Characters' Wishing Stars

(Updated to include every character's wish, then added more thoughts about more of the other wishes. Thoughts on Norton's/Fool's Gold's and Jose's are at the end)

Part 1 - Wishing Stars

Survivors

Lucky: I wish for good fortune for everyone! May the lucky star bless all!

Emily: May all be endowed with wellness and joy. May sickness be but a distant shadow in this world.

Freddy: I've made some mistakes, Martha, but I've never regretted loving you.

Kreacher: Set adrift toward the yonder, and let everyone know: Kreacher's ambitions shall be made manifest! Mark my words!

Emma: Father, Mother, are you well? Do you, too, gaze up at the stars this evening?

Servais: I wish to one day stand on the grandest stage of magic! That day will surely come.

Kurt: To live in this beautiful world is a blessing, and in the future, I hope to pursue adventures in higher, farther, and grander realms!

Martha: May each soul find sanctuary, never to lose oneself, never to drift astray.

Tracy: Changing the world might be too lofty an ideal, but I at least want to invent things that bring happiness to more people!

William: Someday, I will be acknowledged! Victory is the domain of the brave-those who defy adversity!

Helena: The night sky must be beautiful, just as it is in my imagination. If possible, I'd like to see this wonderful world with my own eyes someday.

Fiona: Mother, do you see? I've taken another step closer to the truth of this world.

Vera: Vera, I wish you well. It was all worth it.

Kevin: They say the departed become stars.. Even now, I still remain shamefully illuminated by your light.

Margaretha: In the not-too-distant future, there will surely be a stage as brilliant as this starry sky meant solely for me. This is my wish.

Eli: Stars, rivers, flowers. This is a beautiful dream I never anticipated, so please let this dream last a little longer.

Aesop: May this lantern find tranquil shores, as may I.

Norton: I want to live a better life.

Patricia: May fate judge all wrongdoing.

Murro: Well-being to all! I hope someone, somewhere, will remember Murro.

Jose: May all my loved ones embark on their own journeys, and may lighthouses guide them to safe harbors.

Demi: Brother, are you well? Are you admiring this starry sky too?

Victor: To whoever sees my letter and lantern, know that Victor wishes you eternal happiness.

Andrew: Though I cannot gaze directly upon the sun, this eve, I've beheld the most resplendent darkness. I am grateful for this night and for those who accompany me.

Luca: Those who march toward science and truth will not regret it. One day, I will prove everything.

Melly: What a beautiful night. I hope all those little lives be cherished, as they rest beneath the grass and leaves.

Edgar: The shifting starry sky hides endless beauty and mystery, and we mortals, mere chroniclers of this splendor, stand and gaze, as do I.

Ganji: I wish the people of my hometown healthy and prosperous. At least, tonight, I'm looking at the same sky as you.

Annie: May every child grow in peace and happiness. May every little toy cradle your grandest dreams.

Emil: I often forget the past, but from now on, every day shall brim with bliss. I wish that everyone could remember only happiness.

Ada: I wish for Emil's good health. May we all cherish the present and the love of others.

Orpheus: Fate pens the finest tales, so I hope everyone's story holds fewer regrets, twists, and at least, more favorable conclusions.

Memory: The stars are exceptionally beautiful tonight! I also wish to be a kind, loving person who brings happiness to everyone.

Weeping Clown: One day, when the audience watches Joker, they, too, will wear a genuine, satisfied smile.

Professor: I don't have any wishes, save for this lantern to journey far, far away.

Qi: May old companions fare well.

Frederick: The night always brings to mind fragments of the past and chaotic whispers, yet from such whispers, countless great inspirations arise.

Alice: Alice, follow the path you believe to be true, for earnest living begets serendipity.

Charles: Stars, please tell me - should I hold on a little longer?

Lily: I shall alter all through sheer endeavor, Simon.

Matthias: Will the moonlight shine on me… on Matthias?

Florian: The bright yet warmthless stars evoke memories of childhood Christmases.

Evelyn: Are you still searching for your destination.

Hunters

Leo: Lisa, may you grow up healthy and safe.

Joker: Come on! I wish for everyone to share in the madness and mirth with me!

Jack: Should I wish for clarity, or pray to forever bask in this enchanting night…

Bane: May no creature suffer harm. May the heart of humanity awaken to conscience.

Violetta: Oh, beautiful stars… I wish everyone well! I hope… I hope everyone can be loved.

Michiko: Love is bittersweet, and time ticks on without a care. Gazing at the moon always brings to mind those no longer with us.

Hastur: (There is no writing on the wishing star, but it shows signs of having been soaked in water.)

Wu Chang: May you be well, may the years be kind, and may lovers remain together in love.

Joseph: Does moonlight hold the power to turn back time? If such a thing were true, I'd wish to return to the time when you were still here.

Burke: It's too late for me to start making any wishes. But if everyone else is safe and happy, this old soul can rest easy.

Yidhra: (The wishing star is blank, but a fierce night wind blows upon beholding it.)

Robbie: I want a songbird that can fly to where my parents are and sing to them.

Luchino: Rather than making wishes, I believe humanity ought to strive for advancement through diligence.

Mary: The illusion of opulence has been shattered. Given another beginning, I'd choose to be the master of my destiny.

Bonbon: It's been a pleasure knowing you! Bonbon!

Ann: I'm lucky to have found a purpose in life. I hope everyone's kindness and faith will not be in vain.

Antonio: My violin bow, please play the most exquisite, unbound melodies.

Galatea: Stars above, please grant me more inspiration and opportunities to create beautiful works.

Percy: (The wishing star is unmarked, save for traces of motor oil, resembling a moon perhaps?)

Polun: We want money! Wealth! Fame! Of course, we want our dear father and mother too!

Grace: I wish for no one to be lonely. I wish that you could all be happy. As for me, I can't think of any wishes.

Philippe: If my sister and I could gaze at this starry sky together, my wish would be fulfilled.

Nightmare: Congratulations, you've glimpsed the writings of the "Nightmare" in this wondrous dream!

Keigan: I wish for this world to have more justice and rationality. That should be enough.

Alva: May more forsake the folly of human nature and choose to approach the truth.

Ithaqua: Mother, if possible, I wish to at least dream of those moments in the woods and snow at night.

Sangria: Burn once more, for I still seek to prove my worth.

Fool's Gold: I've already dug my way out of fate's mine. Haven't I?

Ivy: (The paper is scribbled with 2 little girls holding a wishing star lantern together.)

Part 2 - Thoughts

In general, all of them are pretty good and I definitely think helps paint a better picture of each character, who they are deep down, and what their priority/goal is.

Quite a few few of them though are fairly sad, including (to me) Freddy, Naib, Helena, Kevin, Murro, Ganji, Charles, Violetta, Joseph, Burke, Robbie, Philip, Ithaqua, Fool's Gold, and Ivy. I have to say, the ones that made me feel the worst were Kevin and Burke (especially the latter. Can you not make me feel like I wanna cry?).

