I feel like you specifically wrote #11 for Taakitz

“C’mere.” Taako grabs Kravitz by the wrist and tugs him over, and Kravitz hopes his heart isn’t visibly pounding through his ribs, muscle tissue, skin, and four layers of dark clothing. It’s entirely possible. Fucker’s a frog in a bongo up in there. Taako’s hands are so warm and so very touching Kravitz’s skin and not to be a regency freak about unglov’ed contact, but Jesus Christ, is all.

“What can I do for you, Taako?” Kravitz says, like he’s a retail employee in his own home and not Taako’s roommate, who has been in this exact position many a time. He knows. Why ask? He likes the rhythm of it.

“Taste this, obviously,” Taako says, snorting, for the hundredth time. He pulls a tasting spoon out of his apron and swipes a tasting taste for Kravitz’s useless opinion, and Kravitz tastes that tasting taste and feels heaven between his cells. That must be what holds his body together in a recognizable and debatably sentient shape.

“Holy shit, Taako, this is amazing.” Kravitz wants more than a taste. Is this dinner? Sharing dinner? Taako didn’t say he had a date tonight, did he? Kravitz gets more, right? Any more? Even a little?

“Every time you taste my cooking you just say it’s amazing, Krav,” Taako snaps, putting his hands on his hips. With the cinched apron, it’s a good look, and Kravitz is looking respectfully, he promises. “You’re a poet, you bitch, e-la-bor-ate! Does it need more salt or not, I swan to John!”

Kravitz grins, feeling a little called out and a lot pleased that Taako wants his actual for real opinion. And also remembered the poet thing. He doesn’t exactly brag about it. It’s a hard thing to advertise without looking like a total douchebag. Add in the acoustic guitar and his, well, everything else, and Kravitz has got to be pretty delicate with any self-advertisement whatsoever. A lot of “not in a dick way I promise” and so on. “Believe me I’m not a poser, I really do like this shit.” It’s exhausting.

Kravitz wonders if Taako remembers the poem. Kravitz’s brain gears catch something and start making a terrible machine noise in his brain that promises to chew any fine clockwork that dare think too hard about such a thing.

“Kravvy,” Taako sighs. “Think out loud.”

“Couldn’t possibly,” Kravitz says, instead of choking and dying on the nickname and the soft hint of annoyed affection stored in that particular spaghetti-stained tupperware container. “If you want a poem about it, I’ll need five to seven business days. But how about, uh,’hot damn’? No? ‘Dewishis?’ How about that one? How about that thing I said?”

Taako elbows Kravitz in the stomach, but only half out of irritation, the other half being him doubling over laughing so hard he almost forgets how to breathe.

“Fucking excuse me?”

“I said dewishis, I don’t know what more you want from me.”

“I- I don’t know!” Taako wheezes, gripping the counter. “You dumb stupid asshole, I’m trying to romance your brains out with my spices and simmering and you’re telling me my shit is dewishis? Dewishis, with your whole ass?”

“You what?” Kravitz says, remembering fondly when the room had oxygen in it. Oxygen used to be his favorite. Talk about something he could wax poetical about. Remember breathing? He could do it so easily!

“I-” Taako stands up straight, looking a lot like a deer facing an on-coming flying saucer. One with a sharp blade on top, like a Roomba with a knife taped to it. Run away, little deer. Not down the road! Go perpendicular! Perpendicular! “I, uh, I. Didn’t, say anything.” He holds the ladle like a baseball bat. “Hold still, I’ll fix this.”

“Do not fucking give me blunt force head amnesia when you just confessed your love for me!” Kravitz bolts, and Taako gives chase. It is not a large apartment for these Looney Tooney shenanigans.

“HOLD STILL I SAID! LOVE I DID NOT SAY. DID NOT, CANNOT BE PROVEN.”

“YOU FUCKING LIKE ME AND YOU’RE TRYING TO WOO ME WITH SAUCES!”

“ACCUSE ME IN A COURT OF LAW, MCCALLISTER!”

“STOP FUCKING CHASING ME, I LIKE YOU TOO!”

“YOU JUST WANT TO KEEP YOUR SKULL UNDENTED!” Taako skids to a stop, sliding on the laminate in his socks. He leans on the wall, huffing and puffing, and glares at Kravitz, who has mounted the couch in his defense.

“Maybe so,” Kravitz says, gravely as possible. “Or maybe I was thinking about kissing you when I tasted it so I couldn’t do any words good at you, did you think of that?”

“Fuck you! Bullshit! I call bullshit!”

