“A Tribute to the Fleeting Beauty of Life”
My heart weighs heavy, for I've just come to see
That everything, oh everything, has an expiry date on it, you see
The flowers that once bloomed so brightly in the field
Will wither and fade, leaving only memories revealed
The sun that rises every morning without fail
Will one day set for the very last time, its brightness pale
The laughter that echoes through the halls so free
Will one day fade away, leaving only silence in its wake, you'll see
The love that once burned so fiercely in our hearts
Will one day flicker out, leaving only ashes and broken parts
The moments we cherish and hold so dear
Will one day slip away, leaving only the echo of a tear
The realization dawns, that time waits for no one
And the precious things we hold so dear, will one day be gone
But let us not be consumed by sadness or despair
For in the fleeting moments, we can find beauty so rare
Let us cherish each moment, and hold it tight
For though it may be fleeting, it shines so bright
Let us live each day with love and grace
For in this fleeting life, that's all we can embrace
[Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of life, sometimes we stumble upon a moment of clarity. And today, with complete work of ChatGPT, I was reminded of the fleeting beauty of life, of how every moment is precious and deserves to be cherished. This poem, inspired by the wisdom of ChatGPT, serves as a tribute to the ephemeral nature of existence, and a reminder to embrace every moment with love and grace.]

me, writing a oneshot i already know is going to be well over 3000 words: this is easy. child’s play. i’ve never encountered a task so trivial in my life or one so easily accomplished. i am the master of language and repent at the sight of my long-winded metaphors. all other wordsmiths tremble before the might of my diction.
also me, working on a research paper that doesn’t even have to be 800 words: ridiculous. outrageous. i’ve literally never seen a number so high. i’ve never typed a word in my life. this is inhumane and i refuse to participate in this injustice >:(
#i'm going through it#if you have any thoughts on the handmaid's tale#pls don't let me know#i'm already having too many#personal#day daydreams

Hey, for anybody following my MCU AU fic series Wordsmith, I posted a new chapter today, the one I’ve been working toward for two years. Finally fixing Endgame once and for all. 3000 words or so of two great big middle fingers to Marvel.
In Your Blood, In Your Making, chapter 32
(note, if you haven’t been reading the series, you might want to start from the beginning, because by this point in the timeline it’s WAAAAAY different from canon and you likely won’t know what’s going on. Just sayin. hehe)

Interview with recording artist Will Love from Yaya Diamond on Vimeo.
In an era where your rare wordsmith often gets overlooked, Will Love is looking to redefine the stigma as he continues on his path towards stardom. The Charleston resident grew up in New Orleans, where he discovered a love for lyrical emcees such as Andre 3000 and 50 Cent. A rigorous upbringing led him to turn his pain into a passion as he began writing lyrics and melodies at a young age. He established a name for himself in the south by 2014 when Love dropped his mixtape The Substance Prefix, which amassed thousands of downloads and garnered him much attention in his hometown. Now in a new city with a crafted sound, Love continues to show off his versatility making summer anthems like “My Side” and jumping into more introspective trains of thought with records like “Electrolyte Water.” No matter what record the listener presses play on, they will notice a definitive vibe with truth and substance oozing from every bar. Will Love is ready for the next step and refuses to sacrifice his art for anything less than what it deserves!

