#not just because of his love poem

[daisybeewrites]

just finished S5E8 of the Dragon Prince…

i am not okay

#literally sobbing at the ending #at how he did the thing because he needed to get to rayla and save her (and bait) #at how he did the thing and i think he understood the arcanum partly because of the thing #not only because of that pirate bastard #not just because of his love poem #but because he knows that he would do anything for rayla and ez and his friends #and that’s something you can’t fight #you can’t control your love for people #and there are some things that you will just never know why they happen or what the reason is #but you trust that they do #and thats enough #JESUS CHRIST THIS SHOW #the dragon prince #tdp #tdp s5 #callum #rayla #rayllum #ezran

Ancient Roman Poets on a Modern Date

Catullus (Gaius Valerius Catullus)

If you meet him before Lesbia, he will be charming, eloquent, and happy to go wherever you like, although his funds could be limited. Even so, he'll make sure you both enjoy yourselves. Theater or concert tickets in the plebian--nosebleed--section, for instance. If you meet him after Lesbia, there is a possibility he will spend the entire time trauma-dumping about his ex. If you also have one to complain about, this could be cathartic.

Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro)

He takes you out to his beehive dressed in full bee-keeping gear to introduce you to his bees and then goes inside, where you sample different varieties of honey drizzled over fruit. He is sweet, but does talk about fields and bees a lot.

Ovid (Gaius Valerius Catullus)

Let's be honest. This might be more of a Tinder or Grindr hookup than a date. However, it's possible you met at a theater, race track, parade, or seaside resort. If you are aro/ace, run away. If you aren't and you are interested in seeing if he truly is proficient as a teacher of love, stick around. Don't expect him to be faithful, however. And although his manners are perfect, remember that it's an art and a game to him, so guard your heart.

Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus)

He'll take you out for a night of expensive dining and pay for it solely because the friend of a friend that owns the place owes him. He is charming company and can get you into any exclusive club or private experience you want to go to, but will expect reciprocated favors. Also, he turns on the charm, but absolutely expects to be complimented in return.

Sulpicia

She plays hard to get initially, not wanting to be too obvious with her affection. The first date will be YOUR choice. Pick well and she'll follow that with a candlelit dinner and eternal devotion. She does have expensive taste, however, and she would absolutely report you to her scary uncle if you break her heart.

Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialis)

He takes you on a picnic. Despite this being in the country, he'll opt for fine wine and gourmet food. He's easy to talk to, funny, and catty with his gossip. However, he'll also go on about his childhood in the country and how he went hunting and fishing and how he misses the simple country life. (All while sipping from an expensive goblet.)

Livy (Titus Livius)

He takes you to a museum and acts as your tour guide throughout the entire thing. Who knew that your date would double as a living and breathing audio tour? You're supposed to eat at the museum cafe, but you may not make it there before it closes... If you're a fan of history, you're in for a treat.

Iullus Antonius

Iullus is a huge romantic and just as charming as his famous father. He will show up with flowers and take you on a date in a small, undiscovered restaurant and to a lot of cute places that are off the beaten path. Whether you hit it off romantically or not, he's the kind of guy who could be your ride or die. (Spoiler alert, when he says he's your ride or die, he's extremely serious. 💀)

Albius Tibullus

When he falls, he falls hard. He takes you on a date in an orchard. This includes picking grapes and then tasting wines. If the date is before he was entranced with one of the lovers he wrote about, all is well. If not, he might get a little teary eyed about his past love(s). He is polite, sweet, attentive, and apologetic though.

Juvenal (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

He takes you to an expensive restaurant and makes it clear he is only paying for HIS meal. The entire time he criticizes everyone else in the restaurant for being posers and judges them based upon appearance, status, and gender. His date is not a safe place for anyone who doesn't fit his definition of traditional values. Definitely talks about kids these days and the degradation of society.

