《 ⭐️intro⭐️ 》

⭐️ hi! i’m tumblr user @vintricles in writer form. for your own convenience, you may refer to me as goose or vin (neither is disliked, but vin is preferred, seeing as it is my name.)

⭐️ my pronouns are they | xey | it | star in no particular order! please do try to alternate, as i identify strongly with all four sets. thank you!

⭐️ you may interact with my work however you please. however, kindly let me know if you would like to use it as inspiration, quote it anywhere, or do anything with it outside of reblogs/commenting.

please ask for my permission if you would like to: 💫 quote my work directly 💫 incorporate my work into your own 💫 make something based off of my writings. while all of this is welcome, i appreciate having the option to decline in the case that i am uncomfortable. thank you for your understanding! (i am also aware that this is all a long shot—better to have boundaries pre-set just in case!)

⭐️ i am against the use of generative ai! i am aware that i cannot actively prevent the feeding of my writing into ai, but please do know that if you have done this or intend to do so, it was, is, and always will be against my wishes.

⭐️ a brief content warning: i am prone to writing about mental illness, and often employ potentially disturbing metaphors. please tread with caution; where i feel it necessary, i will apply content warnings, but i often do not feel it necessary. please reach out to me if you have concerns or if you feel that one of my writings was disturbing enough to warrant a tag it did not have.

an additional note somewhat along those lines: i am what might be labelled by some as PROSHIP/PROFIC. while i find categories such as these to be unnecessary and superficial, it may help you define my values in your mind. i am against any and all censorship and will most likely ignore any asks accusing me of writing problematic content. i am ALSO against harassment and abuse of any kind, and i will not tolerate it on this blog or any of my others. while this isn’t particularly relevant to my main blog, i feel the need to clarify it over here.

⭐️ i am very open to receiving asks and requests, as well as to participating in events! if there is anything you would like to know more about or anything specific you would like to see from me, please do let me know! of course i reserve the right to decline for any reason, but feel free to ask.

《 ⭐️enjoy!⭐️ 》

disease.

starvation.

[vineity]

funny how that works out, isn’t it?

[vineity]

& i am alive, & i am alive; if no one sings for me, then i shall sing for myself; & i am alive.

the color yellow // in a glowing sea of ivory moons, there we are, the sickly ugly ducklings, floating along in yellow; there we are, golden as if we were stars, ten thousand burning suns behind our eyes.

it's you. it's you. it's you. it's us.

lullaby for a hurricane // my name says i am youthful, soft; to touch a butterfly's wings is to kill it, but i am still here; still soft, perhaps, still young, but nevertheless & through it all alive, alive, alive; reaching for the stars, i wonder if i deserve a clause for survival.

look at me, now; did you ever think i would make it this far?

calluses // the caress of the sea wears teeth down to opal; the salt is thick and holy; we breathe together through something infinite & living & neither here nor there.

they say that the dulled knife is far more dangerous than the sharpened one, but that, i suppose, is subjective.

sternum // they say blood runs thicker than water; both are holy; i breathe in the smoke; red thread around my wrists, at my throat; chipped jade, old and worn and whispering with stories, pinched between butterfly fingers; joy and prosperity, unraveling, diffusing.

we pray for the empty space between the something; there is where the infinite shall bloom.

silicates // reflecting the light of the universe back into itself, reminding the sun of its beauty & constancy, the moon is not lesser; it is holy; infinite & worn & whispering with stories; neither here nor there but nevertheless & through it all alive, alive, alive; reaching for your smile; it is kind, & in my dreams, i miss you.

i know, i know, i know; would you believe me if i said i was sorry?

green in spite of everything // they ask me to pick a color, red or blue or yellow; in the world of light, green, too, is a primary color; my options are red, blue, yellow; i reach instead for the raining joy of living worlds.

when they trapped us between choices, do you think they remembered that flowers still grow between the cracks of concrete?

science fiction // there are too many stars in the universe for ours to be the only living sun.

the sky will hold our hands, & the air you breathe carries the weight of the many; there is no aloneness in an existence of so many somethings.

sketch of an anatomical heart // and still, i love.

you could tear out my heart, drink my blood, boil my tears, burn my flesh, & still, i shall be here, & still, i shall love.

Writing is a way to give a permanent shape to a fleeting thought.

to a fleeting thought.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[vineity]

to infinity & beyond. ── .✦

rushed little thing from last night, because it was midnight, & i could see the stars, & for a moment i understood what it meant to be in love.

[vineity]

you wake up to tears; you do not understand the difference between exhilaration and fear.

[vineity]

[vineity]

cosmology

I asked you

To teach me about the cosmos

Like you loved me

And you told me

That astronaut means

A sailor of the stars

And you told me

That we are all made of stardust

That we are the universe

Observing itself

And you told me

That the first song we ever sung

On another planet

Was happy birthday

And you told me

That from the moon and back

Is as much blood as our hearts pump

In a lifetime

So

I love you to the moon and back

I asked you

To teach me about the cosmos

Like you loved me

Ad astra per aspera

To the stars through difficulty
