Week 42 - January 14th, 2024 'Coastline' - Hollow Coves Spotify / YouTube

For ‘Of Honor and Force’, my Royalty AU! Knight Obi-Wan sneaking young prince Rex down to the coast for a quiet moment away from it all.

Honestly I put too much thought into the background, gotta stop doing that XD But what can I say, I'm obsessed with telling a story through my images, and every piece of the background was needed for that.

Enjoy!

Week 42

Here we go, the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Apparently it's this trope prompt: Forced proximity.

Which, I suspect, raises more questions than it answers. I guess we'll find out. Get drabbling!

Week #42

She dreamed of becoming a writer; me with saving the planet.

The leaves on the trees have already begun to change colour—last chance to survive another winter. Red, yellow, and orange paint the landscape with warm tones, colours culturally associated with passion and that bring to mind the memory of fire. However, they contrast with the clothing of the people who walk beneath them—greyish, neutral colours, and some black as well.

It's funny, I think as I walk through the city streets at night, how imperceptible all these colours are. The trees, illuminated only by the stars and the artificial light from streetlights and passing cars, are nothing more than skeletons—dead bodies swayed by the wind, which occasionally makes the dry leaves on the ground rattle as they are dragged along.

The night, or rather, the complete absence of natural light—sunlight that takes almost eight minutes to reach our planet—cancels out the seasons, almost as if the Earth had stopped rotating around the sun, jealous of the importance we give to that fireball. Without light, the trees remain static, and—if one tries hard enough to dissociate from reality—one can imagine that it is still summer, or even spring.

While walking through the quiet and dark streets of the city, I call my friend on the phone. Why? You may ask. Honestly, for no particular reason. Perhaps to not feel so alone, perhaps because I am walking through an area that is too dark and silent—as if my conversation could prevent me from danger or something like that—or perhaps to ignore the darkest and most disastrous thoughts of my exhausted mind, which, in a way, seems to be preparing for the arrival of winter. You see, the absence of light—short days and grey skies—induces my mind into complete apathy, making it more susceptible to sad, sticky thoughts like tar, permeating my grey matter, enclosed in a bone cage. And, you see, I like it, I like feeling miserable in a way, I embrace it.

Our conversation revolves around catching up, discussing life and our problems—without getting too philosophical, neither she nor I are that pedantic. There's not much we can really do for each other and we soon realise that we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes—or steps, if you don't want me to be catastrophic—of our parents. And we realise, as we talk, how adulthood has gradually erased our innocence, our enthusiasm, our desire to build a bright future—like the light of the sun. Or perhaps we have woken up from the dormancy that late capitalism submerged us in, and only now do we realise what a shitty world we live in—maybe we just took the wrong pill.

She dreamed of becoming a writer; me with studying ecology and saving the planet. It seems that popular literature does not mourn the loss of another young writer who will never be, and the planet seems to be doing... just fine. A little warmer than fifty years ago. But there it is, ellipsoid, rotating constantly. Warmer winters and even more arid summers occur, in between torrential rains, droughts and hurricanes. But it keeps spinning.

there was that moment —

One day my heart emptied itself of all its content

and my chest breathed a sigh of relief

In that moment,

there was a pattern to the light

there was a rhythm to the vibration of every motion

and the sounds were pure and resonant

I basked in beauty

I contemplated the mysteries

I reveled in the sensual

and that moment was good

I think the main reason I'm a bit let down about the well's monster reveal is that midnight wasn't so much a monster-of-the-week episode than it was a study on human behaviour, especially in high-stress environments.

the well had it's own story to tell. in fact, I really enjoyed it, especially how it incorporated a deaf character into the narrative and explored her isolation when people turned their back on her, disallowing her the ability to lip read or sign. the fact that the monster on her own back would sooner kill if she was to do the same thing speaks volumes, it was a really poignant message.

in fact, it was such a poignant message that I sort of fail to understand why we needed the story to have any connection to midnight at all. the monster worked in such a different way from midnight that it really wouldn't have been noticeable if they took out the parts that tied the episodes together.

midnight stood strong as a stand-alone, it didn't need any further examination or lore because it was never about the monster to begin with. adding any depth to that doesn't improve upon the story, it just waters it down.

in short, I really liked the themes of this episode, I just think it would have worked better with its own monster, instead of borrowing from one that needed no further development.

Happy Birthday @mega-aulover! I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow.

I wrote 110 words plus and the plus is unidentifiable because I'm editing my fic for the Hurricane Helene fundraiser and editing does involve new writing (but I haven't kept track of every single word).

Week 42 of 2024

This week I was able to write 271 words for Hybrid. Tomorrow is my birthday and all I wish for more donations to the hurricane relief fund.

how did you guys do?
