Dirk McDermott

Patrick Donnelly

Fellow Scout who could climb and touch 

the gold ball at the top of the flagpole, 

and do math three grades ahead 

under his crewcut. I need a calculator 

to figure how long since I spoke his name.

How long since I offered my own blue

neckerchief to wipe his always runny nose.

But last night in smoke, steam, and rain

beside a wrecked train I told him how happy 

I felt in the igloo we’d built, how handsome 

a cub he’d been crawling on all fours

up the twilit tunnel to me. In a hoarse 

whisper and never looking at his face.

:: want to hear one of my favourite pieces of trivia? In Kafka’s 200th letter to Felice Bauer he asked, ‘Can you actually read my handwriting?’

@xiaolintease      continued from here.

Eu também... She ran the words over and over again in her head, they way they rolled off his tongue and his adorable flush as he said them. Eu também...

“That means ‘me too,’ right?” Portuguese wasn’t coming easily to her, but she was trying. She liked the way he beamed at her when she spoke, even haltingly, in his native tongue. Anyway, she hoped it meant he’d been wondering, too, because it would feel very lonely to be feeling like this all by herself.

“Why don’t we try it?” she wondered, her voice low, but her eyes sparkling with the excitement and eagerness she felt whenever she discovered or learned something new. “We could slip away for a little while. I don’t think anyone would miss us the rest of the night.”

It wasn’t extremely late, but it wasn’t early enough that the Heylin side would be up to their usual tricks. Astoundingly, they generally kept pretty regular hours, and didn’t tend to get up to their usual mischief after 9. It was very considerate of them, if you asked her.

“What do you say?” she wondered, tentatively sliding her fingertips up Rai’s chest. His muscle structure and body hair fascinated her, and she adored touching it. Adored even more the reaction she got from him when she did.

Daily Prongsfoot Thought

James and Sirius both have astounding memories, which is partly what lets them succeed so well at school while dedicating surprisingly little time to studying. While Sirius is still living with his parents, he destroys James' letters whenever they make it to him so that his parents/Regulus/Kreacher can't get their hands on it. When he's feeling most alone, Sirius 're-reads' James' letters in his head, often falling asleep while almost hearing James' voice speaking those written lines: How much James misses Sirius, and what they're going to do when they see each other again, and how, one day, no-one will ever be able to keep them apart.

one of the only song poems performed by the songwriters themselves on tin pan alley records of new york and later florida, release date unknown. described by bob purse as a wonderfully incompetent vanity record, i would argue askew. its shambolic doldrums, musing naturally of lost love, and its oddball ending evade any need for measure as frank geramita passes the precision of the emotional resonance to the recording, the flourishes of a dependent origination clarified at the motor level of its statement. morose coding, an ambered immortal order in the lagging harmony of lightning bugs, spirited out of tune and time.

I'm going to say something that may not be received well on this blog but I think the reason so many women are making and buying these headless naked women items is because they're trying to normalize something that they are fundamentally uncomfortable with in their guts. The entire world (men and feminists alike) are telling them that nudity is empowering. That taking off their clothes and exposing their bodies will make them stronger women. And they know that isn't true but they think they're crazy because everyone is saying this. So to try to force comfort with the idea, they start by normalizing female nudity outside themselves. That's my perspective on this whole thing.

I really like this actually! I think it’s a really interesting angle. The trifecta of headless/limbless/naked is the epitome of vulnerability after all… thanks anon!

"trust and distrust"

in a german ancestry book ('stammbuch des albrecht christoph gugel'), ca. 1686-1688

source: Nürnberg, GNM, Hs 84104 b, fol. 74v

the emblematic image serves as a reminder that a ruler shoudn't be too trustful. the hand stands for "fides" (trust), the eyes on the hand stand for cautiousness.

excerpt from a printed emblem book (ca. 1700) describing the same motif (sometimes referred to as manus oculata):

i am absolutely obsessed with your alpha dave because you just hit that itch for me when it comes to the idea of guardians being the worst version of what their kid version could become. i've always wondered that, if the alpha guardians had the same concept the beta guardians did, how would they be-- especially dave, cause the striders relationships with their guardians are always so like. volatile? just the idea of dave growing up with no one to give him proper attention or care or love, (1/2)

and instead of bettering himself he just turns to the constant attention and eyes of the public when he becomes famous, because he NEEDS attention, he needs people to want him and crave him and look up to him and shit. and alpha dave just going down this spiral of doing more and more wack shit to get the public's attention, doing hard drugs with nasty circles he shouldn't be getting himself in, cause he's constantly chasing after the euphoria of people "loving" him. thats all thank you for listening to me go on and on like a maniac. tldr alpha dave being the worst version of who dave can be is an idea i am absolutely obsessed with partially due to your interpretations of him. ur art and ideas are stellar about the striders (2/2)

oh my god I love you. yes this very much how i envision alpha dave to be and it really falls into my stringent devotion to the concept of "universal karma" i.e. where beta dirk strider was so aloof and in his own head alpha dave strider must exist as an extreme direct inverse of that. needy, demanding, overbearing. this man, much like beta dirk, was not built to be a guardian. I think he kind of sucks super bad and it's so awesome. i could go on and on and on about this but I already have another ask in my drafts about him that’s hit 1k words with no end in sight and who knows when that’ll be ready. thank you for your kind observations. picture me smiling at you right now.

#alpha dave strider #ask #lucy art #I would have given him a coke nail here if I thought I could’ve make it look good #and also. like. tangentially. but very related. #the reason i view him as a cocaine addict isn't just because ohhhh hollywood superstar of course he does drugs #though that definitely enables his access #coke is a death trap for those with no spine and no self esteem because it makes you feel on top of the world. #if you're miserable and spiralling if you're insecure whether or not everyone in the room hates you you can snort a line #and abruptly perceive yourself to be the hottest shit ever #have read stories of many doing coke and thinking they're the life of the party only to be told afterwards that they were being a jackass #there are many such cases of diffident actors becoming cocaine addicts for these reasons #and that everyone hated them for being there #that's fundamentally dave to me #definitely a product of the environment. I think he has ALWAYS been quite insecure but in an environment like this the stakes are amplified #like it's a social game. everything is a social game there. and he is NOT a naturally confident man #the thing is with a lot of the high-profile coke addict actors the thing is like. they're alone. or they perceive themselves to be alone. #alone in hollywood afraid they're just not cutting it not fitting in with the scene not making ''friends'' #which is really more attributable to the social scene being so cutthroat and highschoolesque #a bunch of self-centered preps who would be nobodies if they hadn't grown up in wealthy families and shit like that #and I don't think dave would've come from an upbringing like this at all. alienated this guy craves attention and peer approval #doses and mimosas.flac #this is almost opposite of my view of dirk and i often use dave as a tuning fork for him #i had typed up a whole essayramble here and when i saved tumblr wiped out half the tags. did not realize there was a limit. #i suppose i will save to topic i discussed for its own post. thank you all for reading my tags as usual #sorry i edited your three asks into two asks so this post wouldn't get super long. hope you don't mind.

This evening went to the Dungeons & Dragons movie and thought it was good silly fun. Michelle Rodriguez's fights were pleasingly Xena-esque and I found certain shades of Ulysses Everett McGill in Chris Pine's bard.

My favourite part of all was perhaps the little puppet cat person baby that the paladin pulled out of the big fish.
