I am a madman immortalising his passion in brushstrokes and sculptures; not the dainty maiden yearning by the window, breeze entangling her hair.

You are so silly. But I am the silliest. All I could muster when I lingered at the door was "goodnight".

"aren't you being a little mean? it's just some ai." No. We can be meaner. Harsher. More demonic. More diabolical. Humiliate harder. Throw alley-oops and dunk on their pathetic attempts to masquerade as a creative person.

That soul is yours! It’s something you and all the people who love you made together! And so… you mustn’t lose it!

If you are a private poet, then your vocabulary is limited by your obsessions. In fact, most poets write the same poem over and over.

I love you. I loved you before and I love you now. So I hope you remain protected, cared for and in abundance. As you have been with, and without me.

The gaps between your fingers are not made for weaving them with mine. They are made to be closed by mine, so that none of our love may spill from our grasp.

As someone who reads a combination of booktok/romantasy novels, contemporary and Asian lit fiction, I am so confused about the existence of omegaverse as an actual theme/trope/genre

All the loose ends would surround me again in the shape of your face.

Trying to draft out a prologue of what should be a light-hearted, self-indulgent novel, but the first sentence is the dark reality of being a divorced woman in a collectivist, misogynist society.

I never wanted to love you. I never wanted, 'till death do we two part.' Condescend, stay my friend – how do I start not to love you?

"how much of a yearner are you?" I have a whole folder filled with (unsent, draft) letters I've written for just one person

Having clocked in ~27 hours into Endfield since launch day I can safely say I NEED to pull myself away from this game or I'm spending my entire days just dealing with the Eco-Farm

A lil art warm up. Wanted to draw a blushing Pogranichnik. "That is something...odd to say to a person, Endmin." What did you say to him, Endmin? 😘 #arknightsendfield #pogranichnik

endmin yume with pogranichnik for me

Like two doomed ships that pass in storm We had crossed each other's way: But we made no sign, we said no word, We had no word to say; For we did not meet in the holy night, But in the shameful day.

Art inspired by Kotteri's (x.com/286meow) #Veil! Finally hopped on the art trend with my OCs, Kaya and Hamza. #originalcharacters

though this character has been retired for many reasons, I'm still infatuated in how much I drew her back in the day. Kaya dressed as Spectral Necromancer (because she would have been The Spectral Necromancer)

I find the more I think, the harder it is for me to breathe. When were you happy? And how long has that been?

Now you see me. Now you don't. Now you say you love me. Pretty soon you won't.

Make people deal with you, but make sure that dealing with you is always a positive and kind experience.