“I can prove it. Easy. C’mere.” Kravitz hops off the couch. Taako squints, still gripping the ladle with force. Kravitz wonders if his gambit is gonzo, but then he’s grappled by the lapels and kissed quite intensely. It is not how Kravitz imagined this would go.

It is fucking amazing, though. Kravitz even considers passing out about it. Very regency.

Taako pulls back, grip still unrelenting. He eyes Kravitz, and Kravitz returns the look, and they catch their breath. And they laugh.

“Don’t tell me you did that to get out of describing my cooking, asshole.”

“Nah,” Kravitz says, pulling him into another kiss. “I’ve been pining for ages like a dumb idiot, I promise.”

“Good,” Taako says, definitively. And then, “Fuck! My sauce!!!” and bolts back to the burner, leaving poor dumbstruck Kravitz with hand-drawn hearts chirping around his head.

Writing the build-up of this story just so that I can dissect the juicy family relations that everyone has. Medieval writers and poets did not skimp on the dramatic details. Like the betrayed brother arc of Lionel and Bors? Juicy. The blood feud of the Pella Fellas and Orkney Bros? Scrumptious. Tristan having a torrid affair with Isolde? Delicious. The insane things that all of Ygraine's kids do constantly? Wonderful. I am well-fed with source material to use and reference.

Honorable mention to the delightful relationship that is Sir Kay and Arthur being adopted brothers and Kay just being infinitely cooler than Arthur even though Arthur is the king.

#idk the actual name for the kids of Pellinore so i just call them the pella fellas lmao #arthurian legend #writer stuff #writing #arthuriana #knights of the round table #king arthur #sir bors #sir lionel

From the Kayla X "Legendary Spirits" blind box figure collection:

Her name is Bleeding.

This one is interesting! Her description names her little birds as being rakshasa, which is a type of Hindu malevolent spirit. But! In Chinese Buddhism the name was translated into luosha, or luosha-gui according to a Cambridge University Press article that I am not paying $100 to fully access.

But "luosha" is the key to finding who she is! There's an anthology of folktales and stories from the Qing Dynasty called the Zibuyu, or "What the Master (Confucius) would not discuss" collected by the poet Yuan Mei! The only copies I could find for sale (even digital copies) are several hundred dollars, but there are scraps available. Multiple blogs and podcasts reference a story about a luosha bird disguising itself as a bride, citing the anthology as a source, and by searching for "bird" in the Zibuyu on Google Books, I wasn't able to read full pages, but line excerpts confirm that story exists on page 255 to 256. I did request access to a PDF on ResearchGate by the English translators, Paolo Santangelo and Yan Beiwen, so if that goes anywhere I'll update this post.

Anyway, the story itself! Here's the best summary I could find, from weirdtales.me

And here are the scraps I could get from Google Books, to confirm it as the source this and others use:

So there we go, my best guess as to who and what Bleeding is meant to be. The red spots under her eyes seem to represent her eyes bleeding, she's wearing her red wedding dress and veil, and the gray and white birds with her are luosha, which are related to the Hindu rakshasa. Is she meant to be the luosha bride herself, or is she the human bride who got her eyes pecked out? There's no way to know, which I love.

I really want to read that book now, and am hoping I get a response from my PDF request. Searching out the identities of these blind box girls has been super fun!

Lista de cumparaturi a unui poet

Nu mi se ntampla des, in fapt e prima oara. Asta imi aduce aminte de aparitia in spatiul public a primelor poeme spinoase si erotice a lui Brumar. Atunci am fost foarte pudibond, astazi n as mai fi.

Å oppdage fremtiden ~ Discovering the future ~ Zukunft entdecken

At Holmlia church I meet Pastor Silja. Holmlia has been a member of Fremtiden bor hos oss from the very beginning.

Pastor Silja was part of a group around the bishop that visited Member churches of Framtiden bor hos oss in the diocese of Göteborg. She tells me about a church just outside of Göteborg, that hosts refugees each wednesday and opens the entire building as consultation center, offering legal, medical, and social advice – bringing in lawyers, social workers, physicians, psychologists, musicians etc. Interestingly I happened to recognize this church from a self organized continued education of Pastors in the deanery of Frankfurt*. I recall being highly impressed by the hospitality of this congregation. We did talk with the Pastor about the future being around us and with us already – the terminology “Framtiden bor hos oss” – was not used then or didn’t occur to us as a key word. So, Pastor Silje and I share this experience.

Together with the church musician Pastor Silje organized an event in the tea house tradition at Holmlia. Tea houses in the Middle East tradition host music, narrative and poetry and always have a flair from all over the world. At another event a Persian and a Norwegian poet were in dialog with Syrian music.

