I have spent my life in the shadow of this great and winding river. I have always dwelt in the shadow of my god.

from the Maya Angelou quote which immediately make me think of MBD the first time i saw it👍

[deermouth]

Let Me Speak First Of Revelations And Next Of Dark Deceit Then I'll Speak Of Champions Of Lovers, Gods, And Beasts My Song Is Long And Twisted It Worms, It Winds, It Wends It Carries Few, It Drowns Many And Those I Love, It Rends My Song Has Taken Hold Of Me It Grips My Tongue, My Throat My Voice Cries Truths I Never Knew And To Fight Is Just To Choke So Let Me Dwell Eternal And In Ruined Flesh Ascend For My Song Has No Beginning... And The Current Flows On Without End If I Could Trace With Bloodless Fingers If My Hands Could Shape The Flow I'd Bear This Song To The Precipice And Rend Us Both To Dust Below We'd Both Go Plunging Downwards One Final Fall From Grace I'd Howl, I'd Scream In Victory And We'd Be Gone Without A Trace But We'll Never Be Rid Of Each Other My Song, My Sorrow and I So I'll Bear It Trembling Onwards To Drift On, To Dream, To Die And Where My Final Footsteps Fall Something Dreadful Shall Arise Its Gaze Shall Fall O'er Trembling Plains Its Wrath Shall Scald The Sun And Where Its Howling Forebears Walked Some Day There Shall Be None The Wise Man Knows The Taste Of Rot All Lovers Part As Dust And Even The Kings In Their Bowers Of Steel Shall Wither In Ruin And Rust This Rotten World Shall Wheeze Its Last This Hateful Hymn Shall Cease But As My Last Breath Splits My Throat I'll Wheeze Through Splintered Teeth One Last Song Of Revelations Of Prophets' Dark Deceptions Of Love, And Gods' Defeat Of Love, And Gods' Defeat

The Silt Verses (2021-2024), chapter titles

God I miss season 1.

[linecoveredinjellyfish]

when i picture carpenter silt verses i am picturing a woman in her late 40s with the same physique as jason voorhees and hair that she's been washing with motel bar soap since she was 18 btw. this woman looks like if a long haul trucker occasionally had to perform ritual self-flagellation. like if a man with a single bottle of dawn dishsoap in his shower was a middle-aged woman who feared neither pain nor death. we're talking dry skin, resting bitch face, and something of the classic slasher villain in her sheer size and resilience. someone who could break an ankle and still not stop trying to kill you with an ax, genuinely frightening.

i believe in scary, gruff, aging women's rights.

Faulker and Carpenter teehee :D

I just finished the last ep and it was awesome I loved it so much ^^

[pandabomb]

I absolutely adore faulkner but I spent a good chunk of my time listening to the silt verses wishing that carpenter could really just let him have it. and I don't mean like a scolding or a wack here and there. I think she should've whooped the absolute shit out of that boy. put a new kind of fear of god in him

"To become a Katabasian is to shed skin and soul, to drown, and in drowning, be born anew!

Do you accept this offering from the depths?"

alts under the cut

I truly couldn't decide between the versions, so you get them all. I would like to thank Jon Ware, Muna Hussen and B. Narr for giving me insomnia

[ID: A digital drawing of Brother Faulkner from the Silt Verses podcast. He kneels in a shallow part of a pool of glowing, green water under the Grand Aquifer, straddling Sibling Rane, who lies limply at the bottom with their face right under the surface, visible where Faulkner's reflection would be. Faulkner's face is upturned, with the water surface reflecting off his skin. He is wearing an expression of exaltation morphing into dread and staring into the distance. On the first picture, his head is surrounded by a halo. On the second, by the Withermark. He is alone. End ID]
