This was supposed to be a French poetry poll. I'll make one, I promise, but I was distracted by the ladies (I think I'll make at least a Amy Lowell's poll and a Renee Vivien one too later, also under my 'sapphic poetry' tag)
They may not be the ones you would have picked yourself, they're some personal favorites.
Feel free to share yours, though !
Anne Hathaway
XVI (Twenty-one love poems)
Fireworks
One Art
Lighthouse Keeping
The Love of Judas
Wild Geese
For the Goddess Too Well Known
Blest as the Immortal Gods

An NB fan asked if we could do a hair switch between NB and DS LIs. Cal and Ed were done a few months back. You may have to scroll down a while on this blog to find it, since the original art file was deleted and can’t be re-uploaded.

The sun rises over a grand arena, where 32 ships prepare to use the power of love, incredible violence and whatever else they may have to battle for the right to be named the ultimate battle couple
The Bracket (UPDATED!)
Tumblr media
(Thanks to feedback, I swapped out Narumitsu with Catradora from SPOP)
Surprisingly few ships got more than one submission, so who got in was mostly based on how excited the submitter felt. If you believe a ship doesn’t count or if I messed up a ship name or whatever, send in an ask! Also if you have a better picture for any of them (but I don’t want to use fanart without the artists’s permission)

Percy Jackson & Annabeth Chase (Percy Jackson) VS Nicolò “Nicky” di Genova & Yusuf “Joe” al-Kaysani (The Old Guard)

Say Anything Interview: Intentional Is My Default
Tumblr media
Photo by Nicole Mago
BY JORDAN MAINZER
I'm waiting back stage at Riot Fest for Say Anything's Max Bemis to finish a photoshoot, one that sees him lie in the grass in various positions that make it look like he's stretching after a tough workout. Despite the fact that he hasn't yet gotten his real workout in yet--his newly reformed band would go on stage in a few hours--and that this photoshoot is full of capital-p Poses, I'm taken by how at ease Bemis seems with everything. When we speak, he reveals to me that, yes, while he did in fact feel awkward during the photoshoot--most of us do--he's learning to lean into his feelings much more naturally.
Five years ago, the legendary emo band disbanded, with their 2019 album Oliver Appropriate billed as their final LP for the moment. A purported sequel to their beloved sophomore record ...Is A Real Boy, the album was publicized in conjunction with a nine-page letter from Bemis, in which came out as bisexual and admitted to struggles with drug use. (The frontman has long been open about his diagnosed bipolar disorder, previous self-medication through drugs, and manic episodes.) During the pandemic, Bemis stayed busy, performing livestreams of older material, but there was always lingering doubt the band's hiatus would become permanent.
It wasn't until late last year that Bemis dropped that the band would be reuniting for festivals in 2023. In typical nonchalant fashion, he shared that the reunion would include past members drummer Coby Linder and bassist Alex Kent by replying to someone's comment on a Facebook post. In April, the band released their first new material since Oliver Appropriate, the maximally stream-of-consciousness rant "Psyche!". The song sees Bemis laying out those same struggles for everyone to bear witness to, blaming himself for his personal, marital, and familial problems atop a bevy of references to the band's older material, Titanic, and Riot Fest itself. "By Riot Fest '24, I'll be coughing up corks if you supply the Malörk," he sings, a line that's instantly iconic and bound to be infamous for its satiric misspelling of Chicago's shot of choice. In August, the band followed it up with "Are You (In) There?", which also establishes itself within our emo universe, with mentions of Sunny Day Real Estate and mewithoutYou, but a more personal ode to Bemis' wife and the love they have for each other despite his past actions and shortcomings. And just this morning, Say Anything annouced ...Is Committed (Dine Alone), their new record, along with a single entitled "Carrie & Lowell & Cody (Pendent)", Bemis placing his "mommy issues" in conversation with those of indie folk luminary Sufjan Stevens. The song is musically heavier and more complex and full-throated, while also containing gorgeous choral harmonies from Bemis' wife, Sherri Dupree-Bemis.
At one point, the future of the band was a mystery to everyone, Bemis included. But with some newfound perspectives, the musical and personal influence of new band member Brian Warren of Weatherbox, and therapy, it seemed from just the short conversation I had with Bemis and Kent that they're in a good place, ready to embrace their new chapter. Read my interview below, conducted last month before I knew about their new album, edited for length and clarity. Catch the band three nights next week at The Regent Theater in LA and at When We Were Young in Las Vegas next weekend.

