Mods, I’m very sorry; I guess I will be writing in this fandom for a while, so it’s likely best to give it a tag after all.

Length: 100 words
Content notes: mention of canonical (to the film version) minor character murders/non-graphic amputation, past main character self-harm, and thoughts that could be interpreted as suicidal ideation
Author notes: The title is from AND AFTER YOU ALL BECOME RETICENT SHADOWS by Yukio Tsuji, and Dreaming of Death by Tian Yuan, both translated by William I. Elliott and Kazuo Kawamura.
Summary: The river sequence, revisited.

buttonsbeadslaceI was a polite student and didn't derail class discussion about grammar to say this, so dear readers, you get it instead. A while ago in Spanish class we were talking about ways of expressing accidental or uninentional actions, and how Spanish uses a specific passive voice type of form for this, unlike English where you have to be much more direct about who did the accidental action.
The closest English equivalent I can think of for the Spanish phrases that we were learning is "The computer broke on me." The Spanish phrase has the object that got damaged doing a reflexive action to itself, and the person (who perhaps dropped it, or pressed the wrong button, or in some other way did break it, just not on purpose) appears as an indirect object of the verb. Us English speakers in class agreed that English does indeed do this very differently, since 99% of the time we would just say "I broke it," and that passive voice is very rare in English.
What I did not say in class is that there's one major exception to this rule, that's actually very common if you know where to look. If you want to see the passive voice in English used to downplay someone's responsibility for some negative action, you need look no further than headlines about police officers.

anneapocalypseIt's been a while since I posted a wip! Real life has been throwing a lot at me, and my brain has been sort of meandering between projects. In between outlining and canon review for the next FFXIV longfic, I have also been working on some one-shots, of which this is one. I've really been itching to write some more about Y'shtola as she's become a bit of a favorite, and replaying ARR not long ago has had me thinking about scenes that would be interesting to explore from an NPC perspective, particularly that period after the Garlean attack on the Waking Sands when Alphinaud has the WoL going after Garuda instead of looking for survivors. Though this takes place in Ariverse, she is not present. CW for death and grief. Spoilers for the Heavensward patches.

(other rambling notes)
I originally was going to use axe instead of shovel but I wasn’t sure if that was too horror? But with such a short story, horror can everything so maybe this is worse? Anyway, it’s funny because the Wishies are so cute (or rather, intentionally kawaii aesthetic) with Wichu and everything else so little cabbages both makes perfect sense on a cute level, but of course anything cute can be horror too when you look at it from the other side 😂( Read more... )
