I’m standing at the edge of the Pacific Ocean
getting pelted in my face with hail
I’m screaming into the void
but no one can hear me over the roaring
The wind is embracing the angry waves
and creating an offspring of saltwater
Sticky and humid across my skin
The air thick and sweet
The ocean keeps my private thoughts
deep down and buried
I brought the humidity back to Seattle
with me and it sticks to my knees
It’s a fair price to pay for something that
knows my feelings and thoughts
#spilled thoughts#humid#poems about the ocean#poems about life#poets on tumblr#spoken word piece#spilled ink#writing#queer poetry#poetry#remember#poems and poetry#poetry and writing

I feel like Loki might've grown up with VERY complex feelings surrounding his birth, which were only perpetrated by the villagers. Not only because of the prophecy, but the fact that Harald was forced to have him and had to divorce his first wife. This could be another reason why he lashed out against Hajrudin, Harald's wanted child.
This is why I think that Harald's last words could be something along the line of "thank you for being born".
#i sketched that scene out last night and made myself roll up into a ball from the sheer amount of feels#originally i wrote “im glad you were born” but then i looked up what jp phrase i should use bc i didn't like the translation#and that's when i stumbled upon 生まれてきてくれてありがとう and went hol up aces last spoken word was arigatou too.....#my emotions man.....#one piece#loki one piece#one piece loki#king harald#hajrudin#one piece theory

something that sticks out to me about the mcr show is like. the black parade ends so bleakly. the government puppet becoming a suicide bomber after the death of gerard way and the mournful cello… but then‼️ the band regroups on a different stage and keeps playing!!! art lives on a continues to challenge us and continues to inspire us…anyway
#mcr#mcr seattle#i know that the black parade is the performance art piece but i think the fact that they play basically an entire set AFTER that is also#part of the art yknow. i think it means something that despite the failure of democracy and the continued existence of the dictatorship#the prevalence of propoganda and people seeing the truth/switching sides only after it’s too late…#I think it’s important that art continues after that. that there is still more to see and experience and do#i am so curious to see if and how this show evolves over time. I LOVE PERFORMANCE ART 🫶🏼🫶🏼#saw someone on twitter posted a thread of all the ‘acting’ bits and I do need to watch those…I feel like I couldn’t hear the spoken words#as well as I wanted to from where I was. also wasn’t wearing ear protection (whoops) which I think made it worse#anyway. fascinated by this show. SO glad I got to be there and be surprised by everything

i hate reading and im checking mariam webster to figure out how to use punctuation marks but im still writing weirdly artful furry porn.
never give up on your dreams!!!!
#people think its strange that i can write somewhat well and dont read#i kinda believe that writing is just the art of expressing ideas through word#and i think you can study any medium that uses written or spoken language to do train your writing#you just need to get invested in analysis#I like essays analyzing pieces of media and i like learning about writing#and even when I'm playing a videogame or watching a letsplay i can look at the story and apply the analysis there#and be like ''they couldve gotten more out of their themes if they took the story in this direction'' or ''this isn't working for me becaus#THAT BEING SAID#i did fail my college english class twice (Thats because im awful at research but still)#and i do really think that your going to get the most insight on writing from reading books#I want to pick up reading but its hard with my adhd and when i listen to audiobook and do other things i dont think im picking up as much#but yeah dont take any of my writing advice seriously im just a kid who has feelings about life and wants to express them as well as i can

