if a human asks a gnome when gnomes reach adulthood, they'll probably pin it somewhere between 20 and 40, depending on how they're interpreting the question; if an elf asks, they'll say "oh, we don't"
#speaking of 'getting mad because people don't meaningfully engage with fantasy lifespans'#EVERYONE overlooks the cultural nuance in dnd that elves are /physically/ mature not much later than humans#but are not considered an adult until some self-declared point of maturity usually around the age of 100#that is. DIFFERENT. than 'a 50 year old elf is basically a literal child' no it ISN'T! it's a CULTURAL RECOGNITION#elves don't think it's possible for humans to mature into a really meaningful adulthood because they literally don't live long enough#'poor things have to settle down and work and marry and have children and die before they can even figure themselves out :/'#gnomes don't subscribe to this because of course they don't it's a cultural viewpoint but also they largely think it's stupid#oh yeah? you're all done growing up after 100 years? nothing left to learn about yourself as a person?#you Become An Adult when you're Wise And Mature which is a single static thing that happens in the first 1/6th of your life?#wow amazing it must be cool to be so enlightened 🙄#... I need a general worldbuilding musing tag agsjkfdhsj#I guess for now#gnome thoughts#it's almost entirely elf thoughts but that's my only relevant established tag :'D#gnome stuff

Man, I know particle accelerators are a relatively common thing to exist, but I still can't get over the fact that they're so fuckin sci-fi in both concept and appearance, and that I've looked at one up close
I don't pretend to understand shit about high end science, but it does fascinate me. Back in highschool on our way back from doing multi-day community service work in bumfuck nowhere Minnesota, we stopped by an out of service mine that partially served as a tour site on how mines used to function, and on much lower levels served as particle acceleration/dark matter testing.
I truly can't describe the emotional journey experienced over the several hours of of getting into an 18th century vibe rickety ass iron elevator with an open front, and descending over two thousand feet beneath the earth past countless yawning maws of vacant mine shafts, having a tour largely in the dark explaining the grueling experience and mortality rate of working the mines, then descending further and walking into a cavern sporting the largest pieces of technology I've ever seen that look like some shit straight out of Star Trek, getting a spiel about dark matter, and then after having my mind blown at 17, traveling back up the terrifying elevator to emerge into a fucking gift shop
#there's not really a point to this post I just remembered the fact that I saw a particle accelerator in person once#it was the soudan mine I believe??#shit was wild#sidenote I've straight up used the description of what I experienced descending in that elevator as horror in my dnd game#I'm not someone who has any discomfort with elevators at all I think they're cool#but if you're trapped in an elevator built anywhere over 50 years ago and get to watch pitch black abandoned mine shafts drift past u?#it does smth to a person#I think more about the elevator ride than the collider if I'm being honest#changed me as a person#I might be a lil drunk I just needed to rant about my Wild High School Mine Times

How did you move on from your relationships so fast? Its been a hot minute since my break up and im still over here struggling
My first one is complicated, since it technically ended in October when he found his current gf, and our friendship fully ended in february/march. That one was the one I had to come to terms with the fact I was being abused the entire time, so by the time march hit I was done.
My second one I got over because we both pretty much came to the conclusion we aren't ready for a committed relationship with anyone as we are now. Them for personal reasons, mine because of trauma reasons. We actually went to a BBQ and got to joke about it too, which was funny.
So I'm not really the person to ask. The relationship that took me months to get over was the one where I got over it by realizing I was abused, and the second one ended on such good terms I couldn't really dwell on those emotions too long.
Although, some advice. Getting out of a relationship sucks. If you feel like you're still holding on to that grief (bc it is grief, you're grieving), spend time with friends. Go outside. Find a new band. Write bad poetry. Throw cheap paint on a rock. Go to a concert. Sing loudly to your music. Read a book from your childhood. Eat your favorite ice cream. And during or between that, think about what you had, why you lost it, and that it's okay. You're here, living (even if you have to make yourself), and no other relationship matters more than the one with yourself.
And remember that someone there loves you.
Or, if love isn't your thing, deeply appreciates you.
ALSO! That feeling? It's grief. Let yourself have space to grieve sometimes. Mourn a bit. And with every mourning and grieving, let a little more go. It's not forever, but it also doesn't have to be nonexistent.
Tl;dr I'm not the most qualified to speak on this, but at the end of it all just live every day and do things that make you smile
#uhhh idk haha#have this ig?#i got over my first ex through working my fucking ass off#50 hour weeks across two jobs#i wrote a lot. made an entire album that im still working on#did dnd stuff. listened to new music (WINONA FIGHTER AND RACCOON TOUR BABEY!)#talked with my friends again (after a year. for Ex Reasons)#so yeah#ig the short version is live? yeah#live to thrive