Freddy's I quite like as I think it tells a lot about him. He admits he's not perfect, he admits even things he did weren't right, but for good or ill he still loves Martha Remington. To me, it's that admission of his mistakes I like the most.

Naib and Ganji both simply wishing to be home, with their families, but because they can't they just wish that their loved ones are happy and sufficiently taken care of. Despite how they may be depicted in their games, they both have a lot of sorrow in their heart and have been through quite the ordeals, all while being far from home and any chance to return is slim or difficult to acquire. Everything they do matters little compared to their longing to return home and move past all this.

Helena's wish I to see the world one day, for obvious reasons, is quite sad considering how she lost her eyesight when she was young. As a result, she can only imagine and dream of seeing the sky. The fact there's little chance she'll regain her sight somehow (unless something happens in the future) is what makes this line hurt the most.

Murro's wish is only for someone to remember him, which honestly is quite the implication of how he feels about himself and how he thinks others' feel about him. He's been through so much, losing his parents, then his ill treatment and abuse while he was kept by Bernard, to the point he simply wanted to get away from people and just be with his partner. It's that feeling he's given up hope, and the idea that this is all he thinks he's capable of hoping for... It's like he already thinks he has no future and nothing much to look forward to.

Wishes of people like Charles, Robbie, Joseph, Philip, Ithaqua, and Ivy are focused on the loss of those close to them, some of which are consumed by the guilt at their role in that loss or inability to prevent their death. Joseph especially has devoted the rest of his life to attempting to revive Claude, and has been incapable of ever having a single moment where he isn't thinking about his twin. It makes me think about what Michiko said regarding the bittersweetness of love, and how time marches on whether or not those we love are left behind. The important question being whether a person is capable of moving forward or will be stuck looking back, which is the whole theme with Orpheus.

Violetta's wish hurts me due to me reading into her line and feeling like she's referring to herself. And the idea that she's wishing there was someone out there who will love her, as her being abandoned by her parents, taken by Max who treated her like an object to attract attention to his freak show and earn him money, but once she no longer did, he disposed of her, leaving Violetta feeling unwanted. Despite what she's been through, she is still a kind and positive person, but even she has moments where she can't help but let slip hints about her true feelings.

Kevin of course has been and still is a very sad boy. He, like Joseph, has his thoughts forever stuck on the loved ones he lost. He is incapable of moving past Angelina's death, further compounded by his guilt regarding Angelina's father and the tribe. He is trapped by his guilt. It's the fact that Kevin refuses to forgive himself, blaming himself for everything that has happened, is why Kevin's wish hurts me so much.

Burke... I don't even know what to say. This was the 1 that I think hurt the most for a bunch of reasons that I don't quite know how to put to words. Netease, please stop trying to make me cry.

As for other wishes that caught my attention:

Mike's simple wish to bring joy to people and help them forget their troubles was curious, as I think it really helps give a better idea about him, considering he's someone I sometimes find tricky to figure out. His deductions depict him as pretty mischievious, especially with things like using rocks or nitrogen in his tricks. But then we get to the tragedy, and all we don't really get any more ... good descriptions from Mike himself as to how he is internally. Except for hints based on how he went to the morgue to confirm who was dead and who was missing. And then with his suspicion of (and disgust for) Margaretha, as well as Joker. His last deduction and backstory really emphasize that his singular goal is essentially revenge. Yet we learn in through the letters that he was unable to do so even when he's given the chance. This is why I at least personally appreciate this little detail about his interest in people's happiness and desire to fix all their problems. It helps put everything else in better perspective.

Vera's was mainly due to how she says it was "all worth it". This seems to confirm how she feels about her actions, despite the sorrow she describes in her 1st letter due to her own actions, and despite the reality of what she did. She continues to reason with herself that, despite the cost, it all worked out in the end. It could show just how broken she's become due to how she grew up due to her father and everyone looking down on her and treating her the way they did. It could show just how hard her heart has become as a result. But it's also possible to read this line as trying to convince herself to not regret. To not dwell on what she's done. To try to tell herself that it's ok, it's ok, it's ok. If this is true, whether or not she actually fully believes this attempt to reason with herself is a separate question.

Margaretha's further confirms the type of person she's in and the life she's interested in. She's still interested in luxury, she's still a bit vain, just like her personality info in-game states. However, what I was focused on was how she talks about having a stage "solely for me". This to me reads as she wants to be able to move forward and survive on her own without having to rely on others, like she did previously with Sergei, or how she's "exploiting" Joker. Which I think is a good development on her part, as I think it shows growth. It's something that may take time, but she's expressing determination to achieve this goal.

Martha was primarily of interest to me as, similar to Violetta, I read it as she was essentially referring to herself. It's a lament over the fact she has no place she sees as "home", and she doesn't even know who she is anymore. She's taken on too many identities, and gone through so much that she isn't sure who is the real her or if even if she does remember if it'll actually feel right to her anymore. She's lost and doesn't know how to find her way back on to the path. Her wish is a warning to others the way I see it, which is imporant considering what we learn happened with her in her game.

Sangria's I find curious as I never really thought about her like that, the idea that she wants to "prove [her] worth". It can make sense considering her backstory and deductions emphasize how badly she was treated by her father and the fact she was viewed as "less than a toy", as well as make sense based on whatever happened between her and the lady to cause Sangria to later ask to "get back on stage". I feel like this wish could potentially help understand some of what happens with her in her game...

Then there's Nightmare. Which to me feels... the strangest and almost out of place of any of the wishes. I'm still not quite sure about the real meaning behind it yet but it does make me think...

On that same tangent, I'll go to Orpheus next. Similarly, his line is quite interesting and will take me some time to really digest. The fact he speaks of wanting to reduce other people's regrets and give them "more favorable conclusions" to me is strange. Some of the stories he writes don't exactly feel like he's trying to give the people it's based on better "conclusions", nor does it feel like he's doing that with the participants of each of his games. Though looking at a different place, what he seems to be doing to Kevin in his 4th letter does feel like he's trying to manipulate Kevin's memories to make him think Angelina isn't dead. The entire truth of the goal of Orpheus' experiments and actions is still something I don't think we fully grasp yet. It's possible more is happening to the participants than we know (especially with how of them, or at least their bodies, are missing, and I still wonder about Yidhra's and Joseph's involvements, considering the Dreamlands or Joseph's photo world could potentially present Orpheus an opportunity to maybe give individuals a happier story if they are trapped there, especially with the memory drugs, but I'm still unsure about so much...).