The Metaphor Map
Form
The map originally started out as a leaflet/booklet but after having some feedback I decided to transform it into large fold out map, one that may be reminiscent of a free city map or theme park guide. This may be a little difficult to hold and navigate but I think that adds to the ‘travel’ metaphor that I am exploring.
To get a feel of the size I created a blank version:
Style
Initial cover, Refined Cover.
I wanted the visual style of the map to reflect that of the illustration and for there to be a synergy between them. To do this I picked a clean bold font with lots of weights to achieve a clean look, but then used the same bold saturated gradient of colours on the text and as a border.
Using the packed column layout helped to achieve the city map look, as they are usually trying to cram in as much info (and ads) as possible. This was also true for me as my writing ended up being around 3000 words, so I had to use a condensed font to make it fit. To break it up a bit I varied the width of the images. I made sure that the column gaps would line up with the folds in the paper to ensure readability.
In contrast to the super packed text on the right, I designed the back of the folded leaflet (bottom right corner) , which is also the visible and the right way up when you are reading to be a super concise description of the project so that people know what it’s about before they start reading, and if it’s the only thing they read it give them an idea of what’s going on.
On the reverse I created a line art version of the illustration adding a border, key and grid system that would give further visual cues that it is a map.
What does it say?
The actual copy in the leaflet is somewhat of a short essay, covering the origin of each metaphor, it’s effects and it’s downsides as well as exploring a few theories on why we use so many metaphors and why spacial ones are particularly prevalent.
Originally I wanted the writing style to match the map, pretending that these were real places that you could tour. However I am not a wordsmith and this proved too difficult so I ended up writing it in an informal academic style with a bibliography at the end. Whilst this isn’t as good I think the visual style carries a lot of the ‘map’ cues so the academic writing doesn’t detract too much.
Printing.
Printing the map is an unfinished nightmare. When I was designing it I had no idea how difficult it would be to find somewhere that could print A1 double sided. I called up 6-7 print places but they all said their large format printers couldn’t do it. I eventually found some companies online that do double sided wall calendars who could potentially do it, but their minimum orders where quite large and wouldn’t arrive on time.
In the end I really need to take the pictures so I actually just got them printed single sided and then used clever angles to make it look like one sheet in the photographs.
Obviously, if I was to exhibit this physically I would have to sort this out.

