::rolls up sleeves::
Alright, time for some Shire appreciation
Western Mass has:
The tallest mountain in Mass, Mt Greylock, which was the inspiration for Moby Dick (Melville’s home is in a nearby town and viewing a snow-covered Greylock gave him the idea for a white whale) as well as a poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes and a horror story by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The home of Norman Rockwell, now a museum, as well as dozens of locales (and people, although fewer as time goes by) featured in classic paintings of his
The homes of Edith Wharton, Emily Dickinson, and William Cullen Bryant, plus the Dr Seuss and Eric Carle Museums, Mass MoCA, and the Clarke Art Museum
The birthplace of basketball and basketball hall of fame as well as the locale of the first written evidence of baseball (sorry, Cooperstown fans, the Doubleday thing is a myth)
The hometowns of Penn Jillette, Misha Collins, Elizabeth Banks, plus the birthplace of Matthew Perry, and adopted hometown of James Taylor as well as numerous other celebs with seasonal homes in the area
A castle and a crapton of Gilded Era mansions
A Gilded Era theater that was hidden in the back of a paint store for half a century
Tanglewood
And, perhaps most importantly, the town with the highest number of lesbians per capita in the US (also, not coincidentally though less importantly, Smith College and a dozen or so other colleges that aren't UMass)

hi hiii i wanted to say that your account is so refreshing to see, esp with the passion you have for the arts. as someone who's been meaning to read (and write) more poetry, do you have any recommendations? some classics that everyone and their mothers know? perhaps some underrated pieces that changed you? or even just authors you like, I'm very open to suggestions :]]
Hi! Thank you so much for this kind ask :) So exciting that you’re looking to delve deeper into reading and writing! I had to take a little time to answer this because my thoughts were all over the place lol.
For a review of notable/classic poems/poets, I honestly just recommend looking at lists online or, hell, just binging Wikipedia pages for different countries’ poetry if that’s something you’re into, just to get a sense of the chronology. I read one of those little Oxford Very Short Introductions on American Poetry and thought it was pretty good, but online is quicker if you’re just searching for poets or movements to hone in on. Poetry Foundation also has lots of resources, in addition to all the poems in their database. I guess my one big classic recommendation would have to be Emily Dickinson (<3), but really the best move is just to find a poet you already enjoy and then look around to see who their peers were/are, who they were inspired by, who they’ve maybe translated here and there, etc. and follow it down the line as far as you can.
For some personal recs, here are some collections I’ve really enjoyed over the past two years or so. Bolded favorites, and linking where select poems from the book have been published online. But also, if you want a preview of a couple poems from another of the books to see if they interest you, DM me and I can send them over! You can also feel free to pilfer through my poetry tag for more stuff lol
Autobiography of Death by Kim Hyesoon trans. Don Mee Choi
Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings by Joy Harjo
DMZ Colony by Don Mee Choi
Hardly War by Don Mee Choi
Whereas by Layli Long Soldier
Geography III by Elizabeth Bishop
Dictee by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha
Don’t Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine
Mouth: Eats Color—Sagawa Chika Translations, Anti-Translations, & Originals by Sawako Nakayasu
The Selected Poems of Osip Mandelstam trans. W.S. Merwin and Clarence Brown
The Branch Will Not Break by James Wright
This Journey by James Wright
God’s Silence by Franz Wright
Duino Elegies by Rainer Maria Rilke (the translation I read was by Alfred Corn—I thought it was great, but idk if there are better ones out there!)
DMZ Colony, Hardly War, Dictee, Don’t Let Me Be Lonely, and partially Whereas are all book-length poems with some prose poetry and varying levels of weirdness/denseness/multilingualism—if you were to pick one to start with, I’d say do Don’t Let Me Be Lonely or Whereas. Mouth: Eats Color is some experimental translations of Japanese modernist poet Chika Sagawa, with other translations and some of Nakayasu’s original stuff mixed in—it's definitely a bit disorienting but ultimately I remember having such fun with it, as much fun as Nakayasu probably had making it. It’s a book that emphasizes co-creation and a spirit of play, and completely changed my attitude towards translation.
