یوں دیکھتے رہنا اُسے اچھا نہیں محسنؔ

وہ کانچ کا پیکر ہے تو پتھر تری آنکھیں

Youn dekhty rehna usy acha nahi "Mohsin"

Wo kaanch ka Paikar hai to pathar teri Aankhain

The sun is your halo, for it is always above you.

#It's a line from a poem I wrote I love poetry fun fact #oh the poems I could write about arthur but I shall not #<- fears the cringe #but I also just love taking pictures of arthur and the sun #he's perfect #I'm like a sponge for all kinds of imagery I soak that shit up it keeps me going #I'm a real yapper #but alas #I have my silly little blog to yap on #and lovely followers <3 #mwah #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #arthur morgan #weetabix my horse #red dead redemption community #liveblogging

"it's so embarrassing you like that popular thing" "oh ew that geeky/strange thing is so cringe lol" "oh it's kind of weird you get excited about that harmless shit"

dude i love how ironic and jaded you are and that's so cool and sexy of you. and i am so so glad to tell you - you won!! we all had a meeting and we decided that you won, and we are writing your name on the inside of a burger king crown. the marker smeared, sorry, but we knew any form of real effort is ugly to you. but anyway. congrats! you are officially the coolest, most ironic, most jaded person in-the-world-right-now. we would throw you a party but you would think it was totally boring - and besides, we're weird so we wouldn't have been coming. we would have brought our love of beetles and of baking and of little canapes. we would have brought our artsy videogames and pages of writing. we would have written a poem with you, our hands covered in ink, and spread out a canvas to dance on, the night so lurid and pink.

but do not worry. we will not throw the party. we will just get you a ringlight and that crown i mentioned. it is a nice crown, except for where one of us dropped it.

the vote was a really hard one because we had so many cool ironic people to pick off the shelves. all of you have hands that rot fruit, how strange is that - you can't look at something without destroying it for other people. you like it when you can squeeze a person into a pinpoint - all us small ones scampering our little feet around our ugly joys. the vote was also a hard one because we kept our voices down because you don't like it when we talk too loud. you were on your phone at the time, talking to people other than us. you are a ghoul of every moment - half in, half out, you resent us for being here without shame or embarrassment.

so good news! we have invented an island for people like you. you get to go there and speak into the air things like if you still like watching harmless twitch streamers in 2023 you're fucking boring. you will say things like liveplay podcasts are fucking ugly and it's kind of awkward they try to make everything gay. on the island we made you, all of your words will have weight. they will form in the air like icicles, large white behemoth letters that will crumple in anvils around your feet. maybe we will send someone there once in a while to sweep, but honestly you might be there for a while, alone, waiting. we are busy being outside looking for mushrooms and flapping our hands and humming. we are busy kicking our little heels while we watch cringey tv. we are busy - sorry! as an apology, we have pre-filled the island with every bland, mediocre, unscented thing we could find. the island has the texture of american cheese. the island has an ocean that never gets angry. the island is perfect for you, trust me. you will be so happy there - as happy as you can be, ironically.

we want to say we are sorry for doing harmless things that you find annoying, childish, or unappealing - but we are not sorry. we thought we could help you, because we don't mind laughing at ourselves, but it turns out you are allergic to color and noise and atmosphere, so this is the best that we can do for now. we are all making a big shirt that says i voted in the ironic monarchy. we got you one that is just a fast fashion buttondown. i am so excited for you and this island and the big life you have won. you have a cool jaded grey life and miles of irony to roam. i love you! be well.

now leave us alone.

#spilled ink #writeblr #slam poetry #i started this as a joke and ended up taking after #the poem about all the women in the world meeting in the bathroom #i can't find it to link it directly i've been googling for like 15 minutes if someone can remember #turns out frantically googling the only lines like ''women meeting in the bathroom'' #''secret womens meeting you always believed happened" is not useful for . to search??? help :( #also the reason this says harmless so many times is bc like #this is 100% about like #yeah man when ppl are mean about ppl enjoying things like. fuckin lady gaga #like this is so obviously about ppl who steal ur joy for no reason (i WILL steal ur joy if ur a bigot btw) #also yes it's bc someone was like ''liking the mcelroys in 2023 is cringe'' #and im like. dude what the fuck literally just let people like things it's LITERALLY not that deep. #like i dont like centipedes theyre one of like the 2 bugs im squicked out by ... but like. #if u really like centipedes. im like so happy for you. i hope you can put socks on ur centipedes #so they can speedclean ur floors. that would be fun and cool!!! #i love u i hope all of you have a weird passion i love you i hope that passion fills your life like soap bubbles

