Tfw you'll live forever but only in fragments πππ
Is it possible to develop a voice in writing with such coherence and quiet authority that I can do away with narrative structure? (Plot?) In the dream story, all thatβs holding it together now is the voice, and maybe the imageryβholding it together against its own tendency to fragment, to fly apart. The pieces want to return to some other orderβnot with each otherβbut I compel them quite quietly to hold together my way.

it's so fucked up that francis spent months thinking about wrapping his hands around james's neck in anger and instead their relationship ends with him gently caressing his throat
oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what theyβve been through

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

β from Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson
"[...] Revising the perceived sad ending of the entry, Geryon again borrows from βRed Meat,β this time its final fragment, writing, βAll over the world the beautiful red breezes went on blowing hand/ in hand,β shifting away from self-centering and instead highlighting redβs continuance without him and its propensity for connection, despite Geryonβs own alienation. Redness is not exclusive to boys but can belong to breezes too."
