I Need All My Favourite Characters To Be More Unhinged.

food and poetry

I have a coworker who is from the same place I used to live in a different country. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She shares her food with me, the food her mother in law made. These delicious meals that are nothing like what I eat at home.

I told her I liked writing and she was thrilled to ‘know a real author’ and it made me so happy. I’m going to print out a short story so she can read it.

She told me that she writes poetry in her native language. I do not have the skill for poetry, and I cannot understand her’s. With food, mouth can taste what she shares with me. With poetry, neither my ears nor eyes can ever understand this though.

the poems already write themselves at this rate.

On a hot air balloon, September 21st 1783

Sheep: Dear heavens, there is fire. What is happening. Rooster: Hey, hey, hey, watch this. Duck: Why are we here Sheep: WHY ARE WE FLOATING?!!! Why am I here?!!! *The sheep was chosen because it was believed to be a reasonable approximation of a human's physiology and psychology*

I imagine the rooster and duck were chosen because, presumably, birds would remain calm when flying in a hot air balloon.

Someone show me a rooster that has ever been calm.

What I love about Jason Todd is that he's angry about his trauma. Life fucked him over and he's rightfully pissed off. We already have "healed from their anger" Dick Grayson and "ignores their emotions" Bruce Wayne. Thank you DC for giving us "hurt and upset and lashing out" Jason Todd.

You deserve a calm love with somebody who's your safe space, your best friend, and brings peace to your soul during stressful times.

Mass-production

Today: Mass-production is the death of quality - a scourge of the modern age! The literal, classical Romans: What are you talking about we love our identical friendship cool army swords

my like primary school art teacher - like we were literal kids - was known to rip up art she didn’t like it front of whoever made it. I was victim to this a few times and it destroyed any growing interest in art I had lol

This is lovely advice.

and I’m giving them all the same issues as me!!! it’s like matching friendship bracelets!!!

I need all my favourite characters to be more unhinged.

I apologise for the person I am going to become

POV: It's 3am, you're sleep-deprived as heck and you see this coming towards you outside the 7/11

Lace-making

Lace-making: So detailed, so fine - such skill shall surely be preserved for centuries to come! The rich: I love this lace and I am rich - so bury me in this The king: Think of the wool trade - I'm making all burial shrouds be woolen by law! Be sheep & do as everyone else does: The lace: Oh hi, I only exist know in old graves - and you don't know how to make me because you chose wool over my beauty The lace: If you stop paying attention to me for even a moment I shall perish like your loved ones I embrace long after you could