Norton's wish is such a great but simple enough summary for his character. He's not asking to be rich. He's not asking for gold despite that's what he searched for in Golden Cave. He's not asking for anything in particular. All Norton cares about is having a "better" life. Something more than being trapped in poverty, with a job that could kill him at any time, and especially over time the longer he has it. He wants to not have to worry about starving all the time, or worry if he'll have a place to shelter for the night, or worry about cruel coworkers or employers, any other necessities he needs. We've seen that he isn't asking for anything fancy. He eats simple bread, and spends what little spare money he has on books and knowledge. He just wants enough so he'll never have to worry about going back to that life again.

Which is interesting when considering Fool's Gold's wish: "I've already dug my way out of fate's mine. Haven't I?". This to me sounds like he's trying to convince himself. He's desperately hoping he's finally escaped the mine, which he describes as "fate's" mine. This referencing his "fate" as a miner due to his father also being a miner. The fact he describes it as how he "dug my way out" is a way of showing how he's done everything himself. He was the one who's fought tooth and nail to get out of his situation, who's spent all his blood, sweat, and tears to originally just work hard enough to earn what he can, and then when that didnt work find another way, and when he was trapped in Golden Cave, how he literally dug his way out (which shows how badly he wants to live). "Fate" being a "mine" also has the symbolism of Norton originally seeing his fate as somethin dark, made by someone else who forced him into it, a place with little room to move full of many dangers, surrounded by many people who either treated him badly or only cared for themselves, and the only path forward led further and further down. This was why Norton wants to escape his fate, and why he's been so desperate to do anything he can if it means a way out. He wants a brighter fate, one not trapped underground, but a fate out in the open world where the sky is the limit. Unfortunately though, as we can see from the ending of Fool's Gold's wish, Norton isn't entirely convinced he's completely escaped his fate. Which is curious and I wish I could see the reasoning behind his thoughts. Is it because he's afraid he'll be caught for what he did? Is it because he's afraid he'll have to go back to the mine if he is unable to find any other way of making a living? Is it because of whatever happened while he was trapped in the mind that he's continuously referenced but never explained, that's lead to him being so deathly afraid of the place? Or does it have something to do with his current situation with Orpheus and whatever the order was in his 2nd letter? Considering this is the 2nd time we've seen Norton trying to convince himself but failing to do so completely by the end (the 1st time being in Norton's 2nd letter where he tries to convince himself to go through with the assassination order), I wonder if it's possible these 2 things could be related. Maybe he feels like or is starting to feel like his current situation is not any better than it was before when he was still a miner, or when he was trapped in Golden Cave. Which is curious as that seems to reinforce how we can't be completely sure what Norton will do in the final game, or what the full truth of his relationship with Orpheus, Alice, and the others is. It's also interesting this line comes from Fool's Gold, who also appeared in Norton's backstory trailer, before he causes Golden Cave to collapse. He's holding his head, and seemingly fighting with himself over whether he should do it or not. Hunter Norton seems to be a way of showing Norton's internal dilemma, his war with himself, with how Hunter Norton is likely symbolized in Norton's 2nd letter, and now again here when Norton's trying to convince himself that he's escaped his fate. But unlike the 1st time in the mine when Hunter Norton managed to win out and cause the mine collapse, these other 2 times haven't ended with a certain winner, which could show how Norton's changed or how he may not be willing to do the same thing again. But maybe I'm thinking too hard.

As for Jose, I wish I could understand him better. Despite how his father treated him, despite how he only cared about fame and fortune, despite how he was only ever concerned about looking good for the Queen and everyone he deemed important, Jose still wishes his "loved ones" to stay safe essentially. Who that would be besides his family I'm not sure. We never learn about his mother, and there's really no one else that could be outside of maybe some people he was friends with, though he specifically says "loved ones". We don't know if he was friendly with those on his crew, though we know at least some were of the same type of person as Jose's father based on Jose's deduction 7, while others died either when Jose's father vanished or during deduction 4. We now know he's tied in some way to Sam Bourbon but not the specifics of that relationship (how friendly were they?). Therefore, it's most likely he's referring to his father here. I wish I knew more about Jose's feelings and relationship with his father, considering deduction 7 and 8, as well as other bits don't exactly make Joaquin out to be a good person or see his son as anything but an object. But it's possible it was because Jose's father was the only family he ever had, and he simply wished he could've stopped him from doing what Jose didn't agree with and/or helped change him for the better.

Analysis of Aziraphale's ethereal statuses

I was doing research for more analysis about S2 and I discovered quite a lot of interesting things about Aziraphale from his ethereal statuses.

1. He used to be a Cherub before the Garden of Eden.

They’re beings devoid of human feelings. => Yet he could feel worry, love, happiness (all of those just for Crowley)

They are entrusted by God and described as creatures who encircle & guard God’s throne. They’re also the keepers of celestial records and hold the knowledge of God. => He was very close to God

The Cherubim name refers to their satisfaction with the imparting of wisdom and their benevolent kinship to those next to them. => He seemed pretty proud talking about doing the “good” thing, also Crowley said he likes to call him to tell him about something clever he did

I think Aziraphale could be the GO equivalent of Jophiel as he was believed to be the archangel armed with a flaming sword who drove Adam and Eve out of Eden and guarded the gate to prevent their re-entry, just like Aziraphale, and is considered the archangel of wisdom, just like principalities.

-> He protects those who seek the truth.

-> ("Beauty of God")-a companion angel of Metatron; a prince of the Law (Torah), usually included among the 7 archangels. Leader of the cherubim and representative of the splendor of God.

I also think Aziraphale used to be a Cherub when he watched over the Garden of Eden and then became a Principality when God told him to stay on Earth to monitor Humanity as Principalities are the administrators of the Earth’s territory. Cherubs are in the 1st sphere of angels and Principalities in the 3rd, this would mean that Az was demoted.

2. Then he became a Principality

They guide leaders in charge of large collectives to ensure God’s work is done on Earth.

Closest to the human realm, who can be seen to interact with people on Earth. => As he did, and he took quite a liking to them

The Principalities approach towards an interconnectedness with the archangels and the angels ranked below them. => He worked really closely with the archangels, the most highest-ranked angels in Heaven + => He had responsibilities regarding other angels

They work with 2nd sphere angels in the hierarchy (Dominions, Virtues, and Powers). The 2nd tier angels focus on creating divine rules, orders, and laws; they pass their wisdom down to the Principalities. => How could he disobey when he was supposed to apply the rules and worked alongside the literal judges of Heaven.

Their energy is the antidote to brutal, authoritarian leaderships, for they guide people to exercise their power in a way that is balanced, open-minded, and fair for all. => Ironic isn’t it, do I really need to elaborate ?

They use their healing energy to cut through anxiety, fear, and worry. => Ironically Az is very anxious throughout S1 / when he’s near angels

They can send people ecstasy and joy. Their duty is to inspire brilliance, ingenuity, and creativity in those who seek to make progressive change / They are tied to the world of ideas. => Crowley ? The only demon with imagination ? Suspicious.

