I swear I can't love them if they can't fathom why an unlit ambulance on a late highway means good luck.

Does It Matter?

They had finished their midnight picnic and were lying on a blanket, fingers entwined, in the garden, in the middle of the night. There was only a thin crescent moon, like a brooch on velvet, but stars filled every crease and crevice of the sky, shimmering, twinkling and swarming. ‘It’s hard to imagine that stars are long dead. Only their lights still exist,’ she said, a gentle murmur in his…

laura palmer graduates by amy woolard

I can’t love them if their hands aren’t all tore up

From something, guitar strings, kitchen knives & grease

Burns, heaving the window ACs onto their crooked old

Sills come June. Fighting back. That porchlight’s browned

Inside with moth husks again & I can’t climb a ladder

To save my life, i.e., the world spins. Even when it’s lit,

It’s half ash. Full-drunk under a half-moon & I’m dazed

We’re all still here. Most of us, least. For the one & every

Girl gone, I sticker gold stars behind my front teeth so

I can taste just how good we were. I swear I can’t

Love them if they can’t fathom why an unlit ambulance

On a late highway means good luck. I hold my cigarette-

Smoking arm upright like I’m trying to keep blood

From rushing to a cut. What’s true is my shift’s over &

I’m here with you now & I’m wrapped up tight

On the steps like a top sheet like the morning paper

Before it’s morning. Look up & smile. What does it matter

That the stars we see are already dead. If that’s the case well

Then the people are too. Alive is a little present I

Give myself once a day. Baby, don’t think I won’t doll

Up & look myself fresh in the eyes, in the vermilion

Pincurl of my still heart & say: It’s happening again.

[inflamearc]

my year in review (data/stats/numbers)

this year, mental illness kicked my ass until it didn't (when fabba came back), and then about a week ago, it started kicking my ass again. i wish i had spent more of the year escaping into art. 2023 was the first year in a while, i feel, that has had this low numbers.

part of that is because my special interest in the 2000s emo scene was reawakened by fob's return, so much of my year was spent re-obsessing over them. rediscovering a bunch of music that made me happy ages 12-15, a time period full of suicidal ideation. my suicidal thoughts and impulses were slain, once again, by the fabbaboos like champions in an arena. 'are you not entertained?' and all that.

(the only 're-'s i am counting are film re-watches, so no album re-listens are counted in that. so a bunch of the stuff i did this year is not being counted! i actually listened to a lot more music than i have catalogued here, i just don't personally log re-listens in my physical media log, so they aren't counted here.)

another part of this is that i spent so much of the year working on my own projects, working on myself, and trying to manage my mental illnesses. i quit drugs and wanting to kill myself! i'm learning spanish! i'm graduating in a few months! this is not an apology; i just prefer to do a lot more stuff to distract me from all the horribleness in my life </3.

this is a (hopefully) complete-ish log of stuff i did this year bc i like number and data and keeping logs because i have an intense, immense fear of lack of permanence/forgetting/losing things because i have lost and forgotten so much stuff in my life 😁😁😁

this is going to get long, so i'm putting it under a cut.

Witcher + Yellowjackets - Yellowjackets on The Continent

A few weeks ago I went on an incoherent rant in a server (Thank you Bookclub, Love you Bookclub) where I brainstormed how The Team would fit into the world of The Witcher. I've finally gotten around to reformatting it into a tumblr post, so.... Here's my incoherency!

First, who are they and why are they?

Coach Ben Scott is a traveling merchant residing in Kaedwen, wanting to sell some of his products in Nilfgaard. He posts an ad in Ban Glean to get a group of people together to guard his caravan as they travel.

Van Palmer is a Witcher from the school of The Wolf, specifically hired due to her connections to known Political Tactician, Taissa. She was originally from Skellige, but was the child surprise of a Bear Witcher who dropped her off at the school of the wolf upon realizing she was a girl (He got wolf and cat confused on who trained Witcheresses, but The Wolves still took her).

Laura Lee is a priestess of the temple of Melitele in Ellander, trained under Nenekke. Her family was always closely tied with the temple, to the point that each generation had at least one woman going into training or study at it. She was following a family tradition by studying under Nenekke. She was in Ban Glean on a trip accompanying field medic Misty towards Ban Ard, but the two of them abandoned their trip.

Lottie Matthews is a distant cousin of the Thyssen Nobility of Kovir, and student at Oxenfurt. Her mother was infertile, so her parents found a woman who looked close enough to act as a stand in mother- not knowing she was of Elven Descent. when Lottie was born, it was discovered she was Elvish, and that lead her and her father to having a very tense relationship. They shipped her off to Oxenfurt, where she went on to study literature and music. Basically, Poetic Disaster Bard <3<;3. Natalie Scatorccio is a Sorceress of Aretuza, graduating less from her grades and more from her practical skill and wit. She temporarily held a court position in her home country of Vicovaro, before leaving the moment Nilfgaard, took over. She was discovered to be a mage when she accidentally exploded her father out of fear for her own safety.

Taissa Turner is a noble-born negotiator who studied at Oxenfurt to get her start into politics and law, with the aim to become a court advisor in her home country of Lyria. She hopes that having a few political trips under her belt will build up a good repertoire, and open a better path to her prospective position.

Jackie Taylor is a Sorceress of Aretuza who didn't get into the school due to her abilities, but due to the fact she was from a wealthy Redanian family who could pay the price. She finished her sorceress training after being practically dragged through it by Shauna, where they avoided court appointment, instead choosing to travel together.

Shauna Shipman is a Sorceress of Aretuza who was discovered to be a mage when she caused all of the rabbits in the forest near her home in Aedirn to suddenly die due to a rush of emotion. She and Jackie met in their first year at Aretuza, and became practically bound at the hip. Shauna wanted to go onto a court appointment, but didn't want to be separated from Jackie, and instead chose to travel.

Misty Quigley is a part-halfling medic who trained under her distant uncle as a field medic, and she studied briefly at the temple of Melitele in Ellander.

I'm gonna be 100% honest I haven't put much thought into Akilah, Mari, Gen, Travis, or Javi, so they all are random hired strong arms. Crystal is as well, but grew up a family member of an Oxenfurt professor, and has some knowledge of literature.

The group is set out on a year-long journey one way to the Nilfgaardian capitol, and they're all Stuck Together <3. Their traveling party is known as The Yellowjackets, and the journey will be glorious, and no one will ever want to kill each other. /s

Please feel free to send me asks about this au I would literally adore worldbuilding questions <3
