#but less beautiful.

[inkskinned]

i love when words fit right. seize was always supposed to be that word, and so was jester. tuesday isn't quite right but thursday should be thursday, that's a good word for it. daisy has the perfect shape to it, almost like you're laughing when you say it; and tulip is correct most of the time. while keynote is fun to say, it's super wrong - i think they have to change the label for that one. but fox is spot-on.

most words are just, like, good enough, even if what they are describing is lovely. the night sky is a fine term for it but it isn't perfect the way november is the correct term for that month.

it's not just in english because in spanish the phrase eso si que es is correct, it should be that. sometimes other languages are also better than the english words, like how blue is sloped too far downwards but azul is perfect and hangs in the air like glitter. while butterfly is sweet, i think probably papillion is more correct, although for some butterflies féileacán is much better. year is fine but bliain is better. sometimes multiple languages got it right though, like how jueves and Πέμπτη are also the right names for thursday. maybe we as a species are just really good at naming thursdays.

and if we were really bored and had a moment and a picnic to split we could all sit down for a moment and sort out all the words that exist and find all the perfect words in every language. i would show you that while i like the word tree (it makes you smile to say it), i think arbor is correct. you could teach me from your language what words fit the right way, and that would be very exciting (exciting is not correct, it's just fine).

i think probably this is what was happening at the tower of babel, before the languages all got shifted across the world and smudged by the hand of god. by the way, hand isn't quite right, but i do like that the word god is only 3 letters, and that it is shaped like it is reflecting into itself, and that it kind of makes your mouth move into an echoing chapel when you cluck it. but the word god could also fit really well with a coathanger, and i can't explain that. i think donut has (weirdly) the same shape as a toothbrush, but we really got bagel right and i am really grateful for that.

grateful is close, but not like thunder. hopefully one day i am going to figure out how to shape the way i love my friends into a little ceramic (ceramic is very good, almost perfect) pot and when they hold it they can feel the weight of my care for them. they can put a plant in there. maybe a daisy.

#warm up #writeblr. #i am not going to personally comment on the pineapple debate #some things are too big for me. #maybe we could have everything on earth choose their own names. #wouldn't that be fun #it is a creative writing exercise. okay. ily #''why only these languages?'' ..... bc i dont know every language #sorry :( #PLEASE leave me comments about what words u think are correct. i love learning them #btw! this isn't saying these are the most BEAUTIFUL words for it... just the words that are the most CORRECT #like i quite like the word ''keynote'' as mentioned. it's got a lot of fun sounds in it. #but it is not CORRECT. #''gloaming''' is interesting and fun and poetic but it is NOT correct . evening is MORE correct #but less beautiful. #does that make sense?

The Fall of the House of Usher is many things and I'm making a conscious choice to not scream about every single one of them rn, but what left me staring at a wall in tears is just... kindness. Death was kind. She gave every choice, every reason to stop. She would take these kids anyway but she also regretted having to take them like that. She cared when nobody else would, even though they kept making the wrong choices.

She's never cruel for cruelty's sake. She wasn't cruel to Lenore. She just sent a child to sleep as lovingly as she could, with kind words and kinder touch.

And I don't even know how to express the absolute heartbreak with blinding warmth among the cracks, when Death herself kneels before one man, worst man, honest man, who refused her offer – and thanks him with such respect.

Mike Flanagan, you fucking did it again. Carla Gugino, you... I don't even have words for you. That's a whole-ass masterpiece of human soul, meaning, and searching right there.

Kiss Death with kindness in the end

And when she parts

You part as friends

#i keep spinning it in my head #when you least expect it they kill you with kindness dammit #there's also a billion of other important themes here but they get more or less talked up #and i just wanted to say this #god what a beauty this story holds #the fall of the house of usher #tfothou #tfothou spoilers #tfothou tv #mike flanagan #flanaverse #carla gugino #netflix

My favorite genre of scene with the Straw hats is when they're all frightened they're going to get killed by a big big scary monster and Luffy looks at the creature like he's gonna befriend a tiny cute beetle

#look at him enjoying every little thing #he literally couldn't care less he's so sure they're making it out alive and safe i love him #not gonna get too deep but the trust he has on the crew and himself and the fact that he doesn't fear things like this one is so beautiful #also he looks extremely adorable i am going to eat him i am going to bite him nomnom #one piece #monkey d. luffy #strawhat pirates

[kalofi]

hello girl i want you

#one piece #op #art #buggy the clown #red hair shanks #buggy #shanks #shuggy #suggestive #buggy is beautiful. to ME. he’s always been beautiful in my mind #so i drew how i envision him and hope u all enjoy as well #plus shanks talking about carrying his balls around in his purse #me disguising my insane fantasies as things shanks would say so i feel less shame

A question I have just recently,

can Sebek handle spicy?

this is what i generally think of fae.

tho i think,

lilia knows spicy spices from his travel.

even tho in dragon form, malleus breathes fire from his mouth, and fire is hot, it might be like the kind of fire that doesn't hurt him in the first place

sebek father might bring spicy spice from human world with him, but since i think of him as a mellow man, he might not be interested in spicy food in the first place

