I bleed like girls are taught to bleed, pretending I am fine.

Jihyun Yun, Some Are Always Hungry: "Reversal"

[beyourselfchulanmaria]

Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, Some Are Always Hungry chronicles a family’s wartime survival, immigration, and heirloom trauma through the lens of food, or the lack thereof. Through the vehicle of recipe, butchery, and dinner table poems, the collection negotiates the myriad ways diasporic communities comfort and name themselves in other nations, as well as the ways cuisine is inextricably linked to occupation, transmission, and survival. Dwelling on the personal as much as the historical, Some Are Always Hungry traces the lineage of the speaker’s place in history and diaspora through mythmaking and cooking, which is to say, conjuring.

the problems about being in the silm fandom…

nobody’s in the silm fandom.

…at least, people I’ve met in real life. There’s an amazing community here on tumblr with a good amount of (super talented!!) people in it, but so far I’ve barely met a single one in real life.

Which makes about sense, considering most people, especially considering that I’m in an academia environment with other young people that think of lotr more of an “old-timey,” “stuffy,” and “another one of those old classic boring books our teachers make us read,” and sure, yeah it’s sort of justified for them to think that, but it just makes me go ARRRGH YOU JAIL CROW OF MANDOS

I’ve met a fair amount of people who’ve at least watched the movies or read some of the og trilogy and the hobbit (yay!)…but haven’t read Tolkien’s other books, such as the silm (nay!).

…THE PROBLEM WITH THIS THOUGH is that I, being an avid Tolkien nerd, get beyond excited to hear them say “oh I’ve watched the movies and they were pretty good :)” and dump a butt ton of lore on them.

Babyfied Tails not crying no matter how hungry or sick he’d be because when he was an actual toddler he learned that if he cried no one would come to help him, his cries would only attract the people who wanted to hurt him.

Imo saying Jon won't care that he's half Targ because he has "nothing to do with that house" is a not only very simplistic way of viewing his arc but also just a flat out wrong and bad take. Like my brothers and sisters in R'hllor, he has everything to do with that house even though he may not bear the name! Jon is constantly equated with Targs in the series. In fact, he's constantly equated with the best that house has to offer. He's got Jaehaerys and Alysanne in him, he's directly paralleled with Maester Aemon and Aegon V, he transforms into Daeron the Good at the Wall, and he's basically best boy Jacaerys resurrected some 200 years later. Let's also not forget that he's best girl Dany's 1:1 narrative mirror. Jon's personality is what you get when you combine Daemon the Rogue Prince, a little bit of Maekar I, Egg, a teaspoon of Rhaegar, a few sprinkles of Baelor Breakspear, and a whole cup of Jaehaerys. He has the heroism of Aemon the Dragonknight, the innate leadership of Aegon the Conqueror, the youthful foolhardy of Daeron the Young Dragon, and the aggressive pettiness of Prince Daemon. He's got Daemon Blackfyre's nobility and Brynden Rivers' terrifying pragmatism. His rebirth is literally equated to the waking of a dragon ("two kings to wake the dragon", "promised prince born amidst salt and smoke"). He has both the good and the bad that comes with House Targaryen. He also has the good and bad of House Stark, but no one ever thinks less of him for that... Y'all let Targ hate and Rhaegar hate (both of which are just extensions of Dany hate lbr) cloud your judgement and ignore what's right in front of you. Jon is a Targ. The same way he is a Stark. He's not either or, he's both. The lesson at the end of the day isn't for him to choose one or the other. The lesson is to recognize that he so much of BOTH in him, and he can take these and become whatever he wants - bastard as he is.

*Sasori at the grocery store with Deidara, Itachi and Tobi* Sasori: You three are behaving wonderfully. Deidara: Kinda hard not to when you've got us TIED TO THE FUCKING CART, Danna. Tobi: This is embarrassing, Sasori-san. And this leash is itchy ... Itachi: Really, is this necessary? Sasori: For Deidara and Tobi, unfortunately, yes. They wander too much and put too much junk food in the cart. Now normally your behavior is exemplary but, well, Kisame and the others have warned me that around this time of year, when we go by a certain aisle, I'm going to have trouble with you. Itachi: Trouble? That's absurd. You would never have any issues with -- *they come to the next aisle and Itachi's eyes light up; it's completely full of Halloween candy* Itachi, voice deep and sharingan glowing: Let me go let me go let me go let me go let me -- Tobi: Sasori-san! Itachi-san is gnawing the leash with his teeth! Deidara: Oi, Danna ... I have to go to the bathroom. Can you just untie me real quick? I promise I won't do any -- Deidara: *accidentally drops a packet of matches that he was hiding out of his hand and a firecracker out of his back pocket* Deidara: ... shit. Tobi: Come to think of it ... those Skittles look really tempting ... Tobi, in Obito voice: Come, Itachi ... *starts gnawing at his own leash* Lets lay waste to this pathetic store and take what's rightfully ours! Sasori: Sasori: God, I hate grocery shopping.

Me, with wide innocent eyes: "what's the right kind of sausage to use for rakott krumpli?"

My mother: "kolbász. why are you suddenly asking me this?"

Me, trying to concoct an answer that isn't "Janosh KCD": "I'm hungry."
