Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Edit: People, I’m an English and creative writing double major in college; I understand that there’s nothing wrong with simply using “said.” This was just for fun, and it comes in handy when I need to add pizzazz.

I believe that my fondness for the so-called 'enemies to lovers' trope comes from my innate belief within myself that I am unlovable. So to be shown a connection that is rooted with the knowledge of each others flaws and having the pair, in spite it of it all, choose to walk that unknown path together, purely based upon love... well that provides me with such a deep and bright hope for what is to come.

I love to just accept that what I went through has lead me to where I am today. So chill.

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

Orestes dies at age 70, Orestes is 3 when Agamennon leaves for war and he never gets to see him again after, which would mean if Orestes and Agamennon reunited in the underworld it would have been 67 years since they last saw each other.

If you thought I was gonna say something meaningful then you're wrong I just wanted to make a 67 joke six sevennnn six sevennnn

ya'll ever just feel the sinking void in your stomach come back after months but realise that it's not a void anymore, it's only a tiny hole, because you have outgrown it?

ya'll ever just open yourself up to life and allow yourself to become more expansive than the pain that once smothered you?

ya'll ever just do that?

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

L. V., excerpts from the afterword

[lunamonchtuna]

to be seen without performing. to be heard without screaming. to be missed without disappearing. to be enough without proving it. to be held without falling apart. to be understood without explaining. to be wanted without conditions. to be. to be.

From Circe: Greek Myth Poetry

Scream your existential questions

and allow the dread to linger on the vast horizon

while the answer dances through the echo.

Absence corrodes your memories

as the abyss calves itself onto your skin.

Do I dare to keep screaming

across the deep chasm of regret?

Or do I, as the doves dive every morning,

allow my body to sink?

Is that all there is left for me,

the morsels which remain and which are given, by the gods,

to make up for my forgotten existence?

They abandon the shore of my soul and take off

in their boats like sick, sacking sailors, 

in want of glory. 

Wherefore I billow on the coast,

in want of revenge.