#honestly it makes me wonder all the nrc students ability to handle spiciness & i wish everyone would start putting them into tiers #twst #twisted wonderland #do i tag this as sebek #i do want to know what others think of him #sebek zigvolt #i think the octas would be very bad at it #but floyd probably keeps on challenging it so he gains tolerance over it #riddle would be very bad with it #ace would be pretty good #but deuce would be a little less #or do u think punk him would dare other punks on spicy food #who would shed tears #who would break a sweat #who would eat like it's nothing #who would wail asking the great seven to take them to the after world #i am just wondering bcs of the rabbit sausage roll in deuce hometown #leona who never lift a finger finally break a sweat from spicy food #who knows we even see tears in his eyes while he endures it silently #can vil stay beautiful eating spicy food #despite his tough claim can epel handle spicy #anyhow do u know there's samyang 1/2 spicy now #that's the only one i can eat without suffering like actually enjoying it #idia i feel like he would wrinkle from spicy food #but what if he is some connoisseur of instant noodles so he had been eating spicy ones quite a lot #my brother always love to see me suffer over spiciness

There's nothing he can't do. Yet.

(Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #bonus comic #This whole poll and comic is very inspired by a convo I had with qourmet in one of their art streams. #namely that the Art Of Grilling is a powerful skill separate from cooking. #I've also been inspired by said convo to try and learn how to grill. What's the point of having a garden if I can't grill my summer squash? #Anyways. I hope this appeases the crowd that has been in arms about the prev prev poll. #I don't think teenji can cook. I think lan wangji is just very good at dedicating himself to whatever craft he needs to pick up. #give him a day and he will be a grill dad #the most powerful beast of the summer lawn biome. #Until then he will lie awake at night. Haunted by this inadequacy. He's just like me for real (chronic perfectionist). #I think this is the first domestic wangxian post i've made. God I'm so sorry wangxian fans. #wwx could not care *less* abt lwj having flaws. I think thats the beauty of this relationship. they *know* about each other's flaws FIRST. #Love each people *because* of the flaws - not despite them (thats my unsolicited advice for the day). #also if you noticed my medium gray marker slowly giving out...today it finally died on me....

everyone loves the homestar runner. he is a terrific athlete! (i plushified him also)

#honest truest most sincere opinion from me: i kind of got bummed out when homestar runner started to become less about well. Homestar runner #because never have i seen a character so charmingly silly and airheaded like him. Something about homestar's personality is so beautiful #in a way that taps deep into my soul #and i really wish he had as much screen time as sb did because he means sooooo much to me as a character unironically #homestar runner #polymersart

There's no turning back.

When I first met him... he was the most gallant of lovers. He knew so many things. He delighted in sharing his knowledge. He had a castle full of treasures, and he took such pleasure in showing them, giving them to me. He was so gentle, and his skin felt like white silk against my skin. And I gave what I could give to one such as he. When we made love, it was like a flame: I felt utterly engulfed, utterly loved. Treasured. I have been with many poets, many dreamers... but his love alone was ice and fire. His eyes were stars.

Headcanon that Team Soulfire isn't Immune to the Cold

Headcanon that they just know to fear it-they're human like everybody else, for the most part. Green Gay Ninjas weren't immune to the relentless heat of the jungle, nor were Bolas Rojas immune to the ever-present radiation that blanketed the plains they called home. No, they adapted, and so did Soulfire.

The cold didn't change Soulfire's body, it changed their mind.

When Ironmouse suggests taking Empanada up the mountain for the scenic view, Tina bundles her in five layers of coats and stuffs newspaper in between. She swats Ironmouse's hand away when the demon tries to give their daughter a thick parka colored pink because-

"Those kinds of coats don't save you. They just make you think that you have longer to live."

When BadBoyHalo sets out to build the massive snowmen that tower over Quesadilla Island, he gathers food. Digestion keeps you warmer for longer, and it keeps you alive.

He gives a bundle of chicken to Dapper and bread to Pomme-

"Dad, why do we need so much food?"

BadBoyHalo's smile falters.

"Because it keeps us warm."

Tubbo doesn't count in sets of five, ten. His are composed of four, eight, twelve, sixteen-

"Why don't you have all your fingers, pa?" Sunny asks one day, as Tubbo is trying to figure out the amount of snow that they would have needed to collect to fill the Tubhole.

Tubbo doesn't answer. The feeling of frostbite, of necrosis, of that realization that if you want to stay alive any longer you have to leave your fingers behind, it's all too familiar to the young mechanic. It's a feeling that he wishes nobody else had to know.

It's not just the leaders either, nor the original Soulfire members (though they bear the brunt of this incessant memory). Bagi seems to always have a cup of tea going on the stove, Rivers stopped wearing flip-flops ages ago (you can't really wear flip-flops when you're missing two toes on either foot), and Missa tries to play it off like it's nothing when he gives Chayanne and Tallulah thick winter coats as a coming back gift.

Team Soulfire isn't immune to the cold. They had to learn how to survive, and learning meant failing, again and again and again. The lessons that came from the mountain aren't ones that they will forget any time soon.

#qsmp #qsmp team soulfire #team soulfire #qsmp purgatory #qsmp tinakitten #tinakitten #qsmp badboyhalo #badboyhalo #qsmp tubbo #tubbo #I saw someone headcanon that soulfire was less affected by the cold and that is such a cool headcanon #but hear me out #this has so many angst possibilities #it's beautiful #qsmp team blue #qsmp blue team #covering all my bases #so many angst possibilities
