i will be your shadow, i will follow you, never let you go
Born of fire, never been
Black clouds of smoke hung heavy in the sky and smothered the last light of day. The earth still glowed from the fury of battle, ash danced through the air like shadows of the past.
She stood alone. No crown, no cloak - only the scars of war on her skin.
She had won. All enemies had fallen, every threat had been extinguished.
But the cost was unspeakable. Even her own people had been swept away by the violence that had been unleashed - lost in a storm that she herself had ignited.
The island was hers - but what was once alive now lay in ashes. No rejoicing, no shouting, no life. Just scorched earth and a painful silence.
And in this silence she stood - victor of a war she had paid too dearly for.
She felt the wind on her skin, tasted the dust in the air, felt the weight of her guilt - alive, deep, human.
But above her, strange apparitions flickered in the sky - pixelated, erratic, artificial. She did not see them.
She didn't realise that she was just a game character, created in a virtual world. A simulation of life, characterised by pain and triumph.
For her, everything was real. And maybe… it was. ---------------------- Done in Illustrator and Photoshop
What the actual fuck is up with all the conservative advertisements on Tumblr?
No other social media has ever shown me ads that were further than what I want or even expect to see on my feeds.
I don't give a FUCK about maga hats or tailgate festival. Like where am I? Do they know who uses this platform?
I want to have an aesthetic Tumblr so bad, I want it to inspire me to write and make art, but I cannot. I will be Fandom Trash forever, always have been, always will be. And my liked posts are getting crowded. They want out.
Now I have not read the books, and do not know in what ways the show diverges from the source material
But I got to say, the wheel of time season finale was a play by play of dune (of which I have read)
Like, the foretold chief of a desert people, who was not raised amongst those people, yet swiftly learns their ways, who can wield great powers and see the history of that people, and brings water to the desert
That IS Paul Muad'dib Atreides
