The Devotion of Saint Kristen Applebees

"devoted to [her] mission, is faithful to the call of the gods on [her] life. [She] is willing to sacrifice [her] own interests to those greater interests (...). [She] binds [her] will and [her] heart to that task. This is what it means to be pious."

(bastardization of Alan Jacob, on the origins and early meaning of the term pius)

Had a vision of Charles playing violin

Capturing someone's likeness is so hard 😭 like I'm happy with how it turned out, but it just doesn't look like Charles to me someone help

Sledgefu, Vietnam War/Roadtrip AU

In 1967, desperate to take part in his generation’s great war, nineteen-year-old Eugene Sledge defied his family to join the Marines, completely unaware that this decision would completely change the trajectory of his life.

In 1973, twenty-five-year-old Eugene Sledge finally felt as if he were getting his life back together again when, after five years of silence, Snafu Shelton appeared on his doorstep in Brooklyn with a question: “You ever seen the Grand Canyon?”

[shiftingwitholiver]

so, this might sound like a really stupid question.

but is it possible to do smaller shifts?

Most of the time when i’m shifting i’m going to a TV show or a book or a different life entirely so i’m not quite sure how it would work but i’ve been thinking about shifting to a reality that’s basically this one but with one or two things changed. For example, one of my friends is homeschooled and we were talking about how amazing it would be if i was too because school is a big cause of my exhaustion,spikes in anxiety and mental health issues, i’m also autistic and being in school is such a horrible sensory experience. And she was saying that if i was then we could call and do our work together and meet up during the day and stuff. So now i wanna shift to a reality where everything is the same but i’m homeschooled (there are a few other things i’m adding but that’s mostly just decreasing sensory issues,erasing my insomnia and making my hair not be super bleach and heat damaged) but i wasn’t quite sure how that would work since the rest of my life and circumstances are the same.

if anyone has and thoughts,ideas or opinions please share!!

Honestly it annoys me that pride, ambition, and generally having a big ego are always villainous/evil-coded personality traits because personally I think if you genuinely are a prodigy at what you do you are 100% within your rights, perhaps even deserving, of flaunting your skills and being proud of the fact you can do something that only a small fraction of other people can do. Is it even ego at that point if you genuinely are as good at your field/skill as you say you are? Are people not aware that becoming a prodigy at something is something that takes lifelong sacrifice and practice sometimes to the point of giving up on having a normal life, relationships, etc even potentially destroying your own health???? God I fucking hate how pride in your own skills and ambition are so villain coded all the time. As if it's evil to want to be good at something and be recognized for what you rightfully earned

I need the iwtv s2 scripts just so I can see whether or not the writers fundamentally misunderstood what a “donor portrait” means in renaissance painting

[soullessjack]

this isnt rlly a serious post more so than a thought I need to verbalize but like. there’s an INSANE difference between the fandom being like “hey what if jack was actually his age and got to be a little normal” vs y’all treating a grown ass man like he has to cover his ears when someone swears or sleep with a nightlight on because he’s afraid of the dark, and throwing the P word around to anyone who thinks he’s attractive. one of these things is not like the other.

I've seen so many interesting and fun greek myth ships over the years both divine and mortal supported by text and just for fun, and yet I fear tonight, I will be throwing my hat into the ring as a propagator of niche greek myth ships because like, no seriously how is Aristaeus/Dionysus not already thing.

Omni oriented aroace culture is feeling lots of tertiary attraction for people all across the gender spectrums a/ varying intensity, but nobody knows what that means even within the queer community so you just explain what aroace is, hope they don't hate you, and maybe explain further if you get to a point you trust them enough 🫠

That makes a total of 2 people that I know irl that know my full identity kinda sorta, and one of them is quite literally my queerplatonic partner 🙃 fun times /neg

I'm currently researching the 20th century education system in New Orleans (reading "Becoming American in Creole New Orleans" for anyone whose interested) and here's a little segment I came across:

"As Upton Sinclair observed in The Goslings: A Study of American Schools, it “is the thesis of the businessmen who run our educational system that the schools are factories, and the children are raw material, to be turned out thoroughly standardized, of the same size and shapes, like biscuits or sausages."

It's good to know that our education system never evolved past the 20th century, amirite fellas ♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Being a Book Wicked fan is truly tragic, because how can I ever begin to explain that the most developed friendship during the Shiz years was not between Elphaba and Glinda, but between Elphaba and Boq?
