Captin' O' These Ships

"Too long ago, too long apart
She couldn't wait another day for
The captain of her heart"
_Double


 Naye! I'm not talking about those sailing vessels. Though i've used their imagery here symbolically in this blog post.
 This writing flows along the veins of Game Of Thrones and the tributaries of A Song Of Ice And Fire. Aye! A man is a fan of the volumetric tomes and the killer tv series adaptation.
 Halt! If thee is one of those vehement book version fanatics or those bigoted tv version frantics who rivals the Isis extremists in their close minded idiocracies - Stay The Fuck Away From This Blog! Or as The Hound would call you  lots - Cunts!
 I am not here to please and appease any of you. You're interested to read this? Do so at your pleasure and leisure. You don't like it? Get lost and read something else like the label of your favorite ale. But piss me off with some puny dimwitted remarks or comments? I will feed you to the fires of R'hllor. For the night is dark and full of idiots.
 The ships i'm talking about are relationships. More like the fondness of millenials nowadays to marry the names of couples or loveteams. So if i were to ship the relationship of Romeo and Juliet, it would be as RomLiet or JulMeo. You follow?
 In this article, i will be shipping 3 combinations of possible couples from the Game Of Thrones that i want to have romantic involvement with each other. For those who already have ship teams, be forewarned. Thou may cry spoiler or prophecy but I am the Captain Of These Heart Ships therefore My Word Is The Law.
 These G.O.T. characters that i will be launching the relationships of will be named the same way real ships are named. Part of a character's name will be married to part of the character's name that i'm matching her/him with. With a reinvention of the initials "S.S." before their ship name which iam originally coining as 'Suggested Sweethearts'.
 Let sail their ships across the Seas Of Romance and ride the swells of the Oceans Of Love.

  Name of Ship: S.S. JORNERYS/DAENERAH [Alternatively JorAny/DanyRah]
  Ship Words: In Fire And Blood We Stand
 ⛵ As much as other shippers would violently object, i am supporting this May-December affair. I prefer Jorah Mormont for Daenerys Stormborn than Jon Snow or that manwhore Daario. Her match with Khal Drogo was fire on fire. In her twilight years or even after she forgoes the accursed Iron Throne to be seated by others who she thinks maybe worthy of it, Jorah would be fit to be her life companion and lover. Aside from the fact that Dany looks like his former wife, she could cuddle her Bear Jorah unto a hibernation of peace and quiet. Covered with the honey of love and embraced by the man who adores her completely.

  Name of Ship: S.S. ARQEN/JA'RYA
  Ship Words: Valar Morghulis As Winter Comes/All Men Must Winter
⛵ Ah, another pairing that may scrape the onion-skinned morality of parents and hypocritical moralists. Because they dread this Teacher-Student/Master-Apprentice affair that Arya Stark and Jaqen H'ghar represents. In my raven's three eyes, the danger in this romance is not the age difference but their trade which is assassination. The love tension between the two may just be smothered by the blood they spill - one for vengeance and one for duty to the Many-Faced God. Unless Arya and Jaqen elope and are able to detach themselves from the Faceless Men. Still, i am for this Nabokovian Lolita evoking loveteam. Love is a poison that truly shanks the deepest. Amor Morghulis!

  Name of Ship: S.S. JONYANNA/LYAJON
  Ship Words: Here We Stand When Winter Comes
⛵ How often it is that men and women search for an ideal partner whose peg is their own father or mother. Not only will Jon Snow be honoring her mother with the same namesake of a potential future bride in Lyanna Mormont of Bear Island but also with the same straightforwardness and fierceness. Rhaegal and Lyanna Stark's love may have been cut short but Jon and Lyanna Mormont may resume it along with a new dynasty. Winter may have come but here they stand. The Wolf and The She-Bear together forever in all the Winters to come.
❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦
R.S.[Raven Script]:
 Indeed i promised 3 Love Ships to be launched but 2 more ships are docked in the bay of possibilities. One is the S.S. JONSA/SAJON and the other is the S.S. SANSOR/SANDOSA.

