The poet they probably shouldn’t have sent. I watch anime and am sometimes accused of reading books. I'm writing a long gay giant robot story in verse—probably this millennium's best yuri mecha epic poem, through lack of competition.

'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country’s countless bells.'

The gwitch fanart in this tweet…

…strikes me as pretty neat, because it plays with this pre-Raphaelite painting by John William Waterhouse, which was in turn inspired by Keats's poem 'La Belle Dame sans Merci'.

While in the Waterhouse painting the Belle Dame has encircled the knight's neck in her hair, chacolita has rather neatly decided to have Miorine entwining their hair together.

(If you don't know JWW, you might well already have seen his v. famous painting depicting Tennyson's 'Lady of Shalott'.)