Since I Left You: How does it feel to be back?
Max Bemis: It feels great. I don't think I would have decided to write the songs again if I didn't aspire to how this feels now, which is very different than our experience as little kids being in a punk band, which was very intense and an experience I wouldn't trade for anything. But this is comfortable, and it feels like having the best job ever, in the words of Piebald. It could have been a stress fest, anxious, or bad, but the only reason I wanted to write again was to reach for this thing that we never got to settle into, being dads approaching 40. The bands we looked up to were doing it at that age and still making inventive music but still seeming to chill and not base their entire personas and aspirations around being in a band. I think I appreciate it more now that I'm not trying to be "a guy in a band" as hard as I was.
Alex Kent: Something we've been talking about since getting back up and running was the transition from utilizing it as an escape versus a form of healing. Because we've been through so much traumatic shit in our lives, most of the time Max and I talk, we talk about therapy. It's fucking weird going from 18 years old on a tour bus to having that self-awareness and reflection.
MB: I didn't need it like that for many years because our entire life cycle was keyed in to being on tour. I wasn't living a normal person life. I'm not saying I ever have really or ever will--I wrote comic books for five years. That's still weird. We're still weirdo guys. Having a family, coming out of that kind of circus, I feel more like my 14-year-old self who needed this music for that reason.
SILY: The new songs have a self-aware quality.
MB: More than ever.
SILY: How do you include the self-awareness in a set at a festival or concert, where you're literally referring to other songs you're playing in the setlist?
MB: We refer to Riot Fest itself!
SILY: And Malörk [sic]
MB: And Malörk. It's incredibly self-referential and ironic, but because the band started that way, it's come full circle and is no longer ironic at the same time. There's still a lot of exaggeration and bullshit, but it's closer to me saying actual things that are happening. As you age, everyone's life becomes a circus, more surreal. The world has been very surreal, with COVID and Trump. You kind of have to say your inner experience now. It's an emotional, crazy, surreal thing anyway. It's not like before, when I said, "I have to think about my ex-girlfriend, but I'm thinking about my wife, and what the fuck is this about?" Now, this is about being at Riot Fest. And I am at Riot Fest.
SILY: There is a song about your wife, though.
MB: Yes. Also quite literal. So many emotions are certainly exaggerated, but the sincerity isn't. The love for my wife is very real. But even there, if you're in any successful relationship, it goes through the most intense rebirths and reformations, and you're adjusting to each other, especially after having kids. It's more potent to me to say what's happening or what my emotions are than do what we did on In Defense of the Genre, where I was literally forcing drama into my life on a regular basis. Now, I have no room. I'm tired. I have children to look after. The drama just happens from kids, life, everything. It's real and heartfelt, but a seasoned emotion and not so adolescent. I still love those songs, and I relate to them, but they all speak to a certain side of me I can't live out anymore.
SILY: Do the new songs more than ever exemplify the idea that the more personal you are, the more universal the songs can be?
MB: Yeah. But probably by being a little too hyper-specific. That's why I fell in love with this kind of music. Saves The Day got me into wanting to be in a band. What wowed me was when he was talking about the names of the other band members in song, like, "Ted's drooling on his sleeve." He's just saying he's in this New Jersey bar and he misses his girlfriend. He's not cloaking anything. Our thing has been a kind of parody of that, but now I don't have to stretch anything for it to be a parody.

SILY: What do you think Brian Warren brings to the table on the new songs?
AK: I've known Brian since we were 9 years old. Our very first band, we were in together.
MB: I wouldn't know about Weatherbox if it wasn't for Alex.
AK: He brings this calming energy. Humble is a weird word to describe him.
MB: It's accurate.
AK: Weatherbox is fucking amazing.
MB: He has more impostor syndrome than even me.
AK: He can play everything, and he writes cool shit.
MB: He's a virtuoso. The cool thing about Brian is that there's always been a connection between our bands. It's similar to me playing music with [Chris] Conley [in Two Tongues] back in the day. It's surreal, but it makes so much sense that you don't have to think about where he fits into the sonic picture or personality picture because we're friends.
AK: It's very cool how much sense it makes.
SILY: Has your relationship changed to your old songs?
MB: I like them more. Over the break from the band, I would listen to Say Anything, with my kids or in my car, alone. The way I severed it was so intentional. I wasn't saying, "The band was over." I was saying, "We're probably going to get back together, but I have to sever this incarnation." I was listening to [old Say Anything songs] and thinking, "I like Alex's bass part. I like the production. I even like my voice." It was like listening to another band, because of the space. I've grown to like them. I definitely know people in bands that are not what they listen to, but Say Anything has always been a conglomeration of the type of thing we listen to. If I'm going to listen to The Get Up Kids, I might as well listen to Say Anything.
SILY: Moving forward, are you trying to continue to be more intentional, or do what feels best?
MB: Both. I know that's cliché to say, and it does and doesn't make sense. I find that intentional is my default, and before, I would second-guess myself constantly. Now, I allow myself to make mistakes, and I let other people give me advice that before were such cerebral trips. There was a lot that weighed on me. If the lyrics are super intentional and literal, I'm just going to do it. If I feel awkward in a photo shoot like right now, I'm just going to be awkward in the photo shoot. That is, of course, my safe and happy place in life.

