Brand association
with my loving ache
Pairs beautifully
with tender laughter
and crisp apple cakes
Packaged up for purchase
my daydreams and my tears
Hoping someone buys them
and it quells all my fears

currently the mood rn

Cheers to this watch challenge getting me off my ass and finally watching some absolute classics. Also making me realize I LOVE ZOMBIE/OUTBREAK MOVIES!!!!!!!!

Hooptober 2025 Participating in Cinemonster’s The Twelfth of Hooptober https://boxd.it/EsPD6  *First year doing it!!  *All new to me movies except Psycho

Been participating in Hooptober on Letterboxd and it’s a bloody blast!! Here’s what I committed to watching & reviewing #hooptober #horrorsky boxd.it/P0ouO

Advert attempts aged in apathy
actioned before it began
Never who you made me to be
which explains this sinking sand
If I wanted it more maybe I’d have it
— I tell myself to sleep
If I wanted him more maybe I’d know it
I tell myself to dream

Illustration of a purple Doberman Pinscher looking at you under a night sky. A Polyphemus moth covers it’s face like a mask, where the patterned wings line up with the Doberman’s eyes.

Them there eyes

there’s something special about friends who push you to do better in difficult moments

laser focus
cellophane
Umbrella wrapped
in pouring rain
Chasing lights
late night life
won’t ever find
Again

I add em dashes in a dickinson way not a “I need a robot’s help to write a sentence” way

chatGPT stealing the em dash is its worst offense cause now people won’t know I spent 2 hours refining that photo caption

a picture of the guy god whats his name? larry david? sure. hes saying “lets go upstairs and all get under the covers and sob”

what a fun, sexy time

A threshold, a precipice
Perhaps a step before a fall
I stood in that doorway
At once forever, at once not at all
To believe it took my mother
To remind me of the worth
To see this haunted house
And step out for my birth

Well, that.
It almost made me laugh.

just saw an IROC for the first time and now I understand why wheatus was so self effacing

Weapons (2025) may not be the best movie I’ve seen this year, but it sure as hell has the most iconic villain. Obsessed

Dim starlit avenues
chase time toward
a mausoleum where
memory still laughs
at the thought,

Where was I
if not with you?

Who was I
if not with you?

Ain’t it funny how
You push to love
How you
Ache to please
Lose yourself
Your sass

Ain’t it funny how
You let time pass
Filling gaps
With dead air
Not even noticing
You pulled away

Love
is yours to breathe

I wore face glitter to my law school graduation

Esoteric Law & Cosmic Order, stylized like the Law & Order title sequence

going outside frightens me
there’s pieces of you in the air
on the sidewalk, a willow tree
the sparrows nest above my window
a flower sustaining a bee—

my universe repeats your pattern
until you’re all I see
until days light returns
and again you’re next to me

If you own a business and make the decision to buy one-ply toilet paper, your business license should be revoked

For every benis there is an equal and opposite wenis

teenage me was much more preoccupied with impressing myself than other people & I miss her

Fragments of past selves
Tie my wrists to you
So that when the music slows
And the dance ends
I remember not the cold
Left by your leaving hand
But the nostalgic grace
Of when you first grabbed me

soymilk lafufu

I love adult money & festival lafufus

Bittersweet sips
On strawberry wine
Lilting laughter
On the breeze
Memories, moments
Pressed in time
To share on nights like these.

Your breath fills my lungs.
Your heart in my chest.
Your name on my tongue—

Bring my body to rest

broken glass, GRWM, and what was that solid runner-ups but honestly no skips…

Album on repeat. Standouts include favourite daughter, clearblue, and ofc man of the year

Lorde’s ability to capture the poetics of whatever I’m experiencing when she drops music MUST be studied. We’re star-crossed.

I may hate on them sometimes but there’s very few things that eating a banana won’t solve
