I get why people share Richard Siken quotes out of context, trust me I do it too, they’re incredibly impactful.

But reading all of Crush really makes all those lines hit even more like a truck, especially juxtaposed with how silly or lighthearted some parts of his most tragic poems can be

when olivia rodrigo said “tried so hard to be everything that you like/ just for you to say you’re not the compliment type” and when chappell roan said “And I try to be the chill girl/That holds her tongue and gives you space” and when richard siken said “Love, for you, is larger than the usual romantic love… it’s like a religion. it’s terrifying. no one will ever want to sleep with you” and when mitski said “So if you need to be mean/Be mean to me” and dodie said “I kissed someone because it's fair/ Oh, do I tell you, would you care?/ So deeply hurt, you beg for who/ Or are you kissing someone too?” and when boygenius said “I came prepared for absolution, if you'd only ask/ So I take some offense when you say, ‘No regrets’” and when girl in red said “So, I'll be willing to let this die, / Able to look you right in the eyes, / Say I'm not your consolation prize” and when

You want a better story. Who wouldn’t?

[ID: A dark, monochrome digital sketch of Arthur Lester as he is bleeding out. Arthur is half-lying on the ground with his shirt off while John's shadowy humanoid figure holds him. Arthur's left hand is clenched with John's over a grievous stomach wound while John buries his entire face in Arthur's shoulder. Arthur is saying, "We've had worse," with a shaky smile, while John repeats "No no no no no no NO NO NO NO" with increasing emphasis. End ID] (ID from @genderfluid-druid)

#malevolent spoilers #Moral of the story: never take your shirt off #even if you’re eldritch partner asks you too #malevolent podcast #fan art #my art #Arthur lester #arthur malevolent #john doe #john malevolent #that line is not a dig at the podcast btw malevolent is a GREAT story #the quote is from Richard sikens litany in which certain things are crossed out #aka my FAVORITE POEM that has so many lines I connect to malevolent #and eventually I’m going to make one of those comparison quotes with malevolent and Richard siken #I swear to god #blood tw #injury tw

hi, i love your webweaves so much ! if it's not too much trouble, could you please webweave something based on recovering from the hurtful actions of someone you used to love, and struggling with how to feel afterwards about that person and how they truly felt about you (whether they loved/cared for you or not) ? thank you so much !

i hope you're doing okay <33