I’m back on my Tim Drake doesn’t have a Bristol accent agenda! He only lived in Bristol for max 2 years and that’s including the time he lived with Bruce. Until 14 he spent his time moving between various houses across Gotham City and in various boarding schools in Gotham. (No I don’t know why Gotham has multiple boarding schools or why Tim went to multiple boarding schools). He lived with Bruce in Wayne manor at 14, but by 14/15 his dad woke up from the coma and they bought drake manor. Living in drake manor for, maybe a year and a half, before at 16 they have to sell the manor, and they move to a brownstone in Gotham city proper again. Then when Jack dies, sometime very soon after that he barely has time to live in Bristol again before the Red Robin happens where he is (probably freshly) 17. Your accent is pretty well developed when you reach 14, and none of the boarding schools are in Bristol, or implied to have alot of students from them. Even then he only spends his school time there, the rest of the time he spends all across Gotham. That is to say his accent is probably a non-dialectical version of a Gotham accent. Something ambiguously middle class but could just as easily be upper middle class or working class. He probably favours the accent of a certain area in Gotham but he also probably mixes slang and specific dialectical features. This is all to say anyone realistic wouldn’t be able to differentiate his accent from a crime ally accent, and Gotham natives wouldn’t be able to place where exactly in Gotham he’s from other than to say where he isn’t from. He probably just sounds like he’s from a New Jersey that locked itself culturally off from even the rest of New Jersey and spawned a new weirder New Jersey accent.
#aimeespeaks#tim drake#red robin#most Gotham natives wouldn’t think much on it except to note his not from Bristol or the east end#otherwise all bets are off#your accent is so heavily effected by your early speech development his probably the only bat-member who’s accent is actually purely Gotham#Steph Jason and dukes are all probably obviously east end accents (Bowery park row and narrows respectively)#Bruce’s is a 100% Bristol accent. even then there’s probably a heavy British influence in it that sets him apart from other Bristol resident#due to his sheltered early childhood and isolation post parents death (I hesitate to say he spends anytime in Gotham proper until he’s bat)#Alfred’s is English (I hesitate to theorise on what his queens English specific accent says#about him beyond just being a English butler cause it’s definitely a symptom of 1950s American writer)#dicks like 10 when his parent die. he definitely adapts Gotham slang and some words he learns only to say in Gotham but his accent is#probably a thick travellers accent (I don’t know much about American travellers or circuses so I can’t say more)#Damian doesn’t speak with even a hint of a Gotham accent#I hesitate to say with his upbringing he even speaks in a Arabic accent. i can only imagine him in a mix of transatlantic and rp English#that is to say Tim probably has an accent most unintrusive to civilians#I imagine with every other memeber a civilian describing them would point out their accent if spoken to even a little#it probably wouldn’t even occur to a civilian to point out anything to do with Tim’s voice. and if pushed they would probably just be like#‘idk he’s from somewhere in Gotham’#cass is the only other one who I can see speaking in a unambiguous Gotham accent but even then if she speaks more than a few words it’s#gotta be a crazy accent she’s pieced together

hi, what does naff mean? (I googled it and it said it was British and meant unfashionable but I don't think that's how you used it)
That is correct! The way I use it is very broadened, to be perfectly honest. I often use it in a sense of being unimpressive, disappointing, or generally not very good. On its own, I'd say that naff is maybe slightly better than bad but worse than an absolute middle on the scale of quality? (The way some people use mid reminds me of how I use naff). However, I use intensifiers to play fast and loose with it, so I'm not exactly consistent, and I will use it to express more negative meanings (is this ironic understatement or genuinely having a more negative meaning? I really don't know!).
This is a great question and now I'm wondering whether the broadened way I use it is local to my social group and area, or whether this is a change in meaning covering a larger area that webpages and dictionaries haven't quite caught up with. This is also, at least with the imprecision of use that I use it with, a really awkward word to try and define. Thank you very much for the ask I am going down research rabbit holes
#i think our respective profile pictures work quite well for this interaction tbh.#to get a sense of how much i am thinking about this right now please know#that i started answering this almost immediately after receiving your ask#i have also spent time in the past thinking about how i would define 'naff' to someone (because that is just how i am). and yet!#actually on the topic of pfps. saf brain strikes again and i am wondering if owen would use this term.#the oed's dates place it slightly too late for him but they go off written evidence#however given the etymologies i've heard before and am seeing now on the oed it seems to have come from polari#which. yeah that's a word that will have been in spoken use way before it was in any written evidence that the oed could grab#so in a piece of great news for me specifically owen carvour could feasibly have been using the word naff i reckon!#anyways. yeah i went off on one here sorry. you asked a procrastinating linguistics student a language question haha#apologies to you and my fellow users of this term if this definition isn't very good. i may even say it's a bit naff#séance with the ghostie

