“You got to love it. This is flesh I'm talking about here. Flesh that needs to be loved. Feet that need to rest and to dance; backs that need support; shoulders that need arms, strong arms I'm telling you. And O my people, out yonder, hear me, they do not love your neck unnoosed and straight. So love your neck; put a hand on it, grace it, stroke it and hold it up. And all your inside parts that they'd just as soon slop for hogs, you got to love them.

The dark, dark liver-love it, love it and the beat and beating heart, Love that too. More than eyes or feet. More than Lungs that have yet to draw free air. More than your life-holding womb and your life-giving private parts, hear me now, love your heart.

For this is the prize.”

-Toni Morrison, Beloved

one thing to ask yourself with fiction is. who gets to want and who has to settle for being wanted

I think the original tags deserve to just. Go here.

#desire > pursuit > interiority (hmmm....)#im going to come back to this....#i see this in particular with fanon engagement of certain ships esp. when one of the characters is white #the non-white character is positioned as the desired and the agency is afforded to them usually as a mirroring point only #for the white characters desirability. so like we're not seeing the white character as desirable from the perspective #of the character of color. we're often reading it from the white person being *perceived* as desirable and how that makes them feel #i think reader/writer positionally also comes into play. the white character is both a projection of what someone desires to be and to have #and that doesn't always mean that the reader/writer is white.#but there is something in fans (un)consciously beholding white desire as the highest honour a character of color can receive #in terms of desirability.#and so in fics or hc it can often be taken to two extremes of:#character of color becomes a mirror to reflect white character and reads as white (no agency)#or the other side - character of color is afforded 'agency' through being fetishized. they're usually overly dominant or overly submissive #as a vector for the sexual fantasies the white character can't express anywhere else #maybe if i read sensual excess i can think about this better hold on #on desire #on writing

really love keeping up with my mutuals through their little tags and vent posts. getting updates on how they’re doing is something like: glad to know your job at the library is going well. i’m sorry you haven’t gotten that raise. glad your finals went well. i’m sorry your teacher is so unhelpful. glad your tv show got renewed. i’m sorry they killed your favorite character. glad that you scored tickets to see your favorite artist. i’m sorry they aren’t touring near you at all. glad your cat is doing well. i’m sorry your mom is sick again. glad you’re feeling better now that it’s your favorite season. i’m sorry your meds aren’t working. glad you’re married now. i’m sorry you have to step back for your mental health. glad you’re still here. i’m sorry life is so hard. glad you’re alive, i hope things get easier for you soon

honestly sometimes there's no better feeling than rereading a fic you've written and coming out of it going, "yeah that actually this DOES slap. exactly what i wanted to read. fucking nailed it."

#trying to get over this writers block so I tried writing the last chapter and ouuu it does eat if I do say so myself 🙂‍↕️#the final image was so vivid in my head and I think I’ve captured how I wanted it to land and sound #now all I have to do is do the *exact same thing* for ch.2…I believe in you brain you can do this we’re almost there sister 😭#I’m deeply critical of my own stuff and ch.4 (as it exists now..i might hate it in a week) tearsss like sorry #there’s one part that I spent so long drafting and redrafting but it finally sounds how i envisioned #the only thing stopping me from yeeting this fic is that I really want y’all to read ch.4 I love it so much ahhhh

i wish they'd left this in

#I kinda preferred how they used it in the end #it was intercut as a montage in the end and it held much more emotional weight rather than appearing chronologically in the film #because now we get the magnitude of loss and smoke considering that loss #they really just wanted one good day to gather. a whole community gone just like that #I remember the first time I watched it and I was literally sobbing lmao #because if it wasn’t the vampires it would have been the klan #sinners

You gotta be bad You gotta be bold You gotta be wiser You gotta be hard You gotta be tough You gotta be stronger You gotta be cool You gotta be calm….

#and apparently love will save the day but hey! what do I know…

convinced oomb (one of my besties…) to read jazz, gave my sister a copy of sula and my gf is getting beloved from the library 🙂‍↕️

#what I’m trying to plot and scheme is a book club essentially #it’s kinda tragic because I’m struggling to read anything after beloved lmao #I might have to spin the block on jazz because every book i read I’m like: why are you speed running through your words let it cook. damn!#but I also think I’m chasing the pure joy of that book club I was in years ago #i would be dog tired from work but I got to talk to some real smart divas and experience now loved books for the first time with them <3 #kit reads
