“Half Gods Are Worshipped In Wine And Flowers. Real Gods Require Blood.”

Richard Papen didn’t have to call the dark academia community out that hard by saying his “morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs” was a fatal flaw

hi,

*deep breath*

my name is nyx and i’m (re)entering the writeblr community. i’m into anime (haikyuu/atla/cowboy bebop), good music, computer science, space things, and creative writing. i specifically write/read ya, urban fantasy, poetry, mythology, fantasy/sci-fi or anything good.

this blog is mainly to get me to fall in love with my writing again and to push myself to write again and better. i’m probably going to be posting poems and parts of current works on here and reblogging other cool things.

please like/reblog/follow if you’re a writeblr and i’ll do the same for you.

p.s. the lowercase is on purpose

revisiting some old sketches and book notes inspired by leonardo da vinci.

PLEASE STOP SCROLLING, TAKE A MOMENT TO READ

My name is Quincy, my friend Noah and I require assistance in reaching our goals on GoFundMe. Neither of our families will fund us. I'll go into some detail, but please read the campaigns linked at the bottom

Noah needs the money for top surgery because his insurance doesn't cover it and his parents aren't looking to help him. Getting top surgery would improve his mental health and quality of life by a lot.

I need the money to move out because my mother is abusive and is negatively affecting my mental health to a very severe point. Obviously she isn't looking to help me with this.

It would mean the world to me if you helped us reach our goals so we can both live well. Even if you don't donate, please repost this and share it with your family and friends so that someone can.

Both campaigns are listed in my Linktree.

Thank you in advance❤

i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave” 

George Floyd.

Killed by Minneapolis Police Department recently. Suffocated and murdered. A grocery stores called the police when they thought he was writing a bad check. This man had his knee on george’s neck for 10 minutes. Cutting off his airway. Took his life and treated him as nothing while putting his on a stretcher. They watched him DIE.

THIS IS AMERICA.