She also shows me pictures of a meeting of confirmands from Holmlia Church, and Coran schools of three different mosques in the area. Together they decided to come together and pick litter at the local park, also sharing food and conversation. Silje recalls the effort of having a conversation with the Imam and Members of the board and her joy, when the “Yes, we’ll do this!” was said. All had a good time and at the end of the day the youth wished to do this again.

I ask Pastor Silje, how the church members at holmlia get along with the idea of Fremtiden bor hos oss. She explains how the council is very much invested in FBHO at Holmlia. The events bring some church members and people from around Oslo to Holmlia church.

The area of Holmlia has eveloped since the 80’s. The church was built in the 90’s. A high percentage of inhabitants were not born in Norway. So, dialogue of cultures leads the way to the future in Holmlia.

*) This consultation center on church grounds was also my role modell for implementing the consultation center in the fellowship house of our congregation in Bad Ems, shortly after the first Ukranians arrived in Nasauer Land (2022).

The Song of History:

Cultural Inspirations for

The Demon of the Well

by James B. Hendricks

As I have said, the history and cultural traditions of those who dwell in the oasis towns along the Old Silk Road have inspired my tale, The Demon of the Well. For many centuries, Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and other ethnic groups have grown crops along the desert’s fringe in Xinjiang. They are watered by ancient systems of canals diverting snowmelt water from rivers rushing out of the encircling mountains, before these streams meet their end in the dry sands and salt flats of the Tarim Basin.

For millennia, traders plied the trails of the Silk Road that navigated the rim of the Taklamakan Desert, bearing loads of silk and jade. They found their rest and sustenance at caravanserais established in the old oasis farming communities, where the trails met a crossing river. It is in a caravanserai much like one of these, where the trader in my story has found a home for retirement from his travels. And where his hosts allow him to pursue a modest trade as a woodworker. Here, the children of the town find him, and grow ever more curious about this mysterious old character, and the strange stories whispered about his adventures.

When the trader’s young friends try to learn more than rumors about his past, the trader deflects them at first, suggesting that the storytellers at the market square have more entertaining tales than he. And there are many stories to tell. The history of the people of the Tarim Basin relates cycles of war, with times of peace. And so it is also, in the trader’s world. When at last a crisis convinces him to speak, he tells of how warfare caused him to make a terrible Faustian bargain. Which sets the stage for an effort at redemption.

In the prologue, the narrator mentions a greenish glow that emanates from the hem of the trader’s robe. A light that only the narrator and a few of his other friends could see. It is no coincidence that Old World traditions tell of a similar glow emitting from the robe of the legendary, immortal al-Khizr the Green – keeper of springs. In the traditions of many religions and cultures of southwestern Asia, Khizr is described as a wandering immortal – guide and companion to mystics and saints, and a guardian angel who can freely travel through space and time to come to the aid of those in need. He is associated with figures in a wide range of legends, from the Green Knight of Arthurian legend to Utnapishtim, the immortal equivalent of Noah in Sumerian mythology, and serves as a teacher to Moses himself. So, it is no wonder that he comes to the aid of the trader in my story, through the “...gift of distant sages.” Though bewildering to the trader, and with almost greater power than he can bear on its arrival, help from al-Khizr and others is with him in his time of need, because he once gazed into the mystic Cup of Knowledge – and survived.

This mystic chalice of my story was inspired by many sources. Most notably by the Cup of Jamshid, which makes frequent appearances in Persian literature.

In the year 1010 C.E., the poet Abolqasem Ferdowsi completed his Shahnameh – an epic recording of the great cycle of Persian legends shared by storytellers for a thousand years before his time. In these stories, the legendary first king of Iran was Jamshid, who possessed a magic chalice that, like Galadriel’s mirror in The Lord of the Rings, could be used as an instrument of divination to see events in the past, present and future.

I grew up with tales of King Arthur and his knights searching for the Holy Grail, and these stories clearly had their effect on me. Research on this cycle of legends reminded me of how the knights Galahad, Percival and Bors succeed, finding the Chalice and healing the Fisher King, thereby restoring the wasteland that his realm had become. Exploring further, I discovered the significance of Britain and Ireland’s sacred wells and read about tales of the otherworldly maidens who kept them and offered water from those springs with their magic cups. In the legends, the fate of humankind goes awry when war-like men defile the maidens and steal their cups. And legends tell of the efforts to right those wrongs.

In my story, such a cup has ended up in a very different place from the healing well of its origin. The elder soldier has cached it on the bank of a well with boiling hot, undrinkable water, in the desolate realm of a malevolent and destructive demon. At the end of the story, the trader leaves the Cup of Knowledge in the soldiers’ grave because he knows that whoever comes after him will need its power for a final confrontation with the demon.

