[Image Description: Ten images of text.
1: *covered in blood* i will.... *trembling* CHOOSE TO BE KIND... *in pain* i will be... NICE to others... *wanting to kill* i will see good in EVERYONE *yielding a knife* i will NOT be like those who hurt me... *screaming* i will be BETTER then who i was..."
2: "My lonely girl // MY angry girl // My brave // I love you, my strange girl".
3: "For many species of large animals in the twenty-first century, the single most important determinant of survival is whether their existence is useful to humans. But if you can't be of utility to people, the second best thing you can be is cute. You need an expressive face, ideally some large eyes. Your babies need to remind us of our babies. Something about you must make us feel guilty for eliminating you from the planet."
4: "My soul has been so fearful, so violent: forgive its brutality."
5: "only place for my heart is the very next step // only place for my hands is holding to the ground around me // i was lost from my body worse than i thought // now i love her more than ever, yeah she's all that i've got".
6: "As you lay dying I asked, What if your biggest regret? // Every kindness withheld, you said. // Every flicker of pleasure denied, you said. // Look, you said, sunlight."
7: "story magic is scared of her and the god of evil death and chaos wants to put her in a jar".
8: "But it's an exceptionally minor vice, and for whatever reason, I've always felt like I need a vice. I don't know whether this feeling is universal, but I have some way-down vibrating part of my subconscious that needs to self-destruct, at least a little bit."
9: "I said, somebody somewhere // will find what's left // Oh yeah // And we'll become a myth, man, // oh man".
10: "characters with prey animal rage // characters with both the abject terror and murderous desperation of an animal that knows it is cornered and destined to be eaten. you just can't get that kind of angst out a successful hunter. but alternatively i posit: predator animal fear. which is a totally different thing". /end ID]

The UK Rock Superstars tournament will determine the greatest UK rock act of all time via Tumblr polls. The first place finisher in each group will automatically advance to the final knockout bracket, but any other rock act can advance to the stage based on the percentage of votes they receive in the group stage. Choose wisely!

web weaving on “child’s innocence” pls! Thankyou!
Our mothers are so innocent. They don’t know anything about our fierce attachments, our hatching hearts.
Laughter, softness, sweetness and surprise,

i finally got my marling prints after a significant mail delay and they are not the blue I was anticipating. v dreamy, but they clash just a little with the rest of my art. if anyone would be interested in purchasing (the list price was $70 each), i'm asking here first bc the same LM people have been following me/mutuals for... 12 years. send me a message, send a carrier pigeon, idk:
