TIME

I dreamed that I was living slowly, More slowly than an ancient stone – A nightmare: above me, around me, below me All shook, twitched, sprouted. I alone was still. I saw the urgent force that split the soil as trees burst free, singing in voices cracked and hoarse. Each season flew off after the others: a dizzying whirl of rainbow colors. I saw the trembling of the sea, its swelling and its hasty shrinking, a giant gullet always drinking. Day vanished into night and came alight again like flickering flame. Those gesturing things showed such intense desperation and eloquence, awoken from paralysis to struggle, wild and merciless... How could it be I never guessed, I never saw the truth till now? I must forget again – but how?

M. Vasalis (1909-1998), translation David McKay, 2020 From: The Enchanting Verses, Dutch Poetry edition, ed. David Colmer

O lei O lai O lord

ID: 3 portraits, the first is of Arthur Morgan holding a gun, his hat is covering half of his face, he has blood around his mouth. Underneath it reads “the soldier”

The second portrait is of Hosea Matthews, his eyes are closed and he has blood spreading on his shirt. There’s an open book in front of him

The third portrait is of Dutch Van der Linde, he his holding a lit cigar and has blood on his hands. The smoke is swirling around his face

Each of the portraits has a sun like symbol behind their heads

idk if you hate dutch van der linde and refuse to look at the complexities of his character and use critical thinking skills, deciding to call him a greedy manipulative abuser and treat him like literal demon hellspawn, get off my page for real. the way that some of y'all treat mentally ill people is disgusting.

​it also really rubs me wrong when people talk about how dutch is greedy and is motivated by money, too. like... he very clearly is not? obviously he is concerned about money, as is everyone in the WHOLE GAME, but that's not what his entire life revolves around. he donates money to the camp and talks about how much he cares about the gang and wants them to be stable. his motivation for money is to make sure the people he cares about are well taken care of and safe.

i'm gonna link a great video about dutch's mental health, i encourage y'all to watch it.

A good friend of mine is writing their thesis on trans poetry in the Netherlands. If you feel addressed in any way (non-dutch trans poets who live in the Netherlands, you count too!): be sure to check out the post for how you can help!

4.49 Fleeing from the Cliff

A Poem by Emilia Sameyn

NEDERLANDS BENEDEN

One Runs

Some in Circles

Others Back and Forth

Searching for Feel Good Feelings

Buying oneself more Time

Movement makes one go High

After a While

Feeling like a Slender Giant

Yet, Stare in the Mirror

Exhausted

White Face

Face it!

All you do is Run

From Death!

4.49 Op de Vlucht voor de Kloof

Een Gedicht van Emilia Sameyn

Één Loopt Sommige in Cirkels Anderen Heen en Weer Opzoek naar Voel-Goed Gevoelens

Zichzelf meer Tijd Kopen

Beweging maakt je High Na een Tijd Één voelt zich als een Slanke Reus Toch, Staar in de Spiegel Uitgeput Wit Gezicht Zie! Het Enige wat je doet is Rennen Van de Dood!

[hylorien]

He will tear your city down, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord.

He will slay you with his tongue, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord.

Smeared with oil, like David's boy, oh lei, oh lai, oh lord.

Help a beginning writer out?

Hi everyone! :) I am writing a fantasy book, and my main characters are poc (indigenous and black). My fantasy concept gets pretty complicated over their identities, so I would love to have someone look over my shoulder to give ethical (if that's the right word) advice or have conversations with them about this. Ideally, I would be able to do some research on my own but this gets so specific that it's hard to find sources. Would anyone be interested in this, or know any sources, or have any other tips? :) Thank youuu, have a good day and I believe in your writing/art :-) You got this! (it's loosely based on Peter Pan and is wlw if that helps convince anyone :D)

Een miljoen dingen

Waarom zou ik kiezen

uit een miljoen dingen?

Ik heb tijd genoeg

om alles te doen

Tegenwoordig moet ik kiezen

uit een miljoen dingen

En het start allemaal

veel te vroeg

Ik kon helemaal niet kiezen

uit een miljoen dingen

Welke carrière volg jij

voor de rest van je leven?

Als ik echt moet kiezen

uit een miljoen dingen

Dan kies ik ze allemaal

of ik zal toch proberen

Lonely together

I am alone,

too many people around me.

.

In this time of celebration,

I've never been so lonely

.

You're with me,

Being lonely, but not alone

.

Soon we will close our eyes and I will realize, when we are together like this, me and you.

.

In this time of celebration,

I've never been happier.
