#transformative writing

If we go with the theory that the Red-Eyed God mutates people into a physical manifestation of their "over-generalized" core values with the addition of blood traits, we can figure out how to reverse-engineer the creation of blood monsters in writing.

I mean, the God broke Simon down into some very basic traits. I can turn this into a formula:

[Blood] + [Circumstantial Physical Trait] + [Motive] = Monster

Simon's would be: [Blood] + [Tree Seed] + [Death] = The Bleeding Maple / Fleshy Blood Tree

The Eel's would be: [Blood] + [Multiple Individuals] + [Hunger] = Hivemind Predator

So, if *I* were to look at myself from the perspective of a pinhole (like the God does), what would I find? I'm doing my own psyche eval for you guys as an example on how to make a character in the ocean.

[Blood] + [Ehlers Danlos Syndrome] + [Obsession/Passion] = Flexible, holds on tightly to things... "jellyfish" with lots of hands?

Yeah! That's my blood monster! It would wrap itself around the submersible and not let go until the pilot suffocates to death, unless someone was able to literally cut them off of it. Oof.

One should not define the act of writing by alleging that it is a pure, divine act of the angels... There are epistemological, economic, social, racial, and class limits. I should, whenever possible, keep in mind the fundamental ethical requirement of knowing my own limits. I cannot authentically accept a professorship if I do not teach or if I teach by confusing or falsifying. In truth, I cannot teach what I do not know. I cannot teach clearly unless I recognize my own ignorance, unless I identify what I do not know, what I have not mastered.

Only when I fully know what I do not know can I speak about what I do not know, not as an object of knowledge, but as an absence that can be overcome. Thus, I can begin to know better what I do not know".

He seemed to be just another templar, but with a difficult personality akin to Wèi Yīng.

It was already impossible to complete his daily Inquiry with the templars as overseers —they took exception to a mage utilizing a ritual without strict instructions—, but now he had to add contradictory orders to the mix.

One minute he would be hammering stakes into the ground for tents, and then he would hear: “Mage, the Revered Mother wishes to see you.”

He only just exited conferencing with the chantry’s leader when the recruit was back at his side with another request: “The Gray Wardens require your expertise.”

He didn’t even have experience to share in this world. He was not an expert in the magical arts, no matter what the templars thought of his cultivation skills. His “expertise” was limited to strategizing based on limited magical research, knowledge of his own skills, and spars with templars.

Nonetheless, Lán Wàngjī agreed to the meeting.

And immediately afterward—

This poem is a transformed piece inspired from the source text She married me written by Nizar Qabbani, translated in to English. 

The transformation process involves a bit of background information from the inspired poet. When Nizar was 15 years old, his older sister 25 years old at the time, commit suicide because she refused to marry a man she did not love. This poem can be seen as a transformed piece from his sister’s point of view.
