Infinities with you...

Stillness...

Silent eyes...

Humility...

Silent cries...

An eyes invitation...

An open sea...

A wondrous adventure...

A wondrous dream...

Sailing through

something new...

The delusions...

Daydreaming my way through...

All this space with you...

Fulfilling...

Infinities...

With you

I decided to make a clumsy sketchy mini comic about my process of writing a poem

Today's Mirra's birthday, and I decided instead of doing the usual things... to write some kind of song lyrics. Or a poem. I don't know. But the main snag is that since there is no gender neutral pronounce in our native language, yet I would like to have it in the text, and plus Mirra likes English language better, so. So I decided to write in English.

It was MUCH harder than I thought, my level is not enough to understand how well I use the words I want to rhyme and if the sentences are grammatically correct. I mean, whether native speakers talk like that at all.

Here goes the poem:

Amidst the forest deep and fair, The person stands so pure and rare, Sturdy and tall like willow trees Yet gentle like the morning breeze

With eyes that glinted like the moon, They work at dawn they work at noon. That tall stranger plants the trees With careful hands and thoughtful ease,

The person's soul is intertwined, With nature's beauty unconfined, A bond that cannot be undone, A life from seeds to trees, begun.

Their hair cascades in shiny streams, As sunlight dances through the trees, Observing all the nature's charms, Protecting woods from any harms.

Their steps so gentle on the ground, Leaves and twigs make not a sound, From south hills they looked afar At their grove, wide and bizarre,

As this person seeds, with eyes agleam Their face reflecting the sunset's beam The rain may come, the wind may blow, But these brave sprouts will surely grow.

Beneath the shining summer sun. The seedlings grow one by one Up toward the sky with grace and pride, And stand there strong with branches wide.

The soil, once barren, now alive, Their trees are in bloom, and bees arrive, A person stands quiet, yet not alone, For all the woods being their home,

Amidst the forest deep and fair They honored by its silent prayer For nature's power, beauty, and grace And for the peace reclaims this place

So if you seek the person rare, Amid the trees, you'll find them there, A friend to plants both tall and low A true guardian we blessed to know

a gift for @timbermirracle

🍷The Heir of Evil🐉 AU fans have decided, and...

🍷The Heir of Evil🐉 AU Reader will be an IceWing!!

I have a few headcanons for them, and a a bit of backstory and lore planned, too😊 Let's dive in:

• ❄IceWing!🍷Heir of Evil!🐉 Reader is the grandchild or great-grandchild to the wicked IceWing queen, specifically the one who put the tribe into multiple wars and skirmishes and tried to take over the dragon world. Reader isn't like her (they're not an irredeemable monster who hurts others for fun)

• Heir! Reader wears jewelry that is mostly silver or black, but loves any sort of colorful gemstones or charms...

• Heir! Reader only wears the pieces of jewelry that are necessary; they don't want to waste the tribe's treasure on frivolous items, and if the jewelry appeals to other tribes, then it might make Reader and the IceWings seem more appealing, like they're dragons, too...

• Heir! Reader is good with algebra, dragon biology, and creative writing...

• Heir! Reader is torn between what the two sides of their kingdom wants: to stay unscheming and try to foster peace, hoping other tribes will leave them alone and not hurt them further... or to amass enough power and treasure that they can wage a war against the other tribes, or at least the IceWing hybrids who some view as traitors...

• Heir! Reader's necklace they were told to never take off is enchanted, but they don't know that. The necklace hides something about them, which is why their vanished/dead parent gave it to them...

• Heir! Reader has had to stop a coup for their throne/title at age four (about 12 year old in WoF dragon years), which led to them earning the respect of the remaining advisors and generals of their late parent/late family, as well as the respect of the few nobles left and the different IceWing villages...

• Heir! Reader's hatching day is a mystery, as no one ever saw their egg, nor them, when they were first hatched, save for their deceased parent and a late ally of their's...

• Heir! Reader has an army of pet foxes, all of which are (diet) platonic yandere for them (they're all so cute and cuddly and fluffy-!)

