The Pillars Of The Earth - Tumblr Posts
I’m going to build a little monastery just here, with a chapel and a hostel, so that in future no traveler on this stretch of road will ever have to spend a cold winter’s night sleeping in the open air. I’ll dedicate the hostel to the memory of my mother.

In addition, Brother Timothy was writing a history of England, although as he had begun with the creation of the world Philip was afraid the old boy might never finish it.

Philip was skeptical. There was a difference between the way God worked and the way Jack worked, and this had the hallmark of Jack. But Philip remained silent.

No need for exorcism here, father. It’s just a family reunion.

Waleran accepted his homage but did not wallow in it: he withdrew his hand after a moment. It was power itself, not its trappings, that Waleran loved.

But there were so many dead that it seemed like a town of ghosts. Every family had lost at least one member: a child, a mother, a husband, a sister. The people wore no badges of mourning but the lines of their faces showed grief as starkly as bare trees show winter.

“And I suppose that when the circuitor made me forgo my dinner, that was for the same reason.” “Exactly. A way to humiliate you in front of the monks. I suspect that both moves backfired, by the way: neither reproof was justified, yet you accepted both gracefully.

“I refuse to pretend to be an angel. All right, I won’t stay here-I have to go back to the forest anyway. But we must be straightforward with the brothers. We’re asking them to elect a fallible, imperfect man, who will need their help and their prayers.” “Tell them that!” said Milius enthusiastically. “That’s perfect-they’ll love it.”

New fandom, new fanfiction
My brain: "U know what u need?"
Me: "Some peace and quiet? Dopamine?? A will to live???"
My brain: "Nah, hyper fixation on some silly monks and all and what could be!"
Me: "... Oh shit fam, u r so right!"
Or, to put it in other words: I have acquired a new fandom to hyper-fixate on and already started making way too convoluted and overachieving plans for a series of stand-alone fanfictions and wanted to (not so subtly) promote myself because, y'know, shamelessness on Tumblr and all.
Anyway - if you too won't be left alone by the thoughts of "Yes, but then WHATTT" when playing "The Pillars of the Earth", you might want to take a look at this teeny tiny clusterfuck of what-ifs and headcanons (more or less in character, if I dare say so myself). Oh look, there's already a first part!
Sooo - drop by! Let me know what you think! Or don't! And now, before I embarrass myself: Bye!
