That’s it, that’s the show

[queen-of-lightning-and-fire]

They tell the story around campfires. In great halls. In kitchens. And in taverns. In the skies, on the desert plains, and in the howling mountains. They tell the stories to little girls and little boys. They tell the stories to future kings and queens. They tell the story of a ragtag band of misfits, mercenaries, thieves, and assassins. Of royal born and street urchins who fought side by side. They tell the story of the Queen who was promised. 

They tell the legend of a mystical queen who could burn the world with her flames. Who had scars on her back and hands from her time as a slave. Who lived a double life as an assassin but came back for her people. Who banished the dark queen and brought back the light. 

They tell the story of a long-awaited king who had powers the likes of which had not been seen for over a decade. Who defeated his predecessor and saved his subjects. Who was just and merciful and who had a penchant for knowledge. Who had once worn a collar around his neck and who had a phantom haunt him from the moment it came off. 

They tell the story of a rejected lord who was once a guard. Who was the most loyal friend a man could ask for. Who believed in right and wrong. Who went on the run but stayed to help the people. Who went to the south unable to walk and returned with an army. 

They tell the story of a warrior prince who was the fiercest in all the lands. Who once was the lackey of the dark queen but was the first to leave her side. Who had ice and wind running through his veins. And who wore the story of his shame for all the world to see.

They tell the story of a deadly queen who drank the blood of men. Who was spared by her enemy and waged war against her family. Who guided her people to peace and into a new age. And who united two races who wared for over a century. 

They tell the stories of the women. Beauties and fighters. One who could change her skin like some put on a different outfit. One who always aimed her arrow straight and true. One who was saved by a queen in an alleyway and in turn saved another and then another and then another. One who was a beacon for her people from the moment she was born until the moment her life was snuffed out. One who ended the suffering of many and who saved thousands. One who trecked across the continent to find her lost queen and never gave up hope. And one who gave her life for a better world. 

They tell the stories of the men. Legends and tall tales. Men who were the fiercest warriors in all the lands. Who once served the dark queen but left her for a brighter flame. A man who let the world think the worst of him, but always stood by his family. A man who rode the skies like some men walk the earth. A man who gave his life and heart for a woman he never indeed knew. But loved none the less. 

They tell the stories of these men and women. These kings and queens. These gods and goddesses. They whisper them as the candlesticks melt into nothing. They chant them as rain stomps on the roofs. They murmur them on days when the winds are so loud they rattle the worlds. They recount them on nights when the snow is so thick you can’t even see your hand in front of you. They recite these stories on the killing fields bathed in blood. They quote these stories in books and by word of mouth to anyone who will listen. They hiss these stories in lands whose names have been forgotten. They proclaim these stories to their children and their children and their children. They remember the stories of Aelin Ashryver Galathynius and the sacrifices she made until night descends upon the realms.

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

[super-secret-bi-spy]

“Well she didn’t exactly say ‘no’..”

“Yea, but did you see what she was wearing?”

“Boys will be boys!”

BONUS:

[minimoffs]

my favourite thing about the raven cycle is that at various points each of them have some sort of deep internal existential crisis monologue, which is interrupted by one of the others doing some dumb teenager shit and then immediately afterwards the existential crisis resumes. and people say these books aren’t relatable.

Me after watching the avengers endgame trailer

[disappointedandsurprised]

Do not give up

Once a weary man walked down a road

Through a dense forest as it heavily snowed

The man sad and tired with nearly no will

Fell on the ground and lay very still

On his prostrate body death seemed to creep

If not for the sound of his wail and his weep,

'I'm tired of living. I'm tired of life.

Everyday on this earth is my back on a knife.

I've given my all but it won't be alright.

There is nothing left to remedy my plight.

Wandering aimlessly to find nothing at all

I have had enough, it is my time to fall.

I cannot continue. I wish I had died.'

He said so morosely as he cried and he cried.

"You cannot give up. It is far too soon.

Live for the sunlight and gaze at the moon.

Live for the family, live for the friend.

Live and see your journey through to the end."

'If I were to die then no one would mourn

For in this wide world I remain all alone.'

"That's just not true. You must think and see.

I am with you as you are with me.

If you want a reason to remain alive

I'll give you one, two, three, four or even five."

And so the divine voice from the sky above

Enveloped him in its warmth and its love

"You'll want to live and you'll want to sing.

You'll want to dance and do everything.

Do not give up for now though you fret,

There's exciting things in your path up ahead

There will be darkness and there will be thunder.

But there will be light and there will be wonder.

Though life has you down and weary and sore

Do not give up now, there's more to explore.

There's places to go and people to meet

Some people to mourn, some people to greet

For happiness and pain always walk hand in hand

Alone they are like the sea without land

Do not give up because there's much more to life

Than drowning in pain and living in strife.

For more days to live are more days to love

To feel wind on your cheeks and gaze up above.

A million paths ahead, a million things to say

Do not give up now, live to see another day."

With much more hope but no less strain

The man got up and started walking again.

He kept moving forward with new things to seek

And in motion he felt just a little less weak.

"Don't give up just yet, fate still has cards to deal

Cards that will hurt and cards that will heal

Even if fortune does not fill your cup

Do not give in and do not give up."

[disappointedandsurprised]

Though mountains melt and oceans burn

The gift of love shall still return

- Cruel Beauty
