what if my grandmother tried to resurrect her brother, but instead created a mirror image of the person she failed to save.

and what if my mother fell in love with her reflection and, although the love was there, it wasn't enough for her, and so it killed her.

and what if you chose me again and again in every reality, even though I don't understand why. Even though it means getting dirt stuck under your nails and splinters lodged in the soft flesh of you from digging your way to me through hell. Again and again, even though it kills you.

and what if your reflection frees my reflection and they also fall in love, and we were all simultaneously alive and dead, like Schrodinger's cats from the centre of the earth, because time will always be the snake reaching back to taste itself. because we declared ourselves holy and did not relent until the universe agreed. because everything that has happened will happen again, and also will never happen again. because I love you enough to reshape reality until it holds you.

Anna. Anna. You left your friends for me, Anna. You left your mother and your sister and her little baby and all the people you love for me, Anna. I think I might be furious at you for that. I cannot conceive of a world where this is a kindness you have done me; where this is anything but one thrust of a sword that must be met with another. How could you wound me this way? Why couldn’t you have left me to die, loving me afar, like the moon?

POV: he caught you in his cardboard box

recently relistened to WHEN on a longass flight and was itching to draw these goofs again

the “i love only you. only you. only ever you” to “you’ll die alone. you’ll die watching your own blood seep out over goldenrod and bluestem, clutching the broken bones in your throat, and you’ll remember, then, that i might have saved you, that i loved you enough to try” pipeline

Any yall art fighting this year??

everything has already happened

finally finished my genloss/silt verses trilogy!! I had a lot of fun trying to decide who would be who, but I feel like this one's obvious lmao,,

(we love being forced to act out a tragic narrative to appease an insatiable voyeur /silly)

If they met each other, they would throw up blood

my music taste is slowly being taken over by songs playing on the weather segments of wtnv,,,,

i am having mabel thoughts again. the way the martin house seems malicious but then rises up to meet you when you fall. They way it witnesses what sally does to mabel, and instead makes the conscious decision to love and protect its heir.

The way that hill house has places that look like they would embrace you, but are instead harsh and bitter, just like luke's mother was to him.

The way that both choose to let out their anger in different ways. hill house knows only cruelty, and resents you for your imposition, and will hold on so tightly that it will ensure you can never impose anywhere again. martin house, also accustomed to tragedy, instead responds with love and fear, and wants to hold you so tightly that it will never be alone again.

the way that juniper loved lily enough to try to save her. the way that theo didn't love eleanor enough to try.

rest energy

I love you, and that means you rule me, Anna, and I will make you pay for it, even just in this. / Allow your belief in me to override the doubt you have in yourself. / We are going to hurt each other. Remember? The leash, pulling both ways?

[gryffinfeather]

I would never leave you to face the monster on your own, not even if he is your brother. I never would

[gryffinfeather]

your voice as i remember it

There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.

They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.
