Body horror

I am a cyborg because I’m disabled; metal and gears keep me up and moving

I am a vampire because I’m chronically ill; hungry for the life force coursing through people

I am a mummy because I’m disabled; all bandages holding together a failing body

I am a zombie because I’m disabled; all crawling dragging movements

I am disabled because I’m a human. I am a human because I’m disabled

my body is not horrifying so I am not body horror

A co-worker of mine was standing outside with me during a break from customers to share a cigarette with me, and told me about how he had lost his brother that he was close with some years ago. He told me about how they used to be in a band together with some friends, and how ever since he'd died, he hadn't played any music because he'd been too scared and anxious. I told him about how I'd lost my brother to suicide some years ago.

I went home and pulled out an old tiny wooden box my brother had given me before he'd died. I'd been using it to store guitar picks I'd collected over the years, including one guitar pick that used to be his. I haven't played the guitar since he'd died, my hands are too small to play some of the chords, so I play bass and piano instead.

I went to work the next day and gifted my brothers old guitar pick to my co-worker. I told him that it'd been sitting in a box for ten years unused, and would probably sit there for longer if I kept it there. Told him that I thought he deserved to have it, because I bet he could put it to better use than I ever would. Told him I didn't feel like it was coincidence that me and him would cross paths with each other in our lives, and that it seemed suiting that we had these similar experiences but split in two halves. That somehow, I felt like he was meant to have the guitar pick. I told him that I knew he'd not played guitar since his brother died, but that if he ever decided to play again one of these days, maybe he'd be able to honor both of our brothers by using that guitar pick.

He almost cried. He thanked me. Then he went home that night and for the first time in years he played the guitar.

I don't know what the meaning of life is or what my purpose is, but I do believe that love and human connection is one of the most important things in life. It's finding ways to tell strangers you love them and share experiences with others. I think it's all just about love.

Hey hello. Consider. Hobie reading over and suggesting edits to drafts of Peter's writing and then going home visually with clippings and quotes from said writing as a part of him. Alternately, Peter takes inspiration from quotes visible on Hobie

heart on your sleeve…..

#spider man: across the spider verse #spider punk #spider noir #hobie brown #noirpunk #noirpunk discord was chatting abt words on hobie’s university signature reflecting his thoughts which i’ve done before lol #hobie gives me the opportunity to be obnoxious abt poetry <333 #oh how i love them #thank you anon!!! i rlly appreciate people leaving lil ideas in my inbox #even if it takes a while for me to figure out how they’ll work #but it’s so much fun and it’s so sweet and i’m so glad people think of me to share their ideas!!#they’re both writers except parker usually sticks with prose #and hobie with song lyrics so i believe in my heart of hearts #that they are both SHIT at poetry #(yeah song lyrics are poetry but the structure/vibe is way different lol)#poetry is something they almost unconsciously start to practice together/for each other #type of nerds to be like ‘aw this is such a sweet love poem… you spelled this wrong and repeated this phrase already—‘

Hey there, love

I'm Sirius and this is my attempt at an intro post. anyway, you can call me siri ;)

pick any pronouns from: he/she/they || I'm genderfluid || INFJ

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Sooooooo, if you wanna know, here it goes

Gonna tell you there's a part of me that shows, if we're close

Gonna let you see everything

But remember that you asked for it

I'll try to do my best to impress,

But it's easier to let you take a guess at the rest

But you wanna hear what lives in my brain and my heart

Well, you asked for it

For your perusin', at times confusin'

Hopefully amusin', introducing me<3

I've never

really been into cars,

I like really cool guitars and superheroes

And checks with lots of zeros on 'em

I love the sound of violins

And makin' someone smile

(yes I just inserted a disney song to introduce myself. go listen to it if you want it's called Introducing Me by nick jonas)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

my life motto is "do no harm but take no shit". That's right, I have my wise moments.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I'd say this mood board just about sums up my personality, except, as all humans are, I'm obviously more complex than that.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

