The Wanderer

Do not seek the elder spirits.

Their promises are sweet, passions running strong. They nestle deep within the woods, demanding the farthest treks for their attention. Invisible to the naked eye, they beckon from dead roots and dried bones. Formless vagabonds until a deal is struck. They patiently await the lonely, the angry, the weak, the desperate. They give their infinite kindness, in exchange for a finite vessel. They make homes out of their bargainers, ceaselessly clinging and endlessly caring to and for his every need. Every ailment cured, every misfortune reversed, every mistake corrected. They are eternal guardians, and powerful leeches. They cower behind thickets and bundles of flesh; bare their gifts and hide their malice, every seeker wasting away the second he is embraced. They ease the mind of their host until nothing is left of it. Loving, comforting him into a gentle sleep. They hide, they feed long after he is gone. Until his body grows feeble. Until his bones return to the earth.

Do not seek the elder spirits.

A little late, but it’s here as promised.

She never slept so soundly…

Until a welcome face invited her into her dreams. Until those tonics became a barrier against lurking shadows, and a door for her beloved. Reality slipped away at a bottle’s notice, giving way to meadows and ballrooms. Limitless worlds that she could only imagine, and a caring lover that she could only remember when the sun chased them both away. No night was entirely new, but something different in a long list of ways to spend it. A chat under fake stars, a walk through an endless forest, or time spent simply, spent in each other’s arms and drifting in a perpetual void. Dreams replaced her nightmares, every night a reminder of love. She no longer feared sleepless hours and waking nightmares. Instead, every night, she feared she’d never want to wake again.

Hello! It’s been a long time, but I’ve finally used this blog again. I’ve been in a rut for so long, I decided to do something in reference to NaNoWriMo and (attempt to) write alongside a list of prompts for the month. A thank you to @crassussativum for the list!

(Also I was busy yesterday and that’s why I’m starting on the second day. Hopefully I’ll be able to make up and do the first day tomorrow or at some other point).

She brought a different level of intensity since she was going against three people this time

She needed Sasha(and the other girls’) help to take out Tamina. But once that was done, it seemed like she wanted to deal with the remaining girls personally.

This is what we all wanted to see from her since she turned heel - brutality

She brought back some of her babyface moveset and but worked it as a heel

And her character work, especially towards the end of the match - absolutely incredible

The creativity right here >>>>

She also managed to make Lacey look like a believable babyface

(Kudos to Lacey as well for her character work. They seem to bring out the best in each other as far as highlighting each other’s strengths)

Bayley was really great throughout match. She started off confident, then obnoxious, then aggressive, then panicky (when things went wrong with Sasha), then vicious with Lacey all because she was desperate to keep her title. I really hope we get to see more of this side of Bayley.
