This Shaking Pt 5 by TheLadyFox, literature

Literature

This Shaking Pt 5

Part 5 Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me, so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go. The Waking (Theodore Roethke) In the last ten days Will has seen more wonders than most men encounter in years, or even whole lifetimes. Even now, he's being carried across the ocean floor in a brass bubble, by a giant sea dragon. Had this happened a mere 10 days ago, the sailor would be pressed up against one of the cramped cabin's portholes, gawking at all the sea life he's sailed over but never seen. As it is though, it is all he can do to stay awake. There is not enough room in the bubble for him to stand, l

This Shaking Pt. 4

Part 4 We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. The Waking (Theodore Roethke) The clay is all consuming, smothering him in a blanket of black. Will struggles, but he doesn't know which way is up or out, and the black is slowly congealing, tightening around his arms, his legs, his face. He can't breathe! Will kicks and thrashes until the clay becomes too solid for him to move at all. His lungs feel as if they will burst like over-ripe fruit any second. He can picture them split open, fibrous, red, and oozing. When he can no longer move, he fights to

This Shaking Pt. 3

Part 3 I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go. The Waking (Theodore Roethke) Will is woken by the scraping of stone against stone. He struggles to right himself, but is not quick enough. Though the door to his cell remains closed he finds himself being hoisted into the air from behind. He's dumped unceremoniously on his feet and yanked about to find the entire back wall of the small space gone. “A secret door” he marvels. Then fingers the size of sausages curl around his upper arm and he barely has time to snatch his bag from the

This Shaking Pt. 2

Part 2 Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. The Waking (Theodore Roethke) Will is not a man of monetary means. He is however a man well-liked by many and loved by not a few. Normally it's a 14 day journey to Ulpha by sea, and then another 3-5 days traveling inland to get to the university, far more time than Will has. But Will has spent the last two days calling in every favor, every debt, and every positive association he could to raise enough money to shave days off the journey. The first measure was tickets on

This Shaking Pt. 1

Part 1 This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go. The Waking (Theodore Roethke) “It's good to be a sailor, free on the sea the wind in your hair, mother ocean beneath. It's good to be a sailor, back home from the sea Your family around you, the pear trees in leaf!” “A Sailor's Life: Being a spirited homage to those brave men who commune with the sea in both fact and feeling.” (Timofey Gafkovich) A salty breeze from the kitchen window ruffles his pewter locks as Will Robinson sings the snippet

Commission [EDIT: FILLED!]

0 min read

Due to some serious financial setbacks in the last couple of weeks, I am trying something new and opening a single commission slot. This slot is for a custom action figure or custom pony of a character or design of your choice. I suppose if someone wanted writing from me that's possible too. Price is negotiable and will depend on what you want, the number of details, etc. (cross-posted to FB and LJ)

OC Meme

0 min read

Guh, my last journal was from that unpleasant period last summer.  Time for something new! I was tagged by the sneaky Shardglass for this silly meme. Alas that my characters aren't near so interesting as hers 1. Post 8 facts about your character. 2. Tag 8 some other characters. 3. Post their names with the creator's avatars. 4. Tag backs allowed, if you like. Just let me know in the comments in case I don't follow your journal. 1. Lyris is from Cerrica. Cerricans tend to value two things: the arts/culture and TRADITION. Lyris is not your average Cerrican. 2.Lyris was born in the capitol city to the noble house of Aven.  Noble houses in

Your blank ponies are wonderful! Thank you for posting them and letting people use them freely too! Do you have any plans on making some G3 unicorn poses? I'd love to see Rarity or sweetie belle's poses.

Glad you like them! G3 Rarity has been requested more than once now, so I will probably do her after I finish the lineup I am currently working on. ^_^
