brief introduction to ouroboros gang, #2!

post #1 if ya missed it

hiya! wow! it's been so nice seeing friendsies following :~) i lobe u guys. today im gonna tell you about another one of ayirine's formative relationships, this time with her twin brother, shihayi. cw for child death + reference to suicidality in a young child

they were born identical, spent their early years attached at the hip, both quiet curious kids (boys, then- emao and shihayi). when they were five they both woke up one morning- still dark, too early- gasping for air, in bed beside each other. the same too-vivid dream of something that must be dying, but two colors- pain-hot, pain-cold, red-black, blue-black, smoky, salty. each feeling heavy as anything. they didn't know there was anything true about the fear that followed them for days, or the fragments liable to flicker in any eye they closed for too long. they got stranger, knew things they shouldn't know. when they were eight there was a fire. both caught inside. shihayi knew it too well- got tangled in the terror of nightmare made real. emao stumbled out singed and alone.

a frantic neighbor pulled him out of the pond the next day. he'd half-expected this, once he got underwater- it didn't taste enough of salt.

and a few years later, a twinless girl building herself a new name chose two pieces. ayi for a dead boy few remembered, and rine for the sea she hoped to meet someday.

Experienced several previously undiscovered emotions today because my (conservative) mom said being gay is a choice because SHE likes women too but she simply chooses not to acknowledge it

my mum forbade me to say anything to my dad about the top surgery thing, and it's just hit me how funny it would be if i got it done and didn't tell him and just waited for him to notice. i mean, what's he gonna say? "didn't you used to have tits?"

#obviously she meant 'don't get it done and don't tell him you thought about it' but i am choosing to read it as #'gaslight him into thinking you've been titless all your life' #be shh now #containment breach

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

#it's hard sometimes not to be embarrassed when people tell you you should be and im still working on it #but life is so much more fun that way

i am a woman at war with herself, torn forever between my love of detective fiction and my hatred of cops and cop media

people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%

#as a writer every time someone dms me saying thank you for what you do its like no THANK YOU for reading it and telling me #writing #art

cashier: ok that'll be $20

me (visibly sweating): ah, yes, of course! a perfectly reasonable price for a grilled cheese and a small smoothie! that was exactly the price i expected you to say when i ordered a single grilled cheese and a smoothie and my vision is NOT getting blurry as we speak! i am a perfectly normal temperature and my speech patterns are natural and even because this is the countenance of an individual who expected to pay 20 american dollars for a single grilled cheese and a smoothie!

cashier: where's all that blood coming from

#this is my fault moving to la #if anyone tells me to just bring food from home and stop eating out i KNOW #i'm BAD ABOUT THAT but i'm TRYING

"average person sees 3 spiders a year" factoid is a statistical error. Sephora Georg, who attracts 3 million horny spiders with the spider sex lotion, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

#sephora spider sex cream #please tell me other people are caught up on the Sephora Reddit discovering that lotion that attracts wild spiders #spiders georg #spiders mention #Sephora

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

#rambling #seen wp go ‘they’re mismembering their history is all-‘ #as if they’d know more than the actual Japanese people #comments on ever post about yasuke are full of racist wp arguing with Japanese ppl and telling them that yasuke was a ‘nobody slave’ #while Japanese ppl are just like ‘well anyway-‘ on their asses it’s kind of embarrassing #the guy is literally an historical figure bro #how are you mad that everyone from a country that you have such an unhealthy interest in isn’t as racist as you are??? that’s what it’s #giving #I’m sure there are lots of Japanese ppl being racist af too #since antiblackness is global and everyone has a problem with black people simply existing but #they hate us too but 😭 #it’s just #expect full blown kkk bullshit as soon as a black character pokes their head out from around the curtain #antiblackness #I see white ppl cry about yasuke every other month man #or at least once a year on Twitter
