This book, in feelings, has crashed into me. That's the kind of emotional mess I feel. Also want to go ahead and recommend for any readers to please look at the content warnings for this book.

Parents that seem oppressively in control of themselves and their own separate lives, and in a sense, this includes Ariel. Ariel already feels too large to fit in and wonders at questions of gender and many things. But Ariel's real struggles are their own thoughts. Thoughts that seem to swish and slide around like a huge destructive, blood-craving crocodile. What Ariel can't figure out alone is that it's not them... it's a type of OCD.

This author is a brilliant poet, and I am once again amazed. This one was particularly emotional, I think, because it was a bit longer and had me on edge longer. It was a very intense but important read.

Out March 12, 2023!

Pseudomonas Fluorescens

Thinking about you

Rots my fucking stomach

I cry, and panic

And vomit.

The maggots left from your words,

They writhe under our skin, in mention of you.

You’re a once-in-a-lifetime piece of shit.

You filled me with fucking lies

Not butterflies, no.

You make me feel anxious, now.

It’s like you had me by the throat

I’m letting go.

I hope you fucking drown, with the memories of you.

I hope nobody shows up at your wake.

Cause’ you filled me with maggots until I decomposed.

Please, just die.

Die with the naivety of the girl you tried to kill.

Overdose..

On your,

“

.... Gunshot

......mURder

.....demIse

.......Lethality

.....execuTion

“

I hope it hurts you to know

Your darkest secret is being read.

I hope it makes you decompose.

"Unstoppable" by Donna Ashworth

#the promised neverland #tpn manga #tpn emma #tpn ray #rayemma #emma #ray #my edits #happy november 13th aka the day the kiddos crossed over to the human world and our fearless protagonist achieved her goal. #im so proud of her..& i didnt mean for this to turn into something so RE relatable but it just fits ya know? ray's been by her side the #entire journey so of course he would witness all her ups & downs. i dunno if he would indulge in poetry however but with all the #books in the GF & bunker library im sure he's at least come across his far share of poems over the years. so yeah. i sorta imagined him #writing all this down and sketching out his memories alongside it all. hopefully the panels convey that kind of look. who knows.

Rory liked Dean but she didn’t love him. She liked going on dates with him. She liked that he’d spend time with her and watch movies with her and get along with her mother. But there was no fire, no matter how much she wanted there to be one. She couldn’t burn like she did for exploring the world and the written word. She couldn’t burn for him.

Rory loved Logan but she didn’t like him. She loved his freedom, his adventurous spirit, his lust for life. She loved how she could let herself go with him, put faith in something dangerous and not shatter. But she didn’t like how cruel he could be to others. She didn’t like how dismissive he was, of responsibilities, of consequences, of people’s hurt. She didn’t really like him.

Rory liked Jess and she loved him. She liked that he liked the same stuff as her, liked that he’d help out his uncle without bragging, and talk with her friends, and throw literary challenges at her because he genuinely wanted her opinion. She loved his honesty, his integrity, how he’d leave her speechless with his gaze and breathless with his kisses. How he looked at her, all of her, and never made her feel like she was lacking. She liked and she loved him. And it scared her shitless.

#REMINDER: THIS IS MY INTEPRETATION OF THINGS AND NOT OBJECTIVE WHAT SO EVER #AND I AM AWARE OF THAT AND MY SHIPPING BIAS #really I do think it’s more complicated than this and that she liked and loved a little of all of them #I ​just like the sad poetry of this take ya know how the one she felt it all with was the one she couldn’t handle being with #gilmore girls #jess mariano #rory gilmore #literati #the potato rants #gilmore girls meta #my meta

Here are some fiction books by Palestinian authors about Palestinian characters that I've read and enjoyed! Whether it's about living under the occupation or teenage diaspora falling in love, it's important to support Palestinian authors and read their stories, especially as attempts at censorship increase Let me know if you have any recs for me to add to my tbr!

Shifter

it is easy to envy the shifter who runs with canid grace and flies on borrowed bones who hears metaphor in whalesong and drinks deep ultraviolet radiance

but what of the loss of such gifts with every shift?

we, landbound, tasting flight with our eyes forever cast skyward mourn every pang of loss upon waking from that dream of wing and loft and break

so how must the shifter feel?

with a thousand phantom limbs a hundred phantom senses mourning loss of seal language when in a form without ears doleful glare at sweet berries while a carnivoran tongue cannot taste its kiss hot tea left un-drunk in a garden where eyes no longer reach the full spectrum

a price must be made for each gift purchased and I know not whether I could stand the strain of a life in such elated grief

#misc #u kno that feel when u wake up from a dream where u could fly and spend the day in a state of fucked up grief #ya something like that #mia writes poetry

I love a book in verse. Particularly ya novels written by amazing authors such as this one about topics that many of us truly experience at a young age. It's the lyrical and hard-hitting feeling of these lines that really resonated with me, particularly about a topic that so many of us, no matter what our gender is, understand.

Samira is Sudanese living in DC. Her mother wants nothing more than to protect her from the alarming amount of harm that could happen in this country that feels so different to her. As many mothers do, she winds up alienating Samira, so when real problems do begin to happen, she feels as though she has nowhere to turn.

This story that unravels throughout this book is juxtaposed with some very beautiful thoughts on the myth of Persephone and her relationship with Hades , the underworld, and her mother. This ancient tale feels more relevant than ever being spun through Samira's story. Less about the girl and her desires and so much focus on the mother's reaction and Hade's controlling nature. In this case, we do get the tale from the girl's side of the story.

When a man, Horus, enters Samira's life, she feels so much at once and doesn't quite understand or have the ability to clearly see the red flags. I felt a deep connection with Samira's honest character and definitely recommend this one!

An Unnamed Third Life Poem

written for my reading for pleasure class

Roses are red, violets are blue,

but those are not what I’m offering you.

Poppies are small, not meaning much,

but joined by a lilac, they have the right touch.

That pit caused me pain, and caused you some, too,

the sands are rough, and the skies are blue,

this water is cold, and so is your sword,

but I’m loyal to you. You have my word.

#this is the first poem i’ve ever written please me nice 🥺 #the people in my discord servers seemed to like it so here ya go tumblr #poetry #third life #trafficshipping #never left the desert #desertduo #scarian #grian #gtwscar

them <3 but as dragons :D

I’m not at all familiar with drawing dragons, but the idea was planted in my head and I cannot let it go! After some trial and error this is what I’ve got! I’m very happy with how the designs turned out, and I hope to expand a bit on the idea :3 The turned into animals prompts very much helped me commit to this too <3

#redstone and skulk #them <3 #watercolor #mixed media art #traditional art #ya girlie grew up with ninjago and an obsession with all things dinosaurs so ya know I had to do it to them #my art #I’ve kind of been forgetting to tag my art with that oops #I see tanguish as this very little and scrappy dragon who sneaks into dragon lairs to yoink some coin and food #but eventually gets caught when he tries to take from helsknight’s stuff (maybe he accidentally ruins the poetry hk had written) #definitely more of an au rather than follow one for one the events of rns #Onto the next paintings! (And my homework…) #tanguish #helsknight
