Never underestimate the intuition of a writer. Or, I should say, never underestimate the intuition of a lascivious man.

Dazai Osamu, “Mother!” from Tales of a Lascivious Gentleman

the mirror

i am bright and gleaming the visage of you, wholly i am unshapen and torn with the hope of meeting you halfway

when you laugh, i join but alone i am hollow i sit quiet and wait until you turn that light on

i weep sometimes the thought of you sick of your own reflection but i just can't help it anymore

it's fine, i've been discarded before just toss me out, throw me away cracked, faded, and gone thinking of you as i wait

and when they come along, they'll see a mirror that needs to be cleaned but they won't find themselves in it instead, the visage of a hundred before

there is nothing that i like to do except ask these little questions that i already know the answer to just to hear you speak a little more

i have nothing left to say just let me hear more about you let me listen and disappear until what's left of me is you

Henry Winter be like "I know a spot" then pushes you off it

Something I just realized, Odysseus calls Telemachus by his name throughout Act I. Then when he get back to Ithaca, anytime he references Telemachus he calls him a familial title.

“… and hurt my boy”

“You plotted to kill my son”

“Son.”

“Oh my son look how much you’ve grown. Oh my boy, sweetest joy I’ve known.”

“My son I’m finally home!”

Then he calls his son by name while they embrace.

“Telemachus. I’m home.”

I just think it’s interesting. It’s like he’s reminding himself of what his son‘s name is throughout the Trojan War and his journey home.

When he gets back, he’s letting everyone know he’s claiming Telemachus, and reminding the suitors that Telemachus is his son, and he is Telemachus’ father.

Finally, the first time he calls Telemachus by his name, is after the two of them have rekindled their relationship. (I Can’t Help But Wonder is basically the two of them sharing how he views the other.)

it's time I admit something to you guys... I'm one of those people who, when others mispronounce "specifically" i say "what about atlantically??" always destined to be the Spell Check Friend™
