Roddacember 2019 Day 4: Creature

So let’s talk about the Glus for a second.

I have made no secret of the fact that the Glus gives me the absolute creeps and was my biggest nightmare when first reading Deltora Quest. When taking The Maze Of The Beast from the library as a kid I was already scared of touching the cover simply because of the nasty fluorescent 3D slug on it (did your versions of the books also have those 3D covers?). I have never been a fan of crawly things or anything that has more than 2 eyes. Of course, Milne’s fate in the book didn’t exactly help make things any better. And the name alone still makes me shiver. Glus. It’s like someone somehow managed to make the word slug sound more disgusting. Glus. Yuk. Gotta admit, though, the name fits it perfectly.

However, despite the fact that the Glus, to this day, still sends shivers down my spine by the mere thought of it, I have come to find the creature strangely lovable. Let’s begin with the fact that it’s the most innocent of all the gem-guardians. Thaegan, Reeah, Gellick and Guardian were minions of the Shadow Lord, and Gorl and the Hive were greedy bastards. Glussy just wants to live in peace and obviously needs to eat. It’s not its fault that it looks horrifying and disgusting and kills its prey in the most nightmarish way possible. We even discover that it considers the structural integrity of its home more important than chasing down its prey.

But all of this is made even stronger when thinking of the story Little Enna. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a Toran folk song Joseph believed to be the origin story of the Glus. It tells the story of a girl called Enna who finds an egg which hatches a ‘sweet sea worm’. Her mother is rightfully creeped out by the thing and tells Enna to throw it back into the sea. While on the shore she gets dragged into the caves below by what can only be the famous blowhole outside the Maze of the Beast. The final verse of the song reads:

Since that sad day, long years have flown, But still, beneath that seething foam Where Enna sleeps, The sea-worm creeps, And spins its webs of bone-white stone

So if this song is true, the Glus seemingly just wants to protect the girl who cared for it, the only person to not be horrified by how it looked. Though she is most likely already dead, if the story even is true, it is hard to not feel at least a little sad for the Glus.

I personally imagine that Enna died from the fall, but the Glus still wanted to preserve and protect her. And so, in a place that Lief, Barda and Jasmine didn’t see, Enna’s body is preserved in the stone, her face just barely visible through the thin layer of rock, where her sweet sea worm tries to care for her as best it can. The Glus was never the guardian of the amethyst. It was only the guardian of its own personal gem.

The short stories in the land of dragons were meant to be tenna birdsong tales but I still maintain that they should have been in del folklore instead and i know noone cares but it's been bothering me for YEARS

The stories are centred around del and dorne, but theyre much more involved in the more recent history side of things than the very ancient side of a lot of the tenna birdsong tales (or at least the vibe I get)

They're in a completely different style! Tenna birdsong tales were written as fairy tales and from all the ones we know of, only two have dialogue - one line from opal the dreamer and a few lines from the girl with the golden hair. The land of dragons, on the other hand? Proper short stories that are much longer, get into more detail about events and characters etc, are obviously linked together

It would be so so nice to see folktales from other tribes. iirc we have a handful of tenna birdsong (that joseph had to actively work into stringing into chronological order; the land of dragons stories were much more obviously connected with shared events characters etc) and one (1) verse from a toran folksong in the deltora book of monsters regarding the birth of the glus. I feel like there were mentions of mere ones (there were definitely some work songs about historic events and like I love work songs) And like WOULDNT it be nice to have some other styles and tribes mixed in there! And tlod is already stylistically distinct from tenna so go! that! extra! step!

And in a perfect world rodda would have published the first volume of the deltora annals where all the folk stories and songs are recorded but no we have ^ that and a 22 year old being annoyed at fictional folklore in a fictional book series written for 10 year olds

Mary and Sol’s Tentative Holiday Bargaining

A very rough sketch of a story I've been tinkering with. I've been trying to imagine what kind of story I would write for a Lifetime Network movie. Sadly I've already fallen into the trap of it being about 2 moderately wealthy young white people in the suburbs... but don't worry, it's meant to portray their mise en scene with tons of shrewd dramatic irony.

Mary was a catholic who one year decided to try hanukkah after meeting a handsome jew who worked near Kingsway named Sol.

There wasn’t a world of difference, aside from a different set of decorations, a different long series of traditions at temple instead of liturgies as with a midnight mass-

Either one was unexciting, and a good reason to sleep with her hands folded on her forehead.

Mary loved a Christmas tree in her home though Sol, since his bar-mitvah in the holy land of Montreal,

preferred his 3 foot tall gold plated menorah, gifted as it were from his aunt Sabina who owned D&D Judaica,

reluctantly they reached a bargain with the hemlock in the backyard of their new apartment at East Pender and Woodland,

Mary decorated the side facing away from the window, so Sol’s parents wouldn’t see from the kitchen.

Mary explained the arrangement to her mother Esther, who promptly suggested they go fly a kite if they’re so anxious about the nativity

and now each year the home is host to Jewish artefacts, until December 15th, after which, adorned with elves and Santa christ the child llama shepherds llamas and 3 wise women.

Their first Christmas together Mary found the sheets unturned beside her as if Sol were a ghost she’d dreamed up the past 8 months, until a romantic scraping of the sidewalk and, abrupt cold boots in the doorway signaling the seasonal holiday tradition of a chinese food restaurant,

Mary smiling, like a prop in the background of a “fireplace for your home”,

Eventually through close friends from work and life, Mary had every winter holiday represented in books and crafts around her home:

the menorah for Sol, a kinara from Rosemary, sage and branches for Daisy, rangoli and toran for Irshad, kadomatsu for Ayumi, a laurel crown with red ribbons from Solvieg, and from Elena Maria a moss and paper lantern.

Martha-Esther was born in 2021 at St. Joseph’s, brought home wrapped in Mary’s blue sweater,

a wood sign from Ether arrived soon after wrapped first in plastic from Canada Post,

and then craft paper and red flax rope reflecting a trendy and woodsy version of Winter Solstice, now sold in most gentrified neighborhoods outside major city centres

remixed in conservative manners to appeal to almost every major faith group,

hemlock stained violet and laser etchings of text adorned in garlands:

“There’s plenty of room at this inn for everyone”.

Another pic I did from a cell phone snappy. This one comes from a buddy who was moving from L.A to Detroit, and found a perfect time to snap a picture. Thought it was super pretty alone, but knew I wanted to play with it just a little bit.
