understanding poetry is very simple. poems are good when they make you sit on your kitchen floor and scream
Sometimes, for me, living is tryna fish my soul out of whatever dark wormhole of my overthinking brain it disappeared into.
writer problems: trying to figure out how many chapters you’re going to stall until An Event™
“...Who are you? Stanley? Even Stanley is more energetic than you. Stanley!”
“References to The Office are not keeping me awake. Sleep is sacred. Now fuck off.”
“I’m going back to bed.”
“You’ve only been awake for two hours?”
“Did I fucking stutter?”
Happy summer exchange season! This is for @autumnalpalmetto, who asked for Andrew friendship with the rest of the Foxes/Andreil for the @aftgexchange event.
I hope you enjoy!

At first, Andrew suspected it was just a bad day. A heaviness in his head, a fog that made him pay less attention to practice than normal. He brushed both Neil’s concern and Kevin’s anger off in equal measure, just wanting to get back to his room and sleep for the rest of the day.
Neil didn’t comment when he burrowed beneath his blankets and didn’t talk for the rest of the night. The junkie eventually left him to sleep and watched games with Kevin in his room, but Andrew could feel his eyes on him as he walked away. At the moment, he was too tired to muster up the energy to feel bad about pushing him away. Neil could handle Andrew’s moods.
His bad day theory was proven wrong when he woke up with a throbbing headache. He sits up, only to find the world was tilting a little bit. Groaning, he lays back down. “Fuck.”

It's 10:52 and I just woke up from a nap. Why am I napping at night, you may ask? It's cuz I'm a HEATHEN.
But no I been thinking. What the fuck is up with people going the Egyptians couldn't build the pyramids, they didn't know calculus. That's a thing right? Tell me if I'm wrong.
But I'm be operating under the presumptions that it is. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW IT'S NOT A THING. MOTHERFUCKING AUGUSTUS CAESER BURNT DOWN THE GREAT LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA. Also, like, if Isaac Newton discovered calculus in the 1600s, some 600 years after the dark ages, how come the Egpytians couldn't do it? They got together in 3100 BCE and production started in like 2500 BCE. Good timing to figure out what calculus is.
These are my thoughts in this fine evening. I must study now and hope to find sleep in a few hours. Good night.
aftg au but Tilda gave Andrew to his father who is the head of another mob family part four (parts 1 - 2 - 3)
It wasn't difficult to convince Neil to sign in with the foxes, Andrew just had to say exy five times and Neil said you got me there. Andrew called his father and told him about Nathaniel
you see, Andrew's father wanted to take down the Moryimas and he wasn't nearly strong enough, but if Andrew played his cards right he could use Neil to make a deal with the Harfords because when Mary and Nathaniel went to Andrew's father, he wasn't powerful enough to even think about it. But now??? if they talk, they could eat the Moryimas in a fancy plate. just the second branch actually, but still fancy plate and golden spoon. Diamond knife maybe.
however, it was dangerous. Andrew's father didn't send his son as a spy inside the Nest because Andrew would end up dead or kidnapped and it would be for nothing. Having Kevin and Neil with him will not get Andrew killed as easily but it would bring attention and danger to Andrew anyway
not that Andrew's father is weak, actually he is so powerful that i cant even say his name. Is not me without creativity for a name, noo, is the mob families and the FBI threatening me
When Neil arrived, Andrew, Aaron, Nicky and Kevin were waiting for him at the airport. Kevin didn't trust Andrew with the new kid because maybe just maybe when Andrew said he convinced Neil to join the team, he also said "i hate him, he's stupid. Gonna end up dead"
he does hate Neil (Neil didn't like the name Nathaniel so Andrew was using Neil and Abram to call him), because the junkie insisted on asking Andrew to admit that he likes exy. how dare him
Andrew was surprised when Neil said hi to him and not to Aaron, both of them were wearing black and had similar hair cut but Neil just stare at them and found Andrew.
andrew: whats this warm felling inside my heart
aaron: new kid has eyes, good for them
they talked in the car and Neil crushed Nicky's dream saying that he doesn't swing.
andrew: why im sad??
Andrew did not told Nicky that the rabbit was all around the world and probably knew germany so Nicky gossiped about Neil being so so handsome until Andrew glared at him
Later, when they were at Wymack's he promised that he was safe, that Wymack wasn't a bad men.