~ Name of Ship: S.S.JONSA/SAJON
⚓ Based on recent events in the tv series, there maybe an underlying and unspoken attraction between the two or atleast one of them is attracted. Since its normal for siblings of the Targaryen line, why not first cousins. And if Sansa is emulating Cersei for her own retaliation, she will do so by any means necessary. Not only did Sansa made matching/complementary outfit for both of them to represent House Stark but she may be fashioning herself and Jon to be King and Queen. The 2nd episode "Stormborn" of season 7 even showed Sansa to be very reluctant to let Jon go to Daenerys. Which includes the little She-Bear Lyanna Mormont almost pleading to Jon to not go. As well as the obvious looks and glances she gives to her King during counsels that may affirm the 3rd ship above.

~ Name of Ship: S.S. SANSOR/SANDOSA
⚓ Referring to the books, the tv show may yet utilise this in case Sansa meets up again with Sandor Clegane. The Hound was her hero at the mob riots in King's Landing. Besides he has a crush on her. This is a classic "Beauty and The Beast" form of love-shipping. Plus wolves and hounds share a common genus.

Time Of The Season Two... Re-Exorcise

What's your name? (What's your name?) [Nowonmai]
Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?) [Pazuzu!]
(He rich) Is he rich like me?
Has he taken over... (Has he taken over...) [Your body? Your soul?]
Any time (Any time)
(To show) To show you what you need to live?

(Tell it to me slowly) Tell you what
(I really want to know)
It's the time of the season for... re-exorcism.

                                                         _Altered lyrics from The Zombies's "Time Of The Season".

 I originally intended to write something related to the Game Of Thrones telly series to follow the one i did re The Exorcist tv series. But changed my mind at the last minute to pick up the latter at the heels of the good news that Fox Tv will renew said series for a season 2. Hence the lyrical intro from The Zombies's "Time Of The Season" aptly altered to fit the subject of this blog post.
 Right after the season 1 ender of the show, fans and followers started the 'Red Feather Movement' to let the producers and creators at Fox know that they want more of The Exorcist. Which begat the influential hashtags - #RenewTheExorcist and #ExorcistCongregation. To which i eagerly joined and supported the other La Exorcistas via tweets and re-edits of captured images. And the power of the fans did compel them to renew it. 

 For in the wake of behemoths like the Game Of Thrones, Stranger Things, et al. Pazuzu will not back down. This series is cocked and loaded with weapons and ammos of its own. The plots and twists are dripping bloody like the eviscerated entrails of a sacrificial lamb at God's altar or of a goat's at the Devil's chantry. It is uniquely independent of its maternal movie of the same namesake yet shares the same hellish helix of a dna.
And i will repossess right here and now the initials D.N.A. and re-acronym it as Demonic Nucleic Acid just to stamp it with a seal of authority and approval. The cast of actors and actresses are a league and legion unto themselves.
Bible thumpers and serpent handlers can't hold holy water to the brand of fire that The Exorcist brings. I daresay it is armed to the teeth and gritting to bite.

 The scenarios i'm about to enumerate are ideas that i myself would pitch at Fox for The Exorcist's second season which other fans/followers may share or agree with.

   As revealed, Angela Rance is the adult Regan MacNeil. If so, they could feature some of the lost years where she's in denial that Pazuzu once again is hovering around her. For it has been documented that possessions and exorcisms tend to have a resurgence even after the invading entity has been cast out.
 
