  • a mermaid has no tears [SOON]“I am willing to help you, but are you willing to suffer all this?” the sea witch asked Taeyong. The images of the land crossed his mind, the people walking and the smile on their faces as they danced, if he only had these he would’ve said no. But there was also a girl. A girl that he saved, and fell in love with. Taeyong took a deep breath and replied, “Yes. There is someone that I have to meet.”

This (a quote from my book The Anthropocene Reviewed) was my overall attitude to the world until I was about 24. But it is no longer the way I look at the world.

It turns out that there is pleasure in simply giving what you have, even if--as is generally the case--what you have proves insufficient.

All my books have so many shortcomings. I am constantly running up against the limits of my talents. In other ways, they are good. Whatever is good in them comes from my willingness to go deep and be honest even when it is hard.

When I think of my work, it is hard to think of anything but its insufficiency. And yet, it's valuable to give as much as I can, whenever I can--not to "fulfill my potential" or whatever, but because we are only here for a little while, and there is more meaning in possibly cringe but earnest effort than there is in the cold pleasure of ironic disdain.

You can believe in magic, but watch out.

It's fun learning astrology until you start to make broad assumptions about real people's behavior based only on their birthday.

It's fun to speculate about alien civilization until you say early cultures weren't competent enough to build their own pyramids or until scientologists stalk you for every penny you have.

It's fun dressing symptoms in mystical language like "empath" or "indigo child" until you go through life undiagnosed, unaccomodated and feeling less and less human.

It's all fun and games until Tiktokkers tell you hallucinations are actually attunement with a higher dimension and that you should stop taking your antipsychotics.

It's fun to think about possession and changelings until mom starts trying to "save" her child's soul or dad kills his family for having "serpent genes."

It's fun to see natural formations as if they were manmade until you start believing cultists when they say flying saucers are Antarctic Nazis.

You can believe in magic. It's fun to believe in magic. Believing in magic is valuable stimulation. But watch out. Remember your reality checks. There's a lot of cults and scams and white supremacists out there who want to sell you something, and that longing for magic to believe in is how they get you.

I feel like I'm seeing only one interpretation of "Who We Are" and the iconic line "To hold me like water/Or Christ, hold me like a knife" and as someone who has done martial arts and knife work, as well as an English major, I'd like to throw in my two cents.

So what I've seen are the metaphorical interpretations (mostly on TikTok too) where they compare water to life/sustenance and a knife to death/injury to the narrator, and so the narrator wants to be held like something life-saving or, in a desperation to be held at all, held like they're something dangerous.

I think the opposite.

From a martial arts perspective, if you're the one holding the knife, you're not a danger to yourself. Obviously, if a weapon is involved at all there is a level of danger, but it is way more difficult for the person/thing on the other end. They have to be concerned about near 360-degree mobility of the wrist and the ability to change hands quickly, so targeting the hand holding the knife becomes trying to completely isolate it from the other side of the body while also preventing the wrist from rotating. I'd much prefer to be the one holding the knife.

Meanwhile, there are other lines in the song to suggest that the knife is more valuable than water.

The opening lines are:

You only feel it when it's lost Gettin' through still has a cost Quietly, it slips through your fingers, love Falling from you drop by drop

This is what it sounds like when you're trying to hold water. No matter how tightly you cup your hands, it will find cracks and spill through. And you'll feel it when it's lost; your empty hands will be wet.

Now look at the chorus:

We're born at night So much of our lives Is just carving through the dark To get so far

The knife is being used to carve through the dark. It is vital, a means of survival.

And also, just think of how your hands are when you hold something like water versus something like a knife.

One is loose and gentle, open. The other is gripped, tightly. If I were touch-starved, I wouldn't want a gentle hand to cup my face, I'd want someone to hold me in a vice as if doing so would mean they are protected from danger, ready to face the darkness.

