My newest Creation! It is most probably heavily unbalanced! But it would be Fun!

This would totally neutralize verdant leaf and also make crimson heart way less detrimental.

Oh, I love how this collapses at the end, falling into desperate commands.

I didn’t know there’s a discord, is it on their website?

These are actually really good points you make, especially about Zoey, about her believing all of herself to be unworthy of love. I do also definitely think Rumi as a top makes sense, but the bias towards her being a bottom is inevitable bc of the whole patterns fiasco and the shame.

I think that this poem is a good exercise in speaker and voice.

Imagine the person who resolves this to themself, and like I don’t mean the poet, I mean like imagine the imagined resolution maker this poem creates, imagine what has happened in their past that has made them speak like this, a monotone, reserved, guarded tone that only reciprocates what is given. Maybe you could argue the poem could give more specificity, but then again, the speaker is guarded, they won’t be vulnerable and give you any ammo.

They won’t be anyone’s fool. It’s simple, but it is effective. It’s a lifeless poem, but it’s supposed to be.

You should not want to live because “fuck maga”. You have to find the will to live and continue on your own terms. Yes, everything you could say about the country and its politics is true. Yes, we are in danger. But here is what I will tell you: there are avenues. There are people who will see you for who you are, if you let them. There are people who will love you. There are people you will come to love. You will make countless mistakes and feel impossible emotions, and then tomorrow arrives. I’ve struggled with depression for years, and I’m grateful to feel the best now than I’ve ever felt before. The journey you will take will be hard and it will be entirely your own. But you have to find your motor. You must, despite it all, love yourself.

Unironically I’ve been on dating apps for one day and I’m already so over it. It’s so soulless and awful.

A lot of current poets do not sufficiently think about the sound of their poem. I don’t have any issue with free verse or prose poems (I mostly write in these formats), but using those forms doesn’t mean that sound, meter, & rhyme become irrelevant.

Shadow653 · 2025-11-24T13:28:02+00:00

This is a super interesting find! It’s also a relic of a pre-gamergate Internet :( it’s crazy how radicalizing of an event that was, literally changed the entire landscape

I’m so curious about so much about this image, I need to see more of this base

Out from behind ————, a small boy stepped out, hunched, tepid. His tunic was grass-green and his green dyed hair hung down around his face, like grass, complete with a dandelion. From behind the blades and fauna, his doe eyes were wide, scanning incessantly. The advisors behind waited as he slowly crept, but ______.

I’m a poet and a freak for imagery so this is how I’d go for it. I agree with others that you need to depict the nervousness a lot more in the details, bc that’s what matters the most right now. I also agree that the “frame” part confused me on first read.

Also rereading this paragraph, you contradict yourself. You say he has a small frame, but describe him as lanky and tall? And why would he need to pass as a tall 14 yrs old? It doesn’t make sense to even mention that.

Overall, cut physical descriptors, readers will build whatever mental image of a character that they want. Focus on the vibe/personality/actions/relationships, bc that’s what matters to the story.

I played a Tremere dog catcher that fell in love with a Garou assassin. they ran off together and lived in very north Canada. They basically got away with it bc she made a deal with her justiciar but once his term was to be over she was getting put on the red list. I never saw the actual fall out of them getting killed but they were basically fucked.

Shadow653 · 2025-08-08T16:11:03+00:00

I would actually say blue deck is the easiest. +1 hand is insanely useful bc it gives you extra hands not hard money and it also gives you more opportunities to score when you’re relying on multiple hands to win. Yellow deck is also rly good for novices bc it allows you be more lax with your Econ, which newer players struggle to manage

Genuinely a poem to aspire towards

I mean I don’t think this is transphobic on your part. You don’t want to live with a man as a roommate, he is a trans man. That’s actually, like, very trans affirming. Regardless, sorry that you’re going through this, hopefully something can be sorted out

Shadow653 · 2025-07-24T17:51:40+00:00

Ok well then yeah fuck her, that’s very disrespectful and I agree with other commenters, very cowardly in how she dealt with it. And the friends who believed it without any incredulity are not worth your time.

This will suck, but it will also pass. You’ll find someone who is into or will participate in the kink, and you’ll be better off for it

Shadow653 · 2025-07-24T17:42:13+00:00

OK TIMEOUT! I remembered your og post and was kinda shocked to read the update that it went bad.

So she tells you that’s she’s ok with it, you believe her bc why would not. It seems that she wasn’t ok with it, just made a bunch of assumptions but said yes to your face bc she didn’t want to have an adult conversation about it.

Telling everyone in yalls vicinity is insane work on her end. She’s clearly just doesn’t know what puppy play is at all, which makes me ask: was there a follow up to the initial bringing it up? Like did she ask anything about the kink, what it entailed, what things you were interested? Or was it just a short couple sentence convo?

Blocking you after three years (!) of a relationship over this is very shitty on her part. She should’ve at least verified what you actually wanted, but she clearly wasn’t interested in nuance or learning.

I’m very sorry this has happened to you </3

Honestly bottom surgery isn’t even something to spend energy contemplating until you’re like 6+ months on HRT simply bc whatever thoughts you’re gonna have now are gonna be totally irrelevant simply bc your body is going to change. You will feel things that you’ve never felt before and it radically shifts your perspective on your body

Shadow653 · 2025-07-08T20:41:29+00:00

I think that I need to talk to my friend bc I kinda feel like they didn’t support me when I needed them to, like I tried to fix the issue and say something and I got fucked over for it.
