#I'm obsessed with poetry

[lesweetweirdo]

Desperate to make life a little more poetic,

To make it a little more tolerable.

Desperate to live.

laura palmer graduates by amy woolard

I can’t love them if their hands aren’t all tore up

From something, guitar strings, kitchen knives & grease

Burns, heaving the window ACs onto their crooked old

Sills come June. Fighting back. That porchlight’s browned

Inside with moth husks again & I can’t climb a ladder

To save my life, i.e., the world spins. Even when it’s lit,

It’s half ash. Full-drunk under a half-moon & I’m dazed

We’re all still here. Most of us, least. For the one & every

Girl gone, I sticker gold stars behind my front teeth so

I can taste just how good we were. I swear I can’t

Love them if they can’t fathom why an unlit ambulance

On a late highway means good luck. I hold my cigarette-

Smoking arm upright like I’m trying to keep blood

From rushing to a cut. What’s true is my shift’s over &

I’m here with you now & I’m wrapped up tight

On the steps like a top sheet like the morning paper

Before it’s morning. Look up & smile. What does it matter

That the stars we see are already dead. If that’s the case well

Then the people are too. Alive is a little present I

Give myself once a day. Baby, don’t think I won’t doll

Up & look myself fresh in the eyes, in the vermilion

Pincurl of my still heart & say: It’s happening again.

“What about Tolya? Aren't you worried about how he'll find us now?” “Unless he starts reciting epic poetry to Zoya, he'll be fine.”

Lewis Tan as Tolya Yul-Bataar & Sujaya Dasgupta as Zoya Nazyalensky

i've been listening to Can't Catch Me Now for days now.

it is my entire personality. it has consumed me. i-

the beauty, the rage, the sadness. i am BANGIng my head against the wall, do you understand me? 2023 is for the dystopic girlie reinassance and i feel so ALIVE.

#i need the hunger games like i need air #i need to be put down #i am rabid i am unwell i am not fit for organized society #tbosas #thg #the hunger games #the balad of songbirds and snakes #can't catch me now #olivia rodrigo #i mean do you remember the groundbreaking poetry of safe and sound? we were not worthy. #this is up there. i can't stop i'm so sorry i'm so obsessed with this song and like #how WELL it captures Lucy Gray's legacy. #the ability to make this fucking man hysteric enough that it would be his downfall #a girl like Katniss was always going to come along to deliver the final blow #a girl like Katniss was not just inevitable but like Lucy Gray only a matter of time #because even if it lands on top snow does fall in the end #coriolanus snow #coryo snow #lucy gray baird #katniss everdeen

Wedding Vows

You are my Paris. You are my New Orleans. Baby, you are my Home. I'll warm myself with the embers of your rage, I'll keep your lips from ever losing their smile, I will stand with you in life, death, and after death. I will be your conscience when you are blinded by betrayal I will be your shield when you have no fight left in you, May the magic in you and me witness the legacy we build.

– Evyona Gray

[coffeexxcigarettes]

Deserved

-

You hold me down,

Forcing the medicine I created

Past my lips.

It burns in an unfamiliar way,

All the way.

Exhausted,

My bones weeping with concern,

I swallow.

I swallow more.

I take the silver spoon into my mouth

With a sleepy, hopeful gaze.

Is this what love is?

I hope you're okay.

Just be okay.

i think what makes louis so fascinating to me as an unreliable narrator is that there are vanishingly few times when he actually lies, and even then they're lies of omission more than anything. in fact, the most straightforward lies he tells aren't actually in his narration but in the present ("you're in your 20's rashid" "he stuffs himself with honey and pineapple"), and they're for the sake of not blowing his lover's cover and psychosexually tormenting daniel. when inconsistencies pop up in the narration, it's rarely because louis is consciously lying. it's because his memory is, like anyone's, imperfect. none of us can remember exactly what happened to us a month ago, let alone decades ago. we all filter the past through the lens of our own experience. we would all editorialize and omit and forget things if we tried to tell someone our entire life's story. the only difference is that a) the psychological stakes for louis are sky-high because of all the trauma he's trying to bury and b) he has an investigative journalist picking apart the inconsistencies. some of those inconsistencies are minor and born of forgetfulness (the first "was it raining?") and some of them are astronomical and born of repression (the second "was it raining?") but they all, without almost no exception, stem from the liquid nature of memory rather than from any deliberate intent to mislead. and when louis does mislead, he's not so much misleading daniel or the audience as he is misleading himself.

#also i've been ruminating and posting about this all weekend so i didn't rehash it here but: #i'm also obsessed with the beauty and the poetry of his narration #because turning his past into poetry allows him to keep at a bit of a distance from what he's saying

Me staring at test results: It makes so much sense for her, but if I don't specify or elaborate, then we end up with the fanon take. Ugh, how do I easily explain that if you look at the word 'sex' through a much more old-fashioned lens instead of the modern one, that you'll get a vastly different picture of it?

