Rousseau Was Right

 Hatred.
 

It does not exist in the void.
 

It is surrounded by love and empathy.
 

And they feed it, fueling it in holy ways.
 

Emotions so dear become whips, barbed and rusty,
 

Beauty is Meaningless

 Day without night: all
Will burn alive under
Intense, harsh light.
 

Without bats, the stings
Of a thousand insects will
Pierce your fell skin.
 

Without insects, you
Will wither as plants crumble; 2017-07-12 01:38:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Gaia

 Oh vast land beneath the feet
Oh ancient forests and plains
Oh strong winds and mountains
Oceans and swamps, alike in their
Vital force and strength, aid me,
Aid me oh mother goddess, aid

A Fable

 AN: This story is dedicated to a person whom I once loved. The flames are gone, but its nice reminiscing.

Once upon a time, there was a crane, stalking the plains. 

His wings were  open, as if to ...

Ingratitude

 Dying is the Phoenix in the West,
 

It's flames touching the sore sea,
 

Light scorching like boiling blood
 

 As the breath coughs life into dark water.
 

Oh gaze of the Horai,
 ...

Iapetus

 In the West lies the Sun's grave, with poplars crying golden sap;
 

For as Persephone descends to Hades, so does Helios court the Piercer.
 

Blessed be the heavenly Scorpion, scourge of his father Ouranos,

Non-mammalian mammals

So, what is a mammal exactly?

You might have heard the old adage: “it’s an animal with fur, warm-blood and milk”. This is extremely fortunate, because every group of non-therian mammal I’m discussing in this series has all three ...

Intro on non-therian mammals

So, nearly all mammals alive today belong to a group called Theria. Therians first evolved in the Jurassic, and started off as tree-climbing possum-like things.

You know, kind of the Mesozoic mammal stereotype and all. Of course, that di...

Dawn Goddess

Praise be unto the ancient light,

Beams that pass amidst the birch trees,

That bleach the bark and turn sap into gold.

Praise be unto the instigator,

She who instills order into the universe,

And love into mankind...

Huitzilopochtli

I am the war hummingbird, my wings beat fast and my heart races like the wind.

I am the war hummingbird, ferocious but fragile.

I am the war hummingbird, burning my life away.

Through speed, I kill myself, far better than you ever could...

Heron, Falcon and Crow

The sun at dawn wades,

Its head bobbing back and forth,

Piercing the dark as the night fades.

The sun at midday shouts,

Its talons glistening with viscous red,

A crimson light purging away our doubts.

Balto 2 Review Part 1

And with all this said we dive into Balto: Wolf Quest. Or Balto II: Wolf Quest. I guess this is being a sequel is optional. Wise choice.

This was my gateway to the franchise as a whole. Like I said, the original Balto doesn't seem to have gotten an...

Peligrotherium

Most modern mammals are either placentals or marsupials. These two lineages (and their extinct relatives) are collectively known as therian mammals, and achieved global dominance during the Cenozoic. Earlier mammal groups (including most the...

Reviewing the Balto sequels: Prelude

Of the countless OVAs I grew up with, the single most memorable one was... Dragon Hill. But since no one else knows about it, I'll talk about the Balto sequels instead.

It's one of those cases where I watched the sequels before I knew about the ori...

Kyell Gold Song Lyrics

Kyell Gold,

Kyell Gold,

Kyell Gold

Oh Kyell Gold

You are amazing

In ways I can't 

Even dream of,

Oh yes you are!

Oh Kyell Gold,

You are amazing

In ways I can't

Even figure out.

Song Lyrics: Blessed or Cursed

You’ve been here for just two years,

I’ve been here ten times as much.

Yet I know you’re older than me,

Feline years tend to go as such.

As your life is spent rolling on the floor,

Oblivious to the coming ...

On Fallen Máni

So, I just posted approximately 30% of what was originally going to be my first published novel. I've been working on this from 2013 onwards, and I'm still writing and re-writing the whole thing.

I have plans for a proper publication, ...

Fallen Máni: Yew-Tree

Everything went in a blur for Silvia.

Her brother became the Moon, and the sky of their home became half-dark, half-light.

She was caught in the awe of that spectacle, until he left.

She knew why he left, but she couldn't he...

Fallen Máni: Pear-Tree

Amidst the branches of Yggdrasil, the Moon was a flower.

Manuel learned from his sister, and now could feel it himself. Reality as he knew it wasn't so much peeled as blossomed, an eruption that connected him to nine ...

Fallen Máni: Elk-Sedge

Manuel breathed in deeply, trying to calm himself. 

Again did he try to tap into the power of his true self. As before, his mind felt overwhelmed by his cosmic nature, but with each attempt his emotional strings wove a ...

Fallen Máni: Sun

 Hati and Sköll managed to make most of the way to their intended destination, travelling across the forests and killing wildlife and hikers alike.  

They only travelled at night, spending the days in caves, sewers, abandoned ...

Fallen Máni: Justice

Bil climbed higher and higher in the vastness of Yggdrasil and its countless branches and leaves, until she reached the very top, the realm of the Æsir gods.

She soared across a vast, blue, empty sky, until she found what she was look...

Fallen Máni: Birch

At the town’s outskirts, on the outer side of a hill, facing the dense forest expanse, was a shack.  It was made from black wood, polished so much as to glisten under the midday Sun. 

A small house, square-like and with sim...

Fallen Máni: Horse

Midday went on, searing hot and bright. 

Sköll almost doze off with the heat and luminosity, feeling his head pulsing viciously. Above him was his millenia old enemy, radiating her light on him. 

If only she knew I...
