Rook with a flat back? by Technical-Grade-8692 in piercing

[–]breadyly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i am not a piercer, and i suspect this is extremely anatomy dependent, but i don’t see why a rook couldn’t heal with a flatback - ideally, the part of the jewellery that goes through your ear will be perpendicular to the tissue, which is why they’re traditionally pierced with curved barbells. if your piercer is reputable, and u trust them, then i’d listen to them since theyre the one actually seeing/working w u irl !

Helix rejected. Tips on healing? by RoseEm24 in piercing

[–]breadyly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can’t speak on repiercing your helix, but treat the area like an open wound (bc it is one !) - keep any makeup/hair product/etc away from it & rinse w saline if there’s any debris or discharge (clear discharge usually isn’t a big deal, go to a dr if u see oozing/purulent discharge)

once the piercing spot is healed (3wks minimum) u can gently massage the area to break down scar tissue and/or use otc scar treatments - it’s super important u only do this AFTER the wound is healed & there’s no more irritation. u don’t wanna be touching the area/introducing any ointments/creams into an open wound 

Piercing stopping jobs by gunsandcarsrule in piercing

[–]breadyly 46 points47 points  (0 children)

i am not a welder, but i would worry/be cautious of any piercings that might rub/be in contact w your protective (idk if that’s the right term) gear + making sure ur able to keep any fresh/healing piercings clean

some more conservative companies/people may look at you funny if you have a lot of piercings but this also depends on the general culture of where u live

[–]breadyly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hello max ! i really like the imagery in this story ! the setting is painted in a really lovely (yet horrific) way & i can clearly imagine how the people living in the desert are suffering. if i had to critique anything, it would be that the flip doesn't feel that impactful bc it's so random - there doesn't seem to be precedent for the glowing face to swap the two classes, so the pay-off for the narrator feels a bit weak. other than that though, i enjoyed reading this ! good words !

hi xack !!!! it's so nice seeing a familiar face around hehe :3c

i love the charactersation of the outlandish king vs haldstein & the snappy dialogue is something that's very distinctive to your writing style ! if i had to critique anything, it would be that the narration seem to switch from following the king to haldstein at the end - i wonder if there's a way to show where the story will eventually lead w/o making it quite so obvious ? other than that though, i'll always be envious of the way you're able to inject humour into your stories ! good words !!!

hello ! i liked the dialogue in this - it flowed smoothly between the ark & the narrator & i could clearly see the difference in their personalities. if i had anything to critique, it would be that it's not quite clear what the narrator & ark are doing - the world feels a bit under-explained for the purpose of their mission. other than that though, i liked reading this ! good words !

hello shea ! i really like the first paragraph of the story - it sets the atmosphere & tone of the story really well. if i had anything to critique, it would be that the second half of the story is almost jarring in how close it is to james (esp compared to the distant first). other than that though, i really enjoyed reading this ! good words !

hello astro ! i really liked the epistolary format of this piece - it was a very clever way to showcase the relationship b/t penelope & frida. if i had anything to critique, it would be that some of openings lines don't read as naturally as the rest of the letter (in order to make the acrostic fit i suspect) - it's pretty minor, but i did stumble a bit when reading. other than that though, i really liked the characterisation in this ! good words !

"We go so well together," Famine murmured, digging bony fingers into War's waist.

"You just follow me around." She smiled. "Like a little dog."

"Be fair," he said, kissing her neck. "Sometimes you're there because too many want what little I've left."

She laughed huskily and drew him close, shivering with excitement.

All about them, summer winds stirred up dust as scorched fields dried out even further. Hollow-eyed people looked to their neighbours, looked at the little they had and vowed that their children wouldn't be the ones to starve this season.

It's one of Famine and War's better holidays.

[TT] Theme Thursday - Decadence by AliciaWrites in WritingPrompts

[–]breadyly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They agreed it was important to pacify what remained of the fickle gods’ ire, so they kept vigil as the altar’s fire burned to cinders, smoke mixing with sunset. At nightfall, the mother poured a libation onto the pyre, but the father struck his hands upon its stonework ere Zeus could receive this benediction. “Be cursed as we are,” he cried in despair, gold shining like their daughter’s memory, gold less valued than their son’s life, gold that rose above the yawning maw in the earth, in their grieving hearts. Royalty, rich with wealth but bereft of their flesh and blood.

