DEATHLESS.

the following prompts were taken from the novel deathless by catherynne m. valente, an american novelist & poet. the novel was loosely based on the tale of koschei the deathless, incorporating other elements of russian mythology, & setting it against the backdrop of the russian revolution. feel free to change the pronouns / prompts as you see fit, but be warned – below the cut, it’s quite long !

❛ the service of your body is not yours to give as you please. ❜

❛ you probably won’t survive. ❜

❛ go. run. don’t look behind you. ❜

❛ i have come for the girl in the window. ❜

❛ i will never be without information. ❜

❛ i will see him with his skin off before i fall in love. ❜

❛ if the world is divided into seeing & not seeing, i will always choose to see. ❜

❛ secrets are jealous things, permitting no fraternization. ❜

❛ no, it’s not like that, when magic comes. ❜

❛ magic does that. it wastes you away. once it grips you by the ear, the world gets quieter & quieter until you can hardly hear it at all. ❜

❛ the sight of it bruised my heart so that i cannot think about anything else. ❜

❛ i’ll be so quiet, i’ll never talk again. ❜

❛ keep me & obey me, for i am your husband, & i can destroy you. ❜

❛ i shall be clever, & i shall not let him go. ❜

❛ it is a new world, & we do not wish to be left behind. ❜

La Mode nationale, no. 43, 29 octobre 1898, Paris. Notre patron découpé )Grandeur naturelle). Grand collet d'automne. Bibliothèque nationale de France

Ce manteau est très ajusté derrière et collant sur les bras; il est garni de deux volants. Col à godets et revers garnissant le milieu du devant.

Ce collet se fait en drap uni doublé de satin ou taffetas clair, blanc de préférence; bandes piquées couvrant la monture des volants.

Il se compose de 7 morceaux:

No. 1. — Collet avec couture cintrée au milieu du dos, un pointillé marque la monture du premier volant, les pinces se raccordent par G et D, un cran marque la taille.

No. 2. — 1er volant; 1re partie. Il se taille droit fil au milieu du dos et se rapporte au collet par EG.

No. 3. — 1er volant; 2e partie. Se raccorde à la première partie par G et au collet par GF.

No. 4. — 2e volant; 1re partie. Se taille également droit fil au milieu du dos; se raccorde au collet par HK.

No. 5. — 2e volant; 2e partie. Se raccorde à la première partie par K et au collet par KIJ.

Ces deux volants sont donnés en deux parties séparées, chacune dans le but d'économiser le tissu; les personnes désirant ne pas avoir de couture sur les côtés peuvent les tailler d'une seule pièce en les réunissant par les crans et en les posant sur le tissu dans le même sens qu ils sont sur le dessin.

No. 6. — Revers; se raccorde à l'encolure du collet à A et à l'extrémité du premier volant à E.

No. 7. — Col à godets avec couture au mileu du dos; il se raccorde au collet par AB.

Métrage: 3m,70 de drap en 120.

This coat is very fitted behind and clingy on the arms; it is garnished with two ruffles. Bucket collar and lapels trimming the center front.

This collar is made of plain cloth lined with satin or light taffeta, preferably white; stitched bands covering the steering wheel frame.

It consists of 7 pieces:

No. 1. — Collar with arched seam in the middle of the back, a dotted line marks the setting of the first ruffle, the darts connect at L and R, a notch marks the waist.

No. 2. — 1st ruffle; Part 1. It is cut straight along the center of the back and is linked to the collar by EG.

No. 5. — 2nd ruffle; 2nd part. Connects to the first part by K and to the collar by KIJ.

These two ruffles are given in two separate parts, each with the aim of saving fabric; People who do not want to have a seam on the sides can cut them in one piece by joining them together at the notches and placing them on the fabric in the same direction as they are in the drawing.

No. 6. — Reverse; connects to the neckline of the collar at A and to the end of the first ruffle at E.

No. 7. — Godet collar with seam in the middle of the back; it is connected to the collar via AB.
