“I love you with a love that reaches you on the other shore. That dark, unknown shore where, in order to follow you, my love stumbles forth blindly, bleeding, but always holding you tight.”

— Dulce María Loynaz, from “Poem XCI,” trans. James O’Connor, Absolute Solitude: Selected Prose Poems (First Archipelago, 2016)

“Sometimes, you just want / something so hard you have to lie about it, / so you can hold it in your mouth for a minute, / how real hunger has a real taste.”

— Ada Limón, Bright Dead Things; “Lies About Sea Creatures” (via luthienne)

““You’re not a monster,” I said. But I lied. What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.”

— Ocean Vuong, from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous. (via ligeia-of-the-rhine)

being alive is to have life telling you ‘ok now i will ask you to be brave. now i will ask you to be brave. now i will ask you to be brave’ over and over and over until you learn it & then have to learn it again

favorite faces: lmao literally like 90% of them are relatively obscure models but! that being said idk--tashi rodriguez, mahesh jadu, marga esquivel, andy walters, tony thornburg, manish dayal, max fieschi? very small portion of faces I like, I have a list

what’s a plot or ship you’ve always wanted to write but never gotten to? oooh hoo okay codependent villains who don't care about each other nearly enough (as far as they're concerned) to do the things they're willing to do for each other + families you choose bc they choose you + look I'm not gonna lie to y'all literally at any time I'm probably thinking about les mis and how I could shoehorn in something inspired by the patron minette ("he could have subdued monsters, instead he found it more expedient to become one" I mean COME ON)

what do you hope to see on abattoir? politics and the way it can fuck everything up, science/magic and the intersection thereof, terrible decisions and terrible consequences

Nine things about being brought back from the dead

You will be cold

You will wake up screaming, you all do.

Your entire body will throb, the pain will eventually subside; being brought back is never a painless task.

Do not get up immediately, you will be nauseous and your body will need time to readjust to this realm.

Ask for more blankets, you will feel very cold.

You will not remember how you died, do not ask.

Do not ask the practitioner how they performed the ritual, this is considered bad luck and you will not last long.

Your loved ones will be ecstatic to have you back, consider this a blessing.

Thank the practitioner and let them be on their way, if they do not look you in the eye consider this a bad omen.

one cannot forget the way your body curved into mine, as one does not forget the touch of silk or the taste of citrus.
