THE ARABIAN NIGHTS. THE STORY OF KING SHAHRAYAR AND SHAHRAZAD, HIS VIZIER’S DAUGHTER. TRANSLATED BY HUSAIN HADDAWY.
none have seen what i have seen
he cannot protect what is his
what happened to me is little by comparison
from what I have seen, everyone suffers
i am no longer alone in my misery; i am well
i would like you to do something for me, to satisfy a wish, to answer a question truthfully
what happened to you has never happened to anyone else
when I saw your own misfortune, i felt better
no one is safe in this world
nothing can prevent or alter what is predestined
when a woman desires something, no one can stop her
what has possessed you that you wish to imperil yourself?
you are comfortable, while I am weary; you sleep, while I keep awake
you exert and exhaust yourself to comfort others
if you do this, life will be better and kinder to you, and you will find relief
you have done me a favor beyond description
i would be sitting pretty, but for my curiosity
desist, sit quietly, and don’t expose yourself to peril
i advise you out of compassion for you
i am afraid for you
i cannot tell you
yes, i insist, even if you have to die
i will not change my mind
aren’t you ashamed?
i no longer want you to tell me or explain anything
if he does this, he will live, and live in peace, and there will be no more grief
no, no, i don’t want to know anything. leave me alone, leave me alone. i don’t want to know anything
such tales don’t deter me from my request
may god not deprive me of you
listen well to what i am telling you
WE BUILT THIS TOWN ON SHAKY GROUND ... written by nosta.
IDILLIKA: my new url comes from the word YDILLIC, which means "beautifiul, picturesque, almost fairytale-like". which is how people perceive elain to be. they see her as this ethereal creature, almost inhuman in nature, even before the cauldron. elain is perceived and often described as a picture by many a person who meets her, because they see her beauty, but also think she lacks depth, that what they see is all there is to see.
such is the tragedy of elain archeron, forever to be seen as beautiful and nothing more. i think it's an interesting concept how everybody perceives elain, vs. how she truly is. because even in the very description of fairytale-like, there is the inherent grim and dark and pessimistic nature of old folklore fairytales. the darkness behind their seeming beauty and mystique.
it also applies to her after becoming fae, how her beauty can be considered a glamour on itself. her nature is deceiving, just like it happens with the other archeron sisters. they are never what other people see them to be, and in the case of elain, they just see a pretty picture -- with nothing behind.
the stories were a comforting thought, it was a chance for the young male to hear thoughts of the inner circle, to get to know the world and what it was like before he was born. he begged for them often, rather, choosing to hear the stories from their lives rather than the stories written in the children's novels that sat in the library. with az and cassian, he would hear stories of warriors, excited for the day he would be able to train just like them. with nesta, he would hear stories of the human world, must to her dismay. with mor and amren it depended on what was spoken, sometimes stories of velaris, the people living amongst them and with his parents, he heard about their story, the toned down version of it.
but with elain, she read the children's novels, and he always found himself curled up within her arms anyway, giggling when she did the voices of the characters, loving the way she could be so animated.
perhaps stories were drowned out the fact that whenever nyx asked rhys if he could accompany him on his visits through the night court, he was always turned down. he was still young, but nyx was eager to learn, eager to get out there and experience the courts.
he grows restless listening to the story, curled up in his aunts arms as he nods his head excitedly. 〝 can we go outside auntie elain? 〞 he's turning in her lap to face her entirely, wings tucked behind him as he watches her. 〝 papa wouldn't let me go with him, but he didn't say i couldn't play outside! 〞
perhaps she finds more comfort in the childish tales than nyx himself does ( perhaps reminders of what it felt like to be human are still what bring her a sense of ease ). and it fills her with guilt to feel so; elain does not wish to seem as if she holds a grudge against the boy, or his father, or feyre -- feyre who was whisked away by fae, feyre who brought the fae to their doorstep. nesta would have voiced her discontent without hesitating in the past, but elain always felt like she could not. perhaps she lacked bravery, perhaps she lacked guts. elain has always hated conflict, even within herself. especially within herself.