Lesbian Love Poems for Valentine’s Day Reading
Throughout literary history we have seen more queer people than we can ever count who were writing sweet nothings to their partners in private and in public. As your resident lesbian literary researcher I present four selected poems and the people who wrote them to show you some vintage queer love.
Tumblr media
“The Touch” by Renee Vivien (picture left) likely to Natalie Clifford Barney (picture right) but honestly could have been anyone Vivien had many lovers
The trees have kept come lingering sun in their branches, Veiled like a woman, evoking another time, The twilight passes, weeping. My fingers climb, Trembling, provocative, the line of your haunches. My ingenious fingers wait when they have found The petal flesh beneath the robe they part. How curious, complex, the touch, the subtle art- As the dream of fragrance, the miracle of sound. I follow slowly the graceful contours of your hips, The curves of your shoulders, your neck, your upappeased breasts, In your white voluptuousness my desire rests, Swooning, refusing itself the kisses of your lips.
Tumblr media
“To Vernon Lee” by Amy Levy (left) written to Vernon Lee (right)
On Bellosguardo, when the year was young, We wandered, seeking for the daffodil And dark anemone, whose purples fill The peasant’s plot, between the corn-shoots sprung. Over the grey, low wall the olive flung Her deeper greyness; far off, hill on hill Sloped to the sky, which, pearly-pale and still, Above the large luminous landscape hung. A snowy blackthorn flowered beyond my reach; You broke a branch and gave it to me there; I found for you a scarlet blossom rare. Thereby ran on of Art and Life our speech; And of the gifts the gods had given to each- Hope unto you, and unto me Despair.
Tumblr media
“The Weather-Cock Points South” by Amy Lowell (right) to Ada Dwyer Russell (left)
I put your leaves aside, One by one: The stiff, broad outer leaves; The smaller ones, Pleasant to touch, veined with purple; The glazed inner leaves. One by one I parted you from your leaves, Until you stood like a white flower Swaying slightly in the evening wind. White flower, Flower of wax, of jade, of unstreaked agate; Flower with surfaces of ice, With shadows faintly crimson. Where in all the garden is there such a flower? The stars crowd through the lilac leaves To look at you. The low moon brightens you with silver. The bud is more than the calyx. There is nothing to equal a white bud, Of no colour, and of all, Burnished by moonlight, Thrust upon a softly-swinging wind.
Tumblr media
“A Girl” by Michael Field the pseudonym of Katherine Harris Bradley (left) and Edith Cooper (right) likely written in collaboration and for each other.
A Girl,     Her soul a deep-wave pearl Dim, lucent of all lovely mysteries;     A face flowered for heart's ease,     A brow's grace soft as seas     Seen through faint forest-trees:     A mouth, the lips apart, Like aspen-leaflets trembling in the breeze     From her tempestuous heart.     Such: and our souls so knit,     I leave a page half-writ —           The work begun Will be to heaven's conception done,           If she come to it.

"Hace un mes me encontraba bien de salud, incluso francamente bien. A mis 81 años, seguía nadando un kilómetro y medio cada día. Pero mi suerte tenía un límite: poco después me enteré de que tengo metástasis múltiples en el hígado."
"De modo que debo decidir cómo vivir los meses que me quedan. Tengo que vivirlos de la manera más rica, intensa y productiva que pueda."
"En los últimos días he podido ver mi vida igual que si la observara desde una gran altura, como una especie de paisaje, y con una percepción cada vez más profunda de la relación entre todas sus partes." "De pronto me siento centrado y clarividente. No tengo tiempo para nada que sea superfluo."
"Mi generación está ya de salida, y cada fallecimiento lo he sentido como un desprendimiento, un desgarro de parte de mí mismo. Cuando hayamos desaparecido no habrá nadie como nosotros, pero, por supuesto, nunca hay nadie igual a otros. Cuando una persona muere, es imposible reemplazarla. Deja un agujero que no se puede llenar, porque el destino de cada ser humano —el destino genético y neural— es ser un individuo único, trazar su propio camino, vivir su propia vida, morir su propia muerte.
No puedo fingir que no tengo miedo. Pero el sentimiento que predomina en mí es la gratitud. He amado y he sido amado; he recibido mucho y he dado algo a cambio; he leído, y viajado, y pensado, y escrito. He tenido relación con el mundo, la especial relación de los escritores y los lectores.
Y, sobre todo, he sido un ser sensible, un animal pensante en este hermoso planeta, y eso, por sí solo, ha sido un enorme privilegio y una aventura."
Oliver Sacks, catedrático de Neurología en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Nueva York, es autor de numerosos libros, entre ellos Despertares y El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero.

I don’t wanna be annoying or anything but oh my god I’m already so excited about the Hunting Dog spinoff!!! Enthralled hunters are like one of my most favorite tropes (I have so many hunter thrall wips I’m still trying to get to) and I already wholeheartedly adore your writing so I can’t wait to see where this goes!! Very excited to see what happens to Lowell and how he is as a thrall :3
This is not the least bit annoying, this makes me so happy that you're excited for the story! I also love the concept of enthralled hunters. He's going to be stuck in the auction house like Oliver was, but have a very different experience due to knowing so much more about vampires, his vastly different personality, and how he will be treated...
Plus, the vampire who buys him will be very different from Alexander.
