#i think i finally captured the feeling

[self-titled-poet]

I often picture the girl

Who is only (just) 18

In dark eye make up

And shoes that hurt her feet,

Because that’s what

Grown ups wear,

In a pub drinking

Glasses of things

Only adults are allowed to drink

Surrounded by people

All (at least) double her age

And the man at the centre

His hand resting on her thigh

As he jokes about her

Thinking she cannot hear

How his friends make

Envied comments about

What it must be like

To fuck someone so naive

So inexperienced

Someone so fresh and tight

How she leaves

To go outside and put

A stick between her teeth

That chokes her

All because she wants

To know addiction

To learn why he loves this

But cannot love her

I often think of this girl

And how those cigarettes

Were so loosely rolled

Yet she would spend hours

Hanging out of

Her parents window

Swirling white rum in a glass

Puffing smoke into the sky

Practising making tubes of paper

Stuffed with dry

Sweet smelling grass

All the while

Watching the stars twinkle

She had no hobbies

No interests

Only him, and those parts

Of him she could pour

Deep into herself

To fill the nothingness he gave her

Something inside her

Drowned

Or burned

Or he suffocated out

Because not even a shred

Of the girl at 18

Existed beyond those days

I think she still wonders

Those places

Like a ghost trying to find

The things she lost

The things he tore away

The things he no longer remembers

But I do

I think about the girl

So freshly 18

Lost in the man

That had a habit of plucking souls

And shoving them carelessly

Into his denim pockets

Letting them roll around

Next to his lighter

The fully formed man

Who’s comments stay fresh

Haunting the places

They went together

As if it were yesterday

And not seven years ago

The girl who does all she can

To not be deceived by love

The way she was

But forgives herself for being

No older than a child

Who is trying still

To piece together hobbies

To learn to only wear flat shoes

And to be youthful

With colourful makeup

I mourn the loss of a girl

Who had so much potential

But i suppose only those girls

Are worth being ripped open

disney is a coward so I know they'll never do this, but given what we learned was SUPPOSE to happen between alex and stevie, I would still love a post-eloping for the reboot.

like just imagine alex and stevie as the Cool Gay Aunts(tm) for justin's kids (+ billie). they show up for the holidays and totally shower the kids with magical gifts, including a baby dragon for the boys (which does end up setting fire to their parents bed sheets). milo shows off a magic trick to his friends, using alex (since billie's not allowed to) sneakily casting spells from the bushes so the card really does dissapear from his hand, leaving his friends cheering (stevie smiling but refusing to admit to alex how cute is it). stevie has a motorcycle (which alex thinks is super hot but also refuses to admit) and while the kids aren't old enough for a ride, she does let them sit on it and rev the handles nice and loud while justin panics from the porch. they team up with all three kids to pull pranks on justin and even sometimes get giana in on a few harmless ones. maybe alex even uses her role on the tribunal to get stevie's records cleared, and they both start to advocate for a more fair way of distributing magic between families.

and billie could have an extra adult at her side! I know justin is suppose to fill the pseudo-dad role, but while billie spends her time with the russo's, also gets to spend her summers or whatever with her two cool wizard aunts. they encourage her to keep up with her studies but for the most part they just chill, letting billie indulge in a few sweets (knowing how health-conscious justin has forced his family to be) and sometimes in a pg-13 movie together. when she's there however, the house does turn into a prank war; guests are to be extremely careful when entering and encouraged to bring a separate pair of clothes.

I dunno it would just be super cool; alex and stevie reunited and I think the kids would love her too - plus watching their aunt who's always acted so aloof get all smiley and whatnot and I'm just imagining a scenario with alex and the kids like:

billie: why does stevie call you babygirl

alex: hey who wants to play the quiet game!!

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!

MOE. SUMMER ALT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

BIGGEST thing about Moe history is that for Literally Actual Years. I have been trying SO hard to get a beach outfit for it Right. I always had some aspects of it in mind (the white cover-up -- initially sheer, but I like the idea that it's a light shawl kinda like Lyon's, here). But a lot of my designs felt too feminine. Moe is about Balance. Moe is about Mishmash. Moe is about The Silly Factor. It's also unexpectedly practical and loves questionable fashion choices.

All this in mind! I think its Look really came together when I decided to give it some sporty touches. I esp love the wet shoes... and the visor works so well on it?? The little fish skeleton is a handmade accessory (not actual bones.), like its "tail" in its everyday outfit. I imagine it's jointed/maybe chain linked, so it has some movement to it! The skeleton adds a bit of edge it always has, and ALMOST. Gives a manta ray silhouette paired with the shawl (most noticeable in the topmost art! Didn't set out to do that, but when I noticed this I ran w it LMFAOO)

where's home

border control asked me "where’s home?” and I stumbled over my words half choking out a “Chicago” that feels empty Chicago is where I live where’s home? when I was at sleepaway camp summer after fifth grade someone asked me “where’s home?” and I told them Germany before I realized they meant “where do you live?” where’s home? “home” isn’t real to me I stand just outside “home” in the cold and dark staring through the window at a warmly lit room filled with friends and family where’s home? home hasn’t been real since I turned ten and we left Michigan where’s home? I taste home every time I step outside on a snowy night but it never sticks where’s home?

Ok so I'm not 100% sure of this because the claim seems to come from known bad book (twilight of the empire) and this information is not stated in sources from before that (at least that i could find on a cursory search) but. Idk there's the whole thing about Rudolf shooting Mary (according to her wishes) and then apparently just sitting there for five or six hours. Like what was going through his mind. sexy fanfic idea
