Week 50 - March 10th, 2024 'Hold On Loosely' - 38 Special Spotify / YouTube

If you recognize this one then you aren’t crazy, because this is pulled from a photo shoot of Ewan McGregor where he was absolutely young and without a care. Perfect padawan Obi-Wan material.

Enjoy!

Week 50 and 51 sips!

You can reblog this post and do em all now, save 'em and find 'em as you have the energy/time, or just use it as a heads up for what's comin'.

Up to you!

All I ask is that you use the #sipofsnips tag so people can find each other's snips and get excited about writing.

--

Welcome to a very special edition of Sip of Snips!

Wherein we have two weeks in a row of words posted at once. You are encouraged to use these words as prompts to write something new, no matter what it is. Poetry, flash fiction, a drabble, whatever you wish to do to answer the holiday poets.

Mari Lwyd has come seeking spirits for the holidays, and to warm herself by your hearth--she's willing to sing for the privilege.

She's said her starting line already. Now it's your turn.

--

Below the cut you will find the 'Cân y Fari Lwyd', or 'The Mari Lwyd Song', in case you wish to know it. Though only the outside part. You can deal with her on your own once she's inside.

Cân y Fari Lwyd

(Oddi allan) Wel dyma ni'n dwad Gyfeillion diniwad I ofyn am gennad i ganu.

Os na chawn ni gennad, Cewch glywed ar ganiad Beth fydd ein dymuniad - nos heno.

Agorwch y dryse, Mae'r rhew wrth ein sodle, Mae'r rhew wrth ein sodle - nos heno.

Os oes gennych atebion, Wel, dewch a nhw'n union I ateb prydyddion y gwylie.

(Ateb oddi mewn) O, cerwch ar gered, Mae'ch ffordd yn agored, Mae'r ffordd yn agored - nos heno.

(Oddi allan) Nid ewn ni ar gered Heb dorri ein syched, Heb dorri ein syched - nos heno.

(Oddi mewn) Mae ffynnon yn tarddu Ym mhistyll y Beili, Trwy ffafwr cewch lymed i brofi.

(Oddi allan) Nid yfwn o'r ffynnon I oeri ein calon I fagu clefydon - y gwylie.

(Oddi mewn) Rhowch glywad, wyr doethion, Pa faint y'ch o ddynion A beth yn wych union, (x3) yw'ch enwau.

(Oddi allan) Rhyw bump o wyr hawddgar, Rhai gorau y ddaear Yn canu mewn gwir air (x3) am gwrw.

(Oddi mewn) Os llymaid bach melys A geisiwch dros wefus Dewch atom yn hwylus (x3) i'r aelwyd.

The Mari Lwyd song

(From outside) Well, here we come Innocent friends To ask may we have leave to sing.

If we don’t have leave, You can listen to the song that tells of our leaving - tonight.

Open the doors, There’s ice under our heels, There’s ice under our heels - tonight.

If you have answers, Well, bring them exactly To answer the holidays poets.

(Answer from inside) Oh, go walk, Your way is open, Your way is open - tonight.

(From outside) We won’t walk away Without breaking our thirst, Without breaking our thirst - tonight.

(From inside) The fountain originates In the Bailey’s spring, As a favour have a drink to taste.

(From outside) We won’t drink from a fountain To colden our hearts To breed fever - [of] the holiday.

(From inside) Listen, wise men, What size is your party (of men) And what exactly is great, (x3) are your names.

(From outside) Some five pleasant men, Some of the best on Earth Singing true words (x3) for beer.

(From inside) If there’s a small sweet swig [of beer] That you can try on your lips Come to us in good spirits (x3) to the hearth.

Whitty: Why do you act like we’re three-year-olds?

Hex, exasperated: WHY?!?

Hex points at Cyrix: YOU TRIED TO HIJACK A CAR!

Hex points at Static: YOU NEARLY JUMPED 20 FEET OFF A CARPARK!

Hex points at Whitty: AND YOU ATE MULTIPLE DRIED LEAVES AND ROCKS OFF THE GROUND!

Hex: AND YOU ASK ME WHY????

here's the 51st installment for this week's @galladrabbles prompt: "eins sein" by wilhelmine, specifically the lyrics: i want to be so close to you / i want to kiss you more / you're driving me crazy by our sweet mods, @energievie & @look-i-love-u

catch up/read in full HERE -- updates weekly! [ read scenes one & two in their entirety ON AO3 ]

They eat, unable to take their eyes off of each other for more than a moment. They throw jokes back and forth, barbs that nip, but don’t sting. Eyebrows dance. Lips quirk. Grins match. All wordlessly confessing, I want to be so close to you. I want to kiss you more.

“These are the best fucking tacos,” Ian praises, sauce dripping from his chin.

“Don’t tell anyone,” Mickey says, tossing him a napkin. “Can’t be waitin’ in line all day.”

“C’mon, you’ve clearly got an in.”

He shrugs. “What can I say? I’m lovable.”

It’s enough to drive Ian crazy.

Happy holidays @sivvan!!! I hope you have a fantastic holiday and a great new year! I wanted to combine your favorite drama with a SVT lyric! I didn't plan on it being DK's verse but love how that worked out. I hope you like this!
