Quick re-do of a 4 year old piece

[raptorrobot]

was listening to the elden ring (+sote) ost on my 8hr bus trip last night and i cannot express how terrible of an idea that was . its was all gorgeous ambience and whatnot that lulled me into a slumber of false security and then i got activated into the waking world like a fucking sleeper agent when i heard malenia's phase 2 music kick into my ears

I really like your writing style. Do you have any literature you can share that you use as inspo?

going to start by disclaiming that from a specifically stylistic approach, i don't know if i have any writers that are distinctly similar. i do have writers that i find inspiring, though! if none of these are helpful for style, i hope they can inspire you in the same way that they make me aspire to achieve fantastic things with my writing :) i am always a poet first and foremost, whether it's poetry or prose (which is often just poetry hiding in a longer form), so most of my recommendations are poems; i have a few books at the end, though, just in case. everything that i link here should be free to access!

i am like 90% sure that anyone seeing this will already know that i keep all my poetry over at @trickstersaint, but just in case you're coming direct from a quiz, that's the place to read more of my writing! now. onto my list of a bunch of other trans poets with tumblr platforms 🖤

keaton st. james (@boykeats), i think, was the first modern poet that i really found and loved. stumbling across some of his dictionary poems as a younger poet was so revolutionary to me, and reading his poetry changed the way that i thought about and approached poetry as a whole. inspiration in the way of seeing the things that someone can do with poetry. opening up all the limits. this is what every good poem will do for you a little bit, i think, but keaton st. james is always my first recommendation for a modern poet. highly recommend his collections growth and light (i personally really love light. guy who is normal about religion voice) and rural boys watch the apocalypse is to me what that one richard siken poem about being in a car with a beautiful boy is to everyone else haha

other poets whose work i really enjoy and admire include silas denver melvin (@sweatermuppet) and dante émile (@orpheuslament)! recommending the poems an impractical marvel and dioscuri from them, respectively. sweatermuppet also has a full collection called grit, and orpheuslament has one called misplaced organs and various saints (this particular one isn't free but linking it here!) :)

my favorite poem since high school has been gravity by maura o'connor. life-changing. that poem is just like me for real.

for more of a narrative style, if you've read + liked my piece aromanticism, i definitely recommend with those we love alive by porpentine! really gorgeous twine piece with a kind of mysticism to it that could definitely tie back into the kind of stuff you'd see in my little quizzes too :)

if you're looking for actual literature-as-in-books, i can point you towards our wives under the sea by julia armfield and white is for witching by helen oyeyemi. both are novels that i've enjoyed for their kind of eclectic and poetic writing recently! i will also take any chance to recommend my favorite book, which is the hours by michael cunningham; regardless of similarity or inspiration, i find the writing of this book gorgeous and heartbreaking and i think it scrapes at the human condition in a way that draws blood. gently. if you know what i mean.

i hope this was helpful! i constantly feel as if i don't read enough poetry so if anyone has any suggestions they want to give me. i am more than happy to hear them <3 happy reading everybody!

Having to block everyone who has "wincest dni" in their bio not because I ship wincest (because I have come to the conclusion that I actually don't) but because I do think it'd be fun to poke around at the very real weirdness of their relationship that I've noticed in the show so far. And I'm 99% sure that my poking around will get seen as shipping.

Dog got put down today and the saddest I've been all day is because of pokemon angst. What the hell is wrong with me. Why can't I care.

Saw a YT vid with the title, "Fandom Can't Handle Asexuality"

You're right, they can't... Because it doesn't fucking exist to them.

january review! featuring icons from tumblr user buffonias, washi tape from paperchase, mixed media from all over

i don't usually share anything from my journals bc social media are so saturated with journalling content from people SO much better at it than me (also i'm terrible at editing so my pictures always look like shit), but i have some additional notes i want to keep with this and my tumblr is the easiest place for me to keep track of them!

if you're wondering about the numbers and what they mean, i decided to try a life admin. gamification system for 2025, so these are notes about points and skill levels.

highlights: i discovered some great acting classes being held at a local community centre last year, and have made some really great friends there; so much so that, in january, some of us went out for a meal, which was lovely! also a new course of classes started last week, with nearly all of my existing friends, and some new people too

achievements: reading two books, watching one film, and writing two chapters of a fanfic might not seem like much, but this is huge for me! i really struggle with inspiration, motivation, concentration, etc. bc of my poor mental health, and as well as the two books i finished, i've also made significant dents in two more, so i'm doing really well for me! the only medium i find easy to consume is television oops. also, i've struggled with irregular & highly symptomatic periods for so long that i've finally caved in and agreed to start taking the contraceptive pill to regulate them (once my current period has ended), which is another huge step for me. therapy-wise, i'm getting guidance over the phone, and will start seeing someone in person next week.

media highlights: carla/ lisa (permanently), the seven husbands of evelyn hugo, our wives under the sea, mass effect, the crow girl

february plans: i'm starting my new therapy & medication; i want to find a better way of keeping track of media i want to watch/ read/ play, and significant purchases; and i'm doing quite well in most areas except in those where i need help and/ or advice, which i really struggle to ask for, so that'll be my biggest goal (/hurdle) this month

1/6

so i watched the One Piece live action and i swear my 14-16 year old self literally possessed me again so have my OC from 5 fucking years ago given a total revamp of design: Dolli Paintface! (yes i kept the name)

no this is not the end of the DSMP bullshit but you better believe you're gonna be seeing a lot more of this girlie she's legitimately one of my most comforting OCs and I can't fucking get out of bed i'm gonna be self-indulgent mkay?

so expect that.

also i hid at least 5 easter eggs in her design for her own lore and others so... yeah. if you wanna do that.

(p.s. my commissions are open!)

[mymarifae]

walks in. sits down. so i finished chapter 9 of hi3. um. oh my fucking god my heart ACHES. there's been some stories here and there that have made me tear up a little but it's been years since i've had to fight off SOBS over pixels on my screen. knowing what was coming didn't make it hurt any less either

i love you. I Love You. i love you. it's been 20 minutes and i'm still trying not to break down sobbing. i lvoe you. if i have to lose you in hsr too i'm going to build a bomb and use it to destroy my laptop specifically

I'm going to be bitching about Star for a while now. I'll tag them all with #asc spoilers, but really what the fuck was this book?
