A Tribute To The City Of Tears

A tribute to the City of Tears

(script under cut)

Unlike what people thought,

the Dreamers were aware of the world even in the Dream.

So Lurien continued to watch.

For that was his duty.

Perhaps,

the title of ‘Watcher’

suits him now

more than it ever did when he was awake.

The Watcher's gaze wanders the city like a ghost.

The endless sound of dripping rain, light glinting off the wet streets.

It didn't always rain in the city.

In the years

since the city was built,

the rain was a relatively new development.

But now even Lurien

finds it easier

to imagine the view outside the windows without rain

than to remember the city of before.

Every day the city the Watcher knows falls into ruin.

And Lurien's worn out memories

fade bit by bit

leaving only the vague impression

that 'it wasn't always like this.'

A song echoing amidst the patter of rain.

Traces of a dream different from that of the Dreamers.

Or perhaps a requiem from the city to itself.

In either case

the song is not for Lurien.

Lurien loved the Kingdom’s Capital,

the heart of Hallownest.

He did not live the age

where songs for a ruin were sung on the streets.

The streets echo with the footsteps of busy bugs.

Peaceful silence hangs in the Spire

and Lurien sits at his telescope.

Perhaps

if you cover your eyes

you could pretend

that Lurien’s beloved city

hasn't changed at all.

10.

But the Watcher never turns away.

11.

The wanderers call this place

the City of tears.

They will never realize

just how apt the name is.

OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

NOT JIF,

WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.

i often see people (specifically in the epic fandom) wanting to butchify odysseus or make odypen butchfemme, and squealing over sapphic covers from epic. let me present to you outis from limbus company, who is literally odysseus but a woman. limbus company's characters are based on classic lit, and outis is odysseus!

we don't know her full backstory yet but she IS a masculine woman and could very well be a butch lesbian? her penelope's gender is up in the air as of rn but it's heavily anticipated that her penelope is a woman. thus, butchfemme odypen COULD be a reality in like a year

play limbus company for all your butch odysseus needs...
