It Looks Very Impressive, Doesn’t It? It’s Very Exciting. And I Found It Quite, And This Is An Odd

I read on an aesthetic post once, "it's pursuing science but desiring art"

I’m required to keep a journal for my honors class. It’s a nice little break from my engineering studies to do a little art. 

I realized something about majority of my ships...

Person A: Charming, Intelligent, Can speak multiple languages, Straight A student

Person B: Loud, Obnoxious, Probably ate all the candy in the jar then guessed zero, Mega dork and proud

But also...

Person B: Compassionate, Scary threat when provoked, Very chill when mellow, Keeps things bottled up and fakes smiles to get through the day, Very tol

Person A: Standoffish, High and mighty complex, Angry at everything and everyone, Cries at everything, Emotionally stunted due to tragic past, Very smol but will fight you

types of people

moon - candid photos. listening to songs under a blanket. scented candles. the glow of city lights past midnight. picking a wildflower for yourself.

flower - blushing from smiling too much. a bouquet of roses from a lover. a wish on a fallen eyelash. love letters. giving your whole heart to someone. birds singing in the morning.

song - blowing a kiss to the stars. potted plants and stacks of filled notebooks. old magazines. walking down a street in paris. sketching a stranger on the train. silhouettes at 5pm.

sunset - messy scribbles on polaroids. memories tinted with gold. 80s music. a road trip with your best friends. cold soda in the dappled shade. a shell from a beach five summers ago.

cloud - a million daydreams. the comforting scent of old books. fresh sheets after a bath. fairy lights and fluffy cushions. cookies and milk. laughing with someone and being unable to stop.

mist - watching a small raindrop roll down the window. putting on earphones in a bus. staring at the ceiling and thinking about nothing. music from a time you’d rather forget.

Me as a fic writer: I better throw in some plot and other characters so the story isn’t too one dimensional 

Me as a fic reader: 

weather as types of people

Wind: Nomadic people are those who love wind. They are born of change and circumstance. Their worst enemy is the jailor of restriction. Seldom seen with restricting clothes, they like to move as they please. Messages pass their hands many times a day, and they love to be the bearer of news: whether good or bad, gossip or fun. They are desert people: hearts of sand and time, ever changing, always different. They are late-night pitstop people: gas station spirits and moonlight souls. People of change, people of destiny, people of drive.

Rain: Gentle souls. Instead of being in constant state of growth like most people, they are in a constant state of settling into themselves. Their presence is a calming one, even if they are not calm within themselves. They create effortlessly, ideas always flowing from them when they are present. When ideas are not present, the drought comes: not a drought of dehydration, but a drought of inspiration. When this drought comes, the people of rain have nothing to offer. All creativity is gone, all motive is lost. That is, until it rains again. A mysterious people, are those made of rain.

Thunder: Thunderous people can often be too loud, too much, and too frightening to those who do not understand them. Their anger holds the power of the earth, and heaven forbid you should see one cry. While they may shout and laugh, and be the greatest presence in the room, their loudness does not reflect who they are. Stormy emotion is their way to be heard, even if it isn’t the way they are best understood. You do not know a person of thunder, until you have studied while one slept next to you, or watched from a distance as they created something. You can hold no judgement to their stormy hearts until you take the time to know one. And should you manage to befriend one, you will find a strange sense of ancientness in their mannerisms. In the way they look off into the distance when they think nobody is watching, in how their art reflects people and places that no longer exist, in how they breathe so steadily beside you, as if they are meant to live forever.

Hail: Just like that embarrassing thing that happened to you in second grade, just like a memory that fills you with nostalgia at odd hours of the night, so hail people only appear in the moments before you fall asleep. They are beautiful in person, yes, but it is not until you have a time to ponder their beauty that you begin to see how incredible they truly are. Buffeted by wind, thrust up into the sky over and over again, their hearts have hardened to ice. But ice can melt; that is apparent with people of this kind. Give them a warm touch, and a kind eye. They will melt, and it will be beautiful.

Snow: Falling slowly, falling beautifully. People of snow are quiet and sad, but there is beauty in it. They drift downward, decorating the world with beauty as they go. You don’t see them much, since they’re quiet and rarely around. But it isn’t until they go missing that you realize how much they’ve impacted your life. They have an odd habit of making everything seem alright. When they speak, it is as if all the world is silent around them. You can never quite describe it, but they have a gentle peace about them: as if they know they are quickly failing, and are content with darkness that will approach. I’m sorry if you’ve ever held one’s hand, because there is no falling out of love with them. I’m sorry if you’ve ever heard one sing, because their music will never stop ringing in your ears. They are quiet. They are beautiful. They impact you in small ways, until everything you’re made up of seems to hold a piece of them.