/takes angycat.png typing to my tags

#[ ooc. ] don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. #[ post-it. ] in a way; you are poetry material. you are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. #[ i'm so tired. i need to write a post on this or something. and somehow add it to my pinned. in some way. ] #[ 'sex' and 'seduction' are /not/ wrong in my opinion. HOWEVER-- they are /very wrong/ if we go by modern labels and perception. ] #[ god the horror of writing a muse that is so interlaced in a modern world; setting and culture but seems to /ooze/ something archaic. ] #[ this level of refinement isn't of our times in my opinion. these things that she loves aren't commonly loved nowadays. ] #[ there's so much about her that is old-fashioned to me and it's so in my face. and yet fanon doesn't see it. ] #[ i can't believe i'm an old millennial who's screaming boomer or older things. ] #[ but like can we acknowledge that sex in today's age isn't the same as it used to be? not /always/ but more generally so. ] #[ can we acknowledge that /seduction/ didn't always mean what people see it to mean now? ] #[ can we acknowledge that the FEMME FETALE TROPE HAS CHANGED /LEAGUES/ since the 2000s? ] #[ which is my biggest beef actually. and maybe all of my frustration plays into this most. it's that the femme fatale now is sexualized. ] #[ while that is /not/ what the femme fatale used to be. kafka plays into the old school femme fatale so well. film noir days. ] #[ i had this same struggle on yelan where they make VERY OBVIOUS draws to it by her music in her trailer. god; the jazz. ] #[ but kafka suffers from this so very much as well to a point where i don't dare to call her a femme fatale because then it's fanon. ] #[ the fanon i hate so much. ] #[ but just uuuughhhh. UGHHH. it's so much to explain. ]

Spettacolare

Through all the years that have gone and

all the ones yet to come.

My love for you will remain

strong and true

just like the first time our fingers touched

on that stairway and

our lips met

in that common room.

Through all the seasons and

all the changes

my love for you will never fade.

For in my heart, you will always stay

my love,

my soulmate,

my everything.

So let the years fly by

for our love will always survive.

As long as you are by my side

forever and

always,

my dear,

my life.

Through the years

as the fire starts to mellow;

burning lines in the book of our lives;

though the binding cracks and

the pages start to yellow.

It's always like the start

of a warm summer breeze,

whispering secrets through the trees

tellin' I'll be in love with you

forever.

Just you and me.

❤️ Whumpril IV - Swaying ❤️

Poems from the perspective of Caretaker.

Oh, will you, won’t you, will you, won’t you fall? The world all holds its breath to watch you sway. No, boys. A slow song’s coming on, that’s all. I won’t, I will not, watch him die this way.

May I cut in and steal this dance from Death? With my hand on your waist, yours ‘round my neck, with drumming, nervous hearts and halting breath, let me lead you, swaying, from this wreck.

#No that's not John Wick what are you talking about I'm not obsessed and can definitely draw things that aren't JW related #...Actually yes it is. I wanted to give him a sword and a frighteningly tall woman who cares for his wellbeing. #but it could also be someone else if you want #john wick #john wick fanart #whumpril #whumpril 2024 #whump poetry #original poem #original art #whump caretaker #whump writing #swaying

TLSP meltdown of the day: just... These lyrics.

thank you for your attention.

#hm #hmm #hmmm #I'm thinking thoughts #not even completely formed thoughts really #just thoughts #france-themed. #love-related. #neverending spiral of hot and cold and together and apart. And one thing - then another thing #(I'm not saying anything in particular!) #(sidenote: I am also just obsessed with how they fucking flow and sound. their rhythm and melody. The poetry of them. UGH) #(SOMEONE PUT THESE TWO BOYS IN A ROOM AND MAKE THEM WRITE THIS POETRY TOGETHER AGAIN) #(and probably kiss a little) #(but that's besides the point) #(kind of)

[martianbugsbunny]

I love Wayne Visser for accidentally writing the most Kalluzeb-coded poems I've ever seen:

It's really giving Bahryn to me. Gentle embraces in the midst of pain especially; there are so many moments in the Honorable Ones (besides the obvious life-sparing one) when Zeb is clearly putting the fact that Kallus is injured ahead of the fact that he's an enemy, and he's not so rough with him as you might expect. And of course it was a night of anguish for both of them, as they recounted the most scarring moments of their lives side-by-side with their enemy, in the freezing cold, but there was the contrast of hope, of understanding, just like the contrasts in the poem.

This is giving post-Zero Hour. A whole lot. Courage blossoms in the midst of fear—I mean come on, Kallus just turned his back on his entire life up to this point to join a rebellion that may or may not succeed, but he still did it. And now he and Zeb are no longer mortal rivals, but friends and compatriots, and whatever healing either of them has yet to do can be done together, as two wounded warriors fighting for a better future.

This is just...very Kalluzeb. This is them. Their lives during the Rebellion, when they're not always together on the same missions; their lives after the Rebellion, when they've found peace and they have to adjust to not being at war anymore; their lives together at all knowing they used to be enemies, but also that they were somehow pulled together by the Ashla for better things.

The poem is called Kismet. And how could they believe that it took anything less than an act of fate to bring them together, with all the history they had? How much more blessed could their union be, if destiny itself worked on their behalf?

#kalluzeb #garazeb orrelios #zeb #alexsandr kallus #star wars #Star Wars rebels #Wayne visser #kismet #this guy just writes poems that give kalluzeb so hard #I mean his love poetry as a whole really gets me #but the stuff that gives kalluzeb is in an entire other realm of me loving it #also there are lines in a lot of his work that make for really good fic titles in case any of you all were looking for inspiration #poetry #please guys I'm begging you be as obsessed with this as I am #be insane about it with me #martianbugsbunny ships