• Heir! Reader, unlike most IceWings, enjoys trying cooked meats and exotic dishes from other tribes and kingdoms...

• Heir! Reader prefers to sleep with a fur blanket, not because they're cold (they're an IceWing), but because they like the soft fur and fuzzy texture...

• Heir! Reader is an aromantic-asexual...

• Heir! Reader enjoys traditonal IceWing foods such as fresh salmon with lemon juice, thinly-sliced caribou strips, puffin and moss salad, kalimari (squid), bear jerkey, ox ribs seasoned lightly with moss, seal meat marinated in ginger/lemon/honey, as well as ice cream, frozen berry slush, and lemon-flavored shaved ice...

• Heir! Reader likes traditional dishes from other kingdoms such as: MudWing's Diamond Delta Gumbo, SandWing's Cinnamon Milk and Roasted Lizard Kebabs, SkyWing's Charred+Barbecued Eagle Wings, SeaWing's Thousand Scales Thousand Fish Sushi, RainWing's Mango-Orange Juice, NightWing's Smoked Boarchops, HiveWing's Honey-roasted Shrimp, SilkWing's Loaded Baked and Sweet Potatoes, and LeafWing's Planter's Pie...

• Heir! Reader sometimes wears a small, spiked tailband on the end of their tail, nestled above where their spikes are...

• Heir! Reader enjoys sunrises, and writes new poems and hymns for their tribe to sing at their Gifts of the Ice Dragon Festival...

• Heir! Reader enjoys old literature, especially comedies...

(I will make another post about Heir! Reader facts, but dealing with IceWing culture)

(I wonder what their name could/should/would be?)

A poem by Matthew Olzmann

Letter to the Person Who Carved His Initials into the Oldest Living Longleaf Pine in North America

—Southern Pines, NC

Tell me what it’s like to live without curiosity, without awe. To sail on clear water, rolling your eyes at the kelp reefs swaying beneath you, ignoring the flicker of mermaid scales in the mist, looking at the world and feeling only boredom. To stand on the precipice of some wild valley, the eagles circling, a herd of caribou booming below, and to yawn with indifference. To discover something primordial and holy. To have the smell of the earth welcome you to everywhere. To take it all in, and then, to reach for your knife.

Matthew Olzmann

I've started making a little memory box from my PhD. It's not finished yet - I need to fasten things correctly and add in some structure - but so far it includes a postcard from the Inuit Studies Conference, a beautifully carved piece of caribou antler that I bought from an Igloolik artist, and a seal skull. . The seal material used in the experiments that were mentioned in Tuesday's poem all came from an animal that had died of natural causes. I had contacted the Pieterburen seal sanctuary to the north of Groningen to ask if they had any recently deceased seals, and received an affirmative. As they are a sanctuary, they receive a lot of sick or injured seals, and while many of them are able to be released back into the wild, there are unfortunately those who don't survive. I was therefore invited to attend the autopsy of two such individuals, and could then take whatever material I needed for my experiments. (I should say that this was only allowed because I had signed a scientific research declaration - they don't just allow anyone to come and get bits of dead seal...) . I therefore got the skins from two seals to use in my sewing experiments (the poem for that one will be shared next week) as well as the bones from one to use as the raw material for the different kinds of tools I needed for my PhD experiments. I did not need the skull for my experiments, but the vets very kindly let me take it, as they would have just thrown it out anyway, and so now it sits on my shelf as a memory to the creature without who I would not have been able to complete my PhD. . A bit of an odd post today, but I wanted to acknowledge that experimental archaeology is often a messy business. What's important is to approach the acquisition of raw materials from an ethical perspective, and respect the animals who donated them. . #ExperimentalArchaeology #ArchaeologyLife #ArchaeologyLovers #ArchaeologistsOfInstagram #archaeology #archaeologist #PhD #PhdLife #skull #ArcticArchaeology https://www.instagram.com/p/CqZsCghqhKo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[Killer instinct] Caribou [closed]

Thank you for your interest this lass has been purchased by Stitched Rabbit! Highest offer $95

Nick name: Carrie

Bio: Quirky cryptid loveing hermit, who lives alone in a secluded wildlife reserve, can be called eccentric, 100% believes in aliens and plans to date moth man one day, they are highly in yune with nature and after cam be found in the woods prefering the wilds over life in a small cabin.

