Waitwaitwait, you were the Leafeon back in War? And all this time I thought you were someone who just randomly popped up sometime last year |D

<3 aaa ilu too bro haha

Hey, thanks for the welcome message! :)

gr8 profile but still not as smashing as mine tsk tsk

Man if I could, I would want to forget a lot about my past here too. xD

Frankly I'm offended you don't remember who I am. XD

True that, it'd take an immense amount of effort anyway. Ah, perspectives. It's like putting an object in the middle of a room and standing at different spots to view it.

Well that is natural, I suppose, and I doubt it'd be any poet's intention to impose their ideals onto readers that know nary or enough. Humanity was the word I had in mind too; cursed thing I'd like to shed.

I can see the Spirited Away and all the mystery influences. I find it innovative how you utilized a static setting (arguably, but the interior of a moving train is, well, immobile). It gives me a bit of a Baccano! atmosphere (Not sure if you've heard of that anime; most of its scenes occur on a lengthy train ride). It does look quite grand and eloquently put.

I glared at a calculator last month

I have somebody repairing my pc tonight, so when that's done I can post my Railways post.

Philosophy has this modern stigma of being boring, dead and 'uncool', though if we were in ancient Grecian times, you'd be hailed as the future of science and knowledge. I love discussing philosophy though I'm not as well-read as I am with literature. I admire the lengthy discourse philosophers have. I feel like a selfish vain person when my poetry doesn't impact the world the way philosophy does.

I never saw it that way... I guess the idea never occurred to me that it would be such...

Ah I see. Her biography is quite disconcerting. I really sympathize her and some of her poems do stir up some emotions in me that I would rather not feel.

Oh I doubt I'll regret it. X3 Btw may I ask what were your inspirations for your ongoing roleplays? Railways seem like an interesting gem.

Haha. There's a lot more where that came from. ;p

I.. cri evritym. </3 Haha.

My apologies for making you feel that way >.<

I agree with you; Poetry is a manifestation of nature, one's real emotions, and nature itself is a state of chaos (sounds a bit philosophical xD).

Diction is such a key building block to expression; every word has its place and role to play. One word can cause so much change, and have so much influence over the world. Evidently, we can see that in the power of books. It's because I place great importance on words that when I try to come up with a line, it takes a long while to ponder on word choice and syntax.

Plath! Love her! I bought Ariel as a birthday treat for myself a few years back~ I did "I Am Vertical" in one of my literature assignments last year and I was so overjoyed at analyzing a poem from one of my favourite poets.

(Oh don't be sorry! I tend to ramble on too. I don't think it's a negative thing to have tldr-worthy thoughts. It's better to have lots of ideas than none. :3)

P.S. I actually wrote out a long reply on my mobile but the battery dead so I lost everything. x/

Food gifs is your kryptonite then ;p XD lol
Lalala something not sweet this time~

Omg I thought I replied to this and then I was wondering why you didn't reply back x/

Poetry definitely helps in the cathartic process.

Ah that really is a unique take on the traditional elegy style. I've never seen it that way before.

I do the same too, sometimes~ Just a line or so, a scribble down in my notebook (in which is also filled with sketches that represent thoughts that randomly swim into my mind) and it's like a droplet of thought every now and then, in which one hopes that they grow into an inspired pond or lake in the future. :3

So what have you been reading lately? I rediscovered an old collection of Emily Dickinson in the library.

Happy Birthday! :)

:D <33
