i think orpheus and icarus are one in the same in the sense that they were both given tasks that the universe(/gods) knew they could not fulfill. orpheus loved eurydice too much to not turn around and icarus yearned for freedom too much to not fly too high. is it fair to call icarus’ love for true freedom hubris when orpheus’ wish to return eurydice to him was equally, if not more, defiant towards the gods? is it fair to call icarus selfish when orpheus’ tale is seen as nothing but love and tragedy, not deluded hubris for the laws of the world?
#icarus speaks#being normal today#i’ve spoken about it before#but i dislike the interpretations of icarus having a ‘hubris’ and wanting to surpass the gods#which. i know isn’t like a modern thing. euripides (i believe was his name) had helios strike him down in his version#but the interpretations i love most are just him wanting freedom#as much as i dislike him ovid does it really well#and if we want to stick with just the greeks and not roman retellings#the pseudo-apollodorus version is in fact my favorite

do you guys ever get emotional about the fact that someone (a character) is Out There, Somewhere. like it's ok that i don't even know them but it makes me happy to think about the fact that this person's in the same reality as me (again, in this case). Like whether in a kintype situation or a fictive or some combination or whatever. They're Out There and i hope to god happy. maybe they even have friends from the same source and they found each other again. Shout out to You for existing wherever you are
#to me this post is specifically about swerve. if you're out there buddy lmk how you're doing -rodimus#but also any fictionfolk can take this to heart.#does anyone else ever think about this? like? sure I get the whole “oh i'm so sad i might never find so-and-so again”#but i get these moments where i could cry happy knowing that person's out there and happy#or hoping at least#who knows. maybe it's an “it couldn't be going worse keith” situation#if anyone reads this you can tell me off or on anon how your Situation is going#especially if there's any transformers that follow me that i'm not already friends with#if you're a fictive how are you liking system life! did you see a bird today!#if you're fictionkin are you happy here! do you have friends from your source! did you see a bird today!#and if you Are an idw swerve im gripping your arms i hope you're happy i hope so fucking bad you're happy and surrounded by friends.#if you know one tell them to hmu if theyre interested in saying#god i hope all these tags post in the right order i wrote them all out of order#froggy speaks

i have no clue what's going on w/ the hiring process for the job offer i got yesterday, but at least it seems like nobody at the post office does either. 🙃
#ctxt#charlie vs mail#got a call from some guy at the regional sorting facility like 'uuh yeah just drop in to your PO whenever for fingerprinting'#so i show up in shorts & a t-shirt as a stop along a multi-errand trip bc my impression was that this is just a part of the background check#woman doing my prints was like 'idk if anyone's here to speak with you today but we can check'#me still thinkin it's just a casual meet/greet 'oh no worries haha! btw i got the job offer before having even 1 interview is that normal?'#she doesn't know but leads me around until we find someone buried under a stack of paperwork at her desk#'hi [redacted!] charlie is here for their interview!'#redacted peers over his monitor like a deer in headlights 'who is here for their what now??? oh uuuhh gimme a minute uuuhhhhh'#i'm sweatinnnmng like i'm wearing my birks i am massively underprepared but ok i guess we're doing this & they already offered me the job so#redacted also seemed to be panicking a lil bc the person who usually does these interviews isn't even in today#we had a moment of 'so we're both utterly blindsided here right?' 'yeah can we reschedule?' 'yes god please let's reschedule'#so i'm going back thursday for an actual interview. after already completing background check & filling out tax paperwork#get home to an email from the dude who called me this morning like 'btw dress business casual for your fingerprinting & bring XYZ'#but still stating nowhere that the implication was that fingerprinting & interview would happen concurrently????#this is a federal institution & the second largest employer in the US. get ur shit together !!!#hoping it's not gonna be a black mark that i showed up in my casual summer clothes without the necessary docs#but tbf to me the expectations were hella unclear like i wasn't even given a point of contact for an onboarding supervisor until today#since they were also drastically underprepared i hope it'll just be water under the bridge & we can properly meet thursday#hands down weirdest hiring/onboarding process i've ever gone through but fuck it we ball

