Stop saying…

“Psychotic/Schizophrenic” when you mean: unpredictable, unhinged, unreal, etc.

“Bipolar” when you mean: polarized, scattered, fickle, unstable, etc.

“Delusional” when you mean: unrealistic, unreasonable, close-minded, stubborn, etc.

“[insert “R” slur in relation to intellectual disabilities]” when you mean: unreasonable, unintelligent/ridiculous, childish, etc.

“OCD” when you mean: particular, neat, overbearing, etc.

“Narcissistic” when you mean selfish, abusive, manipulative, etc.

Note: I’m NOT saying that these are synonymous. This is also not an exhaustive list.

Yellow archangel Pet portrait for the very kind Romney 💚 thank you again!

I fell in love with these flowers last year when I started gathering mushrooms - the forests around me are filled with these and I just love the patterns on their leaves!

i lead a youth outdoor skills afterschool program every week and some of the kids are from a christian school & some are from a public school and on the bus this week one of the kids announced that she doesn't believe in god, which really perturbed the other children, and they all started discussing & then debating and talking over each other so I said, "Hey everyone, if this isn't a conversation we can have calmly and kindly, we will have to change the topic."

I watched these ten years olds (and one eight-year-old) all take a moment to emotionally regulate, and then they took turns and gave everyone a chance to speak until they all finally decide on their own without any guidance from me that they simply would not agree on this and to move on. the next topic was what forms mountain ranges.

once again I am here to tell writers to please avoid writing 10-year-olds like 4-year-olds like I so often see because they're out here having theological debates with more empathy for each other than most I've seen on this website

It sounds funny but I’m actually a second generation sex shop employee. My mom worked in one for a while when I was little. It definitely set a very blasé tone around sex growing up which was great until it was mortifying because I was a teenager.

I don’t have many clear memories from when I was a kid but a few stand out. First is that when I was too sick to go to daycare I’d get to hang out in the back room of the shop my mom worked in. It was basically paradise.

Firstly, because my mom was in charge of inventory and there was always a kings ransom in boxes. So most of my sick days were spent in custom box fortresses filled with blankets and pillows. I got to watch the TV in the safety of my cardboard castle. My mom’s boss would also usually let me play with the stone otters she kept on her desk. I adored those otters and looked forward to sick days where I got to caress their carved stone features.

Second, mom’s work had the best candy. There was a novelty brand they carried that I still think about. Sure, the chocolates were shaped like boobs, but I did not care because they were the most delicious chocolates I’d ever had. I only got a candy if I were very good so I stayed on my best behavior most of the time.

I did get in trouble once for wandering into the back stock while looking for props to play with. I ended up finding a joke pack of condoms that were super tiny and using them as hats for my little toys. Thank goodness they were unlubricated. I was chided for this and the teeny condoms were carefully returned to their package.

But my absolute favorite was when I go to stay until closing. While mom was counting down the til I could wander the display shelves and touch all the sample dildos. I only had a vague sense that these represented anatomy- mostly I just cared about their relative texture merits. I poked and squeezed my way through the displays dongs, approving particularly squishy ones, disdaining the hard plastic offerings.

I rated them from worst to best until my mom secured her cash box and we went home, leaving behind a wonderland of yummy candy, stone otters, and cardboard kingdoms.

I find it really funny that the last two Dragon Age games have advisors to guide them through the game. Like the Hero of Fereldan got a brief introduction and a slap on the ass before being immediately placed in charge.

How Ponify ruined my life

Possibly the most horrifying thing that has ever happened to me occurred today. So I’m in a creative writing class at university right now and we had to print out twenty-five copies of our first, one page assignment to distribute to the class. I had to print mine at the computer lab as I don’t have a printer, but here are the three crucial facts that made this the worst mistake of my life.

1. Sometimes, when you log into Google on Chrome, it activates all of your extensions, even ones you’ve deactivated.

2. In high school, my friends and I got really into Ponify (a words replacing chrome extension) and switched the preferences so we could read political articles and have congress get into a “rousing snow ball fight” and the like.

3. Ponify reverted to its original My Little Pony lingo when opened on a new computer’s chrome.

So when I distributed my twenty-five copies of this I noticed the word “everypony”, my heart seized up and dropped into my stomach, and with my imminent death approaching, I began furiously correcting all twenty-five of them. My teacher, confusedly, agreed to let me correct them as I was too infuriated and ashamed to say my mistake aloud. 

I just realized, however, that the line “as she watched the binding fall away in her hand” was changed to “as she watched the binding fall away in her hoof”. 

And I just had to send this email:

And basically I’m ready for death how was your day

i see you're a liker of arcane and bg3. based on what you know, if possible, which character do you find the most similar to astarion? if you are unable to choose for him, which character do you think he would find himself the most relatable to? basically (since he's his own favorite character), who would astarion root for the most in the series?

there's no 1-to-1 analog for the obvious reasons, but there's a lot of overlap between him and jinx in the way trauma shapes a person. it manifests for them in very different ways, of course - jinx has a very fragmented grasp on reality while astarion is hyper-pragmatic and really only concerned with self-preservation - but there's more than that, too.

jinx and astarion both have a dark, violent whimsy borne of their circumstances. astarion prefers stabbing and jinx prefers explosions, but it's there; they love violence. jinx's flair for dramatics is perfectly in line with astarion's theatrics, and they've both got a vain streak. jinx loves cosmetics and putting her mark on everything she touches, and astarion, well - look at him. listen to his voice lines.

but we're missing one! a big one!

both jinx and astarion were irrevocably ripped from "normal" humanity - for jinx, with shimmer, and for astarion, vampirism.

silco all but brings jinx back from the dead with shimmer, but she's more unstable than ever, after. she's faster and tougher, but not without cost, and she never had a say in the matter. as she so eloquently says, powder fell down a well.

theoretically, astarion had a say in being turned, but given the circumstances of his turning, it's not a stretch to say he didn't really have a choice. death or vampirism. he, like jinx, is stronger, faster, etc. but he can never go back. the astarion who was a magistrate is never coming back.

through others' intervention, they become something different that they never asked to be (well, astarion did, but he didn't understand)

there's more - hero without ever asking for it, being a jinx and causing death and destruction everywhere they go - but we can't be here all day.
