#the road with no return

It doesn't matter how, but I just stumbled across a Russian rock opera based on the Witcher and I don't know what's happening but the music is cool.

I do not speak enough Russian or know enough about the Witcher to know if it's a good story or not but it sounds neat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DAY 2 - Alternative Universe (The Road To El Dorado AU!!)

[theamazingmr-j]

ok so im watching m9 for the first time, and as its been out for years atp i know a lot of things that happen in the campaign. mostly, i know that caleb and essek end up together. and i know a lot of people talk about how courting of the crick like… prophecies their eventual love story, and i would agree i think it does. but theres another thing thats making me fucking INSANE about them.

so when m9 first get their hands of the beacon, caleb identifies it, because hes a wizard, and is scared by it right. but when its just him at the table, and matt is describing his dream he says “and for the first time in a long time you feel at peace” when hes dreaming about the beacon and dunamancy and whatnot.

its just so fucking insane to me that basically calebs first ever direct interaction with dunamancy is PEACE!! LIKE ARE WE KIDDING!?!(! HE FELT PEACE AND COMFORT!! AND HE FEELS PEACE ABD COMFORT WITH ESSEK!! THE FUCKING GUY WHO WEILDS DUNAMACY BETTER THAN ANYONE!! WHO FUCKING TAUGHT CALEB HOW TO WEILD IT!! UGH THEY MAKE ME CRAZYYYY

Reading The Hobbit has a warm, cozy feeling to it, like sitting by a fireplace and downing a warm mug of hot chocolate. There are times when you want to cry, times when you want to laugh, times when you want to fight alongside Thorin’s Company. But at the end of the story, you realise that you will never experience that, because The Hobbit is fictional in reality, but so real in the heart and mind.

Reading The Lord of The Rings has a cool feeling, neither warm nor cold, but a comfortable one; it’s as if you’re sitting by a window, staring into the rain, and wishing you could go outside and relish in the rain but you can’t because it’s cold. There are times when you want to laugh, cry, dine with the Fellowship, fight with the Fellowship. But you can’t, because The Lord of The Rings is only a figment lodged in your heart, tucked away in a cozy spot.

Reading The Silmarillion has the feel of sitting in an enormous library almost abandoned, and fishing out an old, dusty book from a nook long forgotten, written about the history of the world. There are cases when you want to delve into that world and explore it, revel in it, fight it, love it, yell at the people in it. But you can never do that, because it is a history long past, existing only in the minds of very few.

Reading the old stories narrating the entire history of Arda has the feel of travelling back in time to the Library of Alexandria, reading and studying all the library can give. There are times when you want to cry, mourn, grieve, celebrate, laugh, revel in the world. But you can never, as that world, those people, are all part of your heart and mind, tucked away into the most precious part of you.

Reading the legendarium doesn’t make you want to be a part of that world because you love it. It makes you want to be a part of that world because the characters are normal people, like you, who got roped into an unlikely adventure, forever narrated in song, poems, ballads and laments.

They are simple stories, of simple people, in a simple world, where if you existed, you could have been one of those souls both fortunate and unfortunate.

Reading the legendarium makes you want to be part of it, because it makes you think you can survive it.

And certainly, if you have read this amazing mythological masterpiece, you absolutely can survive it.

Ghost Train

It was no secret that the trains in Gotham were damaged, whether it was from all the explosions that flooded the city on a daily basis or the fact that the rails were broken wasn't completely clear. At that point, what was once a train station was nothing more than an empty place used by some homeless people to sleep.

Or that's what it was supposed to be, because while the station was damaged and underneath the city, it was actually active. It just had another kind of train, a slightly more interesting one.

In Danny's defense, he was extremely bored and there was an abandoned train station he could use to play with. All it took was calling in a favor from Technus and a fully functional ghost train connected the Infinite Realms to Gotham.

The ghosts, of course, used this for fun. Fighting each other, chasing each other, celebrating, having concerts. It was a way to go to the human world without anyone causing trouble for them, not that anyone was paying attention anyway.

Or at least, no one was supposed to be paying attention, because Waylon was dumbfounded at the sight. He had escaped to the old rails when he had no other choice, his sewers were compromised and he needed a way out. He didn't expect to walk right into a party, or be offered a sandwich with a smile instead of a shout.

He could also observe a clearly glowing train and the fact that everyone there was glowing. They could be metas, or another completely new creature, but Waylon didn't care, they gave him food and he wasn't a snitch.

unrelated to the art but i think Zuke isn't necessarily a singer or an all-out karaoke person HOWEVER. In his head there's a very small list of really specific songs he'd cause a scene over of his own volition & his favorite is Perpetual Fool by Spacehog

Love. He had never spoken the word before, but then, neither had I. Of course, the word had been written in our letters, implied in our every action, felt within our kisses, but never the actual word stated itself. The irretrievable declaration.

Look I know it was the whole world being effected by no LGBT+ people because Conrad's a bigoted bitch, but we did only see it via the Doctor so...

Bonus Sarah Jane Adventures meme because this is the only meme that comes to mind for me right now in terms of what Bannerman Road Gang is going through in this false reality but could get more ideas for memes never know:

I saw some comments on a CB post going on about how the Cinderella Boy fandom is way too smart and let me just say the only reason I haven’t posted my Cinderella Boy Hero’s Journey Analysis yet is because I’m trapped in school during exam week

We’ve all got smarty pants stuff to say, some of us just don’t have the time to say it

Ahh, young love...