They are given more freedom than subsequent types of angels. => Why things were pretty ok for him on Earth

The Apostle Paul indicates both a good and an evil order. => Coincidence ? I think not.

3. Then he became the Supreme Archangel

Archangels are the guardians of nations and countries, and are concerned with politics, military activities. => For the upcoming 2nd Coming

Each Archangel has a particular role and are acknowledged as extensions of God himself (=> closeness with God again) :

-> The Warrior – Archangel Michael

-> The Messenger – Archangel Gabriel : sets the agenda

-> Angel of Beauty – Archangel Jophiel : leader

The Supreme Archangel

-> In Christianity, the Supreme Archangel is known as Michael, while in Judaism they are known as Metatron. => Something going on with Metatron ? Also that could explain why Michael wanted to take the lead in S2

Michael is the Archangel of mercy / His name means ‘who is like God.’ => The irony. But if Az takes their place then he would be the “Archangel of mercy” in a way, which fits him well.

According to most Christians, he is the leader of the other angels, and of the heavenly armies (he lead the battalion of Angels during the Great War.) => The 2nd Coming again

He is usually depicted as a warrior angel, armed with a sword or a flaming sword. => The flaming sword

Michael is responsible for protecting the world and its inhabitants from harm. => Pretty much what Az does and wants

He is also believed to be the one who will announce the end of the world. => Prediction for S3 ?

The one who will “stand up” against the Devil and his angels and lead the heavenly host in times of battle. He is also the one who will battle against the Antichrist and his forces during the end times. => The duality, he’ll have to make a choice again, hopefully this time he’ll make the right one. Also ironically he fought alongside the Antichrist and his forces in S1

Highest ranking angel in the hierarchy of Heaven and the most powerful of all angels. => He sure is very powerful (with Crowley at least)

Closest to God => The closeness with God le retour

“Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Sing to the Lord; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens! Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary. O nations of the world, recognize the Lord; recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong. Give to the Lord the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his courts. Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor. Let all the earth tremble before him. Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!” The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples fairly. Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he is coming! He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with his truth.” Psalms‬ ‭96‬:‭1‬-‭13‬

Wearing the floppy ears -- A 1910 antecedent to the Meereenese Knot (repost from 2018 r/asoiaf)

Daenerys Targaryen in Meereen is not the first ruler of a fantasy realm to chafe under the burden of ruling rabbits while wearing unsuitable headgear.

You may know that that the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz was an adaptation of Book 1 of a 14-book series by author, playwright, and filmmaker L. Frank Baum. The series was extremely popular and their author became famous from writing them.

Book 6 of the Oz series, The Emerald City of Oz (1910), is a great read. It follows two converging point-of-view narratives with Dorothy on a cutesie-pie walkabout through the realm while the Nome King, Roquat the Red, prepares a subterranean invasion of Oz. The invasion story is wholesome fun, but I want to focus on one of Dorothy's encounters, during her visit to Bunnybury.

Here's her description of the place:

Dorothy now found herself in a city so strange and beautiful that she gave a gasp of surprise. The high marble wall extended all around the place and shut out all the rest of the world. And here were marble houses of curious forms, most of them resembling overturned kettles but with delicate slender spires and minarets running far up into the sky....

But the rabbit people were, after all, the most amazing things Dorothy saw. The streets were full of them, and their costumes were so splendid.... Silks and satins of delicate hues seemed always used for material, and nearly every costume sparkled with exquisite gems.

Yes, Dorothy goes to the land of the rabbits, and lunches with their King (Chapter 20).

And check out what he says to her:

"I've often thought," said Dorothy, who was busily eating, "that it would be fun to be a rabbit."

"It is fun—when you're the genuine article," agreed his Majesty. "But look at me now! I live in a marble palace instead of a hole in the ground. I have all I want to eat, without the joy of hunting for it. Every day I must dress in fine clothes and wear that horrible crown till it makes my head ache. Rabbits come to me with all sorts of troubles, when my own troubles are the only ones I care about. When I walk out I can't hop and run; I must strut on my rear legs and wear an ermine robe! And the soldiers salute me and the band plays and the other rabbits laugh and clap their paws and cry out: 'Hail to the King!' Now let me ask you, as a friend and a young lady of good judgment: isn't all this pomp and foolishness enough to make a decent rabbit miserable?"

So many elements of Dany's desolation in Meereen are laid out right here. The complaint about uncomfortable showy clothes and of feeling confined in splendor befitting a ruler. Also the fatigue with ceremony and attention, all "pomp and foolishness" making the monarch "miserable".

By the way, after luncheon, the king presents an acrobatic dance show for his guest (Chapter 21):

"It is our royal duty, as well as our royal pleasure," he said, "to provide fitting entertainment for our distinguished guest. We will now present the Royal Band of Whiskered Friskers."

As he spoke the musicians, who had arranged themselves in a corner, struck up a dance melody while into the room pranced the Whiskered Friskers. They were eight pretty rabbits dressed only in gauzy purple skirts fastened around their waists with diamond bands. Their whiskers were colored a rich purple, but otherwise they were pure white.

After bowing before the King and Dorothy the Friskers began their pranks, and these were so comical that Dorothy laughed with real enjoyment. They not only danced together, whirling and gyrating around the room, but they leaped over one another, stood upon their heads and hopped and skipped here and there so nimbly that it was hard work to keep track of them. Finally they all made double somersaults and turned handsprings out of the room.

Compare their frisking with this moment from ADWD Dany III:

As the drums reached a crescendo, three of the girls leapt above the flames, spinning in the air. The male dancers caught them about the waists and slid them down...

On second thought, best not. L. Frank Baum was definitely not thinking of topless dancing bunny pornography here and neither should you.

Look, I'm not saying that GRRM was explicitly or intentionally referencing this scene or that we can know for sure he ever read it, without Word of GRRM one way or the other. But I do think the books can be read as a delicious gumbo of all kinds of cultural influences beyond his deconstruction of Tolkien-inspired epic fantasy like Tad Williams's Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn tetralogy. Reminders of ASOIAF scena are everywhere; some of my personal favorites are: The Godfather, The Court Jester, I, Claudius (short version), I, Claudius (long version), and Gone With the Wind.

GRRM has an uncanny ability to remix motifs from across multiple genres, formats, and cultural eras into something that feels both familiar and startlingly original, something with the capacity to constantly reinvent itself anew. It's an ability that he happens to share with the original Wizard himself, an entertainer and storyteller writing over 100 years ago about strangers in strange lands and the magic and wonder that they find there.

What do you think? Have you noticed other elements borrowed or referenced from the original American fantasy realm, the marvelous Land of Oz? Or other cultural references that seem underappreciated?