Listen Review of Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist’s ‘Alfredo’ by djbooth.net
“…brass knuckle lyricism.”
Freddie Gibbs could teach a masterclass on consistency in hip-hop. After spending the better part of the last decade dominating all kinds of production, from chipmunk soul to aggressive trap, the 37-year-old turned into one of the best technical rappers in the business.
Freddie’s newly released album, Alfredo, is produced entirely by The Alchemist, who also produced Fetti, his 2018 collaborative album with Curren$y. With features from Rick Ross, Benny The Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Tyler, The Creator, Alfredo is a welcome surprise.
If Freddie Gibbs continues his streak as one of hip-hop’s most consistent lyricists, Alfredo could be one of the most-talked-about albums of 2020.
In usual 1-Listen album review fashion, the rules are the same: no skipping, no fast-forwarding, no rewinding, and no stopping. Each song will receive my gut reaction from start to finish.
1. “1985”
Bernie Mac! It’s a good day to rewatch The Original Kings of Comedy. The production is majestic. These guitar riffs are dripping in gold. Here’s Gibbs. He is rapping with gusto. “I can smell the cane burning.” Does JAY-Z listen to Freddie Gibbs? I imagine he has a playlist with only songs from Freddie Gibbs and Clipse. “All my raps in the crack files.” Big drug dealer talk. Great intro.
2. “God Is Perfect”
Alchemist beats are patient. I love Gibbs’ cadence and delivery. His flow is so sharp. He jumps on beats and always finds a way to stomp on the pocket. The second verse is vicious. Such vivid lyricism. Does he write down his raps? He has a fluid style; it never sounds like he’s overthinking. His rapping sounds instinctive, but it’s also so detailed. “God Is Perfect” is a keeper. A last-second beat switch. No rapping, but a smooth close with another movie clip.
3. “Scottie Beam” feat. Rick Ross
Alchemist made a beat that sounds like a rainy day inside of a jazz bar. It’s so elegant. Freddie came to rap. More vivid lyricism. Clear illustration. I saw the line from Queen & Slim coming, but he still landed the dismount. “The revolution is the genocide, my execution might be televised.” He’s on fire. Using Judas/Jesus as an example of betrayal never gets old. “I really want me a Scottie Beam.” Rick Ross sounds like he just walked in the booth in a Versace robe with matching Versace slippers and du-rag. Ross is rapping. He’s back in that Rather You Than Me bag. My favorite kind of Ross. Luxury raps. Someone tell Alchemist to send Ross the pack. Need that. Keeper.
4. “Look At Me”
Alfredo has good pacing. Every song has moved seamlessly into the next. No skips. Each beat and every rap has been up to par. “Look At Me” has a rather slow build-up. I like it, though. Gibbs with the Wu-Tang nod. This record is good. It’s way looser than the previous records. The lucidness isn’t bad. Not my favorite, but a keeper.
5. “Frank Lucas” feat. Benny The Butcher
This one is dirty. You can hear the roaches scurrying. “Frank Lucas” sounds like super-villainy. Gibbs is rapping rapping. The George Jetson line took me out. He’s knocking this one out. “My name Cocaine, they not putting me on the nominees.” This record is big, big rap talk. Benny The Butcher. He raps like a man living up to his name. “It was either law school or dog food.” This verse is murder. The Butcher did what he needed to do. He’s still going. Keeper. Currently, the bar for the best.
6. “Something to Rap About” feat. Tyler, The Creator
I love these keys. “God made me sell crack, so I’d have something to rap about.” “Something to Rap About” is whimsical. Gibbs doesn’t take himself too seriously, but he won’t let you take him lightly. That sense of self makes him powerful. Every line is vivid. He would be great at writing screenplays. The Creator has arrived. He said this beat sounds like the boat he hasn’t bought yet. Tyler is spitting. These songs just keep getting better. “I used to be a Goblin under those bridges.” He’s on a rant. He held the flow, though. He’s getting it off his chest. “I’m grounded like the pavement, we ain’t linking like the bracelet.” One take. Tyler danced. That kid is a killer. Keeper.
7. “Baby $hit”
Second best song title on the album. A nice tempo. “Baby $hit” has some bounce. Rapid-fire Gibbs. “Got a pocket full of dead slave masters.” He’s on fire. A strong, strong verse. Man, Gibbs’ delivery is so pointed. Keeper. Another movie clip. I wonder if they had to clear all of these. [Editor’s Note: Movie clips must be cleared for commercial use.] Each clip makes the album feel even more cinematic. A moving picture.
8. “Babies & Fools” feat. Conway The Machine
Smooth! The sample escapes me, but this is a classic. Yep! He’s going for the trophies. Alchemist gave Gibbs the perfect pack. I wonder how many beats they went through. No skips yet. As far as albums go, Alfredo sounds like a complete body of work. They avoided all the superfluous touches that weigh albums down. Conway! He came to represent. “Call it crazy, but I always knew I would bounce back this hard.” Quotables all across this album. Every featured guest is rapping like it’s their song. “I rep my niggas every verse that I rap.” Keeper. Alchemist doesn’t miss.
9. “Skinny Suge”
Best song title on the album. Slow build-up. “Skinny Suge” is heavy. Gibbs sounds like the evolved form of Tupac. Hear me out. All I’m saying is his cadence and passion remind me of Pac. From my perspective, if Pac would’ve lived, his style would be similar to how Gibbs raps. “A skinny black nigga, rich off rap.” See. Pac would have said that, lol. Anyway, another keeper. Love the little touches at the end of every song. Alchemist gave us a soundscape.
10. “All Glass”
Last song. Can Gibbs go 10 for 10? Sounding like it. “All Glass” isn’t my favorite beat on Alfredo, but he’s rapping. Whew. Bar after bar. This record is a church. “Yeezy’s on, but I ain’t never seen a Sunday service.” The André 3000/Caroline line got me. He’s going for gold. That’s how you close it out. Ten keepers.
Final (First Listen) Thoughts on Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist’s Alfredo
Freddie Gibbs is brass knuckle lyricism. He strikes with a boxer’s tenacity without ever burning out—spitting line after line like a heavyweight who throws haymaker after haymaker as if they were jabs. But there’s also a storytelling bent to Freddie Gibbs, one that shapes his punchy songs into short cinema.
On Alfredo, Gibbs performs as a rap Olympian. From a writing perspective, the 10 songs all paint him as a top tier wordsmith. It’s a testament to his craft, but also to The Alchemist, who delivered the perfect set of beats, inspiring high-level rapping. Every rapper who appears on Alfredo does not slack. There isn’t a single moment dulling the ears.
Alfredo is well-rounded and sharp; an album with no skips served up by a rapper and producer who understand what it means to deliver a quality product.
Alfredo is quality rap at its finest.

As heavy rains lash the city, Mumbaikars took to social media to ask the BMC about roads with humorous posts as heavy rains lash the city today.
. Intermittent rain is likely to occur in the city and suburbs in the next 24 hours.
Mumbaikars made fun of the potholes and the traffic problems in Mumbai and some even shared information about jams and water logging. Comedians Rahul Subramanian and Atul Khatri also didn’t stay behind.

