if you can’t handle richard siken at his “i also want to get bruce wayne pregnant” you don’t deserve him at his “everyone longs for a father figure. even those with fathers. even fathers. that’s why we invented god.”

Richard Siken continues to kill it on twitter. He just explained why his poetry is so popular in tumblr graphics - "you can take any of my quotes and apply them to any fandom or picture and they will work because they are sad and mopey and full of longing" and then proceeded to demonstrate this. With cat pictures. With lines of his poetry slightly altered to be lol cat speak.
(from his twitter thread here)
People are doing their own versions in response and he is complimenting them.
