f/f february: artemis & skadi

of course!!! i’m 100 years late on this (i apologize!! my memory is horrible!!) but here you go:

eden:

réka:

you’re not a liar; you’re a lie:

en’te ahk ta tihavan; en’te ta tihavo

in spoken hjelohk, repeating sounds are often collapsed down for the ease of the speaker, so en’te ta tihavo would likely be said as “en’ta tihavo” or “en’ta’havo” if the speaker was feeling particularly ambitious. collapsed sounds are more of a trait of native speakers than students of the language, so non-native speakers are easy to spot due to their stiffer/more formal speech patterns. 

bonus fun fact: the word for lie, tihavo, comes from the words for trust (tihirah) and recklessly (akhavota) 

your icon is actually in this character’s pinterest board! so providence has spoken, I've been saving her for you

what does it mean?

your edit is here!!

thrashing, clawing, tearing i’m bleeding his rain shreds my skin and bites my face i’m slipping 

there goes time tied to the throats of men 

who wanted divinity in their tongues 

but did not notice that their stomachs grew 

odd in the soil of disgraced palms. 

i saw but i did not speak and so the 

bones in my arms cracked  and brewed 

the shifting place in which god did not come

but the devil sat upright.  i was the river that 

held a chest of eyes , i could have saved but 

i made a bowl of lies and fed it to the 

watchers  turning them upon good men 

so that i could feel the low caresses of the 

mourning - star’s voices. 

vivienne duarte. (for @maskedlady) 

“ there’s always something left to lose. ”

thank you!!! it’s all under the cut