This is the circle of anger, after all.

college au fic recs

bucky barnes x reader

❤️ = fluff 😔 = angst 🔥 = smut

multiparts:

It’s a simple concept: Students can buy flowers for each other at the carnation sale. Red flowers are for love, pink flowers are for friendship, and white flowers are for expressing secret admiration. A carnation fundraiser, an iota of possibility, and a longtime secret crush on your hot best friend - what could go wrong? ❤️
other parts: Tongue Twister, Date Night, Tipsy virgin college bucky x virgin college reader (steve's sister) ❤️🔥
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 You sit at the same table ever day at the little café down the street from campus, each day with a different book. Often poetry. And Bucky Barnes is always in the table next to you, usually doing the same thing. He either reads, writes, or sketches. One day, a dropped notebook leads to... something? Will that something turn to dust after an eye opening realization? ❤️🔥😔
[A Social Media AU] Bucky Barnes is the “most handsomest man” that you have ever laid your eyes on and oh, would you look at that. He’s your professor. [COMPLETE] ❤️📱
part 2 You and Bucky are friends with benefits, but the lines are starting to blur and you don’t know how much longer you can keep having sex as friends. Loosely based on “Best Friends” by the Weeknd. 🔥😔
part 2: right where you left me bucky asks you to pretend to be his girlfriend for the weekend but after what you thought was sweeter than a dream has you facing a harsher reality. ❤️😔
Your hands remain clasped together until he’s far enough away from you, dropping your hand and grinning as he’s eventually lost in darkness. You have to hover for a second with your keycard in your hand, trying to gather your thoughts, process the events of the evening. Bucky Barnes like you. He likes you, not in spite of you, but because you’re you. ❤️🔥

one shots:

In which Bucky attempts to use chemistry to explain the chemistry between you and him. ❤️
Your grades and patience are tested when you’re paired together for a class project with the one person you cannot stand, Bucky Barnes.   ❤️ 
you met bucky, a popular kid on campus, a year ago and became friends with him even though you have the biggest crush on him. he interrupts your study time. ❤️🔥
AU idea- college athlete Bucky and he’s really popular and all that but very sweet and he meets this girl who’s sweet and a little quiet in one of his classes and he just keeps trying to be around her, study with her, buy her coffee and she likes him but she’s just like.... why is this cute popular boy paying attention to me lol ❤️
Bucky and Y/N sit next to each other all semester. They never talk to each other, until one day they do. College AU ❤️
You and Bucky have been inseparable since first year. Will you both finally confess your feelings, or are you doomed to a life of eternal pining? ❤️
Bucky Barnes was a known people pleaser, it was second nature to him. After meeting you and getting close you both try to navigate his eternal stressed state, working together you try your best to tone down his obsessive ways. ❤️😔
There are rules for friends with benefits, and you’ve broken the most important one: don’t fall in love with him. ❤️🔥
Requested by @prettywhenicry4​: “Hiii can you write something for punk/emo bucky? Him and reader are in college together and run with very different circles, they get paired up for a project and they’re always fighting but then overtime idk fall in love? But it’s so shocking for everyone around them cause they’re so different from each other” ❤️🔥
Your best friend has been acting weird, and one night while you’re hanging out like you both usually do, he finally tells you why he’s been acting kind of different lately. ❤️🔥
Late at night, you’re at the campus library finishing up a paper. And it’s freezing. Like actually freezing, to a point where you’re not even sure if the heaters are working anymore. You’re still trembling in a dark corner of the study area when the cuddliest man you’ve ever laid eyes on walks up to you. When he sees you trembling like a leaf, the blue-eyed stranger offers to sit next to you and keep you warm for a while. Then, one thing leads to another and you soon find yourself walking home with him. And one thing is for certain, you want more than just his body heat. ❤️🔥
Could I request college!Bucky x reader at a carnival with the prompt: “Take my jacket, it’s cold outside.” ❤️
you drive home from college with bucky, your best friends brother ❤️
his is a college AU was inspired by a random picture I saw of people using post it notes to write messages in windows to other people in a different building.❤️
they say an orgasm reduces stress—bucky puts that to the test pairing: librarian!buckyx f!college!reader 🔥
Bucky told you he needed help with his studies, but you should have known he just wanted an excuse to kiss you ❤️

Under Oath - Masterlist

Summary:  The people called for justice, the state answered. The trial of State v. Barnes is set to begin, and the odds are most certainly not in favor of the not so beloved ex Winter Soldier. That’s where you come in, the quick, smart, and all too brave lawyer set on defending and saving one Bucky Barnes from legal prosecution. The only problem? He’s not so sure he’s worth saving at all.

I really hope that whoever managed to convince Disney that kids fucking LOVE photorealistic animation and will only watch an animated movie about sea creatures if said sea creatures actually look like real fish is laughing their fucking ass off right now

Kids LOVE when the beautiful singing mermaid’s animal sidekicks look like they should be dead with their eyes open at a supermarket deli
