Aeron: "Men Fish The Sea, Dig In The Earth, And Die. Women Birth Children In Blood And Pain, And Die.

Aeron: "Men fish the sea, dig in the earth, and die. Women birth children in blood and pain, and die. Night follows day. The winds and tides remain. The islands are as our god made them."

Some scenes for the prompt "Home" for twoweeksoftheon

(The scene with Aeron hit me, when I reread. We often fault Theon for his homecoming, for failing to get to know the people and find allies first. But one of the first things he does on the Iron Islands is in fact ask for advice and information in full humility, from someone he remembers as potentially helpful. Aeron isn't.)

I love how over 90% of the Frankenstein Fandom decided to name Frankenstein's Monster "Adam Frankenstein" because he refferred to himself as the "Adam of your labours" at one point. Let's keep it that way.

"Do you not yet comprehend the wicked secret of the immortal? All age and die, save you. All rot and fall to dust, save you. Any child you bear becomes a crone and perishes before your eyes. Any lover withers and shrinks into incontinence and bent, toothless senility. While you, only you, never age. Never tire. Never fade. Alone. But after a time you’ll lose the desire for passion entirely, for connection with anyone. Like a muscle that atrophies from lack of use. And one day you’ll realize you’ve become like them. Beautiful and dead. You have become a perfect, unchanging portrait of yourself." -Dorian Gray, Penny Dreadful
