#X / kindred. are you there / dear wolf?

[kindredsmercy]

@esreal said ; x

" I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me. " ( for kindred perhaps? eyes emoji.... )

// the kindred perch upon a rock, nearby the boy. shadows surround them, like they bring their own kind of darkness into the night. appearance glitches only momentarily: before settling into the lamb and the wolf, a very traditonal piltovan depiction.

lamb, as the kind arrow, that will guide you to the afterlife, in peace. similarly, wolf circles the rock, but his appearance has it's own roughness, although, it is almost anxious in nature. the way he pushes his paws into the ground, then curls up like a wounded dog.

being spoken to surprises them enough, for lamb to tilt her head, curiously.

they're words that the kindred don't hear very often. many people welcome death, especially piltovan's seem to have grown content with the reality, so it is not inherently something she views as weird. but, perhaps for ezreal's dismay, they were not here for him. hooved feet step forwards, doing a little jump off of the rock, and onto the ground beneath it.

ezreal says those words like he's been expecting them. like, he'd been disappointed, everytime they hadn't taken him away. there's no bow in lamb's hands, and she eyes him almost innocently. " we are not here for you. " , soft words speak, leave the lamb's mouth in an almost gentle manner. " it is not yet your time. but you like playing a dangerous game. " , if you listen closely, there could be a smile heard in their voice.

wolf lift's his head, with a huff, a groan, then lays it back down. she hears him disapprove in the back of her head, but it's something that would not be expressed outwardly. she would not take him before his time, as much as wolf may want to.

" what makes you think we are? "

[kindredsmercy]

// tradition draws them in curiously. seeing festivals in their honor is something that draws their interest in an eerie way: they walk the streets like it's a place they belong, for once, in their long-lived destiny. kindred puts one foot after the other, as if they were meant to be here, for no other reason than to be themselves.

something, other than the kindred, the lamb and the wolf, the bird and the snake, the little girl and the wolf, the pale death, or whatever other iteration someone may conjure up of them, when they appear in front of them.

walking the streets of zaun is an especially comforting experience. while the people of zaun fear them just as much as anyone might, something about their depiction is one that brings them comfort. one entity, humanoid in nature, but merged and molded out of what would be the the traditional depiction.

the kindred find comfort in the closeness their two forms are allowed.

of course, they are not the only ones dressed as the pale death. it is of tradition to wander the streets of zaun, in a costume. they blend in, only draw some curious looks, because of how eerily real their costume seems to be.

it's a thought that would draw a smile to lamb's face, had they their own face to depict one. but molten together with wolf, who does not find as much amusement in some of the looks they are given, their expression stays neutral. there is no order behind the reason they knock on the last drop's door. they have been here many a times, to take away. today, they are here, to celebrate tradition, to show themselves kind.

the expression in jinx' face is exactly the one lamb expected. she has seen hers many times, from the shadows, or when taking away the ones she'd loved. they remember everytime, and every moment they have spent with her. wolf agrees in the back of their head.

then, the pale death tilts it's head, listening to the familiar nursery rhyme.

" I accept your offering and I'll take whatever you bring. " , they respond, a voice gentle, but distorted, it doesn't sound human. " your death will be delayed, as long as it is kindness you displayed. "

a hand reaches out. inhuman, inhuman. " child, you have seen much suffering. today, when the streets are bustling, the pale death will extend mercy's hand, all around the land. "

they clear their throat, almost as if to sell the act, as an act. " I have seen your face many a-times. what will you give now, along with those rhymes? "

"Almost."

Jinx reached for one of the wood pieces. Gingerly pulling it out of the tower, Isha and her had built, she held her breath, praying the tower would not collapse in on itself. Yet even with a plank missing, it still held. Jinx clutched the piece in her hand and with a satisfied grin called out: "Yes!"

Isha's hands went for her face and she giggled happily, rocking back and forth and clapping. As she looked for a plank to pull out herself, Jinx absentmindedly reached for the bowl with small, fluffy pies, filled to the brim with various kinds of meats - fish and human - in sauces. Catching her action, Isha quickly grabbed Jinx's wrist and pulled her hand away.

"What's it now, squirt?", Jinx asked patiently.

Isha let go of Jinx's wrist. Pointing at the basket, she then mimed an elongated muzzle before her face and a pair of pointy ears behind her hair. Isha pointed at Jinx with a frown and shook her head.

