The Grimwalker Children’s Rhyme
(Headcanons + a handclapping song for fan works)
Thinking of the Boiling Isles and how Grimwalkers are clearly semi-common knowledge. Except, they seem to be more old legends or folk tales. Then, my baby cousin wanted to play ring around the rosie and ‘london bridge’. They both are dark if you look at the historical context, but without it they just sound like nonsensical silliness.
So, I decided to write my own version of what I think a Grimwalker children’s rhyme/song would look like. Specifically as a hand-clapping game or a jumpeope/hopscotch game. Feel free to use it in any works of your own. Just be sure to credit me — My username on every other site is Icey5105
I’m picturing this as the kids don’t know what a Grimwalker is and no one actually knows the whole process to make a Grimwalker anymore. As for the history, I’m following a head canon I’ve seen before that Grimwalkers used to be primarily to give grieving mothers a way to still have their dead or stillborn babies. Possibly even without the understanding that this isn’t their actual child that’s been revived, but a clone. It used to be a much more common practice before Palistrom started becoming harder to find or maybe they realized that Grimwalkers weren’t actually the same people anymore so they got a bad rep. There were likely some discrimination/judgment over them, because they aren’t witches and if the lack of magic isn’t just a Hunter thing… yeah. They would not be treated fairly.
Anyway, here we are! The Grimwalker Children’s Rhyme:
Grimwalker, Grimwalker,
One two three.
My baby is lost to me.
Grimwalker, Grimwalker,
Four, five, six,
Toss him in with palistrom sticks.
Grimwalker, Grimwalker,
Seven, eight, nine.
Bury him and he’ll be fine.
Grimwalker, Grimwalker,
Clock strikes ten.
Now my baby’s back again.

I wrote a poem from chuuya's pov!!
(I suck at titling so don't judge this)
O grantors of dark disgrace I feel like I’ve spent my life licking my wounds, ripping open stitches before they get to heal.
Destruction runs through my veins, lifeblood, I unleash it. Maybe one day it’ll kill me. Maybe I don’t care.
You always bring me back from the brink, breathe life back into this body. This trust we have, it’s fickle yet firm, it continues to pulse despite everything.
And you say “humans are hypocrites,” well, then we must be the most humanlike monsters to have ever lived.

Haikus for the Fallen Humans
Hope stopped believing
That humanity’s core was
Good, despite it all
Patience was tired
Of waiting for their life to
Improve on its own
Bravery was scared
They had messed up too badly
To just return home.
Integrity was
Living a lie and saw no
Attention was paid.
Perseverance just
Could not find a way to go
On another day
Kindness withheld it
From themself and fell to hell
Cruelty to themself
Justice was offered
To an unjust cause and
The cycle goes on
Determination
Gave up.

RavioliShipWeek
Day 1: Love (Platonic/Romantic/Friend) or Favorite Au
Like a Shooting Star
The chill of a spring night blows through them.
Scarves swaying, skirts rustling
Hands clasped together for heat and
A blanket pulled close around two shoulders 
side by side.
There’s a darkness all around
But a lightness in their hearts.
The quiet of the night
Battling against their soft voices.
Sitting down, leaning back
Looking up; there they are.
A million stars to stare at
A thousand to name,
And one night to enjoy them all.
“That star is called the lion in Labrynna”
Says one pointing out a constellation. 
“Really? It’s so different in Lorule.”
Says the other smiling.
Hundreds of names for stars
But only one for this: Love. 
Heads tilted towards each other
And smiles only for one another.
A small moment in the world
But an important moment in life.
Just laughter and fun
Romance and companionship.

Sweet Song
Just a little Wolfstar poem I wrote. Watching Teen Wolf I learned that wolves go for the throat when they kill, adding to my headcannon that Remus is quite protective of his neck, but he trusts Sirius.
The strings of my heart lay in the veins of my neck,
You are so close, I feel your breath
You who could cut, rip, and kill
Choose to play a sweet song instead

N’s Lament (One Moment More)
I know sacrifice. It’s worth the full price, To hold one moment more within my hands. I won't take your life. She can’t make me decide That the world is worth more without you. So hold my hand in yours, And spend one moment more With me, before the end of the world. Lets run under the dark With nothing but our spark And the ticking of the clock within our hearts.