Has a extremely low social tolerance and often becomes socially exhausted and distences self in such cases.

Will yodel at unsuspecting victims, getting lost in the woods is their favorite past time.. No not because they are lost and too proud to hand over the map they can't read.

They are the person who survives a horror moving and often look out for invisible rocks.

They are ruthlessly protective of their small circle and will not hesitate to pick a fight with someone they think stepped on the wrong person's toes.

Stunningly talented with an ax and by extension chainsaws, be weary she will try to fight wild life and has been sprayed by skunks on multiple occasions.

Brash, cocky, confident and outgoing within their circle, its only the rare times she breaks this character and you can hear her southern drawl.

Will get you into a horror movie scenario, luckily shell likely make sure the you two don't die first!

Romance: perpetually disinterested, or weary unless they are, in suchs cases they tend to be rather intense in their courting and possessive around those they like, attraction leans towards females but has shown interest in males.

Orientations: Bisexual/Poly

Likes: hunting myths, cryptids, horror pod casts, spooky stories, their crush moth man, yodling at unsuspecting people, writing poems and exploring the woods after sunset, cutting wood and patrolling trails afterdark.

Dislikes: classical music, tea, cooking, psychophants, myth busters, hunters, handing over the map, admitting their insecurities, heavy conversation, flattery.

AN: last adopt of 2022!

I lived this lass and she one me my first DD!

And the only female character whos boobs came out somewhat decent! >¬>

Haha shes been adopted off but i wanted to share her here as well because im proud damn it!

Axon Infodump about herself

DNI:

Mias World fans (you can look at my posts related to them, but please don't talk to me, Mias World is extremely triggering to me because of the fans)

If you're sensitive to topics such as suicide, self-harm, blood, and torture (these and many others will be a recurring theme)

Pro-Shippers (this INCLUDES shipping abusive or toxic ships, "fixing" abusive or toxic relationships, and/or aging up a character)

If you ship Lychael, Kyer, Bipper, or Bakudeku (The first two are probably my biggest triggers, the latter half are just plain don't)

DO interact:

People who like reading AUs or crossovers!

People who love offensive humour!

People who love sheep and bats!

People who like variant humans!

And most importantly, MADDY YES MADDY PLEASE FEED ME ATTENTION

A little about me…

I'm a young writer who has a passion for rewriting stories in their image and completely changing the plot of them into a contorted mess of comedic-psychological dramas, and especially urban fantasy.

I hate getting into conflicts, so please do not come to me with the intent of pulling you out of one. I will, however, comfort you on the flip side, just please ask first!

I am extremely passionate about the art of character writing and design; I adore customising characters as much as possible. I will edit parts about my lifestyle just to further adjust to my work, including but not limited to keeping a dream journal to remember concepts from my sleep, donning the American, UK, and Icelandic keyboards on my phone for immersive writing, writing ballads and poems for just about any occasion, and designing outfits and drinks based upon various fictional characters.

To clarify, I try to keep a healthy bond with my writing.

I do not let fiction overwhelm reality, and I take the required breaks needed. I understand these characters are not real, but allow myself to fall into their shoes in the form of roleplay and longing daydreaming. I am cautious about my passion, and keep my real life separate from another that belongs to another world, permanently divided from this one.

I also have a fascination with psychology, and the wonders of the human brain. Though I particularly am fond of the works of trauma and stress response, I also enjoy the science behind mind works and pattern-solving, as well as the limits of human intelligence and instinct.