His fake brown eyes were bright like the sun when he saw the court (Andrew wanted to punch him then carefully cup his face and take off that fake brown so he could see the strong blue after so many years)
the days passed with Kevin training with them and Andrew and Neil telling each other truths, Andrew made a deal with Neil, if Neil stayed, Andrew would protect him, Neil is keeping Kevin's interest anyway. Nicky loved Neil and Aaron ignored Neil
When the upperclassmen arrived and the coach said the Ravens changed districts Andrew guessed that Kevin already knew because he wasn't panicking, so Andrew made Kevin understand that it wasn't okay hide important things from people who want to protect you, Kevin!
what Andrew didn't understood was why Neil wasn't running? like he is owned by the Ravens, Andrew's father said so, why Riko coming closer wouldn't be a reason for Neil to go in rabbit mode?
did he trusted Andrew's protection that much? Oh, no, the warm felling again Andrew will ignore it. Fellings aren't real if you ignore them enough.
but no, Neil didn't knew that he is owned by the Moryimas, they were in the roof when Andrew told him and Neil stopped breathing and looked ready to run. Andrew hold him by his neck and said "We have a deal, rabbit, do your part and I will protect you", then they smoked in silence for a long time
Dan and Matt were quick in adopting Neil and saying that they were sorry about the monsters
Neil had to bite his tongue until he felt the blood so he wouldn't defend Andrew.
Neil learned to like Matt and Dan eventually, they were nice and when Neil said stop calling them monster or die by my hands! they stopped.
Andrew told Neil about Renee, not her secrets, just enough to not startle the rabbit
even so, the rabbit was startled. she had something dark, but she was trying to be better, she was sweet and nice. Neil could see she and Andrew dating like Matt said
(when Neil asked about it, Andrew's ears went pink and he glared at Neil for solid five minutes then said "ask Renee", when Neil did, Renee told him Andrew is gay)
Allison and Seth. Neil hated them. They just wouldn't stop calling Andrew a monster, it was so annoying that Andrew had to hold Neil to stop him from punching Seth and gutting Allison
after Neil screamed at Seth "who the fuck do you think you are to judge people? say shit about Andrew's lot but they are your team, respect them or you are too perfect for that? You, drugged out of you mind? What's wrong with you? Are you jealous of Kevin because if you are, just get better than him! You have potential but you throw it away, you throw everything away, you can't even hold your relationship for more than 3 days! Wake up, Gordon, stop hiding behind your hate" things got better
slowly the foxes would learn team work but not at time for their first game, they lost but it wasn't so ugly, it was better than usual, better enough that they had an interview
i feel like we’re underappreciating the comedic gold that is andrew “i confessed to killing my mother during a random team meeting” “i broke the arm of the mafia man threatening my sort-of-boyfriend on live tv” “i threatened to murder anyone who steps within 10 feet of me” “i went toe to toe against the japanese mafia for a couple of dumbass stick ball players” minyard being neil’s impulse control
I also write poetry. I prolly write more poetry than anything else really.
Anger is easy to feel.
Easier to manage than abandonment,
Easier to manage than bitter disappointment,
Easier to manage than crippling despair.
It is so easy to feel fiery fury,
And expect justice to soothe those flames.
It is so easy to be in denial
To cling to it.
To let it have you think things can be different,
That it can be better.
If only you are are angry enough,
Passionate enough to command change in every facet of the universe.
So yes, anger is easy.
Easy to swallow,
Easy to let burn,
Easy to pull out and use as a shield.
It is easy as it is empty.
Fruitless in its gains
Barren in its answers
A tempting, hellish, warm, void for the lost who cannot deal with the cold, unfeeling nature of life.
And yet to embrace life as frigid is to surrender.
It is to resign yourself to a dreary, insipid existence,
An existence of the same ruthless, unwavering pain.
Rage cannot change circumstance,
But submission will yield no revolution.
Be enraged,
Angry,
Pissed,
Fucking furious.
For you burn bright as you do, if only for yourself.
Be weary and disillusioned when there is nothing left but Death’s waiting hand,
Be weary and disillusioned when you can do no more.
Yield your rage when there is nothing left to burn.
It is easy to be angry.
Easier than holding expectations,
Easier than nobility,
Easier than infinite patience.
And for peace, it is just.
okay people who have been fighting to unwhitewash the clones, now is your time to help māori!!
What’s happening
- 182.41 hectares of our ancestral land in Wairarapa has come up for sale.
- This whenua backs onto our maunga Tararua, our awa, Waiohine and is near our whānau urupā, Te Uru o Tāneroa.
- The tender price is between $1.2-1.5 million.
- Our whānau are trying to raise money to meet the tender price.
- Our iwi has not settled, so we have no collective financial base.
- Our whānau want to buy back our whenua and establish papakāinga and sustainable business to bring our people home to Wairarapa.
If the tender is unsuccessful they will keep all donations for the next bit of land that comes up
(information has been copied from @/amscraig on twitter, who is a member of the iwi attempting to reclaim their land)
it is so disappointing that this is the only option to reclaim illegally stolen land for the iwi, but the government wont work towards settlement with many iwi so we have no other choice
if you have any money avaliable to donate please do, anything would be appreciated!
honestly, to get back to creating things and I missed having a blog to document it all so 😌