forcing yourself out of harmful habits feels like pulling teeth but i guess i want to get better. for those i love and for those who love me. or whatever
#the heron speaketh#oh my GOD it sucks so bad#it was a really insufferable day today and i was thinking very hard about lessons from therapy#and as FUCKING stupid as it feels it really does benefit you to be. like. gentler with yourself#and sometimes getting better means forcing yourself to be uncomfortable and make a Better Choice than distancing yourself for a week#and worrying people. OR being unwarrantedly rude#no you dont want to kill yourself you just want a new job and you havent seen your friends in a while. that sort of thing#just as an example. from nothing in particular of course not like im speaking from experience or anything#why am i talking about this suddenly? what do you care. fuck off

i have to go to bed very soon so instead i'm lying here being overcome by clintasha emotions
#i've spent today rereading bucky barnes gets his groove back and the clintasha chapter never fucking fails to send me into a tailspin#the shared history. their shared history. god#i love CNL and CNL is one of my top ships of all time#but man if clintasha by itself without anyone else and especially without any kids doesn't mean something so much to me#i will never be a normal person and neither will you and by fucking god we will warp each other beyond recognition to be abnormal together#we'll spend so long speaking in code that it becomes the only way we speak#i don't know what other people mean by trust but for me it's what you do#sb and l rambles#sb and l reads fic#mcu#mcu ideas#clintasha#there's a fic out there about nat time-travelling back after endgame and fixing everything#she saves all the other girls in the red room. she gets bucky out. she stops loki and thanos and saves the world#and it is good. and everyone is happy. and she gets a romance with maria hill#what does she give up for all of this good? there is so much good. and all she loses in this new timeline is her relationship w clint#i don't even think the author ships clintasha. but man if that doesn't sum them up#natasha can fix everything and can save herself and have sisters and be the hero she's never let herself dream about being#and all it costs is the absolute bone-deep fucked up secret language that is her relationship with clint barton#all it costs is her ability to be that close to another person. to only have one couch she allows herself to pass out on#''telling clint doesn't count. that's like talking to my right elbow'' indeed

i don't want heleamond now. idk how to explain it, but i would've been so happy for heleamond to have been a thing whilst aegon was healthy and alive, but now that he's out of commission, heleamond would make me sob and not in a good way. it feels like you're squeezing lemons and salt into his wounds. team green are fr their own biggest opps.
on one hand, it really drives home how much of an unlovable and hated character aegon was (understandably so), but on the other hand, at the end of the day he really was trying to protect his family and do good for the people but no one appreciated it and saw him as a burden (which is also understandable). he didn't do a very good job of it, but he also never got the guidance or the reassurance he needed to help him flourish. he wanted to help and be useful, and i empathise with that so much.
he's stuck in this vicious cycle of does something stupid, hates himself and becomes self-destructive and immediately turns to alcohol, and then does something stupid again.
i can't believe i have so much sympathy for fucking aegon of all people but his character has made me bawl time and time again and i both love and hate that.
#🌻.lija speaks#hotd spoilers#hotd season 2#this post is half baked because I havent slept all night so idek if this even makes sense but i hope it does#i will acc sleep now its 5:30 am but thank god i have today free

im sorry UTS, but WHAT on fucking earth is "creative intelligence and innovation"????? and why on earth would anyone studying nursing or midwifery need "entrepreneurship and innovation" as a double degree??
#life#about me#shut up ilona#uni#uni life#uts is uni of technology sydney btw#thought i'd have a look today at what courses they offer to see if they got rid of that library course i was going to do back in 2019#and my GOD. reading the subject outlines for the “creative intelligence and innovation” subjects......#....were literally just vague asf corporate-speak gobble-de-gook for 'system thinking and innovation leaders of tomorrow'#what the fuck does that have to do with nursing or midwifery???#WHY would you add another like 16 to like 20 grand to a nursing degree with this useless ass diploma of corporate brainrot???#like motherfucker. do you really WANT a theranos 2.0 or an elizabeth holmes 2.0???#bc that's what you're opening up the world to with this bs 'creative intelligence and innovation' course....#..... paired with many of the egotistical high school mean girls that apparently go into nursing and other medical field careers...#....and also entrepreneurship.... or at least in my opinion anyway#you can also pair it with science which also to me could lead to sketchy shit tbh

