Crown Prince Thistle of the Fenlands, Lord of Shadowmoss, Theodore Berrie, the Stag Prince

All the fear and the fire of the end of the world Happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl Happens great, happens sweet Happily, I'm unfazed here, too

All the things yet to come are the things that have passed Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass Like the bonfire that burns That all words in the fight fell to

Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you

And I love too that love soon might end Be known in its aching Shown in the shaking Lately of my wasteland, baby Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking Though quaking, though crazy That's wasteland, baby

When the stench of the sea and the absence of green Are the death of all things that are seen and unseen Are an end but the start of all things that are left to do

“A mycelial network is a map of a fungus’s recent history and is a helpful reminder that all life-forms are in fact processes not things. The ‘you’ of five years ago was made from different stuff than the ‘you’ of today. Nature is an event that never stops. As William Bateson, who coined the word genetics, observed, ‘We commonly think of animals and plants as matter, but they are really systems through which matter is continually passing.’”

— Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life

When I die I want this written on my gravestone

[thorns-ofthe-thistle]

putting it in my will that i want a “poison swamp-themed funeral” and letting my surviving family sort out what the fuck that means

[thorns-ofthe-thistle]

If you’re at my funeral and you think it’s a little boring, just spice it up. Drink a little too much. Flirt with a few people here and there. Start a fight. It’s what I would’ve wanted

[thorns-ofthe-thistle]

Do not go to my grave and weep you are so annoying

[thorns-ofthe-thistle]

*coughs up blood* how do i look? do i look good? was that hot?

[thorns-ofthe-thistle]

Come love, make me better than I was.

Come teach me a kinder way               to say my own name.

Prince Thistle of the Fenlands && Alice Liddell-Kingsleigh

If only you knew The sunlight shines a little brighter The weight of the world's a little lighter The stars lean in a little closer All because of you I want to see You lift your chin a little higher Open your eyes a little wider Speak your mind a little louder 'Cause you are royalty
