Gideon Coal is the hearth, the warmth within the home, the steady heat to cook wonderful meals, the beating heart to warm the chill of a soul, the stocked woodshed, the ray of sun through a window. A protector. A guardian. A friend.
Kremy Lecroux is the stew pot, the silverware, the favorite spoon, the homemade bone broth, the smell of spices, the foundation, the walls, keeping his family safe however the wind howls. Keeping his family fed. Keeping his family.
Morning Frost is the books, the smell of sugars breaking down, the turning of dog-eared pages, the little spaces in the margins of recipes where someone has made their little touches, keeping the knowledge for those who come after, for those who are willing to learn, for those who crave to know
Gricko and Hootsie Grimgrin are the music of the home, the soft hoot beyond the window at night, the familiar creak of the floorboards, the hushed lullabies of rain on the roof, the absence of loneliness, always welcoming, always comforting, always soothing, always soft.
Torbek is the devourer, the one who consumes, the one who can appreciate the wholeness of the warmth of a hearth, the taste of a good meal, the pages he knows by heart, the knowing that he isn't alone, even when sometimes he feels himself a stranger in this house. Torbek is home with Carnival Lecroux. Torbek is home.

the terror a novel by dan simmons is. Bad. but i do think it was worth reading personally to experience the goodsir medical malpractice extended director's cut, peglar being gay and homophobic while gossiping with bridgens about mr hickey, and every time crozier described fitzjames like he was in a call someone a faggot without actually calling them a faggot competition

Anyway thanks to the brilliant @samuelroukin our long national nightmare is over: Henry Collins in AMC's The Terror 2018 was dressed as a jester for Carnivale.
This guy:
Is these guys:
They're fools. Which makes sense when you consider that in the Tarot:
That's right laugh jester!
It's all cocaine and executions downhill from here!

Still thinking about Dundy today.
Thinking about what a compelling and absolutely stellar choice it would have been, had Hickey recruited him onto Team Mutiny.
Thinking that, out of all the lieutenants, Le Vesconte may well have been the best choice.
Like, I don't actually believe that he would be seduced so easily. I believe he's ultimately a good person who's loyal to command (at least while Fitzjames still lives) and who, above all else, is loyal to the men.
But he's also pragmatic and ruthless, is capable of subterfuge, and ultimately, is willing to be at least somewhat complicit in the deaths of some men if it ensures his own survival and the survival of others.
And that's not nothing!!!

I don't know what's going on, but whenever I do try to search you up on tumblr, I keep typing 'carnival-ation' and then I'm all confused and dumbfounded when I don't see your blog pop up. And then I go to my like page and torture myself by scrolling until I see one of your posts. Awesome! :D

*Chuckles stands in a colorful suit and addresses Thacko, who sits in a big black robe behind a tall wooden desk*
Your Honor, my client Mrs. Curly was under the spell of malevolent magic when she committed this crime. And I believe everyone gathered in this court room today knows the likely cause of it…
*Thacko leans on one hand and furrows his brow*
Which is…?
*Chuckles grins widely and nods, clasping his hands behind his back*
Precisely right! The defense rests, your Honor.

the carnivale sequence in the terror is already one of the best parts of the show but it would've been even better if it'd had an unsettling dreamlike dance scene

Oh shucks… there there Gideon… oh he’s fully passed out from crying exhaustion. Oh. Poor man. *they wrap a blanket around Gideon and puts a pillow under his head* *they whisper to Gideon;* dry your tears, and sleep well. I’m sure you’ll be okay.
*through stressed sleep and choked sobs*
Please.........
Leave me....
There's nothing left here....
Spirit.... Please.....