@her-midas-touch is a poet and wrote this for me hehe:

Run out of metaphors great enough, my fingers paint a wraith

To faint to capture essence, mere shimmery traces of feelings

Every cheshire cat smile, every whirlwind idea, every leap of faith for every apathetic eye, missing the moment, is a soul

that sings

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Bought and sold and traded so many fantastic zines this weekend and honestly my favourite interaction I had was with a very shy but very very determined kid who asked politely if I'd like to trade them one of my angry political transgender poems for some drawings they did in class. I will treasure it forever it was so cute this kid has such a fun scrappy art style and I look forward to seeing them at future zine fairs with more little drawings. Weird queer accessible inclusive art fairs you have my heart always and forever 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

#other highlights:#woman who saw my against me! shirt and came over again 3hrs later to give me a list of other queer punk bands #the fact my partner went away from the table to get us lunch and immediately got handed a chick tract by some street preacher #which then became a bonding moment with someone who makes polyamorous blackout poetry from the bible and wants to turn #their old purity ring into a leather choker #the person who chatted about my late great aunt's poetry with me and gifted me a moomin badge he made #the no fewer than four people who gave me queer werewolf recommendations #the person who specifically bought my spooky queer poem for their friend because quote 'he keeps fucking getting haunted and needs to stop'#every single person who upon picking up my 'a trans person used this bathroom' free stickers and having me say that i want #to see those in every bathroom in scotland solemnly and excitedly promised to carry out this mission

man. I'm just one guy on the internet, but seeing such blatant environmental warfare used against striking union members doesn't get me excited about "tree law," as this great opportunity to see justice for the proletariat

the act is done. those trees will be stressed, susceptible to disease, and forced to endure heatwaves. those trees may die and the only consequence will be more capital exchange

doesn't anyone else see? we share the same world, the same fate, the same struggle with those trees. in some ways, we are the same

and when men come to cut you down, their shears will give all the permission they need

#tree law #wga strike #sag strike #union strong #feeling a lot of feelings and needed to do some impromptu nonfiction poetry #Nazi punks fuck off btw #this is not about Jews this is about the very real media corps oppressing strikers and denying them a crumb of wage equity #liberals wake up and see what's going on #fellow colonizers see harm against nature to hurt people as the evil it is not just “for” people #anyhow I've had enough I'm gonna go get high

Simple Terms

I am a corpse in my own bed

My muscles rot beneath my skin, but I cannot move them back to health

My teeth decay behind my lips, but I cannot scrub the plaque away

My room smells of sickness and stink, but I cannot clean the clothes off my floor

Bugs crawl over and bite into my body, but I cannot flick them off me

For I, in simple terms, am dead

I try to distract myself from my body, the one that has failed me so

I listen to podcasts and music, and watch horror and romcoms

But the pain and stinging of my eyes and bones bring me to

And I remember all over again that I am simply stuck in my room

And I continue to feel as my ribs collapse onto my lungs until I sleep

I don’t think you would know that I am dead if you looked at me

I look healthy, my skin a reddish pale and my eyes a simple brown

But, if you get close enough, you can smell the disease under my skin

Though you may not understand the extent to which it burrows through my guts

You will know

I tell my friends and my partner that I am ill, and forever will be

They nod and offer to help me, tell me it's okay if I walk slowly or need a rest from the ache

They may know, but they cannot understand, not really

The person they love is dead

And I do not have the heart to tell them

My body moves like the twitch of nerves from a long dead bug or squid

A leg spasm that clicks my knees awfully, or an arm jerk that knocks a mug to the floor

I am deceased, yet still filled with an awful excuse for life and movement

Lifeless, yet still breathing, however ragged and painful the breaths may be

I should be six feet under, but the dire grip of dirt has yet to encase me in its love

Death has long since touched me with his skeletal hands, though only a tap on the shoulder

My body knows I am dead, just not my mind, which clings to ideas of jumping and exercise

I do not wish to be dead, or to be buried, but it is my calling and it is my inevitability

