Nothing to rise

In the shadows of these heavy days,

Rising becomes a burdened phase.

Once up, I yearn for slumber's embrace,

Seeking solace in its tranquil space.

My strength depleted, all has fallen,

Scattered chaos, upon the ground.

No vigor to rise, no will to rebound,

Why bother trying, when hope's drowned?

Therapy feels like an endless race,

Yet I'm not mendable, that's the case.

Though lessons learned, relief's not found,

Disappointment reigns, a ceaseless sound.

Not seeking death, but life's a strain,

Longing to vanish, from this earthly plane.

Accepting fate's approach, its somber pound,

My past, a puzzle, never to be unwound.

Therapy's a road, leading nowhere,

Not your fault, you're beyond compare.

I am my wounds, they're deeply wound,

Another path seems a realm, too profound.

So we halt this journey, it's for the best,

Your efforts, noble, put to rest.

I'm safe, I'm okay, in my silent lair,

This choice, the wisest, for my wearied affair.

Love, Laura

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them?#“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years.#thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me.#idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

"ummm the global strike was called on such short notice we need more time to plan ahead this just isn't gonna work it feels like slacktivism :///" hmm lets try to figure out why a palestinian journalist in gaza who has been documenting her own genocide for the past hundred fucking days called for a global strike on short notice during a livestream while the hospital she was sheltering in was being attacked and she believed she was going to be killed that night. lets think about it. lets put our thinking caps on. lets sit down in our thinking chair and think think think

#i saw someone call it slacktivism and i genuinely wonder if they're allergic to critical thinking #like. do you hear how tone deaf you sound. i do not think you do #mine #free palestine #bisan owda #wizard bisan #free gaza #palestine #global strike

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

#tintin #adventures of tintin #comic #captain haddock #archibald haddock #snowy #milou #fanart #the crab with the golden claws #i remember tintin crafting a trumpet to communicate with an elephant #and he remarks he must get the accent correct #very odd scenario but it shows he would be a stickler for that sort of thing #i also have to say accents do not indicate how smart someone is #a lot of pundits use an english accent to sound more credible #but i have to say there are a lot of fucking idiots here #me included #thank you 2011 film for validating my scottish haddock headcanon #any french speakers who have read to this point i wonder what your hcs are for his french speaking accent

>acquaintance mentions that they think a kink is immoral

>ask them if their judgment is based on material reality or constructed disgust

>they don't understand |pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is material reality and what is constructed disgust

>they laugh and say "its a reasonable judgement"

>interact with them a little bit more

>its constructed disgust

Shadows of Resignation

Some days, the world doesn’t spin at all. It’s a black hole, and you feel so much that you can’t control your emotions. You’re so angry at the world that you’ve fled from it, even diving into another universe. You lash out at everyone because they seem to have a fine world. Why doesn’t anyone see that your world is on fire? Why don’t they extinguish it?

But the world always comes back, and then you think maybe the world isn’t the problem, but you are. You notice that no one else seems to be affected; their worlds function just fine—not too fast, not too slow, not too big, not too small. You’re the one who turns the world upside down. It’s better if you’re not on that world and not in the black hole, because you only cause pain to people there, and in the world, people only cause you pain.

The world is a bleak place, its beauty lost to me. Without the spinning core, it is. No one will ever suffer from a world that’s too big or too small anymore, one that’s not on fire, where there’s stability.

And that’s okay—I’m resigned to that fate. The world will stop spinning, and then peace will return. The world will finally have the right size—not too big, not too small—and I won’t need dark power anymore.

I’ll just fade away.

Love, Laura
