I'm seeing lots of speculation in the wake of the unwanted guest about whether absorbing Loveday's soul is what made Cytherea snap and sure, I see the theory, but personally as a cancer survivor I have never ever questioned why Cytherea snapped

Cancer is an existentially terrifying, often debilitatingly painful and/or exhausting illness, that, if not cured, takes over your body bit by bit, gets into the highly essential bits which increases the suffering and/or fundamentally changes you as a person, makes you extremely vulnerable and dependent on others, and almost inevitably kills you unless you get it when you're old enough and die of old age first instead. Its treatment is often just as painful and exhausting as the illness, or even more so, and doesn't always work. When you have cancer, there are two ways out: being cured (preferable) or, when that is not an option, deciding for yourself when you have reached the point where the suffering is so bad and the outlook so non existent that you would rather die now rather than later after even more and worse suffering.

And John took both of those options away from Cytherea and from her entire line of descendants. When he had the option to cure them all all along. Idk about y'all but the revelation in Nona that John could cure cancer was the number one earth shattering realisation for me. He did this to her, and to the entire Seventh House, on purpose.

This is the first giant betrayal to me. For generation after generation, for TEN THOUSAND YEARS, this man let the heirs of the Seventh House be sick for functionally their entire lives, likely starting in childhood, go through an incalculable amount of painful and exhausting experimental treatments bc he didn't even bring modern medicine into his New Order, and die in their twenties or thirties at best, when he could have STOPPED THIS ALL ALONG with little more effort than snapping his fingers.

Second big betrayal is towards Cytherea herself, but basically the same point : he could have cured her at any time. Before she became Lyctor, possibly, since we're not sure how static Lyctor bodies are, but Mercy's powers, Harrow's lobotomy and Ianthe's arm suggest that it would have been an option afterwards too. And he didn't. He let her have cancer for TEN THOUSAND years without curing her. And he calls himself her friend. Absolutely fuck that bastard.

Third big betrayal is the same betrayal that he inflicts on all the other Lyctors, but imo worse bc of Cytherea's illness. It seems from the books that Lyctors are, if obv not functionally immortal, at least Very Difficult to kill. Consequently, John demands Cytherea's loyalty not only in the form of killing the person she loves the most in the world, but in the very same act, in the form of cutting off the One escape route she has left out of the suffering he's purposefully keeping her in. In short, he takes the one person away from her who she perhaps doesn't resent depending on and, in the same act, makes it A Lot more difficult for her to choose euthanasia. (There's meta in this about the deeply realistic and also Terrifying ableism of John "admits openly that he'll pay any price so the people he loves can't leave him" making his sick friend dependent on him by keeping her sick, taking away her (arguable) main caretaker and cutting her off from the option of leaving him by dying.)

And at the same time that the other Lyctors realise John's betrayal re: their cavaliers, Cytherea potentially realises ALL OF THIS. TEN THOUSAND years of suffering, of seeing her House suffer, on top of losing the person she cares about the most, and ALL OF IT was avoidable, and not just avoidable but EASY TO AVOID? Is it any wonder she went on a rampage to bring down John and everything he cared about and had worked towards, and that she didn't care about dying at the end (or, perhaps, was even counting on that outcome)? I had cancer (as an aware adult) for a year in the best imaginable circumstances and am still fucked up about almost a decade later. After TEN THOUSAND YEARS and learning there had been another option all along, I'd have done WAY WORSE than Cytherea. I really don't think she needed to absorb anyone's soul to get there. It is, in my opinion, a deeply understandable and realistic reaction.

#Like yeah I don't think she should have killed innocents but TEN THOUSAND YEARS #No wonder the end is worth the means to her #the locked tomb #cytherea loveday #cytherea the first #TLT spoilers #Apparently I'm making a habit of writing entire essays about OG Lyctors I relate to on some form #Don't come at me about Magical Cures.

For the most recent post doing my ask about Maui! (5/12/21, or 12/5/21 for the American date system I think)

Yes!! With these types of oc's they are generally parts/all of you and that can help you figure a lot of stuff out, alternatively people make oc's the opposite of themselves because of self esteem issues!! Maui is simultaneously someone I want to be, someone I do not ever want to be, and someone to help me work through my problems efficiently if I remember he exists (kinda)

It's nice being able to imagine yourself in experiences that you will never know, without it being you. I find it quite pleseant, myself.

