By midnight, the shelves yawn shut. Each book nestles into its plot, dreaming of inkwell tides and readers who taste words like honey—sweet, lingering, dissolving into silent ahs.

A child tiptoes in, trailing cobweb ribbons. She borrows a cookbook that bakes thunderstorms; the recipe calls for cinnamon lightning. Her laughter sparks the margins, igniting paragraphs into fireflies.

One volume, bound in nettlecloth, recounts a love affair between a comet and a teacup. Its pages steam when opened, leaving rings of stardust on oak desks. Footnotes bloom into dandelions, drifting into readers’ pockets as souvenirs.

At dusk, the books unfold paper wings, fluttering toward the attic’s highest shelf. Their spines hum lullabies in forgotten dialects, while the librarian—a spectacled owl—sorts tales by the weight of their sighs.

A glowing blue and teal wisp-like creature with bright white eyes floats against a dark purple background. The wisp appears ethereal with soft flame-like edges, surrounded by small floating embers in pink and white.

Wasn't sure if light or dark 😅

it seems to me that
words hold deeper meaning
the first time
they are said

i tirelessly write
from my lived experience
how dare my words
be flagged artificial

i swear
i’ve written
these words for
the first time

why must
i prove
my words
to be mine?

The fungus glows faintly—a cold light. She marvels at its defiance, thriving where even sunlight is a myth. A drip of water lands on her shoulder, and she imagines it as a tear from the world above. Does the sky mourn its children, or has it already forgotten they exist?

In the violent pursuit of more, most are left with less.

Some mushrooms, like the honey fungus (Armillaria), are naturally bioluminescent! This phenomenon, called foxfire, has been enchanting forest wanderers for centuries.

An illustration of eyes on a red background

Everybody's Scared by James Hatton

Get Jinxed ✨

#jinx #arcane #digitalart #fanart #illustration

A digital painting of a wide-eyed, light-skinned white person, clutching a blanket around themself for warmth. Their hair is blue with dark, brown roots and is messy, with one tiny braid near the nape of the neck. Their eyes are uncomfortably blue and well up with red tears, and a similar trickle of blood seeps from the mouth. The character's skin is marked with several scrawled notes, which are all nonsensical. This is the same illustration as the one posted in the art train, but the piece is now finished and the lighting has been adjusted to be much more dramatic.

It's crazy what a little bit of lighting adjustment will do for a piece

little movements make ripples, nonetheless.

may the drops of resistance form waves of change.
