#Not a lot of exciting stuff happening today

So it turns out Maika Monroe was at the Governors Awards and this is a good thing. It's nice to see her at stuff but in general getting recognition because I think she's a really good actress. Really good in a way that might be hard to parse for people who have only seen her in one thing because it isn't always clear how much of a role someone is playing in just one thing. Anyway, I think she's great and she was on my mind because my friend @wildflagsure watched Longlegs last week and I was excited for her take because somehow one of the best horror movies of the year became very divisive right after coming out. Largely a debate on if it is scary or not (and thus is it a horror movie or not). Horror is the one genre that deals with this, no one ever declared Pauly Shore movies to not be comedies because they didn't find them funny but horror gets this from all sides as people who don't like horror are desperate to tell you why a horror movie they liked and think is good isn't horror because they don't like horror and then you have the horror hounds who will declare things not scary and thus not horror when they have watched 100 horror movies a year for a quarter century and thus find nothing scary anymore. My favorite comment I saw on Longlegs was, "It's not a horror movie because it never even tries to be scary. You just feel dread the entire movie waiting for something to happen". Ah yes, intense dread… not a horror movie. Anyway, I was worried I might not be able to respect @wildflagsure anymore because she already has some pretty problematic takes on beans (she calls them yuck nuggets and satanic mush pellets which feels very performative because it's way more letters than beans but English isn't her first language so maybe it's just a bad translation. Either way she's wrong, legumes of all shapes and sizes are versatile, healthy, and tasty and really can add a lot to many dishes. They are kind of wonder foods). But she liked Longlegs. Also told me it wasn't really scary but I am going to call her out because she had to stop in the middle for a day because it was stressing her out so… seems like bullshit on the scary front. She also showed it to a friend who liked it. Anyway, it has me eager to rewatch it, though I am waiting for my 4K version to arrive. All of this to say I am glad to see Maika Monroe and wish her all the best in her career (that It Follows sequel is still rumored). Today I want to fuck Maika Monroe.

The gang at Arwell continue to pull their weight while staying at a comfortable distance.
Mechi doesn't let his studying get interrupted by things that are definitely not bad omens.
He studied so much that he figured out how to switch off the twisted obelisk! However, we don't have enough archotech shards to do it, so it can stay put for now. That's fine. It doesn't hurt anyone so long as we keep it suppressed. Plus, it's a kind of cool, edgy decoration—if we're lucky, it might even scare visitors (ugh) away!
We finish with Mechi being easily swindled by small children with sob stories about their younger siblings. Again.