Yes!! More characters need poor memory!! Like yeah it's more work on the author but still, I find that it'd be much more realistic to have a character forget about the Important Object entirely and make it work with literally everything else and realise hours later that it could've been so much easier

And u don't hold that against you for his name!! A lot of people do!! I just happen to vaguely remember the stories we were told in primary school and remembered this kid in primary (He was kind of a dick but whatever) called Maui. And it depends on the day!! Mostly!! He went through a real rough patch where he was basically drugged up for a while after his wife died and had a general disdain for the law when he was younger (2nd/3rd time, I'm still revising everything with this so it's all subject to change), but he is definitly getting better and going to therapy. He is definitly leaning towards chaos incarnate but full of love (I wouldn't call him stupid but his smart is the hyperfocus kind of smart so he is really only intelligent when it comes to machines and small other things but for the most part there are no thoughts. Like he is absolutly a genius, he could probably cure cancer kind of genius, but he cannot comprehend normal life properly. Everything is too loud and he wants tk do everything at once or nothing at all and sometimes he wants to do something but he can't and either starts things much too early or finishes them right before the deadline, or hyprfocuses on his machines.) But yes!! He would give off big himbo vibes. Like even if he looked all tough and scary it would immediatly be remidied by his almost comical love for his pocket mirror and his general politeness. He thinks he's figured out social situations.

Ok so the mother didn't care about him and that was like. Her big drug rage because he looks quite similar to his dad who called her out on her bullshit and left without another word and was. Not very sane. By the time she was sober enough to realise what she did, Maui had stopped the bleeding with his knowledge of basic first aid and snuck out of the house to the town healer (No emergency services unfortunately, and no growing limbs back, either) and had started to work on his metal arm. Why did he have to go straight to prosthetics? Because he all but ran after his mum did that and has no clue what she did with his arm.

As for the world he's in, I'm imagining it's a sort of prehistory thing but all accounts of magic being able to be used have been destroyed and are. Long gone. I'll have to send in another ask explaining what I've done with the world so far but yeah. The short of it is: Magic is the life-force/soul that sustains every living thing and a civilization figured out how to use it to their advantage, either through some being able to use their own life force to create these miracles, or by combing the forces of others into potions and foods. Maui (named Viktor when he was a child the first time round) was born with the ability to do magic and accidently learnt how to make his machines come to life. The full extent of it was lost to him, all he cares about was that he could zap his inanimate bird and then it would fly around and generally live, even if he felt very drained and somewhat naustious afterwards. Maui directly ties into how this civilization fell, but that's for the other post.

And yeah!! Honestly I would love the occasional magic creature. Just animals in general. And yes!! Building your own family is great!! Found family with machines and magical creatures. And yeah, Maui went "Welp, if it's gonna take up all of my thoughts all day every day then I might as well get money from it." and he did. Probably not legally for the first lot of it, but he did. And steampunk is so cool!! I dknt know many punk aesthetics but I like that one a lot. Solarpunk sounds like a vibe, imma go look up what it is real quick after I send in this ask!

And yess, children need to be protected at all costs.

I only vaguely remember that kid now but!! He is so cute!! Also the embodiment of Maui trying to make scones!! He has no clue why, but he just can't make them. If they're underbaked, he puts them in the oven to keep baking, but then they burn. If they aren't underbaked, they're burnt. On the rare occasion they aren't underbaked or burnt, they always taste horrible and that is enough to quell Maui's celebrations. The worst attempt was the time that he basically turned scones into rocks, buried them, came back a few years later and they hadn't decomposed! It's a fun story for him to tell. He keeps them in a glass case in his walk in closet.

And yes, why wouldn't this kid have to microwave them longer, if they're smoking then that means they're close to melting, you should have let him microwave them longer /j

Oh, he's tried being shorter all right! He did not succeed. But he tried! He's gotten so used to it that he barely notices it anymore. He just bonks his head into the door frames and carries on. Obviously he's paid for his doorframe to be taller, but for everywhere else...

I hope it does too! I do want to make it legitimate but still keep it fitted in with everything. I feel like he'd be quite insecure about it and feel a sense of resentment everytime he saw it so he would do everything in his power to forget, but with time he comes to drop all the things he uses to hides it and just accepts his arm. I forgot that researching was a thing that I could do but I will deifnitly do it and his arm will probably be revised somewhat! But for now, whenever he meets friends of friends he has a nice time of shaking their hand and subtly detaching his arm and leaving them holding onto it, he's got a slip that makes it look and feel like a real arm. Or it's magic. I haven't decided.