Jinx snorted in bemusement. She said: "You'd really think the Pale Death would notice if we snacked some of their treats? Please, they have not shown up yet anyway!"

The Pale Death was what Zaun called its iteration of Kindred. Wolf and Lamb were fused into one being here, a humanoid chimaera with a wolf skull for a head and lamb fur on its shoulders. The Travel of the Pale Death encompassed the tradition of someone dressed as Kindred going from house to house and asking for entry. The inhabitants then had to come up with an excuse why Death may not enter. Usually, they bribed the figure with some of their food. The tradition supposedly built solidarity.

A knock at The Last Drop's door. Isha immediately picked up the basket with pies and rushed to it. Jinx rose and trotted around the Jenga tower. "Oih, wait for me, squirt!", she called as she hurried after Isha. One of her hands idly touched Zapper's handle. Should someone seek trouble, they would be greeted by a nasty surprise.

Opening the door - Isha had barely been able to stay still -, Jinx was met with the Pale Death. She blinked in surprise and shock. The Zaunites who dressed up as the Pale Death tended to use white scarves and animal skulls to imitate the real deal. This one seemed to have gone the extra mile for they looked really frightfully accurate.

Isha was about to just offer the food up, but Jinx caught her by the shirt collar and softly pulled her back to her side. She said, remembering the words of the fables and nursery rhymes: "Oh, Pale Death, pass by our house. We fear your disease in dread and stay quiet as a mouse. So let us live, be so good. In exchange, you may have some of our food."

@kindredsmercy liked for a Christmas (my version) themed starter.

You know what they say, no? An ask a day keeps the boredom away 🎉😌

So here I am, again yolo, with another question for you: what is your favourite writing trope (es. time-travel, found family, etc)?

~ I'm considering valid both writing and reading ~

Hey there, sweetie! Thanks for the asks, boredom has officially been swept aside by your lovely question 🌺

[ [ P.S. You are truly a marvellous person and I really do appreciate the time and consideration to drop by my humble inbox! It has been most graced by you, my dear friend! ] ]

FANFIC QUESTION

What is My Favourite Writing Tropes?

(P.S. this is going to be a long ramble so I am sorry in advanced 😊 )

Time Travel

I absolutely love love love Time Travel fics and I have written a few myself:

- Into the Anomaly (the 100)

- Lessons of Needles and Blades (GoT)

I also have projects featuring Time Travel:

- Farren Emerson in The Vampire Slayer (BtVS)

- Louise Hammond in Blooperverse (X-Men)

Not just like regular time travel where the characters go back to any random time period, but time travel where the characters go back to the beginning of the story with the aim of fixing things. So, I think it would be more accurate to say that I love Time-Travel Fix Its.

I got into Time-Travel Fix-Its when I started reading Game of Thrones fics, usually where Sansa Stark went back in time to prevent the deaths of her family members.

However, the first Time-Travel Fix It fic that I read was a Fairy Tail fic but it was where the writer technically broke fourth wall and introduced a character from our world who after they died, was allowed to choose any fictional universe to live in as a character and they chose Fairy Tail. My OC Kindred Blanche and her story was inspired by that fic, so check it out if it perks your interest!

Fix-It

Another thing I love to write is straight up Fix It fics. I find this is usually more tolerable with an OC, so you can say that it is Fix-It fics that ignited my passion for writing and delivering OC content like:

- Breathe for Me (Teen Wolf)

- A More Savage Narnia (Than The One You Left Behind) (Narnia)

You can argue that all of my OC projects are intended to be Fix-Its, including Agents of Fate (Kindred Blanche), The Seda Series (Serina Seda) and Blooperverse (Louise Hammond). They were the most intended to be Fix Its. If I had to pick the least Fix It OC I would have to pick Indianna Taylor from my True Blue project.

You can all thank the showrunners of the 100 and Game of Thrones for my relentless changes to canon. And by thank you, I mean tell them a fuck you for me 💕 (not you, sweetie, not you)

Found Family

A big trope that I love to see and write is Found Family. I really like putting the whole "It's the friendships we make along the way" ideology into perspective in my fics. Just writing about a big support system full of unique and sometimes (always) dysfunctional people is the best way to go some days and its always great to write these raw and ever-developing dynamics. Its my goal to finish a whole series and to read through it so I can see the journey of people who were once strangers who would now die for each other.

