but then, apologizing isn't only for the other person, it's for one's own guilt to melt away too

lost to the dark night
my dark haired girl
your skin's as white
as the world's brightest pearl
heal me up again
im your little Julie
you're my wicked Glen
baby's little schoolie
everything i love
gathers piles of sin
i sure know whereof
i fall from grace herein
oh to be thin and pretty
to be tall and rotten
her small brown kitty
with fur made of cotton
take a chunk of wax
from my donkey ears
and fill the cracks
of my ever pouring tears
every-time you cut
angels lose their wings
i patch your bloody gut
but your sickle again swings
I'm your poor Noah
you're my filthy Allie
we're hiding below a
bridge over the valley
you're my Kim
i'm Mr scissors
your heart, so grim
yet love delivers
you're my Natalka
i'm your Ioan
can we die in Nebraska
just us, and no one
you dont know me
i think you never will
you're on a killing spree
you die, you cry and kill

Our Flag Means Death & “The Hamilton effect”
Or: why you should not take media (of any kind) at face value.
Note: I wrote this well before OMFD got big, and some years before I rejoined the history fandom, I've always been a historical fiction writer to a degree. I am also not strictly anti-Hamilton and I'm definitely not anti-OMFD, this is just elaborating on why you should do your research and why historical fiction is complicated, and should never be marketed as historical fact.

Fun fact: did you know the US government has been awarding Automattic Inc. millions of dollars since 2021 which will run until December of 2024? Specifically, the presidential office has been funding tumblr.
Automattic Inc. bought tumblr in 2019.
Do you know who else funded Automattic Inc. in 2019 some $70,000? The US Department of Defense.

inside u there are two wolves whovians. one wants intersexuality and references and obscure callbacks to long-forgotten DWM comic strips. the other one wants the show to not be so damn self-indulgent so it can actually attract new ppl and live on for a couple seasons after the new new labour austerity folk are done defunding the bbc.

I don't know if it's rude to ask, so apologies in advance if I sound mean, but… how come you repeatedly bring up old posts of yours from three or more years ago? Do you remember each original post you make and intentionally bring them back? Like, I don't think there's anything wrong, your blog can be whatever you want, obviously, and your stuff is always funny or curious in some way, just… I'm kind of lost as of how it came to be, I guess? I don't think I remember my own posts after 6 months, much least if I have to go back to 2020!
ahaha no it's usually just because i'm going back through a tag looking for something else! i recently went back through my entire "my posts" tag (which contains...1468 posts, dear lord) and while i was doing that saw several posts that i felt like reblogging for whatever reason. so it's usually not that i remember them and go looking for them on purpose, it's that i come across them incidentally in the course of doing something else.
if you want to know why i reblog them after coming across them, 1) usually i don't! you are seeing the tip of the iceberg lol, and 2) it's mostly because it's hard to resist the "sooo true, bestie" urge, even when the bestie is just...yourself.

I said "I never knew you" but then they argued we're the same person.
Makes sense, I never knew myself either.

All this coding just keeps bringing back memories of my internship and god I can't believe 18 year old me set up 2 whole ass websites from nearly the ground up in 2.5 days almost entirely ON MY OWN, adding last tweaks like 15 minutes before a huge launch event FOR FREE.
They used my autism against me...
