Ellis Nightingale , “December”

[catmint1]

Novembers are for softest sleep when skies are dark and grey. They do not mind the time you keep when night looks much like day. They do not mind the rain that falls so warmly down your cheek. ‘Rest easy now’ is what they’d say if months knew how to speak.

—Ellis Nightingale, "November" Floret: Poetry

[oldwinesoul]

“Decembers are for dreaming of all the things to come. Just turn towards the eastern sky, that's where the sun wakes from. You're at the end but what lies next is all that you will be. So close your eyes and wait for dawn. The future's yours, you'll see.”

// Ellis Nightingale

You’ll find me in softest darkness, when the earth is half-awake. When the air is still and silent, and the dawn is yet to break.

Three Pounds of Stardusts ~ Ellis Nightingale

I'm aching and hoping and quietly dreaming like stars wait to fall. To shoot. To fly.

And all the while you're living, breathing, underneath a static sky.

I'd fall for you, I'd hurtle willingly, careen into the moonlit ground.

I'd pulverise my bones for you so that I might be the dust you found.

Prompt 163

Danny pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath, counting to ten and then letting it out. Why was this always his luck? Alright. Okay. Time to move again thanks to Dan pushing his body too far again, and ending up in his core. This was not how he was expecting to spend his days when he ghost-adopted his clone and sort-of son now actual son. Welp, he’ll throw a dart at the map to figure out where he’ll go next. 

Hm. Well, pack up Ellie! They’re moving to a place called Smallville, you always wanted a horse, right?

prompt 15.08 - Love and Protect

Tim sighs and stretches his arms. One more interview and it's over for today. The last interview for the day is with one Jazz Nightingale, a psychology major.

"So, why did you apply for the Martha Wayne Scholarship?"

...

She's an interesting person. A small town girl with good grades and impressive resume. Yet she's alert as any other batkid - her eyes scan the room, and he's pretty sure she's armed.

Interesting.

They finish the interview, and as they shake hands, she freeze and then start running away.

Interviews ARE stressful, but usually people don't come out running. He check the security feed, trying to follow her, and find a strange scenario:

There's a a small girl in a pink dress, seating on the floor and crying as she hold some stuffed animal (wait... is it a ghost?)

Bruce kneeling by her, quietly trying to question her about her family.

"GET AWAY FROM HER, FRUITLOOP!" Is suddenly ahout as Jazz enter the screen and pick up the crying toddler.

"What happened, dear? Where's your brother?"

"mommy," The toddler start crying louder. "I wake up and you are not home. I think they take you and they cut you and-"

"hush, hush, honey. I'm here. I'm safe". Jazz says as she hold the kid tightly.

.....

Or: Ellie was captured and vivisactwd for a short tet traumatic time. She still has nightmares.

As a way to keep her from melting, CW got her to be around 4/5 years old, and the kids run away.

The Nightingales move to Gotham. Danny (16), his older sister Jazz (19) and her daughter Ellie (5).

The bats find about them as Jazz apply for scholarship.

There identities are fake, but they seem to be under some kind of wetness protection.

(there aren't many reasons that leave a single mom teen and her younger brother in witness protection).

The bats have their theories. Red Hood try to check from time to time about them.

Shenanigans happen.

writing prompt #5

The room fell silent, Steph wasn't expecting the pain filled look they were giving her. The question repeated itself in her head a couple of times as her mind searched for a way to save the situation.

"I see you don't have an answer." The silence was still palpable in the room as well as the cold she felt when she saw those beautiful blue eyes lose their shine. "I should have known it was too good to be true, tell bru… Mr. Wayne that if he wanted to know about the projects so much, he could come ask for them himself instead of using a sugar trap." Steph tried to say something before an alert went off on Danny's phone, at which point she saw the panic that took over his eyes, before he ran to an adjacent hallway that led to a room, in which she was not. I had had the opportunity to enter. As she followed him she could see how Danny took a series of vials and several injections. She hesitated a moment before walking through the half-open door. At that moment she saw how he proceeded to apply several of the injections to a girl of about 5 or 6 years old. Steph knew just by seeing her that she was Danny's daughter. and some of the things they discovered while investigating the Nightingale medical company made a lot of sense.

Can you do a Ethan Payne imagine where y/n and Ethan are telling the boys and their gfs their having a baby one by one and then maybe a part two can be having the baby and the boys netting them and Ethan and y/n asking Harry to be the godfather since their so close

A/N: Sure I can give it a go! I hope you like it!

