I write things

Tears and a Grin

The Sun still came up the next day

I know not what darkness befell you but i did not expect you to become it's prey

I wish I could tell you how enthralling this sunrise has been

While nothing is particularly special about it

When I saw it I thought of you with tears and a grin

The Sun still came up the next day

I feel so much malice for it as well

I almost wish it didn't so in some way it would justify what feelings you couldn't convey

Some could say what you did was a grave sin

And even after all that hurt in pain I hope you can still look down on us with tears and a grin.

The Sun still came up the next day

And as far as I can tell it will come up tomorrow but sometimes that's even hard for me to say

So I continue to carry the weight of my sins wondering if one day I'll give in to the contemplation that the sun may not rise tomorrow, but until I can tell you in person that it did rise again.

I'll continue to look at the sun with tears and a Grin

[horned-druid]

First "Love"

All you are is fake

You do care but only when it's about you

Leaving quiet destruction in your wake

Draped in a deceiving cloak of love that I'll never think is true

You parade around claiming to always care and be sympathetic

But you're true intentions are laced with a hate and anger you never want to confess

It's pathetic

You hold this malice within you and it will never cease to oppress

You act as though you can do no wrong

And even when you "admit" it

I have to remain strong

Because your hatred I will not allow you to transmit

The cycle stops here which started long ago

I will not let the hate you try to pass to me take root, I will choose to grow

[horned-druid]

Perhaps this is what it means to be alive

Always changing but the pain stays the same

I hope one day the change will cease hurting

No I will wish to be a stronger man

Pain

Learn to accept the Darkness and you will never be alone.

Dark can be many things like cold, scary, and uncertain.

But Dark can be warm, it can be soft, gentle even you just have to view it in that manner.

Sleep is our most common experience of Dark. Its warm, soft, and gentle. But it can also be harrowing and scary.

You just have to accept the Dark and accept that Dark and Light exist because of each other and have to exist in balance.

The trees watch me

I take comfort in their gaze

The trees never lie

Dammit I clipped through again

[horned-druid]

I did it mama

I started my life for you

Forgive me mama

[horned-druid]

I'm trying to sleep

Darkness floods my open eyes

Why arent dreams calm

[horned-druid]

It's not a quick snap it's a slow drag.

It's not a bone breaking it's your muscles and nerves wearing down and not being the same.

It's not a ugly explosion of rage and emotional viscera it's a slow burn or your very nervous system slowly disappearing until theres nothing left.

It's not your freinds leaving in a clear cut moment of distrust and sorrow its them learning to hate you and resent what you've become but holding on to the person they once knew.

It's not a quick snap

It's the slowest drag you'll ever, have the misfortune of experiencing.

Kaswans Journal #5

Me and Andrea did some searching around in the chamber we found ourselves in and I found a hidden button that opened up a door to a staircase. I say searching but in a fit of rage Andrea started clawing at the miss on the walls and I spotted the strange stone I worry about the poor girl. Anyway as it opened these creatures sprung out of it, I honestly cant tell what they are they might be constructs of some kind. But they went down pretty easy, thank Pelore they did we could use a break from this hell of a job.

"Below the entry is a sketch of a construct with six legs connected to a long stick that leads up to a icosahedron like shape, it looks angry."

Kaswans Journal #4

We lost Oswald....after the long hallway there was a dark hole and a ladder that led down into large room full of bones. Some of the bones looked anceint all covered in grime and dirt while others still had chunks of skin and flesh on them. Andrea accidentally stepped on a pressure plate and acid began filling the room, Andrea and I managed to get to an adjacent room where I'm writing this but poor Oswald tripped on a corpse and was washed over with the acidic slurry of old flesh and corrosive liquid. We heard his screams for hours, Andrea the poor girl is still in the corner hands clenched on her head so hard shes drawing blood. We need to find a way out of here because every now and then i feel a thud through the walls.

I remember

The first place we kissed on the bus, in your car, on the wooded walkway, and outside your work

I remember tearing your heart out by accident and because something you thought happened didn’t

I remember when you tore out my heart over and over again for two years so I think your heartbreak while cruel is justified

I remember that we survived We survived hate and rape and lies Until one day you wanted to survive alone and cheated on me

I remember first meeting you my heart torn and broken but you patched me up with band aids while someone else used stitches

I remember you and I surviving the summer and running into your arms the first day of senior year and I remember just as the new year started you pushing me away for a reason I still don’t understand

I remember four years ago sitting with you at lunch and playing card games cracking jokes as I fell in love with your eyes and smile

And now I feel Your warmth your touch your embrace that says I’ve seen you go through so much and now I just want you to heal now I want you to grow

I feel your sweet kisses and support for our future

I feel your strong trust and understanding that putting a broken person back together won’t be easy after the abuse of three others but

I’m doing the same for you Because you remember

[horned-druid]

I think I'm stuck in a loop

Mornings come and go but I no longer feel happy to be awake what's the point if I cant shake this sinking feeling deep inside so behind my mask I must hide.

Afternoons come and I feel force less the palms of my hands covered in coarness left behind from the days work I try to drift off but back into reality my head jerks.

Nights come slow and somber but I cant help but think somewhere in that silent darkness I've forgotten something it feels good to be rid of my worldly duties even if only for a few lines but once I awake the rhymes come back and as sit up my head will droop.

I think I am stuck in a loop.

