Dann riß ich mich wieder zusammen, auch weil eine einsam lachende Person etwas Verzweifeltes an sich hat.
Die Stadt der Träumenden Bücher - Hildegunst von Mythenmetz (übersetzt von Walter Moers)

10+ reasons to ship Optimus Yarnspinner/Homuncolossus
Homie’s incessant stalking from day one Opti fell into Unholm.
The first adjective Opti thought of seeing Homie for the first time was “lovely.”
Homie cooked every single meal for Opti while Opti was crashing in his house.
Homie interrupted himself half way through a story to ask considerately whether he’s being boring.
Opti considerately said no even as he was bored.
Homie and Opti bickering like 12-year-olds.
Homie encouraging Opti by saying, “We’ve already come a fair way and you’ve coped pretty well so far.”
Hearing Opti beg makes Homie smile.
Opti would go down on his knees for Homie. “If any word could sound as if it were down on its knees, it was the ‘Please!’ of mine.”
Opti said “Looked at in the right way, he’s really quite handsome.” for Homie to hear when he’s not in sight.
Finishing each other’s sentences.
Opti crying when Homie was going to die, but stopped when he sensed that Homie was happy and free at last.
“I recognised his beauty, the beauty of a wild untamed beast.” “His face had a certain bizarre beauty.” “I was beginning to develop an affection for this paper monster.” “I lay there for a while, panting and shivering. Then I saw that Homuncolossus was bending over me.” “I could only marvel at his inexhaustible ingenuity.” “I vaguely remember that Homuncolossus appeared from time to time and bullied me into eating a little food.” “You carried me the rest of the way? For two whole days?” “What won’t I believe? I’ll believe anything you tell me!” “I sobbed unrestrainedly, and Homuncolossus had to support me for a while.”
“And you’d come to feed me once a day, they way I feed you?” “I’d never been so close to you before. You must have been able to smell me.” “I’ve had to force-feed you. You never sleep, you never wash. You stink like a pig.” “I’ve never pretended to you, never lied to you about my intention.”
Is anyone from the Zamonia fandom still alive? I’ve loved Zamonia since elementary school but I hadn’t really thought of making fanart since, well, now! So there you have it, I hope someone’s here to see it.
I love Hildegunst and Homuncolossus’s every interactions! Dramatic Idiot Writer meets Dramatic Deranged Writer.
It's 3 am here in my country but I just came up with something hilarious
Imagine if Homuncolossus' name was like... John or something. Just the most basic white name you can imagine.
Like.. Homuncolossus, the dark bloodthirsty monster of the Bookholm catacombs, the dreaded and renowned Shadow king Steve
hildecolossus still has me in a chokehold after years