  Marked by the Demon as his sow, Angela's(Regan) daughters will now be his piglets. Casey Rance who had the first ordeal during season 1 with Pazuzu gaining interest on her sister Kat's body as well thru their mother's repossession. Maybe a girl on girl action between the siblings under the influence of the Demon? 👅👿
This time it will be Kat Rance's body that Pazuzu will use to get at Regan and the family she created as Angela.
Synching with the wisdom that Fr. Merrin imparted - that the real target of possession is not exclusive to the invaded body but to the persons around her/him who are victims themselves. It is the Demon's aim to overwhelm them with pain and misery so that they will lose any semblance of hope and faith.
  ✜ They could expound more on the lives of both Fr. Marcus and Fr. Thomas before the exorcism of Casey. Like what is the extent of the training of the boy-exorcists that the church org picked? Or is Fr. Thomas's pre-priest life parallel or comparable to Fr. Karras's? A line from the original film ticks near my ears relating to this - "Why you did this to me Dimmy?"
The show could perhaps showcase other forms of exorcism from other religions or cultures outside Catholica Romanus. That way it will be educational and at the same time will not alienate viewers of other religious denominations because exorcisms has been stereotyped as a Christian happening/s only. 
   Mentioned in a prior blog post, i suggest a detective/inspector akin to Lt. Kinderman of the book and film. In fact one who may be a kin to him, a grandson or a granddaughter with the same deductive mind and witty lines as him. I believe this addition will give more depth and texture to the ongoing and evolving canvas of The Exorcist tv series.

  Before i forget, i give props to the commendable actors and actresses of the show. I already gave one to Miss Hannah Kasulka in my previous blog post. This time its for her co-stars who provide the cohesion to the story and adhesion to the palpable weather and temperature of The Exorcist. 

   ↬ Brianne Howey's role as the elder sister(Kat Rance) serves as a counter balance to her younger sibling's afflicted state though she herself suffers her own plate of troubles and confusion. Miss Bri herself is quite the actress in the series.

   ↬ Ben Daniels's execution of a gun slinging and God toting exorcist is powerful and intense. He's like a Dirty Harry priest packing a .666 Magnum with Latin Oraciones for bullets to blast a Demon's head clean off.

   ↬ Alfonso Herrera as a young priest reluctantly turned greenhorn exorcist is another must watch of the show. This Mexican actor's performance is like a Mezcal that needs to be drinked in sips and gulps. He has a wide range of characterizations too. My sister and i liked him and his work in Sense8.

   ↬ Robert Emmet Lunney as Pazuzu in the flesh is captivating and convincing. His portrayal does not even need a prosthetic of horns and forked tail to tell you that a Demon is acting in the house. He is that good as the King of the Wind Demons.

 To cap this blog-xorcism[D.2K17], i think it Warrants the lyrics - "I saw red...when i opened up the door...i saw red."

⭄ P.S.[Pazuzu Script]: You may have noticed the word "Nowonmai" in the modified lyric intro above? *"Nowonmai, from the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty, is the reverse English for "I am no won (one)". It is the response the demon gives to psychiatrist priest Father Damien Karras when he asked for his name. Much of the dialogue in that scene from the demon is reverse English."
*"The gibberish she mouths constantly is found to be English, backward. Nowonmai, the name of her demon, is “I am no one (won);” Dogmorfmocion is “I come from God.”"
 Does it not ring a bell Throners? When Arya Stark was training at the House Of Black And White, she was often questioned as to who she was and was expected to answer "I Am No One".

 Ego Te Absolvo.

The Rite To Exercise Exorcism

 "Kiss the hunter of the green vest
  Who has wrestled before
  With lions in the night
"_The Soft Parade[The Doors]

