got reminded of this haunting dialogue today from the short story Dragged Fighting from His Tomb by Barry Hannah

"Tell me the most exquisite truths you know."
“I’ve soiled myself, you gray motherfucker,” said the old guy. “Get on with it. No profanity necessary,” I said. “I believe in Jehovah, the Lord; in Jesus Christ, his son; and in the Holy Ghost. I believe in the Trinity of God’s bride, the church. To be honest. To be square with your neighbor. To be American and free,” he said. “I asked for the truths, not beliefs,” I said. “But I don’t understand what you mean,” said the shivering home guard. “Give me an example.” “You’re thrice as old as I. You should give me the examples. For instance: Where is the angry machine of all of us? Why is God such a blurred magician? Why are you begging for your life if you believe those things? Prove to me that you’re better than the rabbits we ate last night.”

i am once again asking #orv readers to check out the short story Through the Flash from the collection Friday Black by Adjei-Brenyah. beautiful, gut wrenching timeloop angst. less than 20 pages
book cover for the short story collection titled Friday Black by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah We’ve all seen it so many times, but I still cry, because, when it comes, I know for sure we are infinite. All you feel is infinite, knowing all the falls and leaps and sweet and death that’s ever been will be trumped by the wall of nuclear flying at you. You of all people. Then, before you’re gone, you know that all that’s ever been will still be, even if there are no tomorrows. Even the apocalypse isn’t the end. That, you could only know when you’re standing before a light so bright it obliterates you. And if you are alone, posed like a dancer, when it comes, you feel silly and scared. And if you are with your family, or anyone at all, when it comes, you feel silly and scared, but at least not alone.

read Grief is the thing with feathers by max porter today and it's super short, a quick afternoon read, but man does it pack a punch. one of the most interesting anatomies of grief i've ever read. the crow landed somewhere tender and frayed in me, a place that hangs in thin bleeding shreds
I took them out without wellies so before we’d even got down the road their little toes were aching. They both whinged and we all felt, the three of us, that without her things didn’t work as they should. They pitied me. I felt acutely embarrassed that my brilliance as a father had been exposed as wholly reliant upon her. Perhaps if I’d known it was a dress rehearsal for the rest of our lives I would have said BUCK UP YOU LITTLE TURDS, or HELP ME. Or take me, take me instead please.

my gay ass loves rofan but that's not feminism and i don't rly see ur enemies to lovers ship (especially where a man is violent with a woman) as a feminist venture either. i do enjoy proper women-centric narratives on het relations however, from my recent reads (Lispector):
he’d also said: “Let yourself go, take it easy, don’t strain yourself to make it work—forget all about what happened and everything will fall back into place naturally.” And he patted her on the back, which flattered her and made her blush with pleasure. But in her humble opinion one order seemed to cancel the other, as if they’d asked her to eat flour and whistle at the same time. To combine them she’d recently resorted to a trick: that glass of milk that had ended up gaining a secret power, every sip of which contained the near-taste of a word and renewed that firm pat on the back, she’d take that glass of milk into the living room, where she’d sit “very naturally,” pretending not to care at all, “not straining herself”—and thereby cleverly carrying out the second order. “It doesn’t matter if I gain weight,” she thought, looks had never been the point. opening passage to Jimmy and I by Clarice Lispector: I still remember Jimmy, that boy with the tousled chestnut hair, covering the elongated skull of a born rebel. I remember Jimmy, his hair and his ideas. Jimmy thought that nothing is as good as nature. That if two people like each other the only thing to do is love each other, simple as that. That everything else, in mankind, that gets separated from this simplicity belonging to the start of the world, is affectation, and froth. Had those ideas sprung from another head, I wouldn’t have even put up with listening to them. But there was the excuse of Jimmy’s skull and there was, above all the excuse of his bright teeth and his clear smile of a contented animal. Honestly, I was just looking for an excuse to like Jimmy. And to go along with his ideas. Little by little I was adapting to his elongated head. What could I do, after all? Since I was a little girl I had seen and felt the predominance of men’s ideas over women’s. Mama, before she got married, according to Aunt Emília, was a firecracker, a tempestuous redhead, with thoughts of her own about liberty and equality for women. But then along came Papa, very serious and tall, with thoughts of his own too, about . . . liberty and equality for women. The trouble was in the coinciding subject matter. There was a collision. And nowadays Mama sews and embroiders and sings at the piano and makes little cakes on Saturdays, all like clockwork and cheerfully. She has ideas of her own, still, but they all come down to one: a wife should always go along with her husband, as the accessory goes along with the principal (my analogy, the result of Law School classes).

Lispector is slowly becoming my new fav, the way she renders the female psyche in unusual colors and images. The Buffalo is a breathless unraveling of a woman reacting to everything that seems to remind her of her own cage of love & forgiveness (two christian duties of a woman/wife)
My favorite quote from The Buffalo by Clarice Lispector But where, where to find the animal that would teach her to have her own hatred? the hatred that was hers by right but that lay excruciatingly out of reach? where could she learn to hate so as not to die of love? And from whom? The world of spring, the world of beasts that in spring Christianize themselves with paws that claw but do not wound… oh no more of this world! no more of this perfume, of this weary panting, no more of this forgiveness in everything that will die one day as if made to surrender. Never forgiveness, if that woman forgave one more time, even just once, her life would be lost—

with these deaths in order to prepare her mind for marriage. to become a woman. this monster we need to "defeat" is the most horrific one so far & the most apt representation of womanhood, being married off to become a deformity of reproductive labor, a birthing body

A whole beautiful book meditating on the color blue (On Being Blue by William H Gass) my man has done it again
Of the colors, blue and green have the greatest emotional range. Sad reds and melancholy yellows are difficult to turn up. Among the ancient elements, blue occurs everywhere: in ice and water, in the flame as purely as in the flower, overhead and inside caves, covering fruit and oozing out of clay. Although green enlivens the earth and mixes in the ocean, and we find it, copperish, in fire; green air, green skies, are rare. Gray and brown are widely distributed, but there are no joyful swatches of either, or any of exuberant black, sullen pink, or acquiescent orange. Blue is therefore most suitable as the color of interior life. Whether slick light sharp high bright thin quick sour new and cool or low deep sweet dark soft slow smooth heavy old and warm: blue moves easily among them all, and all profoundly qualify our states of feeling.

while i speculate (still at ch100) that kse's brand of eldritch is going to be closer to this creepypasta on prion disease. the terror of seeing something strange & unfamiliar slowly (or suddenly) replace someone you know, a transformation that makes your blood run cold and ask

"Who are you?"

making a #braunsol canon gay crimes list #블솔 #gsgw
# domestic activities - watch TV together in living room - have pleasing morning chats over coffee - play word games together to calm KSE down - bedtime chatting # couple tendencies - Talking to Braun helps calm KSE down. - Braun is overeager about murking people KSE hates/are mean to KSE - Distracts Braun from murder attempts by asking him out on (house) dates. (“Let’s watch some variety TV when we get back.”) - KSE cuddles with Braun during creepypasta missions to comfort himself. - When Braun gets upset or annoyed or stressed, KSE pacifies & comforts him with praises and headpats. - “Braun-ah”
