Mindlessly wandering the meadows

There's nothing scarier than someone who has been forsaken by the world... Please keep asks and reblogs SFW, gore is fine I request that you do not reveal my location to the Weaver of Fates. I enjoy my fateless status. I'm nothing but a humble wanderer and taleteller.

🐦‍⬛Introduction

Just a brief introduction Greetings, I haven't really chosen a name for myself yet, so feel free to refer to me as anything as long as it's polite.

I'm fine with any pronouns, I'm an adult but I am not comfortable with NSFW so I ask that comments, asks, reblogs etc. don't include it. Gore on the other hand is fine. Including warnings when writing possibly triggering topics in reblogs or comments are appreciated, both for me and for anyone possibly reading them.

English is not my first language, so I may make spelling or grammar mistakes.

Keep AI away from anything I write. If you even so much as try to approach me with it I WILL bite. Generative AI should not exist and I will die on this hill. A lot of respect to anyone who is brave enough to pick up that pencil, pen, keypad or whatever and create something of their own without the need of a robot to think for them.

I cannot guarantee my activity, posts will be scattered and random. It depends on my motivation and ideas. Sometimes I'll write multiple posts in one day and sometimes nothing for days on end.

For anyone curious, the character in my profile picture is a magpie bard/minstrel I drew, in lore one could imagine that my posts are things that little magpie has sung about. Here's a picture of it.

Well, I currently have nothing else to add; I wish you a pleasant travel through this place, fellow wanderer of these lands.

The bloody knife twisted in the wound of the innocent, crimson tears dripping from the gash and decorating with scarlet stains the floor underneath. The wood avidly drinking the deep red liquid, its marks spreading through the light incisions of the plank.

It was an unnecessary spilling of blood, a worthless sacrifice.

Incomprehensible Hearts

You say I am your Sun and you are my Moon,

But you're the warm ray of sunlight while I'm the quiet autumn rain,

You're the glittering water from the spring while I'm the fog of the lonely bog,

You're the leather-bound book on the shelf while I'm the droplet of ink dry on the smooth wood,

You're the song of the first morning birds while I'm the screech of the bat in the night,

Your petals might be wilted, but you'll always be my rose,

And I'm a dried leaf crumbling in the cold wind.

He died as a monster, but with the soul of a hero. He chose the best thing for everyone else and left himself to rot, a wilting flower uprooted and abandoned there until it was dead. You can try to plant a withering flower, but you can't save it. It's too late.

"In just the past few weeks... I have lost my two most loyal knights. They vowed their life to this kingdom, and they died before they could see it prosper... before peace finally fell onto this land..."

[fateless-minstrel]

It appears the knights I'm mourning became three....

Does the Weaver of Fates have a name other than Their title?

That is truly an interesting question that you ask. I will say that if they do have one, unfortunately I don't know it. I've never tried approaching them nor wish for them to know me. All I know is that one's destiny is weaved by their hands, and my existence is a mystery to them. Otherwise, fate would probably decree for me to not be here for... various reasons I would prefer to not discuss.

"You say I'm going through the horrors? Buddy. My guy. I am the horrors."

"If there's one thing that you can learn from a hero, it's that a victory is never yours, it's solely in the hands of those who come after you. And you shall be missed. Greatly."

[fateless-minstrel]

"They could've been lovers. Worse, they never got to be"? No. Even more evil. They could've been friends. They could've gotten to know each other and spent time together and been silly together but the plot. The plot took that away from them. And now it's a forever mourning of the relationship they could've had, suffering with the snippets we got that made it so terribly clear they could've been friends.

"You don't know what it means... to truly lose yourself... to stop being the person you were, and fall into the bottomless pit that is the void of your truth. To lose your sense of self, of existence, to lose everything that made you a person to the point where the world is nothing and you are nothing"

[fateless-minstrel]

"When it comes down to it... you knew what would happen, didn't you? You continued and persisted... and you smiled... your damned smile. Pretending everything is fine when you knew you wouldn't survive. You're so... cruel... for that..."

[fateless-minstrel]

"Unless you're at a crossroad, don't worry about the direction to turn to."

[fateless-minstrel]

Many people associate or compare being smart with being knowledgeable.

But the issue with that logic is, that a stupid person can know many things, but they will lack the knowledge to prove themselves and their point through them, instead arguing that they're right without actually trying to analyse the other's point as they will see anything they don't believe in as inherently flawed and thus incorrect.

An intelligent person on the other hand will analyse both theirs and the other person's perspective and figure out which side they agree with (or if they don't agree with either side, or agree with both) via actually listening to the other person's point and seeing if it's worth considering before dismissing it purely because it's not theirs or they don't immediately agree with it.

Which is why talking to a smart person can result in a debate, while doing it with a stupid person always results in a mindless, pointless argument where neither side actually wins.

"But what if we... were created as a plague to destroy this world? What if we were made to grab all that's good on this land and turn it into ash and dust?"

[fateless-minstrel]

"He's far too kind. Even the kindest of hearts can't save you from all that's horrible in this world... Too much kindness can lead to being hurt. And I would never want him to be hurt..."

[fateless-minstrel]

One word would've been enough... you were willing to follow them through hell and back, if they asked. But now, they're walking down that cursed path alone, and you can only stare, unblinking, unforgiving, at the so-called "heroes" celebrating their victory... and what's left of the only person that ever, truly, accepted you. The remains of someone who wanted to do greater things, but only when they stopped shining you truly realised that the star you were chasing was just a burning meteor...
