack the giant killer, though. that sure is something! sometimes king arthur is there, which always takes me by surprise.
this. specifically. is an idea I've been kicking around. jack and the beanstalk is not a story I've ever enjoyed, as a kid it was probably my least favorite to read. as an adult, I was INTENSELY fascinated by reading j.g. ballard's the drowned giant. I think about it frequently, and somewhere during a re read of it, I ended up revisiting jack.
combining different versions of jack into one character is not a new concept, but it IS a fun one! the version I've been assembling together plays less with the fun elements of a jack story (and adjacent folklore stories), and focuses more on the potential for tragic elements with the addition of the usual grim and jagged narrative edges that I personally enjoy.
jack with the backstory of the devil and the three golden hairs, only jack doesn't find love, he's TIRED, all he wants to do is go home, but there isn't a home to go back to. what is the point of being born lucky if this is what it gets you? jack the giant killer, only he doesn't want to kill giants, jack who saw a body of a giant when he was a small child and cannot bring himself to do as a king commands. jack, who climbs up the beanstalk and stops halfway to look down. etc.
to go back to the drowned giant real quick, both to set the tone about jack seeing the body of a giant as a youth, and also because I've been haunted and obsessed with this excerpt of it ever since I read it:

J. G. Ballard, The Drowned Giant
anyway! this was originally like, a two illustration concept to get out of my system. however. I'm halfway through outlining a narrative. so. maybe it will also be several illustrations and also comic.

Do you ever think about how Fakir, after him and Ahiru finally broke everything that kept the town of Goldkrƶne in the ghostly hands of its writer, after they finally have some air of peace over the town finally being able to live in its intended early 2000s environment, that Fakir still feels at times like it's not real and that for a while he fears that if he closes his eyes it'll be back in Drosselmeyer's control. Like it just doesn't feel real to him during that first year of calm, until he feels the dull pain on his recovering hand injury and Ahiru who follows him without a pendant anywhere to be found.
He doesn't feel it's real, the calm finality of this town, but he makes sure to feel the scar on his hand. And he makes sure to hold the little duck and realize that she is who she has always been. Him and the town are finally living peacefully.
#dia talks#princess tutu#He probably starts planning on writing Ahiru into the world mayyybe like 3-4 months into his recovery#he doesn't know what a cell phone is yet but he sure as hell can look at a bookstore and ask for a notebook and pens#i bet that first year in Goldenkrƶne must be hell because trading deals bring all sorts of new things into the town#Just Fakir going ā€œwhat the fuck is a scooter?? Wait what's a CAR---ā€#he ends up having to read a bunch of newspaper articles about ā€œGoldenkrƶne booming in German tourism!ā€#Actually does he even know his country's name... Did they all even know they lived in Germany and not JUST a city????#Drosselmeyer would've really pulled one on them for only talking about the city and its outskirts and NOT the country it resided in#But let's assume they did know. Fakir would have to figure out so much has changed in 2002 Germany compared to whatever time they were in#My god just thinking about the thought of Fakir learning what a television is... or a radio for that matter has me howling internally#local amateur writer is put into a coma after hearing for the very first time german rapper Sido#alternatively: local amateur writer's brain explodes after hearing german Happycore artist BlĆ¼mchen and dance pop group No Angels#ptutu spoiler#i know its a +20 old show but just in case people wanna watch it i love it enough to tag the post show headcanon#ptutu analysis#ptutu headcanon#ptutu post canon#Also sorry i keep jumbling between Goldkrƶne and Goldenkrƶne in the writing its 4 AM and the german part of my brain is a mess lmao#(its supposed to be Goldkrƶne but for some reason I keep making it into the attribute word Golden so dont mind the mistake)#(if you do i will sob please be gentle towards my polyglot self)

10, 27, 50šŸ„°
10. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Nah. Like you said thereā€™s infatuation at first sight.
27. Has someone ever written a song or poem for you?
Yes šŸ˜­ Iā€™ve had a few poems sent to me on here either through anon, DMs or posting one and saying Iā€™m the inspiration behind it.
50. If your first true love knocked on your door with apology and presents, would you accept?
Thatā€™s pretty complicated lol
#*maybe* if I let my hopeless romantic self take over I think (hope) there could be a spark at first sight?#where you see someone and you feel drawn to them and you have this weird feeling theyā€™re supposed to be in your life??#who knows maybe itā€™s just in the fairytales but damn I want a fairytale love one day#but I definitely donā€™t think thereā€™s a thing like love at first sight#love is much more than just seeing someoneā€¦ I just feel like thatā€™s a shallow way of looking at it? and I donā€™t mean to disrespect anyone-#who does believe in love at first sight#I just feel like it takes time to fully love someone#I feel like to love someone means to truly know the person - to take the time to learn them as a person and to learn the good and the bad#and to fall in love with the whole person#I truly still can not believe people have taken the time to write me a poem#I genuinely get a little teary eyed whenever I think about it#I have a notebook (I lost it during the move but Iā€™m sure itā€™s in one of the boxes) that I keep and write down any poem or sweet message#that I receive and then when I have a bad day I can look back at them#if I donā€™t find it soon Iā€™m gonna start a new one cause I miss having that pick me up#LOL#that last question#I truly truly donā€™t even know how to answer that#short and simple answer sure Iā€™d accept the apology but we wouldnā€™t get back together#a little side note I have a tiny feeling that it wasnā€™t true love but who knows#anywayyyyyyy thank you so much for the questions!#ngl I fell asleep shortly after I reblogged this and then the rest of the day I forgot about it šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø#but better late than never right? šŸ˜‚#ask

okay so the fun thing about my writing is that i do it in longform handwriting first before i type it all into the computer, which means i need a fair amount of paper to write on, which means iā€™ve been slowly using all the blank space from the notebooks iā€™ve had since, like, middle school
the not so fun thing is that when iā€™m trying to find the notebook i was last writing in, i have like five notebooks on hand that i have to check before i can figure out which is the right one