The Hielavist Creation Story

In the beginning, there was nothing. Neither was there light nor dark, no good or evil, neither sight nor sound, neither life nor death. Then, all at once, there was a mighty burst of light, creating a great heat, and from this commotion came all of the elements, the stardust, and the conditions required for a universe to form. In many ways, this explosion is the Creator, the beginning of all things, the birthplace of all that ever was and all that ever will be.

In the midst of all of this hell-hot stardust, along with newborn stars and potential galaxies, She began to take shape - the first of the gods, Unariel. She is all that ever was, all that is, all that ever will come to be, the universe incarnate. Her golden skin shimmered like stars, her red hair more beautiful than the sun.

She began to wander, all alone in the great world she had inherited. For some time, she was satisfied with her solitude, but after millions of years, she became lonely. And it was then that she decided that she would create something like her. And so, with no partner to speak of, she became pregnant, and she gestated her children at the same rate as her siblings, the stars. She gave birth to three babies.

Their very skin glittered and burned as the stars. Their hearts could be seen beneath it, ticking in time with a beat that they were the first to know. As they grew, these fantastical features became hidden under a uniform layer of skin, like that of people, though they were not people themselves.

It was there, in the vast arms of their mother, Unariel, that the children of the stars awoke. She sat down, embracing her children, full of joy. “Welcome, my children, to your home.” As she held them, she looked them over and gave them names. “I will name you Tariel, my oldest son, and you, my middle child, will be Naluel, and you, youngest boy, will be called Anadel.”

Once the children had been named, she stood, with all three in her arms, and began to show them all of the wonderful things that came to be along with them. She taught them all about the stars, and galaxies, and the warmth and coolness of space, its great splendor and yet vast emptiness. She taught them about the nature of black holes, gravitational forces, the births and deaths of stars and galaxies. As the gods grew, their mother instructed them on the ways of creating, just as she was able to. She showed them the necessary materials and gasses to form planets and solar systems and wonderful formations of their own, they noted the orbits of all matter of heavenly bodies and how they could be effected by outside forces.

As the gods grew and studied with their mother, one thing became increasingly clear to them: the four of them were quite alone in this vast universe. True, it was a beautiful place to call home, full of wondrous things to observe, but none of their - or their mother’s - creations were anything like them. They could not speak, they could not move of their own accord, they could not feel, think, or dream. The four of them were the only things like them in this great expanse. They had no one but each other for company. They wanted more. They wanted new beings to commune with, to listen to, to observe and study. As it was, they would never have that. If they desired it, they would have to make it so.

The three gods thought about it for quite some time before bringing the matter to their mother. She listened to them and their desires carefully.

“Are you not children of creation?” She asked after they fell quiet. “Were you not created out of the dust of exploding stars and the fires of a thousand suns? Don't you know what kind of power lies within you?”

She raised her hand and pointed off into the distance. “There is an endless expanse for the three of you to do anything you wish. There is no limit to your abilities, nor your domains, and you have all the time in the universe to find out what you will do with it. So go, and find your way.”

The three young gods were inspired by their mother’s confidence in them, and so they set off to find a place to create something of their very own. They searched for a perfect place in which to begin their experiments. There’s no way to say how long they wandered for, or how far, but eventually they found the perfect place.

The first thing the gods created was the sun. Anadel summoned dust and gas from the depths of space and gathered it together in his hands. He pressed it between his hands and raised it to his mouth to breathe fire into it, creating the star which provides earth with light and warmth. Anadel then placed it in the sky.

Once the sun had been created, Tariel did the same as his brother. He gathered up the dust of galaxies, stones orbiting about them, and the very fire of Anadel’s sun, and pressed it all together in his hands, rolling it to create a ball. The friction of it all caused the resulting sphere to be hot and liquid. Tariel breathed onto it to cool the surface so that they could continue to work it. Once it was cool and placed into the sky, Tariel and Anadel prepared to create the first plants, but their sibling was quick to stop them.

“Wait! Are we going to leave the earth this way? So flat and... Boring?” They asked.

“It would be easier for the creatures to survive if we did,” Tariel reasoned. Anadel nodded in agreement.

"It would be easier for them to move and interact," Anadel added.

“Then I think it would have been such a waste of time - all of those years we spent studying with our own mother and what she made - if we did not incorporate that into our own creations, wouldn’t it? The earth would be so beautiful if we dared to change it.” As they spoke, they ran a finger over the planet, molding the earth to create hills, mountains, and valleys.

“Imagine all of the beautiful things they would have to behold. Whatever comes to live on this planet should feel the same wonder and awe that we have when our mother brought us to life. It is only fair.”

With that, the two other gods had been convinced. They allowed their sibling to add whatever they wished to the planet they held. It gathered dust together and gently pressed it with their fingertip, creating mesas, and it cut out earth with its fingernail to create valleys and rivers. They pressed down on the earth with their palms and raised some of the ground higher, before covering the lower areas with water, creating the land and the sea. As they did so, water that had been placed to create the oceans began to slosh about, creating great waves that in turn created seafoam. From this seafoam arose the first god of the earth - the god of the sea. The god, little more than an infant, floated about on the stormy water of the sea until Tariel picked him up.

He looked at the strange creature, blue in complexion with white hair, and he decided that he would care for him. “I will call him Alluel,” he said.

After the infant god was named, Tariel fashioned a sash out of the debris orbiting them and tied the baby in it, so that he was flush against his back and could be held as they continued to work.

Neluel looked at the sun at the center of their solar system and then back to the earth. It was stagnant, and it did not move. “Surely it’s unwise to make one side of the earth cold and dark while the other enjoys the endless warmth of the sun…” They said as they looked between their brothers. And so the deity took the earth in their hands and gently turned it, and it spun endlessly.

Then, Neluel took stones from around them and pressed them into a small sphere, about ¼ the size of the earth. They then placed it close to the planet and gave it a gentle nudge. The moon began to orbit the earth. As Naluel admired their creation, Anadel nudged them and gestured to the earth.

On one side, the side that faced the sun, a large hill began to rise up out of the earth, and the same thing happened on the opposite side, which was shrouded in darkness. The hills grew larger and larger, until two creatures tumbled out of them. At first they were small, but they grew and grew until they were the same size as the infant nestled into Tariel’s back. More new godlings.

One, which had been born facing the sun, was a girl, and the other, the one facing the moon, was a boy. “The deities of day and night,” Naluel said softly. Naluel picked up the little boy, and Anadel picked up the little girl. Just as their brother had, the two gods tied the babies to their backs and continued their work. They named the goddess of the day Esrial, and the god of the night Iluniel, and they gave them the sun and moon respectively as gifts.

They then began to plan out what sorts of creatures would inhabit the earth, and this took a very long time and lots of experimentation. They found that without a shield from the sun, no plant life could survive, and so they fashioned one out of the gasses of space, which created yet another godling, which they named Zyinel, the goddess of the sky and storms. Unlinke the other gods, however, she formed from the clouds and fell from the sky fully formed. Right away she knew her purpose, and she began orchestrating the winds and rains to invigorate the earth so that it could sustain the animals and plants the first three wished to create.