" it is cold outside, isn't it? " she's never one to be able to persuade people to do what she wants. most of the time, she will fail and comply eventually. graysen would often feel annoyed by her lack of a backbone, as he called it, " don't you want to hear the end of the story? "
she knows the tale by heart, and truth is, she always found the ending particularly heartwarming ( she looks forward to telling it every single time ). however, upon glancing down at her nephew's pouting expression, she falters, as usual, " maybe we can go play in the snow for a little while ... but your parents cannot find out, " she holds her pinky finger out for nyx to grasp, their special code for sharing secrets, " and you are putting on your thickest cloak! i know rhysand says part-illyrians do not get sick easily, but i'm not taking the risk.

don’t want to make things too easy for you.
you of all people should know, there’s nothing so cruel as memory.
sometimes you need to brace yourself for disappointment.
your presence creates these animals.
you know there’s only one way to stop me.
you’re right, i think i chipped a nail back there.
do they even have manners where he comes from?
i know you don’t feel like answering me, it’s the only way to catch who did this.
that doesn’t sound good.
this is not a time for negotiation.
oh you’re getting too predictable.
that loser didn’t stand a chance.
i thought you were dead.
you know, you almost had me scared back there!
today is not a good day to push me.
it’s sad, really. makes me feel like you don’t care to see the good side of me.
i am sorry i doubted you.
it’s what you taught me, do the right thing, that’s all that matters.
hold still, you wanker!
ooh, aren’t you scary.
you married because you were scared of dying alone.
figured you could use my help.
you’re afraid of being forgotten—and you will be forgotten.
no hostages. no surrender.
well, as you can see, no one is untouchable.
listen to me carefully, when they open the door, do not panic. stay close to me.
i’d like to thank my fans for their undying support.
i was determined to prove him wrong.
i learn from my mistakes, do you?
you ever wonder if you’re the reason this city’s so messed up?
you’re not going anywhere, old man.
i think you’re so busy playing hero you’ve forgotten what it’s like for the rest of us.
you’re old, you’re predictable, and you never stood a chance.
now look at what you’ve done!
i’m coming for you.
can i get you anything?
tell me, what are you really scared of?
please don’t hurt me.
answers don’t give you everlasting satisfaction
does that outfit help bury your feelings, hiding your true self?
i’m done taking orders from you.
i’ll let you help me find my socks if you keep this up.
by my count, there are still nine more ribs i can break.
we need to talk.
no one’s who you think they are.
as you can see, i’m looking much better.
i have a question for you.
what a blabbermouth! spoiling the surprise!
me? it was your plan, ya goofy clown!
oh, isn’t that cute?
who do you see when you look at me?
what happened? you used to put up a fight.
it’s this city, there’s something wrong with it.
how can you even joke about that?
you’ve never let me capture you this easily.
be quiet.
am i getting to you?
i’ve seen worse.
you will bring death to all who follow you.
what a pretty name.
there’s nothing wrong with you.
who do you think you’re talking to?
even after everything you’ve done, i would have saved you.
i don’t want to work with you.
how many lives will you destroy in pursuit of what you call justice?
i’m sorry about that.
he’s no better than the creep who killed your parents.
you are the product of everything you fear.
if you’re caught in that blast, you will die!
by the end of tonight, i will be a hero. just like you.
that’s much nicer.
like my new uniform? it’s hot right?
you can’t beat me this time.
ooh, that’s gotta hurt!
i still have a trick or two up my sleeve.
that’s what i like about you.
you need to learn to shut up.
nicely done! you deserve a prize!
why fight it?
i want you dead.
you’ve been a good friend.
i have nothing left to live for.
i’ve got your scent.
do not lie to me.
what are you talking about?
stop me once and for all!
wee! great night for a party.
you need us just as much as we need you.
oh, this is beautiful!
there’s plenty wrong with me.
you’re better than this.
you won’t get away with this!
can’t wait to return the favor.
you might learn that we’re not so different.
i’ll always be here to stop you.
you want to know what i want now?
now you want to talk?
you are in my world now.
if you try to stop me, i guarantee everyone will know your secret.