I am a cadaver being pulled by strings of my own making, but I cannot cut them off

For my limbs are too heavy and too hollow, and the wire will cut my skin if I touch it with frail hands

I am happy in this existence, in a way I would have never expected

I have help, though not from the people I should have, and cover my sickness with smiles

But smiles cannot change the future of my declining form

I am in a constant state of pain and loose tissue

And it hurts, and it aches

And I scratch, and I pull

And I cannot step, and I cannot push

So I lay, lifeless as a carcass, just some old human remains that move weakly back and forth

I go to school, and I have fun, however much my own body and the world that denies my access angers me

The rot fills my bones as I write, and my fingers tire heavily, so

I will stop my painful tapping, on my dark keyboard, now, and lay in my bed, a corpse within it.

#this poem is about chronic illness #please do not make it about anything else /srs #chronic illness #chronic pain #cpunk #cripple punk #heds #hypermobile ehlers danlos #hypermobile eds #original poem #poem #poetry #I hope other chronically ill people see this and are able to relate #my love goes out to all of you <3 #body horror #bugs #death

@pocket-size-cthulhu

I'm making a separate post bc I kind of sent myself down a rabbit hole. I wanna clarify that I am a Big Hozier Fan and that most country music is a different lyrical ballpark entirely bc of the nature of the genre. (If I had to describe it I'd say it's more literal and storytelling than the whole, like, in-the-woods poetry thing hozier's got going on.)

Anyway I tried to find some that have the same kind of poetry to them or at least aren't about dirt roads and, like, alcoholism. (this is very hard to do there are so many songs about drowning your sorrows in alcohol. I think maybe that's a bad thing but what do I know about songwriting)

Zach Bryan - Something in the Orange

Ryan Bingham - Wolves

Deana Carter - Strawberry Wine

Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey

Brooks and Dunn - Neon Moon

Uncle Lucius - Keep The Wolves Away

Juice Newton - Angel of the Morning

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down

The Band Perry - All Your Life

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance

Josh Turner - Would You Go With Me

I also have a few that I think just have generally clever lyrics that you probably won't enjoy very much if you don't like country music:

Rodney Atkins - If You're Going Through Hell

Sugarland - It Happens

Jessica Andrews - Who I Am

Billy Currington - People are crazy

Blake Shelton - Honeybee

Tim McGraw - Just to See You Smile

#text post #if you dont like any of these that is also fine #this is more about proving country music is about more than hot women and beer and trucks even if thats all ur gonna hear on the radio lol #also i appreciate that u asked for suggestions I love forcing music on others bc I steal other people's song tastes all the time #big reason why I'm on a punk music kick rn #and why I was super into dsbm the past few months #trying to get back into pop to spice up my regular playlist but the farthest I've gone is like. chance the rapper and kanye so getting there #i digress #I think especially the something in the orange will appeal to a hozier fan #most of these are straight picked for having pretty lyrics a la poetry so a lot of them are slow and sad #not on purpose tho thats just how country music is #also theres something to be said about how hozier is like catholic symbolism where country music is mostly protestant #so theres a lot of god gave me you the devil's out to get me instead of youre the light of my life and my sole source of divinity

"folkpunk is so #goblincore #trashcore its all grimy grody men with slimy guitars" cool. actually i think this genre mostly populated by poor, poc, and/or queer people shouldnt be associated with. grossness. actually.

