I loved you at lunch
when the coffee kicked in and you
cut carrots into coins
for our salad, the satisfying, slow knocking
of the dull knife
against the cutting board
while I pretended to read
while I worshipped you from the sofa
— Solmaz Sharif, from “Break-Up,” in Look: Poems

“I can see - In the dark. On through the shadows and somber veils. Past the masks - The grays and blacks. I see into souls… The yawning pith of your starless whole. Aspirations of your being. Things you carefully keep hidden - Are never hidden from me long…”
— Helaena C Moon - Scorpio @ : http://hapless-hollow.tumblr.com/

The creature that wants to kill you will not growl.
The function of a growl is as a warning. It is a communication that violence is available as a tool, but is not preferred. Other outcomes, besides your death, are available and should be considered.
But the creature that wants to kill you will not growl.
If your death is the goal, then growling will only serve as a delay and may result in your escape, which runs counter to the goal. There will be no growl, no warning. There will be no snarl or hiss or bluster. The creature that bares its teeth with the intent to kill only does so to bring closer its fangs to your demise.
The creature that growls does not want to kill you, but will if it must.
I advise you to appreciate the warning. You may not receive another.

I’m doing Commissions!
It’s been a long while since I’ve opened up anything, but I wanted to kick things back up with doing some $35 portrait sketch commissions. If you’re interested in getting some art for yourself or for a friend, please fill in this form right here.
If not, be a dear and give this a reblog? Thank you 💖✨
I’m opening up 5 slots to start with. Once those are filled up, I’ll close it off until I am finished with the first batch and reopen up things. All a means so I don’t overwhelm myself.
Will draw:
OC’s
Fan art
Real people
Won’t draw:
Mecha
