i'm genuinely having so much fun writing a jock protagonist. can't believe i never tried this before. all these years i've been limiting myself needlessly

the average person loses 0 arms. sevika georg, who loses 1000 arms a day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

sorry since realizing my gender i have zero tolerance for the whole “man hating” angle of being queer i hate i hate it i hate you. stop. you are hurting people.

my mythology pet peeve is when someone describes a scenario in which they keep nearly getting something and then having it snatched away, and everyone's like "one must imagine sisyphus" no!!! one must imagine TANTALUS!!! sisyphus = being made to perform a pointless, aggravating task over and over without ever making any progress. tantalus = being offered a glorious reward only for it to vanish as soon as you reach for it. they are NOT the same

Penelope!!!! (If she was in Hades 2)

The location I would put her in doesn’t exist in the game yet, but I tried to do a bit of a background.

Personally I would understand if Penelope doesn’t actually show up in Hades 2, there’s so much going on in the game already, buuuut if she was there….

I think there’s a lot of fun metaphor in unraveling the day’s weavings as a form of turning back the clock, hence “Witch of Unwinding”. Penelope isn’t referred to as a witch in any myths that I know of, but for various reasons I think it’s a fun change.

why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.

‼️‼️ARCANE SEASON 2 ACT 2 SPOILERS‼️‼️

speaking of arcane, ever since season 1 I’ve had the same theory: the hexcore is NOT the arcane. It’s the fucking void.

for all of y’all that don’t know much of league lore, the void is… Not GoodTM. basically its a sort of another dimension whose whole goal is to consume.

and its usually depicted in black/grey and purple. tons of purple.

yeah… uh…. viktor is definitely being manipulated by this shit. I’m serious ppl. the void warps stuff. corrupts. but its also a whisper in your ear, telling you to join, to listen, to consume. what im saying is. jayce was so right. he can actually see what is there, and he can tell it’s not the arcane anymore, there’s something else at play, and its going to fuck shit up.

anyways. It’s all gonna go to shit soon. also, I will defend jayce with my life bc I KNOW I will be proven right, maybe not abt the void but I’m pretty sure we all know there’s something wrong- always was something wrong- with the utopia. if it seems too good to be true, its because it isn’t true. that’s all lmao

been reading a lot of haunted/sentient house books in the past couple years, and i've encountered 3 main types of narrative: 1) the house loves you and that's a good thing 2) the house loves you and that's a bad thing and 3) the house hates you and that's a bad thing. this leaves a gap for a potential fourth type of story-- the house hates you and that's a good thing. excited to see if hauntologists delve into this quadrant and what it looks like if they do

[adastreia-12]

Yes yes cancellation epidemic but also almost no show that has released lately has been worth watching sorry.

[adastreia-12]

unpopular (?) opinion but I don’t like that they kept Warwick’s face pretty anthropomorphic and recognizably Vander’s. i would’ve liked to see him totally unrecognizable to his daughters and the audience, the familiar made entirely unfamiliar

[adastreia-12]

what the fuck did I just watch

IN THE DARK TIMES, WILL THERE ALSO BE SINGING?

from Lady Chatterley's Lover, D.H. Lawrence (via)

“Grief will come to you. Grip and cling all you want, It makes no difference. Catastrophe? It’s just waiting to happen. Loss? You can be certain of it. Flow and swirl of the world. Carried along as if by a dark current. All you can do is keep swimming; All you can do is keep singing.”