  How's that for an Ost lyrics intro for this post about ''The Exorcist''? I'm about to spew my mind on one of my top fave titles in books and films and now tv. By spew, i mean spewing my reactions on both film and tv version - comparatively like what Regan did to that pea soup-green-oatmeal-cereal glob that she spat the priests with. Have those blessed stoles, tissues and hand towels ready in case you need to wipe some residues from this blog-exorcism.
 Before i proceed with this exorcism, you maybe curious as to what is the connection of my intro lyrical quote on lions and its image? In some cultural/spiritual beliefs, a lion embodies Evil attributed to their ferocity and brutal countenance. And to refresh your memories, of the animal sounds which includes a steer and a pig that Regan mimics under possession - one of them is of a lion's. She also had a drawing of a winged lion pinned on a wall.
 Thank God my Mom opened me to the world of books at an early age or i wouldn't have met the authors and titles that i liked and will still like.🙏 So when i got hooked on books, i started to hunt and discover titles and authors on my own. Among those i acquired and collected(as i only collect those that i exceedingly like or i deem to be of superlative work) is none other than William Peter Blatty's 'The Exorcist' in its unholy purple-advent paperback version. I have read and collected all 3 Exorcist novels.
 To date, the title comes in a sweet unholy trinity - in books, in film and most recently on tv as released by Fox. I have no qualms re the variations, tweaks and interpretations that they did in both the film and tv adaptations. Whether one came close or not to the original version is of no import to me. They have sustained the prevalent atmosphere in and around the exorcism itself to my satisfaction.
 I am glad that Regan's character played by Linda Blair does not look like Casey Rance's character as played by Hannah Kasulka. While the former evoked a 70's child innocence before the possession, the latter has that sort of millenial child's fragility to her or atleast that is what she projects for her Casey role. Aside from her acting chops, Hannah Kasulka has versatile eyes that when combined with mood lightings and makeup can achieve a range of personas - fierce, haunted, playful, tormented, etc.
 A favorite highlight of mine, in the book and the film is Regan's stabbing of her vagina with a crucifix while in a demonic voice spits the lines "Let Jesus fuck you!". Some have captioned it to be a kind of masturbation/mutilation thing. But to me, that scene is about the deflowering/devirginization of Regan by the Demon/s via the crucifix symbolizing Christ hence the lines. In a metaphorically parallel and satirical symbolism, it can stand for how frequently religions, representative of faiths and God or the Gods themselves fuck us(humans) up? With their holier-than-thou and double standard shenanigans.
 The tv adaptation did homage to this sexually charged scene in a more subtle manner. Whereas Regan utilized a crucifix for her defloration, Casey for hers made use of a curling iron.
 Which made for an equally electrifying and sizzling salute to Regan's context of that act. I am jestingly wondering if the production team thought that she wasn't curly enough down there?😈Ignosce Mihi Ms. Hannah?😟
 Another spotlight that i'm fond of and not only mine but a lot of others as well, was the head twist that Regan did. That scene got imprinted on the minds of people and may even be fossilized like a trilobite in their imaginations and literally inside the walls of their skulls. Thus, its iconic and cult following thru the years.
 The tv approach tipped its hat by having Casey twist her left hallux or big toe. If you've seen a lot of films/docus on the Occult, you may have observed that the fingers and toes are subtly depicted to be an object or indicator of infestation by the malevolent. Particularly the left hemisphere of the body oft alluded to the Left-Hand Path
 Now to the Demon. Chief in the requirement to an exorcism is acquiring the demon's name/s in order for it to be cast out. I've watched the 8th episode a night or two ago and no name is in the offing. But i believe it still carries the name tag of Pazuzu.
  He[Pazuzu] is said to be the harbinger of diseases and pestilence. The 1973 movie showed his human form in flashes and glimpses as a derelict or a frightening visage in the black shadows.
With red rimmed eyes and yellow rotten teeth. While his human incarnate in the current tv is a balding and aging man garbed in a tattered suit who has a dirty epidermis. Add to that his sickly pallor, Periodontitis and same nicotine stained teeth.



 As for both versions, the clerics in the tv adaptation are not clones of the original film. They do share some commonalities such as the glaring generation and cultural gaps between the holy tandems.
 They reflect and complement each other - as a veteran is to a rookie or as a master is to a pupil. What Fr. Merrin(Max von Sydow) is to Fr. Karras(Jason Miller) and so Fr. Marcus(Ben Daniels) is to Fr. Thomas(Alfonso Herrera).
 It is my wish to see my favorite detective/inspector in the book and film. I desire that they reprise the role of Lt. Kinderman(Lee J. Cobb) or someone akin to him and showcase his witty deductions. They could inject a like character in the second season.

