amalgam v1

the inside of the tank

fogged glass

outstretched claws/hands/talons/hooks

press against it

push against it

but it doesnt crack.

the glass doesnt budge or move

there is a hand pressed against the glass

there is an outstretched hand waiting

the fucking glass.

the window is open

and the wind is chilled

bringing winters scythes swing

and frosts smoking exhales

i clutch it within my grasp

and

paralyze.

i am what i am what i am what they made me what i have become which i am

arise monster.

with electrical currents

forced palpitations are upon

hollowed out cavities

put it down.

failed, yet again

the moons cold tide

pulls red-tinted red water closer to the porcelain shore

i walk forward

shedding that which i cannot leave behind me

so close to the water, so close

6/1/23

iced coffee with a splash of half&half and a sprinkling of sugar

a heavy sunset plagued over the atmosphere

white polka dots

freshly cleaned and sharpened glasses

warmth.

fade fade fade fade erase erase delete be gone.

end it. sickening crunches of breaking bones, squelches of leaking organs. sprays of viscera and assault beyond previous vision. a fitting end. d

if theres one thing i excel at despite my lack of skill and talent, its taking a beating,

i have been killed. alas, what a shame

sitting on the steps

smoking a fake cigarette

watching the sun set

your hand in mine

so many thoughts unsaid

if only they could be expressed

she's a medium

spending all her time in between tombstones and crypts

wandering throughout the spaces littered with bodies

talking to him

floating along beside her

an abstraction of void

who hasn't passed on forwards yet

just to keep her some cold blooded company

and provide a much needed warmth

the tombstone will be blank. the slate will be blank. there will only be a date. and i will await you when you come to visit

the bloodstains are forever because of course they are. why not. the scars too.

maybe i will walk forwards into the water and let the current take me away from this all.

the door is there. i can open it. but why. its not meant for me. it never has, never will be

sobriety is a pain. but it comes with overwhelming clarity. clarity so sharp it pierces my ribs and forces me to bleed out in laughter.

i like to overthink

all sorts of things

the infinite secrets of the universe

the songs I write(for you)

mostly about you

mostly about you

the only time my dreams are really dreams

ive a small to do list now

a small list of jotted ideas and jumbles of statements

to ellicit smiles and laughter

to ellicit the warmth of the suns glow

listen im ace and im pro kink at pride and whatever, but the way some of yall are wording your posts in response to the backlash against it is uh. really taking me back to the ace shitcourse era.

yall know theres nothing wrong with being a "virgin", right? that its not inherently shameful to have not had sex, to never have sex, even if youre not ace, even if you do want to have sex someday, like, its fine that you haven't had sex?

maybe if your problem is that theyre trying to police your behavior and shame you for expressing your sexuality, you can say that? instead of resorting to "haha stupid virgin gets no bitches" like my god. do you not hear how fucking regressive that attitude is? i know, i know, youre "joking".

get a better joke

I did, in fact, draw their faces but wasn't 100% sure if that conveyed "angel" enough so I gave them upside-down masks. But here they are uncovered.

booktok cannot handle unfriendly or emotionally complex female characters. show them a woman who’s a little problematic and they start shaking and shitting themselves. women can be either be martyrs or victims, anything else and ppl short circuit. men can be fucked up emotionally manipulative mass murders but if women have one unpalatable emotion they’re drawn & quartered.

if booktok bitches saw the female characters i liked they would piss blood for a week !!!!

The reason I keep banging the Jiang Fengmian drum so hard is not that he did nothing wrong--he's definitely in contention for best parenting in this book but that bar is in the ground--but because most of the takes I see about him are so extremely bad.

If you want to slag him off for trying to make choices that would hurt no one, and winding up properly protecting no one as a result, that's valid! That's an interesting and text-based critique, which opens into his parallels with Lan Xichen!

If you want to blame him for being weirdly over-invested in Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng being bffs, that's fair, that definitely contributed to the weirdness between them. If you want to say he was a poor communicator, that he fundamentally misunderstood his son, that he failed to be emotionally available in a way his kids could get much use out of, even that he should have figured out a way to stop Yu Ziyuan from creating such a hostile environment, all of that is fair game!

If you want to tackle how the worst thing he did to his kids was die I am so interested in how Wei Wuxian went on to abandon A-Yuan by going to his death, and how that might be tied to how his primary adult role model tied him to a boat and went off to a fight he knew he was going to lose.

After his parents had already left him like that once before, presumably less intentionally.

But no, instead I keep seeing that Jiang Fengmian didn't care. That he never expressed affection. That he actively participated in Yu Ziyuan's fucky game of forcing proxy conflict onto the boys instead of constantly trying (and failing) to shut it down, or that he ignored her bad behavior because it didn't affect him, or that he fought with her constantly, or that he was too much of an unmanly coward to stand up to her when she wanted something.

All of which are directly in contradiction to every scene he's in, and several of which manage to invert or erase the actual conflicts between him and his wife that were the source of all that tension.

And which are really interesting, because some of the most intractable elements are ideological--Yu Ziyuan is fundamentally a conservative and Jiang Fengmian seems to want to be an egalitarian, which ofc matched poorly with his hereditary authority as patriarch of a large sect.

The fact that the bit where we get to actually see him failing to parent Jiang Cheng consists of him gently and firmly trying to correct Jiang Cheng's ethics when what was actually needed in that moment was reassurance for the well-founded insecurities that were causing him to be a little bitch, only for Yu Ziyuan to charge in and make everything fifty times worse, is so much more interesting than literally any version of this family dynamic I have seen in fic. It's to the point I'm relieved when writers kill Jiang Fengmian off, because it means they probably won't feel the need to character-assassinate him too badly.

The number of people I've seen come right out and say some variation of 'men can't be abused' is killing me here. No, Yu Ziyuan wanting to hurt her husband does not constitute sufficient proof that he abused her first and deserved it! That's not how anything works!

Can I say something without being murdered by an angry mob? I don't think Zane has superhuman abilities. I hate when people make him the "perfect, good at everything" ninja. You're literally stripping him of his humanity by taking away his most human trait - not being perfect. I don't think he's stupid or weak by any means, he's a nindroid, it makes sense for him to be naturally a quick learner because he's programmed to perform better than humans. But I think he's only slightly above average in terms of smarts and/or skill sets, especially pre titanium Zane. And expecting him to act 100% perfect all the time takes away a big part of his character, which is being seen as more than just a machine. He's programmed to act as human, and being human means you will never EVER instantly be good at something and you'll never be absolutely perfect in everyones eyes at something. I'm begging you guys to understand where to balance Zane in-between machine and human because for some reason despite the amount of people saying Zane is more than a talking toaster, I still see the majority acting as if him not being human means he's completely perfect and unable to make mistakes.
