#cool things when we were young

She really enjoyed it too! Said it was used as a hair piece, ornament, and what kids these days refer to it as, "fidget toys"...👵🏼 Stored it away in her dresser to one day show her grandchildren.

A hundred years later, these have finally found their moment in the world! All my handmade wire mandalas are available on Etsy:

I have more reasons but I don’t have the energy to write them right now.

But yeah, I’ve been thinking about what I’d be if I were in Faas and Enya’s universe and I thought I’d be a changeling as well for a while for many reasons, but upon further consideration I think I was wrong. So here’s the first concept art for a my avian persona.

As for the songs (which was one of the main influences on why I started thinking about avians because I realized that over the last six months the majority of songs I’ve been obsessed with have bird centric undertones at the very least) you can find them here

actually stunned by how gay The Beatles has been all this time and I just never knew

one of my best friends is about to have a baby today........... so weird to be on the periphery of something so life changing. I want to go "life is going to change forever" as if it hasn't already

I actually think about lip and brad a lot. Everyone in Brad's life had given up on him and then the most stubborn annoying 20 yr old you've ever met who's got more grief stored in his 5'4" body than one man should carry comes along and decides he's worth something. That he's worth everything. And nothing Brad can do will drive Lip away, and Lip spends days hunting him down. Lip does what Lip does best and throws himself completely into a person, except this time it doesn't end catastrophically. And Brad was the person who Lip went to when his mom died and when he relapsed. And Brad gave our neurodivergent king his first figit toy. And Brad makes Lip his best man and gives him a job and fucking purpose. "If Brad can't make it how am I supposed to make it"

I think the real reason everyone wrote about their superpowered ocs in some kind of experiment facility when they were younger was that A: It was cool and edgy as hell to everyone writing them, but also B: It gave those writers the space to explore the unique powers and abilities they gave their ocs in a literal confined space. Writing about werewolves and aliens and superheros is all fun and delightful, but what if you could flesh them out with how they work and operate under specific conditions. Couple that with a suffocating setting with a built-in plot trajectory (escape), and you have an easy shortcut into giving your ocs a story to pair with their characters. This works with all ocs too. Demons/Angels? Yes. Mermaids? Yep! Faeries? Go right ahead. Vampires? Right for the picking. Any human with 1 weird thing about them? Go for it! Writers have always loved poking their characters with sticks and seeing how they react. It's no wonder that an entire plot structure of evil scientists and research assistants doing the exact same thing would be so unintentionally popular among young writers.

One of the many hills I’ll die on is my defense of the Girl Scouts if you hear the “girl” in Girl Scouts and immediately assume “well, clearly all they’re teaching them is how to bake cookies and manage a household and become a good wife and mother who stays home and cooks and cleans” then that shits on you yeah some troops aren’t going to be as good as others it all depends on the leadership and resources available but that doesn’t negate the fact that at it’s core it is there to teach young girls valuable skills and it can provide unique opportunities and a nice community for people who may need it

my god churro is the lone woman performing amid a bunch of men saturday night

what a brave girl! ugh i’m so proud of her and also fuckin terrified that i’ll hate the set. it’s supposed to be edgy humor, so i’ll just brace myself to expect what i hear from josh on the regular, i guess. but churro also said she was doing a couple jokes about our grandfather (the bad one), and frankly THAT makes me worried about how i’ll respond to someone making jokes about… about what? what he did? the trial? my god, charity was just a little baby when all of that happened.

i want tomorrow night to be about her, though, not about how i feel about someone making light of an ordeal that tore our family apart and hurt so many people i love— including churro— you know? so, like, while i was definitely encouraged to only ever look upon that issue with the utmost seriousness (you have to be serious if you’re testifying in a criminal trial, uh, helloooo), i will do my best to have a sense of humor about it

Dealing with bs at work while also rewatching Steven Universe and on my way to work I keep listening to Here Come A Thought and Stronger Than You and when I get to work keep humming both songs and singing them when on my forklift and honestly it's helped.

oh sick! I love Frankenstein!! read it last year for school and wrote sooo many essays on it it was fabulous

It's incredibly sick! It's diseased and unhealthy! It's downright unwell!

My school for all it's benefits is a little bit horrible at exposing us to the classics so I'm taking it upon myself to read them on my own time, and the Frankenstein emails are just add a little fun to it all! It's nice to get to see others' thought and to supplement my own conclusions and thinking with that from others. Maybe I should join a book club hmm.

Anyway, I will not be writing any essays for any classes over Frankenstein--unless it comes up in a later college class, but for now I will be enjoying the experience :)