Hello?
I call,
No one hears.
Hello?
I scream,
Call out my fears.
They don’t listen.
They never do.
Just wait another day,
You won’t see any blue.
I’m tired,
I’m done.
I’m sick,
I’ve won.
You’ll all be sorry,
For how you’ve ignored me,
Because I’m done being calm,
I’m going to be free.

A Miracle I Chose Not to Perform - a LiS fan poem
On a surprisingly sunny and warm day in October
a genuine miracle was about to happen
In spite of the consequences of their actions
(and fitting conclusions to their character arcs)
emerging from the ocean and coming their way
the following wonderful people would be spared:
A promising young artist would be allowed
to keep making his haunting works
after just a brief three year stay
in an institution run by those
who clearly fail to comprehend
that in pursuit of real art
sacrifices must be made
Some shallow graves simply need to be filled
with whores
I mean sluts
I mean models
if truth and beauty are to be discovered
An ambitious businessman would be allowed to keep
the spirit of entrepreneurship alive
by selling his intoxicatingly enticing wares
to the most challenging customers of all – schoolchildren
And I’m sure that such a nice, hard-working man
would soon find a new, suitably young match
to replace the one he killed with his product
One that would understand
that after a hard day’s work
(and tasting his own stash)
a “man” has the right to explode into a blind rage
A devoted school principal and brave boys in blue
would be allowed to keep supplementing their incomes
(which are absolutely inadequate, when you factor in how much they care about the people they teach, protect and serve)
with envelopes coming from
a pillar of local community
for keeping the young artist’s career
under wraps
A valued member of the student body
would be allowed to teach
many a more stuck-up prudes
a lesson using her phone camera
having never been made aware
that other people have feelings too
All those wonderfully revolting things
would be allowed to happen
for a low tall Price
of just one murdered girl
What is the murder of a single girl
if it allows the putrid entrails
of a scenic Oregon town
to keep on churning
An irrationally angry girl
who had the audacity to confront
the boy who'd merely roofied her
Big deal!
He only wanted to
do something beautiful to her
and he would have
had she not unceremoniously fled
while she was still alive
How rude!
But you can’t expect class
from a scholarship kid in tattered clothes
Forgive my sarcasm dripping from the page
I will now speak plainly
The miracle described above I chose not to perform
I decided that just this once
friendship
should carry more weight
than the cruelty of evildoers
One ghoul pierced her heart
with a bullet-tipped spear
Another placed a red crown of thorns
on her forehead
Conquering her fear she didn’t cry
„Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani”
No, instead she handed me
the final nail
and begged me to hammer it
so that others might live while she would die
But despite her bravery
in the face of oblivion
(or perhaps because of it)
a blue-winged seraph was sent down
to defend her life
Nobody would miss her
the promising artist said
and if I had let her cross be raised
I would’ve proven him right
Nothing ever is worth someone
being murdered
Nothing ever is worth someone
dying alone, abandoned, hopeless and afraid
And for that reason
unlike two millennia ago in Palestine
expiation was denied
to those who required it the most
but deserved it not
I made sure of that
by pulling the would-be Christ of Arcadia Bay
down from her cross
Even though two nails
had already been driven
her hands, feet, heart and brow
bear no holes
My supposed crime is digging out of her heart
a bullet fired by
the promising artist
Shouldn’t the fault lie with the one
who aimed the gun and pulled the trigger?
I never claimed to be a hero
and if saving a friend's life is a sin
then I’m the greatest sinner
(and unrepentant one at that)
Once you cut out all hope
from your own friend’s heart
and you nail their body to a cross
once you’re smiling over their coffin
bloody knife and hammer in your hands
once you selfishly reduce
the light of their life
to a memory locked away
in your brain
then you can judge me
But know that
I don’t care about the verdicts
of ghouls
Isn’t it written
that whoever saves a life
is considered to have saved
the whole world?
So by digging the bullet out of her heart
I saved her world
my world
our world
the world
She was the Price to be paid
for sparing Arcadia Bay
from its fate
I refused that bargain
because who in their right mind
would pay with the world
for a town?
All the fine people described at the begininng
casual in their cruelty
banal in their evil
learnt an important lesson
(and for some of them it was their last):
sometimes hatred and disdain sown
become a Storm reaped
So on an unsurprisingly cold and stormy day in October
the miracle turned out to be
how such a tiny town could've fit
so much cruelty
before it burst at the seams
and that the seeds of the Storm
sown by its dwellers every day
took that long to yield crop