Khud ko tabah kar liya aur malal bhi nahi

Yai mujhe chain kyun nahi parhta

Zindagi kis tarah basar hogi

Kitna khamosh hoon main andar se

Hum ko yaaron ne bhi yaad bhi na rakha

|| Apology; The Way I Don't Know How TNO

And to say I was sorry is to fall to my knees and cry. And a man like me has never been allowed so a man like me doesn't try. Wail of infant song lost ages behind hearts of ours. Glance between water lines find them as prison bars. Only you, Old Girl, only you.

To beg forgiveness to mend, is to ask rain for no water. To force more words out bloody lips is to ask you a final kiss in the end.

Silenced by a heartbeat my name couldn't leave your lung. Your name was the last breath I borrowed from you, as it stung. As do I, Old Girl, as do I.

Zeng Shunxi's Goodbye to Fang Duobing

Original video on Weibo:

去岁初夏逢君¹盛² Last year, at the beginning of summer, I met the flourishing you. 今朝花落²梦方醒 Now, as the flowers fall, Fang wakes from his dream. 故事到此收笔 This story has since reached its end, 但人生还长 But life still goes on, 江湖路远 And the roads of the jianghu stretch far. 意气江湖正道³安 The spirit of the jianghu lies in following the correct path; 风华正茂⁴是少年 At life’s blossoming is the youth. 愿将来的方小包 I wish that the future Fang Xiaobao 经历风雨⁵ Will forge through wind and storms 不忘少年初心⁶ Without forgetting the original aspirations of his youth. 走遍人间 Even after walking to the ends of the mortal world, 仍有他路可寻 There remain other roads that can be sought for. 山高水长见日光⁷ The mountains are lofty and the rivers are long; everyday, may you see the light of the sun; 始终不忘少年样 And from the beginning to the end, may you not forget your younger self. 前路存知己⁸ The road ahead harbors the one who knows your heart, 江湖有相逢 for in the jianghu, there exist reunions. 于道各努力⁹ Work hard on every path you take; 千里自同风⁹ Even separated by a thousand li, he and you are buffeted by the same wind. 方多病 Fang Duobing, 希望你不服众望¹⁰ I hope you will not disappoint everyone’s expectations, 成为下一个传奇 And become the next legend.

Detailed explanations (footnotes) under the cut!

Any mistakes are my own.

1. 君 is a formal and literary way to say “you.” It can also be used to refer to lords, monarchs, rulers, etc. 

2. Note the juxtaposition of 盛 “flourishing” (also: splendorous; vigorous; blooming) and 落 “falling” flowers.

3. The 正道 can also be understood as the “orthodox path.” In Buddhism, it is the right way: it is the path of correct principles and of doing the right things.

4. 风华正茂 is an idiom that simply means “in one’s prime.” I chose to invoke imagery that would call back to the beginning two lines about flowers.

5. 经历风雨 is an idiom that means “to go through thick and thin.” 

6. 初心 is a commonly invoked theme in such coming-of-age stories (which this thematically may as well be, for FDB) and translates literally to “the heart at one’s beginning.” For FDB, it would mean keeping his principles of justice and goodness in mind, no matter what he goes through.

7. 山高水长 can be an idiom that describes one’s personality and/or character. This line can also be understood as praising FDB’s noble and optimistic/positive character (见日光: seeing sunlight; sunny-dispositioned; always looking on the bright side).

8. 前路存知己 is very similar in phrasing to a line from Tang Dynasty poet Gao Shi’s 《别董大》 (Farewell to My Friend Dong): 

莫愁前路无知己 Worry not, on the road ahead, that you will lack someone who knows your heart. 天下谁人不识君  Beneath these skies, who will not know your name?

If you watched 《说英雄谁是英雄》 Heroes (2022), this line will probably be familiar.

9. These two lines come from the end of Song Dynasty poet Zhou Xingji’s 《送友人东归》 (Sending My Friend to Return East), which I believe laments the pains of a long-distance friendship. The lines that ZSX has quoted here essentially encourages FDB to continue working hard on the life path he has chosen, despite how the sadness of separation can feel unbearable, for even if he and his friend (LLH) are a thousand li apart, they will ultimately reach the same goal and destination.

