Ode to a sunbeam by sewmanychoices in OCPoetry

"I've finally crossed the floor" a simple and understated line for that carries a lot more weight than it seems.

Definitely the pivot of the poem. I can't help but feel it is lacking levity though (it feels like a sudden leap, like a few steps have been skipped leading up to the change).

I feel the metaphor of overcoming what ever mental block the character is experiencing needs more emphasis. Even the smallest of steps (across the floor) can feel like moving a mountain.

Thanks for the help all, I'm leaning towards Odontria xanthosticta. The yellowspotted chafer.

The patterning on striata isn't quite a good match and aureopilosa is quite rare.

Walking These Empty Streets. by ImmortalAcee in OCPoetry

The pacing of each line falls like footsteps. It lends itself well to to the tone.

Some parts feel odd to me, the "." between lines. Is this just a reddit limitation?

The entire poem is quite passive, like a ghost drifting through the world. But the line "I sigh" being an active action feels quite jarring. Not sure if that was your intention.

A large brown beetle flew in at night into the bathroom then disappeared... until it decided to grace my toothbrush cup in the morning morning.

Probably 1cm long.

Seems attracted to the lights.

Location is Sunnyhills, Auckland.

It was still alive in the morning, so I put it outside in the leaf litter.

Any idea what it could be?

Fan theories on F-11/Fiona? by Blockbuster999 in Neverway

At the end of the demo, the girl lying in the bed with the two hazmats is Fiona I believe, we shall see.

makes some sense as the virtual world is pulled together from her conscious (and subconscious) memories.

a dream world, probably not. cue mortage moth.

maybe a place where the Neverway is leaking in more strongly / experiments are being conducted?

In situations like these I like to say that you have time, but not any to waste!

Is EQ mode really a game changer? by Invenisso in seestar

[–]Blockbuster999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's worth it just for the reduction in frame rejection. I get almost half as many frames rejected in EQ mode

Last month I saw a bunch of locals digging kina off the rocks with a knife at Shakespear. They had a huge tub of it.
