I didn't read anything made with the GREAT prompt for today. will do tomorrow. So if there is any mind melt? Coincidence!

oh my Queen, superstition screamed Locke to me, and I may have overused that wikipedia link *wink*

I really like your drabble. I got kind of hung up on how none of those superstitious things would be on the island, so I'm really impressed you found a way to use that, and the "touch water" thing is a fascinating one.

I also like the icons. 24 is cool, and makes me think of the superstition about the birds at the Tower of London. 38 is too adorable for words.

[gottalovev]

thank you! I was really wondering what to do with that, as all of the superstitions I know are in those "not relevent on island" category too... glad you think it worked well the way I did it!

and thanks! I had fun playing with the black birds, and that scarecrow appeared in the search and I just had to do it! :)

I am a *very* happy Queen. :D

The drabble is beautiful; it's a great distillation of one of the things I love best about Locke - his connection to ritual and mystism. The 'touch water' belief is new to me, but so very fitting. It's almost elegant when compared with the clutter of his other, former beliefs. I think I'm going to carry this drabble around in my pocket for a while...I like it's shape.

And...WOW!!!!!!
It's a blackbird convention! I don't know which one to upload first. Well... prolly teh shiny one, since I just received so many.

I'm so conflicted about the lovebar... [But BOY do I love that you're making me that! Thank you so much!]I'm too sleepy now to make that decision - but *tomorrow* is another story.

Thank you so much! *smooches*

YAY! I am so happy that I made my beloved Queen happy with my little gifts! *beams*

*throws little stars in the air as confetti*

take your time for the love bar! and if you would like some adjustment on any icons, text, font, anything, tell me!

*smooch queen with very little decorum*

lol! 32 is so cocky and 38 so cute!
:)

and the drabble... I didn't know about touching water, either, but I liked that is different from the other superstitions, because those are impossible to happen on the island.

[gottalovev]

thank you darling! isn't it cocky? lol! that bird looks awesome, I think!

glad the drabble worked for you! ♥

Love the icons. Crows are one of my favorite birds. :) And great work with the drabble too, it's really good.

[gottalovev]

thank you dear! I really like those big black birds too. they are so smart :)

and thanks about the drabble, I've now seen that we had similar ideas about the theme!

I'm learning all sorts of new superstitions with this prompt, what's the water one then??

[gottalovev]

I think I learned several as well! :)

I've seen in the wikipedia link here

that

When a person goes out to hunt animals in the forest, the people who stay at home may not touch oil or water with their hands during the absence of their friend; for if they did so, the hunters would all be "butter-fingered" and the prey would slip through their hands.

I had never heard that before, but it seemed fitting for our hunter ;)

[siluria]

Oh god.... I've got bunnies from reading that now.

But yes, you're right, it's a very good superstition for Locke - well chosen!! :)
