the whole "okay i have Felt The Emotion i'm done feeling it now it's time to do something else and feel totally different :)" thing + getting mad when the Feeling Totally Different doesn't happen is baffling and unreasonable when presented ^like that, but the other thing is that sometimes that straight up just does happen, huh. like you cry a little maybe and then you take a deep breath and suddenly you Genuinely don't care. [alarms begin blaring nearby, making me flinch] whoa ha ha wonder who those are for :)

like no my principles/beliefs/habits are not Adaptive or Good but like 45% of the time they're CORRECT which makes it KIND OF DIFFICULT to feel good about not doing them anymore !

the sibling headcanon is valorized as the safer, more normal, and less "parasocial" counterpart to shipping ccs because of the belief that they don't tick off the same icky checkboxes that shipping does, such as imposing the loaded implications of a differently natured and more charged relationship status onto two (or more) people who are merely friends (or coworkers, lol), not considering a friendship as "enough" to be able to hold all these interactions and so they must be something more, reading into the facets of their existing relationship for "proof", and generally treating the details of a person's life as something you can play tuoys with. except they do tick off those checkboxes like they literally do. like all of those things also apply to sibling headcanons as well. like.

having engaged some with poetry in workshop settings and as a reader, I've come to think that a part of what makes a good poem is sort of creating a personal language, a microworld of language in which certain words are admissible and certain words are not. you can feel this. sometimes a word is used in a poem and it jangles at you, it feels wrong and awkward and out of place. shoehorned in. but in an elegantly constructed poem, the unexpected arrives with the air of resetting what was previously known and casting it in a new light. “previously known” comes from the other words in the poem and the way they fit with each other. every poet and every poem seems to have a sense of its natural language, and what sounds stilted and stupid in the hands of one poet sounds lovely and fluid in the work of another. which seems to indicate that what matters is not a mastery of many words, but a mastery of few.