When the conditions for life were finally met, the gods began setting about their task of populating the world. This took millions of years, and through all of it, the three deities crafted countless plants to inhabit the earth, varying greatly by color, shape, size, and by region. Some of their creations could only survive in depths of a rainforest, or in the crevices of mountains, others needed ample warmth and sun. Each was purposely and thoughtfully crafted and placed where it was meant to be.

Some of these creations were brought to life by the gods forming them from clay, others were made by weaving other plants together to form trees that towered over all else. Some were drawn in the dirt and brought up from it. Some of them were created by drawing water from the sea or rain and solidifying them into different forms. Many of those were placed back into the water, a homage to the sea god from whom had been taken from in order to create it.

As the gods worked, the three babes atop their backs grew, first from babies to toddlers, which followed after their caretakers, then to young children, then to teenagers, and then to fully-fledged gods in their own right. When that day came, Alluel bid farewell to his fellow gods and left for the sea, to create a home for himself. Iluniel followed after him, having grown close to the god of the sea, but Esrial did not accompany them, and sought a place for herself elsewhere.

Once the young gods had gone their own way, the original three began molding the animals of the earth. Much like the plants, the gods created them by weaving plants together, by tracing their forms in dust, by carving them from trees, and forming them from water and air. Once they had created animals to fill every corner of the earth, including the sea and the sky, another two deities emerged. One came forth when a stag pricked itself on a thorn and bled. The blood coagulated and formed a stocky, fully adult god, Merdiel. The other, Tarunel, also a large, fully grown god, came from reeds, which grew far past their natural growth and bore the god.

Knowing that the earth was vast, with many different forms of life that would need to be kept, Tariel tasked the two gods with looking after the flora and fauna he and his siblings had made. The gods took to their work together, allowing Tariel, Anadel, and Naluel to create their final being.

People.

Almost immediately, the gods began to bicker about what they should bring the humans from.

“Clay,” Anadel said definitively. “They ought to be made of clay, the earth itself, so they will be rigid and able to weather even the toughest storms..”

“No, they should formed from water,” Naluel shot back. “Fluid, flexible, able to bend and adapt to whatever they need."

While the other two argued about what the first humans should be made from, Tariel silently searched around. He knew exactly what to make the humans from. He only needed the appropriate tools. So he picked up a suitable stone and began to chip at it to form a knife blade. When he was satisfied with its sharpness, he began to search for a log. He picked a sturdy but flexible sort and began to carve. When he completed the figure, he set his knife down, placed his hands over the heart of the figure. He pressed down on it and imbued it with some of his divine energy, and as with all of the other living beings of the earth, it came to life. And so they had the first human, a woman.

Up until then, Naluel and Anadel had been consumed in their bickering, so much so that they hadn’t noticed their brother creating a human right under their noses. When the two gods realized what their brother had done without them noticing, they flocked to the new creation and inspected her up and down.

“She looks like us!” They said in awe.

And without so much as a moment’s hesitation, the two siblings began crafting blades of their own and began carving humans, too. Each one looked quite different from the last, as the three made them in every height, width, and color they could imagine, with skin ranging from pale white to the darkest of browns; their hair ranged in such colors too, but also in texture and thickness. Some were thin, some were fat, some fell in between. Some were male, some were female, and some fell in between or outside. Some were tall, some were short, some were strong, and some were weak, but every single one was beloved by the gods who created them, and they made more and more humans until they lived all over the world.

“Things!

Burn them, burn them! Make a beautiful fire !

More room in your heart for love,

For the trees! For the birds who own nothing-

The reason they can fly.”

Mary Oliver, from Storage

“and have you ever felt for anything such wild love-

Do you think there is anywhere, in any language,

a word billowing enough

for the pleasure

that fills you,

as the sun

reaches out,

as it warms your

as you stand there,

empty-handed-”

Mary Oliver, from The Sun

“The dream of my life

Is to lie down by a slow river

And stare at the light in the trees

To learn something by being nothing

A little while..”

Mary Oliver, from Entering The Kingdom

“But also I say this: that light is an invitation to happiness, and that happiness, when it’s done right, is a kind of holiness, palpable and redemptive.”

Mary Oliver, from Blue Iris

“You don’t want to hear the story of my life, and anyway I don’t want to tell it, I want to listen to the enormous waterfalls of the sun. And anyway it’s the same old story- a few people just trying, one way or another, to survive. Mostly I want to be kind”

Mary Oliver, from Dogfish

“There are moments that cry out be fulfilled. Like, telling someone you love them. Or giving your money away. All of it.

Your heart is beating, isn’t it?

You’re not in chains, are you?

There is nothing more pathetic than caution when headlong might save a life, even, possibly, your own.”

Mary Oliver, from Moments

“Maybe the desire to make something beautiful is the piece of god that is inside each of us.”

Mary Oliver, from Franz Marc’s Blue Horses

“If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.”

Mary Oliver, from Don't Hesitate

“There isn’t anything in this world but mad love. Not in this world. No tame love, calm love, mild love, no so-so love. And, of course, no reasonable love. Also there are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But, who wants easier? We dream of love, we moon about, thinking of Romeo and Juliet, or Tristan, or the lost queen rushing away over the Irish sea, all doom and splendor. Today on the beach, an old man was sitting in the sun. I called out to him, and he turned. His face was like an empty pot. I remember his tall, pale wife; she died long ago. I remember his daughter-in-law. When she died, hard, and too young, he wept in the streets. He picked up pieces of wood, and stones, and anything else that was there, and threw them at the sea. Oh, how he loved his wife. Oh, how he loved young Barbara. I stood in front of him, not expecting any answer yet not wanting to pass without some greeting. But his face had gone back to whatever he was dreaming. Something touched me, lightly, like a knife-blade. I felt I was bleeding, though just a little, a hint. Inside I flared hot, then cold. I thought of you. Whom I love, madly.”

Mary Oliver, March

“You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting over and over announcing your place in the family of things.”

Mary Oliver, Wild Geese

You are very wise for your age, fledgling.

To answer your question, as much as vampirism is a curse, it is also a gift. It is a curse for what you lose: the taste of good food, centuries of sunlight, your philosophies, growing and aging, your mortal friends and family. And as you've mentioned, languages, cultures, your entire understanding of the world and its people. Vampirism can be torture and at times, desperately lonely. It is important that fledglings understand this pain at an early age.