#inspired orginally by @just-late-roman-republic-things #ancient rome #ancient roman memes #classics memes #ancient roman poets #okay yes I added Iullus because I feel bad for him and Julia and I wish some of his poetry had survived #and yes some scholars believe sulpicia isn't actually a real historical figure or did not write the poems but I wanted representation #and personally Iullus or Virgil for first choices #tho I love catullus and would also pick him #national poetry month

#me when everybody is posting the maple leafs sad narratives and i am furiously generating this like HOLD ONNNN HOLD ONNNNNNN #honestly i could've been SOOOO MEAN about this because i saw this poem & alexandra got the preview on the poetry blog #where i just reblogged the first half of this poem point blank with the tags #kyle dubas #toronto maple leafs #& got yelled at aksdaksf & it literally only didn't go on this blog bc i usually write more & then it was percolating & i looked up the poe #& it was only the FIRST PART i'd reblogged i didn't know there was more & then brain immediately went brrrrr ok time for an edit. #this is a long one lol & i also have no idea if it makes sense to anybody but me but because y'all know me i will always overexplain so!! #my reasoning for the reasons obvi kyle. that's a given i hope he's doing well i hope he & his family r good but man is not coming in to wor #the second edit took me a stupid amount of time bc i am nitpicky but also i learned how to do the layers & transparency from the claude edi #that actually y'all don't know about lmao but i lost my mind when i saw how perfectly those pictures align i was scrolling getty & was like #ok december i'm gonna do a headline one (in my brain with the november/june quote about choosing to die again) w/ maple leafs playoff odds #how they say at winter break you know who's gonna be in the playoffs & who'll win & they thought they had a shot but it's mitchie overlaid #the 2003-04 team who'd last won a playoff round with the atlantic division stats from dec for 22-23 & how long it's been & dec headlines #i wanted breakup/recent/never loved to be a recent trade acquisition somebody who bounced around & somebody else so i almost had simmer #brodie & zar but then i wanted to make murray for breakup at any time &i forgot zar & him were on the pens together &it hit me like a truc #bc there's a photo of the two of them EXACTLY the same so close it's scary of this one but them as pens so they had to be it & i did always #know never loved again was mitchie. sorry. also mitchie in the penalty box the last game but i couldn't find footage of it & this one works #no i could not find a photo of tyler bertuzzi fighting a leaf for a dog looked at me yes i tried. #i almost made the bunting photo jt but instead it's 'bunting a rat etc' anyway the one i really feel unhinged about is dead pets bc at firs #i was gonna make it the handshake line & look to see if the leafs had drafted anybody on the panthers (dead pet former draft pick) #& they had & it was carter verhaeghe & i couldn't get a good pic of matthews & verhaeghe but it's fine bc i thought about the mo/luke schen #narrative (in which they are a perfect d pair long lost) & schenn was drafted by the leafs & that line fits jut trust me. also how i feel #about the kniesy luminous line that one possessed me it had to be kniesy idk why. i almost put gussy as girls are too pretty though ALSO #did u like my joke. daylight SAVINGS time on the goalie. thank u. also my photo magic on the jt (me very poorly editing in him as an isle) #OK ALSO HOLD ONNNNN there is a part two but i have to wait for the Content i want it will come out as soon as [redacted] or sooner #if i get bad at waiting &everyone will pretend like it is always the way it will be once i have the photos i want. speaking of did the leaf #simply not take a team photo this year?? it Does Not Exist for me i have tried very hard to look for it also i'm excited for part 2 #one of them is named oh you're so unhinged for this one & the finished product is you're unhinged in ways you didn't even know u were sorry #liv in the replies

