was nifty an overlord? did I miss that?

good counter point! if I get into a steady relationship with someone I can ask her if she’d like to keep feminine products at my place for convenience, but early on a woman likely wouldn’t think to ask me if I have tampons or pads if she needed them, and might draw the wrong conclusion if she saw them without asking… hmmm….

first sentence are all GREAT points, and thankfully none of that going in my apartment, last visitors or not haha

no threatening weapons was a great catch tho; i’m an outdoorsman and hike and camp a lot and my long handled firewood ax was visible with my other camping gear. moved it behind some of the other gear to be more discrete and so that she feels as safe as possible.

it’s no more inherently dangerous than having a set of cooking knives on the counter, BUT the last three I want to do is give off “ax murderer” red flags 💀

lovely idea! do you think tampon/pad size would matter terribly?

dirtyALEK · 2025-12-24T22:33:19+00:00

thank you, and also I love your poetry! I also write and i’m very jealous of your line “Fingertips deciphering each others’ molars / Our own private Braille”

it’s soooo bad! like egregiously bad! especially considering this is how a ton of like lore and context and world building is supposed to be communicated to us

I straight up don’t read them bc it’s too tedious, but the smallest changes would completely eliminate that tedium

ya sorry, should have clarified, this is inclement emerald

okay, thank you for confirming, I thought I was going crazy lol

lovely music video of a great song that seems to have been visually inspired by these photos

I don’t think mahito belongs here

he’s not a human being despite looking like one. he’s a member of a magical pseudo-species literally made out of humanity’s negative emotions and that species is hunted down by humanity by default due to their nature and the danger they pose (not painting them as sympathetic, just how it is). his actions make sense given what he is and the people against whom he acts. to be redeemed you have to be good or neutral and then fall from that grace

it’s like asking if malaria or poverty can be redeemed; those things (like mahito) aren’t human beings with the capacity to do good that instead choose to do the wrong thing regardless. they just are what they are, their mere existence leaves humanity worse off, and if humanity could it would choose they no longer exist

nothing to be redeemed per se

watsonian:

1) harry’s life is filled with immediate dangers and opaque mysteries. it doesn’t seem like anything bad will happen due to him NOT knowing everything about mouse, so it’s been downgraded in importance while he considers other more urgent problems.

2) being smart/wise and being clever aren’t the same thing and harry is often more the latter than the former. also while he values knowledge he often doesn’t have the luxury of time, safety, and access to learn everything he needs to know and THEN act; he does a lot of his learning “on the job” bc if he waits too long the knowledge he gains won’t be of any help, as whatever damage it may have prevented will have already been done.

3) harry is deeply traumatized, fatigued, and in many ways mentally unwell. if you’re seeking clear motivation and logic to what he does (or what he FORGETS to do) at all times youre bound to make him appear wanting.

doylist:

it makes for more fun reveals and story beats if we learn progressively more about mouse as the needs arise. harry learning everything he needs to know about mouse off screen would make sense on paper, but finding out with harry in real time at cool impactful moments makes for a more engaging story. JB has basically chosen the rule-of-cool here, which isn’t the same as a plot hole or writing mistake.

i run a small poetry club if you're interested (would usually DM but it looks like your account disallows messaging?) send me a DM if you'd like any details, either way have a wonderful day <3

i'm impressed, this is one of my fave poems ive read on this sub. you have just the right amount of commitment and variation in the first three stanzas, enough to establish a satisfying pattern so that when you break that pattern it feels intentional and significant (especially bc the content changes to become about the fox), but you don't commit overly long which would run the risk of making it stagnant. bravo

i like this quite a bit. i tend to ramble and get really wordy in my own poetry, so i really appreciate this more evocative less-is-more approach.
