Violet by Aconitum-Napellus, literature

Literature

Violet

When he cleared out her room after the dreadful event he made some startling discoveries; for Violet Hearne, for all of her saintly activities in her outward life, was a kleptomanic. She only had the one room, and that room was obsessively tidy. It was not the haunt of a hoarder. It was not the dive of an incorrigible thief. It was just the room of a single woman in her thirties, roughly the same age as the century she had been brought up in; neat, clean, drab, livened only by a couple of prints cut from magazines and carefully framed and a picture of her family that she must have brought all the way from England. In her public l...

Star Trek: After Khan

Kirk Do you know, Spock, I never thought you’d leave us. I mean, so many times – so many times – I thought you were dead. For a few heart stopping minutes, hours, days sometimes, I thought you were gone, but you always came back. It got me thinking that you couldn’t die. Just couldn’t. That’s silly, isn’t it? All men die. But then – no, I know it. I know what you’d come back with. You’d say in that wonderful, wise, level voice, I am not a man, Captain. I am a Vulcan. And do Vulcans die? Do they die in the same way as us mere frail human beings? There was the Intrepid . I know that. You felt them, all four hundred of them. But ...

The Child Catcher's Out Again

I will not step outside again. Not now. Not now the days are closed and paths are damp grey rivers leading to a lesser world. The sky a low lid over every ant-like step. A press on us. This time of year the eyes are out. The watchers watch away. Their gossip comes in frozen breath, makes lines of heat, makes mouth-to-mouth, resuscitating wintered minds. My hooded head is down, and will be down until the eyes are turned, mouths sewn closed. I keep my needles rusty, just like so, in case the child-catcher’s out again. Her smile is raw. (They’re always he r s, those crafty types.) They care you see. They see. Their eyes ...

StarTrek: Chocolate

Jim had not shaved for days. There was not enough stubble on his face to constitute a beard, but he definitely looked far from his normal, well-presented self. In addition to the stubble, Spock noted, there was a smudge of dirt on his left cheek, one on his forehead, and a thick smear of mud over his left ear. His top was ripped in four – no – in five places, showing glimpses of flesh and of cuts lined with dried blood, and his trousers were so filthy it would be more logical to count the clean places than the dirty. ‘I know what you’re thinking, Spock,’ Kirk said as he caught the Vulcan’s gaze. ‘But believe me, you’re no catal...

Nano Day 01

1.His birth was one of the first things that Anwen remembered. The beginning of her life in memory began with the beginning of his. Idwal was her anchor.Truth be told, she did not remember his actual birth. She had no real memory of him slipping into the world, inevitable and streaked with blood. She recalled the long, slow months of her mother's pregnancy. She remembered the growing, physical thing that held her separate from her mother, that pushed her away, an anthill growing day by day beneath her mother's clothes. As ominous as an anthill. As unwanted.She remembered the careful explanations, the clearing out of the small room at the...

Shipping and You: Conduct when it comes to ships! by Koofins, journal

Shipping and You: Conduct when it comes to ships!

Apr 18, 2015

Before I go on with this journal I want to say that it has nothing to do with individuals. Well, it does, but individuals as a whole that I have dealt with for years since becoming part of the fanart scene. I am not singling anybody out, I am not calling anyone out. I do think that if you see any similarities between the bad behaviors I point out in this journal and any you as a the reader might catch yourself doing, maybe you need to rethink things.So. Let's start from the beginning yes?You like Character A from Series A. They have an interesting design, an interesting personality, their story interests you! You are an artist. You want to...

Kirk/Spock 18th Anniversary (1997)

Mar 24, 2015

I should have mentioned this awhile back but I have been so busy that it slipped my mind. Today is Kirk/Spock day. There is another Kirk/Spock day in September but this was the first.The date was decided, because of both actors having their birth dates so close together. It was created to celebrate a day dedicated to Kirk/Spock.Here is what was written on fanlore, for Kirk/Spock day.[Andi L] wrote to us with a terrific idea that we thought we'd pass on to you. She says: 'You know how the closest Monday to Lincoln and Washington's birthdays is now a national holiday called Presidents' Day? Well, Shatner and Nimoy both have their birthdays ...

Frodo

0 min read

I've never written a journal on the app before and I haven't been around here for ages and I don't have a subscription any more. But I wanted to update to say we had to say goodbye to our dear Frodo on Monday. He was ill with age and getting worse, no longer happy, almost no longer with us. So I cradled him in my arms and we took him to the vet's where a very gentle vet and nurse put him to sleep. It was very sad and there were many tears and I held him until we buried him under a tree we planted very recently in memory of my brother in law, who we lost suddenly last winter. He was wrapped in purple cloth and buried with an egg. As a kind ...

It's Been A While...

0 min read

It really has. I don't spend a lot of time on dA any more, and I regret that. I miss the community. I miss the contact. But still I don't spend much time on here. I don't take a lot of photos. I don't publish my writing on here because I want to save it for publication, but I don't seek publication either.On the other hand, things are good. We've finally moved to our (like rescued cats) forever home. Four acres. Chickens, geese, cats, dog. We bought five little ducks the other day. I hope we'll get more animals as time goes on. I want to have goats again, maybe pigs. We've moved in with my parents, and it seems like just in time, because m...

Over the last year or so I've been reading through the 'BBC Books' list. Actually, there are two, the fallacious, 'the BBC thinks you will have only read six of these books' list (which was bastardised from the original), and the real list, which was just a top 100 voted for by the public. I actually like the fallacious one better, despite its oddities and repeated books. I'm never going to read all of these books. Some I just don't want to. But I get a bit addicted to completing lists, and this is my progress so far.First the 'The BBC thinks you will have only read six of these books' list. Bolded are read, italics are partly read, underl...

Hey sorry for the super late response. For some reason, my laptop freaked out and wiped away my Wifi Connection Acccessibilty, so I was forced to do a full Systems Reboot where I had to delete everything and reinstall Windows OS <.< But I still want to wish you a

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Sun

Have some free (Celebratory) Art too :) (Smile)

Normally I give it out to folks, especially on their birthday, cuz the idea is to spread positive vibes, (cuz I don't know if whoever on the other side is having a bad day or not.)
I was supposed to create more works like this, (cuz one day I'm hoping to make a Free art Collection to help spread positive around the world), but I haven't found the time yet T.T Please enjoy.
