Just a kind of magic

I do some legal stuff. and I dabble at writing. Mostly sci-fi/horror. and gay. and gay sci-fi. Often distracted by Timothee Chalamet. He, him.

We met by
the Lake of Hali
he kissed me there
my King in Yellow

We danced that day
to harp music, drums, cheers
(was it night? were they screams?)
for Hastur and I.

The suns never set
or perhaps, never rise
in Carcosa, my throne
The King and I.

His Face card

[Dune Quotes @DuneQuoteBot]

The spirit of Muad'Dib is more than words, more than the letter of the Law that arises from his name. Muad'Dib must always be that inner outrage against the complacently powerful, against the charlatans and the dogmatic fanatics.

On his birthday, let’s appreciate Richard Schiff’s best moment in the show

Caught a whiff of
#hiraeth today,
walking outside
my parents' house.

My dad had a garden,
a yearly smell of brow sweat,
vegetables, and fresh-tilled dirt.

Garden's gone for years now,
Dad for six months.

I watched the spacedock explode; my head filled with uncertainty. Were we right in what we were doing? Was our cause just?

And what of the pope and her children on Albraxus 7, the world the natives call NuRome?

Portal travel accounts for drift as best it can. Within a galaxy, this is simply done, requiring a mere updating of the dataspheres at the Central Node every thousand years or so. A child with a basic understanding of Stebbins Law can do it.

"What's this compound do?"

"Knocks you out. You're going to want that. Trip's long."

"Talk about an understatement. It's 5,000 years."

"You'll sleep through most of it."

"Do I take with water?"

"No. Goes in through your skin by touch. You've already taken it."

[Dune Quotes @DuneQuoteBot]

What they needed was a living god, and they didn't have one, a situation which Muad'Dib's son has corrected.

Moving day. Pray for us. Old gods and new and those yet to come.

And Yog Sothoth, who knows where they broke through of old, and where they will break through again.

Moving to a new house. Posts will be sporadic at best until settled.
