We’re alike; I don’t say it.

Her skin is getting softer.
Your voice is getting lower.
Sex is an exploration of change.
Sex is an admiration of transformation.
She's getting colder.
You're getting warmer.
There is an intimacy in going to doctors appointments together.
There is an intimacy in discovering each others new laughs.
She reminds you about your meds.
You pick hers up from the pharmacy for her.
There is a depth of comfort here that was previously alien to you. You walk two different roads, but you are holding hands. Cheering the other on.
You admire her ability to find comfort and stability within what was previously your jail cell.
She admires your ability to find peace and rebirth within the ropes she was bound by.
You're redoing your childhoods together. Living them correctly.
You're rebuilding your wardrobes together, one guiding the other through brand new sizing systems.
You've both found a home in the fields of each others eyes and souls.
Go ahead, build a home together.

Odypen definitely and equivalently adore each other BUT I weirdly can't see them as the type to actually say "I Love you".
They still definitely vocalize their love for each other but it's more so in "My Joy", and "Extraordinary Woman", "Strange Woman/Man", etc. And very cheesy lines (both say some cheesy shit in the Odyssey, and he definitely does in the Iliad as well. "Joy like a drowning sailor seeing land" bit???)
I could see "I adore you" but even then, that's probably during very specific moments but the actual "I love you"??? I just typed it just now for fic shit and... It weirdly just didn't feel right and I don't know why. 😅
Idk maybe it's kind of because I see them as over the top in ways, they love wordplay and riddles and I think they'd almost think "...That's not good enough >:( " about it??? I don't know???😂

The Twenty-First Night
A bit of 1001 Nights-inspired poetry that I wish was in The Art of the Night to make it more than just a spicy yoga manual or a spellbook. This is part of the longer scene I wrote, but I wanted to share it separately too, because I've been inspired by other BG3 poets. I'm not really a poet, but I did my best <3
~*~*~
That night, the king met his beloved once more in their chambers.
"Dearest one," said he,
"Gold I have given thee,
and jewels from my store;
chains for thy neck
and bands for thy wrists;
and still, thine eyes shine more brilliantly
than any treasure in my kingdom.
"What gem in all the realms
can be more precious than thy gaze?
What more can I give to you,
my beloved, so that you may know
the ardent depths of my heart?
What more, when thine eyes alone
make all riches seem as dull iron?"
"Tender-hearted king," said the queen,
"I need neither gold nor gems;
my love is not so cheaply bought
nor so willingly sold.
And yet, already thou possess
that which I long for most.
Thy steady gaze, my love,
and thy faithful hand are all I ask.
"Come, take my hand,
and look beyond this simple visage.
I will bare my soul to thee, this night,
and gaze boldly at thine.
For more than bone and blood are we,
but spirits merely housed in flesh.’"

i wrote a 500 word dynamic poem for neo-twiny jam :-)
i rewrote this in a few different ways with a handful of different drafts before settling on just doing a poem; this originally came from a full branching narrative i've had stewing for a while, and i might come back to it one day. but for now i enjoyed channeling that into this poem, which has also been very influenced by the fact that i've been writing hungry vampires for almost 2 months now.... it was also my first time messing with audio in twine, which ended up being way easier than i expected (i'm sure it helped that i only used one audio sample tho)
faith does contain sexual content, and while not super explicit, it is the main theme of the poem.
anyways hope you enjoy and check out the other entries here!

So I watched dead poets society and I absolutely love it, it's one of my hyperfixtations atm and may even become a special interest (I adore it) and one night I was speaking with my friend about a headcanon I thought of: Neil and Todd (unknowingly) wrote portrait poems of the other. They never shared them with one another.
Then, a few days later at around 2am I got hit with a sudden urge to write. So I did. I wrote two poems from the perspective of Todd and Neil. So, here are the poems.
Neil Perry about Todd Anderson
Fair acrimonious haired boy
With eyes as deep as a thousand oceans
As blue as a lake at dusk.
He is quiescent,
Yet his smile is lucent.
It settles softly on his florid lips.
His features sit in a nervous smile
And though he fights it, felicity shines through.
He is beautiful.
He is angelic.
Todd Anderson about Neil Perry
Soft lips with a lingering smirk
With traces of hopes upon them.
A euphonious voice
Full of passion, love, dreams and desires.
It is greater than any poem.
Oh delicate eyes,
Eyes that would put any work of art to shame.
They are the colour of a thousand dying leaves
And yet they are so full of life.
A kind soul.
With kind hands
And a kind voice
And kind eyes
And kind features
And what can only be assumed to be kind lips.
Oh, how he is the prettiest of all the stars,
And oh. Oh, how he is the prettiest of all the heavens.
(the second one is probably one of my favourite poems I've ever written I adore it)

