What It Means to Be a Professional Watcher
Good morning, world. Today, I’m diving into what it truly means to be a professional watcher, someone who sees through the layers, the masks, and the roles people play. It’s not just about observing—it’s about understanding what lies beneath the surface. Think about Dr. Phil. You can tell him what to say, adjust your perspective on his show, and see how the stories play out, but it’s not the full…

comments on makeup critical posts will be the end of my sanity. “ive been doing my makeup since I was 11, not cause I felt like I had to, but because I felt more comfortable with it on” and why do you think you feel more comfortable with it on. why could that possibly be the case. have you ever thought about the reasons for anything in your life
#if u feel uncomfortable with ur natural face then guess what! u ARE being influenced by societal pressure & beauty standards#which is nothing 2 be ashamed of but u cant overcome it if u dont recognize it for what it is#anti beauty culture#ddd

i used to think i wasn’t like regulus at all but now that i’m writing him myself i see that he’s literally just a kid who had so many hopes and dreams that he overwhelmed himself and let everything else happening in the world take over what he wanted until it was too late and the only choices he had were ones he didn’t want
#regulus black#what i’m trying to say is that he’s me#and that au him who overcomes his fears and pressures is who i should try to be#marauders#regulus arcturus black

Will the poison drip through? (1. x, 2. x, 3. x, 4. x, 5. x, 6. x)
#i think the vibe of this one came out more positive than i intended. i do not think they will overcome ahkjdshfdl#this should be a portent of DOOM !#just all that history and weight a pressure and narratize bearing down on you and your teammate before hes even your teammate...#couldnt fit it obv but honarary section goes to oxleybom being like LMAOOO NO pecco doesnt want marc on his team#from like 3 months ago. my divas.#motogp#callie speaks#can you all hear me. do you understand me.#anways it’s like half past midnight i got possessed when the clock struck 12. forgive tag typos.

Well, while women, I see we have learned nothing yet again. As a fellow white woman who keeps yelling at you, I remain disappointed. The choice to prioritize potential power through the destruction of others in hopes it won’t be us remains high.
For those of us who did vote Democratic. Do not look at other subgroups to blame. As of the latest projections, which honestly I don’t want to trust, it’s 52% of white women who voted for him. 52%
We are one of the largest voting blocks in the US. Between 50-60 million annually. In many states a 5% margin could have been the difference, do you understand?
It’s time to stop avoiding the conversations and the elephants in the room. It’s time to face the fact that a lot of people who said they could support a Black woman publicly potentially couldn’t privately. As they said, your vote is secret, no one has to know. We’re all going down together, even if you think you’re Rose holding onto the door.
#us empire#us elections#I remain mad at everyone who pressured Biden to step down#because we remain too racist and misogynist to overcome both strikes#i hate it here

it is fucking tragic that i will never get to experience watching this show for the first time again
one of the best shows ive ever seen, loved the shit out of it. need to find a place where i can watch it again
this is one of the few pieces of media i am comfortable rating at an 8 or 9/10, up there with prince of egypt
#wakfu#thoughts#show opinions#god the opening is just so good#the entire show just fills my chest with like#i think wonderlust is the most accurate word for it#its like a pressure in my chest that i feel when i see images of places perfect for adventure#its like my heart is swelling to double the size at the thought of going on a hero's quest full of beautiful landscapes and wonder#its the same reason why zendikar rising is my favourite mtg set#god i wish i could be an adventurer#go on a quest of magic and danger with a small group of close friends#discover ancient secrets and overcome insurmountable foes#rpgs dont really sate it because it isnt really me doing it#i guess the closest real life equivalent would be living in a converted bus/van with friends#always on the move never in the same place twice