Gods as Types of People At a Wedding

Artemis: the aunt who gives crisp, short and sweet advice to the couple and keeps her visits short; she is hardly seen at weddings since she avoids all kinds of love and romance but will make the trip if someone close to her is getting married; she is a sucker for outdoor weddings and blesses those couples who remember to not litter after the wedding is over.

Athena: she is often seen along with Artemis and is known to give away valuable advice to the newly weds for a long and happy married life; she is also the person who approves of the wedding beforehand and helps the newly weds in making all the arrangement before the ceremony begins; as the bride leaves to walk down the aisle, Athena whispers soothing words to calm the bride down.

Aphrodite: she is that lady who’s always shipping people at the weddings and is eagerly waiting for upcoming couples to seek her blessings and gives them tips on loving her to the fullest; she loves the fancy weddings and is aunt who often cries because of how beautiful the couple is; she often says ‘I told you so’ when the two people who she ships are together in the end; all the bachelors try to impress her and she laughs it off.

Hestia: the aunt who’s always looking younger than she actually is; she is always forgotten at the weddings until one of the parents of the couple reels her in and she politely says hello and wishes the couple good luck; she rarely dances and if she does, she just twirls and bows down politely.

Dionysus: the uncle who comes to the party for the drinks; he ends up embarrassing the couple in his drunk state by telling stupid things that they did when they were little; somebody has to drag him home when the wedding’s over and he always asks the person if it’s their wedding; the first person to dunk the couple’s heads in the cake; fun to talk to when he’s revealing everything; often criticises the wine that the couple has chosen for the guests to drink at the wedding.

Apollo: the uncle who never leaves the music area; he’s often singing for the couple instead of the raising a toast and always chooses a romantic, hit song for their first dance; sometimes he sobs at how beautifully he has sung the song and the guests are already drowning in their tears; Artemis often has to pull him away before the people kill themselves over his voice; blesses the couple with warm, cozy sun rays; crashes weddings with Hermes; women drool over him and he flirts them, leading them on, not before Hermes has to pull him away.

Hermes: makes it a point to have a grand entrance; walks arm-in-arm with Apollo and dances his way to the couple; has an aura of light headedness and is always keeping the atmosphere light by cracking decent jokes; helps the couple design the invitation cards; winks and makes inside jokes with the newly weds; usually drags away Dionysus and curses when he throws up in Apollo’s car since the three of them travel back in his Maserati; steals something or the other and takes it with him as a memoir of the couple’s wedding; crashes weddings with Apollo.

Hades: is seen complaining and grumbling at weddings since Persephone forced him to come along; blesses the couple first so that he can go home early; doesn’t touch flowers cause they decay when he touches them and then they wilt and die and Persephone starts weeping; always wears a black tuxedo and brings along his phone and headphones so that he can listen to music while the others dance; twirls Persephone around for the sake of it and hugs her awkwardly when the couple kisses because he needs love but will not admit it.

Hepahestus: usually sits with Hestia at the back and will exchange views on fire and furnace and metals and crafts if they have nothing to do; Artemis and Athena sit with them, drinking cold water or carbonated drinks if absolutely necessary; the shy guy and the silent one too; manages to clean up for the wedding though and rarely smiles when he takes a picture with the newly weds; gifts them amazing things though.

Ares: pounds the table when the couple kisses and exchange vows; the most enthusiastic person and the most hot tempered one too at the wedding; takes his girlfriend Aphrodite for a dance and dances quite elegantly to everyone’s surprise; gives the couple tips on how to wrestle and kill each other if they ever fight; hugs the hell out of the two and Apollo, Dionysus and Hermes.

types of people

north: Brand new red converse, shorts, and ice cold stares. Stargazing on tailgates, imagining the sound of the ocean, iced coffee with your three closest friends. A sense of adventure hand in hand with wandering hearts.

south: Sidewalk dandelions, jean jackets, half finished journals and laptop stickers. It’s having been to every little cafe and garage sale, warm smiles and mugs of tea, dreamy sunsets, questioning life but feeling at peace.

east: Basement bedrooms, frosted windows, watching the sunrise, sailing on windy afternoons. It’s pursuing science and desiring art, drawing on condensation covered windows, and wanting to do something but not knowing how.

west: The active laziness of certainty, sunglasses, contagious laughter, relaxed expressions but a storm underneath. Layering clothes, cruising with the top down, forgetting you already grabbed a water bottle. Clouded heads and clear eyes.
