#but still... good hack

Continuing the coffee discourse though: I'm pet sitting for a friend and therefore woefully estranged from my dear espresso pot (which makes the best coffee in the world) and someone in the poll comments mentioned adding cinnamon to the grounds when making drip coffee and... my god. Finally, drip coffee that doesn't bring to mind dirty dishwater and depression. I am a changed woman.

Like, not every queer person feels like they arrive into existence with an attraction to, like, a specific kind of person, and that's okay too.

the fact that the archheart took selena because he loved her and wanted to give her peace, and in the process left her suspended in an eternal static torment because he doesn't understand how something as fragile as a mortal soul works feels like a summary of the good intentions/bad long term outcome situation with godly soul custody. it makes sense that the gods would end up keeping some of their special followers! the first mortals to get in tight with the gods probably asked for it! the ego death of proper reincarnation is terrifying compared to staying up late hanging out with your buddy pelor. asmodeus and the hells aren't being half as kind about it yet the core motive remains—that hoarding instinct to keep what you love(or hate) and never let it go.

but you and i aren’t meant to be eternal. the kryn use anamnesis to ensure the continuity of self through endless lifetimes and they’re still losing themselves to it. selena was turned into a nighmarish human-faced star because the god she made out of metal thought that they could understand each other and she hung there in his domain burning, her last wish forever repeating on her lips, for a thousand years until he could release her. mortals don’t want to fully die and gods don’t want to let them go but nobody can stay in their frozen crystalline palace of eternity forever. eventually everything in the Real gets to change.

it’s wild that riordan could have so much time to think about this rewrite and how he would build his world in a tv show and all he seems to have done is make it worse

nick and gloria have both had pretty rough rides to get to where they are in dead man talking (brain transplant from a guy who'd go on to shoot himself + waking up in the junk and missing his) (the nuclear apocalypse killing her whole family + dooming her to a protracted death on account of the lack of suitable medical care) which means they have pitch black bits only they find funny and horrify everybody else. a recurring one is if either gets mildly, i mean MILDLY injured they do a dying swan act. nick has a single wire fray in his wrist and says gloria....... look...... if anything ever happens to me, please....... for christ's sakes never move on. and they both start cracking the fuck up

at dis point when i hear about a game i like coming to the switch (very rare occurrence) my only thoughts are damn thats going to be really awesome to play once the switch is old enough to be hackable with little to no consequence like the 3ds

Ok so I had another dream about joker out and I wanted to share it, this won’t be a regular thing I just thought it was a cool dream

So kris and Bojan had a another Damon photoshoot together and like kris had really cool wings on and like a white button up shirt that was like only done up halfway and trousers that were like really fucking tight in the ass but like looser at the bottom that were also white and the pictures of him with the wings on on he was alone and there were some with out them alone too, like in a tree for some reason and just crouching in a field

then Bojan had some pictures alone where he was in the same thing but all black and no wings but he had like a crown and some of the pictures he was lying down in grass like some of the other Damon ones

^like these ones just the fact he’s lying down is the similarity

and others he was like leaning on brick walls outside looking hot as fuck and kind of like the guys at the start of west side story 

Then in the ones together they both had crowns on and in the same black and white clothes and they had some lying in the grass together and in one of them kris had Bojan against the wall but he was kind of beside him rather than like it looking like they were about to kiss or something 

 and kris posted them and THE FUCKING CAPTION said something about like “my love” or “love of my life” or something equally as gay and then tumblr just exploded, everyone lost their collective shit

This evening I was so tired I dozed off fully clothed next to my son on his bed while reading a bedtime story. I woke up disoriented about 20mins ago and remembered that Šta Bih Ja was out at midnight. Now we're both awake, sitting on his bed and listening to it on loop, life is good

my pieces got accepted to the local museum ! i was quite sure they'd been rejected because i was supposed to hear back over 2 weeks ago, but i guess there were just time issues. am very happy about this !

Tangentially related to some of the discussion i posted earlier but quiet literally the first RW Art Month i participated I did it completely on whim like, one day before it started. And I mostly did it because I hadn't drawn a ton of rain world and wanted to draw more. Fandom presence was a lot smaller than and I was one of a handful of artists who did the entire thing. Fast forward and I still do Art Month and I've gotten to work with VC directly. But it was quite literally something I decided to do completely on whim that set the ball rolling, and for something a lil more niche and certainly with a lot more dev/fandom art involvement than most. It's really random how and why you might get noticed more than usual, especially with the "toss it into the search and hope it pays out' mechanism of Socmed

If you want to know why fic authors beg so desperately for comments, here's why; I just ran the numbers on what percentage of comments to kudos my more recent works have gotten (only going as far back as 2020, so TRP isn't being included) and the average is about 5.2%.

The absolute best ratio was a fic I posted (under a different name, if you're wondering why you haven't seen it) that had 12.5%. The majority of them were under 10%.

So, even being the most generous and looking at the fic with the highest percent, less than a FIFTH of people who read and liked it left a comment.

I get it, I'm guilty of it too sometimes, it can be hard to remember to leave comments or know what to say, but here's your reminder from a fic author that even just a 'this was great!' comment will really mean a lot.
