lil  ·  3679 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Self-Reflection Sunday: What text have you found satisfying to the Soul?

My mind is too full right now -- but I'll keep my soul open to see what writing satisfies it in the next while.

I must say, certain passages of Hubski/Hubskina by the ever-luminous eightbitsamurai were soul-satisfying, especially where one character kept the Outlander at bay.

    The battle was on. Lillian danced in the air, shooting off different elements from each of the books that twirled around her. The Outlander, however, was swift, dodging from place to place, but unable to land a hit using his swords. The Mutees could only watch as the two warriors fought, each attack sending shockwaves throughout the library.

    Before long, Lillian stopped her assault, hovering in the air, and out of reach of her assailant. “As fun as this is,” she says, “I have other things to attend to. Havires and Badger should be long gone by now. So, I will be taking my leave." The book floating in front of her began to spin in circles, and a glowing glyph grew below her feet. With a spark and a flash, Lillian disappeared.

It's soul-satisfying to be perceived as a bad-ass, as indeed I can be!
