[fillory-and-furtherr]

I don’t know how to explain to normal people that I have consumed these nine (9) very old obscure sci fi books in the last 2.5 weeks and they’re part of a full series that still has SEVERAL more books. I am feral.

is it morally ok to embezzle your brothers trust fund if it’s for a good cause and he’s not going to use it until I’m long dead yes or no

I’m trying to stay calm, but Aramis Knight and Hailee Steinfeld are both in the MCU now, and it’s taking everything in me not to start cooking up Enders Game AU’s

The story did not start at the beginning, mostly because it was not certain it had an ending. This might seem confusing but it was really just confusling which isn’t the same thing all the time. The story was bracketed by shadows on one side and false surprises on another. This made no sense to the story, but all the sense to the writer.

Once upon a Jay there was a boy named Jay who decided to write a very sneaky novel for a Cruxymox-Anjo Emporium which was totally a word of power and not a place at all! Only he was every busy with many adventures so he made time - without making time, which is an oops that Time gets very cross-face over - by only doing one sleeping a night instead of two.

This proves very easy for Jay, who didn’t even need caffeine or feel tired. (This led to another story, which is a tale for another time as well.) Jay began to write the novel and was very jaysome at it!!

Jaysome is like being awesomesauceamazing but! even more!!! and a little jaysome goes a long way and Jay decided to write the novel fast and learned about automatic writing! And that was really good because a Jay had to visit a lot of pumpkins who were worried and make sure that the Great Pumpkin didn’t eat all humanity.

It might have been then, but it’s hard to be certain: a story both Anjo and Cruxy can get pretty tangled in bindings and the Emporium became an Exportarium as the Jay returned to find out that the novel had run away.

“Uhm,” Jay said. There was a hole in the world where the novel had been. It was a pretty big hole, and Jay was rather proud about the size of the novel.

He whistled for the novel.

He gave scritches to a jabberwock.

He whistled for the novel.

A dozen dinosaurs wanted to play games.

Jay played with them and was going to whistle a third time when! a voice coughed behind him.

“Hi, Honcho!”

“Hello,” said the wandering magician, and: “If you whistle a third time, we will have dragons. Which would be an oops.”

Jay sighed. The sigh was very hugey.

“What are you trying to find?”

“I maybe lost an adventure but! I’m finding it again!” And Jay vanished in the way of a Jay, which is to say like nothing else at all. He did several trips because Honcho was Honcho and stopped for a rest on Pluto.

Jay scratched his head and thought. He couldn’t hide from Honcho: Honcho would be wherever Jay ended up. But Charlie would follow and Charlie was scary.

“Adventures don’t normally hide from a Jay!”

Which is when the shadows moved. Hiding inside the story. An appendix torn free. Not an index, the Shadow to cruxymox. It moved through shadows, beholden to none.

Jay blinked. “You bit me!”

He was tough like a Jay.

Bitten.

And he smiled. Still eleven, but the smile was not the Jay others new.

HURT YOU, the Shadow did not say. AS I AM FICTION, SO ARE YOU.

“I know. Yes, and yes. But I decided the piece you took.” And Jay gestures.

The shadow screams like only an angel can.

And breaks, as only angels do.

“Where is the book?” Jay asked, and tricks danced in the depths of (c)old eyes.

The shadow whimpers, and does the only thing

a story can

breaks tenses // and ends

concerning my earlier enderverse meme

there’s a part two. I spent a half an hour making this. I am so sorry 

—

It’s like there’s a Belgian loose from the asylum. I think eventually everything’s going to be okay, but I have no idea what’s going to happen next. And neither do any of you, and neither do my parents, because there’s a Belgian that’s gotten out of the asylum and is running amok causing international incidents and orchestrating kidnappings. It’s never happened before, no one knows what he's going to do next, and I don’t think he does either. He’s never had power like this before, he’s as confused as you are and even more sadistic to boot. There’s no experts. They try to find experts on the news. They’re like, “We’re joined now by a man that once met an escaped criminal.” Get out of here with that shit! Everyone’s dealt with escaped criminals. This is a psychopath causing war and terrorism.

When stuff like this is happening, you got to stay updated. So all day long you walk around, “What’s he going to do next?” The updates, they’re not always bad. Sometimes they’re just odd. It’ll be like, “People are stacking stones in India? I didn’t know that was a federal crime.” The creepiest days are when you don’t hear anything at all. You’re down in the operating room like, “Hey, has anyone…Has anyone heard anything about that crazy guy?” Those are those quiet days when people are like, “It looks like he’s finally calmed down.” And then ten seconds later he’s like, “I’m gonna kidnap a bunch of very important battle school kids and assassinate some random ex-military fourteen-year-old in Greece. I’ve got a very nice gun and I’m ready and willing to commit homicide!” That’s what I thought you’d say, you creepy fucking asshole.

And then… then… then you go to brunch with people and they’re like, “The IF and national governments should have done something.” And it’s like, “We’re well past that.” Then other people are like, “If there’s gonna be a Belgian trying to take over the Hegemony, I’m going to start a land war in Asia.” And those don’t match up at all. And then, for a second, it seemed like maybe we could survive this fiasco, and then, 5,000 miles away, this kid everyone thought was dead was like, “I’m going to capture and execute you and make you suffer for all the people you’ve killed, now give me my fucking girlfriend back.” And before anyone could get this under control, the Belgian was like, “If you even fucking try and capture me, I’m going to shoot all of these hostages I’ve collected. I dare you to do it. I want you to do it. I want you to do it so I can blow em all up, I’m so fucking crazy.” “You think you’re fucking crazy, I’m a fucking giant. I serve in the Thai army and I was second-in-command to Ender Wiggin. I’m fucking crazy.” And all of us are like, “Okay???”