I'm a big fan of aesthetics; sleepycore, icepunk, ocean grunge, and dark academia are a few that come to mind. I love exploring the highs and lows of childhood, as well as the depths of winter, the ocean, and the educative-sense of libraries.

My favourite palettes consist of muted colours, greys, blues, purples, browns, and lowly saturated greens. I also like pastel colours, consisting of lavender, periwinkle, olives, and baby blues.

I'm also obsessed with dreams, adoring the concept of an ethereal realm just beyond our minds that we glimpse into, every single night. I have a talent for vivid, coherent dreams, and recurring characters stationed in them every night.

My favourite animals consist of bats, sheep, African wild dogs, bearded dragons, caribou, leafy seadragons, takins, and cats of any kind. I love zoology, and have a lot of interesting animal facts at my disposal.

I was reading a post about literary analysis and it made me think of my FAVORITE moment in AP lit. So we're reading and analyzing this poem. The teacher is awful and chose favorites (well favorite girls... If you were male you would auto pass her class... Yeah) and in order to stay a favorite, you had to always put in your opinions and analysis.

So we're reading this poem. Well we actually read the poem as homework and had to come to class with opinions on it and it annotated.

But anyways we're talking about this poem and I'm spinning some bullshit to make sure I stay on her good side. Sometime I read online and wrote down, you know? I'm explaining some literary device in a paragraph when I just. Stop. This whole time reading the poem I was spinning on SOMETHING and in that moment I realized what it was.

"OH MY GOD he's Santa!" My voice rings out.

The class is understandably confused.

I explain that the narrator hears bells jingling, has deer/caribou (I forget which) pulling his SLEIGH and is describing the cold winter weather and the snow falling and talking about how he is waiting to give something. I felt triumphant, I had solved it!

The whole class bursts out laughing. The teacher confused, but laughing too. She's never had someone say that! The rest of class was spent viewing the poem through the lens of him being Santa, and the other students would note lines that backed up the line of thinking.

The teacher was later fired a few years after my graduation, not for sexualizes the boys in her classes. But because she played a video of a woman getting the "barbie" plastic surgery make over and implying that she was the standard to hold girls to and all the girls should aspire to be like her. Everyone knew she was icky with the boys, but there wasn't proof.

Anyways, all this to say it's okay if you don't understand the true intention of the hard to read literature. Because sometimes he can just be Santa, and the rest of the meaning doesn't matter.

Well, this is awkward. I don't even remember the last time I was logged into this account and none of these posts of mine have seen the light of the day (or night) for what I can assume 4 years? I'm currently working on a new project and the ABC Archives are currently on hold for the time being. I do hope to resurrect this project of mine someday seeing as it was very dear to me and a past version of myself. If anyone (literally anyone at all) would like to see everything I've actually been up to, here's my link tree: linktr.ee/kaitnath Here you'll find my website, Caribou Words, as well as my social media platforms where I'm relatively active on each of them. As of March 2024, I've sent in one of my many poems to the Mystic Owl, a literature magazine. I still haven't received any news from them but if they have accepted my work, you can find it on their website: https://mysticowlmag.com/ I've also been working hard on a new project titled "Hennesy & Apples" It's not all that similar to my past works since most of them were heavily science fiction, fantasy, horror, and etc. This will be (I hope) more of a heartwarming novel compared to the previous projects. I've intertwined my own personal grief over my paternal grandfather, Larry Henry, and my maternal grandmother, Judy Jack. It's been difficult these past few years but I'm ready to heal and to keep on going. I hope you'll join me on this journey and thank you for reading my silly words.

With Love,

Kaitlyn Cameron. <3

Anthology Poem: Tangled-Up in Rhymes by Mark Tulin

The poem was first published in The Poets Symphony (Edited by Tara Caribou). Featured photo copyrighted by Mark Tulin. Tangled Up in Rhymes Dylan came to call, singing a sardonic tune, playing a mouth harp, moaning sweet words that descended from a melancholy sky. I was ready for the man who launched a hundred marches that invoked a thousand verses of wisdom twisted and tangled up in…