Ayyy, forgetful buddies! I forgot I even sent in this ask!! Oh, I'm sure he has lost it in the bathroom before. I say lsot but he jsut forgot he left it there. He probably took it off to shower and left it on the sink and walked right passed it once he was finished. He freaked out once he realised, though, and eventually found it.

I don't know what noodle vibes mean but for the rest, absolutly. His favourite places to just flop down and sleep include his couch and outside on the grass. If he is tired and his body let's him sleep, he sleeps. Doesn't matter where.

Pets!! More characters in published media need pets. Like average pets. Like a cat or a bird or something. Like, even of its a magical cat. Cats basically teleport anyway so I don't see the big deal. And yes!! He loves his lizard and cat!! And he often ignores the legality of something, for better or for worse

Aww, so she's like the lizard then. Except the vocal bit. But ahhh she sounds amazing!! I love it!! Bart is purposefully chaotic and is probably the incarnation of evil but is quick to comfort Maui if he's upset and will jump into Hemo's enclosure to drag him over to help.

I will tell him! He would be very happy to teach you and would frantically shove lots of blueprints in your arms and keep blabbering about it and forgetting to pause for a breath, and would try slow down and clarify anything if need be.

Yeah, I think I'm slowly figuring out my style! Writing isn't something I do often so I think it's going a lot slower than drawing, but that's ok! It makes sense! And yeah, I'm almost scared to lock him into a storyline and make things about him 'canon', I like the fluidity I have with him, but I do also want to share an authentic him with the world! But that requires a lot more planning about the type of world he would be in and how he would fit into the story. Maybe I could just write a bunch of au's about him next to the main story. I can be my own fandom.

Also wow this is so long! I have spent more than 40 minutes on this!! Its truly a feat of mine. And yeah!! You've been busy and have other asks to get to, so that all makes sense! And yay!! Also I have revised the writing I did of Maui from the outside and made it generally more comprehensible but this ask is getting long so I'll just put it in its own ask.

And yes!! It's fun!! I'm someone who grows attached to a character so making more than one meaningful character is hard, but yeah!! I birthed him with my thoughts and words!! My advice would to try do some of those '40 questions for/about my character' if you haven't already! I don't think I've done one for Maui but it would be fun, I think

-Heathen

heathen! hello! It has been a fair amount of time since you sent this in, so thank you for your patience. Also, how dare you put dates on these and reveal to the world just how far in the past some of my asks are /j (this one is my oldest aside from oh shit just remembered two in my drafts. well, aside from those this is my oldest so they're not all this old!!)

(also i'm putting this under a cut to save space)

Honestly I think the best way to write characters is if they are a part of you, regardless of whether you want to be them or not. it helps when writing them so much to be able to understand the reasons they do the things they do, even if it's a part of yourself you don't like very much. People are patterns! People are consistent, even if you can't find the pattern or recognize your own patterns. So even if you don't like it, finding a pattern and creating one to build a character or their traits off of is so helpful, and can even be cathartic, to give your issues to someone who doesn't exist and let them act according to the patterns, and then learn from them without the irl consequences. I could give so many examples but I don't want to take up space.

And it is really nice to imagine people like you in scenarios you won't be in. It's like ah...the possibility. I personally don't like to include myself in my daydreams--it feels wrong--but sprinkling pieces of myself into the world and the characters and their decisions and their interests, it's like I am the daydream. I'm not just a character in it, but everything about that world and the people in it are mine and something about that is very thrilling.

Characters with poor memory my beloved!! there are some situations where it doesn't make sense--like kotlc and Sophie with her photographic memory--but otherwise, people have awful memories a lot of the time and it would be interesting to see how that affects the story when the character can't just suddenly put together the clues at a really dramatic time. Or to see the different ways they work in order to deal with their memory. Just a few hours ago I realized I needed to bring a form to a place tomorrow, and that in order to bring it there it needed to be in my bag. but it was on the desk. So I had to within moments of realizing that take initiative to put it near my bag and on top of objects that are essential for me leaving the house tomorrow so I wouldn't forget it. it all came down to like five seconds, and it would be nice to see characters do that too!!

