"I don't think one ever really stops learning. Particularly not in these circumstances." The once-Goddess says quietly, her expression caught somewhere between empathy for the man before her, and her own grief.
She remembers when loss was a raw, ugly thing which left gaping holes inside of her. It may have dulled to an ache over the centuries, but all it takes is the slightest nudge for the wounds to reopen; the slightest twist in the wrong direction for the stitches holding her psyche together to burst open again. Some days it can be anything as simple as the sound of children playing together, or the sight of a particular shade of green, which sends her reeling.
He has a long road ahead of him. And Sigyn knows - perhaps better than almost anyone - just how treacherous it can be.
"I'm not going to give you the empty promise I'm sure you've heard countless times already. It does not get easier. You will simply learn how to cope as best you can."

This family dinner is gonna fucking suck
#'ox-eyed' is a term I stole from Homer (along with 'dog faced')#In this cultural context the term is used to compliment brown eyes. Not just applied to brown eyes in general but to describe#someone's as uniquely pretty (usually with the implication of a soft or calm gaze). Applied more frequently to women than men.#I've gone over Ganmachen before but that one refers to the ox birth sign and is a mostly complimentary epithet for people who#have the associated traits. It literally means 'ox faced' but the mache/machen word for face doesn't refer to the anatomical face#rather some perceived essential/fundamental aspect of one's nature being their 'face'#There's a ton of other '-faced' epithets both in regards to birth signs and not#and adding the -machen suffix to a description of a person emphasizes the quality being described#Like calling someone 'brave-faced' would be a bigger compliment than just 'brave'- describes this bravery as fundamental to their being#(I don't write this kind out in-text though because the concept of 'faced as descriptive emphasis' doesn't work in english)#(I'd just say like 'very brave' or etc)#'braileig' is the term for a horse foal in the western Highlands dialect. This started as Brakul insulting Janeys with the descriptor#'little lost foal in a blizzard' (which more biting than it sounds- describes someone as pitifully helpless). Janeys was paying#more attention than he thought and had picked up enough to recognize that he was being called a horse baby. Brakul eventually#started using just 'braileig' as a nickname

Somehow that ongoing 1,500,000+ word The Beatles Paul McCartney x John Lennon fanfiction I read includes like the most absolute minuscule details of the Beatles lore, like tiny little things where I was like "that can't be real" but I looked it up and it was (IE a guy claiming to be Jesus Christ barging in on one of their recording sessions). But it does NOT include the apparently real group masturbation sessions
#Straight up learned so much abouyt The Beatles because like maybe 40% of that million plus word count was just like#a chronological recounting of Paul McCartneys actual life and like 30% of it is text from straight up actual real life interviews#placed into the fanfiction (except edited to confirm to the fanfic's Lore of Paul McCartney and John Lennon being life partners and#Lennon surviving his assassination and all of their love songs being about each other and Linda McCartney being Paul's#platonic bestfriend and surrogate Womb for their yaoi children)#Like I would 'fact check' out of curiosity and now I know way more about tge beatles than I ever wanted to#While the remaining 30% is the beautiful love story between Lennon and McCartney where they break up 30000 times and#also this fixation on Paul McCartney being repeatedly sexually assaulted throughout life including like a 12 chapter kidnapping arc#At one point they go to a museum and the fanfiction text has the first several sections of the wikipedia article for 'The Adoration of#the Mythic Lamb' pasted into it word for word.#The title is 'we can find our way somehow' and the author works that exact phrase into the text at least 30 times. I kept count#John and Paul would liek almost breakup and then when reuniting they'll be like 'but I know we can ALWAYS find our way somehow together'#also used 'kaleidoscope eyes' as a descriptor even more (think that counter got into the 40s) and constantly refers to erections as like#'it made his groin stir' 'his groin stirred' 'he felt a stirring in his groin'#You don't even understand. You don't understand. THe experience of reading all that. You don'tget it

careful there, howard. lying is a sin.
#what i find so interesting is that she always falls back on the descriptor of perfect#when she could choose literally ANY other word#because human perfection is something that is biblically! impossible!#but she functions in such a black and white world that there is either failure or perfection#she does not–cannot–exist in the inbetween#because barbara howard? doesn't have a weird thing about her#she uses words like bible and blessing and BLAMELESS#she does not succumb to the fire and she's fine. just fine#please write that down

