listen.
i don't think
being popular on social media
has ever been a particularly
bad thing,
because if your words can
play people's heartstrings
like mozart played piano,
if your words can
draw masses of people to you
like holy cities draw the religious,
if your words can
shape the way we think
like revolutions shape the world,
that's something to be proud of.
but if you can't do that
without copying the greatest
writers of all time,
if you can't do that
without rearranging or recycling sentences
that have already been written,
if you can't do that
without worrying about likes
or reposts or follower counts,
that's something to be ashamed of.
how dare you encourage plagiarism
in exchange for popularity?
how dare you sacrifice originality
in exchange for fame?
how dare you make a mockery
out of one of the world's most beautiful
forms of art?
how dare you treat this like a joke?
poetry is better than this.
you are better than this.
at least, you should be.

Domhain: A Modern Fantasy LitRPG
(Blurb) When Ardan, a teenage elf boy, is thrown into the world- his world, of distrust and tension, he wants only one thing. To live a normal life, get a job, make friends, even start a family. But either dumb luck or fate won't leave him alone. With the power of a game system and magic, he's determined to find out the reason he was picked, and what makes him special. Along the way, hopefully meeting new friends and learning some magic here and there. (Synopsis) Domhain - a world split between five nations and five unique magical gifts; home of elves, dwarves, goblins, trolls, and humans, each of them so different but in reality more alike than anyone would like to acknowledge. Twenty years ago, the humans, weakest of the five, secretly acquired powerful magic and set out for war. The united forces of the other nations stood no chance. Humanity prevailed, proving itself as the new leader of the modern world. Now, Domhain is at peace but tensions are rising again. The humans want more than their territory back. They want it all. And they want revenge. But this time, the elves hide a dark power, and will stop at nothing to wipe the humans off Domhain forever. War is inevitable. Thousands will die. And the power to stop it all falls into the hands of none other than a particularly tall fifteen-year-old elf orphan. Ever since he could remember, Ardan lived a normal, sheltered, life in an elven orphanage. On the day he's finally able to leave for good and start his independent life, something strange occurs. He is given a pill, a gift, that turns his life into a game with levels, quests, dungeons, and a... talking weapon? All of which are capable of transforming his body and the world around him. As if that weren’t enough, Ardan learns the orphanage has hidden natural magic from him, and the whole world is intertwined with it. More importantly, he, as an elf, has a particularly unique and powerful heritage. That heritage, along with the benefits of his new power makes him a target for the greed of many... With nothing but his friends and a incredibly smart sister, he is determined to find out what makes him so special. Who can he trust?
