Calling in sick to work because we're all just specs of conscious dust in an incomprehensible macrocosm who will live for an infinitesimal amount of time and what do you mean I can't go frolic in the woods because I need to finish a spreadsheet

Not now sweetie, mommy is watching people throw themselves down a hill after a wheel of cheese.

"The Poet" by Reynier Llanes

"The Poem" by me

Walk me out into the long grass, where midday hums against my skin.

I am already fading. You can see it in the way my weary shoulders borrow green. In the healing bruise-blooms of lilac against my broken back.

Each step presses me further into the thick, sweet breath of things.

My body is re-learning the patience of fields, the slow language of spring.

I will be back later, when the light has finished filling me and I am once again more than a soft disturbance of colour.

I will be the poet, tomorrow. Today, I am the poem.

"I can't lose you again" is the trope of all time perhaps

Hnh, him

[jourrdane]

Dealing with ADHD feels like a total dystopian nightmare.

You’ve got an older, wealthier, politically influential generation still acting like it’s not even real, while at the same time everything around us is designed to destroy our attention span.

Everything feels engineered to keep us distracted and push us into impulsive decision-making. Into impulsive spending.

So we end up stuck in a system that screws with our ability to focus, then turns around and profits off it. Is it any wonder it's so fucking hard to get a diagnosis and the correct medication.

Fuck this man it all feels impossible.

WIP Whenever

@optimisticgrey tagged me over a month ago 😬 (sorry babe) but here is something I am working on. Following on from my Lae'zel prequel, and inspired by the Astarion book announcement...

Here is a snippet of my prequel story for the person who deserves it most, the babe of frontiers.

"You do not lie to me,” Ulder said. “Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Laziness can be trained out of you. Lying cannot.”

Wyll stayed silent.

“There is nothing more frustrating than wasted potential,” his father went on. “I see it every day. Strong recruits. Bright futures. All squandered.” His voice hardened. “Because they will not listen. Because they will not learn.”

“I want to learn,” Wyll said, the words escaping before he could stop them. He looked up, meeting his father’s eyes.

“There are no shortcuts to victory.”

“I know.”

“I will not have you expecting an easy life because you are my son.”

“I know.”

“Everything you become, you will earn.” Ulder gestured around the room. “I had none of this. Not your comforts. Not your advantages. I was a blacksmith’s boy in the Lower City. I practiced swordsmanship with a worn-down poker.”

“I know,” Wyll said again, bold enough to roll his eyes“I know.”

Ulder’s jaw tightened. His foot struck the dragon miniature, and Ansur, Heart of the Gate, flew across the room, shattering into broken little pieces against the far wall.

Wyll’s vision blurred, and he blinked hard, willing the tears back.

“You know very little.”

Tagging for WIP sharing (words, art, anything) - @mercymaker @orangekittyenergy @weaveandwood @littleplasticrat @marlowethebard @redheadsramblings @midandevil and anyone else plz

I thiiink he's done? I'm gonna call him done. He might be my favourite that I've done so far.

Wyll as The Morning Star from Alphonse Mucha ✨

Shadowheart is here as The Moon Astarion is here as The North Star Lae'zel is here as The Comet

I'm only missing one for the Evening Star to complete the serie hehe It'll probably be Lae'zel. Then if I wanna do all the companions I'll have to make up additional star themed ones... Karlach as the sun, Gale as the Midnight Star? That would work right?

Maybe next year...
