Shattered Scrying-Glasses

I'm a dumb POS who's mostly on semi-permanent hiatus because Tumblr is frankly toxic. If you're interested in Roma Sub Porta, message me.

[twobrokenmirrors]

To all it may concern

The likelihood of me returning full-time to this blog, which was already pretty damn low, has now become basically nonexistent because of personal circumstances. All those who care have my skype and/or email, I believe. Don’t hold your breath for updates here. Everything is fucking going to shit and I’m tired.

[twobrokenmirrors]

On Guard

Oh yeah, I wrote this a little while ago for a new friend of mine who liked Gnaeus and Spurius, and I might as well put it here for the sake of having everything RSP in the same place.

Under the cut even though it’s relatively short.

The stars overhead winked brightly in their carpet of blackness as though they had secrets they were refusing to tell, and at that moment Gnaeus felt as though this was some kind of personal insult. Perhaps he should have listened a bit more to Lucius’ ramblings on the subject, he thought morosely, watching Spurius lean over the rampart and direct that sharp, enquiring stare out into the darkness of the German countryside. Then maybe he would have had someone to back him up. “There is nothing out there, Gnaeus.” “There is, though,” Gnaeus said, his tone split more or less equally between concern and petulance. “Out in the edge of th’ trees, Spurius. Somethin’ is movin’.” “I cannot see this something, Gnaeus. At all. Are you certain you are not merely imagining things?” “Fuck off, ‘mnot imaginin’. This could be important.” Spurius tilted his head slightly and lifted an eyebrow, and Gnaeus’ scowl deepened exponentially. “An’ y’can fuck off with that look, too.” Shrugging, Spurius drew himself up and moved away from his viewpoint, gesturing for Gnaeus to take his place. “If you are so convinced that your creeping intruder is a solid fact, point me to him.” “Fine,” Gnaeus grumbled, stepping up with as much dignity as he could muster and squinting into the blackness. “’Cos if I’m right an’ it’s a German, I ain’t gonna defend your ass if you talk me inta droppin’ it and then we get overrun.” He could feel Spurius rolling his eyes behind him, and set his shoulders against it with the firmness of a man who was reasonably certain he had the moral high ground. After all, he was definitely right. There had been movement. There did not appear to be any just that minute, however. Which was unfortunate. “If you lean out much further over the parapet, you will fall straight down,” came Spurius’ dry tones from behind him. “And I am not going to try and catch you.” “Bollocks,” Gnaeus mumbled, retreating somewhat from imminent overbalance and rubbing at one eye. Spurius touched his arm. “It was probably a deer, Gnaeus. Worrying about it unduly is not going to help.” “Mebbe you’re right. But I can’t- look! There!” His arm shot out so fast it nearly jabbed Spurius in the face, finger levelled accusingly at a section of undergrowth that was definitely, unmistakeably, without a doubt moving. Spurius narrowed his eyes. “…Well then,” he said softly. “Perhaps there was an element of fact in your speculation…” “Damn straight,” rasped Gnaeus, returning to his prior precarious position, face and body intent as a hunting dog. “There’s somethin’ there- more than one somethin’, look!” The movement in the bushes had grown more pronounced. Whatever it was was getting closer, and it appeared to be making a direct line through the trees towards the open ground surrounding the fort. “We better be ready,” said Gnaeus, voice as quiet as it ever got. “Just in case.” Spurius nodded; both men tensed, hands reaching almost in unison for the javelins leant against the wall nearby. The atmosphere stretched and thickened as the commotion near the treeline grew closer. And then, quick enough to take them by surprise, out leapt- A doe, with a stag quick on her heels. The two sentries watched in blank silence as nature took its course in front of them, culminating with both animals disappearing back into the woods as quickly as they had emerged. Gnaeus let out an explosive breath; Spurius blinked very slowly. “Well,” he said. “I was correct. It was indeed a deer.” Gnaeus looked at him, then tilted back his head and let out a loud, genuinely amused bark of laughter before abruptly leaning over and pulling Spurius into as tight a hug as he could manage with both of them armoured. Spurius let out a small choking noise, but did not object. “You b’lieved it was a German for a minute’r two, don’t you even say else!” “Better safe than sorry,” said Spurius, with such dignity that Gnaeus dissolved into further fits of amusement, and missed the smile creeping its way across Spurius’ own expression. He did not, however, miss the blush that materialised when he nudged his nose between Spurius’ face and the cheek-guard of his helmet and whispered, “Wanna go copy the deer when we get back?”

