#songbird blog takeover

[goodluckclove]

Immensely bitter that if you search for Rainer Maria Rilke on this website you mainly get the same handful of quotes and very few actual full poems. Which is a massive shame considering the works of Rilke are some of the most beautiful words every put together and you can't possibly get the entire sense of what he can do based on just a few lines.

Specifically the Stephen Mitchell translation. Think of [You who never arrived], which legitimately makes me tear up every time I read it.

This is a work of unbelievable importance and it changes me a little bit every time I read it. Rilke is so unbelievably good at capturing the type of loneliness that feels otherwise impossible to even perceive. A ghost-like feeling that haunts without actual presence. I can't even say that I wish I could reread him again for the first time because every time I read Rilke I feel the exact same way, just this overwhelming sensation of someone that gets it.

Quotes aren't enough. Read up on Rilke and change your world.

Jesus, I peeked at the librarian tag here just to see what people were saying, and I can just smell this video. That weird, faint, elementary-school sweetness. My first year and a half at my University was just spent repairing textbooks and grimoires.

On a side note, if you're a new Academic going through University - what are you doing with your textbooks? I went through the same education as you and I don't remember ever having a reason to ruin the spines of my books in the way newer witches seem to do. Are you throwing them against walls or off rooftops every time you mess up an incantation? I get the urge, but please - stop.

Also, if you dog-ear textbooks you know you'll be returning at the end of the season, I personally hate you. I'm not even a librarian anymore and I hate you.

This partial spine repair, done by our wonderful Preservation department, is so soothing to watch! The book is wrapped in a bandage at the end to further distribute the PVA glue and to apply gentle, even pressure as the glue dries.

This is a Kristin Minecraft/Trixtin/Lady Death roleplay blog. It isn’t a kinnie blog. This is a portrayal of a heavily headcanoned version of the character that Kristin and Philza play/mention on the Dream SMP and is not meant to portray the actual person.

Oh no! It seems that I’ve lost my husband to a fatal stab wound!

Where will I find a new husband? 🤔 Is there a market for that?

Welcome to phoenixchick!

a canon divergent c!Niki Nihachu rp blog, run by @likethesword. character uses she/her pronouns, admin uses she/they/bee

pfp credit goes to @theghosttownn here on Tumblr! (they also run papa-puffy, check it out!) header is just a png I pulled from google.

while c!Niki is an adult, I am not. So don't send overly sexual or triggering asks. Please just try to keep the content semi-normal, is that too much to ask?

“flame to ash” is my catchall angst tag, please block this if you’d rather not see the heavier content!

tagging system under the cut!

#ooc : exactly what it sounds like! anything I say that's out of character will be under this tag.

#birdsong : general talking tag! will also go under any ask responses.

#the flock : anon ask tag! I'll also tag character blogs as I interact with them.

#flame to ash : anything that might be considered triggering, such as talk about death or heavy lore events. I'll also do my best to tag specific triggers, so please let me know if I need to tag something!

#letters from embers (thread) : thread tag! long posts ahead

#let me tell you a story (ficlet) : ficlets! no character interaction required, but if you want to that’s fine. any ficlet will be used as main lore once it’s published

#photo wall : art! I am not an artist, so all of it will be reblogged!

#promises you couldn’t keep (letters) : sort of like an internal monologue, but directed at certain characters. don’t send asks about these, but if you run a blog about the character she’s writing to, feel free to interact or build a thread!

#life is a dream : for dream sequences or anything sleep related. probably won’t be used much

#the thrill of mortality (drista takeover) : used for an arc where drista (drista-the-chaos-goddess) possessed niki’s body.

Songbird Takeover Round II: 5/20

[goodluckclove]

Scott has been telling me a lot about the different types of attractions, and I've been really trying to listen and understand even though processing that wide a spectrum makes me forget about blinking until my vision gets blurry.

It's funny though, because once you get your world widened like that a lot more spills in than I think people expect. Because beforehand I thought there was just romantic attraction and sexual attraction. And I thought romantic attraction led into sexual attraction. But wow, I don't know if I'm the last person to realize this, but there's way more than that. There's almost a different kind of attraction to everything that can possibly happen. Like different shades of the same color.

Because there's when you're being kissed and touched and all of that, and then there's when you're just watching a person eat. Or when they're wearing your clothes. Or when you're sitting next to a certain person and you're faced towards them and this person is just there, looking at you as you look at them. Or even when they take off the clothes they took from your closet, and they're in their underwear - or in nothing at all - and it's not a sex thing or a lust thing, but just this overwhelming presence that feels almost divine. So you just stare, or you lean your head against his chest and listen to his heartbeat, and you feel his head settled on the back of your head, and every shade and color just blurs together into the experience of sight itself.

Or something. Something like that. I don't know.

I swear to god I saw a guy like this in the alley outside of work a week after I got hired. I was almost late that day because I'd never seen a Blue Jay in person and it was smaller than I expected, so I assumed it was a baby and spent almost an hour searching the nearby trees for its nest.

My head chef was pissed, but my boss heard what I was doing and told me that the bird I saw just hangs out in this neighborhood because of this street vendor on the corner that sells peanuts. This Cajun guy has been selling peanuts for decades and now he's king of the birds. What a life.

I haven't seen that bird in a long time. I hope he lived a good life.

P.S. This image looks fake to me. It looks like a stock photo of a Blue Jay pasted onto some grass. But this image is indeed, real.

