Legend of the Bloody Shoulder

She picks her way through the dark smoke and fallen

Her precious cargo laying heavy on her back

He is wounded but still breathing, blood trickling 

Down her grey speckled shoulder into the sand

There are many versions of this legend,

This is the one I know.

A brave Prince of the wandering desert people

Prepared for war with his warriors behind him

He mounts his finest steed, a bold grey mare

With dark eyes and nose, but white silk body.

Her swift legs carry him racing into battle

Her kicks and bites defend him from harm

He stabs, he slices, foes fall dead around him

But through his body a spear is thrust.

The battle is over, all are wounded or soon dead

The horses have all fled from sound of battle

Only the grey mare remains, with her burden

Her master dying on her back, stains her red.

She knows her duty, she bears him home safely

Through night and day of desert travel

On her back, with failing breath he prays

“Lord, bless this mare and her descendants.”

She reaches home as second day dawns

His people cry out with her quiet arrival

They take him down, he is cold and stiff

Her prince she brought home to be buried.

His wife brings water, she tries her best to clean

The mare’s now dark-red bloody shoulder

But as she rubs, the mare falls heavy to the ground 

Her sides heaving with exhaustion, and what’s more,

As the prince is buried, is birthed a blood-red colt

Who grows to take his mother’s pale grey coat

The mother who saved her son and master both

On her colt the mark of her courage and loyalty

In his bloody shoulder marking 

And all her children after.

The bloody shoulder is a marking that appears on grey horses of Arabian descent. It's name is said to come from the legend of a gray mare that carried her injured rider back from a deadly battle, his blood staining her shoulder red. She then gave birth to a foal who bore the same marking as his dam, and her descendants ever since have carried this mark in honor of their ancestor

i love thomas and martha so much 😭 having so much thoughts of them being super protective of bruce 😞

Listen, the Waynes being random, well meaning, pedestrian figures who were just good people who caught the worst guy on a bad day makes sense and is nice. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

However, I adore Matt Reeve’s portrayal of them in The Batman. He paints them in such a discreetly dark lighting, and in my mind, it works. It feels like we’re finally getting characters instead of ghosts, imo.

As much as I’d love to believe Alfred when he said Thomas had no idea Carmine would kill that reporter, I find it non plausible for a number of reasons.

Carmine is a predator in the open. He has no reason to hide his danger because everyone around is too powerless to stop him. I just find it hard to believe that Thomas honestly expected just a stern talking to and nothing more.

Thomas making a selfish call, deciding that if he has to dance with the devil, he might as well lead, is just a really cool detail.

There’s a clear cut, ruthless food chain in Gotham, and it’s about time the Waynes were recognised for what they are: They weren’t tragedies, they were THREATS.

Threats who were very, very comfortable with making anyone who poses a danger to Bruce, their little pearl, their pride and joy, both a target and example.

Explaining the base road-trip au! (Finally!)

The nuke drops

XD forces himself down Dream's throat as a desperate attempt to keep anything alive

Dream survives, but he's too unstable to exist basically

Callahan also forces himself down Dream's throat to stable him

Dream is left alone everyone he has ever known gone

All that is left of them is the little apocalypses they had all started

**jump to about 1500-ish years later**

Dream has spend his entire immortality keeping all the supernatural shit the dsmp habitants had caused in check

The dsmp has become a parallel reality of sorts, keeping everything in

Everyone from he dsmp has been reincarnated into modern era, with no memories of their past life

Quackity, after a pretty rough fight with his brother, decides that he needs to get away for a bit

A road trip sounds good. He'll drive away and cry and go to the beach and when he comes back everything will feel better

Quackity drives straight into the dsmp.

Dream sees him entering and slips into the back of the car

The fact that its... Quackity. And it's the first person Dream has seen in thousands of years forces him back to his prison era body, wounds, missing fingers and all

Yeah... so when you force down the power of two gods into a mortal they don't end up being the most stable

But if Dream leaves Quackity will die. And he cant- he'd better. He's better then that

From Quackity's POV there's something on his backseat ordering him not to turn around

But it knows how to navigate this hell he's in, so he has no choise

And so starts the worst road-trip in existence

Yipppe!!!

“Today's Horse Of A Different Color lives in England and her photo was taken by Betty Finke. Her name is Helmwind Lilliput and she has three lines to *El Shaklan, who is often found in the pedigrees of bloody marked horses. She's a granddaughter of World Junior Champion Colt and U.S. National Champion Senior Stalllion *FS Bengali. She and Lady Love BSF, who I featured here recently, have the most prominent bloody markings of all the Arabians I've seen” - Arlene Magid Pedigree Research

"Do not seek forgiveness, for it will not ease the burden. It weighs as it should."

Redemption Arc

Redemption Arc- "Your story had a pretty rough start and you did some things you're not proud of, but you made the choice to change. I won't go through how important it is to accept responsibility and keep striving to improve or whatever because you know that already. What I think you should know is that your fuel does not need to be shame. You don’t need to stand over the bathroom sink with your blood in your hands until you can no longer make out your reflection. You will look at your face and you will see the person you used to be, but that person no longer exists. Today, you are looking, and that makes all the difference."

tagged by @iron-sparrow tyty!! It was fun to try and think of a way for this to fit at least one version of Hazel and I think I got it.

Tansui's Adventures - #9, Allies and Enemies

By the time Tansui had delivered the treats and gotten the news, it was starting to be evening again - and he was more than ready to just curl up by the stairs and sleep. However, Papashan informed the thaumaturge about something alarming… 

Someone of importance had gone missing. And the rounds were to find some clues. And now, knowing someone was out there, alone and possibly in danger, how was Tansui supposed to sleep? Answer, they couldn’t. And thus, the new mage set for searching this missing person. 

Thankfully, it didn’t take too long - natural curiosity and their ability to attract situations was for once playing in their favour… until, as the roguishly handsome stranger with white hair and quick with so fittingly put it, the dead came out to play. 

Tansui hadn’t fought against Voidsent in what felt like years, and yet they’d always remember the stench of one. Thankfully though, they had some help this time - the stranger taking majority of the heat while Tansui could focus on slinging his spells. Magic from both the mage in training and the Voidsent flashed in the night, illuminating the otherwise dark landscape - the steel of the strangers sword glinting at every spell and attack slung. 

Even when additional company was brought in, or when the claws came far too close for comfort, or when they were starting to run awfully low on fire-power for a short moment, Tansui felt oddly at ease - knowing someone was there, had his back for however short of a moment, that they weren’t in this alone for once was a comforting thought. 

One last Astral Fire was what finally took the Voidsent down, allowing Tansui to take a step back, catch his breath, and let the stranger help with the lady. She was apparently his responsibility, or some sort - Tansui might’ve slipped on his focus roughly there, distracted by a crystal on the ground….
