Senior - Tumblr Posts
Thank you everyone for the help :) (none)
just finished the task and performed it in class today, but due to privacy/legality things I can't share the video however at the end of the week on Sunday (17th of March) I'll upload the poem.
I NEED YOUR HELP 🫵
(Reblog for bigger sample size pls)
Im writing a poem for my literature assignment and I need as many water Goddesses as you can find.
Any and every culture is welcome though I already have Greek, Norse, Indian, Chinese and Aboriginal (indigenous Australian)
ANY AND EVERY ONE COUNTS EVEN IF THEY WONT MAKE IT TO THE FINALE COPY
(I’m a huge mythology nerd so I’ll read into them anyway)
IF THIS POST WORKS AND DOES WELL I’LL ADD THE POEM ONCE THE ASSIGNMENT IS DONE
The reports are out by now so here is the monologue/poem:
236,000 humans drowned this year. Do you mourn one? … I mourn all.
I’m responsible, named on the grave, cause of death: The harsh of the wave.
Is Poseidon to blame? No, it’s his wife! Amphitrite! Take note! This water is called she!
For millennia those men brave our rouges and our storms.
Millions lost yet billions borne.
Rán trawls her net over their boat thus yanking them into their final bed of rock and sand.
Ganga and Marina cry, their tears; typhoons
Eingana watches with mixed expression as she sees all her creation fight forces they can’t understand.
Mazu protects what’s hers, leaving the sanctity of her lagoon to do so.
Praised for beauty and poetry yet feared for the fact we she are of the few things one can’t command.
Those dead in deep water can’t be found.
The ocean leaves no trace, nor nothing that can save its face.
Families left, no peace for ones gone, unable to rest, it lingers in minds, a burden one cannot heal.
A wish to not be helpless, nights spent under the waves accompanied only by fish.
Over time it was a slaughter, bodies lost, souls gone, left to the sea.
What do they feel? The grains of sand or the teeth of a fish, The scales of an eel?
A body of death becomes a feature of new life.
A reef on the bones of the deceased.
The creatures do not know or care, It’s home now.
Their Thieves of remains, they desecrate the dead yet provide them purpose.
Perhaps they deserved to die? Men are not sinless creatures after all.
Especially considering how they treat us, isn’t that right Magwayen? they treat us with more than just spite!
How can they assume us to be kind when for centuries they’ve used us?
Sending fleet after fleet onto our surface and tipping their waist into our swash!
They have no right to treat us this way when the tears we cry are of the same pain
They doom our icecaps we so graciously froze just so they could come to fruition, I refuse to accept this!
How half of them refuse to take the blame while others drown
How they make shallow promises of prevention and change
yet you find those same mouths wet by lies of the above line
And those sinking cry why!
Hypocrites! all of them!
Notice how they call their most powerful, important, and feared things she!
Yet they call upon the husbands for safe passage through OUR waters!
They boast their achievements of deep-found treasure, but they turn coy at the mention of how they got there!
People are left to rot when the stem of their problems is of their own kind.
The lot of them are savage! Acting as gods pretending as if they too are not animals.
Everything in the universe is made from the same dust, and yet the humans audaciously claim they are of the most importance!
People beg us for mercy, to save them from their self-inflicted fate
They do this so much so, they forget they are the ones to blame!
We should send our rain and waves to condemn all for their ignorance!
Humans call the ocean treacherous and harsh! The foam of the waves is a sign of rough sea!
We will send raging storms, floods, tsunamis and even cause droughts!
All to make them fear us and come to terms with the fact they are ultimately powerless in the face of Mother Nature!
Mother! Not father! We will prevail in the face of man. We will leave them no time to even attend to the damage!
We will cull those who seek to conquer our home and make all who come after fear us!
Caging them inside a trap-like purgatory
They deserve it for all they’ve done to us!
The end of men! We will bring forth a matriarchy like no other!
No longer will we desire for respect and fame
Sing in Joy for the day of our redemption has come!

Alright, so my performing arts school does a Senior Showcase at the end of the year as a last performance for seniors to show off the height of their talents, right?
People can sing, people can dance, people can act, play instruments, make films, make visual art pieces such as drawings, paintings, or sculptures, and all sorts of stuff.
I, though I am an actor and tap dancer as well, chose to sing because that is the art I've been doing for the longest in my life. I've been singing since second grade.
I could have chosen a normal song from the radio, I could have chosen a song from a musical like Freeze Your Brain from Heathers or I'm Not a Loser from the SpongeBob Musical.
BUT.
My nerd brain decided "y'know what, let's embrace the nerd side of things."
So instead of doing a radio song or a musical song
I'm singing Space Was Cool.
It's finally hitting me that as a high school senior, my last year with the direct physical support of my parents (at least for a little while) is getting closer to being over. I'm gonna be living on my own. That's wild.
I have been shipping people for so long, I wonder if anyone ships me with someone else.
Still thinking about that one high school senior who legit blocked me on WhatsApp because I had ghosted her for a while. Like, she used to do that to me, too. But did I ever act like a snowflake about it? No.
People don't owe you their time. You have to grow up & realize you are not everyone's first priority.
And you actually mattered to me. Which is why I sent you SMSs begging you to unblock me & be friends again. Because unlike someone, I'm actually a decent human being. But clearly, you don't deserve my politeness. Because even after unblocking me, you left me on read. All you do now is watch my status updates. Like a creepy, rotten stalker.
I wish I could block you now. But no. I want you to see that I'm better off without you. I want you to know you're worthless in my life. Also, I refuse to stoop to your standards.
Sincerely,
we know each other as intimately as lovers yet after this year we will move to different states and forget to call to check in. until we are so far out of reach that we can’t even remember who we needed to call in the first place.
senior
im slowly loosing the will to go to college, its SOÂ much work!Â
this senior thesis is killing me, i just hope it’ll be worth it in the end
im so tired
Turun ngewakilin rt dalam pertandingan beregu itu bebannya sangat terasa. Ngga kebayang gimana mentalnya atlet ketika dipercaya wakilin negara dan semisal kalah itu kalau dihujat pedes banget.
Baru kali ini sama cece ketika main dari awal game-selesai cece banyak nenanginnya, kaget aja, 10 tahun lalu les bareng kita ngga pernah jadi pasangan karena sama-sama main single. "Udah 18 nih, 4 point lagi ya" "Jangan buru-buru yang penting koknya masuk aja dulu" "Sorryy" "Tenangg, tenangg" "Siaapp yaa" "Kamu yang eksekusi yaa" "Kalau lagi di depan fokus jangan mikirin belakang, aku yang cover" "Iyaa gapapa"
Dulu pernah dinasehatin sama senior "Kamu harus belajar percaya sama pasanganmu" Percaya kalau dia bisa cover dan mainnya rapih ngga panikan. "Kalau kamu bisa in sama cece kalian yang turun yaa" Lawannya agak hmmm karna pernah liat pas latihan di hall, ku saja sudah ovt tapi yaa berjuang nomer 1 hasil urusan terakhir walau hasil itu yang paling diliat sama orang 😅
Basically what my High school is like
