those boots are unhinged

i used to have this tiny ass (like literally 2.5" wide) book on LotR lore and it used this illustration for tommy boy, and i loved it. captures him very well.

i think i got the book in a scholastic catalogue.

Scarletta,

I must be brief, I have very little time alone here. My cell mate is a confidant of the Scottish Bones, he is not to be trusted.
You are not safe in Brandon, nor in all of Manitoba for that matter. There is a very real threat on all of the Shield from a conglomerate of monkey-traders and waterboys with an eye on what's left of the lakes. If you can make your way to the SaskTel border, my name should be enough to get you through to Regina. I can't promise you passage any further, but I hear there are caravans travelling through to the Pacific, to Port Moody. Refrain from telling them of your Italian roots.
My dear, I do not tell you this because I love you.
This, you must know. I have never loved you, Scarletta.
We began our affair in the throws of the first Dread Project, I was certain my death was just a month, perhaps two, from when we first met. You were unaware of this impending crisis, but this was just as well for me. I must confess, I wished only for your physical company and the nights of refuge you gave me from the chill of the New York Herald Tribune staff sleeping quarters. It was during these nights, post-coital sprawl across your mattress, silent cigarettes shared in soft light from the streets below, that I plotted those first few missions for the Bloodletters. I traced lines along your back in the shape of tunnel routes -- you must remember when I finally told you who I was. All before then, you had been my muse of sorts, but I did not love you.
I had developed a mild affection for your innocence. The way you cast aside your coat, dress and hopped up on the bed while Rubio issued the second Surveillance Decree on CNN. The ease with which you fell asleep, without a drop to drink. You were perhaps the happiest military intelligence clerk in all of New York City, dozing in my arms while half the world burned.
It is this affection that urges me to write you. Do not lose hope, Scarletta. The world will awake from its nightmare and need someone like you. Someone who can still hope.
I have written too much already, I must end it here.
Stay safe, Scarletta.

best memories from being a wee lad are my mum reading the narnia series to me. i can't wait to read to my own kids some day.

ignoring weird gendered premise of "worth" ...

>>7531497
isn't it more of an encouragement to write if you don't see any good writers out there right now? if you think there's room for improvement or greater success in whatever field you see, go for it! make it better! or you could just bitch about how success isn't being handed to you on a platter.

ironically, it seems like you're looking to choose a field because it has a more likely rate of success or worth. you're looking at where others are succeeding and trying to tack yourself on to their success. that's kinda "low energy" mate.

capitalism is grand, but art demands to be free of it i feel.
not all things are served best when thrown into the hand of the market.

who knows.
i kind of feel like we should let those with an experiment try their shit. capitalism feels limiting at times, maybe there is a better way?

>why [did] a black lady who sells me soap on television show up in the middle of this poem?

hahaha
thanks for the feedback!
i did feel weird about that line, the "accent" sort of embedded itself in first writing it, no real reason. will revise.

that advice doesn't sound shitty btw. just unsweetened.
