Loves books. Dances badly. Big fan of science, skepticism and just stuff, you know? Still hopes to grow up to be a dinosaur-riding ninja-superhero-spy.

She wasn't promised forever.
"Your love will last as long as the #lantern burns," the fairy said.
She didn't waste it. Just used it now and then, to remind them.
When passions flared or faded; when they forgot.
The usual #issues.
It was enough - for a lifetime, and more.

I #eased her to the floor as her strength faded.
"Is it bad?" she whispered.
"Can hardly #notice," I replied.
"Liar," she smiled.
The #virus took her. I felt her bones #bend and break and Change.
I held her close, #exhaled.
Crying, I snapped her neck.

We thought we'd have forever.
An eternity together; #sunny days and starlit nights. Happily ever after.
But life gets busy, you know?
And in the end
#time
runs
out.
Look for me in the garden, where eternity ends.
I'll be waiting.
Forever.

She lays her head on his chest, listening to his heart #murmur.
Butterflies #wander through her stomach. Could this be lo-
No. Not love. Hunger.
Bloodlust triggers the #emergence of her fangs.
She bites. Twists. And drinks.
Sigh.
Why do all her dates end this way?

I gather all of myself
around,
and beg them—

I’m here

And they all
lead me back
to an abandoned room,
that echoes—

Old dog, new tricks: finally read some #romantasy. And if A Court of Thorns and Roses by @sarahjmaas.bsky.social is anything to go by, my romantasy reading is gonna be an awesome adventure. Intriguing world-building, compelling characters, and all the tropes you can eat. What's not to like?

He #wanders the house alone, no #staff in sight, drawn each night to one #object.
The #wonky portrait shows a bloody beast with a puzzled expression. He stares, unsure why.
At last the truth hits him.
It's not a portrait.
The beast smiles, and he smiles with it.

Jimmy was an #untamed soul, bringing fun and chaos wherever he went...and then he'd simply #fold space and #Jump away.
But after his small #snafu with the princess and the priestess, he learned an old truth.
You can run. But you can't hide.
Oh well.

She was tired of waiting for Mister Right.
So she built him instead.
From #wild hearts and #mighty body parts, and things even stranger than that.
"So where did you two meet?"
Graveyards are great for #witchcraft.

i had never heard
the stars symphonious
songs of love
until that night i met you
'neath a moonlight empyrean
& as you smiled at me
their serendipitous melodies
filled the skies
soaring far beyond
saturn's stunning rings of ice
melting my heart
knowing that
i'd be forever yours

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The Beast #personified savagery. What was I supposed to think?
I heard the girl's soft talk turn to #shallow gasps. Screams. #Struggles.
So I kicked the door down. And two things became clear.
One.
They were...not #fighting.
And two.
He really was a hairy bugger.

Recall the whisper
of broken halls
where shadows breathe

a white rose rises
pale and trembling
granting hope
yet haunted by illusion
the soul dissolves

She's no #common fairy. She has a job to do.
She finds her victims while they're sleeping.
She takes what she needs, leaves a #shallow #memory of rusted pain. And some change.
Then the tooth fairy moves on, like a #leaf in the wind.
A gig's a gig, you know?

Be sensible, they tell her. Keep both feet on the ground.
But at night she dreams of flying.
She gets higher with each swing. Higher. Higher.
At the #apogee she lets go, between the #green grass and the #starry skies.
And just for a second, she's flying.
It's enough.
