first sunny day in july!! we are going on a hike let me plan this right now

[thegodthief]

I'm looking at having to start eating certain somethings on the regular or start chewing on a lot more daily pills and I wasn't up for either option. Had a dream where Senshi (from Dunmeshi) was preparing a meal for me using one of those somethings. He explained at length all the different ways the somethings could be prepared so I wouldn't have taste exhaustion. (Is that a thing?)

"Having to change your diet can be just as stressful as having to change your lifestyle, because that's what you're doing. But by taking little steps and bites now, you can prevent more drastic measures later. Not to mention, you don't have to do this alone. Here, you're just dreaming about being in the dungeon with me. When you wake up, even the taste of this soup will fade. But you have family that would be happy to help you, if not to cook for you, then to cook with you."

"Sure, you could chew on concentrated pills everyday, but nutrients are best absorbed when you're happy, so why not take the time to learn something new and to share the fun of learning."

The soup was done. I didn't know those things could be combined like that, but I remembered the cookbook in my waking kitchen that did just that. He gave me a bowl and spoon. "Careful, it's hot."

As I sipped on the broth, he continued detailing all the ways that I could update my diet and how doing so would have other effects on my lifestyle.

"Sometimes change is very hard because you can't imagine how life could be any different from what you're used to. But the same fruit that is used to make a sweet dessert, can also be the basis for a savory dinner. You just have to be willing to try, and to have enough respect for yourself to say when something works and when it doesn't."

I held the now empty bowl in my lap. "That's the thing, Senshi. I'm not sure I'm worth the effort to try."

He took the bowl and refilled it. "I think you are. I know you are. Or I wouldn't be here. This place, this dungeon of your mind, is constantly shifting. But ultimately, it wants to be okay. It wants you to be okay. And if that means we are in the same space for a while, here we are."

He handed me a second helping. "When you wake up, pay attention to what you ate here. The taste will not come with you to the waking. But it will signal what your body needs most right now."

He stood up and began to clean his now empty pan. "If all goes well, we will never meet here again. I will return to the story I came from. You will go to create your own. But if I mean anything to you, let it be something good for you. If you feel bad for letting yourself down, know that I'm proud of you for trying. Farewell."

He slung his pan and sack over his shoulder and ambled into the dark passageway. The moment he was out of sight, I heard stone scraping against stone and knew there was no way for us to meet again.

I finished the soup and placed the empty bowl and spoon on the floor where the dungeon cleaners immediately gathered to decompose the wood. The taste of the meal was already gone, but the memory of the cookbook was stronger. I turned and saw a set of steps leading up with a faint light far ahead. The moment I put a foot on the first step, daylight envelopes me and I woke up.

The first thing I did was to drink a big glass of water. Senshi's meal was very fluid and I remembered his advice.

Today, I had a different lunch, one that incorporated the food I needed to add but in a way that made it a pleasure to eat. As I did, I realized there is a common drink that I could keep at work and at home that would not be a bother.

Actually, it would be a welcome change.

I just had to accept that the change was necessary and if it took externalizing my concerns like this so I could address it, then so be it.

Thanks, Senshi. I'll do my best.

putting aside the wonky art of Lore Olympus, there's so many things that just make it hard to get through the first like 20 chapters/pages and that's the over-sexualization of a 19-year-old and then later just. the over-sexualization of every women character. (same face and body-type syndrome. which makes Minthe look that much more attractive because I feel like she's really the only one with a consistent different body type)

As a man reading LO it gets tired and creepy in Persephone's case because I'm reading about her nonchalant response to potentially being pregnant (with Apollo) and going to an unnamed gynecologist (Elithiya was right there...) all while she's still 19. physically and mentally she's 19. How do people get through the first pages because I'm struggling.

[sharplimeade]

btw Phoenix also ate a poison bottle glass necklace when he was 19 and was fine. The bottle was empty but it still would've had traces of the poison. Also it was glass and had a thick metal chain. There's also the time he got hit by a car into a light pole and only sprained his ankle. A running joke in the fandom is that he's immortal basically.

what is wrong with wright .

[fortheturnstiles]

finally seeing the second half of carny i understand it is not only an important movie because robbie is hot but there is also toxic yaoi

[wayward-sherlock]

i now understand mike wheeler on a deep atomic molecular level

[astramachina]

i get it. i finally get let's players circa 2014 when fnaf first dropped. i never watched them because all the screaming and yelling was annoying as fuck and i, a chill fella in 2024, really thought "well i'm gonna play through the game and prove that it can be played without acting over the top" and yeah okay. okay fine.

as someone whose fingers were shaking on the keyboard at 4am on night 5, only to lose the night three seconds before it was over and flew into a literal shouting rage? this is my formal apology to all youtubers from that era.

[mail-me-a-snail]

That feeling when you're moping your room while blasting videogame soundtracks through your headphones and the conclusive chapter for your fic gets finally figured out after having been sort of "there" but not quite fleshed out for MONTHS.
