#Refutation of time

[artoile]

I know I haven't updated Refutation of Time in well over a year but every time I listen to this song I can't stop thinking about how I've written hakuba in that story Q_Q I WILL FINISH THIS FIC ONE DAY. IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO.

There's some inherent tragic horror in the fact that Simon canonically doesn't remember much of what he did as Ice King, just 'dreamlike impressions'. I imagine he remembers people, certain significant moments but otherwise it's kind of a blur. Simon is over a thousand years old but he barely remembers any of it. Not to mention the non-magical human brain isn't built to contain so much memory so any attempts to recall could be dangerous for him.

Imagine how terrible it is to be told a story of yourself acting strange and manic and pathetic and terrible and there's no internal context for it. It may as well have happened to someone else in a dream but its the personality and actions most people know you by. Simon hears an outrageous story of Ice King and who knows if it's real or not? He barely knows who the man was.

Me: -sigh-

Sakura: JEEZUS WTF WAS THAT

The number of people who are convinced snakes are deaf and will try to argue with me talking to them is pointless baffles me. Stuff like this happens daily.

As many of you know Sakura is a little jumpy at even the smallest thing. I had a very busy weekend, and this is going to be a very long (under staffed) week. All I did was sigh and it startled her into fleeing. At first I didn't realize what scared her, then realized it had to be the quiet unfamiliar sound I made. She's not looking at me, and I'm not moving so she isn't reacting to any visual or physical stimulus. I'm not blowing on her, a sigh like that is done with a wide open mouth not "blowing" shaped lips, so you'd need your hand directly in front of your mouth to feel it. My face was at least two feet away, you can't feel air movement from that mouth shape more than six inches if you test it out.

Yet so many people, including well known breeders and at least one big well known snake YouTube channel insist they are deaf and at most can only feel deep bassy sounds.

But that's a pretty soft light sound. So either snakes can hear... or they are psychic.

Another interesting thing is when I talk to her she starts calming down, I wouldn't be surprised if she recognizes the sound, "You're okay" as I often say this to calm them. Both find my voice calming and comforting that they are safe. They rarely hood up anymore, but on the rare occasion they do, if I talk calmly and sweetly to them they pretty much immediately relax and that hood melts away.

i keep thinking about the "belgian scam ring" conspiracy because it think it betrays a misunderstanding of how internet scams work.

like, the majority of scammers don't really spend their time carefully maintaining a story? they're often low effort by design. i got a series of spam emails recently telling me they'd recorded me masturbating through my webcam and i need to give them bitcoin or they'd send the footage to all my contacts. my webcam is never plugged in and i have no email contacts, i know that's bullshit, but it doesn't matter because i imagine they're sending that same email to a thousand people, and statistically at least one of them will fall for it. it's the same with the classic nigerian prince style emails, or the 'my cat is sick' posts from near-empty blogs with stolen photos. there's just not much point crafting a story to cover your ass when a half assed one will catch a few easy marks.

so seeing some users peddle the idea that the majority of palestinian gofundmes are fake and everyone who verifies them is actually in on it is like... farfetched? or at least it would be a logistical nightmare. i'm not gonna say high effort, organised scams have never existed, and i'm not gonna begrudge people for being cautious with their funds. but at some point the reality you have to construct is so convoluted that i can only assume it's just an excuse to avoid saying that you don't want to donate to people. and that's your choice, but at least be honest about it, because trying to discredit fundraisers based on flimsy evidence is doing tangible damage in the real world.

I see there's posts floating around directly and blatantly arguing against mine (same wording) by completely misunderstanding what I said. I'm fucking BACK, babey. Should've bought some hay-scented fragrance while I was at Sephora today, because I am once again your strawman!

LOL. This man is calling My Lady Ludlow "a beautiful idyll" "in the same vein" of Cranford and Wives and Daughters. LMAO.

I love how when Christians get called out by using the Bible against em they just say you don't understand the Bible instead of actually refuting anything or explaining why the Bible doesn't actually mean what the Bible says. The critics seem to have way more understanding of your holy text than any of you do.

Lol you wish

"if they don’t tell me explicitly that mike was never attracted to el then that means he was"

[removes hands while kissing]

[unresponsive to kiss & "i love you," eyes wide open]

[the sunglasses stay on during kiss, also get off me you're crushing the flowers i carefully placed right in between us]

[no fear]

[one fear]

"idk if they don’t make it clear to me that he doesn’t love el romantically then that means he does"

"they haven't given any indication yet that he doesn't like girls..."

"yeah, mike has definitely shown attraction to girls"

I am absolutely obsessed with how in every single interview Ryan managed to shut down whatever new nonsense is being peddled about him/Eddie by certain fans. 😂

He just says the exact right thing. It's amazing. It's getting harder to believe he's not out here on eddiebuddieblr and keeps up with what he needs to refute and how to keep us happy skpskspakapakapa

I can't believe we're really doing biden vs trump again
