Rory wasn’t one for putting too much emphasis on the statistics of a character, analysing critical probabilities and damage points.
He just did things and if they made monsters die faster, great! He didn’t pay attention to a #number unless it was bigger than what he already had in the stat.

The only thing that concerned Dylan was whether The Enemy or his ‘navy’ had the greater #number of ships. The Enemy weren’t that much more advanced, or that much better at fighting. It came down to pluck and spirit and who had more shooty things.

They seemed unending, though. Too many.

beneath trees stripped of their mask
lushness lost to fall

Kaya is a spiritual person, as is my foster mother. I respect their beliefs, but those are just #myth-s for
me. They believe in a supreme deity, but if such an entity exists, how can it allow the atrocities I have witnessed?
No. Only I am in charge of my destiny.

-
here in the torment
of Tartarus black
this brittle shadow burns
from within

alone with what's real:
flame
and blood
and pain

i long for the soft blue
of rain
i ache for the myth
we once called us

tremulous
and fleeting -
a quivering leaf
still crimson in winter

Wonderful to see you, Dani! 💖

In a world fascinated with #myth and legend, Devilsclaw was a wonder. It managed to be a home and headquarters of fantasy and fierceness. Vampires, werecreatures, faeries, gods, naiads, dryads, witches, warlocks, seers, warriors, elementals, cosmic aliens, and more were neighbors.

Legend had it if a couple were still happily married on their golden wedding anniversary, fairies would appear.

6 of them rocked up at Jim & Marg’s do.

“Oh! I thought it was a #myth!” I said.

“It is,” whispered a fairy. “They’re miserable as ****, but we love a party!” #vss365

Great to see you over here, Sands!

Frith is a #myth
Bloodshed
murder & glory
Make up most
of the untold story

Those who say
it can be found
Frith, peace,
or whatever that is
comes at a cost,
loss of young lives
The price it carries
is War

Peace then is
nurtured by sides
who have already
lost a lot

Wonderful! 👏✨

We are born equal, yet creative minds #measure themselves against history, discover #myth, and cross the line of fate to define their destinies.

Wonderful, Karen! And so good to see you! I remember our 1LineWed days! 💖💖

The spine-chilling legend of the Ebony Ironwood hid well the secret at its ancient heart. Dark elves dwelled peaceably with wood nymph, protecting the forest, keeping strangers away with sinister #myth and magic. It was a haven for scholars and learning that Cornon couldn’t wait to leave.

Steve!!!!! It’s so great to read your words again! ✨✨😊😊

Steve Myth. Mr S Myth. Or so he said. But I don't believe he ever existed. That he was real. You're just a Myth, I'd say. He'd laugh. Nobody'd hear him but me. We'd wander together on bus n train. I'd talk. He'd listen. We'd laugh. Other's'd think us mad. He's just a #Myth, I'd say.

That’s it! I’m starting a Riz fan club! 😂👏👏

"I'm sick of dis erasure!" Riz protested.
"What erasure?" I stupidly asked.
"Da erasure of all da #myths bout me! I 'ad all sorts of cultures talkin bout me!"
"I think some of the Fae told me some of them, weren't they all bad?"
"Publicity is publicity!"

Such a beautiful and thoughtful write. Love this, Swarn!

I believe no myth
but I get lost in stories
they are the art of the teacher

and yet life itself
is a story
does it mean
there must be a Teacher?

I cannot guess Their nature
unless nature is the teacher
and so I shall study the sky
and all that is under

we are stories
nested in stories

A colorful view of space showing a vibrant nebula with swirling clouds of orange, green, blue, and yellow.

Her hair shimmers with the fire of suns,
yet the light does not burn.
She stands where gravity forgets her name,
a #myth among stars,
her dress rustling on winds that warm moons.
She whispers for her muse, waiting on planes that have never known rain.

#vss365

🤣🤣

Dark forest with moonlight

Slipping through a door,
she chases light,
reprieve from the shadowscape within.

The air beyond is still,
neither warm nor cold,
sighing in moonlight not meant for her

She traces “sorry” on a hidden #measure of skin,
returning to her starless sleep.
There, among her shadows, she is home.

Should I rat you out (see what I did there?) on Twitter? 😂😂

Good morning.
#November11th is the day we remember with gratitude the immeasurable numbers of people who died fighting fascism. We vowed it would never happen again - but here it is. I pray it doesn't prevail.
Today's word is #measure

#vss365 #poem #tanka #measure

The measure of all things
sleeps beneath your closed eyes—
dead leaves whispering,
as in Baudelaire’s lost dream,
stairs ascend to nothingness.

It was a moment of clarity, an epiphany. He believed the measured distance of fragments of time would enable him to travel to the past & into the future. He began to assemble the necessary writings & mathematics for the job but fell dead from excitement. #vss365 #vsstimetravel

The treasures secured at a very young age was too immense for Mary.

Be it Wisdom, #Honour, Pride, Glory, Wealth, Name and Fame

But for more than a decade pirates went absconded stealing all these golden valuables without #measures

Indeed it was "GOD'S GIFT" and Future !!!
