still love how the book starts out with stan beating up the statue and taking ford's discarded one dollar bills and then ends with stan completely destroying bill and ripping up money just to spite him
#gravity falls#stanley pines#book of bill#when bill directly taunted the reader before about how they wouldnt rip up a note......#im so curious if stan was hiding details about the version of the BoB that was shown to him....#like the ripped up note and the coded message to ford might just be stan being stan but im still going hmmmm#oh also bill flat out saying ominous stuff in the poem too lmao#especially when we know how much bill hates him like what would he say to stan with that direct connection of the book??#he knows that money isnt that important to him he literally made that offer when stan was about to kill him#also im still so fond of how the wheel of shame is a website thing#cos that level of interactivity vs just flipping pages on a book#where you don't even see the wheel immediately and need to keep spamming stan's name#to even see that page in the first place#that you have to discover that you can poke and prod and keep pushing bill's sore spot and keep doing it until he finally breaks down#and then gives us something that directly contrasts with the axolotl's poem#anyway thats it im making my bill+stan tag#two sides of the same dollar bill

The clouds have formed a blanket
And the winds have made their debut,
It is unnaturally warm tonight, though -
Warmer in this late-night dusk
Than it was at high noon
Dried leaves crinkle as they blow,
Recently uncovered
From the melting ice and snow
The window is wide open
But the only sound is gusts and rustles,
No birds, no dogs, no passing vehicles
Something is about to begin
Or maybe it is about to end
But something,
Something is definitely going to happen
#writing#poets on tumblr#poem#poetry#spilled ink#spilled thoughts#spilled poem#spilled writing#original writing#ominous#a storm is coming#I love the sound of wind#and rustling leaves#but why does it make me feel uneasy?#personal

Our Good Friend, Mothman
Omen of the air
They call him harbinger of fate, of destruction
"Stare too long into those red, red eyes," they say, "and see beyond time itself... if only you dare."
By nature or science, by Earth or space, we know not where he comes from
Be he bird or moth or man, we dare not ask
For fear of his wrath, his haunting roar,
As he perches atop the doomed Bridge
And considers its fate.
In Point Pleasant, he makes his home, his haunt for now,
But where will he go when it's all over,
When the deeds of fate are fulfilled and there is nothing more to warn against
Here in this sleepy town,
Will he return to his forever home or is it simply onto the next disaster?
He is hunted, sought after, his visions demanded by men with suits of deepest black,
But he is more elusive still than these pretenders of flesh;
He flies away into the dark, becoming one with stars and shadow,
You'll never see him unless he wants to be seen.

"Do not ask how the oceans blue, or why the tides their time do keep. To love, is simply to know this: the tides are true as the ocean is deep."
#this has been one half of my mind#tdp s5. You're going to hurt me. You're going to hurt me real bad.#I considered making another meme of someone huddled in a corner with this quote surrounding them but I've made that same joke enough times#''to love is simply to know this: the tides are true ad the ocean is deep.'' LIKE ARE YOU FOR REAL#Ominous poetry at the end of my god damn s5 trailer#A poem about love as understanding. like WHATEVER MAN. WHATEVER.#tdp#the dragon prince#tdp s5#tdp spoilers#imp tag

Feeling the earliest symptom of your coming period like watching a storm gather out over the open ocean
#there's always a moment where you've registered the sensory input but you haven't processed what it means yet#and then your perception shifts and you recognize the feeling and then you're just. ominously waiting#for the pain you know is coming#it is unavoidable. but you do have time to prepare. ensure your supplies have been collected. batten down the hatches. ready the heating pad#add this to my list of vague half-conceptualized poems about having a period

Girl Of All Things
The girl hasn’t moved for a long time. She stares at the cave walls, watching as the fire from outside creates shadows on the gritty stone.
When she waits for long enough, the shadows begin to speak. They start by whispering into her ears. They confess small, intimate things, things she must not tell anybody else.
Eventually, the shadows work up the courage to speak with a full voice.
“We love you,” they say “do you promise to hold your silence?”
She nods. Of course. It goes without saying. The shadows love her.
The shadows turn away. They coalesce into a large, dark orb. They speak amongst themselves in a language she couldn’t hope to comprehend. Tears prick at the girl's eyes eyes but the frozen winter air prevents them from falling. What she wouldn’t do to be a part of that beautiful singularity. Maybe one day, she tells herself.
The shadows return to their original scattered form.
“We’re going to reveal our wisdom to you. Do not be afraid.”
The girl touches the wall, where the shadows live. It feels smooth, smooth and warm. Much different from how it looks. She can feel it with her hands and see it with her eyes. It’s but an infinitesimal piece of the wisdom that the shadows hold.
"Share your knowledge with me.” She begs, “I will not be afraid.”
“Good.” The shadows smile, “You should know that you are destined for holiness. You are composed of the many things all living inside of you. Stay here and we will teach you how to divide yourself. Then, you will become a part of everything else. You will become the carbon in the earth and the helium in the stars. Your phosphorus will fertilize someone's garden.”
The girl’s eyes grow wide “That sounds beautiful.”
“It will be.”
The girl begins to peel away the layers of clothes that suffocate her. It is becoming very warm inside this little cave. The girl uses her coat as a pillow and her tee-shirt as a bedsheet. This cave will be the bedroom where the girl can finally rest her tired limbs. Yes. She will sleep here. When she awakes she will be one with the earth at last.

