На границе, где день встречается с ночью.

Последние закатные лучи, желая остаться ещё на мгновение, сплетаются с подступающей волнами ночной синей прохладой.

Два голоса, два дальних эха: одно как зов того, кто уходит, и больше не вернётся, и очень тоскует (каждый раз тоскует!) и не хочет этого расставания. Другой - тихий и вкрадчивый, мягкий и шелестящий, глубокий и покорный. Понимающий эту вечную неизбежность и неотвратимость расставания раз за разом.

Каждый раз стремится солнце побыть с сумерками как можно дольше, подарить им самый красивый, самый тёплый и нежный последний луч.  В нём - вся его любовь и вся его тоска.

- Я так не хочу уходить!.. Но я не могу...

- Я остаюсь. За нас двоих.

После в сумерках ещё долго-долго горят закатные отсветы, долго-долго они окутывают и греют его теплом, долго-долго звучит в них далёкий голос...

Они отвечают - принимая, успокаивая, утешая.

Они знают, что не исчезает ничего, и что разлуки нет. Что их самих  одного без другого и вовсе не бывает, они всегда - продолжение друг друга, как руки, касающиеся самого сердца, как пульс одного бежит по венам другого.

- Как мне всегда не хватает твоих горячих ясных лучей!..

- Как мне всегда хочется остаться, погрузившись в твою прохладу!..

Два голоса, всегда звучащие вместе на границе дня и ночи, где, встретившись в объятиях на несколько минут, вновь и вновь прощаются друг с другом закатное солнце и сумерки. ✨✨✨

For @oxideblack and as an impression catcher ✨

As little story inspired by my friend's amazing artwork.

The miracles of your soul and your art are boundless. Thank you❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for tagging me @mostlikelytobeagainstcapitalism ❤!

10 characters/ 10 fandoms/ 10 tags (in no particular order)

James Flint - Black Sails

Madi Scott - Black Sails

Roj Blake - Blake's 7

Omar Little - The Wire

Elim Garak - Deep Space 9

Enjolras - Les Mis

Crowley - Supernatural

Chrisjen Avasarala - The Expanse

Moraine Damodred - The Wheel of Time

Gil Galad - The Silmarillion

Many of the charactes on this list are revolutionaries with progressive political views (Flint, Madi, Blake, Enjolras) so obviously this is the reason I love them. Omar stands out as an amazingly gentle yet admirable character among the gangsters in The Wire. Garak is my favourite among the morally grey characters, and Crowley is just great fun to watch. Avasarala and Moraine - scheming and manipulative, but essentially selfless and fighting for greater good. I also love Avasarala for her amazing fashion sense. Gil Galad is an inspiring figure in Tolkien's legendarium, the last High King of Noldor who held out against the enemy longer than any other.

I wrote a fic inspired by @oxideblack's wonderful art, here, and since it was well received, I figure I should mention it on Tumblr, too!

Just a little bit of a "Rumours" AU, mostly Avon introspection with the corresponding heaps of angst. Gen, really, except for the (past-)Avon/Anna.

@oxideblack

Kill the Dead is a fantasy novel written by Tanith Lee about an exorcist called Parl Dro, who is very clearly based on Paul Darrow and aspects of his Avon portrayal. Another character is apparently based on Michael Keating's portrayal of Vila. As such it has a few stories on AO3 both in its own right and that also play with references to the Blake's 7 universe

B7 references aside, it's an excellent and moving story even if you don't give two hoots for B7, but I am possibly biased as I read a lot of Tanith Lee.

The art above was for the original DAW paperback release and is by Don Maitz. I own both the paperback novel and a Maitz artbook featuring this art.

The style and mood of your lovely picture was such that it just immediately reminded me of the novel. :-)

Rebels and Fools: Issue 6

Happy Gauda Prime Day! And what more fitting day than to, at long last, release a new issue of our digital Blake's 7 fanzine, Rebels and Fools!

Issue 6 is finally here!

Once more a massive THANK YOU again to all contributors, without whom this zine wouldn’t exist. As our readers, please be vocal in your appreciation, in public or in private. You will find ways to contact the individual contributors in the zine, but I’m also always happy to take messages on this blog (ask box!), and appreciation posted into #rebelsandfools is most welcome and will be reblogged here (unless Tumblr eats the tagged posts because, well, Tumblr). And if you happen to be in the mood for a review - there is still space on R&F’s fanlore page!

Click here to get to the pdf download of the zine, or find the link for copy-pasting under this issue’s cover image by the fantastic @oxideblack.

Here is the link to the zine again, and for copy-pasting: 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cdxtvzza4nhay0r/Rebels%20and%20Fools%20-%20Issue%206.pdf

Enjoy the zine!

Sharing and Promotion: You are absolutely encouraged to talk about and promote the zine to Blake’s 7 fans anywhere and everywhere! If you wish to publicly share the zine off Tumblr, please link to the original of this Tumblr post, not the direct Dropbox link. I will be maintaining the link on here, but cannot guarantee that the download link won’t change over time.

One caveat on promotion: you cannot use the cover image or any content that is not your own in full or in part for the promotion of the zine (or any other purpose, really) without the explicit permission of the editor (me) and the creator of the content in question - if you plan a bigger piece on/promotion of R&F, contact the editor. You are not permitted to profit financially from this zine in any way, including but not limited to promotion and/or sharing of the zine.

Contributors: You are absolutely allowed to post your own work elsewhere, as long as you don’t submit it to another zine. I would, however, ask you to wait just one little week until December 28th 2022 before doing so, just so people have time to appreciate the zine in full first, and that you mention the zine and link back to this post when you do. There is also an AO3 collection, if you want to add your works there. For now, you can absolutely point people to the full zine and highlight where to find your content, if you want. Please do not use any submissions to the zine to make financial profit. And finally: thank you again for your wonderful submissions!

My own miracle 🥰✨

Dear @oxideblack drew them for me ❤️❤️❤️

Can't find words to express how inspiring and beautiful they are.

Sometimes I think I can feel the warmth of their skin if I touch the picture, it's unbelievably realistic and living.

Thank you for this treasure ✨

Was thinking of doing more art today, but then I saw something new from the fantastic @oxideblack and really I'd rather sent you over there to appreciate the amazing Soolin.

Instead, have some holiday greetings from Minecraft!Avon! Remember the skins for the entire crew I made last year? Occasionally, I put them to good use for silly things like this.