Time was at a standstill. Vegas was holding his breath without noticing, and continued to hold it when he did - he was afraid of what would happen if he exhaled loudly enough to draw attention to himself. His gaze was shifting between Pete and the man who was standing before them in the doorway, blocking their entrance. Vegas had never seen him before, but even so, he recognized Pete in him enough to know who he was. A dangerous aura surrounded him. There was an edge to his presence that Vegas would only come across people of certain circles. He was a fighter. A muay khao. Pete's father. Shame coursed through Vegas' body, smearing his skin, settling in his lungs, rendering him speechless. I thought he was dead, he wanted to tell Pete if he could. He wanted to scream at him, I thought you killed him. Pete was the one who broke the stillness. As if awakened by something, he took a half-step back and made a motion with his arms, almost raising them to his chest, but not quite. In an instant, Pete reverted into the pet Vegas had been keeping at the safehouse, bound by handcuffs and afraid of his belt hitting flesh and drawing blood. A lump formed in Vegas' throat. "Have you stopped practicing? Your form is off." The uncanny similarities between Pete and his father appearance-wise didn't mean a thing when it came to their voices. Vegas shivered. Was this what Pete would sound like in a few decades? (Were these the condescending words he'd choose to spew? Was Pete going to embody his father? Was Vegas embodying his?) "What are you doing here?" Pete whispered. "They let me out for a few days, so I came here to collect some money. Imagine my surprise when I found out my offspring left the job someone found him worthy enough of doing to... do what exactly? Yaai didn't want to tell me." He crossed his arms, waiting for an answer. Vegas didn't know what he was allowed to say. If he was allowed to say anything at all. "It's none of your business." "I'd say it very much is my business, as well as yaai's business who was dependent on the money you were making being some rich asshole's human shield." A choked sound scratched Vegas' throat. He didn't like getting reminded of Pete being the main family's bodyguard, even though he stopped being one mere months ago. Especially like this. That was the first time Pete's father stopped looking at his son and turned his head to look at Vegas. For a moment, there seemed to be recognition in his eyes. Did he know who Vegas was? Did he care? A snort came out of his mouth. He leaned on the door. "Oh, I see how it is." He laughed, scratched his neck. "I never expected you to whore yourself out for money. Tell me, is it preferable to the path I carved out for you?" Vegas could sense the disgust in his voice. He could also see it on Pete's face. He was too astonished to share it, but not enough to be unable to speak. "Khun, there has been some misunderstanding-" "Don't bother. I can recognize a faggot when I see one." Pete's movements were too fast for Vegas to stop him. A direct jab to the nose; his father fell like a pack of cards, groaning like a wounded animal. Surprisingly, no blood - Pete held back. Vegas didn't know what to think about that. "That was a pathetic attack, even for you." "Get up." "We're not in the ring, son." Pete growled. Vegas could see his hands trembling as he was keeping them in the air, maintaining an offensive stance. "That never stopped you before." "You were too young to understand what I was doing back then. What I was preparing you for." Pete was silent. "The world isn't kind. It'll fuck you over one way or another." He got up, spat on the ground. "You still haven't learned a thing. You're too old to afford being naive." He turned around, and without sparing a look at Pete again, said: "Now get the fuck out of my house." (For @musictooth, whose posts about Pete's father have reignited my passion for this specific concept and for @wretchedamaranth, whose comments on my writing are always lovely and precious ❤️)
#tw slur#vegaspete#pete saengtham#snippet#yu is writing#I started writing this today while waiting for my bus to arrive and wrote most of it on public transport <33#(hopefully it doesn't show lol)#there's a lot of context missing here but basically: VP visit yaai and a wild father appears#I didn't have space to include her unfortunately but just imagine her in the background with a sad look on her face#which is mostly fixed on Vegas :))#for no reason at all :))#due to a certain someone who I won't name (😤) I mayyy turn this into a fic? Maybe?#because 1. I did have a similar idea a year or so ago but never did anything with it and 2. this concept NEEDS to be explored more come on#because in my mind Vegas and Pete can't go to yaai's house until/unless Pete's father leaves#all their stuff is in her house#and they only have Vegas' car with which they traveled there#and Bangkok is too far away to go back now in the middle of the night (yes this happens at night time)#so basically what I'm saying is: VP will spend their night in the car :)#I'm sure the combination of an agitated Pete and a tired Vegas who's also equating Pete with his father due to their external similarities#will be a delightful experience for them both#I'm vibrating out of my skin just thinking about it#can I promise I'll write it and put it out there? Hell no#can I still get excited by the prospect of it happening? Hell yes#sorry I'm rambling a little too much over here#I just haven't felt this good writing in MONTHS#thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it <3333

The more I learn about Civil War politics, the more I'm convinced that Lincoln's most impressive and useful leadership trait was that he never let his pride get in the way of doing his job.
Other people in Lincoln's position would have come to Washington with something to prove. They'd have resented the insults and tried to disprove them. They'd have tried to seize power and credit, rejected help, spent a lot of time trying to reach a certain level of respect.
Lincoln's response to, "You're just a backwoods lawyer with no executive experience who makes too many dumb jokes," was pretty much always, "Yeah. And?" He had no interest in petty personal power plays. He had a country to run. There was a war on. It didn't matter what people thought of him so long as the job got done.
He was aware of his personal shortcomings and was always willing to accept advice and help from people who had more knowledge and experience in certain areas. He presided over a chaotic Cabinet full of abrasive personalities who thought they were better and smarter than him, but he kept working with them because they could get the job done. For example: Stanton was absolutely horrible to him when they were both working as lawyers. Just incredibly mean on a personal level. But when Lincoln needed someone to replace Cameron, he swallowed his pride and appointed Stanton as Secretary of War, where Stanton proceeded to be mean to everyone in the world, but he whipped that department into shape and kept it running efficiently through a very chaotic war. Pretty much no one except Lincoln would have been able to put up with that. He could put up with people who were personally difficult if they could do the job he needed them to do--which he was only able to do because his own ego didn't get in the way.
Lincoln's example is a prime demonstration of how humility isn't underrating yourself--it's being so secure in your own abilities and identity that you don't need to attack anyone or defend yourself to prove your worth. He knew his shortcomings, but he also knew his strengths. He was willing to give other people credit for successes and take blame upon himself for failures if it kept things running smoothly. He was secure enough in his own power that he could deal generously--but firmly--with people who tried to undermine him. In a city full of huge egos, in a profession that rewards puffed-up pride, that levelheaded humility is an extremely rare trait--which is what made it so impressive and effective.
#history is awesome#presidential talk#so i went to a teeny backwater thrift store today#their tiny history book section just happened to have an old lincoln biography#i opened to the page about the cabinet#which describes the situation like 'seward was calling himself premier and lording it over everyone'#'blair was causing problems everywhere'#'welles was insulting everyone in his diary and especially hated stanton grant and seward'#'and stanton hated absolutely everyone in the whole wide world'#and as i was reading this i was internally kicking my legs with excitement and cackling with glee because this is the good stuff#i don't know why but i love these horrible petty men#they're like a bunch of raccoons fighting over territory in a dumpster fire it's so great#i read the whole chapter right there in the store#and it impressed upon me yet again how impressive lincoln was to put up with all these guys#(the writer was a bit simplistic and made a lot of these guys come off as worse than they were)#(like he made seward sound like a complete incompetent when he was a pretty good secretary of state)#(he had some grandiose ideas but the man deserves a lot of credit for keeping england out of the war)#(but for a one-chapter summary of these guys it wasn't exactly wrong and it was a ton of fun)#i very much did not want another book especially another american history book#but it was only fifty cents and i have a pouch full of spare change#and the writer's style was so much fun that i decided to take the book with me#i don't plan to read the whole thing (i'm sick of lincoln bios) but it's fun to dip into for things like this#and i had to talk to you about it

