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.
#original tag#generic medieval tag#WAHOO. alright.#i dont have any additional commentary in the tags. reading the drowned giant years ago Did Something To Me#and it connected with whatever it was that made me dislike the jack and the beanstalk narrative (i know what it is. its just not really#all that relevant to this post. also im tired. its time for bed)#through the power of Why Not. i will now. turn it into a story????#i think. its definitely been taking up a lot of space in my mind lately#the only thing stopping me from turning it into my Side Project to do when i need a break from doing Bad Governance edits#is that. ive run out of notebooks???? to start a new story in. and i am Old and i only outline stuff by hand#eventually i'll get to daiso and pick up some new ones and work on this for real. until then. im going to continue to write about it#in my personal journal where i dump all my thoughts and ideas into

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 āwhat the fuck is a scooter?? Wait what's a CAR---ā#he ends up having to read a bunch of newspaper articles about āGoldenkrƶne 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)

so not only do I have a few more kinktober fics to polish up, i need to get started on fics for mattmelloweek, but i am also letting my brain fester and rot about Big Fic (ascension) since giving myself a deadline of january to begin writing and publishing chapters.
can you tell i was unemployed for a few weeks when i made these plans?
#i was going to give myself a writing break between kinktober and mellomattweek but i actually don't think i need it#plus theres only seven prompts... haha...#<- says the guy who DECIDED to write thirty one fics#as for ascension#i am constantly writing things down in my notebook and coming up with new ideas but the plot is very faint#like i could get started with writing the beginning but i worry i will run out of stream without a slightly more solid plan#so that's where i am at in regards with that#uhh... anything else...#i constantly have little one shots running through my mind and while they aren't a priority to me at the moment#they might be written and published sporadically in the near future#anyway!#very excited i hope some of you are as well#vamphorica writes#possible delete later

10. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Nah. Like you said thereās infatuation at first sight.
27. Has someone ever written a song or poem for you?
Yes š Iāve had a few poems sent to me on here either through anon, DMs or posting one and saying Iām the inspiration behind it.
50. If your first true love knocked on your door with apology and presents, would you accept?
Thatās 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 theyāre supposed to be in your life??#who knows maybe itās just in the fairytales but damn I want a fairytale love one day#but I definitely donāt think thereās a thing like love at first sight#love is much more than just seeing someoneā¦ I just feel like thatās a shallow way of looking at it? and I donāt 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 Iām sure itās 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 donāt find it soon Iām gonna start a new one cause I miss having that pick me up#LOL#that last question#I truly truly donāt even know how to answer that#short and simple answer sure Iād accept the apology but we wouldnāt get back together#a little side note I have a tiny feeling that it wasnāt 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 š¤¦š½āāļø#but better late than never right? š#ask

* getting a new notebook would fix meĀ ā (this wizard has one million tomes and journals and notebooks and field guides scattered across its tower already)
#yu.txt#but you know what this wizard does not have? an outside notebook. for writing outside. i did have one previously but its in my fancy bag#which i do not take out often or ever on account of there's stuff in it that feels right to be there and not elsewhere. one day#this may change. but that's neither here nor there. the point is i had one outside notebook (small) and it is in the fancy bag with friends#a pencil case in the same color and a pen also in the same color and some stickers. also in the same color. matching the bag. so they all#have to be together now. i can't separate them. i currently have 3 notebooks in rotation and i just remembered a 4th which might be able to#fill the space of an outside notebook (black nondescript has one of those silky ribbons that bookmark pages) which is just as good as#getting a new notebook because i completely forgot i had it until i made this post. it just started existing. to me. anyways#thank you for coming on this journey with me <3

One day I'm going to go to Germany and buy an indecent amount of notebooks made there
#my notebook made in italy: start falling apart after you open them twice#my german notebook that I've been opening the whole year almost daily: still looks brand new#okay i was dramatic about the italian notebooks but still my best options are super expensive ones that in a year is already very ruined#or less expensive one that's still expensive that get the spine ruined because it's rigid as fuck#i have my crochet notebook where i write everything I do that is really falling apart#losing pieces of cover pages ruined the glue dying

the biggest question Iām currently facing: I have 8 pages left in this notebook. Do I keep it or switch to a new one for whumptober season?
#i think Iāll keep it for brainstorming#and start carrying a new notebook for potential drafts#this oneās starting to get pretty beat up too I think itās about time for retirement anyways#but itās at an awkward stage with 8 pages left and a few of the last ones have some water damage/bleeding ink#writing problems

one fic completed for merwaincelot week :D
#completed apart from a title but shhhh#telling myself that it's alright if i don't write anything new and just organise my active wips today#got 4 more that i would love to finish in time to post for the fest#one is a nearly complete first draft and another is close to similar completion in theory but has more plot that needs tying up#another is probably 1/8 of the way through#and the final is a bit of a mess#going away for a week and coming back 4 days before the start of merwaincelot week and being like ahhhhHHH#however#i am taking a notebook and printouts of what i have so far#with the intention to finish as many first drafts when i'm away and then edit like mad when i get home#failing that if i submit them late then i submit them late can't do much more than that#bought a new notebook in wilko yesterday specifically for fic :')#anyway one down four to go#(not including my gwainthian wip and ineffable bureaucracy fic idea that i should also probably write this week for the upcoming fest)#lit talks#lit writes#merwaincelotweek2023

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 iāve been slowly using all the blank space from the notebooks iāve had since, like, middle school
the not so fun thing is that when iām 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
#anyway found the notebook that has my most recent writing#plus what i think is my last middle school notebook with any blank pages#so once i fill that up we're right in new notebook territory#(which i already have cuz i got one before i started grad school so that i had a fresh notebook just in case)#i do not recommend my choices to others but they do work for me
