You know your colleague really isn't awake yet...
she walks up to you holding out a student’s notebook with adjective forms written in it and asks, “It’s ‘more bad’ and ‘most bad,’ right?” You take a look, and the original word in question is in fact “bad”, and the student has written in the following blanks “badder” and “baddest.” When you look up at your...
Seeing
I know it’s supposed to matter that you’re a girl and I’m a girl. I just don’t know why. When your mouth is on mine you’re warm, silky-soft, but that’s not the reason I love kissing you. If I opened my eyes and your eyes had changed to green, they would still be your eyes. If your body changed as I ran my hands down to your hips, it would still be your body. If your body looked like someone...

Epithalamium, by Leslie Adrienne Miller
I have seen them introduce the silver
twisted bits, spikes and wires into the mouths
of horses with the skill and care
the young learn in love. There is little
or no philosophy in this act. The horse will
take the bit. The girl will rise over him
like a moon because she is beautiful
and he does not care if she can or cannot stay.
I’ve watched these girls for days in the barn,
passing their...

Fun fact about mermaids
Disneyland used to feature mermaids basking out on the rocks in the water over the submarine ride. They had to discontinue the practice because sailors (real live sailors, who wore all white, and the little hats and stuff) used to leap in and swim to the mermaids out on the rocks. Also, the mermaids would get too sunburned…

Hummingbird
I see you when I close my eyes. I see you when I close my eyes, Santana, and I didn’t say anything about love, but when you’re humming against my lips I don’t know what else to think. I don’t know what to think, but you’re here, and humming against my mouth. Brushing your lips like wings on my neck, a hummingbird, all feather and shimmer and gloss. You skim, you dart, you hover. Your eyes hold me...

Writing Workshop: What's in a Name? Or, The...
lajeunefilleenfleur:
This workshop is brought to you by a recent conversation with fellow Brittanalyists, fanfiction connoisseurs and all-around smartypants JJ and terriblemuriel, in which we opined about the truly sticky problem of how to reference characters within fiction. When, for example, should you use full names? Nicknames? Pronouns?
Most writing tics and faults originate, after all,...

What Would Be Blue in Other Light
She gasped out of the nightmare to Britt’s voice and her cool hand on Santana’s face. Santana opened her eyes, the sound of her rapid breaths filling up some of the darkness, relief tracing weakly through her body. Brittany was propped up on one elbow above her, eyes steady on her face, a broken triangle of pale light all over her skin.
Still dizzy from her dream, Santana stared up at Brittany,...

from Tribute to the Angels, by H.D.
Now polish the crucible and in the bowl distill
a word most bitter, marah, a word bitterer still, mar,
sea, brine, breaker, seducer, giver of life, giver of tears;
Now polish the crucible and set the jet of flame
under, till marah-mar are melted, fuse and join
and change and alter, mer, mere, mère, mater, Maia, Mary,
Star of the Sea, Mother.
Reblog if you ship Brittana or Faberry. I need to...

From the Cave, by Audre Lorde
Last night an old man warned me to mend my clothes we would journey before light into a foreign tongue. I rode down autumn mounted on a syllabus through stairwells hung in dog and typewriter covers the ocean is rising father I came on time and the waters touched me. A woman I love draws me a bath of old roses.

Writing Workshop: Show, Don't Tell
lajeunefilleenfleur:
Dear Readers, as English department head at Brittana U, I’ve been hoping I might get to lead some writing workshops. I secretly adore being asked for writing advice.
Imagine my delight when my dear aesho treated me to one of the most multidimensional - yet fundamentally important - craft questions of the fiction writer:
I’m writing a one-shot and I wanted to ask your...

Brittana: The Flower Sermon
gleedcanon:
I possess the true Dharma eye, the marvelous mind of Nirvana, the true form of the formless, the subtle [D]harma [G]ate that does not rest on words or letters but is a special transmission outside of the scriptures. This I entrust to Mahākāśyapa.
-Sakyamuni Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama)
I believe the best analogy for the interactions between Brittany and Santana within the Glee...

Wild Geese, by Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and...

Wow, I was *just* discussing The Children's Hour with Gleedcanon two days ago. Shirley MacLaine was my first fangirl experience, and yes I was completely traumatized by this movie.
Shirley did help me further my spiritual journey though, by being the first to introduce me to Eastern spirituality...