One By One (Ethan Payne/Behzinga)

Y/N's POV

Me and Harry sigh as we throw ourselves down on the sofa

We have had a busy week

It's been just over a month since me and Ethan found out that I am pregnant!

We couldn't be more happy

The baby wasn't planned but of course we are still happy

So as I am likely to be showing my bump soon, we thought that we should tell all our friends

But not just tell them to their faces, we decided to have a little bit of fun with it

And this is how it went:

Telling Simon and Talia:

We decided to take our little sausage dog with us to Simon and Talia's new house so they could meet Rolo and so could Mushu

As the dogs are running around and we are chatting, Talia notices that Rolo is wearing a jumper

"Awww Y/N, he looks so cute in a jumper! We should get Mushu one!" She says directing the comment to Simon, who sighs

"Mushu has a permanent jumper, he doesn't need an extra one" He says with a laugh

"What does it say on it?" She mumbles to herself as she lifts Rolo up

There is silence for a moment before we hear

"Holy shit!"

I look towards Talia, who is looking at me in disbelief

Simon moves closer to her to have a look

"My humans are getting me a human" He reads allowed

"No fucking way! Congrats man!" He says as he gets up and bro hugs Ethan

"Y/N! Oh my god!" She exclaims before moving over to me and hugging me

Safe to say that they are happy

Telling Freya and Josh:

Since it is around halloween time, we decided that we would have a couples pumpkin carving competition and see who could come up with the best designs

Freya and Josh came to our place, so we carved ours at the island and they did it at the dinning table

"Right we are sticking to the idea right?" I mumble to Ethan

"Yes stick to the design that we came up with before" He agrees

"Are you ready yet? We have been waiting to start for agesssss!" Freya groans elogating the s

We laugh

"Yes we are ready!" Ethan says

We count down from 3 and start carving on the word go

We have a range of pumpkins in different sizes and colours

So we decided to carve a heart out of one pumpkin and put a coloured one inside the one that has the heart cut out of it

I write Mummy above the heart cut out

Ethan writes daddy on the other pumpkin

On the heart, I write "Baby due" and then the due date

It isn't long before we are all finished and decided to reveal them at the same time

We stand with our backs to each other in front of the pumpkins and we arrange to turn around and reveal at the same time

"3...2...1!" We all exclaim before turning around at the same time

As soon as they turn around their eyes meet our pumpkins and realisation sets in

Suddenly Freya lets out a squeal, whilst Josh bro hugs Ethan

With the excitement, the pumpkins get forgotten about

But lets just say, I think we won that competition

Telling Vik and Ellie:

Me and Ethan also recently moved into a new house

So we decided that another way to tell people would be to have three sets of converse by the door as you walk in

One big pair, one medium pair and one tiny pair

We would get people to notice them by asking them to take their shoes off at the door when they come in

We decided to invite Ellie and Vik round for dinner, as part of the plan to tell them about the baby

I open the front door when I hear knocking to reveal the couple

"Come in! If it is ok would you be able to take your shoes off and leave them by the door" I request and both agree happily

As they walk in, I slowly begin to walk down the hallway to where Ethan is standing at the end of the hall

It's quiet for a moment before I hear

"Oh my god!"

I turn around to see Ellie holding the small pair of converse

"Are you pregnant Y/N?" Vik asks

I nod with a wide smile on my face

Vik comes up to me and hugs me tightly, whilst Ellie goes running up to Ethan and hugs him

"I'm so happy for you both!" I hear her tell him

I smile as I hug Vik back

I'm so glad they are all supportive

Telling JJ:

As we all know that JJ has been busy with boxing and what not and by this time, we are running out of ideas on how to tell the guys that we are having a baby

And with growing a baby inside me, I am slowly getting fed up trying to think of these ideas

So our idea for telling JJ was to get a picture of mine and Ethan's cars together and putting a small model car in front of them

We edited out the number plates and wrote "Arriving" on one and the due date on the other

Ethan sent this to JJ with nothing else

It took around an hour for him to reply after reading the message

He sent back "Holy shit?! Is Y/N pregnant?"

We decided to FaceTime him and say "surprise!"

JJ proceeded to scream before congratulating both of us and asking loads of questions, some of which we couldn't answer like

"Can the baby hear when you have sex?"

