Boomerangs & Cathedrals

My words came jagged—

edges brittle like old glass.

But silence?

Silence cracked me down the middle.

Not ‘cause of you.

Because of me.

The echo didn’t leave—it unpacked.

Moved in.

Changed the locks.

Inside my throat,

a stage with no lights.

Curtains hiding

a truth that could’ve rerouted the plot.

But I blinked—

and the moment packed its bags

before I could stop it.

I smiled at the cookout.

Laughed at the jokes.

All while sipping lava

through a straw of composure.

No one noticed me choking

on all the things

I tried to mean

but never actually said.

Funny how silence

don’t even need words to cut.

It’s the ghosts of what ain’t get said

that build pressure in the chest.

Like a ribcage ain’t supposed

to hold this much nothing.

The day your eyes asked

and I just… blinked?

That’s the day I became

a building full of echoes.

Not abandoned—just never opened.

A temple for unfinished sentences

and dreams that got cold feet.

And the loudest sound I’ve ever heard

ain’t a scream or a gunshot—

It’s courage folding up

and crawling backwards down the spine.

It's the exhale

that never made it out.

Even now—

years later,

different clothes, different city—

I still hear that moment.

Still hear it bounce

between memory and almost.

Boomerang silence

with no off switch.

I swear, it etched hieroglyphs in my bones.

The kind only I can read.

Stories told in hesitation,

whole novels written in pauses.

Maybe that’s grace.

Maybe restraint

is its own kind of art.

Like digging through the wreckage

of a war I didn’t start

but still chose not to finish.

But still…

some nights I wonder—

did you hear it too?

That thunder rolling in after the look?

The storm that never rained

but broke the sky anyway?

never forgive react youtubers for making ""what?????????? I'm so confused 😧😧" the peak of humor for so many people.. Now any and every piece of art that's even slightly unconventional has at least one dipshit in the comments that has to be loudly confused about it like ❔Ermmmmm what .... Op are you okay? Like fuck off. I wish I could put you in a saw trap until you understand the concept of art

Etho's behavior in session 5 was frankly unhinged. he killed Bdubs' horse IN FRONT OF HIM and managed to get away scot-free in the chaos of the situation. AND THEN he stole the chicken farm hopper while HALF THE TEAM was in their base without them noticing, tried to trade it BACK to them, and finally returned it after GAINING THEIR ALLIANCE? what even. good for him.

Begging swifties to understand that Taylor didn’t write reputation and Lover with the knowledge of how the relationship was going to end and that trying to “excavate” those albums for evidence to prove a specific theory as to why it ended is not how they should be viewed. Taylor wrote those songs feeling a very specific way because that’s what she was experiencing and she is now reflecting on them with hindsight and relates to them differently than when she first created them. These conflicting emotions can exist; how she views it now doesn’t diminish how she felt about it when she first released it.

little scrapped comic bc it felt a bit ooc to me in hindsight

I need more Crystal speaking like the gen z kid she is. I need her saying "L" and "ripperoni" and "me when" and similar such things. And most importantly I need Edwin to catch on faster than Charles because he's used to adapting to new slang and Charles isn't

The new ULTRAKILL update got me wanting to see Gabriel realizing that the war machine that defeated him, the one he considered unbreakable, can be and is afraid of death. That they can feel fear in a very living and human way. See them terrifies out of their code. Feel their terror. Understand that they want to scream but can't.

They are so rattled it shakes him.

you suck at hiding
