hi i just read ur poem abt love and the meanings of each word and i almost cried. usually poems donât do it for me and i find them boring and sometimes the writers just try too hard to get across their point (no offense to any poem writers itâs just not my cup of tea â¤ď¸) but the way you wrote abt love and finding it in everyday things really struck a cord in me. not to mention ur wording and phrasing which just adds to whole vibe of it. anyways this was one of the few poems that i feel like i can read over and over again because of how good it is and how much thought and feeling was put into it without being overbearing. much love and keep finding love in the small things â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Hello anon, you are incredibly kind. I hope you are well.
That poem is now very old (by my standards), but your appreciation of it allows me to look kindly back on it. Here are some recommendations for you, if you are interested, of poems that have been in my mind as of late:
>Watching my Friend Pretend Her Heart Isnât Breaking by Rosemerry Trommer
>How to Write a Poem in a Time of War by Joy Harjo
>Running Orders by Lena Khalaf Tuffaha
>Marie Howe's For Three Days
>My Father by Ollie Schminsky:
>First Writing Since by Suheir Hammad
>Moving towards Home by June Jordan
>"Who Remembers the Armenians?" by Najwan Darwish
And, if you are interested perhaps in why poets make the choices they do, I suggest the book Why Poetry by Matthew Zapruder. It has been influential on my style as a poet.
Most of all, I hope that you, too, can continue to find love in the small things. Much love, anon. Be well.
#poetry is everything to me#i am actually the co-host/event coordinator of my uni's poetry org#and i recently helped officially establish us as well#& you will notice that a few of these are by Palestinian authors#Moving towards Home and First Writing Since and Running Orders especially#live within me#Palestinian poetry is among the most beautiful poetry there is#and everyone should read some#particularly now#because your grief and anger over the death in Gaza & occupation of Palestine#is just as important as your celebration of Palestinian culture and resistance

I know those eyes.
[First] Prev <â-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen qing#wen ning#Sibling similarity but you only see it when you realize they have the same soggy eyes.#These two always struck me as a bit of a play on Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli for 'siblings who contrast each other.#But after spending a lot more time marinating on Wen Ning I actually think they are way more similar that is initially apparent.#Sure their surface level personality traits are pretty contrastive. But they both are so willing to risk their lives for what's right#Who raised them? In a story so full of examples of how parents shape their children - why are these two lacking in parents?#I imagine that Wen Qing is the older sibling and so her morals of 'help those who need it no matter who they are' got passed a long.#But how did *she* arrive there? Was that instilled within her or was it a reaction against bearing witness to callousness and cruelty?#We'll never know..the only thing I can say for certain is Wen Qing is *so* soggy in the audio drama.#She's like the ant with the bindle. It's a hell of a way to bring a previously sharp tongued character back into the narritive.#Side note: Thank you all for being so patient and kind while I took my break!#It's been a very chaotic few weeks and I didn't realize how bad my burnout was getting. I'm back and ready to keep drawing again!

me when i get the opportunity to think about speculative biology and non-existent game mechanics in media i like
â
#the candle creatures are revamps#i had created the idea for them years ago but i wanted to redo them slightly with new eyes#the âdark variantsâ of the mantas and birds are variants of them that have adapted for life in wasteland and the forests#and also#i like the idea of candle creatures that live in villages or within communities#that are sort of akin to strays that the whole community takes care of#means alot to me#this isnt everything ive been thinking about#ill make a couple diagrams about the large birds#yknow the ones from rhythm that we see once and never again. yeah.#they exist in my heart#anyway#skycotl#sky cotl#sky children of the light#sky#sky:cotl#sky: cotl#thatskygame#speculative biology#<- i guess?#im having fun ok#im happy to answer questions about my thoughts btw!#might be answered on my main if i cant muster a doodle or something#but i love answering asks#so if ur interested id love to hear thoughts :)

