IM ESPIRICALESPER AND IM FINE

god i am FASCINATED by the works of vermin's take on pestilence and art and violence and how strings those things together so fucking tightly. love a book with fucking THEMES!!!!! giant insects that feast on artistic masterpieces! ecdytoxin contamination inspiring voracious relentless creativity! the revivalist movement, an entire artistic era of tiliard, being entirely built on its back - but it being a political era as well, a period of time defined by whimsy and refinement and beauty that fundamentally could not exist without the resilience of the cockroaches it continually tries to exterminate! a pest is just a creature that hasn't found its purpose yet. you haven't found your purpose yet, guylag. aufhocker, though, that's a different story. art is a bug to be squashed until it can be exploited as a means of political violence. distilled into perfumes and extracted as opera and commissioned as portraiture. creation itself is a plague that you cannot escape. your stories give you the will to survive anything but at what cost do you survive... what of you survives... how can you love your art when it only exists to channel and deliver you from the deep, endless violence you are forced to endure? there's no way to separate it. your suffering is your politic is your art is your filth. you are the vermin and these are your works. jesus fucking CHRIST!!!!!

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

The first attested cat in Japan was given to a young 9th century emperor and his diary about it includes such gems as 'I affixed a bow about its neck, but it did not remain for long.", "The color of the fur is peerless. None could find the words to describe it, although one said it was reminiscent of the deepest ink.", "When it lies down, it curls in a circle like a coin. You cannot see its feet. It’s as if it were circular Bi disk." and "I am convinced it is superior to all other cats.” Basically posting about how his void is the best little void and so good at getting really round

i have a suggestion

me too

i agree so much about making your blorbos pathetic but i do fear that many take this to mean 'make them more traditionally feminine/submissive' which genuinely hurts my soul. make your blorbos pathetic in interesting character-oriented ways. understand their neuroses and turn the dials up to eleven. juxtapose the parts of life they handle extremely well with the parts of their lives that make them eat shit. make them angry. make them cold. make them pave their own way to hell while building walls preventing them from seeing any other way. please i'm begging you no more pathetic as an euphemism for bottoming im gonna mclose it.

my dad is very intensely involved a battle with his city’s public administration over a playground they have tried to forcibly remove like five times in the past 20 years and DID remove once in like 2005 but then had to rebuild because my dad was such a pain in their asses and came through with undeniable receipts of the zoning plan from the 60s/the historic/cultural value of the urban planning…. like there’s a woman in the city office who is his arch nemesis. he is literally the daredevil of urban planning

everyone in the tags needs to stop saying they want to fuck my dad.

I saw a dude with an American flag tattoo on his arm (there were a LOT of boyfriends of bisexual women at this event) and I said "is that an American flag tattoo?" and he was like "yeah" and I was like "...why?" and he was like "I had 16 cousins die serving this country" lollll
