Officially an Earthling, creative in several ways and possibly out of the box (is there even one?), might use English, Dutch and other languages. Beware! Human rights and the golden rule are a minimum! All social constructs might need deconstruction...
It's a main theme in the story, and there is a great distance between the official image of a member of the Yanipolite imperial family and the actual person behind it, if there even is one left...
(In the case of Hanada there might be conflict between both too.)
For the #snippetshare.
Awkward for both sides, and after everything the sheltered crown princess has heard about men Dassan's freeze reaction is probably the last thing she ever expected.
Without Borlo there probably wouldn't even have been a conversation...
For the #WIPsnips.
The building where the emperor lives (actually he's just the emperor-consort/first husband of the empress) is massive and enormous, but Dassan finds the harem quarters creepy, also because none of them is supposed to be there... This place could be his future though...
The two most unplayable songs (on guitar and vocals) from REM's 'automatic for the people' are 'ignoreland' and 'the sidewinter sleeps tonight', or is that just me?
The storm didn't kill me, the government changed
Hear the answer and call, hear this song, rearranged

Another random Bram Cools song for #bandcampfriday
is 'I'm not flirting'. I wasn't, and the feeling described is genuine from a younger me. I was experimenting with instruments that I couldn't play (the according) and reversed sounds though...

He's getting old, but there are some beautiful versions here.

For #bandcampfriday I'm going to post some random Bram Cools songs today.
The first one is 'shadows of shadows', which is some sort of drum'n bass in the album version, although I usually just play it with a piano or guitar...

Okay, this is new to me: when growing as an aquatic plant Vietnamese coriander (Persicaria odorata) will survive freezing in a Belgian winter.
For the #WIPsnips, a little later in the same scene as yesterday, Borlo tries to get away from the bullies in the night and, eh makes a new friend? (or becomes a snack for some random beast?)

"Once she lets you in, she's not so bad. I mean the girl Hanada as a person, not the environmental factors of her as the Imperial Crown Princess..."
She completely underestimates his trauma here I'm afraid, but he will completely survive the scene.
Swords with something like the ruby of whateveritiscalled are not really used for executions, even he should have known that.
My melodica, a protest song that some will find naive, and a sort of reggae beat... Maybe it'll be finished in the future.
For the #WIPsnips
Borlo hates bullies in general, and even more when they bully his friend, and thinks them unfit for marrying the crown princess or leading the empire... Which is something the princess herself would agree on.
A child of Omelas locked up in the basement?
For the #RandomReevesWords
Interesting scene here , almost at the end of the story Dassan thinks for a moment that everything he though he had was fake, and that he's going to be beheaded after all...
I wouldn't say Hanada is extremely affectionate with Dari for an average sibling relationship, but it's the only close affectionate relationship she ever has (apart from her teenage sister) until the story is almost over...
Interesting question, but I don't know who the MC is in the story of Dassan and princess Hanada.
Hanada doesn't know many children, but she loves her little brother Dari dearly, and his opinion (and pain) is probably the most missed factor in the decisions she makes during the story.
Somewhere in the nineties when I was a teenager I found a computer and discovered music software with piano rolls...
This was the result. #Musicsky

Some 'gods/Gods' need atheists, others need Luciferians, and this one needs a god-slayer and then a while later a madman with a lantern yelling at everyone on the plaza that God is dead...
(and I say that as a Christian...)
No 'media' in the story of Dassan, so here's the variety of sorts of books the princess reads. A murder in the crown prince selections means even more studying.(I have no ideam yself about the details of the history of fold-books in the Yanipolite Yanah era, sorry)
Little 'Ansifer' crossover too.
tweet from derek guy (the menswear dude) i think people — men, women, straight, gay, or bi — should be more careful about critiquing people's outfits based on whether they find them sexually attractive. not everyone is dressing with the intention of getting into your pants, so whether you're turned on is irrelevant
I'd go even further.
If you think you're entitled to have opinions about the sexual attractiveness of anyone who isn't your partner you're a creep and you're overstepping boundaries.
Random internet quote for today: “Money creates a mental illness that makes people traitors to humanity.“
How would you feel as the crown princess of a matriarchal empire when you have your first diplomatic mission like this at the same time as the selection procedures of your first husband (empresses get polyandry, but it's not that romantic)
Even someone as capable as Hanada would get stressed here.
Monday #snippetshare #writingq with Hanada, who is supposed to be invulnerable as the crown princess, and has a face like a traditional ceremonial mask... Crown prince selections, diplomatic meetings with representatives from strange places, she'll do it.
But inside of her other things are going on.
Is dat een bloemknop of een nieuwe scheut?
