[matt-schue]

How?? You would've known my gullible ass bought into it and just made things gradually more insane until I eventually caught on.

Well, what would you do if you had a day to do anything you want? No questions. No rules and an infinite amount of $$$.

And yet....here you are. Hey, it keeps the bills paid, yeah?

There's no fun in that for me, though.

That's such a weird choice.

And yet...

[mismaeve]

Hello, darlings! I need your help - my dash, after my long hiatus, has become extremely empty and quiet. Which is no good. SOOO - I ask that you tag some blogs here that I could follow. Mainly Tolkien of course, but if it's a blog with a good mix of things and a good and cozy vibe, I'm all for it! Thank you in advance! ✨

No, it absolutely does. I just know different people find success to be in different ways is all.

I mean, does your version of success not matter here? It's your business venture, after all.

𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄: 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑.

Bold: always! Italic: sometimes! My muse: Queen Maeve

𝐈. 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍:  melancholy at best,  introspective,  severely misunderstood, pleasure in the subdued,  helping in your own way, dreams in poetry, the slowness of falling asleep,  refreshing meditation.

𝐈𝐈. 𝐒𝐔𝐍: sunbleached clothes,  futures that are too bright,  everything at arm’s length,  balancing intensity,  blind encouragement,  comfort of sleep,  distracting sunspots in your vision,  necessity of growth.

𝐈𝐈𝐈. 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐌: chaos with a purpose,  emotions running high,  natural comfortable anarchy,  high volume, leaving your mark, brief flashes of violence, rambling quickly, the intensity of desire.

𝐈𝐕. 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐃: running towards instead of away,  instinctive motivation,  making an impact,  knows everyone who knows anyone, playful pranks, mood swings in a split second, collecting old trinkets,  uncontrollable focus.

𝐕. 𝐒𝐍𝐎𝐖:  serene on the surface,  cold blooded heart,  love it or hate it attitude, good memories, heavy discussions,  sharp determination,  relentless resolve,  not as scary as it seems.

WHICH SYMBOLIC FRUIT ARE YOU?

cherry.

In popular culture, cherries have come to represent sensuality, sex, and seduction. In the cult classic, Twin Peaks, Audrey Horne expresses her sexual expertise by tying a cherry stem with her tongue. "Cherry" is also used to refer to the concept of virginity: why? I don't know to be honest, but here we are. Much like the cherry, you're a sensual person who enjoys all the creature comforts the world offers. You enjoy delicious food, dynamic relationships, passionate lovemaking and stimulating conversation; however, you may also come across a touch vapid or shallow, due to your quickly fading attention when something has served its usefulness to you. To quote some man on tinder: "you're here for a good time, not a long time". You can come across, at times, slightly tart, carrying a bit of a bite to you that not everyone can handle. That’s okay: you’re an acquired taste!

pomegranate.

The pomegranate is most famously attributed to the Greek goddess, Persephone. Though versions of the story differ: with some saying Persephone was tricked into eating pomegranate seeds to be trapped in the underworld, and some saying she willingly chose to eat the seeds. Pomegranate's have a hard exterior that is tough to crack. Your hard shell is a natural protectant and keeps you safe from those that only wish to use you. Internally you are rich with bounties. You believe in living your life passionately and vibrantly. The idea of surrendering to a fate of being confined to anything, whether it be a relationship, a job, or family dynamic where you are not happy and lack agency is a terrifying prospect. It is fears like this which also prevent you from opening up and showing vulnerability to those around you. However, like the pomegranate whose seeds sparkle like gemstones, you hide inside you incredible beauty that only the most worthy deserve to see.

peach.

