Our Tears Are Sweet by Simin Behbahani

Our tears are sweet, our laughter venomous. We’re pleased when sad, and sad when pleased. We wash one hand in blood, the other we wash the blood off. We cry as we laugh at the futility of both these acts. Eight years have passed, we haven’t discovered their meaning. We have been like children, beyond any account or accounting. We have broken every stalk, like a wild wind in the garden. We have picked clean the vine’s candelabra. And if we found a tree, still standing, defiantly, we cut its branches, we pulled it by the roots. We wished for a war, it brought us misery, now, repentant, we wish for peace. We pulled wings and heads from bodies, now, seeking a cure, we are busy grafting.   Will it come to life, will it fly, the head we attach, the wing we stitch?       (From A Cup Of Sin: Selected Poems by Simin Behbahani, Translated by Farzaneh Milani and Kaveh Safa, University of Syracuse Press, 1999)

Do you think of him as a disciple? Or a son?

Disciple or son, isn't it the same?

our neighbor who we’ve befriended over the years is moving out to a house and gave us this free for the convenience of not having to move it

Hi ssreeder, this isn't really a question, and I have never used tumblr before, so I'm still getting used to it... but I made an account because I wanted to let you know that I've been reading the LIAB series. I'm finishing the last chapter in book 2 tonight, and I'm so excited to start the final book. I've laughed, I've cried, I've yelled at my phone when Ara and Jet made me want to rip out my hair (*sighs* good times). But, seriously, thank you for putting this series out for us to enjoy. I believe this is one the longest stories I've read ( the longest would probably be Crimson Rivers). And I'm excited to see to where you take us with your story.

Again, thank you

*pretend I'm doing the Fire Nation gesture of bowing to say 'Thank you'*

OHH HEY THERE!!! I have seen your comments coming through I’m sorry I haven’t been able to respond to them I’ve been slacking! But yeah usually I’m faster at answering on tumblr (at least I try!!) so I’m happy you made one!!

YOU FINISHED RIA?! WOW that’s awesome! ITF starts rough but it calms down before ramping back up again lol. I’m so glad you’re enjoying & it’s so nice of you to come to tumblr to share your kind words!! I APPRECIATE YOU!!!

I look forward to reading more comments from you (if you keep leaving them no pressure!)

warning though! My tumblr space is not spoiler free but if you block the tag ITF it’ll keep everything from the last book hidden! At least it SHOULD (tumblrs janky)

THANKS FOR THE KIND ASK!!!

We haven’t told our families yet so I can’t post on my normal socials but I’m bursting at the seams to tell someone, so here!

We’re getting married!! 💜💜💜

It’s been 5 years with this good ball and I have known such peace and happiness being with him. He’s so supportive, and holds my hand through all of my rough times.

Our relationship started with him making a trip into the city for cheap beer and a pizza. We were going to go to a nice restaurant but it ended up being crowded until close so we just picked a nearby place to have… cheap beer and pizza. Full circle and I find it to be so fitting for us to end up there on our 5th anniversary.

Yes that’s a ring pop. It’s been our little joke for years cause rings are expensive, and I never cared about the ring itself, I always told him I’d say yes to a ring pop if it meant I would spend my life with him. And now it’s happening!! Ahhhh!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

We know how Sara Lance likes her coffee, black with lots of sugar! We learn that early on in Legends Season One. You might like your coffee differently and that's fine, so is artistic liberty in matters the show didn't elaborate on but if the show gave us the answer, stick with it. And the shows gave us several people's coffee preferences. Sara drinks it black with two sugars, Oliver likes it black, Felicity drinks a none fat latte with extra sugar (that makes zero sense on a nutrition level) just to name a few. We got the info. So do your research. Use another methaphor. Sorry things like that just really annoy me. But then again, I spend hours working out the smallest detail and researching things like Max Fuller's wife's name...

She doesn't like her coffee bitter, like her relationships and dirty martini, the woman mainly drinks scotch!, like do your research if you use it as something to make a point about a character and their actions.

And Sara was not sleeping with whoever tickled her fancy during her time with the Legends. There were a few choice people she hooked up with but she wasn't sleeping her way through time as so many Avalance people would like to make it out.

And who the hell thinks Ava's sweet while Oliver is bitter? It's like the exact opposite. Oliver's the sweetest person on the planet, Ava is so fucking bitter it's not even funny anymore.

And I don't why I'm over here ranting. Blame it on all the people tagging fics as Canarow simply for mentioning the fact that Sara used to date Oliver. That's a fact, you don't need to tag it that for two sentences.

I swear I get heat for also tagging a Canarrow story Olicity because technically in the story Oliver is with Felicity as in the present but Avalance and Olicity people tag a story Canarrow just because Sara and Oliver having been together is mentioned or they break up in the first chapter and them actually being together is never shown in the story.

Make it make sense and stop tagging your toxic bullshit with my ship! There are so few Canarrow fics out there don't throw your anti-fics in there I don't want to see those toxic ships under my happy tag.

I think I'm done now.

And where are my fellow Canarrow writers at? I sort of want to go through with "there can't be a none Canarrow ship at the top of the Canarrow tag" but I'm one person, my muse is flakey and given the amount of Avalance and Olicity people that are currently falsely tagging their fics Canarrow I will not be able to do that.

Wow this post just turned into something entirely different.

Anyway... I hope everyone has a great day.

congratulations our flag means death for beating every allegation ever

[telomirage]

me: nervous about my first fansign experience despite being assured it was just as fast as hi touch

my first fansign experience: EXTREMELY POSITIVE and also so fast I feel like I blacked out and can't remember the order the members were sitting in (except for that I think Haruna might have been first and Tsuki was definitely last in line at the table)

I went through the line saying hi hello thank you, etc etc to everyone and I'm still riding the high of 1) one member telling me she liked my hair and thought it was pretty, 2) another member brightening up over my eyeliner + gems and saying I looked pretty, and 3) tsuki signing my album, looking up, and pausing with the album held aloft to tell me I was very pretty before handing the album to the staff so they'd give it back to me :')