I don't use it to eavesdrop, if that's what you're asking.
#THIS IS A HEADCANON WITH NO TEXTUAL BASIS OFFICER I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE#anyway. more playing with staging. no you dont get a background or tones. shoo. take your lineart-only loop and go#isat#isat fanart#in stars and time spoilers#in stars and time#isat spoilers#isat loop#isat odile#lucabyteart#i assume in canon loop's ability to watch what siffrin is doing only really extends to Within The Loops but. eh. its cute.#also theres something there about living vicariously. maybe.#anyway i love drawing odile's little glasses danglies theyre really fun for subtly implying movement and tilt

#this vignette lives in my head rent fucking free. it haunts me something abt it reworks my brain chemistry#its not even a diasom vignette but it HITS its sat w me since i first saw it early on in playing the game. it ruins me. theres AUGHH#theres something so palpable in the energy of it. the confidence mal has in him as the king of heartslabyul#bestowing the rose so he exudes the majesty he already holds within. the unwavering belief in saving the group and mal's guards#AUGHHHH MY BRAIN MY BRAIN!!!!!!! looking at riddle's journey thru book 1 and seeing this as the next step of his char? RUINS ME#sorry. imemotional#twst#twisted wonderland#malleus draconia#riddle rosehearts#mallerido#suntails

âsimon rileyâs dead,â ghost chokes out; bitter resentment coating his tongue. âiâm just wearinâ âis corpse.â
mactavish doesnât shy from his venom; sees through his hiss and doesnât fear his rotten-fanged bite. he reaches out, pressing the flat of his hand to his breast and ghost damns himself for the way his breath catches; for the way his shoulders curl in around it in a silent plea for it to stay.
âthatâs no drum in your chest,â he whispers defiantly.
his hand slowly drags over his chest, coming to rest over his sternum and he feels its possession like a brand against his skin.
âit ainât bellows inflating your lungs,â he dares and he involuntarily inhales; his body longing to rise to his challenge.
mactavish pushes and he rocks back on his heels just to sway in closer; just to beg for the pressure to chase the phantom weight of six feet of dirt from his bones.
âyouâre far from rigor mortis, riley,â he promises and thereâs air at ghostâs back instead of decaying wood and infested flesh. âi wonât let the earth take you from me yet.â
#guess whos back#back again#buried alive simon rileys back#tell a friend#ghost insisting hes wearing simons skin as a defilement so he doesnt have to admit he doesnt know how to live within it#and mactavish refusing to let him rot in a coffin he already escaped#talk to me ghost#weâre a team. ghost team#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#09 soapghost#09 ghoap#09 soap#captain mactavish#john soap mactavish#soap cod#09 ghost#simon ghost riley#ghost cod#soapghost#ghostsoap#ghoap#cod mw2#cod#save post

the fact that irving canonically survives through the end of asunder to be at wynne's funeral is so fucking funny to me. nothing but love and respect for MY unstoppable cockroach morally grey machiavellian mage dad!!! he's survived in his position through multiple attempted rites of annulment and blood mage plots popping up left right and center around him. the chantry keeps trying to stamp him out but his dodge game is simply out of this world, divine. civil wars, political machinations and minefields, chantry atrocities, this wily old motherfucker is dodging and weaving his way through it all, not-quite-no-hits-taken-running-it-but-honestly-close-enough-under-the-circumstances style. if solas does succeed in tearing down the veil I would fully believe that one of the like three people still alive at the end of it all would be a very weary 90 year old first enchanter irving going 'oh this shit again huh'. the maker has cursed him for his hubris and his paperwork is never finished (affectionate, it's fine he canonically loves paperwork)
#we should have had the option to leave him in the fade instead of hawke or a warden#he would've just annoyedly shuffled his way back out of there a week later#dragon age#dragon age origins#first enchanter irving#he must be SO annoying to the chantry because it's heavily implied he's made his playground#out of tirelessly finding technicalities and loopholes to exploit that they can't *quite* call him on without domino effects going off#I think first enchanter in the circle system at origins times is a position that invariably and inevitably leaves you morally compromised#but I feel he really does his best within the rules he's given to play with and personally i love him a bit for that. and also#for being an unkillable lil shit. insufferable. inconquerable in his 'I'm about to be such an annoyance to you' impish spirit.#the I'm going to suffer but guess what. so are you of it all. traumatize the chantry back#I just imagine sophia sending letters home right before the vote for independence like '...dad I am hearing some INSANE rumours out here#what the actual fuck is going on back home???'#and he's like 'nothing that you need to worry about sweetie just keep living your best life and have fun killing darkspawn <3'#(there's something that makes me feel So much about how consistently his stance is like... 'you'll always be welcome here#but the circle doesn't *need* you; go be a warden and live your life'. he managed to fineagle freedom for you somehow and won't let you#turn and glance back. not even once. I feel somehow both so abandoned and so incredibly loved it's wild)#oc: sophia amell

