was talking about how my young adult brain (ages 9-12) chose the weirdest things to remember. for instance, from the fairy bible in Artemis Fowl: 'ten times ten commandments there be, / they answer every mystery / cures, curses, alchemy, / these secrets shall be vined through me

tbf it is great. octosyllabic verse always has that kinda ritual/folkloric feel yummy yumm

if you're not a coward, like this thread and i will regurgitate the weird bits of: YA fiction, harry potter, the vicar of dibley, LOTR etc that my 9-12yr brain decided to indelibly print into my brain. else i can sing all of the SHrek 2 soundtrack on livestream as my gift to the
