↳ The legacies of Kylo Ren
Not a request exactly but I was wondering, what are some of your top quotes / poems from this past year? Things that stuck with you, whether new or not; things that resonated deep inside you, that got you through another year?
Okay, so, it turns out that I actually have quite a few of these because I have read a lot more since I started this blog, so I'm just going to link a fuckton of poems and miscellanea that I liked enough to bookmark as I made webs and hope you like them too:
LET YOUR DAD DIE ENERGY DRINK by Daniel Lavery and Cecilia Corrigan, and it's follow up WIRE MOTHER ENERGY DRINK
I love all of @animauxing's gorgeous ACNH comics, but especially these two
Great Things Have Happened by Alden Nowlan
Crystal Wilkinson's article Praise Song for the Kitchen Ghosts
The lyrics to Hiding All Away by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
The full version of The Old Astronomer by Sarah Williams, which I had only ever read a single stanza from before this year
Obedience, or the Lying Tale by Jennifer Chang
Holly Warburton. Just... all of her artwork. All of it.
I knew about Ocean Vuong a while ago, and I knew he was good - really good - but I never quite comprehended how good until I read Prayer for the Newly Damned for the first time and immediately burst into tears
Betrayal by William Hathaway
The Death of Antinoüs by Mark Doty
Jared Singer's spoken word poem The Last Love Letter From an Entomologist (and a transcript for those like me who need to have something to read along with)
@billypotts's epiphany about love and personhood
acknowledgments by Danez Smith
Leila Chatti's poem about grief, What Willl Happen, which was the first thing in twelve years that let me forgive myself for the way I reacted to the death of a girl I knew when I was ten years old. If I had to pick a single thing I read that changed me in 2021, this would be it
Planning Ahead Can Make a Difference in the End by Aaron Freeman
Saturday's Child by Countee Cullen
Cavetown’s Boys Will Be Bugs, which will likely be the song of 2021 in my memory
Feel free to reblog or reply with your own favourites! I'd love to see them <3

Pride & Prejudice (2005) dir. Joe Wright
Just some appreciation for Adam Driver’s hands. :)
“The other women tittered. The blatant affection that Ysanne and Markus showed for each other was a source of amusement among the royal court; Rey, however, couldn’t help but wistfully remember how happy the couple had seemed at her engagement ball. For a moment she allowed herself to indulge in the fantasy of being loved like that. The arm around her waist in these musings felt too much like Kylo’s, but she wasn’t very keen on analyzing what that meant. It was all only in her mind, anyway. Harmless…”
Excerpt from Chapter Five of “Landscape with a Blur of Conquerors” by @kylorenvevo.
A sketch based on @kylorenvevo’s “Landscape With a Blur of Conquerors.” If you’re into Reylo, and you haven’t read it, umm…. read it. Like now. It’s really well written, and I can’t wait for the next chapter update, especially now that I’m on break and my mind isn’t running a million miles a minute.
Took a lot of inspiration from Paolo Sebastian’s and Zahir Muhad’s collections.