WAITTTTTT Now that I think about it, it isnt just Malleus who's re-enacting a similar situation as Meleanor during the present time (aka they're the powerful mage who uses their magic to "terrorize people" but actually just trying to protect the people they value), but its also Silver re-enacting as Knight of Dawn--!!! and no i dont mean when Silver finally battles against Malleus, i mean right now during this dream hopping arc, where the humans (STYX and all the NRC students) are using his magic to take down Malleus, much like how the Silver Owls exploited Dawn's magical prowess to kill Meleanor 💀✨
#idk its just disturbing to me since Silver really worked hard to overcome his comparison to Dawn#but hes being forced in a situation again where he has to take “Dawn's role”#but this time the outside factors are pressuring him#instead of just himself

thinking about "you have a life" / "i don't know what i have" + "what do you want, dana?" / "i want everything that i should want at this time of my life" + the perceived shame in scully's loss of normalcy... "unlike you, mulder, i would like to have a life" + "do you believe in the afterlife?" / "i'd settle for a life in this one" + "don't you ever want to just stop? get out of the damn car? settle down and live something approaching a normal life?"
her friend ellen saying, "well, first you have to get a life." tara, pregnant with their christmas gift, saying that life before one grew inside her was "somehow...less, just a prelude," while barren dana cries in the kitchen. "i know you and dad were...disappointed...that i chose the path that i'm on."
thinking about how mulder said, "this is a normal life," and how she smiled. (he doesn't know any different). how, in the end, he said, "hey, scully? i know it's not your normal life, but thanks for coming out there with me."
(christmas before quantico, "i guess i'm afraid of making a big mistake. dad thinks i am." and missy's response: "it's not his life, dana.")
her application to adopt emily was rejected: "you're a single woman who's never been married or had a long-term relationship. you're in a high stress, time intensive, and dangerous occupation."
bill's reaction: "sounds like something your partner would say. this isn't about any little girl, dana. this is about you. it's about some...void, some emptiness inside you that you're trying to fill."
and mulder to the judge: "the fact that she can adopt this child, her own flesh and blood, is something i don't feel i have the right to question, and i don't believe anyone has the right to stand in the way of."
(that last christmas with missy before everything: "there is no right or wrong. life is just a path...just don't mistake the path for what is really important in life. the people you're going to meet along the way. you don't know who you're going to meet when you join the FBI. you don't know how your life is going to change, or how you're going to change the life of others.")
and ultimately, it all leads to a leather couch. and after contemplating that sacrifice of normalcy, what she should want, the decisions she could have made, she says, "i once considered spending my whole life with this man...what i would have missed."
she could've been a doctor, like her father wanted. she could've settled down, married waterston, had a normal life, like her friends and brother wanted. but what would she have missed?
"what if there was only one choice and all the other ones were wrong?" / "and all the...choices would then lead to this very moment. one wrong turn, and...we wouldn't be sitting here together."
#i truly believe that what's made this show so lasting and rich to so many generations#is how completely in touch with raw human experience it always was. there was always this kind of bleak undertone of...this is how it is...#and very rarely was it ever overcome or accepted or boldly subverted. it just was.#the pressures and the grief and the traps of abuse and trauma and power structures. this is how it is. this is how it feels.#'people thought the storyline and characters for x-files made it a 'dark' show but i never saw it that way.#i always thought mulder and scully were the light in dark places.'#my favorite quote about the show and why i think it's so comforting. it's the harsh reality of the world#of which mulder and scully are not exempt#but it's also mulder and scully going wherever they are needed with their unending kindness and their perseverance and their passion#and they bring all of those things to each other too. that's why she chose THIS life. despite it NOT being normal.#despite it NOT being what her father wanted for her. despite it NOT being easy. she chooses it over and again#because he is bringing light to dark places and she wants to be where he is and she wants to be doing important work. she wants to be#'on the side of the victim'#and that's rarely supported by societal structures and it's hard. but like she says#what would she have missed??#txf.txt#you people make me crazy when you dismiss her decisions and act like she Ruined Her Life or mulder Ruined Her Life#congratulations! you've missed the point!#all things#emily#dreamland

