the surge of 'i like purple prose actually!' that i've seen in the past few years is so. disheartening, maybe. i feel the instinct to say 'no you don't! you just don't know what purple prose is! not everything that's pretty is purple prose!' but i know the truth of it is that people really just do like pretty words with nothing behind them. and that's what they think that they want. the curtains are just blue and the prose is purple. there's no deeper meaning and people like it that way. media built to be consumed but not chewed... songs made to get popular on tiktok that are 2 minutes long with a repetitive chorus... it's empty calories. 'i like purple prose!' i'm begging you to read some poetry or even just a better book. i promise it won't kill you to read and think about something that means something

Poets of today are good for writing smth raw and easy to see, but there’s just smth about those older poets who would bury every meaning beneath mountains of words no longer used and still have you come out feeling almost accomplished bc you’ve only discovered what you THINK they might have meant to say

Tumblr media
clouds shuffle across the sky, obscuring and revealing the moon in an unending cycle. a crow flying above you caws, and you stop walking. a few seconds later the bird breaks through the canopy of trees and lands on your outstretched arm.
you scratch under its chin, and it leans into your touch.
"find anything edgar?"
the bird pauses, and you soon get a flow of information, almost like you're watching a movie. you see a sleek, black cat running through the trees, a large dog close behind. edgar had followed, as soon as the cat scrambles up into a tree the vision ends.
"well, we can't just leave it. lead the way."
edgar caws again, lifting into the air and flying close enough for you to follow him easily. it's not long before you hear barking, and the sound of the dog's nails on tree bark.
edgar caws at the dog, who doesn't seem to care that much. however, when you step closer, it seems to change its mind, taking off through the trees.
edgar lands on the branch the cat is perched on, nudging its side with the top of his head. the cat swats at him, but its claws are still sheathed so you're not worried about him getting hurt.
"hi lovely, wanna come down?" the cat trills, and you consider the best way to get it back out of the tree.
before you can figure out what to do, someone bursts through the trees. the cat trills again, and you figure that must be the owner.
"salem why are you in a tree, again?"
edgar caws at the stranger, who looks startled by his presence.
"got chased by a dog," you offer, and the stranger whips around to look at you.
guess they didn't notice me either.
"edgar dragged me over," upon hearing his name the large bird flies the short distance to land on your shoulder, tilting his head at the cat's person.
they nod, and you think you see a smile, "thank you."
you give a soft smile, "'course. i couldn't just not do anything."
the person redirects his attention to the cat, holding out his arms for it to jump into, holding it close to his chest when it does.
"so, why're you in the forest at," you glance at your phone, "2:30 in the morning?"
"i could ask you the same."
"i asked first."
they scoff slightly, but don't argue further, "needed to get some stuff set up for the full moon. you?"
"ah, same. i mostly need to make sure i get moon water this month."
you make eye contact for a second, neither saying anything. a silent understanding passes between the two of you, and you laugh slightly.
"who would've thought?"
they smile, seeming to have the same idea, "what're the odds."
"so, since i no longer have to worry about being burnt at the stake, i'm y/n. and you are?"
"i'm minho, this is salem," he indicates the cat in his arms, who meows in response.
"this is edgar, allen and poe aren't out right now."
minho nods, "so, walk with me?"
you grin, already liking his personality, "of course, lead the way."

gonna tell u guys all the books i saw today in the bookstore that i was not supposed to go into bc im not allowed to buy any more books until i finish reading 3 unread books and my thoughts/how i felt
maximum ride. (the manga) girl. babes. boys. pals. my friends. i have not seen these books since like. yr9. i fucking loved the series and i remember when i finished reading all the ones we had in the library and it was like. an inconclusive end because we didnt have all of them???? a gals heart BROKE okay
complete collection of grimms fairytales. or smth like that. i forgot the title. but i have the edgar allen poe one from the same collection and ANYWAYS. i really wanna get the grimms fairytales one. like. i can use them as references and inspo for stories, and i can also just read all these stories that are beyond your usual ones. but also, collection.
ten count. why. but hey, it was sealed.
given. :(((( they had all 6 volumes in stock i was <3 i mean i already have them but i was still <3 so happy
cocaine blues. i was ECSTATIC to see this. it's part of the phryne fisher series (ie. the books on which miss fisher's murder mysteries, one of my favourite shows currently, is based on). i've never seen the books before. i really wanna collect them now.
the atlas six. whenever i see this book i have a crisis bc i love the cover but i dont remember if it was on my list of books i wanted and then i forget that i can actually access that list on my phone HAHA hm. and i read the blurb again but then i still dont remember what it was that made me potentially want the book. did i read a snippet somewhere? a better synopsis, perhaps?
heartstopper. it's started. netflix covers have started. i want to collect the physical books, but i'm too aware they're available online as well vdsjdjks like. i could really save myself// what, $80-100??? but lordy the joy of owning books.
haikyuu. i picked up the last volume and i really opened it up to 'final chapter' and i got really sad again. so i shelved it.
naruto. smth about.. having a few volumes of my childhood... good. but also, i !! found all the gaidens!!! maybe i'll just choose to invest in those, and not the actual manga. thats a lot of commitment, the manga.
okay yeah i spent a lot of time in the manga section lol and there were a lot more bc i was smiling like an idiot but i wanna eat now so byebye

