My main takeaway from the new Lonely Island song is that Andy can pull off extreme colour coordination to a degree that only the main protagonists of Wes Anderson movies do and someone's gotta capitalise on that.
#look i'm happy schwartzmann got to be the lead again but if wes works best with anyone it's middle aged funny-sad comedians#we all saw palm springs#he can totally pull it off!!#wes anderson#andy samberg#the lonely island

Steve and Billy being landscaping rivals.
Billy has the lushest, most overflowing flower beds on the block. He also believes in letting his lawn grow wild and free to help the bees cross pollinate and thrive.
Steve is his neighbor, and he is a zealous minimalist. His beds are sparse. Accented with the most precisely carved shrubs and topiaries. He mows his lawn weekly. His edges are pristine.
Billy despises when Steve's lawn clippings get blown onto his precious spring buds, choking out their light. He's dumped his neighbor's moldy pile of sludge on his welcome mat. Steve didn't get the hint. Billy received a tangled mess of dandelions and assorted weeds on his own mat a few days later.
That evening Billy carved an asymmetrical line through the expertly manicured hedgerow dividing their properties.
War.

Forgot to introduce my pc for a skyrim campaign that my dear friend redd is running, Urzurza "Zuzu" gra-Ugdula, an orsimer fighter. She's a disaster lesbian, beefy as hell and has no idea how doors work.
She's a very honest person who values honour and bravery more than anything. Her new best friend? The biggest liar in all of Tamriel, Rorin Saelinaerith (who belongs to @cicerosfavouritelistener) <3
#Also forgot to mention that she's 19. A spring chicken#Rorin is 153. They're that one teenager/middle aged person duo at work#oc: urzurza#stellar.artz#my art

Your little friend gave me some insight, and I have decided you could use some sunscreen on that fair skin of yours. Sunburns and skin cancer are no joke! I wasn't sure if you liked the first quilt so I'm working on another... Shiranui-san suggested silvers and dark greens. Do you have any other colors you'd like? Oh! And I have some dried apples and apricots. He said you didn't like sweet things which is an absolute shame, bless your heart... but I hope the fruit is alright!
Hi again, Oba-san. I'm usually covered up enough not to need sunscreen, but again, thank you for your consideration.
The first quilt was... I'm sorry I didn't thank you for it properly last time, I was a bit out of it. You really didn't have to go to Genma about colors, of all things. The quilt was good. Great, even. There's no need for another. And this fruit— I can't possibly take it. I'm feeding myself just fine, so please, there's no need for all this fuss.

will zero finally go back to school... stay tuned and find out
#not to keep using this blog as a diary but ANYWAYS#so got confirmation i'm basically in the middle exit phase so my last day will probably be in mid-december#which is actually really good timing all things considered#so i can either plan to get a new job at the beginning of the new year OR think about going back to school#starting during spring is kind of awkward so unless I find a really good situation i'd probably go for fall of 2024#tuition is obviously something i have to think hard about since i'm also balancing a mortgage... but the benefit of me doing nothing but#work my ass off for the last 4 years is that i do have the money saved. like unless i go to a super prestigious school i can most likely#afford it on my own. ofc the question is am i willing to spend it all for a degree that might not even be of any benefit to me. who knows#i also don't even know what i'd go back for. it wouldn't be pure CS but probably something adjacent or bio-related#another reason I want to go back to school is honestly for social reasons. networking and finding new friends#i'm not the most outgoing person but in an academic environment i was infinitely better at socializing than I am now lmao#and sharing classes with folks will definitely help. i'd definitely pick up TAing again as well if possible#i also talked with my manager a bit about this and he was also like yeah at your age and situation now is actually a really good time#anyways. we shall see#0.txt

Not WF related but who the fuck thought Summer was a good season?!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no-
We're NOT going to act like this summer is different, or that it will be "magical", or "relaxing", let alone ENJOYABLE-
When spring comes around, I don't wanna see ANYONE acting like Summer is going to be a great time.
It's gonna be what it always is: A heatstroke inducing hellscape.
Fuck the sun, and its smothering heat.
#not really warframe#summer time#summer aesthetic#summer fun#spring 2023#“tHe trEEs aRE PiNk”#yeah... for like a week...#before they die and their petals quickly become brown and half rotten#flying around in the breeze to never be seen again until next year#summer is horrible#and the sun doesn't deserve all the love and adoration it gets#where the love for the fucking moon?!#or night time?#it just doesn't make sense to me#we're not in middle ages Europe let's move on