i will not in good conscience allow you to go.
we’re going to have some fun now!
i’m surprised he didn’t kill you.
every decision you’ve ever made ends with death and misery.
i may never get the chance to tell you this.
you’re ruining my big night!
it’s been a long rivalry, but this is the only way it could end.
i was wondering what would break first—your spirit, or your body.
i eat punks like these for breakfast.
you are beginning to impress me.
i want answers, damn it!
is that it then? we’re not as good as you?
that reminds me, i really need to get some new shoes.
what have i got to be afraid of?!
my father hated me, he always called me a moron.
that’s not fair!
you really should learn to keep that fat mouth of yours shut.
do you want to know something funny?
you seem distressed, anything you could use my help with?
why spoil the fun?
you took longer than i expected.
don’t ever try to get in my head again.
i just need to ask you some questions.
you don’t have anything to offer.
this old man looks like he’s gonna pee himself!
let’s see if you can keep up with me!
you just can’t get through your thick skull!
take a seat in my office.
having a little trouble up there?
gotta say, i thought you’d last longer.
i guess learning is a lot to ask from you, meat-for-brains.
i feel i should thank you.
you are in over your head and i don’t want this to be your end.
i think i’m looking better than ever.
i’m fine.
gotta go! i’ve got a party to arrange.
sorry to disappoint you, it’s just little ol’ me.
do you think i’m taking advice from some guy who’s never even been in a fight?
i thought i told you to stay quiet!
it will be my legacy.
we have much to discuss.
you okay?
seeing as how i’m feeling generous, i’ll give you this one for free!
do you know what i’m thinking right now?
have you ever considered that all this is your fault?
you are all experiencing fear in anticipation of some specific pain or danger.
are you cheating?
you had to spoil everything, didn’t you?
i’m here to help you.
this place is dangerous… i like it!
what the hell is happening down there?
you’ll never beat me.
we’re not all as strong as you.
do you hear that? sounds like eight tiny reindeer.
all your sacrifices and yet you are the one to blame!
is your mind playing tricks on you… or am i?
why should i care?
so we both die. i’m fine with that.
without fear, life is meaningless!
you are a truly extraordinary specimen.
i’ve trained my mind to feel no pain.
you ever wonder how things got to be so bad here?
was that the answer you wanted?
i want what i paid for.
you’re dead and buried, darling.
lighten up. i’m just messing with ya.
i’m gonna enjoy teaching you some manners!
i didn’t need your help.
you’re not a hero. you’re a despot.
come on, kid, this way.
see, you can be nice.
i can take anything you throw at me.
what the hell are you supposed to be?
oh, i don’t have a lot of friends.
you’re not safe here.
are you happy now?
since when have you been all about reading, anyway?
you’ve become what you’ve always fought against.
i look forward to breaking you.
you’ve gotten so used to the power, you think you’re better than everyone.
let’s start the party with a bang!
you’re as crazy as the rest of us.
A THOUGHT: elain telling nyx human fairytale stories because she doesn't know any prythian tales and nyx being like....but that's not how this and that works , because they portray fae and magic as different from how it truly is in prythian.
elain enjoys reading to nyx - elain enjoys reading out loud more than she does to herself, because that way, somehow, the images in her head quieten, and she can focus entirely on the story, and then she can pretend they're somehow back at the small cottage and nesta is reading to her at night, and everything is back to the way it should have been.
she often feels guilty for having such a thought in the presence of her nephew.
and also, because elain sees too much of feyre on the small child, she often finds herself lost in nyx's eyes and the curve of his nose that is just like her sister's. but then, the child tugs at her skirts, and she returns to reality, and continues with the book perched atop her lap.
" and so, the small prince said 'how may i escape the evil ogre?' " she likes doing the voices too, recalls their father doing so whenever he read to them, " then, he had an idea 'i shall disguise myself as a tree! that way the oger will not find me'. so the small prince took out a handful of magic dust out of his coats and --" a pause, " ... you seem bored. you really would rather just go play outside, wouldn't you? " @loresode ft. nyx
who wants a starter bestieeeeees
starters from the 430 b.c.e play by aeschylus, translated by david grene, PROMETHEUS BOUND
“i am forced to do this ; do not keep urging me.”
