𝖕𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖑 𝖉𝖎𝖛𝖊𝖗
— it felt like the dawn of a budding love, a belly bloated with butterflies,
a rousing dread gently strumming heartstrings,
it felt like a certain hunger but it was magic made tangible
in the interval between pink twilights and sunburnt pastures,
it felt like the mirages of heat were a simple reality finally realized,
suckling the spirits with the sap of halcyon days,
it felt like the shedding of chrysalises, the exposure of essence,
the baring of souls, the rapture of it all.
a sigh gathered and soughed- a cosmic squall.
[a moment in time, book:pearl diver]
— i place my objects of anguish and my rarities of aptitude under a source of light;
just like the fruit flies showered by the mellow dusky sunlight, and look
like blown dandelions on their way to grant wishes, i too wish my
shortcomings are bestowed some ornate saving grace.

[beseeching suns, book:pearl diver]
— i am a woman of temperament mischievous,
with grazed feet that paint red the concrete,
with hands obsolete and maladroit;
does that render me the leper in the eyes of the divine?
what original sin do i carry on our shoulders, mighty as if a birthright?
passed down from my mother, and her mothers before her-
is it the word of God or is it the tale of men?
[rendered the leper, book:pearl diver]
𝖉𝖎𝖗𝖙𝖞 𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖓𝖉𝖗𝖞
— "there's an emptiness inside me growling like an empty stomach;
craving something so deliciously sinful,
something of the hubristic nature that angers Gods and men alike.
for how dare I seek after fulfillment under these hawk-eyed skies who
so sternly counteract every clump of rapture with humbling torment?
(lest we forget we are here to suffer!)
bestowing it upon our souls like a thorned wreath -a macabre paragon!
like a shadow cast by happiness, eager to consume the lingering
crumbs of joy when the light of delirium finally dies out;
so, do I dare lust for a taste of unadulterated bliss whose light casts no shadow
or contentment it is?"
[revisiting concepts, book: dirty laundry]
𝖔𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊 𝖙𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖘
"the tears of the ethers cascading from above
sanctifying my body,
as if I'm being baptized once more,
holy water fresh and bare of blessings;
thunders chanting arcane hymnals,
violet lightning irradiating the obsucity;
there's nothing purer than that.
swaying to the rhythm of the earth
with every roar, a flimsy pirouette,
water glistening underneath the full moon
-silver, like Lethe of the underworld."
[water dance, book:orange trees]

🌙
like ancient artifacts and renaissance paintings translated into poetry. something deeply archaic yet softly vivid in the words.

Grinning Enigma
Freddy is a very bad boy. Meets some people that know what he did. He tries to escape punishment, makes it [Redacted]. Freddy might be a mass-murdering troll, but he isn’t a bad person, right? Right? Disclaimer: This is not an instruction manual. If you want to be a horrible human being, go figure it out yourself. Autopsy: Writing this story gave me some degree of insight into how much I've managed to fuck up my own personality by suppressing basic needs. Now I hate myself even more. It started as a story where the MC was supposed to be a blend of the NZ-land shooter and other cancerous personalities. That way I wouldn't feel bad about torturing him. Instead I ended up witnessing all the worst aspects of my own personality, or lack thereof. I'm a horrid person, I can't even bring myself to do what's the only right thing at this point.

I Am King: Book One (fourth draft)
In the distant land of Hattan, 10-year-old Prince Beaumont remains in hiding awaiting the day he becomes a man to reclaim the crown stolen from his family. His father King Bohemond and his mother Queen Renata were killed by the usurper Rancine, who is the current ruler of his home in the Middle Islands. Beaumont left the Middle Islands as a baby and everything he knows of his home is from stories and books. All that changes when a stranger from the Middle Islands, a woman named Nasila, arrives to inform him that Rancince has learned of his location and he is no longer safe. In order to protect the home he has grown to love, Beau must travel out of Hattan and journey to the Middle Islands to seek safety among people loyal to his father that he has never met. He must put his trust in Nasila and a hired warrior named Gavin with questionable motivations. He is afraid and unprepared to take the crown, but at least his cousin Julius is with on this harrowing journey fraught with assassins, wild mythical beast, black magic, and demons. His cousin is the only person he can truly trust, but he must take a chance and put his life in the hands of others if he plans to survive. ***This is the first long-length writing I have ever undertaken, and I wish to get some critical feedback. I am not professionally trained as a writer but I have tried my best to teach myself and make the chapters as clean as possible. I believe I have reached a point where my limited skills cannot improve the work or make any more corrections. It is very difficult to show this work, but if I do not, I fear I will never improve and learn. So here it is. To anyone who lends the time to read all of this and any of my chapters. Thank you.

Lord of cauldrons
A man reincarnated to a world where cultivation ruled supreme. One were even practices like human cauldrons and dual cultivation was commonplace and a part of the culture. What was not commonplace was treating these cauldrons with any ounce of respect or affection. These cauldrons were like pills or potions to be used and consumed or thrown away. They were often just a stepping stone in one's immortal path. One man thought, "What if they were my immortal path." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My chinese knowledge is limited to wuxia/xianxia books and cultivator games and I will only follow it loosely, I have my own cultivation system which will be basis for this story The reason I am writing this is because I have yet to find a dual cultivation story that has something I really wanted to read. Using the 'cauldrons' like Pokémon and the 'cauldrons' being the main source of power. I will update this at a minimum of once per week.
