#Not sure what to make of this

[sweetiepie08]

You know, I can’t think of a historical figure with a weirder media legacy than Rasputin.

He’s known as a mystic who had influence in the last royal family of Russia. But he also has a famous disco song about him released 62 years after his death. And then 19 years after that, he’s the villain in an animated musical. And then 13 years after that, the disco song about him becomes known as a difficult song on a dancing video game and then after that becomes a popular TikTok song.

Woke up at 6am horrifically overheated and half fallen out of my loft, the only thought in my head being "magic users' powers increase inversely to the health of their body"

I'm sure this is useful for someone?

Interesting insight from my father reading the secret history for the first time

Tumblr did the thing

Hey y'all, quick question. Is anyone else getting really general comments on their ao3 works from generic names that seem very bot-like?

At first glance, the comments were nice, but they don't make a lot of sense in regards to the content (these were all on the recent Arcade angst oneshot I wrote) but if they're bots, I don't see the point in comments like these? Since there's no link or anything, and the accounts don't have anything on them from what I can tell. Idk, I'm just curious if anyone else is experiencing this at all, or if anyone knows what their purpose is.

she's singing in another room and my dog is asleep at my feet. my grandma asked me why i haven't found a man yet and i laughed. oh, you know. i like my house clean.

my girlfriend is also my man is also "my partner" if i'm in a professional setting. yesterday we went to a ren faire and a man mimed at me - you're together? and at my delighted nod, his baffled, you're gay? made me laugh. a woman with rainbow hair said i love the two of you together. you're both so beautiful it's absurd.

my dad introduced my partner as my "..... friend. or whatever" the other day. he knows we're dating. in the same way, i was never able to get my sister's husband to stop saying that's gay like it's 2008. he still uses the word fa***t, and my sister's defense of him has always been well, he's just kidding.

my lover and i dance to old music in a tiny kitchen. we judge new music together and take food critique very seriously. we watch love is blind before we fall asleep and agree that if they had a queer season, it would be bloody but also make for excellent tv. of fucking course queer people would know someone for only 2 weeks and agree to get married. what are you saying.

at a bar with friends, a man puts his hand on my wrist. got a boyfriend? and yes, i do have a boyfriend, she's amazing. i am texting her while i wander around a gas station named after geese. i am visiting a swing state for a wedding. in the candy aisle i overhear: she's actually like a lesbian it's disgusting. two teenage girls with packaged sandwiches in their hands, giggling. no literally, like. i'm not, like. okay with her being there while we're all, like, naked and changing.

my girlfriend and i tailgate, drink gin and cider out of cups. from the frat group beside us, a man corrects himself with one of his friends: bro, i mean, nonbinary entity, and it makes everyone around him laugh, myself included. he razzes his friend the same way i would have killed for at 19 years old - like nothing happened, he continues: you apply sunscreen like an alien. he does a little sassy (and fairly accurate) dance interpretation of the motion. his friend is laughing so hard they're crying.

i am lucky, i live in a safe neighborhood in a safe state. my masc passenger princess comes up from DC. i drive her for an hour to where all the leaves are a violent arrangement of color. we walk along the trails, letting autumn into our blood. in this part of the state, there's a lot of pickup trucks and trump signs. when we chastely kiss before getting into the car, i accidentally make eye contact with a woman holding her child's wrist. she looks disgusted. she looks fucking pissed.

two hours later my girl and i are eating dinner on a patio, soaking in the last warmth of new england sun before the chill of winter sets in. we are giggling and trying to talk through plastic vampire teeth. at another table, i see a young woman sit up straighter. i watch her watch us. she blushes and takes her partner's hand from across the table. shy, like the taste of evening has just become something deeper.

it's worth it for this moment, i think. my lover is still humming the same song she's been singing for four days straight and i don't want to kill her for it. her guitar is beside my bed. her toothbrush is in my bathroom. in a few moments i will make us lunch. we are lucky enough to have found each other. it is lucky enough to be in love.

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

Two halves of a broken truth, twisted and torn. It's almost amusing watching someone try to assemble a mirror that only reflects lies. The messy scribbles, the poor handwriting... Some things are meant to stay incomplete.

Not every piece belongs...? Are these pieces part of different puzzles, or am I just missing the connection? If anyone has any thoughts, I'm open to ideas. This feels like trying to read a book with half the pages torn out.
