"Good riddance," the pallbearer says. "But I feel bad for his brother. He's a kind soul."
As usual, my twin is #exalted for my good #conduct, and I'm punished.
Parents, teachers, even our wives, mixed us up all the time.
But you know the difference between dead and alive, don't you? #vss365
April fool
my ex
It’s just juice
Not poison even
As my name’s Steven
Even though we’re even

#vss365 - #exalted
When the whales were uplifted, we were bathed in lilting soprano song — exalted by the presence of New Persons, raised together, boarding great cylinders and off to the depths of dark stars, the depths of night seas, inward depths.

Pruning
He forgot gloves, so the roses bit him for his favors, leaving red teeth marks along his forearms. He #exalted in their sting; it felt deserved, earned. As a child, his mother had poured vinegar on his scrapes to punish clumsiness. Now in the garden, he let the earth tear him apart. #vss365
I’m absolved of being #exalted
Exiled from madness
Euthanized from desire
Blessed with worry
Dying to live
Chasing away love
Sour ideas
Making energy drinks
Chewing sugar cubes
Gold over milk
Oatmeal will be the end of my
Ignore me as the hill covered in daisies

The sun ascends to exalted heights,
To mask the hollow lies of morning light.
Deep in the marrow, depression stays,
The heavy anchor of despair.

Oh people Bluesky! You have
#exalted me with an ocean of likes, and for that, I thank you - and I say,
UNLEASH THE #VSS365 PROMPT!
“Oh, #Exalted One, have mercy on this unworthy wretch,” Vara whispers to any saint who might be listening, on the morning of her execution.
The prison altar is small and dusty. The guard waits outside, half-asleep. Vara has not slept.
“I am guilty of many crimes but…

word got out
there's a jumper
drawin' heathen & devout
law dogs
meat wagons
& sump pumpers
they didn't hear the #exalted hop&skip shout
"I'm jumpin' from a bumper
u goddamn seekers o clout
u can't talk me down or out
cuz I'ma fuckin load lumper
I gotta jump 'fore the truck starts its route"
#emoetry #vss365
the un- #exalted were #outraged
at the xenophobic fucks
& how many children they'd caged
it crossed over party lines
& not those kinds
like old telephones
that neighbors was listenin' on
but the kind that had a mind
to break families apart
history can smart
just like present times
Fionnbharr, an #exalted fairy king of western Irish folklore, was one example, but also more examples, because he was also Finvarra, Fin Beara, and Finnegan the Fair, the finest, fairest king the Otherworld e'er saw or is likely to—and fock anyone who says otherwise.

"Oh, exalted one!"
"You need to be more convincing, or the Tyrant won't buy it. And you know you'll have one chance only."
"Oh, greatly #exalted one!"
"Better."

I ask for strength
& i break down
I’m lucky
Amd abuse my fate
Do i forfit my exalted present?
How much more do i need to lose
for another lucky lottery ticket?
Can i afford it?
If i could i’d still lose
I know that lesson
But this neverending retrials
is all i got left to lose

The woman lifted her thin, fading eyebrows at Sam and said: "You look terrible!"
"You don't look all that #exalted yourself," Sam noted. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?"

"You okay?"
"Fine." The answer was immediate.
"Really?" He wandered over to her desk and casually picked up the holepunch.
"Yep."
"Rowan said your meeting didn't go well." He squeezed the punch absently, making it squeak.
"Apparently I have an #exalted sense of importance in the department."
The rules codified, sanctified in the name of Del Rey
followed by the priesthood, dogma of expression, rules
#exalted by obedience, hallowed by process eternal
Towers of ivory loom far, distant, obscured by clouds
hut of branches, loom of words, smile content #vss365
It's a downright travesty when someone in an #exalted position abuses their power, and worse, when they're enabled by sycophants who should know better but cannot see beyond their own avarice. Used to be, public servants served the public, not their own self-interest. This is why: No Kings.

Once they had the tech, they enslaved the #exalted one.
"Enough messing," they said. "Time to play it #straight."
He had lost his #shine. But he could see the day when their systems would falter. On that day his powers would #blossom anew. They would crawl back.

In the tiny village of Grumbledown, Tommy was #exalted as the best postman they’d ever had. He delivered letters every day. Parcels were sent by wings which was always appreciated. But potions and wishes were priority delivered by magical spells #vss365
Evil #exalted
Shame rising
Guts flowing
Heart burning
Love crackling
Cracked heart
Burning love
Stopping stomach
Rising pride
Isolating more
More pain
Less feeling
Just nothing ordinary
Back to bleak
Remain blue
Staying gray

Mr #Nonchalant
drove a Mibishi Galant
& was a poet savant
serially
with words he #exalted
where most folx halted
he preferred milk malted
& friends faulted
wearially
he approached all
& wouldn't partake in a trust fall
it raised some's gall
Fuck Them
youtu.be/tJ61by4DgmY?...
Am i #exalted?
By meer social dipping of my toe?
i’d like to drown in this spring of life
But i’m fine
I can’t handle the chlorine
Don’t get me wrong
I love swimming
but…
If i don’t try i won’t drown
So…
I’m good
Sprinkled salt in my wounds
Who needs the sting
Well off with old… pain

Mum said her books were a way of ensuring she’d live on after her death.
“I expect they’ll be #exalted then!” she’d say.
They haven’t been. But at least she doesn’t know.
“I heard that!” comes a voice from the bookcase.
I make a note to pop them in the loft later… #vss365
Late night radio shows were never the same without Rob Roy. The ghostly desert air was replaced with love ballads. Cosmo used to see him resting on the improvised couch while he performed requests from the troops. Even in the basement of the SWA, people #exalted him. #vss365
A fully colored digital illustration of my witch OC Họa Tiết. They're smiling brightly at the camera, set against a purple background with a turquoise outline.
A fully colored digital illustration of my urban fantasy OCs Cass and Rowan. They're a succubus and werewolf couple, holding hands and interlocking tails. Cass is in a confident pose with one hand on her hip, while Rowan is neutral and relaxed with a deadpan expression. The two are set against a white background that has an overlay of themselves behind them.
A fully colored digital illustration of a clown character. She's striking a pose with one arm up and one arm down, one leg in front and one to the back. She's smiling brightly and playfully, casting a shadow. The background is purple with a pink grid.
A fully colored digital illustration of my Exalted OCs Salted Salmon and Aabirah. They're kissing, eyes closed, and Salmon has one hand at Aabirah's cheek. The background is black, and there are sparkles on the characters' faces.

“All hail!”
Feet shuffled.
“Well? All hail the #exalted one!”
“Um. He’s a mouse. Although that suit he’s wearing is quite spiffy.” The girl shook her head. “I don’t want to pledge allegiance to a rodent.”
“Better than the current leader.” #vss365
