"i am a demanding creature. i am selfish and cruel and extremely unreasonable. but i am your servant. when you starve i will feed you; when you are sick i will tend you. i crawl at your feet; for before your love, your kisses, i am debased. for you alone i will be weak."

— catherynne m. valente, deathless

Pond by Claire Louise-Bennett

#this reminds me of my friend Florence #why do my literary and academic interest all come back to love #it’s so kitch but these are the things I’m interested in: love and desire #this moment captured this well #but further accentuated my own cringe-ness in underlining this quote #pond #claire louise bennett #fitzcarraldo

#coatlythoughts #punishing him for archealogical malpractice preemptively #literary malpractice maybe? im sayin that his book can still be fiction #and me saying its all a dream is just as kooky as pokemons its all spacetime fucky wuckies #dream as in desires an wishes being manifested artificially by terastal energy #man wrote a book so good someone fell into the giant wishing well and made it real #twice. both with huge consequences

can someone explain to me why we hate jurgen leitner so much

#yeah yeah he fucked jon and gerry and countless other people up because of his hubris #lets talk about the parallels instead #how his thirst for knowledge and quest for control led to his downfall #do none of you see the symbolism #jurgen is if jon had gone unchecked #if jon had allowed the desire for knowledge and understanding to consume him #yeah jurgen hurt and sometimes killed people because of it #but so did jon #did jon not also fuck people up and traumatize them #how many more people could jon have hurt #without the influence of the people around him #its just #idk #its fun to bash on jurgen leitner #but no ody wants to talk about the literary themes 😔#tma #the magnus archives #jurgen leitner #jonathan sims

“i wanted her bones, her blood, her tissues, the sinews that bound her together. i would have held her to me though time had stripped away the tones and textures of her skin. i could have held her for a thousand years until the skeleton itself rubbed away to dust. what are you that makes me feel thus? who are you for whom time has no meaning?

in the heat of her hands i thought, this is the campfire that mocks the sun. this place will warm me, feed me and care for me. i will hold on to this pulse against other rhythms. the world will come and go in the tide of a day but here is her hand with my future in its palm.”

— jeanette winterson, written on the body

look i am non binary but some words just slap so hard and have no good option to replace them with. I’ll be writing something folklorey and old-fashioned and does any word FEEL as good as ‘maiden’

#nat.txt #anyway that’s why i write fem reader sometimes. based entirely on my desire to write weird literary not quite smut

i am very weak for a specific kind of din-centric romance that i’ve yet to see anywhere (probably because it would be tedious to write). i want din to have an Arthurian romance where his Creed and his besk’ad are not obstacles for his partner to vault over into his arms, but part of him, more of him to love. i want din to have a romance where they will love him whether or not they ever get to see his face, or touch his skin, because when din said the helmet is my true face he meant it, and when his paramour said they loved all of him, they meant that, too. the Creed is his blood and the besk’ad his skin and his heart the steady tattoo blasterfire and his soul is the manda and to love a true mandalorian is to love them because of the old ways, not in spite of them. din may walk the galaxy’s gray meridian but his faith in the Creed is absolute. to love him you have to love him for that faith, too.

#this is my joker. i am going to wind up writing some absolute longfic for this man because I DON’T WANT HIM TO IMMEDIATELY DROP THE ARMOR!#romance and desire are built on longing and denial and someone wanting him #initially wanting what’s under the beskar until they realize he is the beskar too; that the reason he’s so emotive through the armor is #because he wears it like skin; maybe some pseudo magical bullshit about inhabiting beskar long enough infuses it with your soul yadda yadda #idk what i’m saying here but. for a series where hope plays a huge role i just think it’s a shame that din’s hope/faith are bypassed so #quickly in fic sometiems when that’s where so much of his character and love potential lies!#imagine the ways of showing love and care for the LI!#shining his armor! adjusting it for him when he’s hurt? finding ways to care for wounds without bypassing armor?#the chivalry and trust of turning your back on a deadly warrior so he can take care of himself?#THE CHASTITY? ITS SOOOO ARTHURIAN ITS SOOOO LITERARY ROMANCE #i’m frothing at the mouth. watch me write the gayest most romantic longfic that is about faith and desire and longing and lust and doubt #that no one but i will read because i’m crazy about this shit #idk what i’m saying. but. religion. interesting. faith. sexy. doubt. delicious.#din djarin #the Mandalorian #walkie talkie.#fic tag.