Arthur âDisaster Biâ Pendragon learning about true loves kiss as a cure like:
Gwaine: For fuckâs sake, heâs not enchanted every time he smiles at someone else, Arthur! He was literally just laughing at my joke!
Arthur, aggressively frenching Merlin on the council room floor: YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL OKAY-
#listen#tell me iâm wrong#gaiusâs salty ass is mumbling that he doesnât remember true loves kiss involving so much tongue#and yelling at merlin to signal if he needs cpr#arthur is like âIM ON ITâ and just starts groping merlinâs pec#elyan is watching the drama unfold and living his best life#leon is having poetry lesson ptsd and aggressively folding himself into the fetal position#gwaine is yelling âTHE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOUâ#while watching in horror as arthur practically unhinges his jaw to better suck merlinâs face#gwaine is now caught between still being miffed and asking arthur how the fuck he does that as it seems HIGHLY applicable for future use#geoffrey is present as a scribe and wondering how much of this meeting really needs to go into the archives#percy is already illustrating it#within like a week all of camelot has a Pavlovian response to merlins smile like âoh LAWD he comin đâ#iconic#just a normal day in camelot#merlin#arthur pendragon#merthur#in a land of myth#and a time of gays#bbc merlin

Okay but does Peri KNOW that Dev has a robotic leg when he shows up? Something about the fact that Peri's wand is a cane and the fact that Dev could have kept his leg and just had a cane for the rest of his life instead tickles my brain.
I mean he doesn't know immediately, he wasn't like briefed or anything, but he basically lives in Dev's house so he definitely finds out. Peri doesn't comment on or react to it all though really, there's no reason for him to think anything of it, plenty of people have missing limbs, a lot of people are born without them, it doesn't necessarily mean anything sinister happened. He had no reason to pry or ask and I think Peri's lack of reaction to it helped Dev feel a bit more comfortable in his skin. (Not by much but.. a little bit.)
#fop#fairly oddparents#fop a new wish#fop dev#dev dimmadome#dale dimmadome#fop dale#fop Nature AU#<- I might rename it to something else idk give me ideas#LITERALLY thinking about the ableism implications of my AU so hard#Dale doesn't even stop to think that his son might not want a prosthetic leg#(Within the context of the AU the technology is good enough its basically indistinguishable from a real leg aside from lack of sensation)#he's basically deciding FOR his son that having his leg fully replaced would be better than living with a mild disability#After being the cause of that disability!! Double traumatization whammy!#If he stopped even for a second to ask Dev what he wanted he'd have learned that this was absolutely not it!#Half the reason Dev is so secretive is because he thinks being visibly disabled is showing weakness and is some terrible thing#You need accommodations right now man!!! Tell people what you need!!#Dale doesn't actually care all that much about people knowing about the prosthetic leg as long as Dev is quiet about the cause#and doesn't make him look bad#tbh he's kinda proud of the prosthetic leg. Im sure half the reason he was so eager to push it onto his son was because his own company mad#it and wanted to try it out#I have so many thoughts this is getting so long
