aLLiteration

you linger

on the lining of my mind

so lusciously lascivious,

this limerence

losing the visage

of your face

is a balm;

liniment for the line work

that has been carved

into the limestone corners

dredged from lightning-struck sand

that occupy

the lofty aspirant

of an organ

that is called a heart

so lovely,

with such little levity

it sings, preaching

sincerely and proselytizing

of your lyrical allure

#poetry #young artist #queer artist #alliteration #literary devices #it feels like being in love with love itself #im trying to figure out the best platform to post my work #poem

even intimacy is cheap and fast these days

people wonder why theyre lonely but not putting any effort into cultivating real relationships doesnt help

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

my favorite bit of "rich people are Like That" ephemera that I picked up from my Russian literature binge was from a noble character who was complaining about his serfs neglecting their duties, specifically the duty of staying up all night long slapping the pond water in order to prevent the frogs from croaking so that the nobleman could enjoy his sleep at his country estate with its adorable pond. whenever I hear wealthy people's complaints in this day and age the majority of it automatically filters to "the fucking serfs won't slap the pond anymore and it's honestly so destructive and cruel of them to deny me my beauty sleep like this" type statements

Pub news 😍

So thrilled to finally share this news! The Irresistible Urge will be out in July 2025 (Orbit UK & Berkley (Ace)). More details on my Instagram (brigitteknightley).

My authorial blibbityblurbbity:

THE IRRESISTIBLE URGE is my love letter to slow burn romantasy, with a STEM twist. I can't wait for readers to meet Osric the gentleman assassin (favourite colour: morally grey) and Aurienne, the healer who Doesn't Do Love. This is enemies to lovers in its purest form, featuring forced collaboration, a masochistic slow burn, crime as a bonding experience, reluctant attraction, and graphic violence, as a little treat.

PS. This is a whole new story. The Mortifying Ordeal will continue to pspsps on AO3

the misogyny against rhaenyra kinda baffles me because westerosi vs valyrian tradition yadayada but did they miss the part where a) aegon the conqueror's wives, visenya and rhaenys, were perfectly fearsome and competent warriors in their own right and b) rhaenyra has syrax? like yada yada a true highborn lady wearing only silken gowns and never touching a sword BUT SHE RIDES A MASSIVE FIRE BREATHING LIZARD 💀

like if the westerosi sept and people can accept the targeryan dragonlord valyrian incest because exceptionalism why cant they accept targ woman with a fucking dragon is just above them especially considering targs were considered literally built different

idk man rhaenys and rhaenyra are scary as fuck and i honestly dont get how being a dragon rider doesnt automatically make you a-grade badass queen material

#the worldbuilding is complex #i like it dont get me wrong #it just baffles me sometimes #but maybe thats the point bc inconsistent rules in culture is realistjc #anyway stan the actors of hotd #hotd #house of the dragon #targeryan #old valyrian #syrax #meleys #game of thrones #got #westeros