Inspiration - A Poem
Inspiration is not a lit bulb,
Not a key to a lock,
Not a means to an end,
It is, fundamentally,
That somewhere
Someone
You
Are reading this

When I post a chapter, I'm thrilled with every comment. The 'this is so beautiful :')' comments make me want to keep posting and sharing. Even mentioning just one detail a la 'my favorite part was where you made Zelda break a kiss because she realized exactly how much of an idiot Link was, had me laughing', gives me a chance to think oh, it was funny, that part worked like I hoped it would, I'm so happy the feelings I wanted to get across came across.
I'm not hoping for reviews because I expect some epic tolkein-esque poetry, five paragraphs long, showing love of my themes and characters and imagery through a parallel story.
I AM saying that reviewer Silversoul17, who did write my story epic tolkein-esque poetry, five paragraphs long, showing their love of my themes and characters and imagery through a parallel story, actually owns my heart and I wish I was getting married for the sole purpose of inviting them to my wedding and introducing them to my family as 'my friend Silver, who likes videogames and studies tolkein poetry and whom I adore very, very much.'
this is the comment, as it is too good to only be sitting in the comment section of Dear Hero.
This is the rest of the comment, the most important part, the poem! It didn't format right on mobile, but I got it all into tumblr friendly images eventually!
For context and comparison, the poem I left on Silversoul17's comment the previous chapter was just this:
This one is for Silversoul17, because the paragraphs I wrote gushing about the poem was not enough to show how much I loved it. I don't know if you follow me on tumblr, but I'm going to brag about you anyway. (Go ahead and message me/reply to this if you are following me on tumblr, I'd love to follow you back)

CHANGING STATES
Lately, something has taken hold / of me—not hunger, not shame. It is like a flower / blooming in the injury. —Richie Hofmann
On the evening Jeremiah decides he’ll drive thirty hours to Maryland, the other half of his mattress is cold and Madonna’s on the radio. In his bedroom, he taps his cigarette on the windowsill, the ash scattering into rainy blue hour, and listens. Time goes by so slowly, she goes, her voice singed through his boombox’s broken speakers. He’s meant to replace it, though he’s meant to do a lot of things: check the mail, make a quiche, buy lightbulbs, call his sister, take up cross-stitch, recycle an olive jar, move his bed to the opposite side of his room. But time goes by so slowly, and Jeremiah would know—he’s twenty-one, yet feels he’s been alive for much, much longer.

When the mushrooms first found me
I spent hours laying in the dirt.
Here an entire layer of life escaped
me, here,
this ten inches of top soil, and the fact
that it rains, the fact is a veil must be broken
open like bread, the fact that yeast
rises like a dog begs on hind legs,
the fact that the sacrosanct has
to be raised and shared
between mouths.
I would raise a home
if I could, here,
with my bare beak,
would swim upstream
to a hollow in the riverbank,
would grow four strong legs, half
a dozen young full of careless bite
dripping in the sun.
For a while each love was this love.
You were vessels into which I poured
small gifts
and yes, yes,
we were the carnivores in this story,
that is to say:
a light that doesn’t shine through until you rip
something in two.

I’m no Mary Oliver but sometimes you gotta write about the beauty of life and death
Poem written in gold ink in a notebook. The poem is titled a poem for a chick. It reads:
he blinks at me
with golden eyes,
the chick whose feet curl in wrong,
whose legs can’t support his weight.
he rests his head on my hand,
and I wonder:
does he trust me?
does he know the hand that feeds
him also bites —
that when it does,
it bites out of compassion?
I hold him close to my heart
under cover from the steady rain.
the forest sings its gentle song
and the grass around us grows rich and green.
I think he understands
he was not made for this world
but does he know
the world still loves him?
that the sky still weeps
when it takes him back