Picture perspective: 2007 - 35 yrs young vs. 2017 - 1 day from turning 45 (Sept. 25) One of the things I miss about living in Atlanta for 8 yrs is it was a music lover's dream. Always a show any day of the week. Sometimes with friends (Chastain, Shriner's Temple, The Earl, Tabernacle, Fox, Lakewood) while other times I ventured solo (The Loft, Roxy, Apache, Eddie's Attic, Eleven50) & met some awesome people. Went to see LB every single time they were in town so much so that we would talk after the shows or @phontigallo would have apparel goodies for me. So glad all of LB is still giving us feel good music. Hip hop show pet peeve: Watching 👸🏾 hustle their way to the front of the stage only to lustfully stare at the wordsmiths but not able to recite one dayum word. Back in South Florida for 2 years & the music scene is VERY underwhelming & dayum near nonexistent. 🙄😔🤷🏾♀️May be time to finally start this blog since I've been paying for the domain name for the last 3 years 🤔 because in the words of 3000, the South got something to say... #Libra #septemberlibra #birthdayeve #925 #perspective #littlebrother #yesIwasfeaturedontheirMySpacepage #hiphop #hiphophead #justusleague #getback #9thwonder #rapperbigpooh #phonte #music #atl #atlanta #atlmusicscene #atlantamusicscene

Fanfic Stats Tag Game
this looks like fun! thank you @love-howard-potts-3000 for tagging me.
Author name: dixiehellcat
Fandoms I write for: MCU, right now
Where I post: Ao3
Most popular one shot: I’m gonna have to go look at stats! I don’t pay them much mind...okay, it’s The Only Way Forward, which I wrote after the infamous Endgame trailer dropped (and before Captain Marvel) in which Pepper and Carol take a Kree vessel to rescue Tony.
Most popular multi-chapter story: The Placement of Angels, book 1 of my Wordsmith series, an MCU AU that started from the simple question ‘what if Christine Everhart wasn’t a catty bitch’ and the seismic changes that followed from that.
Favorite story I wrote: aw, question, no :D How can I choose? I love how Wordsmith is going, and some parts, like how Civil War happened (or rather, didn’t) in the current installment (Civility) just tickled me to write! The one I find myself going back and rereading the most, at least of late, is Cheat The Hangman. I was happy to have an idea come to me that let me have my cake and eat it too--be totally canon compliant with what we saw onscreen in Endgame, yet still have Tony survive and ultimately make it home.
Story you were nervous to post: the first one :D which again was Placement of Angels. I hadn’t written in a very long time, so I was super unsure I still had any kind of chops.
How do you choose your titles: sometimes they come to me easily (Placement of Angels did, as did Cheat the Hangman and several others) Sometimes I change half a dozen times before a story starts posting! I’d said all along that if Avengers 4 wasn’t called Endgame, that would be the title of the ninth and final book of Wordsmith. Then Marvel sniped me :D so I’ve been wrestling with titles for it ever since. Song lyrics, bits from quotes, or lines from poetry often make good titles for me.
Do you outline: oh Lord. The current bible for Wordsmith is (checks doc) 98k words. Seriously. And still, sometimes I don’t follow it. lolol. What it is is, when I think of lines for a scene way down the road, I write them down so I won’t forget them. By the time I get to writing that scene though, earlier stuff may have changed it, or the characters don’t want to say that, or, whatever.
How many stories: 13 posted so far. 2 more definitely coming (Fireblade and In Your Blood, In Your Making, books 8 and 9 of Wordsmith) plus a couple of possible side shorts set in that verse. Notes for several other stories, mostly AUs of some kind or another.
Do you take prompts: maybe? i don’t know, I tend to write what the spirit moves me to, so I don’t know if I could do prompts! I want to sign up for a bingo someday and try.
Story you are most excited to write: the rest of Wordsmith! I am SO STOKED about how the time period of Endgame is going to work out in my verse, and there is a plot twist before then (haven’t decided if that’s going to happen at the very end of Civility, or the start of Fireblade) that I’m quite looking forward to.
I think everybody I know who writes has already been tagged :D so, if you follow me and you see this and you want to do it, I would love to read it. I really enjoy hearing other people’s writing processes. And feel free to blame me. hehe