request for poetry . . .
I particularly love ee cummings
"since feeling is first "might work for your fic?
******
since feeling is first who pays any attention  to the syntax of things will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool while Spring is in the world
my blood approves, and kisses are a better fate  than wisdom lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry —the best gesture of my brain is less than your eyelids’ flutter which says
we are for each other: then laugh, leaning back in my arms for life’s not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis
good god, this is perfect! thank you SO MUCH! Would you be comfortable being tagged in a thank you note when my next chapter goes up?

Bang
When we first met my insides howled with rage at the black brand around your shoulders
At the too-big coat that marked you as the enemy
When I attacked, you folded easily, like grass underfoot
Your body weaker then mine
But you were not afraid.
No. You smiled up at me.
For as pinned as you were beneath my boot, you had no fear of the monster I could become
Your soul as black and absent as it may seem, matched mine stide by stride
Bang
When my world crumbled around me
You were there
You pulled me from the brink as many times as was needed
Your touch washing away the anger and the fear that drove me to the edge of inhumanity
You were cruel in the way only children could be
But still you knew when to be gentle
For every near-broken step I made forward, you matched with one of your own
Bang
You left
Burning leather and heat warped metal, your only goodbye
Your steps had left my side
Bang
Our reunion was like a pair of birds promised to eachother meeting after a long winter season
Meaner, and sharper we were
But still, we knew eachother
And what seemed cruel to those outside our orbit, was a familiar and well practiced dance
Our steps once more in sync
Bang
You sit broken before me
I've found you in sterile, white halls, the trail of your blood proof of how you drug yourself there like a wounded animal
Like a old creature isolating itself to die
I am not the same
Some other force puppeting my actions
I think you are afraid, close to it
I am not the man you know
My hand raises, weapon in hand
Your voice holds and edge that never reaches me
My fingers squeeze
Bang
Bang
Bang

It. Is. Time. To start my next series. Welcome back! This time Vidow is on the chopping blocks and oh man is it gonna be good.... And long. Like excruciating levels of long. I promise we'll get through this together.
Good news for everyone this time I have the first three poems complete so I'll be posting those three once a week for the next couple of weeks. Huzzah! Let's start with some Vio this week.
Our Dreams are Reality...Or are they?
Chapter 1: Staring Out a Window
I miss you.
I see you in the shadows of my room,
I feel you in the cold breath of a winter’s morning.
I hear you in the chatter of happy friends.
I wish you weren’t gone,
Because I can no longer feel
Your hands on my shoulders.
Nor the taste of the drinks
We once shared together.
Staring out of a window
As the clouds roll on in
Wondering desperately
If you would have enjoyed it.
Seeing so many words
On a page of my favorite
Wondering desperately
If you would have laughed with me at it.
Tasting a new kind of dish
Filled with herbs and numerous spices
Wondering desperately
If you would have cried with me while eating it
Hearing a favorite melody
A song with so much percussion
Wondering desperately
Would you have played it with me?
Meeting old and new friends
Touch freely given among acquaintances
Wondering desperately
Would you have wanted to meet them as well?
...
And yet as much as I dream;
As much as I hope and I wish
With all my might to change that.
You never will.

River
A Lams inspired poem
To speak to you is to the understand the flow of a river
It does not overthink, it does not hesitate, it simply flows
Others may grow jealous but I will never cease to crave the wonders of wandering in the waters
Swept along by the currents
All else seems sickening slow compared to you
Even now
To write this
I long for the river

The Canticle of the Grand Machine
we are the seekers of our knowledge we are the bearers of the true pledge surrounded by the whistling steam cogs within the grand machine We follow thus our fascinations The Omnissiah’s machinations sound the canticle serene cogs within the grand machine
we are protectors of mankind we’re with the will of Mars aligned we’re no guardsman nor marine but cogs within the grand machine
We have build for the empire cities, hives, shrines and spires Watch our iron glint and sheen cogs within the grand machine
We explore the galaxy In name of Humanity Go to places never seen as cogs within the grand machine
The flesh it has been left behind The Omnissiah’s path was signed We are tireless and keen cogs within the grand machine
