Love Me Some Magical Russian Assassin

I’m kinda upset that the girl in the Music Video for Galway Girl did not have black hair??? Like come on, that would have made the Valkyrie vibes perfect

100% accurate - both are annoying and if they do something helpful, 9/10 times it´s an accident

i have never seen a star wars movie, so i’ll just have to take your word for it

Shameless self promotion, but I´m about 50k words deep into a (German, sorry to all of you British folks) story about what could have happened if Valkyrie and Skulduggery had joined Dexter´s team during TM7... the main POVs are Dexter´s, Val´s and Saracen´s and the focus is on the mission as well as on the characters´ feelings / relationships. 

Fun fact:

In Bedlam the German Grand Mage is called Sturmun Drang.

Sturm und Drang is actually the name of a movement in German literature that took place during the Enlightenment. It's all about expressing extreme emotions and the original human genius.

The latter would make kinda sense for a name, but the first one doesn't really fit Drang, because he seems dry and cold in the novels...

Anywys, just stumbled over this and thought it was cool!

I recently found out why my mom would never sleep around me when I was a kid. Like she’d never let herself take naps or sleep if I was awake, ever. Or if she did, she would lock her bedroom door. So when I was 6, I was asleep in my bed in the middle of the night when I hear a loud bang, like a pot being dropped and come out to the living room to see my mom standing by the window, with just a huge pile of spaghetti all over the sill, and a pot on the ground, and I ’m like “Are you gonna eat all that?” And ya’ll she get’s BIG MAD and yells at me and chases me to my room but then a little while later a bunch of cops show up and ask me a bunch of random ass questions about my art? Like this one cop lady keeps asking me to draw dragons for her?! And they seem mad as hell

I didn’t want to get arrested so I just never asked my mom for spaghettis after that. Lesson, learned. Don’t ask mom for spaghettis or she’ll call the damn police on you. 

So I have this memory in my head, and it goes unquestioned until I say it outload for the first time a few months back and as soon as I say the words “When I was six, my mom called the cops on me for asking for spaghettis” My adult logic slams into place and is like “Hang on. Your mother definatly did not call the police on a 6 year old for asking for spaghetti.” 

So obviously that’s not what really went down. I call up my mom to tell her how I remember it and on top of her figuring out why her kid has always been really cagey around spaghettis for the last 3 decades she tells me what really happened. 

So on that night, a man tried to break into our house through the front window. It was just my mom, and her kids so she did what she felt she had too and shot him in the head. He’d been wearing a helmet, which landed on the floor under the window.

Now I just want ya’ll to put yourselves in my moms shoes for a minute here. This woman has just taken a human life. The trauma of that- the instant agony, the panic, the guilt, the fear- all of it hitting her at once, her only solace the knowledge that her children are safe. She protected her daughters. No matter the cost to her soul- her children are safe.

Then she looks up and sees her six year old staring at the inside of this mans head before saying “Are you gonna eat all that?”

Well, thanks for tearing my heart out all over again. This is beautiful. Dexter and Saracen deserved some closure.

Me writing fanfic in 2020? More likely than you think.  I wrote a short fic about Dexter and Saracen in seasons of war so if you guys would give it a read that would be very nice thank you. I haven’t written fic in years so let’s hope I’ve remembered how to write
