#Anchorite

[setthephaserstorot]

I think Anchorite is one of the best Car Seat Headrest songs ever. The way it essentially resolves the narrative of Twin Fantasy is so heartbreaking and the clarity he has for the relationship, even though he still hurts in the end is so interesting

picture this.

it’s halloween (i’m always thinking about halloween, i’m sorry that i can’t be more sorry about this.) we’re leaning up against some building scrambling to get cash for the entry and we keep sharing cigs.

talking about things we hate. i keep crashing out over dudes dressed as the joker hitting on me. every time a girl in a patrick bateman costume passes us you say something about how you should’ve dressed up more. i tell you to shut up, and you don’t. you don’t stop laughing at my awful jokes.

you’re effortlessly cool. like you actually fit in in hollywood. i feel awkward standing with you. like i’m talking too much, or maybe not enough. but it works. somehow it feels more comfortable than i’ve ever been at home or anywhere else.

we finally get in and i play the part of the wallflower. you get a taste for how really and truly agoraphobic i am while a drunk guy in an excellent robin costume makes his way over to us to chat amiably about nothing 6 different times. we talk about music in between robin’s interruptions and i disappear into the crowd while you buy us beers.

you text me asking where i’m at and i don’t see it. but i see you, and when you find me again you smile and i memorize the way that smile looked in the blue lights in the few seconds it takes to get back to you. we drink, and dance, and talk about music more. we leave right when my dumbest friend shows up to ruin everything and you get drunk in her back seat while i continue to fall for you.

when we crawl into bed i take your makeup off. drunkenly try to extend our stay through the next day, knowing we’ll be sleeping until late afternoon at the earliest. i fail, predictably, but you hardly mind. we get drunker and snuggle up together while she loses her mind about not getting all the attention. i admire you for calling her out for being pathetic.

i think the definition of the type of love i am capable of providing resides in the fact that i dragged myself out of bed early in the morning to make sure we wouldn’t get kicked out of the hotel, and stop by the vending machine to grab you a water bottle and tylenol before falling asleep again with my head on your shoulder.

I'm a little late to the party with Luce but I also got really into Trench Crusade last year and I felt the urge to combine the two things. Luce being a representative for Catholicism and Trench Crusades being the epitome of God's love and vision for humanity, it felt right to combine the two.

It mostly gave me an excuse to draw a bunch of Trench Crusade shit; I love those little dudes. I dunno how you get much better than "drink the blood of the 7th cloned Jesus and become a 15 foot tall mutant with an oversized tank rifle" in your war-game setting, it just be like that.

Neither Trench Crusade or Luce belong to me. But Catholicism does actually belong to me; I invented it in the 2nd century AD so that I could piss off my other christian friends who were trying to spread Orthodoxy.

Sometimes I wish I hadn’t taken all my notes on your rolling papers But when you burned them the scent came as such a bittersweet vapor I watched the flames silence the words I was given in life But if your heart was in it, I was glad to be your sacrifice

Sometimes filters make you look how you actually feel, in this case "how i feel after being made to go outside in the sunshine and now i am genuinely ready to kill the next person who says how lovely it is to be outside in the sunshine". I am indoors in the dark so it's all good

Some viable reasons for why this anchorite might have had syphilis are given, which is good.

Adaptation and Survival: Lessons from Nature

The content explores the contrasts between humans and animals in adapting to their environments. It highlights how humans have evolved to create comforts and conveniences, such as modern housing and transportation, allowing them to thrive globally. However, it questions the sustainability of a lifestyle disconnected from these modern amenities, suggesting that such isolation may be less practical…

every once in a while i get violently depressed over the fact that my life ended before it got to start.

i didn’t graduate high school due to early onset schizoaffective disorder. getting diagnosed caused me to be moved into special education classes in the last month of high school. i was short on graduating by exactly 1 chemistry class.

my mental illness is exacerbated by my physical illness, which i’ve had and known about since early childhood.

i’m in the process of getting SSDI, which, for me, means i’m not able to work an “actual” job. it’s only under the table work for the rest of my life.

i’m medically discouraged from learning to drive, so i can’t do shit like door dashing or instacart.

i feel kinda doomed to be a burden to my mother forever. i can’t help but feel like im disappointing everyone in my life by virtue of being disabled. i feel like i could’ve done so much more with my life. like i’m capable of doing more, although im simultaneously incapable.

sad.

Ceremonial Regalia specific

I like to make sure that Anchorite clothing is as accurate as possible, while also putting my own little spin on things. Yuliyrel is a Vindicator that wanted to embrace the light more, she wanted to understand the light more. So she studies the ways of the Anchorites. To the left is the default Anchorite Regalia. TRP wise, what Yuli is wearing is an Anchorite Ceremonial Regalia. Basically, it means that she is ready to learn the next step. To "Graduate" as they say.

I know that I would go insane if I actually had to live as an anchorite.

So why does it still appeal to me so much?
