I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

Do you like poems?

[re-peysi]

for context these are the poems

[bunjywunjy]

also I almost forgot but the r/ambien Gives Us The Sleep post takes a completely serious third place in my favorite poems list:

[bunjywunjy]

and COMING IN HOT at NUMBER FOUR on my list, it's Fragment 147! an accidental poem created when the original parchment containing a text by Sappho was used to stop a wine jug more than 2,000 years ago- eventually the wine dissolved most of the parchment, leaving just a few words and BOY do they prove that the Universe has a sense of irony.

I do increasingly want to make an ace and aro anthology where cozy slice of life is OUT and Bad Rep™ is IN. Give me your aro and ace nonhumans, your alien species where no one has invented romance and sex doesn’t exist, your loners, your grouchy bad-attitude assholes, your hackers who feel more affinity with computers than other people, your characters who are deeply hurt when others abandon them for their romantic partners and are not gracious about it, your people who feel outside of their society, your characters who make bad and selfish decisions and conversely your characters who are dramatically self sacrificing. Give me military SF and postapocalypse and angst and drama and stories where a small research team goes to a distant planet and everybody fuckin dies. Give me ace characters who aren’t patient or understanding and aro characters who do not give a shit about romance, fictional or otherwise. Give me aroaces who decide to take fate into their own hands and bomb Mercury about it

[grammarpedant]

I WOULD SUBMIT STORIES TO THIS ANTHOLOGY

My, my… what big teeth you have! Meet the Pacific stargazer (Astroscopus zephyreus). Found in coastal waters from California to Peru, this fish is an ambush hunter. Spending most of its life buried beneath the sand, the stargazer’s upturned face is an adaptation that allows it to see even when most of its body is concealed. What’s more? This species is capable of stunning prey with electrical shocks of up to 50 volts! Photo: alboertoalcala, CC BY 4.0 iNaturalist

Actually Amika is a domesticated bird who loves her very nice enclosure and sees zero reason why she should yearn for this freedom shit, there's hawks out there and in here she gets all the seed she wants???
