[ramayantika]

Transient aren't his affections towards me,

Of all, he is the faithful lover, my friend. Must I deceive his love by harbouring mistrust in my heart?

His heart is devoted to mine and so equally is mine to his.

Wash away your concerns, sakhi, my lover is all true to me in every way.

I have been made truly happy. No pretense he hides under his actions nor does he play with words to win my heart. Must you worry now?

A moment away from him feels like an eternity away from him. As I sit here, I am reminded of his tender touches when he soothes me during upsetting nights.

I blush under his playful gaze when he twirls the ends of my scarf. There is joy with him and around him. I no longer think what will people say when I laugh unbashedly with him in public.

Often I wonder when have I ever been this happy before. My dearest companion, abandon your doubts away, I have found a worthy partner.

I have back to back 3 tests in this weekend with Monday so all the best to me. I hope you enjoy this

Also the same nayika is called swadhinapatika nayika lekin meko chull thi yeh thoda difficult naam use krne ki toh try pronouncing it. Good luck!

And the gifs are from Savitha Sastry's Chains, a live production bharatanatyam drama.

Shit I forgot what this nayika means for non dancers. So this nayika (even though it is mentioned in the header) this nayika has a lover who is completely faithful to her. There are examples of padams or in simple words if you pick out ancient Indian poetry you will see examples of poems where the female is talking about her lover to a friend saying how he makes her happy and praises his good qualities similar to what even happens now just that we dance and show it

#art is truly the epitome of the human soul in my opinion #what a beautiful way to connect to one another #do you think van gogh knew that mothers and children would see themselves in his painting all these years later? #theres a specific low quality image probably from the 2000s of a little girl posing in front of a painting in a museum #and i REALLY wanted to include it i love the pure joy in that image but i cant find it for the life of me #if anyone is reading this and can find the image PLEASE HELP.

fairest of the fair

#hi! im alive and back and etc. #six the musical #six the musical fanart #katherine howard #thinking of that post going 'i think eventually you become the person you needed most' and like maybe that's the thing with my art #this started out as a redraw and <improvement meme> i think i've finally reached the stage where i'm making the things that my younger self #aspired to create. like i can do this now! i've reached That level of technical skill! tiny me would be so proud. it's very gratifying #redraw from august this year actually. i've made a surprising amount of improvement HAHA maybe it was the adamandi stuff getting me #back into digital rendering. i think that obsession has quietly slipped away but yknow. one never truly leaves a fandom. just less intensit #also speaking of old fandoms! we're back with the six stuff haha. as of writing i'm in the midst of blog revamp- figuring out how to chill #multifandom status doesn't mean ditch all the old stuff ! but i do feel much freer and less stressed. i think hiatus has been good for me #notes on this piece particularly: redraw about cutting hair and thinking of the lyric above. also lowkey &j ref + pinterest poem excerpts #of female suffering. and maybe a dash of amanda heng let's walk inspo. this work is really just full of contradictions.. #1. the mirror and cutting hair as an act of self liberation 2. the & is part of the lyric but also a nod to &j (in another iteration it was #pink but the white looked better) and like. &j is really all !!! girl power!!! etc. and i was like hmmmm. also matching pink shiny aes #3. the frame as a cage; the mirror as a self reflection idea (ie. saville's propped insp) but also as a sign of vanity. 4. sparkly costume #and pretty pose- read one too many poems about women feeling like they have to be pretty even in their suffering. something i wanted to #explore. and also in 5. the show itself... all you wanna do is. despite all the dancing and pink and sparkly the content of the song is #darker. and even though it's a story of her suffering it's still presented as a shiny fun pop song and ajshdhfhfh ok... 6. the lyrics fall #outside the frame. sort of a caught inbetween. sort of a trapped in the narrative and yet #within the frame it's all. vaguely handwavy breaking free vibes. like i said contradictions? #7. cutting off the long ponytail vs the pull my hair lyric at the end. yeah #8. the blocked off & looks a bit like scissors. positioned to cut right at the neck #anyways yeah irl remains hectic! but if i get around to more doodles they'll appear here :)

Dancing In Silence

You In my arms

Moving... together

Dancing

Like we are one

Your breath  ...

Upon my neck

-

Swaying ,,,, twirling

To a beat

To the music

That no one else

Can hear

~Dark Stranger

When your rain cloud roll in, I won’t run for cover. I’ll dance with you in the rain until your rainbow appears.

“i love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. i love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lies darkly in my body. i love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.”

— pablo neruda (xvii)

i want

sometimes, you just want something so hard you have to lie about it, so you can hold it in your mouth for a minute

most days i want to live

to experience

how real hunger has a real taste

most days the garden‘s almost enough.

your vulnerability

little pink flowers

on the sage, even though

the man said we couldnt‘t eat it. not this kind.

and i said,

then, gosh, what‘s the point?

not all days. but most days i do

but

i don‘t want

to be vulnerable

in a field i am the absence of field.

this is always the case.

wherever i am

i am what is missing

do you love me enough that i may be

vulnerability is courage in you and inadequacy in me

weak

with you? do you love me

i‘m drawn

stripped of everything

to your vulnerability but

that might be lost, for only

the things i will

have

repelled by mine

for ever?

Charles Baudelaire - The Dance of Death ~ The Flowers of Evil

So I've been seeing some other kaylors discussing this book "For now, she slumbers" and I was skeptical that Taylor could’ve written it until someone was kind enough to send me screenshots of all the poems in this book and now I’m convinced it’s her. All the poems match up perfectly w the anon messages we’ve been getting and some sentences and phrases are verbatim what the anon messages said. I just made a post abt how the stuffed monkey along w the eras tour circus imagery likely connects to this poem. “Dance monkey dance.” I think the stuffed monkey might be specifically for this korner of the internet that’s been keeping up w all the anon messages and truly see her and see the whole story. I think it might be a signal to us that we’re not crazy and are on the right track

why am i getting all the uninteresting blazes from people who think their insta / tiktok success will be replicable here. you are on the mentally ill ageing blogger website held up by weird trans furries like the sky above atlas. you can't be an influencer on here the website collectively owns $4

#im getting so many basic bitch tweets and dancing videos #and all the replies r just 'this is not the website you think it is' #thank you for paying to support the website but it does not have the clout you seem to be seeking #dibi #my favourite blaze so far was the worst poem ive ever fucking read #and op deactivated within 24 hours. #absolutely ruthless

I know it's early but I need lesbian huskerdust content.

Clarification I'm a baby dyke not some weird fetishy dude. Also I love the guys as they are I just am excited by the realization that they would make a cute butch/femme couple

Just idk something about imagining husk as a handsome woman makes me very flustered.

#I need to get better at art quick. #I used lesbian as shorthand for wlw here Husk would still 100% be pan #we dont invalidate bi and pan individuals in this household #I thought of this listening to a poem by Ivan coyote about the beauty of femmes and it made something in my brain go #this is the way husk loves Angel. My brain then went old timey butch/femme couple dancing to Loser baby and I started crying again #because i was already crying my heart out because the poem made me reflect on why ive been in the closet so long and #avoiding poetry on purpose as a way to keep myself from analyzing my own emotions around my sexuality and gender #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #husker x angel dust #huskerdust