album rec!
hero x villain writers (and readers), have I got some music for you! 
Counterfeit Arcade by Shayfer James is what I’ve been obsessed with recently- it’s absolutely perfect for writing heroes and villains. It’s indie rock, the songs are mostly fast paced (with three exceptions), and the music is oddly addictive. I’ve been listening to it on repeat for like four days now and I’m not stopping anytime soon.
 it has 11 songs, and it’s only 36 minutes. great way to spend just over half an hour!
reviews for each below the cut!
weight of the world: This makes me wanna dance, and the lyrics feel like a tired, cynical antihero type convincing the hero that nothing matters but like… with style. “That’s just the weight of the world, the weak and the weary will never survive… that’s just the weight of the world, and we’ll all be the weak and the weary sometime.”  
for the departed: Again, this is super catchy and really fun to listen to. I don’t know how to explain it except that it’s a criminal realizing they’re about to get caught- it references Edgar Allen Poe’s story about the heart beating beneath the ground, and it’s someone saying goodbye to their lover. 
where we belong: I know I sound like a broken record, but this is catchy as hell. Seriously, listening through this I was just astounded by the fact that every song drew me in and I wanted to keep listening (I find it super hard to listen to new things, I have to add songs I know in between new songs just to keep my attention on them). Some fun lyrics: “I know we're far beyond the point of no return, Let's say we light a fire and be the first to burn”. I told y’all this album is built for hero and villain writers.
L.V.S. (your lady waits): This is the first slow song in the album. It was written after the death of James’ father (LVS are his dad’s initials, the lady waiting is probably his mom), and it addresses an absent, admired loved one. This is probably one of my favorites. It’s mournful and peaceful and hopeful and just. Really amazing. 
villainous thing: Moving on from the sad one, we have this! And y’all. Y’all. This is the song that I heard first on another playlist, and lemme tell you, this isn’t my favorite but it might be yours. It’s a villain seducing their significant other in villainy bc they’re “a villainous thing, and we can’t have you living a lie”. !!!!!   
battle cry: The chorus on this one makes me wanna be evil- you just gotta listen to it. It has one of the best villain lines ever: “You'll sacrifice the truth to justify your sins/but I don't need an excuse to let the darkness in”.
peace: Okay, this is my least favorite by far. But! I’m sure it’s an acquired taste, and as I keep listening to the full album I’m sure I’ll like it more. It’s very slow, the melody is kind of odd (and it’s supposed to be odd!) and discordant. Next to the others, it’s just slower. The main thing is just “I will never deserve peace”, which fits with the discord. Listening to the full album, it makes sense… but I wouldn’t listen to it for fun. 
diggin’ up hatchets:  Feels like people dancing on the corpse of a post-apocalyptic dystopian world. Super catchy, super fun to dance to.
under the willow: I forgot that this one was also slow, but it’s not as slow as peace or LVS. It’s good! It’s not my favorite and it’s not as catchy as the other, but the lyrics are great and it’s really fun to get into character singing (that feel when you pretend you’re in a music video or smth while singing to songs).
godspeed:  The genius.com blurb for this song says that it’s about two friends who betrayed each other a while ago and are seeing each other again, and I can get behind that. “You’ve got some nerve to be coming around with that smile on your face and your feet on the ground, I used to be someone that you could believe but it’s been a while, been a while”.
have a seat misery:  Not as unhinged as some of the other songs, this one still feels like a villain planning something awful. It’s unnervingly calm.

