@princepsxfemina my beloved

"No me jodes, que no tengo comida para ti, ok?"

[princepsxfemina]

"Welcoming me back with the sweetest of words as always, dear Xochitl." Cassia all but sing songed as she reached to 'boop' the other woman's nose. The words may or may not have been understood at all but the sentiment was clear enough. Unfortunately, she chose to ignore it.

O Supernova, 

dying in a brilliant blaze of light, 

couldn’t you have shined

that scorching heat 

upon my wounded heart too?

I could have followed

your trail 

to the darkest oblivion.

SENTENCE  STARTERS :  THE  INVISIBLE  LIFE  OF  ADDIE  LARUE  BY  V.E.  SCHWAB 

PART I: THE GODS THAT ANSWER AFTER DARK

❛ don’t you remember when you were nothing but shadow and smoke? ❜

❛ darling, i was the night itself. ❜

❛ some days you’re stuck with what you’ve got. ❜

❛ heaven is a nice spot in the shade, a broad tree over my bones. ❜

❛ spells are for witches, and witches are too often burned. ❜

❛ never pray to the gods that answer after dark. ❜

❛ i am always with you. ❜

❛ am i the devil? or the dark? am i a monster? or a god? ❜

❛ i do not want to belong to someone else. ❜

❛ i want more time. ❜

❛ are you a stranger or a spirit? ❜

❛ you wanted to be free. ❜

❛ it is a lonely thing to be forgotten. to remember when no one else does. ❜

❛ how do you walk to the end of the world? ❜

❛ come live with me and be my love. ❜

❛ you do not know what love is. ❜

❛ if you sold your soul for one thing, what would it be? ❜

PART II: THE DARKEST PART OF THE NIGHT

❛ you are entirely hopeless. ❜

❛ this, is a story of gods. ❜

❛ drink with me. ❜

❛ if a person cannot leave a mark, do they even exist? ❜

❛ with time, you can get used to anything. ❜

❛ you can have my life when i am done with it. you can have my soul when i don’t want it anymore. ❜

❛ you will give in, soon enough. ❜

❛ water me, and watch me bloom. ❜

❛ they say people are like snowflakes, each one unique, but i think they’re more like skies. some are cloudy, some are stormy, some are clear, but no two are ever quite the same. ❜

❛ i am not yours. ❜

❛ am i the devil, or the darkness? ❜

❛ stop pretending you did me a kindness instead of a cruelty. ❜

❛ you have grown teeth. ❜

PART III: THREE HUNDRED YEARS — AND THREE WORDS

❛ i was thinking, that it must be so easy to be a man. ❜

❛ there is something timeless about you. ❜

❛ i thought you were a new yorker. ❜

❛ do you ever feel like you’re running out of time? ❜

❛ it did not feel like courage, it felt as if i had no choice. ❜

❛ do you think a life has any value if one doesn’t leave some mark upon the world?❜

❛ i think there are many ways to matter. ❜

❛ i know your heart, dear. i feel when it falters. ❜

❛ i am the night itself. i see everything. ❜

❛ you thought i would wither without your attention. ❜

❛ would you rather feel nothing or everything? ❜

❛ i thought you had better things to do than plague me. ❜

❛ you’re being an ass. ❜

❛ he’s still in love with you. ❜

❛ but i can’t love him back. ❜

❛ without me you will always be alone. ❜

❛ are you still drunk? ❜

❛ don’t forget me. ❜

PART IV: THE MAN WHO STAYED DRY IN THE RAIN

❛ time moves so fucking fast. ❜

❛ you’re not enough. ❜

❛ we can’t help who we fall in love with. ❜

❛ pain can be beautiful. ❜

❛ i am the one who sees kindling and strokes the flame. ❜

❛ i can look at you and see you as you are. ❜

❛ you look like shit. ❜

❛ my little storm cloud, don’t let it get too dark in here. ❜

❛ come home with me. ❜

❛ god, it feels good to be wanted. ❜

❛ don’t get me wrong. you’re cute. but i’m still a lesbian. ❜

❛ the question is simple, what do you want for yourself? ❜

❛ you are impossible, a paradox, a collection at odds. ❜

❛ they look at you and see whatever they want… because they don’t see you at all. ❜

❛ what do you see in me? ❜

PART V: THE SHADOW WHO SMILED AND THE GIRL WHO SMILED BACK

❛ and you think me the devil, now? ❜

❛ say the word, and i will lay my soul bare before you. ❜

❛ you do have a way of finding trouble. ❜

❛ humans are so ill-equipped for peace. ❜

❛ are you not a god of chaos? ❜

❛ i am a god of promise. ❜

❛ do not mistake this kindness. ❜

❛ i simply want to be the one who breaks you. ❜

❛ i do what i have to, and it’s not always nice, and it’s not always fair, but it’s how i survive. ❜

❛ i can be wild. i can be stubborn as weeds, and you will not root me out. ❜

❛ we are not so different, are we? ❜

❛ i have seen your truest form. you cannot scare me now. ❜

❛ in the end, everyone wants to be remembered. ❜

❛ i am a muse and you are a thief. ❜

PART VI: DO NOT PRETEND THAT THIS IS LOVE

❛ i know i can be cruel but nature can be crueler. ❜

❛ you know how to summon gods. ❜

❛ who knew gods were so nostalgic? ❜

❛ you have not been human since the night we met. ❜

❛ i would rather be a ghost. ❜

❛ have you missed me? ❜

❛ immortality breeds a high tolerance for risk. ❜

❛ there are things worse than death. ❜

❛ i want you. i have always wanted you. ❜

❛ will you vanish with the sun? ❜

❛ how often did you think of me? ❜

❛ you are not capable of love. ❜

❛ love is hungry. love is selfish. ❜

❛ do not pretend that this is love. ❜

❛ dance with me. ❜

❛ stay with me, i’m here. ❜

❛ i am tired of losing. tired of mourning everything i try to love. ❜

Bronze newborn puppy

Of Greek or Roman craftsmanship, discovered in Rome

The Walters Art Museum

[sickly-victorian-boy]

Do you ever think about how many of the items now considered priceless artifacts were once commonplace items? The coins we now marvel at from behind the glass at a museum were once tossed around, stepped on, and traded around. The pottery painstakingly pieced back together was somebody’s favorite wine jug. The decorative pin now rusted and bent once held together the shoulder of someone’s chiton. History is simply a trail of ordinary people going about their day, and I think there’s an odd sort of beauty in that.

[skooffuskaild]

thinking about my lil students in the LGBT+ club and how important it is to protect transyouth and transgirls. how important it is to let the masc/butch leaning girls know that it’s ok if they realize they’re boys. how important it is to me to refer to my transgirls as ‘honey’ and ‘gorl’. how important it is to let them know it’s ok to not know or be in the middle. or nothing at all.

trans rights are human rights and that’s that on that