Kaswans Journal entry #3

I managed to get us through the metal bars revealing a door made of stone with some kind of weird etching on it, it looked like a raindrop but the top of it curved out again when it met the ceiling of the cave. Anyway we made it inside and we found a long dark hallway laiden in stone but some form of slime or mucus drips out of the walls, Andrea assured me that if it is a slime she would throw me as hard as she could to the entrance and so I could get away, i guess this was an attempt at some kind of humor because I can tell the poor girl is terrified.

[gothvegas]

Hey remember when JKR said the sk*nwalker wasn’t actually a horrible monster and was just native Americans being dumb and not understanding wizard shit

Remember when she deadass said that for real and thought that was fine

[gothvegas]

Also remember when she thought there were just random ancient castles in North America like how there are in europe. Do you remember

[gothvegas]

She was like “the American wizard school goopygloop is in an ancient castle in North America”. First of all who built that shit. The pilgrims? My guy jebadiah who has 9 children dying of dissentary like oh yeah I’m gonna build a fully functional Scottish castle right here in the middle of Roanoak. That’s a good use of my time and resources.

[dospunk]

The American wizard school is a Cheesecake Factory in Vegas

[revanchistsuperstar]

This is making me laugh so hard, especially because there ARE some castles that I know of in America (New York State specifically is where the two I could name off the the top of my head are) but they’re like… noveau riche castles built by robber barons in the 1800s. God, did no one try to give her a crash course in what America is actually like??

[thekgalaxy]

Apparently America is just Britain but bigger to Rowling. If she knew anything about America she’d know the magic that’s intrinsic to different regions. I mean we’ve got truck stops in the midwest that come right when you need them or always seem to be ten miles away, off ramps off of LA freeways that don’t go anywhere, abandoned lighthouses on the east coast with the light still on, the Mary Celeste, the House on the Rock, whatever’s going on in Roswell, the Winchester house, and a ton more, and she makes up another boring castle?

Also, one school for the whole US? She clearly doesn’t get how BIG the US is. We’d need separate schools for LA county and Orange county, let alone all 50 states.

I wish she’d open her mythology up to other writers. It’s got a ton of potential, but she absolutely cannot write it.

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

I mean not to get all ‘Murica here but… American culture is one of the most pervasive cultures on the entire planet. We are not difficult to learn information about. Rowling has BEEN here for fucks sake. It’s not like America is some tiny low populated country in the hills of Africa or the valleys of Asia or some shit. It would’ve taken only a teensy bit of effort to know at least a few fucking things about American culture and history.

[zucca101]

Let’s get constructive there then!

I challenge everyone to come up with the most likely location of a wizarding school for at least five states!

Try to avoid using states that have already been stated unless you disagree!

1: California’s wizarding school specializes in agriculture and is located on a farm and horse ranch in Northern California. The horses all talk and mirror personalities of former teachers and headmasters. It’s rumored they’re reincarnated.

2: Colorado’s school is located in the mountains, but it’s actually carved out of an entire mountain, to the point that it has its own internal weather system which is the prime point of study! Weather manipulation and tending.

3: The school for South Dakota is located inside Mount Rushmore, specializing in geomancy. The students often prank tourists by enchanting the heads to make funny faces and photo-bomb them.

4: The school in Oklahoma is on Cherokee Nation territory, specializing in communing with the spirits inherent in all things and studying old America artifacts.

5: The school in Wyoming is on the outskirts of Yellowstone, and animagus often take walkabouts through the park, learning to become more in touch with nature, but the school also selects students with great patience to help forestall the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone, delaying its eruption.

6. The school in Utah is in canyon country and good luck finding it. They reseach ways to help bees and insects, among other aninals and how to help with fading populations. Youd think a desert school trying to find out how to restore bees is kinda silly but they take their job so seriously they got a beehive on the state flag.

7. The school in Washington is just… somewhere. No one really knows where because they specialize in all things invisible. In fact they are the only ones who to this day still produce effective invisibility cloaks.

8. South Carolina’s school is just there and youll ne damned if anyone qctually goes to it or doesnt. Maybe they just commute to Georgia’s school instead? Heck if anyone knows what they do, maybe fish? No one cares. Its south carolina!

9. Georgia, basically every single wizard drink thats non-alcoholic comes from this school. You know like actual fizzy lifting drinks? Yeah they do that. They reside actually in the coco-cola secret vault! People pass by it all the time in tours and no one notices!

10. West virgina, its along a country road that is pure dirt, once a company tried to pave it. They got about an inch before the wizard ands wtiches came out shooting shot guns on horseback. They research ways of maintaining the american lands and preventing development of areas to help populations of wild horses and native life.

[cookingwithroxy]

I can only fairly do one.

11: Illinois has it’s school in the center of the state, and they’re damn glad they got established there. The original plan was to keep it close enough to Springfield to have at least some contact with the state government, but with the rise of Chicago the simple fact that they were in the middle of nowhere kept them from being dragged into the actual magical and muggle politics of the area. The focus of their classwork is on magical aid to farming and crops, like most of the midwestern states.

[horned-druid]

12: Maryland has a school at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay where they focus on cultivating sea life like the oysters back to a decent population and help fisherman with tides and catching fish, they also have research spots set up along the coast that look like old battlements but are actually how they keep up to date on local wildlife and fauna. They also appease the giant crab that lives in the bottom of the bay and hope it never awakens.

[celestial-naiad]

^I’d throw something in there too about possibly cleansing the water too since the place is filled with nastiness from baltimore and new york

[horned-druid]

That's what the oysters are for
