#writing about you

[rhapsodic-evanescence]

After all these years, I present to you my book

#poetry #poets on tumblr #deep thoughts #writing about you #writer #society of writers

[wayfaringauthorofficial]

I never thought this would happen,

sickening feeling in my gut again.

All unshed tears, wide eyes staring at the

ceiling again.

But I was stupid enough to let down my walls

because kind eyes and a twisted smile

told me it was okay.

Maybe one day,

I’ll learn to run when he says ‘hi’.

Maybe one day,

I won’t go out of my way

to please him because he wants me close

and I don’t want to lose someone else.

Because some people are meant to be lost…

aren’t they?

--Numbed for the umpteenth time.

• Locked Away •

There's a girl inside me

All of nineteen, petulant and silly

I keep her tightly locked away

Shielded from the light of day

People might think me cruel

But I just had to cut the fuel

That powered this love for you

That drowned me in the darkest blue

I hear her mewling and moaning

I can feel the frustration in her groaning

But you see, I know better now

A decade and counting on this vow

Never, ever, never again

Will I endure that pain

Never will I lose myself in your eyes

Never will I believe those beautiful lies

Never again will this body bruise

For the only sin of being your muse

Never again will I lose my sanity

To satiate your insurmountable vanity

I've tried reasoning with my girl

Took your dirt and turned it into a pearl

But alas, she is still pining

And I can't take the whining

So she's locked away and I threw out the key

Now she's a prisoner, trapped inside of me

I keep her safe and well-fed

Even if to the world, she's dead

i made a million playlists for you.

playlists for when we drink coffee.

playlists for when we’re alone in your car, not wanting the night to end.

playlists for when i’m angry at you.

playlists for when you make me feel all giggly and odd inside.

playlists for when it’s 3 am and you’re fast asleep but i’m still up thinking about you.

playlists for when we bake together.

playlists for when i’m ignoring you.

playlists for when you tell me that you’re worried about me.

playlists for when you threaten to stop speaking to me if i don’t let you help me.

playlists for when you apologize because we’re both kinda each other’s prisoners.

playlists for when we thrift.

playlists for when i notice that i cannot imagine my life without you.

playlists for when you break down in front of me, and i know that it’s all my fault.

playlists for when i’m sorry, the ones i listen to the most.

i’m sorry.

The things I loved I always loved them alone. No one to share about my adoration for these things. When I tried to talk about the things I loved, I always got interrupted.

So, how was I supposed to tell you that you mean the world for me? That I would not be able to see the colours in this world, that I always tended to hate, without you. That because of your love this life now feels like a vivid dream to me now.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

#almost wrote the champagne line as ''effervescent'' but legit could not write it without saying ''effervescent like a snail'' #ah tumblr... #writeblr #warm up #idk . having trouble writing rn #ps i don't like to talk about it . it is my medical information. but before you ask. yes this is about being on the spectrum #i really don't like when ppl make my writing about how im [whatever ID]. i want it to ring true for the people who it rings true for #i don't want it to be like ''awwwww look at this person!!! she's the EXCEPTION!!! :)" ..... #no.... not really..... #idk something gross happens whenever i admit to certain conditions and i turn into like inspiration p*rnography #like yes they actually let us use keyboards these days #furthermore i just... dont feel comfortable talking about this part of me. i had too bad of a childhood. adhd is one thing... #this one im like. still coming to terms with. which is like. my own journey. #idk. just please be kind. some things are more private than others. this one feels private to me. #i do not know how to help others w/this . and i do not know how to help myself. i will talk about it if im ever ready. idk if that will #actually ever happen #ty in advance i love u im kissing you we are kissing somewhere on the spectrum

made a sticker for anyone to slap onto their work if they need to

#ramble #i've only interacted with tiktok via osmosis #but something is eating their brain matter and it makes me sad #it's fine if you only want to read light things (all power to you) but don't whine at me because i write about bad people sometimes #i'm so tired

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.

Those two blocks between our houses

might as well be an ocean because you never wanted anything

to do with me in the first place.

You just wanted a placeholder girl to drag along

and call yours.

You just wanted a ghost

to walk over,

to walk through and talk over

before you left her on the curb

with the one other girl you

have called yours in your entire life.

You don’t want a girlfriend.

You don’t want a wife.

All you want is a little puppet,

so you can pull at a few dainty strings

and try to change her

with all your might.

-I was never what you asked for.

#i would have given you the best days of your life #amwriting #but you didn't want a girlfriend #you wanated a puppet #spilled ink #amwritingpoetry #amwriting poetry #writing about exes #writing about my past #writing about you #i hated the way you treated me #but i stayed for as long as I could #because you made my parents happy #but why should i throw away my happiness #for people who don't love me #now it's 1 am and I can't fall asleep #because I'm replaying all of my mistakes #and I think you're one of them #writing #spilled ink poetry

Glances

Oh baby, you're up to no good

Playing just to see if you could

Watching me do my thing

Masquerading as the king

Oh baby, you keep stealing glances

I keep searching for second chances

I feel your eyes gaze through me

Sending shivers and killing me softly

Oh baby, you're super bad

Riling me up, making me mad

Winking your eyes

Trying to get a rise

Oh baby, what are you playing at

Acting like you're all that

Just to see how far you can push

Turning my insides into mush

Oh baby, what do you want from me?

You don't even know what I can be

Teasing and taunting away

Hinting at something words can't convey

Oh baby, you're playing with matches

Experimenting in batches

But I'm the whole goddamn forest fire

Burning bright and hot with desire

Oh baby, you want to play with me?

I invented this game, I hold the key

I make the rules, we'll take turns

After all, it's fun to play with fire, till it burns.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

#eleanor shellstrop #you know i was thinking about how we hold female characters to such high standards #and severely criticize bitchy female characters while praising asshole male characters #and then i remembered eleanor and realized that she is the perfect example of how to write an asshole woman that the audience likes #the worse she is the more i'm drawn to her (and honestly same for tahani) #we need more cringe-fail women who nobody likes (for good reason) #the good place #female characters #writing women #girl failure #girl loser #she's so mean #i love her #my favorite #fucking asshole #iconic #the good place eleanor #tgp #tgp eleanor #kristen bell

those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what's about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn't coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death -- hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. "it won't reset anymore," you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you're still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them

#orcspeak #edit: this is not about fanfic nor is it about a specific fanfic nor is it about a specific show or movie or book #this post is about the time loop trope itself which occurs in many different stories spanning many different art forms #i don't read or write fanfic and I'm not looking for fanfic recs and whatever character you think this is about there's #an 80 percent chance i don't recognize their name

gold fragments in your hair 

gold light in your eyes 

gold symphonies emerging from your lips 

signaling the incoming eclipse 

i feel as if i’m not meant to see you 

after this

and when the sun is no longer concealed

the illumination will reveal my faults 

and release you from your daze

as the sun shines on all your features 

some i would’ve never grasped

in the moon’s light 

i know you see me too 

and i’m terrified
