#BUT SHE LOVES HER KIDS

[hecate-spawn]

and when Idol said "I don't have any idea how I could love someone I can't seem to find what it signifies" and when it said "surely lying is the greatest kind of love" and when it said "I recall no one who loved me whole before and I've not been in love with anybody before. And now the lies that I'm making up I hope that one day they all become true and I keep wishing they do" and when Idol said "So sincerely what I am wishing for is to love each one of you with all my heart" AND WHEN IDOL, WHEN AI SAYS "Ah I said it at least. I know it's not a lie. These words: I love you "

GUYS I AM LOSING MY SHIT SO HARD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH EMOTION EVERY TIME THAT I SHOULD BE CRYING

Omfg I love AYASE so much for this because he created a whole ass character with lyrics and Ikura helped bring it to life with emotion.

I don't know a lot about Oshi no ko but I feel like I know AI personal like holy shit

I just keep losing my crap over "Ah I said it at least. I know it's not a lie. These words: I love you." Especially in the English version like holy shit. This song is so dark but Ai fucking telling her kids she loves them and it's not a lie, while stating earlier in the song she's never loved anybody before and no one's ever truly loved her and then saying she wants to love everyone holy fucking shit

I need to cry about this so much but I can't

What did this song do to me

I could be a good mother

[abd-appleboxdog]

FNAF movie Vanessa’s thoughts when meeting Abby..

And people say Karen would be homophobic. She might care about appearances, but she loves her children and wants them to be happy. I do think she knows that Mike loves Will and has known for a while.

when you know your son/little brother is gay but you don't want to tell them you know but you still want to let them know it's ok

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"

like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.

"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."

... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.

and i'd still keep writing.

i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.

i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley

"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"

and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.

it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.

you create because you're greedy.

I hope wicked 2 ends with an 8 1/2 minute long gratuitous lesbian sex scene with crying and handholding while fiyero politely waits outside. For the girls

Her.

[vampirehayfever]

something i genuinely will always love about fig's character is that she will always stand up for the outcasts or people who aren't considered "cool". like without even missing a beat fig immediately goes to play twister with mazey because ivy wanted to put her down for even suggesting it. it genuinely is one of the best parts of her character and i adore it so much.
