Beautiful and thanks for making me cry darling
I rewatched Dead Poets Society a few weeks ago and felt inspired to write this contrapuntal poem :)
afterall, feeling understood is the greatest form of love.
Vita Sackville-West // Unknown
I.. indeed did not finish it before 'intensified school work' but at least I graduated high school with excellent grades.. (slayed too much)
I'm currently reading the secret history and im at like 200pages. I need to finish this before we get into deep school work
whenever fics or headcanons or even (very cute) fanart depicts Will being embarrassed by Hannibal's praise and adoration I'm like take a good LoOk at this bitch:
he would GLOAT, he would stare at a huge framed drawing Hannibal made of him laying naked in the garden that hangs in the middle of the dinning room and be like "hmm yes I look magnificent" and sip his little wine.
Nil desperandum
My place was forever on the scene
Arms swinging and words soaring
But I sadly lost my blue dream..
Those Obscure eyes pierced my heart
Then traced my warped destined path
Are we free? Or indeed Man is confined..
Tied to that thick and long serpent-like rope
He turns around, again and again.. a third last time..
Two last breaths coming out of his mouth.
He flies unbound, finally opens his wings
He looked up to the sky
"It will always be here !" He shouts;
The big lapis canvas invites us finally
To our one true Homeland
Of wine rivers and dripping honey
"Welcome back, my dear." You hear them say;
You're finally in the realm of Poppy and May.

Lamias always on their knees begging smh..

I talked about this in my throat punching post, but I after a recent experience, I thought it would be fun to point out how weak this little bone is. The hyoid is a U-shaped bone that sits above your laryngeal prominence (aka Adam's apple) and behind the jaw. It isn't attached to any other bones, but serves as the attachment site for a lot of muscles in the lower jaw and upper neck. You can palpate it, but be careful! You are capable of breaking your own hyoid bone. It requires 3-4kg (6-7lbs) of squeezing to fracture it. For reference, a human is capable of creating a pinch (index to thumb) strength of 5-8kg (11-17 lbs). Now imagine if someone is getting choked (it's not good).
Hyoid bone fractures can be life threatening, as this bone is important in the structures of the upper respiratory tract (breathing is very important). It can cause pharyngeal and laryngeal spasms, which leads to asphyxiation (you can't breathe). This can be fixed with a tracheotomy and tube placement, but sometimes patients don't know they've broken their hyoid until they can't breathe.
And for the personal experience: I was trying to explain the muscles of the throat to this girl in my anatomy group, and she had no idea what the hyoid was. So I was like "lemme just grab it real quick and let her feel it." I was a bit pissed off, I'll admit, when I did that. So I grabbed that bone pretty roughly and just snapped that motherfucker like the wishbone of a chicken. I knew it was tender, but holy shit it has no integrity. It turns out I was right all these years for having an fear of people grabbing my neck.
I watched this beautiful 1930's movie and I recommend it sooo much ! It was beautiful.. It's called Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (maybe i'm just a little biased because Gary Cooper was such a fine man)
So relatable but i wanna do the opposite! Like focus on philosophy and art and stuff instead of biology and physics since thats already like.. my uni major?
How i feel after saying i want to study mathematics knowing im dedicating my life to writing novels and reading and creating art and poetry and knowing various philosophers extensively