Wonders never cease with that man

Telling Tobi:

Ethan is currently at a Sidemen shoot with the boys and we decided to tell Tobi indirectly

Ethan sent me a text saying "he's nearby"

I quickly ring him on Facetime

It rings a few times before the screen lights up with Tobi's face

"Sorry Y/N, Ethan is currently sorting something out on the set, so he told me to answer the phone. Is everything ok?" He asks

I nod

"Yeah, don't worry! Would you be able to tell him that I have a bun in the oven" I explain

Tobi shouts to Ethan that I have a bun in the oven but half way through the sentence he pauses

"Wait, does that mean what I think it does?" he asks

"If by that you mean, am I pregnant? Then yes I am" I say with a chuckle

Tobi laughs

"Ethan come here man!" He exclaims

I see Ethan come in view of the screen and bro hugs with Tobi and they start talking about the baby

I smile as I see the admiration in Ethan's eyes as he talks about the baby

Telling Harry:

We are very close to Harry and we spend a lot of time him

So we decided that we would just sit him down and tell him

Because lets be honest, we don't know what reaction we are going to get from him!

"So what is this all about?" Harry asks as he sits down on the opposite sofa facing us

Me and Ethan came over to Harry's place to tell him

"Well we have some news that we wanted to tell you" I explain before taking a brief pause

"Y/N is pregnant" Ethan blurts out

Harry's eyes go wide

I wait for a weird or offensively funny comment but what I don't expect to hear is:

"Congratulations guys!"

I look at Harry with a raised eyebrow

"Thats it? Nothing else to say?" I ask with a chuckle

He shakes his head

"No! It's not everyday that your best friends are having a baby!" he explains

"I'm happy for you both!" He says

Harry gets up and gives us both a hug, which again I don't expect

We spend the rest of the afternoon hanging out and just chatting about the pregnancy

As well as explaining to Harry, why we aren't naming the baby Harry or Harriet

I'm so glad that everything went with the guys!

I really don't know what I would do without them!

A/N: I am slowly working through the imagine requests but PLEASE REQUEST SOME IMAGINES

Sorry, frightened anon.

Thanks for sharing the whole rant with Sephie/Sam, I couldn't agree more. I'm trying to stay out of The Seven tags for spoilers so I didn't actually know she was a fan favorite. But I have to say Sam/Sephie are my least favorite at the table. Sam being outright antagonistic about Antiope/Penny's things is really upsetting and immediately put a bad taste in my mouth. Her "why are we celebrating?" In ep 3 was another small moment. I'm only at ep 6 so maybe she brings it back and apologizes to everyone, but I don't know if that'll really make up for it.

I couldn't put it into words before but I think I have the same problem with Sam/Sephie taking bits too seriously, with both the fast food celebration and the viral video thing. Also I never feel like we see Sephie smiling/laughing along with the others? Or at least we super rarely do. Sam's whole thing just feels super "main character syndrome" to me. I don't know Sephie outside this but it feels like the assignment that comes with DND was kind of missed to me? Like everyone's the main character, this is an ensemble cast, that's how it works.

Those are my thoughts on the whole thing

God I'm so glad someone else agrees!!! As far as 'fan favorite' goes, I've just noticed that in the tag Sam seems to get the most stand alone art, and quite a few headcanons in relation to non-7 characters. This is at least partially due to the fact that she appeared more extensively in Fantasy High than any other PC member of the 7, but she definitely gets people's brains spinning. "Main character syndrome" is a great way to describe it concisely! And Sephie has a very calm resting face that she rarely breaks for sure, which makes it hard to connect with her. (The problem with 'knowing Sephie outside of this' is that D20 was her first credit. I checked, because I wanted to see what industry she came from, figure out if she's just better at something else. But she had no work in/on the internet, box office, or television prior to The 7. She must've worked on stage or something? She's been in a few other actual plays since.)

I don't want to hate it but I still haven't finished episode five because of how much it bugged me. I've heard great things about (MINOR SPOILER)(****) Ostentatia's religious arc serving as a great foil to Kristen/D20's other takes on religion and I was excited! I love Erika and wanted to see more from Aabria before I watch MisMag and CoFaF. Becca was fucking killing it as Penny, in character every second!! And I loved TaleSpire! There's only 5 more episodes but I hate that I'm going to have to 'get through it' instead of enjoying it.

An interview with Max Lawton about translating Vladimir Sorokin's masterpiece Blue Lard (and lots, lots more)

Max Lawton is the translator of many, many works, including a number of books by the Russian writer Vladimir Sorokin. The recent publication of two of those translations, Blue Lard and Red Pyramid was the occasion for my email-based interview with Max. We began in earnest late last fall and finished up on Leap Day, 2024. While Blue Lard was our starting place, we meandered, discussing future…
