Even When I am Old and Gray

On the wrong side of Bermuda Triangle

I wrote you a poem

I wrote you a poem and almost had custody of you

But you don't know that.

I sent you gifts

I sent you gifts because I knew you deserved to be recognized as you are

Not how your parents wish/wished you were...

We may share Mother's genetics,

But you, baby brother,

Weren't able to see a world before your father,

Before 2014, Before I graduated high school,

Before Mother threatened to replace me as I had her

Before Your father threw mother down the stairs while you were in utero

Before mother ran away from all of her children, abandoning them, again....

You can't know this. You couldn't possibly know this.

You're 11.

You know mother isn't always right and

Your father's temper isn't your fault but

You don't know why I love you.

I love you, because I have been you.

Lost, confused, abandoned, abused.

I love you without strings

Of expectations or judgments

I love you and everything you want to become

and are growing into

Every day.

But you won't know that. Can't know that.

Because you're 11

And because Mother's biggest regret in life?

(Though she may never tell you this:)

Was letting me live.

It hurts her to see how I live without her.

How I live.

That I lived.

I'm not going to do her job for her

For I am done cleaning up her messes.

But when you're old enough and ready

We can talk about the truth

And sort it from mother's lies

Together.

One day.

I hope and pray.

You'll see I'm not a monster.

Threads of Shape: Twisted Feast (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/story/373490954-threads-of-shape-twisted-feast?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_myworks&wp_uname=Not-a-Lyre 

What to expect from a world that decides how much you are worth, from the moment you are born? That values you not for your skin or income, but for what you can offer to benefit another. 

This story explores the idea of a society built on the presence of shapeshifting individuals who are forced to exist forever in the context of others as eternal servants. Adding to the shackles placed on them since birth, they also face the rejection of many members of society, who believe submission is not enough of a punishment for disregarding the natural order. 

With Vane left to his luck after his father's sudden disappearance during a mission, he must push forward on his academic life, ensuring a place on the Metaphorm Bureau and a chance to find out the truth behind this wicked world of his. Accompanied by his friends, he is persistent in doing the most to achieve his goals. Unfortunately, they become the focus of one of the big players, whose target is their very own shapeweavers. Unwilling to give them up, they'll enter the wolf's den to stop the threat once and for all. 

"Oh, but do you have what it takes? This is no longer a child's play, so sit and be witness to this mighty festival, for this is the year of the Champion's Ascent. Our mighty warrior has arrived, do you have the heart to face them?"

Initiation Well Location: Sintra, Portugal

A pair of wells, called the Initiation Wells, spiral down deep within the earth, like inverted towers. The wells were never used to collect water. Instead, they were part of a mysterious initiation ritual within the Knights of Templar tradition.

Getting inspired to write is actually really easy! All you need to do is be the busiest you've ever been in your entire life and as far away from a computer as humanly possible. Hope this helps 🥰

You know what?

I love you, fics that take months to update. I click on the newest chapter and have no memory of this place and get to go back some chapters and rediscover how much i love everything about this story.

I love you, fics that take years to update. I think of you fondly, and know your names, go search for you and see an update from this year and scream, diving in uncaring of any missed details (i will finish the update and read you in reverse because this is a treat you have bestowed)

I love you, fics that probably will never update again. Thank you for being a roman empire for my mind, thank you for teaching me about the ephemeral fandom experience, for inspiring a thousand million what if-s, for being a comfort read and a nostalgia read and a reread.

I love you fic writers, who jump into projects and stories with enthusiasm. I love you when you succeed in pumping out those chapters and that love doesn't go away when you stop.

I love you fic writers who post and then get in your own head and never feel confident enough to update, whether it's at all or whether it's just that one story.

I love you fic writers, who have a fandom or media hurt you to the point of abandoning or having a hard time with their WIPs.

I love you fic writers, who lose interest or have life changes or illness or bad memory. Thank you for being part of the fandom, a core part of the fandom. Thank you for the time spent in the fandom.

I love you, fic writers who try out something new and then stop. You're so valid.

I love you, WIP fics that may or may not ever get finished. Thank you for brightening my day in the way only you could have.

identity reveals are always fun

[lgbtlunaverse]

Obsessed with characters who portray themselves as worse than they are. Who are lying to everyone including themselves about it. People generally assume if someone's lying about themselves they're trying to look better but sometimes they're trying to look worse. They attribute agency to where they had none, add intent to accidents, try to convince everyone that this is something they did instead of something that happened to them.

Hey remember how after Lestat upturned Armand's life by destroying the Children of Darkness coven, Armand made out with him and became obsessed with him? And how after Louis slaughtered his next coven and burned the Theatre des Vampires, Armand married him for 77 years? Wow I wonder how he took Daniel destroying his marriage and getting him kicked out of his posh penthouse in Dubai?
