You Know The Furies Made Orestes Hallucinate His Way Through Silent Hill.

I am supposed to be reading the 1799 Prelude and one of its later (and much, much longer) revisions this week. I have been neglecting this somewhat, because dude, three essays, The Prelude can wait (NO, OBVIOUSLY UPDATING MY LIVEJOURNAL CANNOT, ahahaha oh dear I'm such a bad student), but I found this part at the beginning of the 1799 version and

[Lantern] It is possible as well that both find a common expression of guilt and of fear. The animal part of humanity still fears teeth and breath in the dark, that which is concealed, that which whiches not to be seen.

Okay, English Literature/Silent Hill is one thing, but if you write Geoffrey Chaucer in Silent Hill, I will come to your university and bone your dog. Don't make me do that, because Chaucer is far too awesome to be thrown into Silent Hill.

Do it with the pretentious poets instead, they'd probably like that sort of thing.

CANTERBURY TALES II: PILGRIMAGE TO THE LAKEVIEW HOTEL.

YES.

[dracothelizard]

A THOUSAND TIMES NO!

[rionaleonhart]

OH COME ON

IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME

THE PILGRIMS WOULD TELL THEIR LIFE HISTORIES ON THE WAY

AND THEY WOULD ALL BE LYING

AND WE WOULD GRADUALLY DISCOVER THE TRUTH AS THE TOWN RIPPED OUT THEIR DARK SECRETS FOR ALL TO SEE

YES

Also, William Wordsworth in Silent Hill could angst about plagiarising his sister's diary in his poetry. TRUE ACADEMIC FACT!

I read that as "The Furries Made Orestes Hallucinate His Way Through Silent Hill." My brain just imploded.

English Lit/Silent Hill may be the best thing ever, though.

I like the Orestes one. But not as much as the 'Richard Hammond loses Oliver, has a breakdown, and ends up in Silent Hill, being followed by the Pyramid Head Volvo' one. Because that's the best fic idea ever.

Well, I wouldn't be able to write it, because I've already sent Richard into Silent Hill once and doing it again would just be cruel. AND TOTALLY NOT JUST BECAUSE I AM RIDICULOUSLY SENTIMENTAL AND THE PREMISE ALONE MAKES ME WANT TO CRY. Woe!

[wolfy_writing]

Wait, when did you send Richard into Silent Hill.

And the premise makes me want to cry, too. But the story would be so brilliant!

In my Top Gear and Silent Hill crossover fic! WHICH IS IN topgearslash, OH DEAR, I SUPPOSE YOU'LL HAVE TO JOIN IF YOU WANT TO READ IT. WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, YOU MAY AS WELL POST THE RICHARD-HAMMOND-AS-A-LESBIAN-COUPLE FIC, RIGHT?