 I am loving how the episodes of this first season is going. A number of reveals and POVs from/of the characters will surely pique the interests of those who have not seen or followed the series yet. And i am very hungry as a wolf at the door for more!
 In the film, the priests Merrin and Karras chanted and threw these lines at the Demon - "The power of Christ compels you". Holding to the tradition of that iconic exorcism, i have devised my own Exorcist Mantra that you can freely use to exorcise your own demons, doubts, fears and whatever ails your heart, mind and spirit.
 Here it is:

 Let The Power Of FREE WILL Compel You... To Make Your Own Choices And Decisions That Is Not Influenced Nor Dictated By Any Person, Religion and Entity(Human or Non-Human).
 Let The Power Of WISDOM Compel You... To Be Guided By It And Justly Weigh Things Accordingly.
 Let The Power Of INTELLIGENCE Compel You... To Be Free Of Ignorance, Gullibility, Bigotry And Brainwashing.
 Let The Power Of RAW FAITH Compel You... To Be Delivered From Zealotry, Blind Following And Shoved Down Beliefs. 
 Let The Power Of Your HEART Compel You... To Feel For Yourself And For Others Even If It Seems You're Numbed Already To The Callousness Of Humanity. 

  Ego Te Absolvo.
  In Nomine Serket et Serketses et Scorpius Sancti.

My First Blog...Blag!...or Gag

 First off the bat or in this case - first off the scorpion's tail is a bit of explanation re the title name of my blog here for those who will read this post and future posts or those who will come across my blog writings[whether accidentally or intentionally].
 My blog is titled D' Wordz of Serketses. The capital D stands for the initial of my proper name while the Serketses is my online artist screen name. Don't fret because i am human and not a bot. Though if some idiot incites me, i can be brutally colder than a cyborg. What model you ask? T-F*ckin' 9000 biatches! Imagine a Terminator borg/droid with an Adamantium skeletal system, a circulatory system running on Nuclear Absinthe juices and the brain system of Dr. H. Lecter.
 But back to the name, Serketses means "Son of Serket". Serket being the Egyptian Scorpion Goddess whose very name means "She who causes to breathe". 

 Additionally, Wikipedia says that "Serqet /ˈsɜːrˌkɛt/ (also known as Selqet, Selket, Serket or Selcis) is the goddess of fertility, nature, animals, medicine, magic, and healing venomous stings and bites in Egyptian mythology, originally the deification of the scorpion."
 If you've read this far in this post, it will be obvious by now that yours truly is a full blooded Skorpion. Not just the Zodiac sign but all that it entails. Thusly, this here first blog of mine also serves as a Forewarning to one and all that you are treading the scorching sands of my wordings or wading the tempestous ocean of my mind. Don't say i didn't warn ya'!
  All or anything that you may read here is me Speaking My Mind unless and otherwise indicated that they are not so[quotes, phrases, etc.]. If you are looking for technical writing or grammatical expertise, get the F*ck out of here. I am not after those things and they are not my priority. My aim here is to blog whatever my mind wants to express at any moment. Sort of freestyle, free-thought and impromptu writings, musings, rants and ravings. Not only am i busy with other things being an artist but i can't ask my Mother to proofread my posts because she's got her hands full as well. She might just smack me in the head if she reads my posts here. 😰 Besides, i don't need to show proof to anyone in order for them to read my posts. They'll read or they won't.
 Blog topics/coverage may range from anything under the Sun, under the Moon, under the Bridge or under the Rug to anything/anyone that catches my fancy or fancies my whims. But definitely i will include areas of my interests - Arts, Music, Flicks, Tv, Books, other Artists, Persons/Personalities, etc.
 Ergo, if my posts in mine blog is your poison ... i urge you to drink lustily! And if not, find your poison in some other blog. I won't say that i am "Straight Outta Compton"[though i like the track] 'coz they're for lame b*tch ass n*ggaz. However, my writings may feel like its Straight Outta Tartarus at times.  
 Hopefully, my posts elicit a grin or two and some comments too. Just make sure that your comment/s is/are worth my while. Refrain from doing stupid and unnecessary comments aimed just to irate or senselessly provoke moi. I will not let that pass. To quote Public Enemy - "You're Gonna Get Yours" and Judas Priest - "You've Got Another Thing Comin'".
 So if you have a queasy stomach and cranium, remove yourself from my Blog. Or else my words will feel as if an Iron Palm struck your mandible ...and you start to Gag while staggering ...and suddenly your KO'd - Blag!
