Brings me a lot of joy.

It pisses me off how much people don't seem to care about it. Your soulless, ugly AI profile pic is muddying our drinking water.

Human made art, always πŸ–€

I've watched The Mountain, The Moon Cave and The Sad God so many times now.

In this twisted era of AI slop, where people just don't seem to care that art lacks soul now, don't care that it's stolen resources, so long as it's fast and accessible, watching something so lovingly human made..

goddess in fishnets
she who resides within
not always awake
yet always stirring
somewhere beneath the skin
awaiting her renaissance

My partner telling me he'll "fight the bin" because I caught my hand on the sharp corner really reminded me of that bit in the Addams Family movies where Gomez threatens to fight the sun because a beam landed on Morticia 😁

However, it's the day after I drive down to London to see Jesus Christ Superstar..so I'm literally doing two long drives one after the other πŸ˜…

love interrupted
hearts that never meet
sometimes the destination
is actually the detour

i can't deliver on my promises
but i can be #magnanimous

and wish you all the best

I have the opposite problem which sucks because I do want to finish a book one day.

Finished The Monk. What an absolute ride, a LOT of horrific things happen in this book.

Also somebody said that Satanized by Ghost is inspired by it and yeah, I definitely get the similarities πŸ–€

Over time, they lost their magic. I matured, and I realised that, actually, a lot of problematic stuff was hidden beneath what I thought was a nice writing style.

Fast forward to now where yet more problematic things about her keep arising.

I loved these books, but it's time to let them go.

There was a point in my life where SJM was my favourite author. Around ten years ago, if not more now, when the Throne of Glass series and ACOTAR were just coming out.

I followed these books coming out, waiting eagerly for the next one. They gave me a new appreciation for fantasy.

what are poems
if not the embodiment
of all the wishes
filling up my heart?

It's time for another Weekly Poetry Reading πŸ–€

The things we do "for the best" can still hurt, we can still mourn the things we once found joy in.

I hope you enjoy πŸ₯°

"Oopsie committed a little sin, oh fuck it, might as well go the whole hog." - Abbot Ambrosio from The Monk, apparently.

Anyway, happy World Book Day πŸ–€ πŸ“š

#bountiful dreams
keep me afloat
filling the caverns
that reality cannot

the darkness palls
but the images in sleep
make me light

distant shores
onced tethered
an anchor of hope
or a garrote of delusion

horizons shift
the sun sets
but it will always rise again
