Yeah lol I was just hoping there was like a quote in that excerpt that might be helpful. Wither is a rockin' name though. Like, crazy good.
Hey, guys, I cometh with a question.
Do you guys know any poetic words, phrases, terms, etc, referring to death? Stuff that's more neutral, or melancholic, something that acknowledges death as a necessity of life and deems it almost beautiful.
It can be from any language, so long as it carries the meaning.
For complete transparency: this is for the name of a faerie character who personifies death.
They describe themself as: "the leaf that is evicted from the tree. {T}he ageing bones of a feeble grandmother. {T}he rot that gathers on a dead animal, the bugs that feed on its carcass, and the entire process of death.
"In short, I am Dying."
But uh—that'd be a temporary name for her. I'm trying to figure out his "real name" so to speak. They're someone who takes joy in their reaper-like role and finds mortality (and mortals' attempts to escape it) entertaining. They find their own domain fascinating, but clearly a cause for others' suffering.
Just not hers.
Anyone have a word/name that carries those kinda connotations? Again: it can be from any language!
(i'd appreciate a reblog for visibility)
