If you wish to follow me then know that in so doing in place of a Dark Lord you would have a queen! Not dark but beautiful as the dawn! Treacherous as the Sea! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!
I block very liberally. Nothing personal is meant by it.
I have many posts queued. They aren't always tagged b/c it's way more work on mobile.
You’ll see explanations for frequently used tags under the cut.
“My posts” are text posts I’m the OP of.
“Poetry” is poetry that I’ve reblogged OR written.
“Passages” is pieces of prose that don’t qualify as poetry (there might be some overlap) Also as of 8/23/24 I only just started using this tag so it'll be empty for a minute.
“Writing Mechanics” is writing advice or similar meta discussion of writing.
"Writing Meta" is anything else about writing communities, the practice, or my general thoughts.
“Brianna original writing” is something that I wrote and linked here or posted here!
“Brianna’s highposting again” is silliness (or deeply emotional stuff) that I posted while high.
“My face” is selfies and such. Don’t dig too deep you’ll get jumpscared.
Edit, new additions:
"Witchsongs" was an old tag I used for sharing different art, images, songs, and such that fit into a spooky aesthetic. We're bringing it back babey
"Trans thoughts" is my tag for my own personal reflections on transness and transitioning. There's definitely older trans thoughts that were posted before i started collecting them.
I also tag stuff for The Masquerade (the Baru Cormorant books), Wheel of Time (show and books), and a few other fandoms. Just a heads up I am very forgetful and often don't tag spoilers. Sorry! :(
"on meat" is gore. I write gothic horror, (and schlocky riffs on gothic horror) gore's part of the trade I'm afraid
"Brianna's wizardposting again" is me being silly, and crafting other worlds, or posting about the majestic and magisterial ziggurat
"Spiders" is my tag for spiders. I'd get more fun with that tag, but i don't want to accidentally trigger someone's phobia.
"Bri's on the pole" <- me talking about pole dance, OR videos or pictures of me on the pole
“Therrin” <- that’s my THE character of all time. Protag and PoV to two major WiPs of mine
Also feel free to check out the actual blog website https://briannysey.tumblr.com/ I put a decent chunk of work into it lmao

“The role of the artist is exactly the same role, I think, as the role of the lover. If you love somebody, you honor at least two necessities at once. One of them is to recognize something very dangerous, or very difficult. Many people cannot recognize it at all, that you may also be loved; love is like a mirror. In any case, if you do love somebody, you honor the necessity endlessly, and being at the mercy of that love, you try to correct the person whom you love. Now, that’s a two-way street. You’ve also got to be corrected. As I said, the people produce the artist, and it’s true. The artist also produces the people. And that’s a very violent and terrifying act of love. The role of the artist and the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to make you conscious of the things you don’t see. Insofar as that is true, in that effort, I become conscious of the things that I don’t see. And I will not see without you, and vice versa, you will not see without me. No one wants to see more than he sees. You have to be driven to see what you see. The only way you can get through it is to accept that two-way street which I call love. You can call it a poem, you can call it whatever you like. That’s how people grow up. An artist is here not to give you answers but to ask you questions.”
— James Baldwin, “The Black Scholar Interviews James Baldwin,” Conversations with James Baldwin (edited by Fred L. Standley and Louis H. Pratt)
i stayed up late to finish a book out of sheer delight in the book for the first time in over a year i think. It’s so thrilling. Best experience in the world
"baru," iscend said, "what's been done to me can never be undone. do you understand that?"

we sometimes call people radiant, but there's two types of radiant a person can come in. one is gentle, like the light that draws the sunflower open. and the other is the type that you fear will sear you to ash

relevant to my last post, in highschool i was part of a choir held at a world class music university. Not that I was any good. The choir was a weird mix of folks from all over the city. But about half of the students there were folks who'd been getting private music lessons all their lives in preparation for careers in opera. I passed the audition because I was one of like 3 folks who auditioned who could sing bass and ☝️though I could not find a note, I could hold it.
anyways, pitch dysphoria + being surrounded by future world class singers and having to try to hold your own well enough so you don't tank their performances, all while having a heart rending crush on the opera girlie on the other side of the risers who won't look twice at you because she's making googoo eyes on tall greek boy with a voice like an angel does change you as a person.
on that note (heh), I know folks compare computer science to magic constantly; but music is genuine wizardry. Whenever I had to hear someone pull out terms like "Dorian Mode" and "Diatonic Scale" while pointing to the runes that are sheet music the surface of my brain gets slick like an oil spill. I'm not smart enough for it. I've just had the good fortune to spend much of my life surrounded by folks who are.

because i think it just plain does not apply to me. every new thing you learn about me confuses and baffles even more. so much shit has gone on, nothing is uniquely influential on the whole. Just when you think you've got me figured out, a new absurdity is unveild

a roommate's grandfather, a man i have known (loosely) for 15 years has just this evening revealed to me that his name is Emmerich. Are you shitting me? Walking around with a name of that bearing and you're keeping hidden behind a nickname of 'Paul'? What on earth?
of course there is a slightly higher caliber of name above Emmerich, and that is trans folks who choose old folks' names. I met a tgirl once named Agnes. Instant stars in my eyes. Everything I seek to be in life is modeled after this absolute titan of a woman