“you can be softhearted.”
“come, why are you holding back?”
“our kinship has strange power ; that, and our life together.”
“do you not fear that more?”
“you are always pitiless, always full of ruthlessness.”
“i have no answer to this.”
“so must i bear, as lightly as i can, the destiny that fate has given me.”
“what am i saying?”
“my enemies can laugh at what i suffer.”
“this is a sickness rooted and inherent in the nature of a tyranny.”
“against these plans none stood save i: i dared.”
“is there no limit set for your pain?”
“i placed in them blind hopes.”
“let me be and have no care for me.”
“you are better at advising others than yourself.”
“his is a heart you should beware of vexing.”
“your own misfortune will be my teacher.”
“kindness that can never be requited, tell me, where is the help in that, my friend?”
“what land is this?”
“say what you are asking for: i will tell you all.”
“will you then grant me this favour?”
“tell me, who are you?”
“some have been wretched before me, but who of these suffered as i do?”
“and what was the offense of which this is the punishment?”
“i beg you, do not hide from me what i must endure.”
“i hesitate to break your spirit.”
“you would be glad to see that catastrophe, i think.”
have you no fear of uttering such words?”
“worship him, pray ; flatter whatever king is king today.”
“your words declare you mad, and mad indeed.”
“you mock me like a child!”
“i have said too much already.”
“i am the one whom he cannot kill.”
“ there were no flowers on the path i’ve taken . ” @loresode ft. rhysand.
she has often found herself wondering about the night court high lord. everything about him seems a contradiction to everything she's known about the fae, and while elain feels highly intimidated by him still, she cannot help but still feel drawn to him with a certain odd curiosity.
feyre trusts him, elain reminds herself often, feyre trusts him and feyre has always known beast from man. her sister may not know this, but elain would often watch feyre, and from the safe distance of her own mind, she would think that her younger sister was very clever. and if clever feyre trusts the high lord, then it must mean he is not as deceiving as he seems to be.
" did you truly choose it, though ... or was it simply thrust upon you? " she glances up at the high fae, eyes leaving the rosebush she tends to, to focus entirely on him, " sometimes, the worst things that happen to us come because we looked for them. most of the time however, they just arrive because that is simply how our life must be, " her voice sounds rather defeated. if her sister nesta copes with the cauldron's trauma by lashing out, elain copes by simply letting the grief swallow her from time to time, " maybe you want to believe you chose it, because it's easier than admitting fate played a cruel joke on you, " you cannot be ambushed by a wolf if you hunt it down first, would say feyre, " then again, i know not of your past, lord rhysand. i apologize for assuming. "
“ when people around me are laughing , i feel like the only one among them who’s lonely . ” @loresode ft. azriel.
" i used to feel the same. "
a quiet murmur is her response, as she focuses on arranging the flowers on the vase ( people might call it silly, but it's the only way elain knows how to cope ). because whenever she thinks only of tending to her flowers, whenever she puts her mind entirely onto that task, the visions just ... dissapear. if only for a moment, if only for a second, and if it's all it takes to keep her mind clear of deaths yet to come, then she will do it.
" i think my sisters used to feel it too, " she adds, the last finishing touches on the flower arrangement she's placed upon a small desk on azriel's chambers. the room is bare, there is barely any furniture -- elain surmises it must be because the spymaster never sleeps, " i remember, there used to be a festival of summer in our village. the wealthier children would buy these caramel-coated apples. nesta said we could not afford them ... we were always starving back then, so spending money on treats seemed silly, " her eyes seem lost in memories, not quite in the terrifying way they will turn white when a vision presents itself, but the glassy surface of her blue gaze gives away clear nostalgia, " sorry, i was caught in my own thoughts. what i meant to say is, that i do understand it. "
she turns to face azriel, and reaches to take one of his hands in hers, " maybe you have yet to find something to truly laugh about. it seems to me you fae are so good at deceiving, that i can never tell if you're really as happy as you look. "