The Fernweh Saga by @lacunafiction - Agnes edition
Who would have thought? 🤭
Agnes "Nes" Sigrún
🌑RO: James Corvin
Personality: sincerity // cautious // friendly // merciful
Traits: heart // compliance // believer
Past affinity: writing [horror stories]
Primary ability: empathetic impressions
Past susceptibility: receptive
☀️Fernweh: She never really thought about leaving Fernweh… It was her place, near her family and friend(s). She felt good there and assumed she’s gonna spend her whole life happily in this little town.
Even if Fernweh brings back devastating memories, she’s curious about what’s happening in Fernweh now, in her true home. It’s always been her dream to work in Turn The Page, and during her ‘short’ stay in Fernweh, she started thinking about it again. Why not stay for longer…? She would love to carry on her grandfather’s work and bring his legacy justice.
☀️Grandpa Jóhann: When she was young, she had an amazing relationship with her grandpa. They were completely honest with each other, and she loved him wholeheartedly. Some people thought that making her grandpa proud was her main hobby. She used to tell him all about her dreams that she had, which were always wild... and also about the nightmares… It took her by surprise when her grandpa, one of the most important people in her life, started being less involved. She was hurt and began to wonder if she had done something to cause the distance between them.
His decision to move her out of Fernweh so quickly after this tragic event made a huge impact on her mental state. She needed time to cope and be with her closest ones, especially her grandpa...but after all she didn't blame him. She often heard that she looked exactly like her mother…like her grandpa's daughter... She assumed he could not look at her, without thinking about her... And she could not blame him for wanting to escape that pain. Agnes knew it was the best thing that her grandpa could do for him, and she accepted it, too eagerly. She always too eagerly took the blame for everything.
☀️Beckett Warrick: After what happened in Fernweh after James she had even more trouble interacting with other people and making new friends… However, Beckett was an exception. He was the first person who got to truly know her after the events in Fernweh. When she got the letter about her Grandpa, she considered hiding the truth from him, because she knew deep down that he would be there for her if she needed him… even if he would not particularly enjoy it. It's a good thing she’s such a bad liar…
Her main concern is about Beckett’s well-being. She noticed that this 'little' trip made a huge impact on him. He wasn’t supposed to be here, and it’s because of her that he–... She needs to make sure that nothing happens to her friend. And she will somehow manage to bring him back to his home.
☀️Reese Verner: They had an unconventional relationship. Reese saw her as a rival, while Agnes thought of him as a friend. She was confused about why Verner, someone of great importance, would even look at her see her as a rival. She knew there were better candidates for his games. She had only one question on her mind - “why?”. Despite Verner's playful teasing, Agnes always remained polite and friendly towards him, even when he attempted to push her boundaries. Girl knew how to keep her true feelings behind a warm smile she still does.
If I can be completely honest… Agnes was rather shocked that Reese still remembered her… and was actually looking for her, which sounded so unbelievably. His concern for Milton's well-being made her see him in a slightly different light. Of course, she already knew Reese had a good heart, but his behaviour really touched her. Additionally, Agnes noticed that Reese and James’ relationship became stronger and deeper… It’s for the best. James deserves someone as dependable as Reese. He will always be there for James.
☀️Sofia Dorran: Their bond was formed over a shared admiration for books and... the color blue. It may sound funny now, but these things became central to their lives and deepened their friendship. Sofia was the first person Agnes entrusted with her writing, and valued her honest feedback, knowing that Sofia would not make her feel bad if something needed improvement. They frequently borrowed books from each other's collections.
Agnes yearned for the days when she and Sofia had reading sessions together, sipping on their favorite beverage. The only issue back then was when the book ended poorly or their library didn't have any new positions for them to read. She's willing to know how Sofia's taste toward books shifted (if shifted) and how she changed as a person. She's also extremely grateful because her grandfather received constant care from Sofia and her mother.
🌑James Corvin: …Do I really need to tell you that James was her first crush? And that she never found the courage to tell him so? maybe now will be the time? Agnes and James were always together, wherever one went the other followed. They were inseparable. Agnes even used to bake oatmeal cookies for James with her mother's help. They dreamed of their idyllic life together. As friends, obviously.
Seeing him again after all those years was much harder than she anticipated. Agnes felt overwhelmed with stress from the moment she stepped out of her car. Every time she heard his surname, she unknowingly flinched. Her mind was full of questions about his well-being, life, and changes. She couldn't help but wonder if he would be happy to see her. …she did manage to hold his hand for a moment, I can consider it as a success
☀️Alex Corvin: Agnes has always looked up to Alex for their adventurous spirit and their willingness to embrace life to the fullest. She has always wanted to adopt a bit of Alex' wild side. Whenever they are around, boredom and dullness seem to disappear. They both share similar values and support each other's life goals.
If I would say which person Agnes was the most willing to meet during her stay in Fernweh that would be Alex. She was confident in their friendliness towards everybody and was sure that their kindness had not wavered. Agnes was touched when she heard that Alex was looking after her grandfather's bookstore… It appears that Beckett has a new admirer, which Agnes wholeheartedly approves of.
☀️Mal: Agnes has a sense that Mal might be suspicious, but she is quite naive and doesn't believe that he could mean trouble. Although she is wary of him and finds him a little untrustworthy, Agnes believes in being kind to everyone, and she is willing to give Mal a chance, not judging him by her own impressions of him.
☀️Goldie: Agnes is grateful that her grandfather had a furry companion like Goldie, who probably managed to brighten his spirits. She fondly recalls how her grandfather would tell her stories when he once had a dog, when he was younger and how his eyes would light up with joy as he shared his story. Agnes is committed to taking excellent care of Goldie and ensuring her safety.
