tagged by dear jo @ofthelostandfound to list 3-5 snippets of literature/media that live in your head rent-free to the point where you have them memorized; write them down from memory, no cheating allowed:

pater noster qui es in caelis sanctificetur nomen tuum, adveniat regnum tuum, fiat voluntas tua sicut in caelo et in terra. (& etc., my latin spelling is rusty as shit so i’m not gonna type out the whole thing lol. is this cheating?? idk my brain just starts reciting it the moment it gets bored so)

“i kneel into a dream where i am good and loved. i am good. i am loved. my hands have made some good mistakes. they can make better ones.” - uhh i think it’s by natalie wee?

“he is constructing a god out of my body and i do not stop him. this will make a ghost of him and me. but tonight he needs an altar and i’m not here to be brave.” - i CANNOT for the life of me recall the source and google isn’t helping?? i’m sorry. i’m just a silly pigeon. (edit: jo found the source on my own blog whdbajbsak i’m a dumbass, it’s by clementine von radics)

“i want to utter you. i want to portray you not with lapis or gold, but with colors made of apple bark. there’s no image i could invent that your presence wouldn’t eclipse.” - rilke

“i will explore you and mine you and you will redraw me according to your will. we shall cross each other’s boundaries and make ourselves one nation. scoop me in your hands for i am good soil. eat of me and let me be sweet.” - j. winterson

(tiny bonus, not really whole snippets, just smth i say on a daily basis:

“o god, make me good but not yet” - brideshead revisited; “it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world” - m. oliver)

tagging @arunima @kxowledge @dakotajohnsongf @dreamprophet @thotfuss & literally anyone who wants to do this (also sorry if y’all have already been tagged ily)

this got rly long ^^”

14. if you were to live with your best friend in an old flat in a big city, what would it look like?

i like this question a lot it makes me happy ^^ it’d be warm and a little messy, as many windows as we could get, lots of plants just all over the place i think, and books everywhere ^^” not pretty necessarily, but it’d feel like home - instruments and art supplies somewhere or everywhere or something in between, lotsa blankets, i feel like there wld be a lot of granola bars lol. i’m not sure what city it’d be in ! wherever we ended up ^_^

21. talk about your favorite bag, the one that’s been to hell and back with you and that you love to pieces

ngl i have a super rough track record with bags - they break or they get to be too small or what have u… but my first xc bag i’ve had for 4 yrs now and i love the thing - its falling apart and stained and fraying but it’s been through a lot so i understand ^^ its really big and perfect

49. do you like buying CDs and records? what was the last one you bought?

i don’t buy CDs so much for a couple reasons, 1 being that i don’t rly have a reason to and 2 being that i do buy a lot of records!! and my player has a converter so i can make CDs out of whatever records i buy ^^ the last record i got was !! sometimes i sit and think and sometimes i just sit by courtney barnett ^_^

51. think of a person. what song do you associate with them?

gabby, “i wear glasses” by mating ritual and “without you” by oh wonder ^_^

55. what’s the most dramatic thing you’ve ever done to prove a point?

i wish i were a more dramatic person tbh, the only thing i can think of rn is that i wore hats like Nonstop after getting my hair cut short bc my mom told me i wouldn’t look good in hats if i cut it ^^”

58. who’s the wine mom and who’s the vodka aunt in your group of friends? why?

60. do you like poetry? what are some of your faves?

this is so cute um… i love orchids a lot but idk if they?? ok i googled it there are flower crowns with orchids in them and they’re beautiful1!!!! those 100% ^_^ but w/e it is, smth mellow and minimal, i’m not abt anything super Busy

81. describe one of your friend’s eyes using the most abstract imagery you can think of

a deep breath in the middle of your favorite hiking trail, the dead of summer. humid, earthy, each breath cuts through the air like pine needles do, yknow? staring into the flat clear surface of the lake your family has fished in for years, sunnies darting out from under the rocks, grass prickling between your fingertips as you lean forward for a better look, knowing that if you dipped a finger in the water it would be warm, too. springy like the grass you find at the farms a couple miles out, springy like the way a fishing pole feels when you’ve got a bite, springy like bare feet in fresh mud the first time it’s been warm enough to take your shoes off all season. anywho !

86. do you like concept albums? which ones?

ngl i think the only concept album i’ve ever listened to has been crybaby by melanie martinez, which i liked and i own ^^ other than that?? idk? i mean gabs n i r writing a concept album so i feel obligated to like them lolol