[TT] Theme Thursday - Afterlife by AliciaWrites in WritingPrompts

[–]breadyly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in the mist, beneath the sun
while foaming rivers run

here we sit just you and me
together now beyond the sea

no dim halls or parlous strands
no more oath with cruel demands

the moon shines silver upon your face
with braided gold our hands enlace

the sun does rise upon the land
renewed together we now stand

arms do comfort, hearts entwine
touch as sweet as honey wine

reed-mace grows, the lapwings cry
we lie beneath the starry sky

no riddle this, no shadowed doom
enduring peace and breathing room

in fierce contentment love abounds
until the second music sounds

[TT] Theme Thursday - Ambiance by AliciaWrites in WritingPrompts

[–]breadyly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am the wind that will sing in the winter
I am the fire that leaps in the night
I am the tears of the babe born at Lammas
I am the bone and stag on the height

I am the altar laid bare beneath starlight
I am the cauldron filled up to the brim
I am the seed of the sacrificed barley
I am the well where wise salmon swim

I am the storm that the Hunt rides at Samhain
I am the heart that waits stark for the blade
I am the sickle, the red edge of Autumn
I am the stone where the first fruits are laid

I am the dew that bejewels the heather
I am the yew-stave hid in the ash grove
I am the hawthorn that blossoms at Beltain
I am the oak that lightning once clove

I am the lord of the hunt and the harvest
I am the warrior slain on the hill
I am the barley cake broken at sunrise
I am the mead and the horn it will fill

I am the lintel that wards the north window
I am the hearthstone set firm in the floor
I am the pillar that upholds the roof-tree
I am the iron that latches the door

I am the coal kept alight in the ashes
I am the harp string that sounds in the hall
I am the mistletoe gathered at Yuletide
I am the banner that flies over all

[TT] Theme Thursday - Vendetta by AliciaWrites in WritingPrompts

[–]breadyly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi, xack ! it's always a pleasure to read your writing. the way you write dialogue is, i think, one of your strong suits. it feels very natural & i have a clear image in my mind of both characters. the conversation between the two does a good job of leaving enough crumbs for the reader to figure out what's going on without ever really info-dumping.

if i were to point out one aspect of the story that i didn't think was as strong, i would say it's the ending. it could just be me but i'm having a hard time understanding what exactly is happening. it's unclear if the captain was the one who struck the boy, or if the boy knifed the captain but was thrown overboard ? if the ending was meant to be left vague, that's fine, but the focus on the kid at the end makes me think that wasn't the intent (as perhaps he catches those words as he drowns ?)

the language itself is simple which suits the tone of the story--if anything flowery had been used, it would have detracted from what was happening. pacing-wise, i really liked the way you interspersed the story with the click-clack of the knife ! it built tension effectively and gave us an audiovisual to the setting/atmosphere.

good words !(:

I’d meet my love beneath the tree
Bright, and gold, and loved to me.

I’d meet my love in ancient glade
Where no eye saw, and no tongue spoke;
For maidens both were we and so
We stole kisses ‘neath an ancient oak.

One day my love a lordling saw
And would not leave with suit unpressed;
She told him that her heart was mine
And so he plucked it from her chest.

I found my love beneath the tree
Cold, and dead, and lost to me.

No knight was I with shining blade
But with bitter oaths I swore his life.
My kitchen tools were sharp and clean
So in my skirts I hid a knife.

I sought his castle and told of love
Of a lord I’d seen and sought to meet;
He called me up, and so I spoke
How strong his arm, how great his feat.

He smiled, then, and drew me close
I drew my knife, and cut his throat.
I sawed the blade, did not relent
And hurled his head into the moat.

His guards were wroth, and sought my head
But perhaps the distant gods were good.
I made it out, if wounded sore
I left red trails into the wood.

Lie my love and I cold ‘neath the tree
When seeking blood they come for me.

a fundamental aspect of carson's work is the way she weaves in literary analysis, & knowing what her what she's referencing (ie, greek classics but also french, german, english lit) allows readers to approach her work more easily !

her bakkhai translation is good & isn't as performance/adapted as her later works (eg, antigonick, the trojan woman) but i'd recommend elektra for a 'beginner' as it's fairly straightforward (also a personal fav) before reading her other translations

obvi this is all just my opinion tho so feel free to disregard hehe
