Matty lied, which was probably a mistake since he was a shit liar on a good day, and today wasn’t a good day. He was much better at just, not saying anything, even though his therapist had told him that was really just lying by omission. He couldn’t meet Jamie’s eyes, and knew he was sweating nervously. He was hyper aware that he could feel the wand in his back pocket.

.

Just like in the bathroom after the show, two parallel lines stared back at him, confirming deep down what he already knew. The test was positive.

I haven’t been to the Boston Public Gardens since I was a junior in high school, in Boston to tour Boston College, and so I took my time walking all around it on such a beautiful day. One thing I really wanted to see was the statue that’s in honor of Robert McCloskey’s iconic children’s book Make Way for Ducklings, and I literally sat in a bench by said statue for a solid 15-20 minutes, scrolling Twitter, while I waited for parents to stop draping their infant children all over it for their Facebook/IG photos. 

(I should note that the kids who clearly read and loved the book freaking out about the statue were adorable and endearing; I just found the parents posing with their kids who don’t even know where their noses are a little odd, as they were clearly trying to angle to get the best possible photos.)

If nothing else, it’s a glorious place to visit in the height of the fall foliage in early November.

im seriously developing such a superiority complex over random film critics wo talk about dfk 2023. i’m starting to think i’m the only one who can accurately judge this movie

it is crucial for this discussion to understand that „Das fliegende Klassenzimmer“ (2023) was not a good movie. if you act like it was then you’re wrong

#i love it. i imprinted on it like a little baby duckling. i didn’t say it was good #das fliegende klassenzimmer #das fliegende klassenzimmer 2023 #dfk #that being said. #if you act like it was good then you’re plain wrong. #if you don’t like it at all then i respect that but we will not find common ground i fear. #i feel like it takes a deeper understanding to appreciate this movie for what it did have and what it could have been #while understanding that that was not realized in a good way at all #i should make a meme out of this hold on #mine

Maaan, I'm so bad at spotting nature metaphors, what's your favorite to include in your writing?

unhinged_prosody 🕺

Hi! 🕺

I'm putting this under a read more because I waffled on for a fair bit and it's not even about the base game 😭

So I'm including animals under nature because, well, they are nature - and I personify people as animals a lot in my writing (just in general, not even specific to this fic, i do it a lot about myself too, especially in my poetry)

Because we're all just animals! It can be degrading - depending on how it's done - but not all of the time.

I compare Harry to a dog a lot (nothing new there, there's a couple lines in game that reinforce this) but I think my favourite dog guy description came from one of the Kim chapters:

the captain's father; a man so old he should be retired, but sits at his desk chain-smoking. Something he's done for longer than you've been in the RCM. Maybe longer than you've been alive. As you penetrate the haze surrounding his desk his bloodshot eyes rise to meet your own. He reminds you somewhat of a saggy hunting dog, all lethargy and wrinkles.

Because i have no specific appearance in mind for the man (i.e. hair colour/ eyes/ whatever) as it's unimportant. S'more about vibes 👌

Gotta give a shout out to bird metaphors because they formed the theming of these fics in the first place! The peregrin falcon antique shop, references to ducks and geese across fics, the whole scene with the disabled duckling, the name of the case, "Imprinting", the series title "birds of a feather flock together", i just really fucking love birds.

Lmao anyway, you can tell that I REALLY like a metaphor if I turned it into a mind project (not nature related, but same with the "one man castle" thought project for Kim repressing his emotions)

So I'm dipping back into "Imprinting" because this one metaphor formed the basis of me writing over 250k about two fictional detectives last year...:

PROBLEM: You were a man drowning in the sea of vices. As you gave in to the waves and consigned yourself to your watery grave a gloved hand pulled you from the brine. *He* cradled your baby bird form in his palm and raised you from the ashes of the phoenix: Tequila Sunset. You have well and truly imprinted upon Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi.

SOLUTION: You were drowning and he gave you a reason to float. It's not so much that you imprinted on him, it's that you follow him by choice. You've shed your baby down-feathers and are more than able to walk on your own now, but do you want to?

BABY BIRD

IMPRINTING

DOWN FEATHERS

THE DEATH AND REBIRTH OF A PHOENIX

BOSH BOSH FUCKIN' BOSH 👌👌👌

But my ABSOLUTE favourite nature metaphor at the moment is the flowers metaphor for Kim's repression. Because when I was a teenager up until my mid 20s (going THROUGH it, not relevant) this was my outlook on love and human connection, too:

CONCEPTUALISATION [hard: success] - Don't plant flowers: they'll only wilt.

CONCEPTUALISATION [hard: success] - Love says 'These flowers were cut so you could buy them. They wilt - already - in your hand and that is *your* fault'.

I am now 27 and in the Springtime of my life, this man's 44 and approaching his own no matter how badly he's trying to beat it off with a stick. When I was in my early 20s, I was fairly convinced I would die wholly unloved (even in the beginning of the relationship I am still in!) Not the case! Healing is possible and I truely believe - or rather I know now - that there is no age cutoff.

This metaphor isn't finished yet, but it represents catharsis 🌱

#Thank you!!!!!! #THIS GOT SO LONG SORRY!! #Anyway yes i really like talking about the writing itself if you're ever curious about Themes and Motifs then hmu #Or keeping sending me weird shit it does make me laugh #Jean anon i've been thinking about you all weekend 😭 #DUCKLINGS THAT DROWN #IMPRINTING #Hey thanks for the ask by the way #typing this all out just snapped me out of writer's block!
