Also true

I like the gritty ones best

About emotions and

Events

Nobody talks about

At least not in

Polite company

I don't have

Polite company

My company is

Rude and scary

Raw and gritty

True and honest

Yes, Flowers and birds and trees

Also honest

But that's all

Polite company

Can tolerate

I get it

But

Space for the truth that hurts

Exists

I make room

The truth

You can't always articulate

Sometimes you don't know the words

Sometimes the horror

The cinders and broken glass

The maggots of it

Shut your throat

Cripple your lips

Poetry

Writing it down

Brutal eye contact

Say the things

That also

Need said

.

#poetry #also #flowers and broken glass #also true

Now I'm imagining Durge as a saint too, a living saint to the Bhaalists

What would your durge be the patron saint of, and what would their halo and saintly regalia and symbols be?

#dark urge #bg3 #Aunrae is the patron saint of familial murder #Her halo is golden with a massive vertical crack breaking it in two. She is often depicted weeping and cradling a bloody heart in one hand #A massive golden lioness sits at her side (a pack animal that still commits filial cannibalism)#Cyril is the patron saint of murder for fame or infamy #His halo is composed of blood red rays that blot out everything they pass over #He's depicted holding a bouquet of roses and waving to an imaginary crowd and often has a feathery ruff #Or peacock feathers embroidered on his clothes #Vesper is the patron saint of elaborately preplanned murders (and of getting away with it)#They're depicted with a finger pressed to their lips and a knowing smile #And either holding a sprig of foxglove flowers or wearing a crown of it and with either an actual snake or snake motifs on their clothing #Their halo is made of outward facing knives with a rim of broken shards of glass

I know what you are

#my next life as a villainess #hamefura #currently reading through the Verge of Doom manga!#unsurprised to say I hate Geordo even more in this timeline #I haven't seen enough of this Keith to form an opinion of him #though I'm already far more compelled by the broken family dynamic here than by the Weirdness in their relationship in the main TL #and VoD!Mary is so far much more friendly with Katarina than her straight-up obsessed canon counterpart #WILD that VoD!Bakarina is so far shaping up to have far healthier relationships than canon!Bakarina despite unfortunate timing #not that I ever expected a reverse harem to depict healthy relationships at all #btw shout out to the author of the series “through tinted glass” on ao3. you get it #and also whoever wrote Zucchini Flowers. That fic basically fixed every issue I have with the polycule lmao #but I'm rambling #romance in chiaroscuro

to YOU it's "washing the dishes" to ME it's a thrilling game of "which sentimental thing that i love and honor by using for its intended purpose of eating/preparing food will my wet hands smash onto the countertop into dozens of irreparable and sharp pieces today"

#ive broken: a bowl i got my from my grandparents (now left w 3/4)#a glass teapot(!) that my sister got me for christmas #and just now an old corningware teacup with the gold butterfly pattern (now have 2/3 i bought it secondhand and it only came as a set of 3)#not a single butterfly or flower was spared in the pattern it literally cracked horizontally through it around the entire circumference #talk #text #mine #“dont use them if theyre so precious to you” so they can sit and collect dust??? take up space in my tiny apt??#theyre made to be used and i cherish them BECAUSE i can use them #literally as soon as that teacup broke i started bawling like it was on command #bc not only did it cut my hand in two places but i also BROKE THE DAMN TEACUP and now had to clean up all the shards #funny enough the song playing when that happened was dont wanna cry by svt