We tramped through the empty house, which had the comforting smell of lace and vintage furniture, and burst through the front door, discarding my suitcase by the stairs. The smell of ocean and rain, salt and palm fronds hit me full in the face, and I sensed a raging power close by, the kind of unbridled force that only the ocean could ever have. He pulled on his navy blue sweatshirt and we sat on the porch step. He buried his head in my nest of curly hair. “Okay, so tell me about everything,” I said. “Well, see that blinking light over there?” “Mmhmm?” “That’s Balboa Pier. We’re going to go there tomorrow. We’ll go to Ruby’s, we can sit outside.” “What’s Ruby’s?” “Oh, it’s a diner. Their ice cream and milkshakes are awesome. All right, so there’s the road we were on earlier…” My mind began to wander and I looked up at the sky, where Cassiopeia’s W was lit up by something more supernatural than neon. I was used to watching my own eastern seaboard constellations: office building windows lit up with people working late, taxicabs blurring by like yellow streaks in the orange night. Out there on the western edge of our country, despite the natural light from the sky, I saw dark. Dark roaring beaches where I would climb rocks in my black boots, the dark hulking shapes of piers where we would eat ice cream and milkshakes, the darkness out in the distance that stretched all the way to Australia, Japan, Indonesia. Dark where we had been. Dark where tomorrow we would drive willingly. The light from the house was nothing but a fuzz, a yellow flicker behind me. I thought again of his hand reaching out to take away that one hour, and for the second time that evening, I felt something like fear.
#i wrote a lot about my college relationship while i was in it and everything was so ominous lol#but everything also seemed very Important#i wrote this in poem form once too#it was weird to watch daylight savings time happen in front of me

you know that post that goes, "I am fast and full of teeth. I will die in a barn fire"? That post is like a lover to me. I am its biggest fan. I say it to myself all the time like a daily affirmation
#genuinely it's a poem to me.#'i am fast.' affirming! complimentary! a bit vague -- fast at what? there's a little mystery there#but overall it's a sexy thing to say about yourself#'and full of teeth.' oh! ominous! whose teeth -- are they YOURS? and you're FULL of them you say?#this is quite mysterious and a bit spooky but still an empowering statement to make about oneself. you're FULL of TEETH! sounds strong!#'i will die in a barn fire.' precognition? a promise? the known end point of all fast things that are full of teeth?#are you a horse?#the progression here from saying very clear things to very unclear things... mesmerizing#i need to tape it to my mirror#my nonsense#tumblr

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told
Eight for a tail that the stars have spun
Nines for a gate that can't be undone
Ten for River of forgotten more
Eleven for a key to the spectral door
Twelve for a mirror that reflects the night
Thirteen for a beast that lives in spite
Fourteen for a realm that none can reach
Fifteen for a speech no tongue can teach
Sixteen for a dream trapped in stone
Seventeen for the old gods hollow moan
Eighteen for the abyss that gazes back
Nineteen for the formulas cosmic Black
Twenty for magpies final verse in a universe where shadows converse
The end of the rhyme the start of the dread when not a single word is said

Say! I like green eggs and ham!
I do! I like them, Sam-I-Am!
And I would eat them in a boat
And I would eat them with a goat
And I will eat them in the park
Beneath the most foreboding lark
And I do eat them in the wood
Where no one ever ever should
Now comes the leafling’s haunting call
Summer, winter, spring, and fall
Too late as spindly fingers claw
Good neighbors here now, bare and raw
I run and run and run my legs
Are screaming and my eyes they beg
Safe haven now I’m here at home
No will o wisp no wand’ring gnome
I find for me this ham of green
And eggs devoid of fey so mean
I like to eat them in the yard :)
I like to eat without The Bard
I like to eat them in the den
Oh no they’ve followed me here and then
In fey grin and eyes sparkling
It seems my world is darkening
Heed my warning, heed it good
Do not eat green eggs in the wood

Never returning from within the city. Never forgetting to forget the forgotten. Making sense out of the senseless, winding words into webs. Trying to top the times, but l can’t quite figure it out. November 27, 2022
