“What art does is to coax us away from the mechanical and toward the miraculous. The so-called uselessness of art is a clue to its transforming power. Art is not part of the machine. Art asks us to think differently, see differently, hear differently, and ultimately to act differently, which is why art has moral force.”

— Jeanette Winterson (Winterson, 2006)

Reading some poetry by Rumi that he wrote to/about Shams… Remember, guys! All that gay stuff is just metaphors!

"I became his flute and started crying when his lips touched me. I was blindly searching for his hand while all the while he was holding mine."

Like I said… It's just a metaphor for friendship!

here’s a speculative idea that has me in a HEADLOCK. first, infectious cancers are a thing: clonal cancers which can be transmitted from individual to individual without the aid of an infectious agent like a virus. best known are the canine venereal tumor and the Tasmanian devil facial tumors, both of which spread through direct contact with mucosal tissue. in the case of dogs, fucking, and in the case of Tasmanian devils, biting the shit out of each other’s faces. a handful more exist in clams, and the clam cancer cells are known to be able to survive in seawater and spread without direct contact.

modern bony fishes (teleosts) evolved in and still mostly live in seawater; they’re entirely covered in mucosal tissues, their skin having no layer of dead epithelial cells on top; and many species live in groups and engage in cannibalism. the major histocompatibility complex is what mediates tissue/allograft rejection. It’s possible that the ancestral condition of hugely diversified MHC class I alleles in teleosts is because an elevated risk of transmissible cancers exerted a selection pressure that’s just absent in mammals.

we’ve never found a transmissible cancer in teleosts so this remains fully hypothetical (but have we looked? I do not know) but god damn is it cool. bony fishes might have rearranged their whole fucking immune systems against the threat of infectious cancers. I really do need to reread Xenogenesis sooo bad

i can't help but think that the most romantic organ Nigel could accidentally pull out of Alex would be the liver, not the heart. moreover, Nigel, with his precision, can do it. the liver is the most important gland of the body, without it you cannot live long; on the other hand, this organ is damn beautiful, but is easily mechanically injured. moreover, the liver is the hottest organ.

the opportunity to touch the warmest place in a person seems like a very romantic opportunity

the greater element of the forbidden and secret will take over the act of eating the liver. this, although usually part of a negative context, in a romantic light can be perceived as an act of deep connection between two people, in which the secret plays an important role. but this is already very dark romanticism.

wait omg i didn’t know you were an aftg fan ,,, do tell me ur thoughts on it

idek what i would say really.. it's a terrible series.. highly unrealistic.. several health code violations.. minimal understanding of how a psychiatric hospital probably actually works.. there's a flirtatious bordering on sexual harassment gay stereotype.. the only characters of color are likely also written with some racial stereotypes in mind.. the ableism displayed by the mc is insane in retrospect.. you could probably argue it's trauma porn.. i don't think the love anyone has for aftg can be even remotely rational like we all live knowing this is garbage and that we ate it up anyway bc the characters were so straight up bitchy every moment felt nothing short of exhilarating