But there is also great joy in vampirism. You enjoy the taste of good blood, the beauty of moonlit nights in all their enhanced splendor, new philosophies, growing into a powerful being, new vampiric friends and family (if you know how to keep them). Many vampires act as though we are cursed to live in stasis, but all we do is adapt and change. At least, the long-lived ones do. There are so many things to see and do and look forward to in this world. New curiosities and innovations. Countries rising and falling. Cultures and languages morphing and changing into new, beautiful things for us to marvel at and understand once more. And TECHNOLOGIES!!! If I had lived a mortal life, I would have never discovered my favorite website, tumblr.com! My grandfledglings would have never introduced me, nor would they ever BE my grandfledglings. Think of all of the things we miss by throwing away our immortality!

It hurts your maker deeply to see such a gift wasted. I have lost my own fledgling to the sun, and truthfully, I never recovered from the loss. I don't hate my son for his choice, but I blame myself for his weakness. I never disciplined him as I did my other fledglings, and that was a weakness in me that I paid dearly for.

There are times, especially as of late, where I've thought of dying, or at least a sleep of ages, but then I remember this:

The eternity of death and the eternity of living are both terrifying things. But living is never final (as all vampires, even ancient ones, can die), nor is it nothingness. It is ENDLESS POSSIBILITY!!!

But whether your "millennial" status refers to your mortal birth or your vampiric one, you are too young to worry about these things. You are right that I am jealous! I remember when this was all so new and exciting for me! Mind your maker, and listen to them, but go out and enjoy your fledglinghood!!!

"Never, EVER raise your hand to a fledgling" What a bunch of WOKE nonsense! You know, when I was a fledgling, my maker beat my ass AT LEAST three times a week because I would mouth off and get into some bullshit. Built character. Kept me out of trouble. Taught me to respect my elders AND the Great Laws.

Fledglings these days don't respect either of those things. They're insolent. Reckless. No sense of decorum. Just take that Molloy kid. Running around out in the mortal world spilling our secrets and stirring up shit. You know he doesn't even have a maker because he goes around asking every vampire who can hear him, "Have you seen my maker? Have YOU seen my maker?" I'd feel bad for him if he'd just learned to keep his mouth shut.

If he HAD a respectable maker who wasn't a lousy deadbeat, the little shit'd get his ass beat so hard he'd be in coffin for a MONTH, Satan bless. And ALL of this bullshit could've been avoided. But now I'm gonna get CANCELED for saying it!

July 2019 Story

I deleted the original post, so here's a redo! I think I wrotw this when I was 16 or 17?

Once upon a time there was a king and a queen, who said everyday, "Oh, if only we had a child!" but they never received one.

Then it happened one day while the queen was sitting in her bath, that a frog crept out of the water onto the ground and said to her, "Your wish shall be fulfilled, and before a year passes you will bring a daughter into the world."

What the frog said did happen, and the queen gave birth to a girl who was so beautiful that the king could not contain himself for joy, and he ordered a great celebration. He invited not only his relatives, friends, and acquaintances, but also the wise women so that they would be kindly disposed toward the child. There were thirteen of them in his kingdom, but because he had only twelve golden plates from which they were to eat, one of them had to remain at home.

The feast was celebrated with great splendor, and at its conclusion the wise women presented the child with their magic gifts.

The eleventh one had just pronounced her blessing when the thirteenth one, Invidia, suddenly walked in. She wanted to avenge herself for not having been invited, and so cast a freezing spell to keep the inhabitants of the hall still. Invidia stalked over to the cradle, all eyes of the hall on her. As she crouched at the foot of the cradle to peer at the baby, she snickered maliciously and declared to the , "In the princess's sixteenth year she shall prick herself with a spindle and fall over dead." And without saying another word she disappeared.

Everyone was horrified, and the twelfth wise woman, who had not yet offered her wish, stepped forward. She was unable to undo the wicked wish, and only had the time to soften it, for the magic was fading away, and so she said, "It shall not be her death. Rosaline, as well as the kingdom, will only fall into a hundred-year deep sleep. And then, when an act of true” - here she mumbled a bit, trying to find the right term to the spell but then settling for the first word to pop into her head- “goofiness is done, after a hundred years of slumber, the spell will be broken.” The other wise women glared at her, thinking she had deliberately made fun of the tried and true traditional spell, but she just shrugged. “It was the best I could do, ladies! You know how I panic under time constraints! It had to be done now!”

The king, wanting to rescue his dear child, issued an order that all spindles in the entire kingdom should be put under lock and key, accessible only to certified spinsters, and under no circumstances should they be shown to the princess.

After that, Rosaline simply grew up. It soon became apparent that the wise women's gifts were all fulfilled on the girl, for she was so beautiful, well behaved, friendly, and intelligent that everyone who saw her had to love her.

Now it happened that on the day when Rosaline turned sixteen years of age the king and the queen were in the gardens, about to send a guard to watch Rosaline, and the girl was all alone in the castle. She walked around from one place to the next, looking into rooms and chambers as her heart desired. Finally she came to an old tower. She climbed up the narrow, winding stairs and arrived at a small door. In the lock there was a rusty key, and when she turned it the door sprang open. There in a small room sat an old woman with a spindle busily spinning her flax.

"Good day, ma’am," said Rosaline. "What are you doing there?"

"I am spinning," said the old woman, nodding her head.

"What is that thing that is so merrily bouncing about?" asked the girl, taking hold of the spindle, for she too wanted to spin.

Rosaline had no sooner touched the spindle when the magic curse was fulfilled, and she pricked herself in the finger. The old woman, who was actually Invidia in disguise, cackled and disappeared from the castle. The instant that she felt the prick she fell onto a bed that was already there, and she lay there in a deep sleep. And this sleep spread throughout the entire castle. The king and queen, who had just come inside, walked into the hall and began falling asleep, and all of their attendants as well. The horses fell asleep in their stalls, the dogs in the courtyard, the pigeons on the roof, the flies on the walls, and even the fire on the hearth flickered, stopped moving, and fell asleep. The roast stopped sizzling. The cook, who was about to pull the kitchen boy's hair for having done something wrong, let him loose and fell asleep. The wind stopped blowing, and outside the castle not a leaf was stirring in the trees.

Round about the whole country a thorn hedge began to grow, and every year it became higher, until it finally surrounded and covered the entire place. Finally nothing at all could be seen of it, not even the tops of the trees.

A legend, based on what information about the curse had escaped the land, circulated throughout the land about the beautiful Sleeping Beauty, Rosaline’s true name forgotten. Legends also told that from time to time princes came, wanting to force their way through the hedge into the castle. However, they did not succeed, for the thorns held firmly together, as though they had hands, and the young men became stuck in them, could not free themselves, and died miserably.

Many long, long years later, once again a prince named Stefan came to the neighboring country. He heard an old man talking about the thorn hedge. It was said that there was a castle behind it, in which a beautiful princess called Sleeping Beauty had been asleep for a hundred years, and with her the king and the queen and all the people were sleeping. He also knew from his grandfather that many princes had come and tried to get through the thorn hedge, but they had become stuck in it and died a sorrowful death.