also wow you threw a lot of information at me right there and I am still processing all that but--he had a wife?? I don't know why that stands out to me so much I guess he seems younger in my brain, but congrats--wait no something bad happened to his wife not congrats. I'm glad he's getting help that works for him, though! "chaos incarnate but full of love" is my brain on a regular basis. I'm sure I'm not nearly as chaotic as Maui, but I will appreciate from afar as he wreaks havoc on the world entirely by accident. And being really smart about really specific things is an entirely vibe and I love it!! Though the trying to do things but brain says you can't is always annoying to deal with, so hopefully he's not suffering too much. You really went "he is incredibly neurodivergent" and I think that's incredible <33 I'm curious what makes him fond of his pocketwatch tho--

his mother is...definitely something! I'm wondering how long that drug induced rage was if he had time to do all that and also literally start building himself a replacement arm before she came down from it. I don't know a lot about recreational (or in this case maybe escapist) drug usage, but I feel like that would be...a very long high. But all that to say that's an intense childhood for Maui, like damn my dude do you need a hug??

and worldbuilding!! yay!! that's one of my favorite things to look at in a story: the world it's set in or has been created for it. From what you're saying so far, it sounds incredible! A world based on magic that can be harnessed and is tied to at least one person if not more. I won't get into all of it as you said you would send another, so I'll save my enthusiasm for there!! I can't remember at the moment if you have sent it, but either way!!

magical creatures are just yes all around. I mean, normal creatures are cool too, but like magic!! I love magic and fantasy and the impossible!! and just all the ways magical creatures can exist is so satisfying and fascinating and I love them,,so much. Found family that includes a magical creature is something that can actually be so personal. I'm glad he was also able to make money do what he enjoys, even illegally! honestly sometimes we all just gotta let loose and commit a few crimes. Petty theft, money laundering, tax evasion, you know (/j). I don't know a lot about punk aesthetics either, but I do know I enjoy them a lot and when looking at all the different kinds I agree with solarpunk ideology the most (and also like the aesthetic). But if I start talking about i'll take up a lot of space and also there are many people with a lot more knowledge than me!! Though I do hope to learn more when I can

characters who had really rough childhoods seeing children and deciding to do what they can to prevent another child from experiencing what they did....oh I love them so much. I have a few ocs like that and it's !! there's something about becoming the person who could've saved you when you were hurting that just so satisfying and evocative. Even when expressed through scones!! I will be honest i never understand the appeal of characters that are bad at cooking/baking because like...follow the recipe? You have a specific set of instructions to follow and then you'll get the result you want how are you messing that up. But you do you!! I hope Maui enjoys his not decomposed scones in a class case in the closet. that's a very specific detail of his character but I love it!!

(also the whole house smelled like smoke and that kid was just like ah yes let's do the exact same thing to see if it will solve the problem. I haven't seen those kids in forever but I jokingly told them that birds were their cousins and kept bringing it up and apparently they were repeating that even months later...maybe I shouldn't be around kids)

The benefits of being short: you can always increase your height! The benefits of being tall: ???? bonk. I hope he doesn't bonk his head too often, or that he has like a helmet he can wear when he's in public to absorb the shock of the bonk.

also slipping off his arm so that other people are holding it when they shake hands is incredible. just the absolute power that holds like..I am in awe. I don't know how much if any research you've done since you sent this but!! I hope it goes/is going well! I'm kinda in a similar situation with the wings au because I'm trying to make Dex's wings authentic to how prosthetics work in the human world so as not to erase that, while also acknowledging that his is an entirely different species that does everything different and so things would be different. Either way I wish you luck!

Forgetful buddies!! Sometimes things are super important and you're constantly trying to find ways to remember what they are, while other times it's just *shrug* and wait for it to come back to you. At any given point in time I assume there's something I'm forgetting or supposed to do that I'm not and I've just accepted it at this point. I don't think I've ever forgotten my arm in the bathroom, but I wouldn't put it past myself to do exactly that.

excellent news I also don't know what noodle vibes means. i just know it is correct and that he has them. as for sleeping anywhere...well at least he's sleeping!! that's something. Hopefully he's also well-rested, but he might be too chaotic to be. or, he's the kind of person who has the same amount of energy no matter how long he sleeps and can get through an entire day just fine on 4 hours of energy (though usually it starts to catch up with you towards the end in my experience as one of these people)

pets! more characters need them, and as a cat person I would very much like more characters to have cats whether they're magical or not. Dogs are fine they just...they make a lot of noises that really mess with me and I cannot!! process that!! I really wish I could but the moment a dog starts barking and growling I want to throw them off a cliff or strangle them to get the noise to stop, and since I can't then I just zone out really hard until they're quite. Cats do not make the icky dog sounds though!!