Since the dental Tribble has been on a strict no kibble, no crunchy, no chewing diet. (In a week or so she'll be allowed to use her teeth again a bit more, but no one wants to see a dog get dry socket.) Spouse feels that canned dog food (perpetually on hand to make into pupsickles) is not experienced as filling enough, and we do know that Tribble has done better on grain inclusive foods for the past decade, so... the rice cooker has been simmering with chicken stock rice too bulk out the canned food all week, and Matilda and Benton have both gotten a fair bit of overflow rice as a treat.
Unconnectedly, tonight happens to be my first night alone as the sole human all evening in quite a few months. Matilda has been doing her job of enforcing bed, of course, but I can also rely on other humans to help make routine happen if she's too tired to be on it.
If I was worried that Tilly hadn't worked out her evening routine enforcement functions before now, I shouldn't have been. I don't think I've ever seen a dog so excited to move the evening along towards the part where dinner and the good cookies are.
#Matilda#australian cattle dog#1 year#the things I'm trying to achieve feel so embarrassing sometimes#like the complex and flexible but not too flexible pressure to do things that are good for me at intervals in the evenings#and yes yes yes it's just that old insecurity again#I grew up literally being told that the audhd was just my special burden to overcome in secrecy: the internalized stuff is not surprising#but it also means I'm watching her cues fairly carefully#and she's now completely reliable to alarmed tasks and mostly reliable to totally uncued pesterbot reminders#it's probably time to work on other grounding behaviors and really practice DPT more but I'm just really admiring my dog's progress so far#she had her first dog reactivity 2: building basic social skills class Tuesday and barely reacted to the five other dogs in class at all#by which I mean that she stared and leaned once#answered her leave it#and relaxed enough into counterconditioning to be rolling all over the floor and grinning delighted at me by the end of class#I'm beginning to see the shape of her grown self coming out#and I think I see why people are willing to go back and keep raising puppies from this breed of incredibly awful adolescences#it's a good shape. strong. very prone to getting distorted over a few generations if a breeder isn't keeping an eye on it#I can see what she's going to be like when she's put on some more emotional development#and I'm really beginning to look forward to it

Hey.
It's not like me to get serious, but I just want to put it out there that it's fine to say "no", alright? You can just do that. Like, to turn down an invitation to an event you don't wanna go to, or to keep something you like to yourself even if someone else really wants it, whatever.
Being selfish is fine, sometimes. 👍
#dialogue box 🗨🐍#Sorry. Just thinking about older days.#I used to be an angel. So I know all about feeling like you HAVE to be selfless all the time and sacrifice stuff for people.#You don't have to do anything you don't want to. Be true to yourself even under pressure! Overcome!#You can do it! 頑���って!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)ง✧#...Alright. Yeah; that's enough from me. Levi out ✌

It wasn't just the comic. It was also that lovely video you made. Like in some shots, even for a second, he genuinely smiles alongside Grett or he seems to look at Grett and Gabby with maybe envy? Or jealousy instead of outright hatred. Fascinating.
THE FUNNIEST THING ABOUT THAT SHOT OF GRETT AND GABBY IS THAT WHEN THE MOTEL EPISODE CAME OUT THERE'S A SHOT THAT'S JUST LIKE IT AND IT MADE ME SCREAM SOOO LOUD LIKE
JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR WHEN I SAW THIS ^^^^^
#For the record i never think yul loved grett like i dont think that was ever really a possibility in his mind#But i do think he envies her by this point in the series. Immensely#I think he likes to pretend he doesnt live under the shadow of societal and familial pressure. Maybe hes not even self aware that he does#But he does. and seeing grett overcome that and find friends and grow into her own and have her own hobbies and things she enjoys?#IT KILLS HIM!!! because he thinks HE DESERVES THAT!!!#But like. We know he doesnt. because he hasnt gone thorugh that self realization yet.#Maybe he will now that he's lost the only thing we know for sure he held in high regard? who knows

God, I trust you, but I'm struggling. I trust you, but I'm tired. I trust you, but I'm hurting. I know that I can do all things through You, but I also acknowledge that I'm human. I am susceptible to pain, pressures, and problems. I try with everything within me to give everything to You, so I ask that You give me the peace, understanding, and endurance to overcome it all.
