The silvery tears of April? Youth of May? Or June that breathes out life for butterflies?

they should invent a life that is liveable and a sleep that comes easy and a winter that doesn't feel like decay and a spring that doesn't feel like the past and a head that doesn't hurt and a heart that doesn't sit in your chest like a rock and a body that doesn't hate you and a hometown that doesn't make you lose your mind and a university that won't kill you they should invent a me that is normal I think that would be really neat. ok good night I love you

i looooove characters who are sacrificial lamb coded. characters who have never lived for themselves. characters born to be a tool, a weapon, a sacrifice, all of the above. a character raised by the heroes to save the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. a character raised by the villains to end the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. characters who are denied personhood so they can be used as tools instead. characters who never even had a chance to be people because they were shaped into something else from the moment they were born. characters who were born to die.

Evermore-Fashion: Women of Marvel

Dr. Susan "Sue" Richards (née Storm), a.k.a the Invisible Woman, is an American super-powered adventurer. She was a college student before she was exposed to high levels of cosmic radiation when boyfriend and scientist, Dr. Reed Richards, took her with her younger brother, Johnny Storm and pilot Ben Grimm, into space in the stolen rocket Marvel-1. The radiation mutated her and her friends, turning her invisible and allowing her to create forcefields. Together they became the Fantastic Four, a team of adventurers who explored space, time, and alternate dimensions and saved the world along the way from science-based threats.

This story is about sex. But not how you assume it is. Words load themselves like a gun. I say gag, you are already imagining the scent of sweat, the sound of one body choking on another. Instead I mean the desperate of one body to empty itself into change. Instead I mean ketosis, acid stained teeth. The words do all the work for me. Reframe the story so it tells itself, before I even open my mouth.

         the moon will          not

save me the rain will not

         save me,          save

a thin shill          of skin-silt,

         for what i lock          up or

down does not          live long enough to

         be the prophetic          thin thing

Sax holds as          worth              

         praising,          worth

phrasing          still

— Faye Chevalier, from “the moon won’t save you,” after “Psychotherapy” by sam sax, published in Peach
