I just completed a very stupid busywork assignment ahead of the deadline and instantly understood why I don’t do my work on time. It didn’t feel good. It felt like nothing. Instantly I understood: I did not have to do it. The question was: why did i even do that. The truth was: I just invented extra work for myself by believing that the assignment was real and doing it. And this is how I realized something about my usual practice of submitting things late: it is thrilling. I hadn’t noticed this before because it was also so stressful, and because everyone lied to me and said you should do your work on time, but having just tried that, I realized what was missing. The awareness of being real. The thrill of the chase: I was behind now I’m less behind. I’m not doing work, I am smashing pumpkins. I am smashing gourds. I am the gourd which is smashed. I am the hole into which the heartbeats are planted. Way down. This hole I put myself in wasn’t deep enough and I’m climbing out right now. There is something real. Way down. That’s real. There’s nothing real about staying in motion to prevent them from digging a hole underneath you. Because the ground and horizon is flat and goes on forever I cannot even tell I am moving forward. It is like dying to me, it is worse. I become a ghost still alive. Where is my hole. The worst thing you can do to yourself is not go into a hole. It is a lie that it’s better to tread water than constantly be in a state of drowning and trying to swim to the surface. The world around you contains nothing at all and everything will stay exactly the same and terrible so if you can’t make it better it is imperative that you make it worse. Change or die. Disturbance IS presence. Serenity IS explosion. Use your shoes like sharpened scufflehoes. Your heart is a bomb you must never defuse.

Random thought: Zi Wei is named after the crape myrtle which bloomed when she was born. She was born in the eighth lunar month which is basically September. Do crape myrtles bloom differently north of me because where I am crape myrtle was in bloom for like four weeks of May and by end of June it's mostly gone.

I mean Zi Wei did say the year she was born, the crape myrtle around her house bloomed unusually late but two months late for such a delicate flower is very unusual.

Basically, this is a metaphor? 😆

“I can’t remember the last time the sky was so clear,” She began, carefully watching the sea of stars as they reflected on the pond’s ripples, “It’s stormed so much recently… and I was growing tired of being locked in my study.”

It was after a moment of drawn-out silence that the young princess realized Link was hardly listening. By all means, he would have liked to, but a tempting slumber had caught a hold of him first. The princess flopped back down beside him to nudge him awake.

She whispered his name once. Then spoke it. Then, she grew rather impatient and poked him with a cold strawberry. “Wake up, Link! Don’t you want to look at the stars with me? That has to be better than whatever boar you’re dreaming about chasing.”

Here's a little snippet from my WIP for Zelink Week ( @zelinkcommunity)! It will be a 7-chapter fairytale centered around an original version of Zelink! ✨️ I'll be drawing them a LOT once the fic is posted. :)

¨༺ ~ ◈ ° ◈ ~ ༻¨

It was then that something struck Link; it struck him swiftly and painfully, right in his chest. He realized that, at some point in the years he knew Zelda, something had taken root in his heart. And, perhaps at that moment— or perhaps even earlier— it had burst into a storm of blossoms like none other.

Zelda is 11 years old and can only hope, when she sees the young knight in training, that maybe they can be friends. [For Zelink Week 2024, theme “sealed fate”]

Word Count: 4000

Because she wants a friend, she wants to say. Not a few minutes of conversation with somebody in her father’s employ. Not a formal greeting with someone who can never address her as anything other than her title. But someone she can talk to. Someone she can confide in, about how awful and uncomfortable the water in the cathedral is, or share excitement with about some of her more recent biology lessons. To go out onto the castle grounds and share a meal with, like the characters in Molli’s books.