procrastination is starting to have its consequences finally

#on my friends living room floor they love together but one of them has been london for weeks or maybe months #to be with her love. im on a foam mattress from one of their beds next to a glass bottle of water opened by one of them #in a mug given to me by another. the weather felt like my childhood today and it also felt like 2 years ago. #(put space in the heavens Einstein's idea and hes your friend too so nothing to fear) around the table they drank and laughed and i thought #i hope you keep growing so full with the love you receive . i hope your appetite becomes insatiable from how used to it you are #and i know youre all leaving soon but i hope one day you miss this and that youll be happy you miss it #its worth missing i think #i thought he didnt care but he said after exams hes going walk around this area over and over #(this is near where he lived and where we visited almost daily for a year) #(hed come across the bridge on a lake) #we went where she used to live and at the entrance a fox sat calmly. it just yawned and stared. #it felt important somehow. i think maybe their impressions of me will never be close to how i feel inside but i think #i love them enough for that not to matter. i dont think theyll ever know this. i dont think if they did it would change much. #and seeing them smile makes my heart glow anyway. today i tried their malaysian tea the ginger burned my throat #they warmed my heart. hes going to canada soon and hes going to the US soon and shes going everywhere soon ill never understand #how were supposed to live with memories and with seperation and with the past but we do it anyway so i think it doesnt matter much #i wanted to write a poem for the lab rats with the fibre optic wires lit with blue forcing them to turn around and around #something about how im sorry that the two photon arrays burned the inside of your brain. im sorry about the sharp points of multielectrode #arrayes. im sorry about everything we do to you. she asked to see me tomorrow. im trying to have self control but i miss her so awfully #last night my friend talked to me and i updated on everything that happened with love and the lack of it and she just started laughing #and she told me about the same thing from her side. and she told me about how she loved london because she would walk the streets #and she felt like the people were her. and her eyes would go over the people and the bag of bagels and the construction men they probably #have a kid at home maybe shes a daughter. this kid is crying for her mother and the building you just walked past caused #blisters and pain and people died in it and very likely people were born in it. we talked for hours and i felt like #i was holding her hand just like that time she held mine watching a horror film. i love her so much #my friend is a genius and i remember her picking up the charms of my phone and staring at the leaf hanging from them. shes side stepping to #music drinking dangerous cider and cocktails from a movie and chit chatting with billionaires and undergrads #i love her dearly. his head covered in electrodes. she tells me about a syrian guy shes in love with and she says #what you feel and what i feel is like cocaine. ive tried a lot of fucking cocaine. #she says ive reminded her of what living actually feels like and to never put energy into someone who doesnt see me this way.

I like when Monk talks about Trudy. He is truly in love with this woman and his expressions of love are for the small details he noticed about her all throughout their time together.

#the poem tree was sweet #playing pusic for her at her grave with his clarinet #and that one time he did it with Willie Nelson because she loved his music #so he loved it too #milehigh #mile high #monk usa #monk #tony shalhoub #adrian monk #sharona fleming #BREAD AND BUTTER #the poems that Trudy wrote in high school were about Monk and he reads them every night #its just the little things #the tiny details he loved about her #willow watches Monk

Has anyone ever considered Musa & Helia being a thing? I mean just THINK about it! They're both the artsy ones in their group: Helia with drawing and poetry and Musa with her music. They would complement each other so well characterwise too. Musa could turn Helia's poems into songs and they could write songs together. Musa's music could inspire Helia to draw and vice versa Musa could imagine stories from the pictures Helia drew and combine the feelings and emotions in songs too. There is so much going on with them. Helia is the introvert and Musa is definitely the extrovert who would make Helia get out of his shy comfort zone and Helia would calm Musa's temper. I have so many headcanons for them!

