Ode to a Mobility Aid; My Mary

I wrapped her head in red, Bought her a change in footwear: One to match and another to trample along the trails. Bought a bag of gems, thousands of them, Off a passing salesman to decorate her body And project for her an aura of ruby constellations.

All wealth in the world couldn’t make what she’s done for me: She holds me up, on either side she’ll turn up She waits upright, attending my bedside at night She catches me before I fall, Without a word she does it all, Oh, my Darling Mary. To her I must apologize, For the times at which she falls, and pitifully I call: “Mary, how could you?” before I crouch to lift her off the ground again And dust her off, then I’ll correct myself In continuance of our daily dance. She holds me up; I let her down Sometimes it’s both of us found on the ground. My sweet cane it isn’t you to blame, Only my grasp that lets you slip on though. Go ahead and call me careless for the way I’ve treated you. I’ll stroke the scrapes along your body, In infinite thankfulness for your dutiful service: A matter in which you had no choice.

My Darling Mary, handed over to me With a bow in your leg and bits missing from your grip. So requisite a companion, you’re an extension of myself. Though you’re liable to fall apart, For you: my hands will become capable and I’ll make you a work of art.

“Time does not bring relief; you all have lied”

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide; The old snows melt from every mountain-side, And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane; But last year’s bitter loving must remain Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide. There are a hundred places where I fear To go,—so with his memory they brim. And entering with relief some quiet place Where never fell his foot or shone his face I say, “There is no memory of him here!” And so stand stricken, so remembering him.

so a non-welcome home related ask and i'm sorry if you already answered this before, but what got you into dragons? i'm slowly stalking through your tumblr and i can't help but admire how beautifully and effortlessly you draw the scaley fuckers (/pos) ✨

i've actually never gotten this question, so this is a delight! allow me to Overshare about this

i became interested in dragons at an early age - like, kindergarten / 1st grade age. i don't remember exactly how it started, but i think it was my fascination with dinosaurs, oddly enough? i've loved those guys since some of my earliest memories. it wasn't a big leap from "giant 'lizards' from our past" to 'even bigger mythological 'lizards' from always". the Hobbit and the first Temeraire (im trying to get my hands on the full series now actually) were read to me at this young age too, and the only parts i remember are the big dragon scenes lmao

i do know the ball Really got rolling with the first How To Train Your Dragon movie, which i saw in theaters in 2nd grade. INSTANT obsession with dragons. i'll never forget how it felt to see Toothless for the first time. but in general, i couldn't get enough of em. i made my own dragon manual, i got the Dragonology books, it was the whole enchilada!

then in 5th grade, i stumbled upon the newly released Wings Of Fire: The Dragonet Prophecy book! immediately fell in love with it. and its what pushed me to start actively pursuing art! and also what pushed me into my first online space: ~Deviantart~. i saw all of the amazing art of my favorite dragons and wanted in on it. i can actually pinpoint the main person who's art i loved and found inspiration in: someone named Liighty! i don't remember their user, it's probably changed in the many years since. i loved their stuff and wanted nothing more than to be able to draw like them

long story short, i've been in love with dragons for the majority of my life. HTTYD and WOF have been my biggest inspirations and fuel to the fire, and my first delve into the internet pushed me to start drawing dragons (specifically wof) like my life depended on it. i haven't looked back since!

In Your Web

Growing up, I was our house’s spider catcher Or killer, but that grew to hurt me too. Summoned by my sisters’ shrieking, I’d scoop the restless creature in a jar, Let it outside.

You told me on the phone about A web you had to break, Built ambitiously from floor to ceiling. You allowed them free reign anywhere But in your way.

Before we went inside, you introduced me To the spiders on your porch, Who dove away frightened from your gestures. I could feel only joy and admiration, You led me inside.

Arm in arm we walked Under the mesh ceiling, swathed in web You named the spiders for me, Leaning in to admire them up close. I wanted to kiss you then.

A gorgeous golden orb weaver appeared Just out my door, this morning. Web glittering tremulously in the golden rays. I watched her wrap and devour a fat fly, and I thought of you and smiled.

Basil's dread has caught up with him and Aaron's just kind of like 'you do realize you dissociated in the middle of class and we didn't end up giving our presentation right? No? Alright then.'

Guess it's time to have a private chat someplace else~