I think my fics with the biggest Found Family trope would be Breathe for Me and Into the Anomaly, but also: Agents of Fate, Blooperverse, The Seda Series and Minds of the Damned project (Persephone Shaw).

Slow Burn

There is nothing I like to see more than a good ole' fashioned relationship development. Sometimes in order for that to get done, we need the slow burn, the one that takes six seasons or over a hundred years to see us get a kiss (even if its during a CPR scene - looking at you, Bellarke).

Because I like to write big, multi-chap series, I really drive home the slow burn. There needs to be a solid level of friendship, communication and trust before they're - for a lack of a better term - going at it like rabbits. For me, that could take until the end of the fic or that could take another two instalments (lmao, my Narnia fic).

Rest assured, I do fill that gap with lots of mutual pining, trauma bonding, totally platonic hand-holding and slow dancing, totally friendly concern for their welfare, angst, conflicted feelings, as well as some cute background relationships unfolding to give them a little push.

Anyway, I think you get the picture 😅

Special Mentions to Tropes:

+ Mutual Pining.

+ Friends to Lovers.

+ Childhood Friends to Strangers to Enemies to Lovers (super specific - I know😉)

+ Enemies to Lovers.

+ Rivals to Lovers.

+ Opposites Attract (e.g. Sunflower Child and Dark Horse)

My Students Deserve Better

As a teacher and an avid reader, I’ve always believed that books were the keys that could open any doorway. And as a high school English teacher in a low income district, I believed that if I could just get books in the hands of my students and got them to read a little bit every day it was a victory. But getting them to read every day, even as I make time for it every day in my lesson plans, was like pulling teeth. I kept pushing them to keep trying, to give it a shot, to just pick SOMETHING from my classroom library to read.

And after reposting all the comprehensive lists of black authors and characters and even the new release lists for Pride month I realized why so many were struggling to remain engaged with the books I kept shoving at them: I don’t have any of those books on the shelves in my classroom library.

I have been a terrible ally.

I spent so much time trying to get them to love the same books that I read and loved that I never paid any attention to the fact that they were always books with heroes and heroines that I could always relate to, because they were like me or mirrored my experiences. And it’s mostly because my classroom books have always come from my personal library or books that were donated, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that I haven’t done much to change that. And in this way I have failed my students.

So you can bet your ass my summer reading list and purchase list for the fall looks WAY different than it normally does. I’ve put the list I’ve compiled so far below. If you have any other recs you think I should add or if you can donate a book to my classroom library, PLEASE let me know. My kids deserve better representation of their voices in my classroom and I want to do my best to make it happen. Thank you❤️

Book List 2018

I’m a couple weeks behind on this, but here’s the list of books I read in 2018. I’ve broken it down by category, though this is pretty loose since, you know, genres bleed into one another and such. You can also find reviews of some of these books here, and I always take requests for reviews as well. Follow me on Goodreads to see what I’m reading and rating. 

Let me know what you think if you’ve read any of these books or have recommendations, and, as always, please feel free to send me malicious personal attacks if I say something you disagree with.

Worst of 2018

Every single book I read this past year had redemptive value. Even if it was total garbage, it still taught me some stuff (like how not to write a book). Even a bad book can be a good book if you let it be.

So, here’re a few books that didn’t quite hit the spot for me:

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit by Daniel Quinn

Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee

Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife by Mary Roach

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Ink Spots by Brian McDonald

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson

Best of 2018

It was genuinely difficult to choose my top books of 2018. What a literary year it has been for me. 2018 marks the most books I’ve read in a year, and I was lucky enough to come across some real game-changers. I finally read the Harry Potter series and, boy howdy, did it ever live up to the hype. What took me so long?? But this was, more than anything, the year of James Baldwin. He has made an indelible mark on me as a reader, a writer, and a human. What a year this has been! I hope to read a fraction as much beautiful, lovely, challenging, profound prose in 2019. 

In no particular order, here are the books of 2018 that most moved me, shook me, rattled me, rolled me:

Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst by Robert Sapolsky

Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom by bell hooks

The Pragmatic Turn by Richard J. Bernstein

Pragmatism and Feminism: Reweaving the Social Fabric by Charlene Haddock Seigfried

Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson

Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay

Well, there you have it, folks. Here’s to many more good books in the years to come! 

The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story. —Ursula K. Le Guin