Reminder that Edgar Gallows, "Straight" "Male" protagonist of Blind Trust and Songbird Elegies as a whole, will be taking over my blog for the entirety of Monday.

You can send him asks about things he would like to talk about and things he would not like to talk about. Out of the main four he will absolutely be the most entertaining to harass.

Scott might seem more interesting to bother but he is actually impossible to tease or mock online in any profound way and will usually respond with either direct thoughts or soft curiosity. Tenzin will be 100% unbothered unless she's tearing down your shit hot take, and if anyone bothers Katy she will bother them right back.

Scientifically, Edgar Gallows is the only one that will be the proper amount of confused and concerned. Do with that information what you will.

Do you like any “controversial” candies? I’m talking stuff like candy corn, black licorice, circus peanuts, peeps, etc etc

Peeps aren't controversial. Are Peeps controversial?

They're marshmallows. They're delicious. I'm not really into all the newer, more stylish flavors, but that's just because they're superfluous. Marshmallow is already a flavor.

I just looked up why people would hate Peeps and the first thing that comes up is because they're sweet. Yeah, they're candy. Someone else is complaining that they're not vegan. Yeah, they're marshmallows. What's the problem?

Someone is asking if the fact that Peeps uses pork-based gelatin makes it a meat product. I'm angry now. Do people know what gelatin is? Are they aware you can't fucking grill it?

Edgar Blog Takeover Sneak Peek!

Now Playing: Crosseyed and Painless - Talking Heads

For some reason I still think it's a good idea to try and make the recipes I come up with in my dreams. It's not like I have them all the time, but for some reason every time Katy takes me drinking I end up having crazy dreams where I end up making some kind of new meal.

This time it was onion ring nachos, and when I made them in my dream they made a lot of sense, right? I wasn't even surprised by myself in my dream. I was just like "yeah, hey, time to make onion ring nachos like I do all the time". So on a subconscious level I must have found it a viable idea. And then when I woke up I was - well, hungover. Very hungover. We tried to make picklebacks without a recipe so I think I was drunk off Jameson and just...brine. Ugh.

But through the headache I also didn't really think it was a bad idea, you know? People make chili cheese fries. That already exists, I didn't make that up. And I had just gone grocery shopping with Katy so she had actual food in her apartment - plus she had an air fryer. I wish I had an air fryer. I'm the only one that uses her air fryer. I wonder if she'd notice if I stole her air fryer.

Anyways, the recipe seemed simple. Just regular oven nachos with a basic canned chili sauce (I'm not about to, like, brown ground beef. Pull out the cumin? From where? I brought sea salt flakes to Katy's place once when I was making dinner and she acted like I pulled out a dish of caviar. And she wonders why I ask her in advance if she has butter), only you substitute onion rings for tortilla chips.

Cook the onion rings before hand, at least ten minutes longer than what the directions on the bag say because the directions on the bag are wrong most of the time. Then heat up the chili and drizzle it with shredded cheese and whatever toppings you can find in your trash-eating best friend's kitchen. Katy has maybe six different hot sauces, which is totally not excessive for someone who can't remember to keep bread stocked in their place.

When I plated it it seemed real. That's stupid. You know what I mean - it seemed like a meal. I even arranged the onion rings so they were more overlapping to allow a better distribution of chili. I sort of figured this was a fork meal, because even if you char the rings when you broil them with the chili they'll moisten and gain an uneven weight that doesn't make them great for picking up by hand. Other than that, I could see some bullshit food truck selling something like this for too much money.

Eating it was not great. I think the first thing I realized when I ate it was the importance of tortilla chips as a concept. Those motherfuckers are sturdy, with a surface area that actually allows the nacho to exist as a proper experience. Taste wise it was pretty good, slightly sweet from the cooked onion, salty and savory from the chili and hot sauces. But fuck it, I'll say it - the texture was bad. You shouldn't eat a food and only process the taste. I might as well have had it as a drink, it was unnerving.

It would work better if I just dipped the onion rings in the chili, and now I'm upset that I didn't just do that. So stupid.

Katy liked it. I ate about a third of the serving before it started depressing me, but then when I came back after taking a shower she'd taken the plate back to her daybed in the living room and was just sort of...eating seems like the wrong way to put it. Absorbing, maybe. Slurping? Whatever she was doing it was very slug-like and I think she was still probably kind of drunk.

Anyway dreams are dumb and tortilla chips are important. There's your lesson for the day.

Hiya Scott!

Do you have a favorite Greek myth or story??

Oh wow oh yeah The Iliad and The Odyssey are two of the coolest works of writing that I think exist. Tenzin and I used to play pretend when we were kids and I'd be Odysseus and she would be Achilles and we explore the underworld which was really just the woods and river on the edge of Bluerose.

It was really great because it was fun but also because I got to talk about death without her getting too upset. And also sometimes we'd find mushrooms and we could bring them home.

I like Odysseus because he's clever and inventive and he cries a lot but he doesn't give up. He's also driven by the kind of love I find I really relate to in a sense that I value and also try not to look too deeply into.

I have probably three different translations of Homer's work but I had to pack light when I left home. So I only took my Hammond translation of The Odyssey. It's not the most accurate to the original Greek but it's the edition my mom gave me when I was a kid because she thought it would be more accessible so I find it comforting.

It's really beat up. I should probably replace it.
