“happy new year!” i say. "excuse me,“ someone replies. it is gandalf. “but what do you mean? do you wish me a happy new year, or mean that it is a happy new year whether I want it or not; or that you feel happy this new year; or that it is a new year to be happy in?”

Whether by coincidence or not, Sierra's wait was not in vain; the bus rounded the corner and began to break heavily as it came to a stop before her.

WIP Tag Game

Rules: If you are tagged, you have to work on your WIP until you write a sentence that contains at least one word from the sentence given to you by the person who tagged you. Then post that sentence and tag as many people as you want. Tag-backs are not only allowed, but encouraged! >:)

I've been tagged roughly a bajillion times over the past couple of months, but haven't done much about it because I've been on a writing hiatus in the wake of finishing the first draft of my WIP. But I'm trying to get back into writing regularly, so I'm going to start a new thread, and tag back everybody who tagged me! >:D

@rainintheevening

It didn't take a genius to understand what Qui-Gon was getting at.

@winterinhimring

The dead became one with the Force, and the Force was a Jedi's constant companion.

@rainintheevening

And yet, Obi-Wan still couldn't shake the feeling of abandonment.

@authortobenamedlater

And if he didn't leave even the slightest crack open for the Force to seep through, that meant Qui-Gon couldn't reach him either.

@winterinhimring

A child with his fingers in his ears, demanding to know why no one would talk to him.

@bunnyscar

Accept the shame, then let it go.

@winterinhimring

Learn from them, and they will help you grow.

@bunnyscar

Taking a deep breath, Obi-Wan envisioned his lungs filling with stale air from the years he had languished here on Tatooine.

@kraytwriter

Opening eyes he hadn't realized he'd closed, Obi-Wan turned to look at Qui-Gon again.

@kraytwriter

“I was there.”

@kraytwriter

All he could see was his master's eyes, full of sympathy and compassion, understanding and acceptance.

Lol, all of the words I chose were very boring and generic, but there you go XD And yes, if I mentioned your name multiple times, consider yourself tagged that many times.

Awake!

The giant taunts you, doesn't he, daughter. He hungers for your destruction, slavering after your soul. (Awake!) He will not be quick your suffering a banquet to him. He comes to your fields and uproots all your fruitful trees, soiling your fields with the blood of your fruits till you are as barren as the desert. (Awake!) The giant has a sister, Shame she is called. How she taunts you for your barrenness, for what you chose - and what you did not. (Awake!) Your tears salt the earth, your screams do not even echo in the void. You may as well be mute, as silent as the fruit stolen from you.

Oh son, how your back bends under such weight. The giant laughs at you as you vacate the place you were designed to stand. (Awake!) You toil and tend the fields he desires, can he not convince you to hand over what is precious? Just give him the fruit, or he'll take it by force, what's the point of putting up a fight? (Awake!) Blood soaks the fields, the giant's sister comes to call, taunting you for what you chose - and what you did not. (Awake!) Cry all you want, it won't return what was stolen. You can scream to the heavens, but their laughter will drown out your cries.

But did you not hear? Oh son, oh daughter, do you not know? What was stolen shall be returned seven-fold. (Awake!) The blood cries can be soothed with Blood that is greater, your fields can be healed by the One who is Healer. (Awake!) How can blood wipe away blood? A wonder so beautiful! Let the giant gnash his teeth, his death is already decreed anyway. (Awake!) So daughter, dry your tears. Oh daughter, rejoice in the harvest. Son, take your place. Oh son, the fields are ripe for celebration. Awake! You shall see your children treading over the ashes of the giant's bones.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE (2005) dir. Andrew Adamson

[writingvalkyrie]

Incarnation

Adam’s flesh and Adam’s bone

Cast uncovered far from home

Adam’s children, Adam’s kin

Passed down to them is Adam’s sin

Eve and Adam’s progeny

Pass hand to hand fruit from that tree

Whose juice stained Adam red like blood

And dribbled down his line full-flood.

Forlorn, decrepit, Adam’s race 

Sink dejected to disgrace

Drag their feet into their doom 

Find in every place no room.

—

God of Heaven, God of might

Saw Adam’s children ‘neath the night

Their wails and cries they pierced His heart

God of mercy took their part

“Adam’s children, Adam’s seed

I have seen your deepest need

So Eve’s daughter bears a Son

Wait and watch for Him to come”

—

Ages come and ages go

Their groaning gains an edge of hope

Adam’s line, the race of men

Know not they slouch toward Bethlehem

But midst their labor and their sighs

Adam’s kind look toward the skies

—

Emmanuel, God in our midst,

How could mere men prepare for this?

—

The night is dark, the night is deep

The world with labored breathing sleeps

Virgin fair and virgin mild

Travails with her firstborn child

One single, tiny, wailing cry

Shatters Earth and splits the sky

And even the heavenly angels sing

In wonder of this baby thing

—

Oh Adam’s flesh and Adam’s bone

God has made in you a home

Look upon the newborn king

God become Adam’s offspring

—

Humanity, oh woman’s seed,

Thou art redeemed by this new deed

Thou shalt crush the serpent’s head

By birth of one long past the dead

Who this very night is born 

The infinite in human form

—

Fully God and fully man

You have broken Adam’s ban;

Shatter with your love the curse

As Adam last save Adam first

Let sighs and sorrow flee away

Behold, ye dark ones, Spring of Day!

Adam’s kind, weep ye no more

You are purged of pit and sore

This babe has heard your helpless cries

Hear the song that fills the skies! 

Your groans and wails will pierce His heart

For God has come to take your part. 

[writingvalkyrie]

there are two types of writers.

“this plot has been in my head for 10 years and finally it’s perfect.”

“what if frogs had a secret government?”

[writingvalkyrie]

Did not find what i wanted on ao3. Did not find what I wanted on ffnet. Clicked on wattpad and then immediately decided I’m not that desperate actually.

Once again thinking about the “Tolkien elves are physically superior to humans in every way” thing as a disability parallel

[writingvalkyrie]

we need more disabled people in fiction who have roles outside of “disabled person”. we need more disabled people just existing and being casually written into the narrative and being just as much a part of it as the abled characters. we need more disabled people who are more than objects of pity or plot devices we need more disabled CHARACTERS.

[writingvalkyrie]

Ooh, this song is so Oriana.

[writingvalkyrie]

If you had to brutally narrow it down to just one, who’s your favourite of your original characters?
