Read in 2019: Three Tales, by Gustave Flaubert

"Having no intercourse with anyone, she lived in the torpid state of a sleep-walker." (From A simple heart)

[prayersfromlilacveins]

She found it difficult, however, to imagine what the Holy Ghost looked like, for it was not just a bird but a fire as well, and sometimes a breath. She wondered whether that was its light she had not seen flitting about the edge of the marshes at night, whether that was its breath she had felt driving the clouds across the sky, whether that was its voice she had heard in the sweet music of the bells. And she sat in silent adoration, delighting in the coolness of walls and the quiet of the church.

Gustave Flaubert, “A Simple Heart”

[prayersfromlilacveins]

The sowing of the seed, the reaping of the harvest, the pressing of the grapes — all those familiar things of which the Gospels speak had a place in her life. God had sanctified them in passing, so that she loved the lambs more tenderly for the love of the Lamb of God, and the doves for the sake of the Holy Ghost.

Gustave Flaubert, “A Simple Heart”

WoL vs Slay the Princess

Seeing as the only two games I play are XIV and StP when a question show up...

Narrator: You are on a path on the woods. At the end of the path is a cabin. And in the cabin is a princess. You are here to slay her.

Mneme: -sigh- Guess I'm needed for someone else's bullshit again.

Narrator: Again? Who are you? You shouldn't be aware of this. How many times have you been here?

Mneme: How many...? This is the first time. I went to bed after saving the fucking universe from the avatar of despair and I wake up here. But I need to ask... Will you leave me alone forever if I kill this princess?

Narrator: Uh... yes? I mean, given everything, I have reason to lock you in here afterwards but...

Mneme: I know I know. As long as you leave me alone afterwards and just let me sleep and enjoy myself.

Narrator: I'm still confused about saving the universe from a... wait... I...

Mneme: Are you Meteion?

Narrator: No. But I think I met this being. Many many years ago.

Mneme: And you want me to kill this princess to end the aftereffects. Got it. Hope your world has a better sgovernmental system than monarchy, cuz fuck monarchy.

Narrator: That's the spirit!

And then Mneme kills the princess good ending style and goes to sleep forever in the Long Quiet, happy their duties are finally done.

Narrator: You are on a path on the woods. At the end of the path is a cabin. And in the cabin is a princess. You are here to slay her.

Lin: Princess? Must kiss princess!

Voice of the Lost: Of course you'd say that.

Voice of the Hunter: Let's kiss!

Voice of the Princess: YES! KISS OTHER PRINCESS!

Voice of the Traveller: I'm here for this.

Voice of the Traitor: I'm... a bit confused as to the gung-ho-ness of all of them doing it, but it's just us and hero left of the awake voices who haven't voiced it, and I don't think Hero minds too much that they're all on the same page.

Narrator: Why are there so many of you? Why do you sound feminine? How many times have you been here? Why is there a goddamn voice of the Princess?

Lin: Can't talk, on my way to kiss a princess!

Voice of the Princess: Cuz I'm a princess, duh? I have a catboy husband as does Lin, but like I'm gonna stop her from kissing princesses if she wants to do that.

Narrator: But the end of the world...

Lin: Been there done that. Kissing girls now.

Voice of the Hunter: You'd kiss boys too.

Lin: Yes, and? Kissing is important!

Narrator: I'll lock you in the cabin! All of you!

Voice of the Traveller: Yeah... good luck with that. Narrative Causality has no power over us. Especially me.

Narrator: -Stuck trying to fight with multiple voices (Hero and Traitor eventually just chill and like it, while Lost screams about shitty governmental systems and where the fuck did their fucking name go? Where did everyone's name go? HEEEEELP!)-

Narrator: You are on a path on the--

Teri: -Teleports out of the construct-

“She found it hard, however, to think of the latter as a person, for was it not a bird, a flame, and sometimes only a breath? Perhaps it is its light that at night hovers over swamps, its breath that propels the clouds, its voice that renders church-bells harmonious.”