#I just love opposites who attract each other #the funniest thing is that in the beginning of season 2 one could think that Flora and Riven become a couple #there are quite some moments with them #and then we could have had musa ending up with helia just because you know OPPOSITES #and I just love the thought of them writing songs together and her singing his poems with her angelic voice #i feel robbed! #winx club #winx #winx musa #winx helia #musa x helia #helia x musa #musa and helia #helia and musa #winx ships #rare ships #my*hcs

this is such an accurate description of Brady's feelings for Mikayla I wanna cry

#pair of kings #brady parker #mikayla makoola #brady x mikayla #brakayla #his poem is literally about this #he loves her too much to give up this feelings #he has to hide his love behind goofy exterior and cheesy flirting #because he is so afraid she will reject him he just can't think straight #it's complicated for both of them #but i believe that eventually they will deal with this and be together #they are made for each other #they are twin souls like kayce and monica from yellowstone #i will go down with this ship

August: Day 25

Adventures

Spent way too long at the library

Checked out a book that was so old and hadn't been checked out for so long that it was no longer in the library's computer system

Enjoyed an hour of silence at home resting in the peace of the wind outside and the sunlight and shadows of trees flickering on the floor

Read poetry under a tree in the sunset

Writing

Read part of Ruta Sepetys' book on writing

Wrestled with the desire to write a personal, meaningful novel while having no idea what project could fill that need

#adventures in writing #the old book was a lovely old volume of james whitcomb riley's poetry #i loved 'when the frost is on the punkin' in middle school and paging through the book i thought it was perfect for august #i have no idea when the library obtained it #but the copyright page said nothing but 'copyright 1892 by james w riley' #the self-checkout didn't recognize it #and the librarian explained that books will fall out of the system if they're un-checked-out for long enough #which filled me with a secret delight #i was rescuing the poor lonely unloved old book #giving a senior citizen a new chance at life #reading it in the sunset makes me wonder if i could ask the library to sell it to me #they clearly don't need it #and it's such a lovely volume #there's something about reading such an old edition of the book that puts the poems in their proper environment #you can feel the world he was writing about because you're holding a piece of it in your hands #and i just like his poetry #it's sensible poetry if there can be such a thing #not making grand metaphors about nature and the deeper human condition #but just 'there was sunlight on the crick. and a tree. and some butterflies. it was nice.' #plus the country perspective and working-class characters #it's down to earth and homespun and simple and grounded and in love with all the common things of life #and so much of the landscape is so familiar so there's the extra sense of connection #sure some of it gets a bit trite but it's so unpretentious that you can't mind the occasional misstep #and occasionally there's one where the impeccable sense of rhythm he showed in the first poem i loved sneaks up on me and sweeps me away #anyway it was nice it was a good day god is good

what i said:

good morning, beautiful. did you know that vultures lay their eggs at the edges of cliffs?

what i meant:

every year i fight the urge to reinvent myself, to shed my skin and take a new name. i’ve got a manic flight hidden in my bones somewhere, down to the marrow. i’m scared of needles. i wanna get better but i don’t know how. i’m glad i didn’t know that the last time i saw you was the last time; it was better that i didn’t spend it dreading your absence the way i spent two hours trying to figure out why vultures lay their eggs at the edges of cliffs. 

what i said: 

some things just don’t have an answer, beautiful. vultures were associated with catharsis long before they ever were with death.

what i meant:

some things just don’t have an answer. i never believed in love at first sight until i saw you. the birds are singing and it makes me smile and it makes me sick. 

what i said: 

i’m falling for you, beautiful. did you know that a group of larks is called an exaltation?

what i meant:

i only loved you long enough to set my soul in flight and watch you become my ceiling. i didn’t want what we had to be short but meaningful. i just wanted it to be meaningful.

what i said:

i’ll miss you, beautiful. did you know mourning doves are related to carrier pigeons? did you know they used to send them overseas to sing funeral songs?

what i meant:

maybe there’s another world where i wake you up every day with bird facts but i don’t think it’s this one. 

what i said:

goodbye, beautiful. did you know that nightingales die faster the more they sing?

what i meant:

i would’ve sang myself to death, for you.

