NEUTRALITY, BOREDOM become worse sins than murder, worse than illicit love affairs. BE RIGHT OR WRONG, don’t be indifferent, don’t be NOTHING. 

Sylvia Plath, to her Smith College students in 1958, quoted in ‘Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath’ by Heather Clark

Did you know?

On 10 August 1941, Sylvia Plath published her first poem, titled simply "Poem" on the "Good Sport" page of the Sunday Boston Herald. In the note to the editor, she described the poem as "a short poem about what I see and hear on hot summer nights":

Hear the crickets chirping In the dewy grass Bright little fireflies Twinkle as they pass.

One thing about sex. I hate comfortable rituals. I like all sorts of positions at a lot of odd times of day, & really feel terrific and made new from every cell when I am done. I actually wondered at one point if Ted was sick. Well, of course, how can one keep up that intensity & variety every day & night for over 6 years. A biological and psychological impossibility I would think. And I have my pride. I mean, I was not schooled with love for 2 years by my French lover for nothing. I have in me a good tart

But I must say, I get a terrific sensual pleasure in being light & slender & fucking as well...What I don't want to be is an unfucked wife. I get bitter then, & cross. And I feel wasted. And I don't just mean the token American what-is-it twice a week, front to front, "thank you darling' either.

Even as SP's work continues wrongly to be subjected to superficial analysis and as she is reductively labeled the Patron Saint of Sad Girls, let us praise Heather Clark for including these ^^^ journal passages and not letting us forget that Sylvia Plath fucked. Who else was doing it like her? I'll wait.

Also, SP's Platinum Summer was the blueprint for Hot Girl Summer. Megan Thee Stallion, who? Chet Hanks, who? Your faves are shaking rn and their wigs are snatched. Sorry bout it.

My Month in Books: January 2023

Red Comet: The Short and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath by Heather Clark Many would ask how it is possible to write a 1300 page biography about a woman who only lived for thirty years. Those people clearly don’t understand just how much incredible and ground-breaking writing Sylvia Plath managed to produce in such a tragically short period of time. Clark paints a vivid and human portrait of a…

I was asked about the characters from this little excerpt here, so!

Their names are Heather Clark and Raven May, and I initially came up with them for a short story I wrote last summer that I titled (super originally) Heather And Raven. Don't judge, I'm just bad at titles.

It was a summer rom-com of about 23,000 words and contrary to most of the things I write, this was just a cute, lighthearted story.

But back to the characters.

One one hand, we have protagonist Heather. She's an impulsive, well-meaning 17-year-old who's developed a crush on her best friend.

On the other hand, we have Raven. He ticks all the boxes for an appealing love interest, but he's not the one Heather is in love with -though he is part of her close circle of friends. And he, too, is hiding a secret crush.

When an unfortunate incident has their friends believing they're dating, howevern Heather and Raven decide to play along. After all, what's worst thing that can happen?

Yeah.

Famous last words.

Reading it back is always a blast because it never takes long, but it's still fun. And I might be working on another story about them. Might be.

Also might post this on here sometime. Should be fun :)

Her Romantic mind seized on violence as it did hurricanes and winter storms⁠—as a sublime force that brought her closer to an unveiling, an edge.

bones sexuality headcanons

yeah i dont have proof (except angela) i just Know. call it my lesbian spidey senses. disclaimer that those are MY headcanons, you can have your own opinions on those ofc

main characters:

brennan: bi (preference for ugly men... but i digress). she probably started exploring her sexual orientiation in college and came to the conclusion that she's attracted to every gender to varying degrees. she's probably tongue kissed angela a few times pre season 1

booth: cishet ally! ⭐️ he's a bit confused but he's got the spirit, i'll give him that.. bi wife energy start playing whenever he walks into the room

zack: gayboi with a bad case of hero worship for dr brennan. naomi from paleonthology made him realise this isnt really what he'd like to excavate, if you get the gist... ;) (ew)

angela: imo? bi, but it's up to anyone. canon queer and i'm very happy about it

hodgins: bi. putting my foot down on this one- to me, hodgela is bi4bi. one day early into the series angela goes "why is everyone so hot... being bi is so hard" and hodgins is like "yeah, tell me about it" and they have a Oh, You Too? moment

cam: distinguished (ex-disaster) pan. she's all cool and collected now but in middle school she was probably stuttering whenever she saw a pretty girl

sweets: pan. boykisser. i just KNOW. that man is not heterosexual. probably had a few boyfriends in high school too

aubrey: bi? preference for women but in an alternate universe he and sweets are a thing

goodman: token straightie along with booth except i actually like him even tho even tho he took a 2 month sabbatical and never came back

squinterns:

clark: bi. a bit repressed and only realised it after breaking up with nora but as long as he gets there it's fine

daisy: pan. absolute girlkisser. she has the wlw equivalent of whatever zack felt for dr brennan. swaisy is a disaster pan couple.

fisher: pan- and i wont have it any other way. he was 100% checking sweets out when he came over to b&b's in s8, so i like to think when hodgins asks sweets "what is it with you and interns?" in 9x23 he's including fisher

wendell: bi and in a lab au he's dating vincent thank you

vincent: english twink and i think he and wendell should kiss in the lab lost & found

arastoo: straightie but we still love him. pan wife energy since he and cam are married

finn: god, i have No Idea but i have a feeling he doesn't either

wells: aro, and maybe ace too, but fyi even if he wasn't no one would want him

jessica: ... i used to say lesbian but i kinda let the jaubrey of it all get to me... pan vibes perhaps? i'll have to think it over. in another universe she and daisy are a thing too btw

other characters:

caroline julian:... lesbian. no i will not give an explanation for this one. sham marriage and all.

karen delfs: big pansexual energy coming from this random profiler?? i like her

villains: (do not take those seriously, but also...)

pelant: unlabeled. getting strangled by hodgins awoke something in him but he didnt have the time to figure it out between 8x01 and 9x04

taffet: very VERY mean lesbian

epps: heterosexual incel

broadsky: internalised homophobia over booth, clearly

kovac: the man pretended to be married to his sister. i'm not sure i even wanna know

#am i serious about these? eh. but also kinda. #bonestv #bones tv #temperance brennan #seeley booth #angela montenegro #zack addy #jack hodgins #lance sweets #james aubrey #clark edison #daisy wick #colin fisher #wendell bray #oliver wells #daniel goodman #jessica warren #christopher pelant #howard epps #heather taffet #jacob broadsky #caroline julian #karen delfs #arastoo vaziri #vincent nigela murray #squinterns

A commission about JSAMN, the prompt was vague - something about the whole atmosphere, about books and ways of English magic. So here's Mr Childermass and the King's Roads on dianite. I didn't realise how much I missed this book and series.

HAPPY STS!

Which OC(S) are your favorite, and which OC(S) are your least favorite?

Happy STS!! Thanks for the ask <3

My all-time favourite OC's would be Reed Acerbi from Bad Moon Rising, and Heather Clark from Heather And Raven. They're very similar: both are chaotic goofballs, really smart but they forgot they are sometimes, and they're kinda sarcastic. Anwyay, I love them to bits!

My least favourite is hands down Ryan Peck, also from Bad Moon Rising. He literally just exists to be hated, to be honest, and I had fun killing him off :)
