#the cage gardens

"I do not want to read it, i want to hear it. I have no place to store letters... I want you to visit me more often. That is all. I have so very much time..." "Oh, must I? This place is abhorrent, and frequent visitations to the gardens could spark suspicion... or worse, a misunderstanding in motive. Is this to be a hostage situation, with my poor, defenseless book?" Jamie's agitation is strong, but does not cover their unease. "Hostage? You have much more freedom in your cage, than I do in mine, I'm afraid. Surely you can't fly down to the gardens on occasion? it's very pretty here... besides," They lean in close, and Jamie can smell the sweetness of honey and roses, "We both know she'll get far more mad at me than at you."

A Perfectly Normal Conversations between Jamie and @the-dye-stained-socialite's Marigold, in a perfectly normal location :)

love the woodsman so much because like. he’s the WOODSMAN. the beast tells wirt “become the lantern-bearer” . yet we never hear anyone call the woodsman “the lantern-bearer” because he’s MORE. he’s always BEEN more. they don’t call him a judge or anything. he’s the woodsman. he’s not who he used to be (the judge) but the lantern isn’t his sole identity (the lantern-bearer) no matter how much the beast tried to manipulate him he’s has pieces of himseld left. and now he’s just. the woodsman. the wood guy.

The Sua comic is so good it scratches the right cortical regions.

The remains of dead children are akin to snow -a hallmark of winter- to insinuate the cessation of existence. If Sua's sister is to be taken at face value, it is a ritual restricted to children. Mixing their remains in the grass they once walked on, in the only place that offers the vestiges of humanity as a bargain to elicit their most beautiful cries, is horrid.

Equating ashes with snow is such a twisted play on the connotation of purity the latter carries. But also, the remains are scattered under the starry night sky, as if to symbolise the glimmer of hope fading away. Or it could be seen as going back to the abode in the sky where God would have lived had they not been forgotten.

Anakt Garden represents a one-way trip to the afterlife, which is why Sua's sister references it as "hell", because it is frightening. She still has her instincts intact and fears death unlike those who grew up in the garden. However, Sua finds reprieve in this afterlife, morphing into a "heavenly garden", because she was found by Mizi, her delight, her enticing "paradise". In the end, she becomes a perfect victim of the system that ensnares all.

The entire world is built on a travesty of concepts as we know them, deprived of their most raw characteristics. Everyone has to return to the Great Anakt; ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

There’s small threads on my TikTok I think about time to time

Some one said that Adrien has mask up expect for around Lottie. In which I replied she is his safe space. And another retorted but he didnt stay a safe space.

I think about that a lot

(Inspired by a scene in the movie garden state)

relistened to mag102 nesting instinct and even out of the tma context i think adam would like semi-jokingly call michael his ‘permanent little stomach bug’ or his ‘little earworm’ for like shits and giggles and kind-of less-so as a comment about the nature of their relationship but idk how michael would react. somewhere between wildly flattered and looking at adam (mentally) and raising an eyebrow and going ‘the only insect in this relationship is you’ which results in him sleeping on the sofa (in their head) for a week

A conversation I had earlier has left me thinking about Shaw & his growing affinity for the Great Game and like, why he’s ended up involved in it in the first place. Part of it comes from the link between studying languages and making/breaking codes & ciphers, but as for character motivations it’s actually one of the few times that Shaw isn’t doing things for like, all the wrong reasons imo. Shaw’s a fundamentally guilty character, not just because he ran away from his family to do all this in the Neath, but because he’s very aware that he has a significantly better life then he ever would’ve on the surface. All this knowledge, the security, the influence, the money, these are things he never could have dreamed of before. And so in order to mitigate some of that guilt, he plays the game for the marginalized, for the revolution, for change. He puts his money, his newfound skills, his newfound power, back into playing Black with the hope that somehow, someway, it will make things a little bit better for the people he left behind.

Can you guys believe I’m actually growing shit. Holy fuck. These are ALIVE. And except for the ones in most of the pots I grew these from SEEDS.

I think they might be lagging behind bc I was delayed to get them in the ground but. They’re alive and I’m happy.

[capn-twitchery]

hm. so i've thought a lot about how there's probably people twitch thinks they recognise from "their" memories who wouldn't know who they are

but i've somehow never considered that there must be people who knew twitch before they got put in the cage gardens, and twitch wouldn't recognise a single one of them,,,i don't know which is worse, both of them hurt!!!!!

The Scoundrel would totally do red honey wouldn't they? They wouldn't care about the poor schmuck with bees in their brain at all

maybe even black honey if they were feeling extra stupid one day.

funny you should ask because i've thought about this. way too much. and my conclusion is. well. they'd do it but only conditionally. and by conditionally i mean if you presented it to them they'd happily do it but when you tell them how it's farmed they'd be upset for the wrong reasons