If you’re less interested in that kind of formal fuckery stuff though (I get it), can’t go wrong with the other books! Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings is the one I read most recently, and it’s great—Harjo also featured in Round 1! Franz Wright also featured, and God's Silence is the collection which "Night Walk" comes from. James Wright (father of Franz) is one of my favorite poets of all time, though his poetry isn’t perfect. Even so, I’m honestly surprised he’s not doing numbers on Tumblr—Mary Oliver was a big fan of his, even wrote her "Three Poems for James Wright" after his death.
I mentioned in another post that one of my favorite poets is Paul Celan, so I’ll also recommend him here. I read Memory Rose into Threshold Speech which is a translated collection of his earlier poems, but it’s quite long if you’re just getting to know him as a poet—fortunately, both Poetry Foundation and Poets.org have a ton of his poems in their collections. There’s also an article by Ilya Kaminsky about him titled “Of Strangeness That Wakes Us” (!!!!!) that’s a great place to start, and is honestly kind of my whole mission statement when I’m reading and writing poetry. Looking at the books I’ve recommended above, a lot of them share feelings of separateness or alienation—from others, from oneself, from one’s country, from language—that breed strange, private modes of expression. That tends to be what I’m drawn to personally, and that’s some of what Kaminsky talks about.
Sorry of the length of this—I hope it's useful as a jumping-off point! And if you or anyone ends up exploring any of these poets, let me know what you think! If folks wanna reply with recommendations themselves too that'd be great :)

“Anyone considering the whole of Ms. Swift’s artistry — the way that her brilliantly calculated celebrity mixes with her soul-baring art — can find discrepancies between the story that underpins her celebrity and the one captured by her songs. One such gap can be found in her “Lover” era. Others appear alongside “dropped hairpins,” or the covert ways someone can signal queer identity to those in the know while leaving others comfortable in their ignorance. Ms. Swift dropped hairpins before “Lover” and has continued to do so since.
Sometimes, Ms. Swift communicates through explicit sartorial choices — hair the colors of the bisexual pride flag or a recurring motif of rainbow dresses. She frequently depicts herself as trapped in glass closets or, well, in regular closets. She drops hairpins on tour as well, paying tribute to the Serpentine Dance of the lesbian artist Loie Fuller during the Reputation Tour or referencing “The Ladder,” one of the earliest lesbian publications in the United States, in her Eras Tour visuals.
Dropped hairpins also appear in Ms. Swift’s songwriting. Sometimes, the description of a muse — the subject of her song, or to whom she sings — seems to fit only a woman, as it does in “It’s Nice to Have a Friend,” “Maroon” or “Hits Different.” Sometimes she suggests a female muse through unfulfilled rhyme schemes, as she does in “The Very First Night,” when she sings “didn’t read the note on the Polaroid picture / they don’t know how much I miss you” (“her,” instead of that pesky little “you,” would rhyme). Her songwriting also noticeably alludes to poets whose muses the historical record incorrectly cast as men — Emily Dickinson chief among them — as if to suggest the same fate awaits her art. Stunningly, she even explicitly refers to dropping hairpins, not once, but twice, on two separate albums.
In isolation, a single dropped hairpin is perhaps meaningless or accidental, but considered together, they’re the unfurling of a ballerina bun after a long performance. Those dropped hairpins began to appear in Ms. Swift’s artistry long before queer identity was undeniably marketable to mainstream America. They suggest to queer people that she is one of us. They also suggest that her art may be far more complex than the eclipsing nature of her celebrity may allow, even now.
Since at least her “Lover” era, Ms. Swift has explicitly encouraged her fans to read into the coded messages (which she calls “Easter eggs”) she leaves in music videos, social media posts and interviews with traditional media outlets, but a majority of those fans largely ignore or discount the dropped hairpins that might hint at queer identity. For them, acknowledging even the possibility that Ms. Swift could be queer would irrevocably alter the way they connect with her celebrity, the true product they’re consuming.