Then the young man said, "I am not afraid. I will go there and see the beautiful sleeper." However much the good old man tried to dissuade him, Stefan would not listen to his words, for his curiosity was too great.

The hundred years had just passed, and the day had come when the Sleeping Beauty was able to awaken. When the prince approached the thorn hedge, it was nothing but large, beautiful flowers that separated by themselves, allowing Stefan to pass through without harm, but then behind him closed back into a hedge.

The whole countryside was stationary. He eventually made it to the castle, after a couple days travel in the silent still. In the courtyard he saw the horses and spotted hunting dogs lying there asleep, and on the roof the pigeons, perched with their little heads tucked under their wings. When Stefan walked inside the flies were asleep on the wall, the cook in the kitchen was still holding up his hand as if he wanted to grab the boy, and the maid was sitting in front of the black chicken that was supposed to be plucked. He walked further and saw all the attendants lying asleep in the hall, and above them near the throne the king and the queen were lying. He walked on still further, and it was so quiet that he could hear his own heartbeat. Finally he came to the tower and opened the door to the little room where Rosaline was sleeping.

There she lay, a girl so beautiful that he could not take his eyes off her. Stefan suddenly got a strange compulsion, and bent over and gave her a boop on the nose. As soon as he touched her, Rosaline opened her eyes, awoke, and looked at him, grinning. After all, only an act of true goofiness could break the spell.

They went downstairs together, and the king awoke, and the queen, and all the royal attendants, and they looked at one another in amazement. The horses in the courtyard stood up and shook themselves. The hunting dogs jumped and wagged their tails. The pigeons on the roof pulled their little heads out from beneath their wings, looked around, and flew into the field. The flies on the walls crept about again. The fire in the kitchen rose up, broke into flames, and cooked the food. The roast began to sizzle once again. The cook boxed the boy's ears, causing him to cry, and the maid finished plucking the chicken.

Eventually, Stefan got engaged and the prince's marriage to Rosaline was celebrated with great splendor, and they lived happily until they died.

THE END

Sleeping Beauty Explanation

So, as you might of deduced, I changed the kissing breaking the spell to booping her nose. Again, I just didn’t like the whole kissing without her knowledge thing. In the original story, there is 13 wise women, a nice term for witch, so I kept that. I don’t think the 13th wise woman was originally evil, and that she only felt slighted, however her evilness fit so I kept it.

At first, I was going to draw all the wise women, but I realized I didn’t know how to stage it. So instead, I drew what Invidia (a name that means Goddess of Justice) would’ve looked like from Rosaline’s eyes (Rosaline = English variant of Rosalinda, or Lovely Rose), and I made her really creepy. It was actually inspired by a really creepy mask I drew in English class (we were reading a peaceful and beautiful piece at the time, so I don’t know where it came from). It was also partially inspired by Dr. Facilier (the villain from ‘The Princess and the Frog’) in the transformation scene and the Catrinas (skulls) of the Day of the Dead. If you’d rather see more

of the Disney approach to the character, they actually made a whole movie about her, called Maleficent. It’s pretty cool.

The sign with the dead body picture isn’t exactly what I would’ve imagined for the Princes in the thorns, but I didn’t know how to draw them and I think this looks cool. For the first reason, I always imagined their bodies sort of woven into the roses, not even pierced, but just stuck and perfect, with no decay. To my second reason, I think it shows the strength and danger of the vines, being able to strike out and kill the (honestly kind of stupid) princes who didn’t wait until the hundred years were over, and still be able to hold up the body despite having at least 30 pounds of weight hanging off that branch.

Slight side note: In the original Grimm story, the action is pretty mild and there are no real consequences for anyone. The lone cruelty of the roses, killing those princes, may have been a reference to the older tale of ‘Sun, Moon, and Talia’ from the Italian story collection ‘Pentamerone’. It is a lot darker and I think the Grimm Brothers, despite happily sentencing the ‘evil’ Jews to horrid fates in many of their tales, felt squicky enough about the original tale that they sanitized it.

The final picture, of Rosaline getting booped on the nose, is drawn like that partially because I wanted to practice a side-profile portrait of someone sleeping. I think it also serves to give a peaceful conclusion to the other pictures, as it is pretty pacific in comparison.

The prince isn’t really shown here because I feel like he was barely needed for the happily ever after - it could’ve been literally anyone who managed to break the curse after the initial 100 years. So, he’s barely there.

This is a short story, but I think I showed the appropriate amount of pictures for it. Besides, I was kind of itching to get started on The Little Mermaid’s drawings.

Fun things to do in Dubai on the UAE National Day long weekend

The UAE National Day is a reason for celebration. December 2, which is a celebration of the historical events that happened on the day the seven emirates unified under one name and one identity for a better future, is one of the most important days on the calendar for the country. Locals and visitors alike are delighted by the special day and anxious to celebrate the nation. Over the lengthy National Day weekend, you can fully engage in the national festivities and embrace the spirit of unity. On your emirates visa for Egypt citizens enjoy the fun things to do in Dubai.

Watch eye-catching fireworks

Fireworks are necessary since a celebration wouldn't be complete without some light and color without them. In addition to the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Festival City, JBR, La Mer, and Al Seef all have fireworks displays over the UAE National Day Long Weekend. The Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium, Madinat Zayed, Abu Dhabi Corniche, and Zayed Heritage Festival are popular destinations for city dwellers.

The Barasti World Cup Fan Zone offers live soccer coverage.

Due to the World Cup in Qatar, the UAE National Day weekend will be jam-packed with soccer matches. Why not watch the Round of 16 games in the Barasti World Cup Fanzone, which is free for the public to enter? Check out the live BBQ stations, food counters, and the many discounts that will be offered for beer and other alcoholic beverages when you get hungry at halftime. So let's get going for emirates visa for Egypt passport holders.

Take part in the celebrations at Blue Waters.

At the well-known location, Blue Waters will celebrate UAE National Day with conventional Emirati entertainment. Additionally, there will be skilled henna artists on hand, making it a tranquil place to stroll and take in the ambiance.

Kayak across the mangroves in Abu Dhabi.

Spending a peaceful morning canoeing through wetlands is an absolute joy. Kayaking through the Jubail Mangroves allows adventurers to get a closer look at nature's charm and the emirate's natural splendor. It might be one of the most disregarded things to do in Abu Dhabi. You won't be grabbing a paddle, are you? To reenergize your body and spirit, take a stroll along the boardwalks in the winter and seek a turtle or heron lounging amid the lake's reeds.

Explore Expo City.

Expo 2020 was a momentous occasion that demonstrated to the world the limitless promise of the future. It arrived with the characteristic UAE flair and mind-blowing infrastructure, as well as opportunities for innovation and spectacular entertainment. Expo City, the location, has subsequently undergone renovations and will keep this mindset. Everybody can find something to do here, thus there are activities going on all the time.