Saturday Six (Stuff)
Hi, hi I have done one of these in a while. Sorry. I just felt like I haven't had much to talk about, or I've been busy with the Farmer's Market. But here we go!
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
@astutesnow'gf has been here since the 6th. At first she was going to stay until the 12th (I thought), then I guess she told her mom the 17th so, yeah. No worries. I love having her her. Too bad our house is too small for it to be permanent. (´ ▽`).。o♡
I have started to do food blogging on on my Instagram! I've done two posts already, here, and here. Check them out if you'd like.“ψ(`∇´)ψ
Business has been slowwww. Only one project last week. Not good.Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
My vegetable plants are looking good! Hopefully the veggies will be great!(❁´▽`❁)*✲゚*
The kittehs are all doing well. Reggie out there catching rodents, thanks to our terrible neighbor. And Leeloo will already be a year old next month!₍˄ุ.͡˳̫.˄ุ₎ฅ˒˒
I fear it's going to be an interesting Father's day tomorrow what with two trans girls in attendance at a very misogynistic & homophobic man's house. I guess we'll see what happens. Oh, not to mention the terrible meal plan of: grocery store oven baked chicken, mom's Miracle Whip macaroni salad, possibly burnt air fried tator tots, & old, out of the freezer brownies with plain vanilla ice cream. Whoooo...(ᅌᴗᅌ* )
#Saturday Six#June 15 2024#About me#Personal#Please do not rebloggle#Carey rambles about life and stuff and things and we're all so not excited about going to dad's but ehhh it is what it is#Otherwise not a whole lot happening#Last week's market was boring as shit - literally hardly any people#Anyway life goes on#I'm living the dream ya know#Today were going thrift shopping and garage sailing whoop whoop#Got twenty dollars in my pocket lol#I hope you all have a great day or night wherever you are in the world#I appreciate y'all reading my nonsensical rambles whenever I post them here#Hugsss from mom or just a friend whatever you need right now because I know I need hugsss too!٩(๑•◡-๑)۶ⒽⓤⒼ❤💜💙💚💛❤️💗💕#Now back to your regularly scheduled scrolling

365 Days of Writing Prompts: Day 210
Adjective: Scarce
Noun: Miracle
Definitions for those who need/want them:
Scarce: (especially of food, money, or some other resource) insufficient for the demand; occurring in small numbers or quantities, or rare
Miracle: a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency; a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences; an amazing product or achievement, or an outstanding example of something
#im rather late again and i apologise#the explanation once again is that i accidentally fell asleep before i could type all of this up#we had a big day today#specifically we went out with my parents and did a bit of shopping and got lots of cool stuff for ourselves and others#(gifts for my best friend and my gfs sister as well as for my secret santa for my works upcoming christmas in august)#im really excited about all the books we got#which includes an ebook im currently reading cos i like it so much (how high we go in the dark by sequoia nagamatsu)#also i didnt mention this in yesterdays little diary entry cos i was so focussed on my work-related stuff#but my gf and i started rewatching good omens yesterday so we can watch the new season (i think this is my eighth time watching season one)#anyway this prompt to me initially comes across as sad or desolate#but the more i think about it the more it strikes me as an opportunity to explore the wonder and joy of when a 'miracle' does happen#cos it is 'scarce' and thus a rare occurence#so im excited to write something along those lines#thanks for reading#writing#writer#creative writing#writing prompt#writeblr#trying to be a writeblr at least
