#achilles is ponyo of course

[spineless-lobster]

Okay no because I wanna dissect nereid!achilles SO BAD!!! Like does he have 206 bones like a normal person? More? Less? Are they made of cartilage like a shark? Is he cold blooded? Would his blood be clear like a lobsters?

I love the different ways people portray him. Sometimes he’s straight up half fish, other times it’s purely instinct rather than looks, sometimes it’s an h2o just add water situation, other times it’s subtle differences like freaky eyes and sharp teeth and pointy ears.

Would be like a pretty tropical fish? A domesticated koi? A deep sea freak? Would be bioluminescent? Can he camouflage? Grow back limbs? Am I thinking too hard about this?

There’s endless possibilities!!!!

ok anon u opened this can of worms, now lie in it DJFKDJ

8. favorite fanfic trope?

like. mutual pining slowburn lots of drama -> dramatic love confession + happy ending

16. favorite love story?

oh god. um not to be gay but achilles and patroclus. also sookhee and hideko from the handmaiden. wang so and haesoo from scarlet heart! and of course lan wangji and wei wuxian of mdzs

of course, pride and prejudice as well... im a sucker for classics i have to say.

literally any ghibli movie that has a romance plot line like holy fuck they get it. the part in ponyo where sosuke says he’ll love ponyo no matter what form she takes???? peak romance. I’m crying in the corner.

also i know little women isn’t meant to be a romance at all, but greta gerwig’s adaptation of the scene with jo and freidrich, where she chases after him in the rain and is like, “I want you to stay!” and he goes “but jo, I have nothing! My hands are empty!” and jo takes his hands and says, “no, they’re not!” eye--please.

22. fictional crushes?

ella mentioned them today--sailor uranus DJDNSJ good lord um . currently watching my country, so like the three main characters from that; ooh both villainelle and eve from killing eve; aragorn will always have a special place in my heart HAHA... im kinda drawing a blank rn im sure tonight ill sit bolt upright in my bed and be like HOW COULD I FORGET [xyz] lol

not a very productive day, on terms of studying, but a good day :D

yesterday I finished reading "the song of achilles", so today I picked up "anne from green gables" to start (nevermind that I already have 2 other books to finish, one of which I've been stalling to finish for months).

attempted at making a book sleeve for the first time :D it turned out a little shabby, but cute nonetheless, I just have to practice more....plus I didn't have any interface and didn't feel like following an actual tutorial to make it look pretty and with precise finishes, so I used some other fabric I had to make it fluffier, and the finish is pretty ugly...

finished a free course on excel (basic level....the test was ridiculous, it covered stuff that was quite useless and that i obviously didn't memorize), but they didn't release my certificate yet (it's pretty automatic), so I'll have to contact them tomorrow.

made some buttery pasta to eat along with my mom's shrimp pie, and ate it while watching the new episode of "flower of evil".... plus I watched ponyo at night 🤩

It's been less than two weeks and I've already decided having a job is super exhausting T_T My posture is not very good so standing/walking around for 5-7 hours a day is very bad.. My back and leggies and feetsies hurt a lot :/

oh nooooo… well, the good news is, your body will adjust soon enough and it won’t be as sore in the future! ☀️ 

but, i gotta few recommendations for right now… 😉

♡ hot bath every night! you don’t need to buy fancy expensive bath bombs either, just get a big bag of epsom salts from the grocery store (or literally any other department store) and pour about a cup in… then, add some johnson’s lavender baby bath in! besides the fun bubbles it creates, the lavender is soothing — it’s no secret why lavender is the most popular essential oil! it works wonders for stress and soreness! ♨️🛁♡ drink green tea! i get a big package or bigelow green tea and have a big mug of it every night. it is inexpensive, relaxing, boosts the immune system and metabolism, a natural anti-inflammatory, and tastes pretty good! make sure you add splenda or a few sugarcubes or something though… especially if you aren’t used to drinking tea! turmeric, chamomile, and ginger teas are also good for this, but i find green tea to be the best tasting personally~ 🍵🍃

♡ drink warm milk with honey! i like vanilla almond milk with honey personally~ i got this idea from ponyo, and honestly, it’s delicious and a nice treat after a long day, and is just as relaxing! 🍼🍯♡ give yourself a massage! rub your leggies and feetsies with lotion… even if it hurts, it’s good for you! if you are super duper sore and depending on how strenuous your job is, put some ice on those muscles before the warm bath for about 5-10 minutes. you can also invest in stuff like icyhot to put on the sore muscles, preferably sleeping with it on so it sinks in! 👍🌹

♡ stretch / do yoga! stretching is so important after all that work… don’t let those muscles lock up! make sure the calves are stretched out especially, you don’t wanna wind up your achilles tendon and risk it snapping like a rubber band… if you don’t know how to stretch calves, just look up how “how to stretch calves” and it should pop right up! also, here’s some simple kids yoga you can try~ 💫🙏

♡ eat dark chocolate! what’s this? i’m actually telling you to eat sweets…? is this a dream? nope! dark chocolate is also a natural anti-inflammatory and has tons of health benefits if you pick the right kind~ you can put it in your warm milk, in oatmeal/hot cereal, or on a graham cracker if the taste by itself bothers you! or, you can just skip it of course, but i really like dark chocolate so i can’t resist recommending it! 🍫🎀

hopefully some of those are helpful ~ good luck with your job, sweetie pie, and i think you’re doing great! keep up the great work! ❤️
