"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

- Edgar Allan Poe

[faded-mage]

I had Gareth read my favorite poem (To One in Paradise by Edgar Allan Poe) on cameo and as usual they were delightful. <3

Thou wast that all to me, love, For which my soul did pine— A green isle in the sea, love, A fountain and a shrine, All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers, And all the flowers were mine.

Ah, dream too bright to last! Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise But to be overcast! A voice from out the Future cries, “On! on!”—but o’er the Past (Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies Mute, motionless, aghast!

For, alas! alas! with me The light of Life is o’er! No more—no more—no more— (Such language holds the solemn sea To the sands upon the shore) Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree, Or the stricken eagle soar!

And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy grey eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams— In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams.

I have this problem called being a multishipper where I ship all of these

Soukoku/Dachuu/Chuuzai (Dazai and Chuuya)

Kunizai (Kunikida and Dazai)

Ranzai/Daran (Ranpo and Dazai)

Ranpoe (Ranpo and Poe)

And some of those are more popular than others, including crossovers of those characters beyond those ships, so I had the best idea ever

✨ POLYCULE ✨

Telltale Heart valentine

[ID: Animated gif of a pop up card. A man sits at a table with his head in his hand, glaring down at the floorboards. As the card's pull tab is pulled the floorboards open and close reveling a heart underneath. Text above the scene reads "Thinking of You"]

Midnight Pals: Maelstrom

Poe: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the descent into the maelstrom Poe: it's about a guy who survives a descent into the maelstrom Barker: why'd you just give away the ending? Poe:

Poe: look, you already know that he survived the maelstrom because the story of the maelstrom is being related to the narrator by the survivor Poe: it's what we call a frame story Barker: who do you think you are, mary shelley? Barker: queen of the fucking frame story! Mary Shelley: you watch your fuckin mouth, fucker

Poe: this maelstrom was just indescribably big and indescribably scary Poe: i can't even describe the emotion i felt when i saw it Lovecraft: now that's the way you do it!

Barker: have you been taking lessons from howard? Poe: well, howard's right Poe: sometimes things are scarier if you withhold information from the reader Barker: like the fact that the guy survived? Poe:

Barker: like that fact? Poe: Barker: sorry i don't think i heard you, could you say that again?

Lovecraft: hey edgar knows that i'm right! Lovecraft: sometimes something is SO SCARY that you just can't describe it King: well, i don't know about that King: i think if i had to imagine the scariest thing, i could describe it Barker: oh yeah steve? how would you describe the ultimate scariest thing? King: it would probably look like a clown

Poe: Lovecraft: Barker: Koontz: that's pretty scary! King: thank you, dean Barker: dean doesn't count

Adam Cesare: clowns are pretty scary Barker: and neither does adam! Thomas Ligotti: Barker: and we all know how you feel, tom

King: ok you don't think a clown is scary? Barker: not really Poe: sorry, steve King: well when i said a clown King: i mean i'm just getting warmed up King: that's not even it's final form

King: the scariest thing in the universe only SOMETIMES looks like a clown King: but it's actual form? King: get ready for this King: it's a spider

King: eh? eh? a spider? King: pretty scary, don't you think? Poe: Barker: Koontz:
