This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

  • I always felt like my little sister’s Father’s Day post was just a front

    For the other 364 days she was causing problems

    And maybe it was

    Maybe she didn’t give her dad a second thought half the time

    But I miss that post this year

    And the post on Mother’s Day

    Such heavy occurrences

    Losing a sibling is like losing a limb

    And a piece of your heart that grew in them

    There are times I remember when I was irritated by her

    And now feel badly because

    Even though she was being exasperating

    She was still here

    Remembering back to those emotions

    I don’t just remember the event I remember the feeling of the event

    Somewhere in my heart I truly believed we would grow old together

    Broken now

    Such a dream

    To grow old with someone

    Even just a sibling

    Just

    Even with a sibling

    When my parents die I will be truly alone

    I am the one trapped in this dream

    Hello Chester

    You’re going to make me cry

    Yup you’ve got me crying

    My battle symphony

    Yes maybe maybe I needed to cry a bit

    I love you Chester

    Your timing is impeccable

    As usual

    Just don’t give up on me

    I’m going to pick myself up off the ground until my body won’t go anymore

    I’m trying to

    To live to honour you

    And your friend

    And all the people I’ve lost along the way to

    Shouldering the burden they and you carried

    I’m sorry I couldn’t take it until it’s too late

    Melissa I miss ya

    So much

    I’m on the corner of thought and spirits

    I feel your warmth

    I hope your dad does too

    Whatever this feeling is

    It’s like that moment before someone, who you know who it is, enters the room

    It’s like Schrodinger’s cat

    Except the moment before they enter the room and become themselves

    Never ends

    Like they’re both there and not there

    Beyond humanity

    They always say keep going

    For some reason I’m listening

    Don’t give up on me, okay, Chester?

    I am convinced my body failing is a manifestation of my holding in my true self for the sake of society

    Can’t solve that

    But continue

    To continue

    If this is a dream

    Thank you for the stars

    Resident Big Burning Ball of Fire included

    I’d have no one if not for them

    Someone to see

    Send me someone to see please

    Someone who sees me

    I know that’s the hard part

    I want someone to come running but know I have touching issues so they stop just a bit aways

    Say they found me

    Yeah that was the fantasy

    Instead I live a life of watching lights go out

    I want to make this world better

    One where lives like my sister’s don’t happen

    Cruel and short

    And they looked around and thought they were civilised

  • How do you want to retire?

    I’ve been laughing at this prompt all day

    I was already partially forced to “retire”

    By my body

    I wanted to retire after a fulfilling life

    What a joke that was

    I feel like I will leave this world thinking “was this it?”

    No reward for having worked hard for most of my living life

    My working hard doesn’t scale to their working hard

    My exhaustion is just part of it

    Retire to a small cabin in the forest with a beautiful clearing nearby

    Have the ability to have food delivered

    Maybe live with my cook and cleaner

    Have some fun

    And that’s where it gets funny because I don’t get to have fun

    So it’s just sort of a funny little fantasy

    It’s just sort of been mocking me all day

  • I could almost hear Hermes’ crooked laughter when I discovered that Vega, the boy and his dagger, as I call him and his companion in the sky, were part of the lyre

    Hell,

    I almost did

    Oh you just so happened to be looking up at the lyre

    Oh the lyre

    It’s the boy and his dagger now

    Painting my own beliefs into the sky

    My own constellations

    Patterns that I can see from where I am

    How I wish to go somewhere entirely uncivilized and look up for hours

    It just blows my mind that all of that is just out there

    During the day you could deny it

    We’re obviously going in a circle the stars say so

    Well

    “circle”

    Anyways

    All your dancing and up and down and what I’ve watched the moon do

    She wobbles

    Beautiful Earth

    Thank you for being an anchor in space for living things to thrive

    The Moon for her protection of this place

    It is raining as soon as I want to go out

    Of course

    I afterall have no hat nor rain coat

    I have a beanie

    It will get gross and wet quickly but it will work possibly

    This is not weather for my hand made cardigans

    I will have to wear one of my others

    It’s been cloudy at night recently

    And the Sun

    I love him so

    I need him to go away again so I can see the stars

    I miss night at 8pm

    That would be perfect

    6am sunrise

    8pm sunset

    Ah, time

    So fabricated

    Ah, Time

    So undeniable

    I think this dance in space is beautiful

    This orchestra of movement

    Time to you

    Must be like the pidgeon

    Seeing in higher frame rates than us

    We see the car missed them by inches

    They knew exactly when that hit would come and when to get out of the way

    Well usually

    But that difference of instances

    Is a moment to me but a second to you?

    Or do we exist on the same time scale, but your consciousness is longer than mine?

    How long have the stars been waiting for someone to see them?

    Did they know we’d get too intelligent and self destructive, in their image, and destroy our only home?

    Oh, but to see them?

    I am grateful for every life given that made me possible to see them

    This chain of humans

    I’m sorry I’m breaking that chain but this is not an acceptable world to bring a child into

    Not unless you’re one of the nobles and can pay their every living expense

    I just want to live in a world where I can see the stars well at night. I know things have to be lit and safety… But

    My purpose is to look out into the stars and see them

    See the Universe

    See this space

    I have none other that I am allowed to claim as mine

    And the Sun being up later makes it worse

    It’s interesting to think about time and Time

    Whose is what

    We are lost in Time

    And I don’t know what time it is

  • Meme: this is a fabricated condition, used to legitimize abnormal behaviour and because otherwise, no one notices you. In other words, you are an attention seeking pussy with no life or friends

    I mean they got the no life or friends part

    But where’s my fucking attention?

    If I was actually non-binary for attention, it failed

    Miserably

    That’s just ignoring the part where we think looking for attention is a problem in a fucking pack animal

    But let’s just entertain the idea that a creature that evolved within tight knit communities it no longer has that seeking attention from other creatures is wrong

    Just for shits and giggles

    If I was seeking attention

    I’m doing a piss poor job of it

    All my many friends

    All my attention

    Where exactly is that at?

    Assuming I should just sit here and rot because seeking attention is wrong

    What more can I do to ensure I’m never seeking attention?

    I suppose you’d think wearing bright colours is seeking attention

    And because I’m fat I should probably just wear ugly outfits all the time because if I don’t I’m “attention seeking”

    Never does it cross their minds that we “do this” because it makes us feel most at home in our skin

    It never even tries to

    Because they’re playing on default settings and they don’t feel anything.

    I wish I felt at home in my body

    I wish there was a way to make people feel how I feel when they misgender me

    That like drop in my stomach that is both disappointment that they didn’t get it right, and disappointment in me for not coming through in my own body

    My theyness is not obvious enough

    It’s both the punishment for not being seen and not making myself seen enough

    Yet all this stuff

    I want people to see me

    That’s all

    I want people to see the me that I feel like

    I wish I didn’t have to see all this hate

    It’s so poisonous

    Why is it so important for them to control other people?

    Like I’m not trying to control people, I’m asking for respect, that’s different

    But they’re seeking out people they don’t know to try to herd them into tiny boxes

    Why?

    It escapes me

    We are so much more than just humans in our bodies

    Each of us a Universe

    Who knows why I’ve always hated the shape I ended up being?

    The point is we’re just shapes and I want to be seen as beyond my shape

    But, again, I’m clearly failing epically at that.

    Seriously where’s the attention I’ve apparently been trying so hard to get?

  • The only way my life is getting better

    Is if someone comes to save me

    Someone notices me

    Someone sees me

    And I have dreamt of that person

    Someone who wants to take care of me

    But that person never comes

    And I sing all these songs

    Believing in the miracle of our meeting

    Feeling closer the farther you are from me

    Singing of meeting by coincidence

    And fate

    And none of these things are possible

    I’ve tried so hard to believe

    You, whoever you is, and me

    That we could meet

    I thought I had to find you

    Misfire

    Directly into the Sun

    Where am I supposed to look?

    Am I supposed to go to places and just sit there and hope someone notices me?

    They say you find it when you least expect it

    So I can’t go places looking for it, right?

    Our meeting

    I don’t meet him do I?

    It’s just me

    I’m some poster child for poverty, disablity, and isolation for some person to use when I die

    You couldn’t even let me have him as like

    A texting buddy

    Something

    No

    I’m so sick of texting buddies

    My mum

    My friends

    We’re practically pen pals

    Can’t I have something real?

    I can control how I feel about how shitty my life is?

    Sometimes you’re a complete dong

    I don’t think I’ll ever understand why this is happening to me

  • Chaotic

    Definitely chaotic

    But with a trying to be good soul?

    I always wanted to be good

    I started as just chaos

    But then the idea of goodness and righteousness was introduced

    No

    Not by Christianity

    By Sailor Moon

    The idea that there could be an evil that needed to be stopped to keep the world a beautiful place

    Naoko Takeuchi planted those seeds in me

    We only started going to church when I started elementary school

    I was absorbed by this idea of loving every living thing

    This idea of supporting one another

    The idea that Christians are good people was just about as quickly destroyed as it was built up

    Good people don’t touch younger humans

    Good people don’t walk in on it and then never say a word

    I think it was the fact that there was a witness and that witness acted like we both were doing something

    Vaguely annoying

    I digress

    Goodness, once suggested

    This idea that you should give your all for it

    Chaotic, tries hard to be good, exhaustedian

    There needs to be a word for that

    I don’t think I have the innate goodness that some people have

    I don’t have that darkness that some people have

    I’m trying

    Alignments are hard

    My exhaustion is what feels innate

    It has been with me for so very long

    My chaos feels innate

    My connection to the chaos around me

    Feels innate

    Not the chaos that humans create

    The chaos of the weather and the wild

    Water

    As uniform but so strange as it is

    Will the water within me remember sitting here writing this?

    Will it remember having been a part of me?

    Too many unknown questions

    Trying to figure out who I am

    What I am

    If pixies, angels, demons, and some chaos sprinkled on created some chimera

    Of all their parts

    That’s me

    And some Moon Princess crap joined the party

    Sometimes I wish there was a word for what I am

    The clouds looked like Hermes’ face last night

    Or, well, that god I consider connected to the wind and Mercury that melded with Hermes

    That was a wonder to see