I'm glad you seem to like my cat! I happen to have a fondness for her, and Bart sounds incredible as well. I do not know a lot about Bart but I love him and wish him the best in his endeavors of being Maui's pet. that cannot be an easy task

I may not understand anything Maui says at first or the blueprints but I will listen dutifully along!! as for finding your writing style, that can take a while so the more you write the more opportunities you have to explore the language!! and even though put him to words can feel like locking him down, sometimes it helps to remember that drafts exist and this is just the first time you're writing it. You could write it 50 more times if you needed to! You can always go back and change things in your quest to share him with the world. And nothing is stopping you from writing your own aus!! I've done something kinda similar with an original story of mine where I take different characters and put then in other worlds and stories to experiment with how I want to write them, but it's not canon in the slightest. those two don't belong in space I just put them there temporarily.

and yep this is pretty long!! I've spent about 65 minutes answering it!! though parts of that were me getting distracted and doing other things for a minute or two but!! that's not the longest I've ever spent on an ask but it's up there. and I think I saw that you sent me the writing you mentioned, so I'll answer that later! I don't know exactly when as I'm trying to balance many things and asks at the moment, but I will get to it!

I also get very attached to specific characters and worlds. I have this whole set of like six or seven ocs that I really want to write about but whenever I start to think about them I get drawn back to this otehr group of five and i'm like wait, brain, the other people!! I'll get to them eventually though. And I might look at some of those questionaires!! Those characters are in need of some heavy remodeling, so i'd definitely need some of those basic questions to start over with.

this was a lot of information but thank you for sharing!! it's wonderful to learn more about maui and you at the same time!!

#ocs go brrr #hearing about yours always makes me wanna work on mine #I never do but the desire is there #one day I will get back to them...#I have like over 100.000 words about them and still I know so little #I have vague ideas though #but thank you for all the maui information!!!#you're more than welcome to talk about him and his world anytime #quil's queries #heathen nonsie #other's ocs

Stoners.. piss me off..

When ever the topic of legalization comes up, certain stoners are quick to pull out "weed helps people with seizures and cancer" which.. conflates the issues and creates dangerous implications.

Most the time when the miracles of weed are brought up in the arguments of recreational use.. which it should be separate. If you want to talk about how THC should be able to be used as treatments for certain conditions then do that. If you want to talk about how weed is less harmful than alcohol and should be leagalized for recreational use, then do that. But the both don't belong together. Medicine is medicine. And if you want to preach how great of a medicine it can be, then treat it with the respect of a medicine. When people argue for recreational use and cite it's medical benefits with such extreme cases such as cancer, the lines become blurred and it implies "if weed is good for people with CANCER then it's good for everyone so it should be legal 😊" which is just wrong.

Also the word "weed" is slang. It has specific cultural implications that don't belong in a discussion of medical use. What's actually helping people? THC? CBD? These are chemicals that can more precisely indicate what your advocating for. Like, a doctor doesn't prescribe someone "blues", theyre subscribing oxycodone (no I'm not saying weed is as bad as oxys just an example how our slang has different implications)

And then you get the people who might not pull the cancer card in their debates, but the anxiety one. Which, a lot of what I said still applies, a medicine is a medicine and you should keep it separate from the recreational argument. But they'll say something like "it helps people like me with their anxiety" Which first of all, CBD helps with anxiety and that's legal to buy. But even putting that aside.. what I've noticed with people who say this.. they have never sought other coping mechanisms then weed. And because they haven't, they end up abusing it. Because it's not magic, it doesn't cure anxiety, you can abuse weed. Because using it for anxiety and using it for fun, is the same thing for a lot of people. And frankly I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these people don't have anxiety and just don't want to deal with stressful situations. And both are issues that need professional help, and marijuana MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST THING IN ALL CASES. And I'm not denying that there are people who successfully manage anxiety with the help of marijuana, but what I've described is what I've noticed in people who make these arguments for recreational use.

This sort of line of thought that conflates the two issues creates the situation that I found on Facebook.

The comments are riddled with "Get it grandpa" "420 blaze it" and just praise in the form of jokes that this man tricked people into ingesting a drug without their knowledge. The mentality that makes it fine for these people is what I described, "if it's good for all these medical reasons it's good for everyone". But somehow because they believe it can only be a positive thing, that negates people's right to consent to what they put in their bodies? It's really fucked.