The ones who load the dice, always say the toss is fair. (hadestown au)
Orion looked around, panic setting in. Is it true what they say? Is there truly no way to get his love back. That's he's too late? She's truly gone? He walked all this way, why? just to play the part of a pawn in the God's cruel game of chess?
He's out of his mind.
How did he so foolishly believe. Nothing changes and nothing will.
Orion understands now. They're all playing a fixed game. His role involves him getting beaten and betrayed.
He's blinded by guilt, regret and doubt.
And hope. A spark of hope still burns with-in him.
He sings his voice loud. He asks the walls. Is it true? what they say, is it true?
Pickaxes stop ringing. The ringing in his ears doesn't.
He turns to go, Ariel would be disappointed, he could never stand up right.
The answer to his question will never be heard. Not in this concrete jungle.
The workers hear his.
He realises the ones who deal the cards, are the ones who take the tricks.
He who says the words, is always the one to say they are the last.
The walls repeat his words. Standing up and listening.
He shouts his answer out. For he hears the workers now, no longer questioning them; but the wall they had been so desperately building. If they have the will, there's a way to break it down. He believes they are many, and those he questions are few.
If it's true, he'll be on his way. After all, what can a few do against so many?
#WOOHOO MORE HADESTOWN AU shouting emoji#let me tell you something. I had if it's true on repeat while writing this AND I'VE HEARD THIS SONG MANY TIMES. I only just realised that#It switches on it's self. Orpheus at the beginning is questioning in grief if it's true that he can't bring Eurydice back. At the end#he's question if it's really true. in fire and hope. questioning if it's really true. is that the final say? that he *can't* bring her back#because he will. who is he to believe that the final say was the he couldn't#OH I LOVE THIS MUSICAL#yeah#not the most oplita this au can offer but still. I'm pretty proud of this because I truly haven't written for this au. I've been stumped#everytime I try to write and I haven't written in AGES so i am lowkey rusty#LITERALLY SO MOTIVATED FOR THIS AU RN#SOME ONE PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT IT I NEED TO YAP SO BAD PLEASE#probably gonna post to ao3 in the morning :)))#🫦🫦🫦 this au oh this au#this is my writing style now ig. I used to be the class poetic in school going back to my roots#I HAVE MORE!!! I'M MAKING A HUGE ASS CHARACTER DESCRIPTOR POST and some elita-the fates angst#transformers#elita one#elita 1#optimus prime#oplita#orion pax#hadestown au#optimus prime x elita one#ariel#transformers ariel#tf ariel#tf arion#arion

#i want to be super clear this is just a personal internal struggle and not a woe is me give me sympathy post#its weird being someone who is straight sized but is quite a bit bigger than almost everyone in their family#and who really only gained the belly in the last few years#and i don’t experience being fat in a systemic way but i have been told to try and lose weight by a doctor#and certain things like plan b won’t work on me very well because of my weight#and i am certainly not the waif build of popular transmascs or butches on the internet so my body often doesn’t feel desireable#i go back and forth on whether or not it’s appropriate to use the word fat for myself#not in a derogatory way just as a descriptor#idk#i might delete this later#bork bork!

Sasha: Hey, Hamid, mate, you seem to know a lot 'bout magic stuff, so... uh... why isn't the statue smirking at me?
Hamid: Oh! You see, it isn't smirking at annyone, Sash, they are just imagining it.
Grizzop: Ey, three people saw it! Me included! How do you explain that?
Hamid, pointing at Wilde: Sleep derivation.
Hamid, poiting at Grizzop: Paranoia.
Hamid, poiting at Bertie: Delusional Personality Disorder.
#grizzop doesn't say the three of us because he would never include himself in a group with bertie and wilde#he is doing verbal distancing#rqg#rusty quill gaming#rqg incorrect quotes#i considered doing it with the og archives crew but the 3 descriptors are just jon#sir bertrand macguffingham#hamid saleh haroun al tahan#sasha rackett#grizzop drik acht amsterdam#prague team my beloved#rqg oscar wilde#who is here cause I need 5 people and sleep deprivation fits him to well

YAYYYY! my funny guys finally have matching little reference sheets! men who go to the gym to bench press eachother
#my art#my ocs#<- you may ask But soleil brie doesn't look much like a gargoyle while iggy does#i massage my brain for you. see these are all technically humans. they're just human people. terms like hellspawn -#and gargoyle in this instance are just descriptors on how their magic has manifested. some use hellspawn some use dragonperson#it all depends on the language they want to use and the manifestation of their magic.#and in the case of gargoyles; what makes a garg a garg is the magical manifestation of rock hard skin hard to break by nonmagical means#so not every garg is as easy to identify as iggy! and brie prefers gargoyle because she does have that magical manifestation#of rock hard skin - he just doesnt. look like rocks. totally nonvisible pattern ^_^#tldr: worldbuilding#brie tag#ishmael tag#iggy tag#valentine tag#(#hellspawn#paint tool sai#mouse art#gender nonconforming#demons#gargoyles#)

