[ ID 1: Twitter thread by Kayla Ancrum ✨ @/KaylaAncrum, and Cyberpunk Plato, @/CyberpunkP(cuts off), started on January 20, 2024, which reads:

1) @/KaylaAncrum: Man who falls in love with a sphynx and solves her riddles daily, in spite of the threat to his life.

The boon he requests every night is to sleep by her side in the warm sand and wake up safe. As he grows old, then forgetful, she reconfigures her riddles to accept any answer.

2) @/KaylaAncrum: Idk I just think it would be neat. Nice Ace love story.

I just think the parallel of him working hard and studying to be able to solve her riddles in his youth, While she struggles to think up riddles he couldn't possibly lose in his final years, is romantic.

3) @/KaylaAncrum: Sad ending. I think he would die in his sleep beside her and she would eat him in a very Where The Wild Things Are “I'll eat you up I love you so" Way.

Keep his bones, bleached white in the sun. Wear them maybe. The only man who mattered.

4) @/KaylaAncrum: There has to be a night, where he finally gets one wrong. Where he's already made his bed and lay his grey head down, eyes closed. After he answers, her lion ears prick up and she thinks

"Ah. This is the beginning of the end."

And thinks hard all night until his answer is right

5) @/KaylaAncrum: I also kind of like the idea that other people still come and challenge her riddles and fail and she eats them while he just stands there, petting her shoulder, while they beg for their lives.

Monster (literal)/ Monster (figurative) Romance.

6) @/CyberpunkP(cuts off): Could do a kind of tragic parallel with real world dementia patients as the last and hardest riddles are

"Do you remember what day it is?"

"What is your name?"

"Are you awake?"

[ ID 2: Digital, semi realistic artwork of a Sphinx (a creature with a lion's body, human woman's head and wings) climbing downwards while reaching her paw down to a tiny, frail human figure resting on the ground, with signs of aging. The sphinx looks upset. Text around her body, going down with her, reads:

"A riddle once more given

To delight your addled thoughts

And usher forth the quiet night

In which your head lay naught

Upon the cooling stone

Nor shrubs and brittle reed

But upon the soft sands shifting

To lay quiet at my feet"

"It creeps out from mine lovely mouth

And travels down mine tail

A boon upon thine body

Upon thine mind so frail

To land within your open palms

Held aloft in desperate want

Bring recognition to your face

Now so pale and gaunt"

"Please, now do remember

All the days of which we've passed

Side by side, amongst the sands

And the love that we've amassed

Let this riddle now remind you

Of your cunning and your guile

The softness you once found

Within the sharpness of my smile"

"A riddle that to some

May seem nothing but a ploy

For they know nothing of my love

For they know nothing of my joy

To others, may seem simple,

Naught but a silly game

But dear one, please do tell me"

"What is your name?"

I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.

[elsajeni]

An occupational hazard of cab driving I had not previously considered

[princessnijireiki]

I love that the nola problem here is not “ghosts in my taxi cab,” but “ghosts are FUCKING BROKE DEAD BASTARDS & I GOT BILLS”

[siderealsandman]

Horror is when ghosts get into cabs and scare drivers Magical realism is when cab companies have to develop policies to prevent ghastly fare-theft

[kc749]

In a book about the tsunami in Japan in 2011, the writer talked about how there was a huge increase in reports of ghostly activity. Apparently in Japan treating ghosts rudely is basically considered the stupidest thing you could possibly do. For months after the tsunami, taxi drivers would pick up a passenger only to have them give an address in one of the devastated areas. The cab driver often looked up halfway to the destination to find their fare had disappeared. Not wanting to be impolite to the person (even if they were dead) they’d drive to the address, open the door to let them out, then drive away.

Until one day he'd been standing with James and Peter, in the hallway. James had said something, Sirius can't even remember what. But he'd laughed. One of those big laughs. The type that fills your belly. That makes you cry. And when he'd looked up, he'd found Remus's eyes on him.

*Oh.*

That was something.

That was world altering.

The atoms in his body rearranged themselves under Remus's eyes. They needed. Needed. Needed him.

He'd asked Remus, several years later, what had made him look, since it couldn't have been the noise. And he'd only shrugged and said:

"Your laugh is so bright. It's impossible not to notice it. Like not noticing the sun is in the sky."

One advantage of not really having a strong sense of gender identity is that you’re very [shrug emoji] about how people gender you. Sometimes people call me by she/her pronouns and sometimes they go with he/him pronouns and on the internet people often default to they/them, and neither option is entirely right but also, fuck if I know what would be right, and I don’t particularly care. Therefore I’m perfectly happy to outsource my gender identity to the people around me who actually need to figure out which box to put me in. I don’t need to talk about myself in third person, so really my pronouns sound like a you problem.

[faustandfurious]

My pronouns are I/me and the rest is for someone else to deal with because I have better things to do.

[faustandfurious]

Very fond of macrolabels, like “queer”, that provide zero extra information. Is it genderqueer? Is it romantic/sexual orientation queer? Is it queer as in “none of your fucking business what’s in my pants and what I do with it and with whom”?

[randomslasher]

This is actually probably the first time I’ve ever read something that accurately describes my relationship with gender--ie, ‘my gender is me and my pronouns are a you problem’--so thank you for that!

[ober-affen-geil]

#you cannot gender me in a way that matters

[scruffylookingpiratecaptain]

I think people have truly lost any ability to be patient with storytelling.

‘I don’t understand this’ They’ll explain it if you wait.

‘I don’t like how this episode left things hanging’ There’s a continuation next week.

‘This character is flat’ Wait for them to be fleshed out.

So many of the complaints I see about shows lately are people being confused by things THAT THE SHOW WANTS YOU TO BE CONFUSED BY THATS THE FUN OF MYSTERY AND FORESHADOWING YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLINS THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALSO CONFUSED AND THEYRE GONNA DO A BIG REVEAL AND EXPLANATION LATER IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING WAIT

No, I don't want a light sprinkle of angst, I want an emotional hurricane. I want the type of angst that shakes the very foundation of my being, the kind that makes my heart ache so deeply, I'm not sure I'll ever recover. I want it to tear me apart and put me back together, over and over again, until I feel like I've aged a lifetime in just one conversation. Bring on the pain, the tears, the gut-wrenching, soul-crushing angst.