i look in the mirror. hello pretty boy. would you like to get stabbed

#random thoughts #he looks eager though he's clearly been sick.#enter enter enter enter the person who poet poetry people never-ending defending paradigms made to be broken #glass ceilings much too high make your knees buckle when you stare at the reflection so reflective of something that just makes sense #this plays a familiar song in my mind i used to pick garlic flowers let me do it with you by the seaside #pick the poet technical and other issues ensue #and i am doubled over screaming everything i feel for you #never hatred only love though i could hate so many people #people-pleaser undefeated and they said “take me to your leader”#as if i remember where that comes from but i am god now #i am everything and anything and nothing all at once #and i make people sick #most especially myself #sometimes it makes you wonder if i do it on purpose #i'd like to be an alcoholic like my father rather like he was #because he's doing well and i think he tries but i say this just because #i'm just a kid and i know nothing about the world of boys and girls #i am a mechanical emotional vampire who will crack your head open #upon the rocks of a beautiful tuscan beach and the lord of the flies at sea #he called to me and called me simon but i think we're out of reach #petticoats are for children and i used to be just 39 #that is not my age it is a number and a color #i associate it yellow because it used to be my favorite and i'm playing in the sand #i was 39 for a while but i care not to share the rest and everything is just a mess because i lie awake at night #wanting my hair back and a lover that will hold me #though the people need to be held so i will hold them by myself it's never me #but it always is i'm selfish even my mother says so #that's enough i'm overloaded sensorily overdosing #as we release ourselves we find it harder asking for help #no you don't need it all you need is to shut up and count to 12

...

#Queen anne's lace | Daucus carota #Pulled from a roadside wildflower tangle on a whim. Date sometime before 24 August 2022.#While riding bikes to visit makeshift museum of twisted metal.#I rode slow alongside my mom. probably. it's a blurry memory.#On a tiny island on a sea sized lake #shallow and full to the brim with fossils and dead fish and broken glass.#An island that gave my mother her name. one of my favorite places. where i imagine storms when im angry #My first memory of this plant is old.#My mom pushing my sisters in a red double stroller in the summertime.#Turning the bend near our home.#Or walking toward my grandparents house in late August. maybe. i dont remember #Just that she told me it was queen Anne's lace and I patted my face with it like a powder puff.#Its tiny white flowers branching out blurry like a globular cluster pressed flat. Like stars huddled around the mass of a tiny velvet purpl #flower. a flower that makes me feel small and needy. with tiny hands and tiny worries.#...usually i write these things off thr top of my head but this one was prewritten. i just feel too insecure to make writing posts that can #be reblogged 😬 but anyway im writing entries for the handful of pressed flowers thst i have. idk y i grabbed this one bc it was the 1st #i just always liked queen anne's lace. childhood nostalgia and all that i suppose #unrelated #also i say it was prewritten but when i wrote it. it was still just brain vomit without editing lil

me on tumblr: oh i just love flowers they're so pretty and i love the symbolism so much-

me in my head while creating bouquets: HOW MUCH PAIN AND ANGST CAN I PACK INTO A SINGULAR PLANT WHILE MAKING IT STILL SEEMINGLY INNOCENT

#personal #random #so anyway's solar's bouquet is picked out #i just have to slap some color on that bad boy #which is unfortunate cuz I suck at coloring #i wanted it to look more natural so i'm putting the colors over the lineart #but now I'm having trouble with shading it #anyways this is really fun and I'm immensely enjoying myself #i found the most perfect flowers #i love analyzing symbolism so so so much #my english teachers would be so proud #symbolism is just so cool cuz it's the equivalent of the author sliding up to you and giving you something #and it looks really innocent and simple but in reality that thing has a ton of lore packed into it #and you now know the struggles of the character because you can see the connections to both the plot and the overall theme of the novel #and it's so fun to tie these things to human nature #and the best part about symbolism is that you can read it in anything and that different people have different ideas!#like if i give you oh i dunno glasses or something #it can represent knowledge and wisdom or it can represent flaws within a character and broken infallibility #or it could just mean glasses!#it really just depends on what you're looking for!#and since i really like tying things to human nature i always find this stuff really fun :)#anyways ahaha sorry for rambling #flowers are so cool...

Altar of Disarray

Wilted flowers and a broken candle. The candle was brought to me by my partner’s mother when I was very unwell last year. The flowers I bought more recently for a self portrait session that never happened.