The Two-Headed Calf
Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.
Laura Gilpin
#it's national poetry month!!!#the two headed calf#laura gilpin#poetry#part two in the tattoo series tbh#but yeah this is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking poems ever written and i will not hear otherwise#this poem literally just lives at the back of my throat like a lump#the line breaks between descriptors and settings#the way the first two lines of the second stanza just trap you and keep you in them#and the use of tense!!!#anytime someone asks me why i write in present tense so much i just tell them it's because i read a lot of poetry#ugh it's so good and pure and sad and beautiful

hey Tunes, do you know whats happening in the Miguel tag? I'm too afraid to check it out myself so thought I'll ask you.
essentially the atsv screenplay was released two or so days ago, which you can read in its entirety here, and there has been valid crirtique regarding the language utilised to describe Miguel within said screenplay, including allusions to bloodlust and the screenplay describing him as an animal twice I believe.
#insofar as my own personal thoughts this does really make me concerned that theres a real lack of consciousness to#emphasizing miguel's anger and the nature of his being in that he's half spider as primary tenets to his character#its deeply concerning to me that regardless of whether the authorial intent was more in vein of providing direction to animators#or was an attempt at shorthand for his emotional state to emphasize his threat AS an antagonist#that this kind of language pertaining to a moc wasnt examined more closely and that it wasnt something picked up upon throughout the#creative process (because lbr Lord + Miller + Callaham are notorious for creatively echoloating their way to the final product and even the#screenplay we HAVE has elements which never made it to the film that exists right now)#its concerning that this mindset on part of the creatives (esp in contrast to Spot as others have pointed out who doesnt contain the same#kinds of language descriptors) that this is something that appears to have been integrated carelessly and without consideration as to just.#the implications of always referring to a moc within bestial terms and characterising his emotions as such. and i think thats something#which is important to point out and criticise as part of the authorial intent (which is what i read the screenplay AS yknow)#but yeah tldr theres been a lot of issue taken with the language used there and i think its a very warranted point to make critique of#and its one i personally hope the creatives HEAR and reflect on. because theyve shown they can do so in regards to characters like Peni or#elements like getting the texture of Miles' hair wrong at first#ask games#anon

(Tw Matty Healy, Sexism) Gender based sexism is some guy saying they were emasclulated by the idea of dating you ten years ago and then coming back 8 years later out of nowhere and promising to have changed and promising babies and marriage and then ghosting after you openly and publicly commited to them and all their off color jokes. Matty Healy is a shit show of gender based sexism and weird hang ups about woman having success like geeze and I know Joe Alwyn wasn't a saint neither but at least he kept that shit to himself and didn't openly say
"But I didn’t make a big deal out of it myself. It’s not really anything to talk about, because if she wasn’t Taylor Swift we wouldn’t be talking about her.
“She wasn’t a big impact on my life. It’s just interesting to me how interested the world is about Taylor Swift.”
“And the reason I mention that is because if I had gone out with Taylor Swift I would’ve been, ‘F**king hell! I am NOT being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.’ You know, ‘F**K. THAT.’
“That’s also a man thing, a de-masculinating, emasculating thing.”
and then turn around, pretend to be prince charming and then peace out and get engaged to the next person they dated.
Fucking AMEN to that!! I think those quotes get directly at the core of why his betrayal was so rotten- he clearly got off on pursuing The Taylor Swift like a fucking big game trophy hunt, and the subsequent dropping her like a used Kleenex. Obviously I don’t know the man, but it seems to me that he was very much into degrading her, watching her bend over backwards to be with him, “tarnishing” her reputation, and then being the guy that broke The Taylor Swift’s heart. I can’t possibly understand all the nuance of trusting partners as an extremely famous diaristic songwriter, but I imagine that for him part of the thrill was knowing she was writing about him. (Side note: Which is why I respect her approach to writing about him in TTPD so much! She didn’t have to do that but she spoke honestly about her embarrassing situation and took the satisfaction away from him I guess) Idk it makes my skin crawl to even try to get in that guys head but somethign something intimacy of songwriting something exploiting emotional vulnerability. Maybe he didn’t do it on purpose, maybe he regrets it, maybe he’s not all bad, blah blah blah idk he just gives me the creeps and I don’t trust men’s motivations generally, especially when we have an enormous amount of data showing that this man gets off on women’s pain and trauma.
#Idk how to phrase this exactly but it’s almost like he flipped the story in his head from 2015ish(?)#Like if she’s “the man” then it’s like HE was emasculating HER. I don’t love the way that feels re: gender binary. Idk how to articulate it#Like he was playing dolls with her life similar to how fans do but he was also literally there like in her literal bed#It’s so fucked up#(I love the way you use the phrase gender based sexism and I feel it is wholly the most accurate descriptor for what we know about- and als#Perhaps qualifies as “acts of gender based bias” bc he was manipulating and coercing and dehumanizing and using her presumably for sex)#Like I just feel it’s important to validate that because he was acting on those foundational sexist beliefs it does cross a line :/#And i think it’s muddied a bit bc her life experience is so unique that it’s hard for us to see how the fame stuff complicates relationship#And boundaries#(I also agree 100% about the difference between joe and Matty. Every man has implicit gender based bias. Joe made some effort to confront i#But Matty flat out lied about confronting it and then leaned into it instead)#Muse talk#mh#tw: sexism#Boundaries#Empowered relationships#Asks#c#Gender based violence