Precious (Leah Williamson x Reader)

A chorus a voices protested as Leah held up her pick for movie night.

"Not again Leah." was the gist of it

The movie Leah held in her hand was none other that her favourite and the one where she had forced her teammates to watch as well. The one and only Lord of The Ring

Everyone grumbled and one by one they left the room to go to Katie's house. It was only when I spoke did Leah look up with a sad frown on her face.

"I'll watch it with you."

"Thanks Y/n," She laughed dryly "But you don't have to."

"No really," I got up off the bed to sit next to her "I love Lord of The Ring my favourite character is Legolas."

She looked at me in amazement then all of a sudden she squealed in agreement and jammed the CD in the DVD player. (Don't judge me, it's what I have at home)

(If you young people don't know what a DVD player is ... what a sad generation)

(I am also a teen ... so no judgement ...)

As we sat in silence, sometimes making commentary on how whiney Frodo was and how Sam was the real protagonist, I knew she was happy. We binged watched the entire three movies and when we stopped Leah realized it was already 2 a.m.

Since it was already so late Leah offered to drive me home.

She walked to the grinning as I did a horrible impression of Gimli, but I could tell for some reason she was nervous.

"Hey Y/n?" She stopped me just as I was about to close my door.

"Yes?" I opened it wider so I could look at her

"Thank you," She looked down as the ground, her cheeks donning a light pink "For watching the movie with me."

I grinned at her walking closer to her "No problem Leah, I had a lot fun."

"Really?" She looked up, curious.

"If by my life or death I can protect you I will. You have my sword." I quoted Aragorn, tilting my head to get a better look at her blushing face.

She grinned and quoted the next line "And you have my bow"

"Good night Legolas."

"Good night Aragorn."

~~~

It had been weeks since Y/n and Leah had watched Lord of the Ring and were now attached to the hip.

Since Leah was the biggest LotR fan out of the both of them, she decided to teach me Elvish.

I sucked at it.

Like really sucked. Every time she tried to teach it to me I kept getting lost in her eyes, or her hands, or lips, or well you get the idea.

It sucked but I got to spend time with Leah.

To be honest I never heard of Lord of the Rings until I heard Leah talking about it to Beth. She was telling Beth about how amazing the movie is, how perfect the casting was. As I stared at them from across the room I couldn't convey how perfect she was.

So I made it my mission to know everything about Lord of the Ring. I stayed up till the wee hours of the night reading the books, bing watched the movies several times to know the lines. Every time I almost fell asleep reading the books I remembered Leah's face and powered through it.

Now here I am listening to Leah speak in Elvish.

As I listened to her go on and on about something I decided to try my hardest to learn Elvish, just so I could tell her how I felt.

~~~

I sighed shifting from foot to foot in front of Leah's door

"Todays the day." I thought, feeling a rush of confidence making me ring the door bell. Only a few seconds after the girl I fell for so long ago opened the door.

Her bright eyes shining, with a slight smirk poking through her face.

I breathed in deeply before I poured my heart out to my best friend.

"Leah Williamson, im mel cin. Im wanted na treneri- cin since mín were in cín car singing at i caw -o mín lungs na Despacito. Im asked cin cín favourite poet a cin answered Pablo Nuerdo, a so "im mel cin ú- knowing how, ben ir, ben o where. Im mel cin simplui, ú- problems ben pride: im mel cin in hi té because im ceri- ú- know anui other té -o loving but hi, in which ennas na- baw im ben cin, so intimate i cín bor upon nin chest na- nin bor, so intimate i ir im dant- asleep cín eyes close." im know how big -o a fan cin are -o Legolas, but im baur cin na n- Aragorn so im tur- n- cín Arywen. “im Would Rather Share er Lifetime With cin Than níf All i Ages -o hi ambar eriol.” Cin, Leah Williamson are nin precious."

"Leah Williamson, I love you. I wanted to tell you since we were in your car singing at the top of our lungs to Despacito. I asked you your favourite poet and you answered Pablo Nuerdo, and so "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close." I know how big of a fan you are of Legolas, but I need you to be Aragorn so I can be your Arywen. “I Would Rather Share One Lifetime With You Than Face All The Ages Of This World Alone.” You Leah Williamson are my precious."

It took her a bit to translate but because of my nervousness I thought she was going to reject me, so I started to walk away until I felt a warm hand on my arm spinning me around and soft lips on mine.

When we broke away she leaned her forehead on mine before whispering

"Im'll gladlui n- cín Aragorn."

"I'll gladly be your Aragorn."
