"I know girls who spill I’m sorry’s from their mouths like they pump blood
to their veins.
Sometimes,..."

“I know girls who spill I’m sorry’s from their mouths like they pump blood

to their veins.

Sometimes, I am one.

I know girls who apologize for asking

to go to the bathroom in class,

who apologize for everything

because they feel like they are taking

up more than their fair share of space

on this planet.

Everything starts with an I’m sorry

and ends with one too,

constant bookends that we don’t

even notice anymore.

We delete her apology the way we

delete likes and ums from speech.

I know girls with ten times more apologies

than misdemeanors

and I wonder how often they hear

It’s okay.

You’re more than okay.”

- "I’m Sorry" by Claire Luisa  (via tanghuijuan)

The Autumn Join the Blizzard contest presented a plethora of FABULOUS entries that I want to properly fawn over…


Last but certainly not least…a playlist from Camille! This music is so HAUNTING and pretty and wintry and just perfect. I’m totally going to steal this whenever I need a boost of inspiration!


That concludes my fawning over the Join the Blizzard entries! If I missed your entry, let me know! It’s entirely possible that my debut-fried brain dropped the ball.


THANK YOU AGAIN AND FOREVER to everyone who entered!! You guys have made this year MAGICAL in every sense of the word!

A vibrant, gorgeous drawing from Summer! The details on this are mesmerizing — the chakram, the palace, the tree. I can’t pick a favorite part! Plus, THOSE COLORS. I’m so susceptible to pretty colors.

Fantasy: Weapons

yagameoftomes:



We all love swords and daggers, bows and arrows. But the REAL fun in fantasy comes when weapons turn exotic, unique, and utterly wicked.


My favorite (sararaasch — this should come as no surprise…) is the chakram. A lethal frisbee — how is that not cool?


There are endless arrays of unheard of, exotic weapons. What are some of your favorites?



Hey, I’m on yagameoftomes again!