about to cry looking at these photos of roman mosaics....
#no bc it's something about the mosaics that get me compared to statues/busts/etc.#something about the colors and the fact that these artists managed to get somethingto spring to life so masterfully out of literally just#stones on a flat surface.#and the intimacy of some of these mosaics just literally being in like. someone's house or palace#people walked by these random scenes from mythology every day. ate slept lived night next to them.#and because some wall happened to fall the right way or because some structure managed to survive we get to look at it too#just real art that's not insanely unattainable the way that statues are. and not too distant and unrealistic the way some really old art can#be#(at least to me)#just. people making and appreciating beautiful art. only 2000 years ago#shaking crying throwing up....#the art that moves me is always so specific. it's like. this and medieval christian art lmao#anyway im researching this for the writing project i'm working on. which is alt history fantasy in a world that is wayy more influenced by#antiquity (sorry middle ages i love u <3)#very self indulgent of me but sometimes So painful

the closest I’ve gotten to coming out to my parents was about 7 years ago when my mum asked if I was into guys and I said no, and then asked if that meant I was into girls and I said no, but like…..I am and have always been visibly queer/gnc so my family knows they just don’t know y’know?
today, while I was working, mum asked if I had a secret boyfriend, no, or a girlfriend, no, and then got sad and said she doesn’t want me to be alone lmao like I very much appreciate the support but I have told her countless times I’m happy tyvm
#she does this EVERY time i’m home#always tries to spring it on me when I least suspect it#I will say that first convo happened with like 3 of her sisters in the room#so forgive me for not explicitly coming out to a bunch of middle aged white conservatives#even as it was I got the ‘late bloomer’ talk and decided I’d heard enough#my brothers have also asked boyfriend? girlfriend? like this a couple of times hahahahahahah#it’s a fun game I play where they never ask what I am so I never tell them#anyway I have wonderful amazing friends and don’t need a relationship for my life to be fulfilling ✌🏼✌🏼#georgia speaks#ace tag

God this sucks man. Watching your mental stability just slip away. I get glimpses of what I used to have then its gone.
And the worst part is that I can’t communicate it. And if I could idk if I would absorb any advice given.
#shut up ray#sometimes i go ‘maybe its just cos its winter and winter is dark and cold and stressful’#then i remember the repeated breakdowns i had in the spring and summer#then i think ‘maybe i should start taking meds again’ then i remember AGAIN those exact breakdowns i was having while MEDICATED#and go ‘ah..’#i saw my friend on monday#and she gave me this long pep talk abt shit#i didnt have the heart to tell her she was making shit up abt me just so she could tell me its not a problem#im not insecure i have severe mental problems#i have a chronic illness that is tied to those problems in a big tangled up fucking web#and i constantly feel like im doing a balancing act w/ 50 fucking spinning plates#and sometimes i will just have these undignified meltdowns#and when im not doing that im thinking horrible things abt ppl who care abt me#im not your helpless little introvert friend#im fucking broken and getting worse w/ each pssing year#i dont date because im full of hatred not because im insecure abt my looks or some shit#and as w/ every Christmas im gonna fucking sulk in my room cos i just cant handle this shit#when did this time of yr become such a horror show#i used to feel joy abt things#like joy that lasted longer than a few seconds#now its just all anger and bitterness and hatred and just this#giant black hole where my heart used to be#im not gonna make it to middle age… im gonna go out the same way my step-dad did#full of so much fucking hatred my heart explodes and im just alone because I pushed everyone away

Stay gold
Today I went with my family to take in the fall foiliage. We took metro north to Cold Spring and took a walk along the Hudson and in a nearby park. It was unseasonably warm day, like so many October days recently. The colors of the trees on the way up on the train were so beautiful.
Taking in nature with family felt very grounding. There's so much uncertainty in life and the world right now it was nice to take the day and be together. Stopping to see the beautiful colors of the trees and getting lost in the wonders. I found that I loved golden trees the most.
I don't know why and I never thought it before tonight, but looking up on a beautiful day at a golden tree felt like happiness. Like sun reflected in something living in front of you - a golden tree. At some point today I was in just a tshirt with my eyes closed enjoying the sunlight. I want to believe I'm like the golden tree standing tall on a fall day - Enduring change majestically. I really do want to endure the change of life majestically, proudly, bravely, truthfully, humbly. I don't think I thought a lot about how I would grow old when I was younger, but now I'm finding I'd wish I'd thought about it sooner - but I guess that's youth. Maybe I'm getting too lost in thought for a simple day enjoying the changing leaves - but my mom said we should make this a tradition every year to enjoy nature so I'm going to take this moment, this day, and stay gold and strong.
