#chapters 1-7 are up

[thesongistheriver]

Life continues to be a bit of a dumpster fire, so once again the next chapter of Raise My Hands, Paint My Spirit Gold is slow going. Have a snippet!

“My uncle,” Arthur said, rubbing the back of his neck. “My mother’s brother.” Merlin’s brow furrowed. “I thought your mother’s brother was dead.” “She had two,” Arthur replied, before his brain caught up to the conversation. “Wait, how did you know that the other was dead?” “The Black Knight.” When Arthur didn’t show any recognition, Merlin continued, “The wraith, remember? Oh, wait, Gaius knocked you out and you missed that bit. With the sword.” “You’re talking gibberish, Merlin.” Merlin’s nose wrinkled not-at-all adorably. “I’m actually not, but I’ll have to explain it another time."

back in the trenches... another book 7 rambles 😭😭

CRYING ABOUT THIS ACTUALLY.... DO YOU KNOW THE IMPLICATION OF THIS.... realistically, one of the first words of babies are referring to their mothers and the last "true parent" that held Silver was his mother, Princess Leia, but here baby Silver called out for his father, and Lilia didnt taught him that😭

Now these words might be calling out to Lilia now, but I'm also thinking since TWST is a world where babies can recall words or songs they heard even when theyre "not concious yet", I was thinking baby Silver heard this word when he was still with Dawn 😭😭😭 Imagine Dawn holding this baby and guiding him to speak his first words like "papa"... and thats like Dawn's last moment with Silver... AAAAA 😭😭😭😭

since this was still infant Silver, I was thinking this memory occured when Silver was adopted by Lilia only a week or months ago 😭✨ so its still possible that baby silver was reacting based on his past (which can potentially be baby Silver is remembering Dawn through Lilia in this scene)

AAAAAAAUAGFJWJFS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 The fact!!!! The fact that he only took after being his father because he didnt want to deny this baby's affection !!!! LILIAAAAA 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I can't be the only one who didn't notice this???

His background. that isn't the Diasomnia lounge.

in fact...it actually reminds me of a certain castle- a throne room belonging to maleficent herself. (sleeping beauty 1957 )

If you look closely you might notice the purple wall banners hanging above the throne that the lounge doesn't have...along with the lack of purplish tint behind the throne, the stone walls green and aged in comparison to the lounge's grey and new.

The grey throne and door just beside sebek matching the same background as the scenes which maleficent visits philip after catching him.

...

...

Or maybe I'm blowing this out of proportion.

Briar Valley event when???

(Edit: I just rewatched the movie and the photos above are bg in the film)

(Picture taken from Sleeping beauty 1957)

Is this confirmation that Malleus is actually related to maleficent or atleast Briar Valley takes place in the forbidden mountains?

who knows...

WIP Wednesday - Chapter 7 from The Redemption and Subsequent Death of Bill Cipher

“But you know what, now that you mention it…” Gideon begins.

Shooting Star and Bill both lean in a little.

“Things have been a little… weird lately with Pacifica’s parents, you know? After that whole thing with their mansion and Old Man McGucket? They’ve been awfully twitchy lately, especially Mrs. Northwest.”

“Unhappy marriage, I told you,” Bill whispers to Shooting Star who rapidly tries to wave him off.

“Now, I don’t know about that!” Gideon puts a hand to his chest like he’s shocked by the very idea. “I wouldn’t like to be the kind goin’ ‘round spreadin’ any kinda falsehoods…”

Yet the way he looks conspiratorially at Bill and Shooting Star does more than his words ever could.

Shooting Star makes a little more awkward chitchat with Gideon while Bill keeps trying not to look at Ghost Eyes who is staring very intently at him, praying that it finishes up soon. When Shooting Star tells Gideon ‘goodbye’, Bill can’t get away fast enough.

“Alright, that’s one off the list and one we can go talk to, right?”

He looks down to see that Shooting Star is frowning at her checklist.

“Come on, what’s with the look? This is the best lead we’ve gotten all day! You’re supposed to smile. And dance. Sing. Something.”

When she turns big brown eyes on him, Bill falters a step.

“I just— I don’t want my friend’s parents to be possessed by demons. Or break up. ‘Cause that’d hurt Pacifica.”

Ah. Right. Empathy.

Bill fidgets for a second before reaching out, patting Shooting Star’s shoulder awkwardly.

“I’m sure it’s… fine. Or whatever. Parents not liking each other is totally normal!”

Shooting Star manages to look, somehow, even more upset. How the hell is he supposed to talk to these children?

“Look.” Bill stops them walking for a second to get down on her level. “Things are complicated when it comes to families. No family is perfect, no person is perfect. My family was… definitely not perfect. Your family is not perfect. Yeah, it’ll probably suck if the Northwest lady has a demon in her, but we’ll take care of it, then she can figure things out with her husband and kid.”

When that doesn’t do anything to melt that frown, Bill winces.

“And, you know, she’s—“ He’s trying not to gag. “Pacifica is lucky to have a friend like you that, if things do go to shit, she can turn to.”

That seems to sink in and Shooting Star looks up at him with those same big eyes and a smile that twitches at the corners of her mouth. Bill starts to get up when there’s suddenly arms around his neck.

“Ack! Okay! Okay! We’re not hugging, we’re not doing this!”

“You suck at this, you know,” Shooting Star says. “But you’re trying, so that’s kind of nice. And what you said is also nice.”

Bill tries to extricate her arms from around his neck as he stands and only succeeds in making her cling tighter.

“If you’re trying to strangle me, you’re not doing it right!”

She’s then laughing as she lets go and Bill is able to stand up straight, rubbing at the spot in his back that tweaked at the pressure of a human child clinging onto him—stupid flesh bag.

Playing a video game you really love is so difficult sometimes. On the one hand you want to play through it as quickly as possible because you’re so excited to see what happens next, on the other hand you know you need to play it slowly so it isn’t all over too quickly.
