"Vertigo" by Alice Oswald

May I shuffle forward and tell you the two minute life of rain Starting right now lips open and lidless-cold all-seeing gaze When something not yet anything changes its mind like me And begins to fall In the small hours And the light is still a flying carpet Only a little white between worlds like an eye opening after an operation. No turning back each drop is a snap decision A suicide from the tower-block of heaven. And for the next ten seconds The rain stares at the ground Sees me stirring here As if sculpted in porridge Sees the garden in the green of its mind already drinking And the grass lengthening Stalls … Maybe a thousand feet above me A kind of yellowness or levity Like those tiny alterations that brush the legs of swimmers Lifts the rain a little to the left No more than a flash of free-will Until the clouds close their options and the whole melancholy air surrenders to pure fear and … falls And I who live in the basement one level down from the world with my eyes to the insects with my ears to the roots listening I feel them in my bones these dead straight lines Coming closer and closer to my core This is the sound this is the very floor Where Grief and his Wife are living looking up

hey in ur peri animatic: (https://youtu.be/OCqlRuDaXYU?si=K52WDu_vw9rg7chz) that I have been permanently obsessed over since today and have watched about 20 times by now so much that I have drawn & posted stuff based on it what was that partial bug form peri had?

I haven’t watched either of the show btw so if it’s explained in the show please tell me plsssss

OK, SO the bug thing is not technically canon to the series. It's based on my own headcanons for fairy biology, but i do have justifications for it!! Fairies have very strong shape-shifting abilities, so it would make sense that the form they show to humans isn't necessarily their true form(not to mention extreme that mimicry is very common in insects). And you want to know the visible traits almost every fairy has in common? Being very small with Insect-like wings.

The fact that their humanoid form isn't their true form in actually confirmed in the show! Cosmo and Wanda are revealed to look like biblically accurate pseudo-angels in the museum episode. (I say pseudo angels because the Flaming Sword of Eden is only debatably sentient and I don't think is considered an angel. Ophanim are also debatably not angels because they don't have wings (sorry for the angel tangent I like angels))

So wouldn't their true forms be angelic then? Well, yes. But I like bugs so. Also I have more headcanons to justify myself. I like to think that they have both a true-true form (incomprehensible to the human brain, probably exists mostly in a dimension invisible to us, that looks how we imagine biblically accurate angels), and a fairy form (which is visible to humans but is naturally very insect like and tends to scare people). So, in order to interact with humans, they have to learn to shapeshift into a humanoid form but will occasionally slip if they get too relaxed/aren't careful, hence the mandibles coming out when he yawns!

The reason they struggle so much more with human forms than the animals or objects they typically turn into is that, well, they aren't trying to convince those animals or objects. The more human they try to look, the harder it is to keep up convincingly. If you turn into a really uncanny squirrel, only other squirrels will notice. If you turn into a really uncanny human, they form a lynch mob and burn you at the stake.

Colette Bryce's "Turbines in January" performed by Jeremy Irons || Climate change poems

In 2015 actors including James Franco, Ruth Wilson, Gabriel Byrne, Maxine Peake, Jeremy Irons, Kelly Macdonald and Michael Sheen read a series of 20 original poems on the theme of climate change, curated by UK poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy.

"Turbines in January" by Colette Bryce

A thousand synonyms for wind make up your song. Those busy arms

may juggle any number of rumours going around: your Swish, for one—

they say it whisks the pool of sleep; that blades cut holes in the cloth of dreams;

that shadow-flicker makes of the sunniest day a speed-frame motion picture,

and panes of ice, which crystallize on your frozen wings, are flung when you turn

(one, it was said, had lodged like a glass fin in the roof of a camper van).

*

What’s to be done to keep your head in the clouds, your whirling one-track mind,

for the wingers and losers, raptors, plovers, gulls batted to the ground?

What’s to be done about your foot, electric root beneath an ocean floor

abuzz with armoured creatures charmed by your magnetic aura?

*

Like my brother’s distance-defying snaps, where the London Eye will rest

like a trinket in his palm or the Tower of Pisa bend to the slightest pressure

of an index finger, these turbines could be a row of daffodils

bordering a lawn, signalling the spring, as I reach my hand out

into the perspective, pluck one like a stem, raise it to my lips

like a child’s seaside windmill on a stick, and blow… Its earfolds fill and spin.

No matter who you are or where you come from, life’s too cold to not love yourself and others.
