Im aroace, but i crave another persons body heat next to me when i lay down in bed.
Im aroace, but i want someone i trust so much that we can have whole-body skin to skin contact without fearing that we will be harmed or advanced upon.
Im aroace, but i dont want to live in a house with just myself.
Im aroace, but i want to wake up to somebody i care for immensely every day.
Im aroace, but i want to bring another person along with me through this adventure called life.
Im aroace, but i want to feel loved and cared for and love and care for them in return.
Im aroace, but i want this all without romance; just closeness.
Im aroace, but i want a life partner that i trust above anyone else.
Im aroace, but i want to love with all of my heart. Just not the way others think i should.
Im aroace, but i have so much love to give.

when my mom was a teenager, she used to listen to cyndi lauper's time after time with her sister. she played it for my dad on their first date, put the CD in his shitty car and sang along. she accidentally left it there, but she bought a new one so he could keep it. years after their divorce, my mom sings time after time as a lullaby to help me sleep. i still hear it in her voice easier than i can remember the actual recording. and when my relationship with her was at its worst, my dad played the CD she gave him all those years ago on his little stereo. sometimes people stop loving each other. but i don't think the love ever really leaves.

Really into the whole dog metaphor with love. Loyalty of a dog, willingness to please, but also dangerous and can bite. The guilt they have on their when you scold them.

What are your favourite poetry prescriptions? 👀
this is such a fun question, thank you, i love it. i don't think a lot of these will be poems you've not encountered before, but maybe it's useful to have them on hand in case disaster strikes? here are some poems to read when...
you hate your job
you need to get the job done
things and people are too loud and much and close
the world is about to end
you're feeling bitter
you're feeling weltschmerz
you miss your friends
you need to make peace with inhabiting a physical form
you're leaving
you're homesick
you need to hold on a bit longer
you miss your mum

NaPoWriMo #5: A poem inspired by a specific public-domain nature book
In this case, the section about the infinite variety of microorganisms.
Song of the Microorganisms
Praise the Lord, all you single-celled creatures! You bacteria and algae You diatoms and fungi Praise Him who brings you sun and sugars to feast upon Who makes waters and thermal vents for your homes He whose majesty is infinite Crafts and cares for creatures infinitely small Ever-generating life, the unseen throng Praise Him in endless, invisible song

"Not I," I said, "I love you."
Yet when blood was on your face I knew you not.
"Would you follow me, my child? Even in the dark?"
But when the light blew dim I fled.
You told me of the future, and of a joy to come 
You loved me and you taught me
"I know your heart, my child."
When you were weak and weary where was I to comfort?
When you cried out for the Father I hid my face.
I saw you. I saw your eyes and anguish.
O how it pierced me. How could I abandon you?
"Not I," I said, "I love you." But how could it be true?
I turned and left my lover.
Weak and twisted is the heart that claimed to live for you
How can it be, how can I live? I wish to love you.
Yet it is a dead heart that saw your face among the crowd.
A light flew across the distance. On the wings of your suffering.
O how it pierced me. My eyes have opened.
I don't deserve to be here, to sing and see the dawn
Lord let me live and love you
How I was meant to all along

"The flesh rots, the mechanical rusts, the divine corrupts" yes but have you considered becoming one with the rot. Have you thought about what it would be like to kiss death on the lips and taste the all knowing. Have you thought about what it would be like to become one with everything, and the peace that comes with understanding that? What then loser

Can we talk about The Dying Swan moment in Coda? As someone who was once a very serious ballerina, I need to talk about the Dying Swan. Here's your context --
CHAKOTAY: Harry's clarinet solo was okay. I could have done without Tuvok's reading of Vulcan poetry. But the highlight of the evening was definitely Kathryn Janeway portraying the Dying Swan. JANEWAY: I learned that dance when I was six years old. I assure you, it was the hit of the Beginning Ballet class.
Have you seen The Dying Swan? It is dramatic.
Here, take a minute:
youtube
First of all, this dance is much too advanced for a six-year-old, even if they’re doing it in demi pointe. (Six-year-olds emphatically should not be in pointe shoes btw.) The dance is almost entirely bourees and arm movements done to very subtle musical cues, not the foundational ballet moves typically taught in Beginning Ballet.
This is a very vulnerable, dramatic dance that is effective because of its subtleties. The performer would need to embody that vulnerability in some way for a convincing performance. It's short, but it's a solo piece -- all eyes on you. I mean, it was choreographed for a prima ballerina, BUT THAT'S NOT MY POINT
Can you imagine our unflappable Captain Janeway willingly getting in front of her crew to do this ballet? I get that it’s thematically relevant to the plot of Coda, but since Janeway is only vulnerable in front of her crew when it means putting herself in harm’s way, it seems like a wild decision. She tends to hold herself apart from her crew, maintaining the professional distance of the captain. Further, when she does any creative pursuit, it is almost always in private, since her sister was the artist in the family and she was the scientist. As a captain, she commands Voyager in a much different way than she would as a dancer with this piece. I'm not saying she never shows vulnerability because she definitely does, but not necessarily in this way. Then when she talks about it with Chakotay, she just casually brushes it off with a laugh like no big deal.
There’s also the question of costume – would she have gone full tutu? Done it in her Starfleet uniform? An impeccable yet flow-y white suit? She does get into costume and command a performance in Bride of Chaotica!, but Coda is still kind of early days for our captain. Arachnia aligns more with what we know about Janeway's character.
Granted, it is Chakotay laying down these complements about her dancing ability and he is clearly biased. To be fair, Neelix does too before they leave in the shuttle. If she did this dance and performed it poorly or amazingly, I feel like the crew would look at her a bit differently afterwards.
Canonically she did The Dying Swan, but I certainly have trouble picturing it happening.

Concept: It's 8pm and you both start dancing in the kitchen while baking cupcakes. The sound of rain bouncing off the window is so loud yet so soft. The music playing in the background is so calming. You put a little bit flour on them and then you both start laughing.
