Valzhyna Mort, from Music for the Dead and Resurrected: Poems; “Genesis”
Text ID: I’ve always preferred Cain. / His angry / loneliness, his / lack of mother’s / love, his Christian / sarcasm: “Am I / my brother’s keeper?” / asks his brother’s murderer. / Aren’t we indeed / the keepers of our dead?
before pride month ends i would like to once again recommend queer serial, an american LGBT history podcast that covers the movement pre-stonewall (and a little bit thereafter.) it is so important to learn about our history and culture and keep it alive. if you feel like you don’t know that much about LGBT history please take the time to learn. this podcast is a great foundation. if you have the opportunity to speak to older LGBT people, please do so. it is in the interest of our oppressors to have us forget this history, forget the power we have, and make us feel more alone than we really are. we have always been here and we will never go away. no matter how many times we are erased and censored. never forget that.
When I was writing my university bachelor's degree thesis (that I'm still to defend) about Penny Dreadful as a modern adaptation of Frankenstein I noticed how the original novel's homoeroticism is realized by the series in an interesting way.
In the way he is presented, it seems to me that Victor secretly desires men, but thinks that only through creating a perfect one by himself he's allowed to touch other man's skin. His endeavour to pierce the veil between life and death is an excuse, since Victor from the series grew up lonely after the death of his mother and he searches for companionship, for someone who would love him unconditionally, like his mother used to. He believes he can find such love only in a person he creates himself, brings from the dead, and who would see him as his only friend, calm and obedient. Yet his first instinct is to make a man, not a woman, and a handsome man at that.
You know, now I am watching media were people are actually allowed to swear freely...
The Mikaelson's would have benefited greatly from being allowed to say fuck
Rebekah: says fuck constantly
Hayley: lived on the streets, knows all the newest swearwords and then some
Freya: still swears in Old Norse/Viking/whatever the show thought they spoke when they were kids
Elijah: swears but in Old Italian/French/German/Dutch, depending on the mood and specific word.
Klaus: swears loudly when he is inconveniences, such as his brush falling on the ground
Cami: she is a bartender, what do you think?
Marcel: he was in the army for a while, what do you think?

loki, looking him dead in the eye: you will.
drax: [really bad joke]
peter parker: mr. drax? I would die for you
drax, with a pause spent determining that peter is probably joking and then a hearty guffaw: but my muscles and fighting power is several times your own! your death would be meaningless!
peter parker, in the middle of battle with no regard for his own safety: i would die for you
t'challa, who has lived with shuri long enough to know exactly what answer peter is looking for: then perish
Peter parker, jumping in front of steve: i would die for you mr. rodgers
Steven Grant Rodgers, a known idiot, somersaulting over peter: not if i die for you first
Peter Parker, one night over dinner: I would die for you aunt may
Aunt May, a worried mess and 100% done with this shit: not if you’re grounded for life you won’t
Peter Parker, out of the blue: I would die for you

P: Everyone is not going to love you. J: That is not what this is about!
The trouble with public art installations is that even among those that don’t strive to be inoffensively bland, too many of them are designed to be cute or inspiring or edgy or otherwise provoke a specific, well-defined emotion. What we need is more public art whose intended reaction is “what in the goddamn…?”

Advice to new writers when writing tvd ?
Hmmm. That’s a great question.
Honestly, make sure you know the character you’re writing for. For example, if you’re writing for damon, maybe watch an episode before you write, so you can watch him and get his way of speaking down and his mannerisms so you can portray that, if you so choose. Make sure you use language the characters in the show would use.
I think having an understanding of vampires and the mechanics of them in tvd is important, because honestly vampires are so different across different versions that you don’t want to get them mixed up. That goes for werewolves and witches as well. Just make sure you know the rules the show has set if you plan on sticking to them.
Most importantly, it’s fanfiction. I think you can write whatever the hell you want and have fun with it, if a character isn’t necessarily acting how they would in the show, so be it! You wanted to write them that way, so do it! And have fun with it!
imagine trying to learn english and hear this
the worst part is that this makes perfect sense to me
There is no one in earth stronger than people who learn English as a second language. I bow to you
fun fact bones used to be worn outside the body
you think this is on of my shitposts, but when bone material first evolved in organisms about 1.5 billion years ago, it was in the form of exoskeletons/shells. they served as protective shields. you know, like with turtles, or sea urchin spines.
exoskeletons helped protect the softer anatomy, but also restricted movement and surface sensory organs. eventually bones evolved to be inside the body instead of outside. this had a lot of benefits, and led to the evolution of vertebrates.
@arsanatomica does a great job of illustrating it here!
a neat fact is all this started when violent tectonic plate movements deposited huge amounts of minerals (including calcium) into the ocean (where life was based). this allowed organisms to develop hard body parts, such as shells or spines.
earthquakes caused bones and i think that’s nifty!
do you think there’s ever been a point in the avatar cycle where everyone was just waiting for them to pop up in one of the water tribes, but instead they reincarnated into one of those waterbending swamp hicks in the earth kingdom? because I really like the idea of a swamp avatar with a little leaf hat and a southern drawl.
so apparently with the tribes that have, like, discrete sites of power, the Avatar would rotate where they were born. Which for Air meant it would go something like Northern->Western->Southern->Eastern, and for the water tribe meant it would alternate between North and South, which is part of why the Southern Tribe had been so depleted; Sozin knew that was where the next Avatar would be born.
but. The swamp is ABSURDLY connected to the spirit world, and definitely should have gone into the rotation, and I’m just. Just imagining. An AU where Aang didn’t make it and Sozin just assumed the Southern tribe was next and anyway twenty years later this goddamn fully realized hick from the sticks Avatar emerges from the swamp and puts the hurting on the fire nation.
Instead of a polar bear dog or whatever, their animal companion is an alligator.
i love the term gender envy. i wanna unlock the other seven deadly gender sins. show me gender greed. im like a gender dragon
“If we were to compare ourselves with novelists who write in English, we might find our minds infused with countless unsavory sentiments such as jealousy, ill-will, anger, despair, and apathy, as if we had opened Pandora’s box. Yet, just as “hope” was left inside the box, there is one thing left for us. On this one point, we have absolute superiority over novelists who write in English. For those of us who know we are living in this asymmetry are the only ones condemned to perpetually reflect upon language, the only ones forced to know that the English language cannot dictate “truths” and that there are other “truths” in this world that cannot be perceived through the English language. Of course, I am sure that many novelists writing in English also reflect upon language just like we do. Yet they are not condemned to do so in the way that we are. They are not condemned to know, for instance, that the works that are usually translated into English are those that are both thematically and linguistically the easiest to translate, that often only reinforce the worldview constructed by the English language, and preferably that entertain readers with just the right kind of exoticism. They are not condemned to know that there is thus a perpetual hermeneutic circle—that in interpreting the world, only “truths” that can be perceived in English exist as “truths.” They are not condemned to know that this hermeneutic circle is further consolidated by the honorable Nobel Prize in Literature, which inevitably suppresses all the problems inherent in the act of translation. Only we are condemned.”