#poetry #poem #spilled ink #spilled poem #poets on tumblr #bird poem #nightingale #guys i got a call at work today where some guy got stuck in a fucking vending machine #and i was like bro #how surreal is it that i get calls where some fool is fighting for his goddamn life because he had to have his doccy pepper #i am just some guy in a cubicle eating a sandwich #anyways pls enjoy the poem i worked hard on it #sorry i never post work is a circus and i'm the one wearing the clown shoes #god i love my job #the tags are also a poem it's a concept poem okay

waterborne poetry you will always be famous

#rewatching it again god bless this event for giving cy > 20 lines of dialogue and x.iao interaction #yang mode cy uewueuweu cutie.. #ramblings! #also i learned that the 'heart of clear water face of ice' thing in cy's stories is actually better read as heart of clear ice face of fros #which i guess has the same meaning but it takes out the water/ice thing which i guess i appreciate #for petty reasons ^_^ no more water ice connection. trust #this event was so funny im sorry i love bullying xq affectionately and babying cy #i also never mentioned how much i fucking laughed out loud at xingqiu's convo w noelle and mika #because dear god help me. he's so authorpilled + i guess he just likes flexing his very prose like dialogue register in front of foreigners #and also peak rich kid vibes of 'idk how to cook i just steal snacks from home when im outside for a long period of time' #also noelle saying 'if you sneak out from home won't you be punished?' (she specifically said wont you be put in solitary confinement? #which specifically i think is funnier because. KLEE HANDSHAKING XINGQIU LMAO #anyways. his response is also so fucking help. 'just dont get caught!' bro pulling an ehe (said like ven.ti) #also hu.tao. i love you my daughter i love your stupid rhyming sentences and little limerick poems literally a sunshine #also zv cohost theyre so sick for this

since i started testosterone in february i have been reading a stanza of andrew marvell’s poem ‘the garden’ every month to track the way my voice has changed. today i finished it :-)

#my voice #does it belong in that tag given that i am speaking and not singing. ah well in it goes #andrew marvell #it is exciting to finally be able to post this! given the nature of the project i've been working on it for a while #i can't remember if i was initially intending to post it but i think it's neat so you guys can see it too :-) a questionable gift unto ye #it's one of my favourite ever poems which is why i picked it. partly because it's a cracking poem but also because the garden in #question is very likely fairfax's garden given that marvell wrote it whilst he was living at his house to tutor his daughter :-) #i love the line about melons. i love the idea that fairfax was growing melons. his melonship #also 'the luscious clusters of the vine upon my mouth do crush their wine' is such incredible imagery i think about it all the time #stopping myself now before i start explaining all my favourite parts of the poem because then i would just be reciting the whole poem #sorry the audio quality changes quite a bit by the way i kept changing where i recorded #oh also i skipped a month because my voice hadn't changed at all (between the first and second stanzas i think) which is why the #number of months doesn't quite match up to the number of stanzas #i do wish i had recorded a stanza when i was one month on T given that my voice barely changes in the last few verses. ah well #anyway i hope you enjoy it my dear friends :-) holding you all in my arms #also as usual i have a few messages and things to answer so i will do that soon! i have been enjoying being active again after so long :-) #ive got a song to post soon too. he he ho ho ho. hum hum hum

🖤 barber!mickey & (not so) shaggy!ian 🖤

here's the 43rd installment for this week's @galladrabbles prompt: the below poem by jewel by @sweetbee78

“I am not from here, my hair smells of the wind and is full of constellations and I move about this world with a healthy disbelief and approach my days and my work with vaporous consequence a touch that is translucent but can violate stone.”

catch up/read in full HERE -- updates weekly! [ read scenes one & two in their entirety ON AO3 ]

Much to Mickey’s chagrin, it’s Ian who breaks their embrace. His emerald eyes are wide and full of something he can’t quite put a tattooed finger on, but that boils his blood.

They share a set of secret smiles, despite the previous, and incredibly public, displays of their affections.

Mickey scans the man in front of him—this familiar stranger—his eyes flicking from his cherry-red lips to the button of his nose, and up to that flaming red hair, which smells of the wind, and is full of constellations. 

The cosmos made tangible, and apparently his to touch?
