Write like the ghosts of all the women in history who weren’t allowed to write are standing right next to you wondering what a laptop is and why you’re still in your pyjamas.

can you recommend some portuguese literature, not just in portuguese but from Portugal? I've saved your post on brazilian literature and appreaciated it a lot 🧡

sorry it took so long, anon. i always forget to check if someone asked something!

thank you so much for your request! i would love to do that. i might not be the hugest fan of portuguese literature, but i did major in it too... i'll start planning it and working on it. it will probably take a while, since i always make an effort to find any available translations and interesting info to bring to the table. i will make it clear i will only mention well known (as in, well known world-wide) portuguese authors because my idea is to bring light to more authors who deserve recognition.

i think i'll take advantage of this request and work on some portuguese language african literature masterpost as well, and even get back to some of my other masterposts ideas!

The woman standing at the edge of the universe was gilded with golden scarves. When the sun shone, every inch of her skin was blinding. Even the moon knelt in front of her ashamed to come out. -Merve @merueiledreams  | for poetry @etherealbeige

Inspired by Max Nonnenbruch's Young Beauty, 1892

I’ve started writing more poems as the words come to my mind every second when I get inspired. Last year was a major inspiration for me but I’ve stopped writing for a while until last week. Something clicked in me when I saw Renaissance paintings and words came flowing down onto the paper in front of me. This one’s inspired by Nonnenbruch’s painting which reminded me of a woman sittin in a sunny Mediterranean house looking outside to the sea. 

I also couldn’t recognise myself after I edited the photos. I should seriously create more of these because I’m addicted to pre-Victorian paintings of women, ghosts, mansions, and mythological characters.

I have a custom playlist on Spotify with an orchestra version of video game soundtracks, classical music, jazz, and Gregorian chants. When I need to focus, I depend heavily on the video game soundtracks.

“We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans – because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings.” – Maya Angelou

“With each swing, its silky scaled wings flapped all on the surface of my hands. Enchanting the eyes of the beholder, time stopped for a few seconds. For a second, my begrimed hands looked unworthy of holding such a celestial being.” -Merve (aka your beloved tumblr spammer)