Starting with "The revolution is about to televised" when you're performing for an institution that literally pushes military propaganda, and who also would have signed off AND approved the performance before hand, and people are praising you for "sticking it to the powers" as if you did not spend the past 15 months with complete silence about Congo, Sudan, Palestine who are being decimated by your country, while claiming your life and art is about activism is certainly as USAmerican as it gets.
#kendrick lamar#Americans. you guys are at your core americans regardless of your age. gender. race. sexuality. astounding#Also SZA who responded with 'you are broke and a hater' when Indians in her comments section were trying to educate her about#the mf whose aashram she joined in Indian as if he isn't a renowned piece of shit#Neither of them have spoken a word. shown any solidarity or showed any support to the activist who was detained and arrested for#using his opportunity to talk about global injustices#You know what I take some of it back. working class Americans who have done the work to shift from the US central mindset are better people#Your celebrities and rich are not going to save you#Stop idolising them and giving them credit but not even doing the bare minimum#Breads and circuses. and it fucking works with you lot everytime#The Drake-Kendrick thing was funny until everyone started attributing KL as revolutionary figurehead#It does not fucking work like that. MLK did not die that long ago. do you actually know what figureheads of a movement look like

being trans is like being given a really bizarre gift for your birthday which you should be grateful for becuase it’s the thought that counts and you know that some people would absolutely love it but also what are you meant to do with it? so you kinda just keep it around and it just haunts you from its place on the shelf until you bite the bullet to throw it out or just learn to live with it
#idk#basis of a piece of writing for something else ig#there’s an open mike spoken word night at a bar in the city next week i want to go to but i don’t actually have any long or finished pieces

Listen/purchase: Jessie Lynn McMains - Ode to Awesome by Various Artists
The kind of kiss that melts your kneecaps is awesome! Opening a new box of paints is awesome! James Williamson’s guitar riff in The Stooges’ “Search and Destroy” is awesome! Red lipstick, green tea with honey on a rainy day, the secret glow of nightjars—awesome!
#bandcamp#spoken word#poetry#hello america stereo cassette#jessie lynn mcmains#my writing#ode to awesome#i wrote the first draft of this poem like...6 years ago?#in response to that time neil degrasse tyson made some tweet about how 'the word awesome should be reserved for things that are truly#awe-inspiring - not food or tv.'#and the merriam-webster account just responded: 'neil.'#anyway i never did anything with it#and then a poem i heard someone read at the woodland pattern poetry marathon this year#reminded me of it and got me to take another look at it#i made some edits and liked the new version#but i still didn't know what to *do* with it#and then i was like#wait! it would make a kick-ass spoken word piece!#so here ya go

what's the greatest mistake you've ever made, illumi?
"I don't make mistakes." and yet, even when he spoke those words... "I don't." was he trying to convince himself?

Nick Cave show was awesome also it was 2 and a half hours plus an encore that was like a whole other set that i left early. Admittedly i have large gaps in my knowledge of the bad seeds discography but i had a great time and he played tupelo and mercy seat which are the two songs I wanted to hear live so that was great.
#I'd kill to hear a box for black paul live but that's basically a spoken word piece so it would never happen#I'm a bigger birthday party fan than a bad seeds fan but this was still really good

thinking of committing a cardinal sin and making a youtube video essay
#I want to do a poetic analysis of hiss by Megan the stallion because I think it’s an incredibly well written and effective piece of music#and spoken word#she had an incredible sense for pleasant phonetics and when to switch up flow and all these little details that make her stuff so airtight#and I really think she’s changing the game and frankly is being received as all black women geniuses are received in their time#WITH LESS FUCKING CREDIT THAN SHE DESERVES#I forgot the fucking second e in thee im so sorry Ms thee stallion

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm
'Late Night Tales and its predecessor Another Late Night are the names of two related series of artist-curated compilation albums released by Azuli Records in the UK until 2009 when the independent record label Night Time Stories took over the series. Both series were started by the author A.W. Wilde. The tracks on the albums are selected and mixed by a diverse selection of artists asked by Late Night Tales to create the ultimate late night mix.'
And Nils Frahm 'is a German musician, composer, and record producer based in Berlin. He is known for combining classical and electronic music and for an unconventional approach to the piano in which he mixes a grand piano, upright piano, Roland Juno-60, Rhodes piano, drum machines, and Moog Taurus.'