I get the point they want to make, but I don’t find it convincing, because ultimately I think that hate really is the same thing under the hood. Yes, it’s totally true that a little scrape isn’t as significant a wound as something more severe, but if you persistently refuse to even consider treating scrapes on the grounds that they’re not really severe wounds, sooner or later one of them’s gonna get infected…

You are all kinds of amazingly creative, holy balls. Gonna read your whole archive and be nosy and ask if you can think of anything for my OC Rogue of Time and her Land of Icecream and Clockfaces? She uses poison-knifekind if it makes any difference and has a messed-up relationship with her 'dad' (she accidentally prototyped his corpse prior to entry, too). Human.

You are the Rogue of Time, hero of the Land of Ice Cream and Clockfaces.

I admit this one was kid of hard to do, because I had no ideas for it. I hope you like it though.

LOICAC is, perhaps predictably, a frozen planet. It’s almost made entirely out of ice cream and ice cream toppings, but maybe that part was obvious. It’s core is a giant ball of dark chocolate, with layers of molten butterscotch and underground seas of melted strawberry and erupt out of sugarcone-volcanoes.

It’s cold enough that most of the ground and building materials are frozen so solid they can bear your weight and the surface rivers of various toppings generally move to fast to freeze.

Everything is edible, that’s what I’m getting at here. All in all you could have done worse for a planet. You know, other than the DOOM CLOCK.

Yes, the Doom Clock. The Doom Clock is not your Scratch Implement, but it might as well be. According to your consorts, if the clock every counts down to zero, an ancient monster will awaken and devour Skaia. How true this fable is is extremely debatable, but that hasn’t stopped them from hooking any other clock they can find up to the Doom Clock to siphon more time into it. A fact that had left the rest of your planet quite devoid of time pieces.

Lacking any other alternatives, your consorts have come up with a daring plan to travel to Derse and steal the Samablack, a magnificent clock tower commissioned in honor of the Black Queen. Yes, they want to steal an entire clock tower, and they need your help.

THIS IS AWESOME thank you SO MUCH AAAHHH and I’m sorry it was sorta bizarre as a land, heh, the ice-cream part was kind of a joke on the character’s habit of being usually an extremely healthy eater but binging on ice-cream every time she needs comfort or has lost any fucks to give.

But you totally made something pretty appropriate! Since her job in the universe she comes from (the Sburb AU is an AU to an OC universe) is a time-cop, protecting the timeline so the universe doesn’t go wonky. And also she doesn’t suffer assholes gladly, so she’d be quite happy to dick over the Black Queen. ‘Specially if the prototyping chain had led the Black Queen to look anything like her ‘dad’.

It’s actually also pretty appropriate that the Black Queen would have specifically a clock-tower built in her honour, since the aforementioned ‘dad’ was also a time-cop...

Wow I love this a lot and may have to rp it out with the boyfriend

Open question to all seebs anons and anons in general: does anyone else worry about their typing style/quirk being recognisable when sending in anons? Or have I just read far too much homestuck and started picking up on my own?

I don’t pay that close attention usually, although I do recognize some people, I suspect.

[twobrokenmirrors]

Aaaaaaaaall the time. Yup. No idea if it is or not. I suspect not. Though my dissertation supervisor said I had a distinct voice in his comments when he marked it. An ‘ironically detached’ one. I like that descriptor.

A couple of OCs that the bb and I came up with when I was in London. You can come up with some incredible things from slicked back hair and joking gangster voices in the shower. Feel free to ask about them. Nico’s a daft kid with too much in his head and Jayden’s a stone cold shapeshifting badass, truly a master of their art.

