(995) we think in polaroids

i'm a poet, we think in polaroids snapshots of this here this now artificially and chemically aged composed of candid framing i haven't lived a snapshot in awhile or maybe it's why i don't remember dreams anymore i used to dream of snapshots these pearls on a string where i'm present in myself an unmistakeable situation instead of day in day out just people rubbing themselves on my last raw nerve once, the rickety staircase and the sea of trees twelve years before in sleep to presence a black dog labrador slinking under the chainlink fence that's all in the past now so does that mean i'm where i'm supposed to be

are there more polaroids to come aging yellow and black a chiaroscuro in 50mm the feel of a you gripping my shirt in your trembling fist too stoic to cry the lines of our apres vu fading away even before you open your mouth is this a dream i want to dream or is this a dream where i'm supposed to be you doubletake when you see my university license picture with all the lines faded i gave that t-shirt away or it's piled holey in the landfill i was half my weight now but it's all the invisible burdens like punches and my stomach paunch

i used to live more in daydreams than in the screams embedded in the drywall but i closed my eyes and gave myself up to overstimulation instead to sleep at night did my snapshots die or did i kill them myself trying to cut apart polaroids with dull scissors they rend jagged and don't split clean

i used to garden ideas like resettling dead land they flowered in places until i choked on them i knew going in that as i got older i got more rigid more the camera, less the polaroid more the hardware, less the art less creative less imaginative less less less was that written in the stars or did i do it to myself

i miss getting all dressed up

🥀 men | minors | terfs do not fucking interact 🥀

#i have been having a really bad/weird body day so can y’all please hype me up #these pics are from almost a year ago but I looked so fucking good #someone give me a reason to get all dolled up again PLEASE #I’m talking #lavender.jpg #femme #lesbian #femme4butch #femme4stud #bodies like mine #because it is mine #and bodies like mine are fucking hot as fuck #these pictures make me a bit sad because they were taken at [redacted’s] house in nj and we had a date at the best Italian place #and the first Polaroid’s kept in my wallet are from that night #i think I’m ready to take them out though #i didn’t think I’d ever post pics from this time because it now just makes me so sad to think about and see #but I remembered how beautiful I looked #and how good I felt #and I posted them #so it means something

No bc Judy and Nick are definitely the kind of couple that take selfies in bed together

They literally invented selfies so as they should 🥺

#disney making them take obnoxiously cute photos together #disney what is wring with you (do it again) #i hope we get more once the trailers drop (<<< my favorite subject) #i think they would also invest in polaroids #and keep each other in their wallet like a little do it for them type thing (cayse they're gross) #zootopia #wildehopps #zootopiathingz

This makes this blog the 4th or 5th thing I've titled Municipal Building

#polaroid #b&w #photography #instant photography #i really just think the idea of stamping “MUNICIPAL BUILDING” into stone is neat and we should consider doing it more often

#not me going down an etsy/ebay/amazon rabbit hole trying to find something to use my 3 year old birthday money on #I made a wishlist and I have been going through the items on it trying to see what average prices are and such #the problem with that is that my birthday is coming up again and my mom knows about the list and IDK if she's bought any of the these thing #would it be more worthwile to buy a polaroid camera or the printer that connects to your phone/computer #and makes ur digital photos into polaroids #...i have sooooo many photos that i could print off #i need to make a few books with them #i also need to stop looking at knife shaped letteropeners #and pretty scissors and sewing/fibrecraft paraphernalia #and candle snuffers/wick trimmers (we can probably get those at yankee candle the next time we go) #{the new advent candles my mom got this year splatter the table with wax if you look and them while thinking about blowing them out – #– i ended up putting a glass bottle over them to put them out for like 2 weeks}

p.s. the el hard times edit was almost a willel edit bc i feel like it sums up el's relationship with brenner And will's relationship with henry. I'M TIRED OF YOU!! STILL TIED TO ME!! but there aren't enough s4 will clips that were relevant bc they sidelined him and didn't let him do anything except be gay s4.. rip </3 perhaps i can make one after s5

OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO FUCKING REAL FOR THAT. JESUS. NO STOP WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THIS😭😭😭

#I said hard times is el bc I focus so hard on the daddy issues aspect of the song #(like. in the edit I entertain in my head I would use more of the song than you did) #but if you're just talking lines like “I'm tired of you still tied to me” then. yeah. ugh that's so fucking will too #god fucking dammit. this is so sad. #ooh also though if we wanna talk taking very specific lines out of context of most of the rest of the song #whenever I listen to strangers and hear #“I tried to be good am I no good am I no good am I no good? with my memory restricted to a polaroid in evidence” + #“when my mother sees me on the side of a milk carton in winn dixie's dairy isle she'll cry and wait up for me” yeah I think about s1 will #like the rest of the song is not will coded obviously. but. y'know #ask #strangeswift

Looks like Alex isn't following Janelle anymore.. I wonder if he saw that weird story she posted with the polaroid of him in it and thought it was creepy like we did and finally hit the unfollow button? she is so cringe.. good for him.

i think it was this lol

@overbearingstruggles blames the marriage counselor lol

#you’re being a little hard on her lol #the story with the polaroid wasn’t weird WE are weird for even noticing #idk why you think she’s cringe she’s just living her life he was an asshole #atl #answered ask #anyway bringing anon back with some fascinating info love to see it

looove theater can still hit different after watching it a dozen times and ohh boy did this line hit different today

#idk what was different abt the way they played it today but god oh man am i thinking #we had already talked abt girl already being a pretty . pointed or cutting insult for d #that + being told he’s a fool abt love. yea yea yea #ALSO that + playing with the idea that he’s trying to size up orpheus as anew companion this scene #sickening! #have i mentioned i love this play #have i mentioned i’m going to kill ***** ****** #it’s okay he’s not in this scene :) #i also love having versions of a play that only exist in my head. find them comforting. this is one of those moments #ted talks #polaroid stories