There is such public devotion to the traditional narrative Ms. Swift embodies because American culture enshrines male power. In her sweeping essay, “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence,” the lesbian feminist poet Adrienne Rich identified the way that male power cramps, hinders or devalues women’s creativity. All of the sexist undertones with which Ms. Swift’s work can be discussed (often, even, by fans) flow from compulsory heterosexuality, or the way patriarchy draws power from the presumption that women naturally desire men. She must write about men she surely loves or be unbankable; she must marry and bear children or remain a child herself; she must look like, in her words, a “sexy baby” or be undesirable, “a monster on the hill.”
A woman who loves women is most certainly a monster to a society that prizes male power. She can fulfill none of the functions that a traditional culture imagines — wife, mother, maid, mistress, whore — so she has few places in the historical record. The Sapphic possibility of her work is ignored, censored or lost to time. If there is queerness earnestly implied in Ms. Swift’s work, then it’s no wonder that it, like that of so many other artists before her, is so often rendered invisible in the public imagination.”

hi! i'm super late to this!
AAAAH hey! my name's lys. i've been active in this fandom since march of 2023, but only ever as a content consumer-- reading fics and appreciating other forms of fan art!! although i absolutely love doing that, i've been feeling more inspired lately to start creating some content and wanting to connect more with other people, so consider this my formal introduction. :)
(talking about myself is the bane of my existence so i'm terribly sorry if reading this is painfully awkward, i feel it too)
a few things about me:
i'm 22, bi, and a writer in my free time. i just love the concept of storytelling through any form of art. i'm hoping this blog will showcase some of that!
i'll ship just about anything that people are passionate about but some of my personal favorite ships are sebastian/mc, sebinis, poppy/imelda, ominis/mc, imelda/mc, garreth/literally anyone i think he's a sweetheart
i have a ridiculous amount of WIPs sitting in my drafts so i'll be prioritizing a few and setting up a masterlist sometime in the near future (AAAHH)
aside from hogwarts legacy i also love harry potter, the hunger games, bg3, emily dickinson, detroit become human, and a myriad of other things that might pop up here and there
my tummy hurts and i can't take myself serious. thanks if you read this!!!
also i'll include some details about my beloved oc below the cut if anyone's interested :')

Davina Isabel Moroz - Ravenclaw - INFJ
likes: charms, potions, black coffee, poetry, the stray cats that roam the castle grounds, fresh ink on parchment, secret sleepovers with natty + poppy, studying in the restricted section with sebastian, foraging for potion ingredients with garreth, picnics
relationships: fairly canon friendships (seb, ominis, natty, poppy, garreth, leander, etc.) but she's definitely made matching bff bracelets with natty. had secret, very confusing, simultaneous crushes on both imelda and sebastian during her sixth and seventh year.
potential tw: mentions of parental neglect, estranged family dynamics
brief background: Davina is a muggle-born witch who was born to a conservative family. They viewed something like magic as unrealistic and dangerous. She was raised in this 'traditional' lifestyle, and forced to view life from a similar narrow lens, even if it never sat right with her. When she received her letter from Hogwarts her family denied her magic, and gave her an ultimatum-- pursue her powers, or her family. She begged them to reconsider, but they disowned her when she chose magic. She developed a close relationship with Professor Hecat, and alternated between staying with her, Sebastian, and Natty's family on breaks. She's highly studious, and excels at everything she tries, though that's all driven by the ambition to make her sacrifice worth it. She definitely still struggles internally; she has a hard time separating her self-worth from her accomplishments, is typically her worst critic, and has yet to fully process her feelings about her family’s decision. But after she graduates she goes on to advocate for issues she’s passionate about (eliminating wizarding prejudices, freeing elves, etc.), and pursues a full-time career as a Healer. She values her friendships dearly, and sees them as the only family she’ll ever need.
