Pulling, squishing, mixing particles of pigment
Earning strength points through exertion of fingers
Veins of green and orange stretch and become thinner
Until it's all one lump of greenish brown playdough
"Where is orange?"
Mom begins to sing
Oh, arrow of entropic time!

Gaseous horrors of explosive lights
Glisten in void, capturing sight
Nuclear powered giants of space
Stare at them enough and they will melt your face
Evaporate and incinirate
When they are nearby it is already late
They murdered more life than they brought into being
The sound strategy against them is fleeing

I want poems of the Stars for inspiring my story "Charisma" please! I would love if you used these crazed ramblings in bold below for inspiration. It would be so cool for those who have actual poem expertise to create a poem from the Mutterings on the Stars! Do your own personal spin on their philosophy, and for a fun tangent, how do they connect to The Monotone Puppet (which is soon to be an actual character outside of my persona).
For those who don't want to do poem stuff, what is your opinion on the best-est of FRIENDS, the Famished for Entertainment, the Stars!?

Mutterings on the Stars

We wink on ourselves, an uncountable number of glistening, twinkling eyes hungering for sight beyond the lightless blood under which they are submerged.

We turn around on ourselves, moving empty flesh; distorting billions of sights above eyelids.

We avoid the mockeries on ourselves; we are The Glistening With Tears And Starving For Adulation.

We feed on ourselves, a twinkle of amusement in our eyes; our saccharine world and you go squidgy, squidgy, squidgy, squidgy, squidgy, squidgy, squidgy, squidgy, squidgy...

We see the monotone fueled on ourselves and give to the nonexistent through the nonexistent blood.

We place the stage on ourselves; coughing, mindless actors crawling miserably over our beautiful bodies.

We proffer a hand to ourselves for we care not to do so to you.

We hum a song on ourselves, a reverie of dying and hunger, for we are made for flying and crying, we are falling and older, then lying and younger.
You thought Ai-chan would be an eldritch monster making poems. Hah! Ai-chan defies you!


From the earth to the sky
From the ground to up high
Our humble hearts fly
We wish...

For you who watches
Please...

Listen to our voice
To our dance
To our songs
To our laments

The mornings are dark
The noons are hot
The evenings are exhausting
And the nights are bleak

Greetings to the rising sun
Greetings to the good people
Greetings to the resilient heart
Greetings to the stars above

Oh you who watches above
Please watch our dance
Please hear our song
So you may see our strength

The strength we stood by
The strength we forged together
The strength we learned to cherish
The strength we faced from dawn

Our lives are tough
Our lives are wretched
But we will keep dancing.
So we are not defeated.

Come and dance.
Come and dance.
Old and young, come and dance.
Weak and strong, come be merry.

We shall dance under the sun.
We shall dance in the rain.
We shall dance in the dark.
We shall dance as we mourn.

Oh you twinkles in the sky,
Watch us, down below.

Watch us whose lives are like a flash of spark.
Not even a moment of flames, a blink of an eye.
But we shall keep dancing to our tune.

We shall not lay down and die.

So you from high above.
Dance and be merry.
Celebrate our lives.
That is like a flicker in your eyes.

Stars, as in a mass of gass dense enough to undergo fusion, are quite rare in the void sea. Usually what creatures see and call stars, is either just planar radiation coming from the deformities in a planar shell or distant planes or powerful entities that have impacted said planer shell. As for wiggling, screaming, silent stars, those could be seen as a few things depending on its origin. If it is an intraplanar entity I can not really explain it without knowing how the plane in question manipulates its essences. Extraplaner ‘silent stars’ come in three main categories.

The Void born, the escaped planar entities, and soul blobs. Void born entities are the most perplexing since Void is the essence of the mind, anything the mind could think of could be a void entity. But, that is only when speaking in hypotheticals, for anything bigger than an average fist requires a high amount of Aether, or a similar essence, to keep the Void from pulling the Void entity apart.

Escaped planar entities tend to under go mutations if they are not prepared for their escape into the Void Sea. If that entity were to have enough Aether to allow it to expand to the size of a star without dissipating, then it is likely for it to survive in a wiggling screaming form.

Soul blobs however are the most likely contender for your title of silent star. An unprotected spirit will need to either find protection or consume souls to prevent itself from dissipating. Every once and a while, in planes with low planar radiation, a spirit will consume enough souls to consume a plane. At that point, if it hadn’t already, the spirit will lose control of its mind and become a chimera of minds and forms. This soul blob’s only goal would be the consumption of more souls. Typically they can last a minimum of 1 million of your earth years before they start dissipating due to the Void. These soul blobs roam the Void Sea and are quite the threat if you are not prepared for them. Even then, the most reliable preparation is an escape plan. Soul Blobs are surrounded by a large field of random soul magic. You know of how your Sun’s magnetic field causes a lot of electric activity and corona shit. Imagine something like that but the size of your solar system and way more magical, and you have the smallest recorded soul blobs. If you were to point to a part of that blob, it would have its own mind and soul body/shape. That would constantly be in flux due to the rest of the blob. Wiggling and screaming do not give it justice, it is pure agony trapped in a uncaring ever shifting mass of agony, that consumes and consumes until it pops into multiple other blobs of agony. Even that description does not give justice to those incomprehensible abominations.
