PRINCE OF NIGHTMARES, KING OF WORMS.

[herrikhan]

“piri u keep saying u love stinky warlock boy and want to write him and then u never do why is that” well, whenever i think about him i am crippled by the amount of yearning and pining over his future wife who he doesnt think will ever marry him because he’s evil and she’s good, and how he fails to realize that the simple fact he wants to be good for her means he can be good for her, and also his futile attempts at concealing his feelings from her because he thinks she’ll be disgusted and he can’t stand the thought of her ever having to feel disgust

[herrikhan]

just occurred to me (again) that the whole premise of this blog is “santa claus has a daughter and she’s married to a cosmic horror and also her best friend became a depressed millennial after accidentally inventing a time machine” and that’s just, that’s so much, and i love it

[herrikhan]

spicy concept: herrikhan leading a coven of witches and hags and warlocks and such

[herrikhan]

[herrikhan]

also he hates gothic romance novels fndbfhdhfjg one time he read jane eyre and he was like “this is BULLSHIT he doesnt DESERVE HER” and if anyone ever calls him out as being the male lead of his own gothic romance novel he just shrugs like “i dont deserve my wife either but you dont see me burning down a building to get her do you”

good morning. i have come to the conclusion that herrikhan, prince of nightmares, king of worms, the great and terrible, the fallen star, etc. is a househusband he does the cooking

“ remarkable that one plane of existence can host so much, and so little, distance. ”

“mm. remarkable what they’ll do to traverse it, too.”

horses have just been domesticated. he’d be impressed at the tenacity of human beings to look at something wild and decide they want to own it… were he not so far above them. it’s hard to be impressed by a creature that cannot live more than a meager 90 years at most. to creatures like herrikhan, and the enchantress– those immortal beings from the stars or other planes– it’s the blink of an eye. so what if humanity domesticated animals, discovered fire, built houses and cities? they will all die soon enough. and after that, all it takes is a few more generations to forget everything they did. no, herrikhan is not impressed with them– he is amused, because he knows it will all be gone someday. and he will live to see it.

“i had almost thought they’d given up on that whole business when beringia went under.” he considers for a moment, and then he smiles. what he’s about to say does not fit well with his glowing exterior– every inch the prince of stars, an ageless thing fed on nothing but love and adoration since the universe began.

“how long do you think it will take for the plagues to set in when they visit each other?”
