My Own Ghost by scarletclarinet, literature

Literature

My Own Ghost

The Ghost, who appeared as a young girl, ran freely about the clearing, unmindful of the unyielding blades of grass that threatened her pale feet at each step, freezing at random intervals to stare at some motion or shape or creature that had caught her attention. She chattered on, exclaiming at each new thing that came into her sight. "Oh! Look! That tree – the one right over there with the roots and the knots – and the cloud above it – the one with all the whorls and spirals – they almost look like – but wait, the cloud's drifting, now it looks more like—oh, can you see these flowers? The colours – I wond

Cthulhu and Heaven

On the bus ride to Heaven (that is a weird phrase to type), Lewis is told by a fellow bus rider (whom Lewis calls the Intelligent Man) that all the houses he saw in Hell were imaginary, and didn't keep out the rain or anything. When Lewis asks what the point is of an imaginary house, the man replies: "Safety… at least, the feeling of safety." Lewis sensibly asks: "And what protection could an imaginary house give if there was any danger?" Imagination is no defense against reality. Believing you have a gun is no use against a wild boar, and wishing for an umbrella is no use against the rain. The dangers that the Intelligent Man is worrie

Logic and Theology by scarletclarinet, literature

Logic and Theology

What part does logic play in theology? Logic is the attempt to lay out the fundamental rules of the universe, not those which God laid down, e.g. physics and chemistry, but rather the rules by which even God must play, because it is literally impossible to go against them; there is no way to contradict them. Although perhaps it is a mistake to say that God must follow logic. Rather, logic follows God in the same sense that goodness and love do; they are a part of Him and proceed from Him, neither separate from Him nor containing Him. In any case, logic then reveals to us a part of God. It is a way for us to understand Him without any interp

Random Fanfiction

Merlin (BBC) Morgana smiled into the moonlight as she listened to Merlin settle on the grass beside her. "It's a long time since I've seen you so happy," he mused. "What's left to worry about?" she replied softly. "It's all over and done with, now." He hummed in agreement. "Camelot will, for good or ill, carry on without us. It'll have to. Everyone else is dead: Arthur, Morgause, Gwen…" She paused. "I am sorry about Gwaine. He didn't deserve that." Merlin did not reply. "What's there left to fight about?" she continued. "Camelot will fall, no matter what you do. Arthur will return, no matter what I do." They sat in silence, ponde

Justice and Power in the Warren Court

Justice for the Country, Power to the Court The first Supreme Court, nicknamed the Marshall Court for Chief Justice John Marshall, is rather famed, thanks to its lasting effect on American history. The Marshall Court truly established the judicial branch as one to be contended with. Few Supreme Courts that followed embarked upon the same path. Some courts remained in the background, and some went along with the policies of the rest of the government, but some courts took stands on what they understood as hallowed ground and defended the principles of the Constitution. Led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, the Warren Court was a court that follow

Success And Failure For Upton Sinclair

The Jungle: Success or Failure for Upton Sinclair The first decade of the 1900's saw many reforms come about that had been strived for and dreamed of for many years: referendums, secret ballots, and a president supportive of unions, to name a few achievements. Of course, the reformers of this time did not achieve so much by resting on the work of bygone activists. One of the foremost reformers – and one of the most renowned – was Upton Sinclair, an American novelist and muckraker. Sinclair's foremost novel was entitled The Jungle, a mixture of fact and fiction that aimed not to excel in literary style but rather to prompt reform. I

Poetry: Happiness for Deep People

One of the first poems I ever memorized was "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," by Robert Frost. It has a soft cadence, simple words, and on the surface the poem does not seem particularly profound or touching. Yet this poem speaks to me. I don't know where I'm headed in life, what I'll be doing in ten years or who my friends will be. Frost never tells who the speaker is, why he's traveling, or where he is. All that matters is that he is human; all that matters is that I am the same. The world of the poem is harsh. The snowfall and the dark evening could waylay the speaker, leaving him lost, confused, and frozen. The world I step into i

Small Things Matter by scarletclarinet, literature

Literature

Small Things Matter

I look after my friends. I can't do anything big, like pay for their new laptop or cure their cold, but I do what I can, and I know that counts. I may not spend every Saturday making quilts for the homeless, but I believe that listening to others, letting them know that someone cares about their well-being and their sanity, is just as significant. My friend R is stuck as the good child of her family. It drives her insane. Her older siblings are both rebellious, and so her parents focus on them and assume that R does what she's told. Being the good child doesn't come naturally to her, she has to work at it, and she's tired of being taken for

My Bio

Hi!

I'm an INTP student from Washington State who goes to school in Texas. (I'm not sure why. It's hot. I like rain...) I like lots of different nerdy fandoms, cool art, funny comics, and great writing. I've found that I'm not creative enough to write without a prompt, but I like the things I write for school, so that's most of my deviations.

I'm basically here to find awesome stuff on DW, Sherlock, Star Trek, Discworld, The Avengers, Merlin, and any other fandoms I fall in love with. I also post essays I write for school.

Please do not borrow any of my writing without asking first! I may give permission depending on circumstances, but ASK and give due credit.

I'm also scarletclarinet on Tumblr and scarlet clarinet on Personality Cafe.