#as someone who grew up poor and queer i need rich white queers to kindly fucking Stop please?#i love folk punk. i love how. real it feels compared to other genres.#and id . really appreciate it if people stopped treating it like a silly funny life to be in.#most folk punk or midwest emo or whatever you wanna call it is very clearly about growing up with a Struggle.#most songs youll find in the genre are about struggles with mental health #growing up poor facing abuse facing homo/transphobia #the hardships you face being a minority #and . i dunno. the people calling it like . gross and grimy feels. really. bad #when i was little id write songs. in my rat infested almost condemed house. i struggled a lot with duh being poor i was young and autistic #i was a lesbian and i struggled with it. i was expieriencing delusions bc i couldnt handle my reality. i was being abused and neglected.#and music and poetry were my outlets. and i dunno. imagining myself look that little girl in the eye and telling her shes gross. shes grimy #and stinky shes a little trash goblin what the fuck ever. that kind of genuinely makes my skin crawl.

do not mistake my kindness

for weakness,

or immaturity,

or naïvety.

my kindness is born,

from lashing tongues

and knives against my heart.

my kindness is a choice,

made due to the suffering,

others have put me through.

i am kind because,

i have been treated unkindly.

i have been hurt -

but i refuse to hurt.

i am kind because

when i remember what happened to me,

i never want another to feel the way i did.

i sand down my sharpened edges,

i cover my claws,

and am careful with my fangs.

i keep my sharp parts covered.

but they are still there.

i am well aware of,

the harm i can do,

the pain i can cause.

and i choose to keep others safe

from the parts of me that can cause pain,

the part that wants to see others hurt

the way i was.

my kindness is a choice,

made consistently out of strength.

my kindness makes me stronger.

my kindness does not make me less capable of causing pain.

it just makes me more aware of what can cause pain.

do not tempt me to remove the restraints,

do not tempt me to bare the sharpened edges,

do not tempt me to bite or scratch.

you will not like what you get.

my kindness is a choice,

that makes me more dangerous

when i am cornered.

do not put me in a situation

where i feel the need to drop my kindness.

you will not like what you find.

my kindness does not make me weak.

#ceph writes #poetry #idk we don't think this is any good but wanted to share it anyways #in this world the most punk thing you can be is excessively kind and we make that choice every single day #and it's so fucking hard but we refuse to quit #but sometimes we think about how many times we've been pushed to the limit and even the times we've been shoved past it #and we've snapped at and hurt people because we were being hurt #and then they react like we're the only ones in the wrong...#idk it fucks us up #didn't mean to vent in the tags oops

the real reason that pop punk/emo bands sound bad now is bc they stopped making their own t-shirts

#also none of them have clothing lines anymore both pete and frank had clothing lines #they were all into art/poetry not seeing that from these new people (mgk)#mcr #warped tour #emo #pop/punk #early 2000s #my chemical romance #post-hardcore #post hardcore #late 90s #skate and surf #clandestine industries #frank iero #pete wentz

Who is your boyfriend? How is one to play such a part? You who came to us, and offered the position, ought to know. We were asked, “would you like to be my boyfriend?” and I said yes. Who is “I”? How does one become Him? Such an explanation was never offered.

How are the two of us to share a psyche under these conditions? Perhaps you do not realize how high the barrier of entry truly is to your Respect. At every turn one meets a trait that “cannot be taken seriously,” often a trait of Mine! How could you possibly love someone you don’t even like? And all without even the slightest hint as to who you would Take Seriously, so that it could become Him.

You are a horrible matinée audience. Rest assured that the play is much better when the actors are not being pelted with tomatoes from the very start.

[but instead it said “I would feel more comfortable if we were just friends” and that was good enough]

#poetry #subtle misgendering as a literary device #tw misgendering #see when people in movies struggle to understand Love™️ it’s always about courtship etiquette #meanwhile it trys to devise ontological definitions for the divine poetry of the soul #the self is a performance you see. yet also inherent to each individual. that is what is meant by ‘expressing oneself’#but all art must be veiwed though the correct lense #otherwise it is all just color shape and sound without meaning. so too must the self #if you are classical music you mustn’t love someone who looks at you and expects to find punk music #they will be disappointed. and so ultimately will you #…#this is why xenogenders are so necessary for the entity’s self expression. we do technically present ourself as ‘masculine’#but xenogenders provide a way to express what we feel before our self perception can be translated into universally understood terms #personally we could only be loved if our lover understood us the same way #and found us delightful for those reasons #we didn’t mean to ramble on in the tags like this