In many cultures, peaches symbolize the vagina. While apples and pomegranates symbolize female liberation in many feminist readings, peaches have come to bear (arbitrary) connotations of sexuality and (traditionally) female arousal, due to their soft tissues, fuzzy skin, and sweet juices. In many art pieces, they are used to symbolize such motifs and are markers of sweet temptation and femininity. Like the peach, you radiate softness, and the color pink. You walk with a graceful air and enjoy the simple things in life. You are a romantic through and through, but are also someone who is somewhat of a free spirit: tied to nothing and no one. You believe in free love, free thought, and doing what makes you happy. Like the peach, whose juices run without inhibition when you bite into it, you are not in the business of making yourself palatable for anyone. You are who you are, without excuses.

i hate when fandoms ruin a show for me.  fandoms are supposed to be things that make getting super super into a show even more fun, not things that are so horrible and rancid that you lose interest in the show itself

[dovesylvester]

That’s good to know! I love when shows manage to pull in people who aren’t familiar with the source material—it’s always a sign of great storytelling. I’ll definitely give it a go soon, and I’ll try not to bombard you with too many questions if I get lost, haha.

Riot puts a lot of resources into anything related to League and Arcane really hit it off with audiences, even people who had no reference for League of Legends. Feel free. Depending on what they are I might not be as equipped but I will try.

it's very much both. a battle between logic, between knowing better - and a battle with the broken parts of herself. "why does it matter?" she grits out all the same, "both options end in handcuffs."

"are you kidding me? I'll have to smash. smash your kneecaps if you keep leaving things on top shelves." it's an evasion, a playful one despite everything. "as they say. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it."

Would it help if I said there's a few rivers that are relatively close by? Or, I mean, we're only a couple of hours from a pretty decent beach on the Atlantic.

I'm starting to think I should have found someplace to live closer to the ocean, instead of just coming back here. But, of course, I listened to the medical professionals when they told me to "go someplace you'll have support" instead of following my desire to be by the water.

What do adults even do around here for fun? And where's the best place to get a glass of whisky?

Maeve: Am I in trouble? Freya: Take a guess. Maeve: No? Freya: Take another guess.

Freya: Ew. What kind of tea is this? Maeve: I boiled gatorade.

Freya: Who hurt you? Maeve: *snorting* What, do you want a list? Freya: ...Yes, actually.

Freya: Watcha doin? Maeve: Stealing my neighbour’s cat. Freya: Scandalous. Freya: Can I help?

Maeve: Freya, I screwed up, big time. Freya: Maeve, given your daily life experiences, you’re gonna have to be more specific.

*at a zoo* Freya: What are they in for? Maeve: Freya, this isn't prison. Freya: So they can leave? Maeve: No, but- Freya, pointing at a meerkat: I bet that one murdered someone.

Maeve: *makes Freya a cup of tea but puts salt in it* Freya: *sips tea* Maeve:

Freya: *finishes tea* Maeve: Didn't it taste bad? Freya: Yeah, but I didn't want to hurt your feelings so I drank it all. Maeve, tearing up: Oh, okay.

a story that ends in blood

The world has always been unkind, and when you have turned to yourself for comfort you have come face to face with an empty pit which seems to be laughing. You don’t care if it kills you but once you find someone whom you love and who loves you back, you will make sure nothing happens to them. They are yours. You will make a tear in this world and create a new place for you and your love if it comes to that. Because it has always been about love, and it is how it always ends.

a knife called grief

You have left your house, you have left those people behind, but what are you going to do about the memories which have taken root in you? You can run but not without them. You want someone to sit with you on this cool marble floor while the sun burns everything.You want them to cut your rotten heart and theirs too. You want to sit with it in front of you, let them see you with all your flaws, which haven’t been your fault but you have been made to believe so, and you want them to love you anyways. Because you know you’d do that for them.

an undoing influence

Can someone tell you what to do? You have been carrying so much love within you for so long it is starting to turn into anger (why does it matter, all you see is red anyways) and you have been dragging this body through each day and every night you are split open on your bed and it is so so so lonely. If someone were to walk in while you were on your bed that way and they stitched you back in a new way, lining the seams with their love and kisses, you’d probably find this dreary world a little more bearable. You want someone to turn you over and over until you look in the mirror and see yourself looking back at yourself with a gentleness which has been lacking in you since forever.
