aesc | made-up languages; Sunday Drabbleventures, NOW WITH HARDCORE DRABBLEOSITY!

Probably this is

insight2's fault, but while I was brushing my teeth last night it occurred to me that it would be interesting (one word for it) to develop an angelic language, now that Skanr has been my practice run for language construction. What I've been thinking of is a language that is Romance-like in the sense that angels use different forms of the copulative (to be) for the created world and the divine, to express the distinction they'd probably make between essence versus state. Or would they just see the entire world as a collection of things in a state of being or becoming or changing? And how would the near-infinite think about the bounded and contained, anyway? *ponders these things*

In similar SPN news, I wrote one more drabble, In terra aliena (In a Strange Land) for the

deancastiel drabble challenge.

SUNDAY DRABBLEVENTURES
By executive order, I have decided that on a semiregular basis (maybe every other Sunday, or however often I feel like it), I will contribute to weekend sloth and work avoidance by writing drabbles on request. When requests are open, I will note which fandoms I'm writing in; all you need to do is name your fandom, character/pairing, and prompt, and I will write 100 words of something. This post will be the prompt and response post, for purposes of consolidation.

.drabble prompts: Leave me a fandom/character/pairing and a prompt (SGA, SPN, Bones, and I guess I will take Merlin*) and I will see what I can do.

4.26 DRABBLEVENTURES NOW OPEN

In unrelated news, Iron & Wine's The Shepherd's Dog is completely awesome and I have been listening to it obsessively.

* = I like Morgana a lot and wish something heavy would land on Uther. And I like how Arthur is kind of a jerk, but basically a decent guy. Also, I am deeply amused and, dare I say it, somewhat gratified, by the fact that the incantation languages involve Old English. A lot of this is because the Anglo-Saxons really did not like teh magics.

*le sigh* Sunday is over, alas! Drabbles closed for now.

Dean doesn't know what's weirder, roadtripping through the South with Castiel, or discovering Castiel's addicted to boiled peanuts.

Or Castiel riding on the roof at odd intervals, which Cas says he "likes."

Or yesterday at Wild Wally's Gatorpark. Dean had snapped a photo of Cas holding a baby alligator. The phone had died, but when the screen flickered on, it displayed a picture of an alligator suspended in midair.

Dean mutters something disbelieving about weird-ass angels. A moment later, Castiel manifests himself in the passenger seat.

"Havin' a good time?" Dean asks.

"The best," Cas says, divinely sincere, and eats a peanut.

The image of Castiel riding on the roof will stick.

XD

Thank you.

I would dearly, DEARLY love to have someone draw that... the Impala zooming along with Dean behind the wheel and Castiel perched on the roof with his trench coat flapping out behind him \o/

Wah so cute!

Castiel riding on the roof...I like that image *hearts*
(picturing his invisible wings stretching and feathers ruffled in the wind...................:D)

Awwww, yis yis! He would be happy :D

Boiled peanuts! \o/

My mum used to buy us them when I was a munchkin.

Mmmm nom peanuts.

So. Adorable. The image of Castiel riding on a roof... and baby alligator... and peanuts, omg. Yes.

I love the mental image of Cas sitting on the Impala's roof with his trench coat flapping in the wind and his hair blown back ♥

And smiling like the ridiculous angel he secretly is, of course. ♥

Eeeeee I love this so so much!!

*smooooches you!!*

Love, love it. Of course Castiel would be on the roof. Needs to stretch his wings, right?

Of course of course! I love that thought :)

Possibly, when they get stuck in traffic outside Atlanta, Dean asks Castiel if he couldn't airlift them over the traffic jam :D

this is super cute!!! ♥ what great images :)

Thank you so much! Oh boys. And angels :D

Or Castiel riding on the roof at odd intervals, which Cas says he "likes."

My face is hurting from all the crazy smiling :)

Yayyy, that's what was intended! Oh Cas ♥

Oh my... words can't describe how much love I have for you right now.

♥♥♥ Awww, thank you! :">

For you : ) *hearts* Forgive the roughness hee

Omg, that is SO adorable. His wings and his trench coat and he's singing to himself \o/ *disintegrates*

...probably (secretly) humming Metallica with Dean in the Drivers seat lol

Castiel on the roof has been my happy-place image this week. <3! Along with the thought of Dean, irritably slamming his hand against the roof from the driver's seat and yelling, "Get off there, you freak! You'll scratch the paintwork!"

Yay, thank you so much! I do confess I like that image a lot myself... and of course Dean would have no idea what to do with Castiel's inexplicable fondness for hanging out on the roof :D