I didn’t today though. hashtag winning 💪 (?)#I will get over it. I will speak to no one over midterms week and I will get so over him.#and then I will be so normal platonic about it.#this was supposed to happen in highschool I think I was supposed to get comfortable w this way earlier in life.#I don’t know I don’t care I just need to survive this at this point Jesus Christ.#and hey guess what I was just about to start gushing in this tag it snuck up on me wtf.#I do not want him. (<- affirmations)#I can never let anyone have my Tumblr or my art socials ever god imagine. Anyone seeing this.#it would suck so bad. Guys. I would have to kms.#why did I meet the most attractive and nicest and coolest guy immediately. why is this my first friend in 5 years.#sorry that is gushing huh. god this sucks so bad. I hate. having emotions.#well it’s not gushing it’s like objective fact people will not stop saying he’s won the genetic lottery to his face.#And I get crazy 2nd hand embarrassment every time but also not wrong.#they’re not wrong. ugh. killing myself.#guys why does every tag ramble end this way. guys. why. why am I becoming a real boy I want to be a puppet again actually.#ok. normal time 4 minutes left in movie clean bathroom then sneepy time and I will do so good not thinking about him and will sleep immedia

Tmi but having your workplace send you home for crying too much is such a humiliating feeling somebody take me out back
#my father figure has been in the hospital the past few days and today was my breaking point apparently#tom speaks#somebody put me out of my misery this is humiliating#vent#my boss was pissed with me today#told my store manager first about my situation about bereavement leave#and my meat cutter boss got mad at me for not telling him first#EVEN THOUGH HE LITERALLY WAS THE VERY NEXT SOUL I TOLD#didn't go to anyone else didn't take any breaks#and then he gives me a talk about howni need to tell him about these things even thOUGH I JUST DID#WHAT#and when i ran to the back of the store breaking down his first words to me were to not let that happen again because#he didn't want his boss getting angry at him for it#oh#my god#who does that#this happens with any little thing

dungeons and dragons is so fun bc right now i’m in 2 campaigns and i play them back-to-back on fridays.
in the first campaign i play this mangy little level 5 goblin spores druid named pellet. she is silly and i love her to death. also she will bite your ankles and it will fucking Hurt. the entire party she’s a part of is very well balanced and- despite their sometimes clashing personalities- they’re very competent in combat which leads to thrilling high-stakes battles
in the second campaign i play a level 4 half-elf goolock named cal. we’re all playing villains in a cyberpunk and we work for a villain organization. cal is NOT built for this whole high-stakes job thing, nor is the rest of his team. this party consists of a bunch of glass cannons and one glass nuclear bomb (our wizard). today’s session was the first time cal has been in combat and not passed out or been downed- we did not finish this encounter, though, so there’s still time for him to get bodied
#marzi speaks#it’s SO funny#i go from this incredibly powerful druid to the world’s most pathetic nepo baby#pellet does not know what a sex or a romance is- she just knows people are weird about each other sometimes#cal avoids discussions of sex but pretends women love him. he does not know that he’s gay yet but the closet is glass#pellet is unbothered and in her lane. she finds conflict funny#cal has become a dedicated hater of one specific hero after she absolutely bodied him. he tries to flame her on social media#today pellet moonbeamed the shit out of a horrifying spider cyborg and prepared to do surgery on a party member#today cal’s organization got raided and he is currently fighting a very strong hero in a robe and skincare face mask#pellet laughs at god. cal begs god for just one good day#they’re so funny

#i currently need it to read out 28 pages / 13k words and god damn does this take long#but it definitely finds all the writing mistakes i've made that no program told me was wrong#let's see if i can get this story out today... (anything 4 u pii)#own#the sergeant speaks
