Daily Schedule for the Exiled | a poem for c!tommy 8:00 AM Wake up. Shake the water from your hair, wring it from your shirt, climb out of the ocean that keeps dragging you back home. 8:15 AM Leave footprints on the sand. When the tide comes, swallows up your shadow, keep leaving footprints. The ocean is hungry. Keep giving it something to eat. 8:45 AM Give yourself something to eat. 8:50 AM Let it go cold. 9:00 AM Fill your time with anything that scrapes at the static in your mind–– ticking seconds off a compass needle, building bridges as bent as your best friend’s cursive, journal entries in a language you never learned. 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Wait for someone to visit. 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM Wait for someone to leave. 6:30 PM When the sun sets, the cold comes crawling over the backs of the mountains. The ghost of your brother stains your palms, streaks the colors of his old flag when he puts his hands in yours. Stop shying away. Take the blue––hold it til it drips through your fingers, hold it like his heart. 7:00 PM Don’t worry, he’ll leave too. 8:00 PM Lie down for the night. Pull the covers up, breakers lapping, soft foam against your chin. Close your eyes. Your body remembers the way back home. Your body can't forget. Don't worry, you’ll rise again in the morning.

yes! i'm not sure if this one's quite finished, it might need another small stanza before the final one, but here you go (and here @thebeautifulfantastic you asked for 12 too)

cclingyduo: a journey through friendship

MY FRIEND AND I ARE LEAVING, a cclingy poem - see you around, and thank you.

and a note from the author under the cut :))

should i abandon/archive my dsmp sideblog (@loyallium) and return to posting all my dsmp things to my main?

pros: the dsmp is really important to me and i love seeing my other mutuals' interests even when i don't know what they are, so i want to be able to share my biggest interest too. i want fanart & meta posts & everything mixed amongst my other aesthetic/life/miscellaneous posts on here bc my blog is a scrapbook of Me and dsmp is a big part of me

cons: currently the people who follow my sideblog are all (obviously) dsmp fans, so if i archive it and merge to my main i don't know how many of them will follow me, since it won't Only be dsmp content anymore. also the other con is considering wht would happen to everything i have on that blog already––i wouldn't delete it, but a primary use of tumblr for me is archiving/sorting/cataloguing things, so it could be confusing/annoying to have half my dsmp content on one blog and half on another, unless i went through and moved a lot of it over to my main (which i don't see myself going through the effort of doing, except for maybe some of my original content / l'sonas' stuff)