And the thing that really tips me over the edge. That these people will talk about cancer and anxiety for their recreational use arguments. But I have never heard them bring up wrongful incarcerations. People who are unfairly labeled a felon by the government for using/selling a substance that has less harmful side effects than alcohol. And yes, the people I've described are white. They do not care about cancer, seizures or anxiety, they certainly do not care about the PoC who are targeted by these laws, they care about having their drug of choice be more accessible.

So, if you're any of what I described, please, evaluate your relationship with marijuana, evaluate the way you talk about it, evaluate your motives and please stop trying to sell it as snake oil.

The VV Long Poem

im not yet sure who to give this to

whether or not

it should go

from who

to who

but if i do decide to give this to you

would you not

leave or go

to some other who

or who

(hmmm)

i have left this alone

for months on end

an abandoned drone

no one can mend

this poem sucks

but its ok

i dont give two FRiks

so make way,

ill write a book,

a poem, a sonnet,

about a crook

who has stolen a bonnet

he doesn't need it

nobody does

the person who had it

is nothing but fuzz

shes dead and gone

but dont freak out

it was very well done;

hard to carry out

for yes,

she was murdered

a very sad thing?

her life couldnt have been furthered

she ate to much string!

the murder was careful

and as i have said

ex-tre-me-ly dareful

for she is quite dead!

he took her up close

in the seat where she sat

he did something gross

no doubt about that

into her ears

went a long worm

and inside her throat

it did a great squirm

down in her stomach it drew up so tight

and she knew then,

"something's not right!"

her outer waist tightened

her body was done

she was extremely frightened

the crook had won

he went to the fridge

and got out some soup

he tasted a smidge

but it tasted like poop!

he looked for some bread

and sat down to write

a pencil with lead

was what he needed that night

he was a struggling writer

but this bread seemed the thing

that might could inspire!

so here is his poem

you can see its no good

not many people knew him

that's why he loves food

"Bread and butter

butter and bread

milk from an utter

the cows get no cred

i really like food

it makes me fat

it saves my mood

no doubt about that

but most times a slice

isn't always the answer

sometimes mice

come down with cancer

how do i end this

there's no way to be sure

cancers a business

there is no cure..."

well that was depressing

i need a hug

this dude must be stressing

about the blood on the rug

lets not forget

this guy is a killer

he had lost a bet

he didn't want to kill her

he bet, not on money

just for a leaf

the leaf fed the bunny

that belonged to the chief

if that bunny died

he would die too

it would mean he had lied

to Mr Macoo

should i end this now

or just keep going

the magical eyebrow

keeps on glowing

but you don't know about that

because- you shouldn't

there's a murderous cat

with a labeled bullet

if i speak

she will shoot

if i squeak

she'll send The Newt

that's why i write

and never talk

my lips are tight

like I've been licking caulk

….

Its been four months

ive been really quiet

the cat; she still hunts

but im on a diet

so when she comes

i'll be super small

ill hide in the drums

i found at the mall

….

its been six months

she still hasn't showed

but i keep hearing grunts

i might hit the road....

IM FRANTICALLY RUNNING

FROM A CAT WITH A GUN

SHES REALLY QUITE CUNNING

IM REALLY QUITE DONE

i cant run anymore

ill stop for a breath

i see a french door

behind me is death

I RACE AGAIN TO THE DOOR

I DONT KNOW IF ITS SAFE

ITS LIKE A FISH LURE

I THINK ITS FAIL-SAFE

waiting waiting waiting

my hopeful thoughts are fading

waiting waiting waiting

is that Newt skating??

I went through the door

about two minutes ago

something about this floor

makes me want to go

AH!

there's blood on the rug!

could this be it?

i think as i give the big curtain a tug

see! there is the string lady

sitting in her seat

shes looking quite shady

and now so does this street

the cat did prepare

right on park avenue

The Newt chased me here

but didn't pursue

they wanted me to see this

it must be important

the one thing that scares me is

the room is portent

to something scarier than death;

the end of this poem.

i stop to catch my breath...

the room i am in is the one from the start

the old lady cold and dead

the robber so smart

yes, this is the room

where the story began.

When i was filled with gloom

i called up a man

he told me to write

so i wrote about this

at first i was bad

so i quit for months

than i restarted, still sad

and i wrote for months.

soon i felt better,

but others felt worse

they sent me a letter

the first from a nurse

she said i was crude

i said she was rude!

i kept on writing

and still do today

i stay away from the fighting

it leads me astray

i'll end this now

and just to say

the magical eyebrow

has just passed away.

I have written this throughout the year, and only now am I finishing. It is ten pages long!

Thanks to whoever read all the way down!