10. I thought it was interesting that he uses 服 and 望, because the phrasing is very similar to LLH’s letter at the end of the series, when he apologizes to DFS (终有服君之所望): “I have failed you ultimately.”

#mysterious lotus casebook #莲花楼 #zeng shunxi #fang duobing #mine #when i found out that ZSX was quoting a poem i wanted to cry #1) bc it's really hard to translate lines from poetry out of context #2) because oh my god?? my FangHua heart?? #they're zhiji... 🥺🥺🥺 #my translation #have i really not made a tag for that... i cant remember

im gonna be honest, i love gay headcanons, but a bunch of characters people claim are "canonically" gay just have a close relationship to their friends. like some of you haven't platonically let someone play with your hair. also why do i keep seeing it in relation to incest shut the fuck up shut up siblings can hug each other

#like it's so weirdddd #i dont claim to be an expert on intimacy but some of the “canon gay subtext” i see are so boring #where is the romance #the allusions. the poetry of it. the lines you've crossed #even in toxic ones that you shouldnt aspire for but are just interesting in how it plays in plot. #like this is just how people who are close act #i know im complaining on the website where 2 attractive men can sit next to eachother and get shipped if they're handsome enough #but still #also. again. i hate seeing incest it give me hives

the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless

#they deserve more love and discussion #saying this while also not knowing what to say other than they’re so fucking good #alan wake 2 #i think it’s partially because poets of the fall’s tracks are iconic so of course they’re in the spotlight (as deserved) #but also the CHAPTER SONGS. them being made for a given chatacter(s) with the help of Sam lakes poetry #the changes with ‘this road’ by Poe with every Alan chapter. becoming more distorted and revealing lyrics and the spiral #the scratch song being 1) hilarious and 2) similar to Zane’s poetry in the aw1 arg #the emotion in superhero when saga feels lost at the story making it so Logan was gone #the lines of her feeling like a ghost in this story forming around her.. how she feels guilty and absent for both what the story’s doing #and being away from Logan because of her job. ashdhhhhjhh my heart #AND. follow you into the dark HAS to be alice. which kills me because at for at I thought of Alan #but no. Alice jumped in the dark place after him. it’s so !!!!!!!!!!! #the rabbit hole line. Alice spiraling deeper and deeper into a dream—into wonderland #the Lost at Sea one is also good. intrigues me. the Bowie and Lynch references are blatantly aw2 Zane #but it’s so similar to diver Zane and the ‘originals’ death. being lost in the dark place with illusions of escape #and losing any sense of identity. whether he’s real at all or the monster of this sea or just a lost soul. #the soft and calm vocals / instrumental really makes the whole thing #NEED to stop typing more tags because this is a Lot. however. #‘no one left to love’ is also a phenomenal song and one of my favorites from the album. GORGEOUS vocals and how it all flows together. #such a powerful and beautiful way to end a chapter #anyway that’s all I had to say :) #god. I’ve started to watch a few playthroughs of the game and 90% of people have skipped the chapter songs and every time im #that’s fair but my brain and soul might implode if I don’t see anyone else talking about how good these songs are

Fuck it we ballin’

A Phoenix’s Lament

———————————————

In realms where shadows kiss the sky,

Where thoughts of death and purpose lie,

Amidst the chaos, battle's breath,

In an instant, all meets death.

A speargun's sting, a heart's lament,

A primal scream, a soul's torment,

Dedicated life, decisions made,

Now vengeance burns, an angry shade.

Faces wronged, memories clear,

Etch themselves, no room for fear,

“Have you had enough?” they say?

No, I haven't, not today.

Drowning in seas of seething rage,

Every fiber calls for retribution's stage,

Once peaceful waters, now tempest's mire,

I'll never rest, I'll never tire.

Life cut short, memories ignite,

Fanning the flames of purpose anew

Beyond myself, a legacy born,

Justice demands, a new era sworn.

This is my sunrise, this is my dawn,

From ashes reborn, I'll carry on,

For it’s not just me, but a world to mend,

A phoenix now risen, and I’m not going back

imagine Genji hyping Hanzo up all night to get on the karaoke stage and when he finally does, he sings this and the whole room goes silent before Hana throws her drink at him and tells him to get off the stage

#after so many years we get his canon karaoke lines and theyre as depressing as i would hope #hes not even singing im love him so much #i bet his poetry is the same if not worse #hanzo shimada #overwatch 2 #ovw lore #i suppose