Uh hi i'm mika i really hope i do this correctly i-
wait this is for the matchups if they're still open please
i'm bisexual (i have a preference for girls). My birthday is December 6. Some of my hobbies include cooking (however do not try and let me bake for the love of humanity), drawing, writing, playing my ukelele, and various types of sports too (I really love soccer and volleyball!!) I like well drawing (sometimes sitting and drawing or writing is just really therapeutic and helps me calm down when things get hard, sports helps me to release any emotion i've kept bottled up too. I have a special interest in geography too and i could talk for hours about it (probably against people's wills) I also like animals like bunnies and dogs and cats they just make me happy. Oh also I really like anime, cartoons, and webtoon. I really really despise maths and science, I cannot do it at all and to be quite honest it's extremely boring. I also don't really like the dark either it's quite scary- Either humans or demons are fine for me I love them all!!
Questions
Do you like PDA? I think it's okay but i will probably get extremely flustered or embarassed-
What would be your breathing style? Probably smth like breath of tectonics or breath of storms (a reference to my random love of geography)
What's your love language? Probably a little bit of just everything to be honest-? Acts of service, physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time- I just want to make my s/o's happy to be honest with you
Do you prefer indoors or outdoors? Well it depends sometimes I get anxious and being outside is just no- but sometimes I like it
What's your favourite flower? Sunflowers and roses
Top kins: Giyuu, Dabi, Diluc, Ymir, Mikasa, Edgar Allen Poe,
What's your ideal date? I'm very indecisive and can't make my own choices so i'd probably just do whatever my s/o wanted-
hello — i hope u like ur matchup ! this one is probably my favorite c:
Tumblr media
Match Up For @giyuusfuzzysocks
You got ..
Tumblr media
KANAO TSUYURI
— god i love her sm
Songs Based Off Relationship :
Luxury — Azealia Banks
Attracted to you — PinkPantheress
feel u — okayceci
How You Met :
Kanao actually thought you were someone else from behind , when she found out you were someone else .. she apologized once and then went the other way , although she did flip her coin for something . She came back to you and asked if you knew Zenitsu , who she was looking for . Much to your luck , you knew the guy and told the girl where he was headed . She thanked you and you swear to the gods you saw an Angel .. she was so pretty ! You wanted to get to know her more , so a few days later you asked Zenitsu who she was . Turns out you live close near by .. you were a bit shy at first but you went anyways .. Shinobu saw how you liked her and started to tease you — although in the end , she liked you to and Shinobu actually planned most dates >:) 
Relationship Head-canons :
Kanao would be a bit difficult to have a relationship with , since it’s hard for her to decide on her own .. she asks you what you like . You like PDA ? Okay , that’s fine .. I’ll hold your hand and give you kisses . Although she would have a lot of blush c;
I feel like Kanao’s love language would be Quality time and physical affection ! So most of the time most people see you and Kanao always together .. she likes to follow you around <33 I also feel like Kanao loves hugs .. and words of affirmation !
Kanao prefers outdoors but will stay inside with you if you want ! Although she would maybe once or twice drag you outside to get a little bit of sun and vitamin D >:D when outdoors she likes to take you to see the butterflies and flowers ! 
Dates with Kanao are often planned by Shinobu .. since both can’t really decide shinobu likes to step in ( yay ) Shinobu plans simple dates .. you both really enjoy them ! Kanao’s favorite was when you both went to a festival <3 .. soon Kanao got the hang of planning dates but will ask for your approval before planning !
The way I see Kanao , shes willing to try all your interest ! You like sports ? Okay I’ll play . She’s really good at soccer .. you like cooking ? For the love of god don’t let her cook — ( i hc that Kanao cant cook ) writing ? I don’t think she’ll write but Kanao’s happy to read it ! You love geography ? Okay ! Kanao will listen to you for hours just talking about geography while hugging you >:)  
( i like pink so PINK — )

🛁 🏰 🚏 :D
🛁: what do i do to treat myself?f o o d. if it’s the afternoon, i buy myself a latte. (the only time i feel like i HAVE to have coffee is the morning.) or a bowl o ramen from my fave ramen place. or i find some junk food and claim it’s lunch or dinner. like i don’t eat w a focus on health, but i also don’t just eat garbage, it’s actually rare for me to chow down on potato chips these days. but sometimes man i just want some empty calories. yeah, it’s usually food
🏰: if i owned a castle, what would it look like?smth gothic and overblown probably, w some picturesque decrepitude and ivy on the exterior. inside, mismatched antiques and lots and lots o books. probably a cat roaming the halls. basically the interior o hill house but not cursed. and a tower! gotta have a tower. possibly several towers. also an oubliette. so basically a gothic horror movie setting tbh lmao. edgar allen poe would write cheesy goth poetry abt it.
🚏: how good am i w directions? do i get lost easily?uh. hm. well. mmmm. i’m not as bad as my dad, who consistently took the same wrong turn in westminster every time we drove to catoctin state park, but i took a wrong turn out in crawfordsville once and got hella lost trying to get back to the highway. on a second trip tho im not bad, like i’ve never taken that wrong turn in crawfordsville twice. i navigate by landmarks, don’t tell me to go 3 miles and turn left then go 5 miles and turn right, i can’t judge distance for shit; tell me to go until i see the abandoned gas station, turn left at the big dead tree, drive until i see the giant muffler man painted like a desert storm soldier. the only way i can navigate by mileage is w a gps, but even then i can’t judge distance and turn when it shows me the turn