I’m having trouble trusting myself. Most of the time I pretend to people, acting interested and putting on a front, and am great at making up coherent storied about who I am and what I want. To the point where I have no idea what is real and how much I am just lying to myself, about stuff like maybe being autistic, instead of just plain lazy. Or being overconfident, when in fact I did not prove myself a lot. Or about liking things/people. How do I know what’s real and what’s self fiction?

I don’t know, I’ve never been clear on that myself! One thing might be to investigate whether you have some kind of thing fucking with your sense of self. I would say that so far I have never met anyone that I thought was “pretending to be autistic”. Well, maybe one. On tumblr. So I’m not even sure it counts.

I think ultimately, “liking things” is a thing you can sort of check by just whether or not they seem to actually make you happy or whatever. But if you’re dealing with something that makes you feel compelled to pretend to like things to get along with people, it can be really hard. Mostly… Deep breaths, and patience, and recognizing that none of us fully understand ourselves, really. So it’s not as though everyone else knows and you’re the only one who can’t tell. Heck, I’m 42, I’ve been married 20 years (to the same person!), I spend a ton of my time talking about sexuality and gender, and if I absolutely had to tell you what my gender identity or sexual orientation were, I’d have to guess, because I don’t really know.

[twobrokenmirrors]

Hi anon, are you actually me? On the offchance you aren’t, you should probably know you’re not alone, and that not knowing what you really are or really want or really like is most definitely unpleasant, scary and kind of fucking annoying.

Sadly I don’t really have any advice except maybe for making a conscious effort not to second-guess things? Easier said than done.

[the-real-seebs]

WRT rape jokes in Pterry- the one I saw, and I don't think it was even on Tumblr (it may even have been before I was ON tumblr, I can't actually remember, it was definitely years ago) was harshly criticising a throwaway line in... I think Feet of Clay when a golem has been on a rampage and there's mention made of a poor lad who got an apple shoved 'where the sun don't shine'.

That really doesn’t strike me as a “rape joke”, although it certainly could be in different contexts.

[twobrokenmirrors]

It was long enough ago that I don't remember the exact wording of the criticism (and will probably not ever be able to find it again) but they were definitely treating it as one and being very Disapproving And Disappointed. I remember this because it sent me into a spiral of 'holy shit I like terry pratchett and I don't see anything especially wrong with that joke am i a terrible person? i'm a terrible person aren't i'.

Side effects of being a werewolf

Greater enthusiasm for rimming

[twobrokenmirrors]

Dear all of you who might be wondering what exactly my status is on here:

I'm not catching up with my dash, but I check activity often enough that sending me a message might well get results, and I am occasionally posting my creative efforts. So I'm basically still on hiatus, this is just still a good place to put things sometimes.

[twobrokenmirrors]

I'm doing myths again! Icarus this time.

Once again NOT WRITTEN BY ME written by TEASHOESANDHAIR.TUMBLR.COM.

Man, I don't know how they'd take the bit where one of our angels gets eaten by a monster in the deep woods and has to regenerate from the biggest piece of what was left over (that's how angelic immortality works, much like Wolverine) and then finds that her body had regenerated based on original blueprints rather than the previously surgically altered blueprints. Which frustrates her a bit. As does the fact that it took like fifty years to regen properly.

Man, fifty years to build it, and you can’t even keep up with the patch notes? Yeah, that’d be frustrating.

[kuzetsa]

the metaphor here, nice. patch notes, hehe,

is it ok if I ask what character or universe it’s a reference to?

[twobrokenmirrors]

I’m afraid it’s the universe me and my boyfriend built over the past two years through various chat clients rather than anything ‘official’. ;P That being said, you can find some stuff about it on both our blogs (his is DayDreamDecoder, there’s a link in my sidebar) under the ‘angelverse’ tag (though not I think all of it), and we will both talk about it ad nauseam if you give us the slightest chance.

Be warned if you are still curious: it’s a huge sprawling thing and bears no small resemblance to a very strange soap opera.

[kuzetsa]

hehe, cool. I don’t think I’ll get very deep into it though. no time these days for hardly even tweet-length reading / writing **sigh**

I know that feeling. xP Though not very much of it is actually prose at this point and not much of that prose is on tumblr. Mostly it's things like character memes.