Living with her is such a weird limbo now I’ve decided to go no-contact when I move out, like I’m sad and annoyed all the time about her bs and her attitude and her gaslighting, but I also know there’s an end in sight so I don’t feel... anything about it at the same time.
Idk I’ve got all these weird feelings/non-feelings going on and I just want to reach that end date so I can get on with my life, I’m feeling very weird lately...
#gs rambling again#like rn she's asleep (yes it's 6pm here) and i had to get my sister up because she's got dnd online with her friends#which is fine but like... she's 19 and doesn't get herself up and i'm sick of it being my responsibility#and mum got snappy at me for daring to wake her up at 4pm because i was going to do food because she was tired and needed more sleep#like why tf are you snapping at me you're nearly 50 years old you should know how to communicate with ppl by now#so i just went back to my room because fuck that and had a cry because it's exhausting and i'm exhausted but i also just feel... empty??#like i don't feel any type of way about my decision to cut her off i'm not sad i'm not angry i'm not relieved i just... am.#idk i've had enough and i want it to be august already so i can get out and stay out and maybe then i'll feel something about it#just praying sfe doesn't fuck me over again this year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻#also i really need to talk to my friends about this but i know theyre in a great place and i don't want to bring my sad shit into it#i feel bad for needing them which i'm aware is not a rational way of thinking and i need to open up etc etc#but i'm... i just got so used to keeping it to myself that i don't know what to say or how to open up#and now i'm just spiralling and feeling bad for not talking to them but also bad for even considering it#*gently thuds head into wall*

is anyone surprised, really?
#today i learned ‘adult standards’ is Spotify for ‘old people music’ (geared towards ages 50+)#also i was in the top 2% of dropout listeners#that original cast recording game changer ep sure did do something to me#also my whole top 100 is just a shuffle of the 4 playlists I listened to all year#it was one dnd character playlist and three musical/movie playlists 😅 truly what a time#2020 was the year of bisexuality. 2021 was the year of Gender. and 2022 was the year of being a theater kid first and a person second

Heldi Grimtusk was orphaned at age 10 and taken in by her music teacher, a kind-hearted local bard. Kitna the Silvertongued taught Heldi everything she knew.
The young half-orc's talent got her noticed as she began performing publicly, and soon she had become a renowned bard in her own right, honing her skills to a keen magical edge. However, this also drew attention from undesired sources.
Valras was an archfey who experimented in necromancy and other shadowy magics. He sought to open a gate to the Shadowfell and harness further power for himself through that connection, however his efforts resulted in his being trapped in the Plane of Shadow altogether, unable to return to the Feywild. However he was still able to traverse the Prime Material Plane in shadow, and did so restlessly for well over a century, searching for an echo of the beauty of his home. In one of his nocturnal wanderings, he found Heldi performing in a crowded tavern, and decided he needed to have her for himself. He asked her to marry him and she refused. Enraged, he used a combination of trickery and magical influence to force her into a bargain, and then he took her away to the Shadowfell. This tore her away from Kitna, who had become like a mother to her. Heldi eventually managed to free herself from his influence and file for divorce...after bearing two of his children and spending over 20 years under his control. She discovered on her return to the material plane that Kitna had been dead for many years, and her own reputation as a musician had been mostly forgotten.
As a parting gift and condition of their divorce, Valras gifted her a beautiful greatsword. However, this was a trap which bound her into an unwilling pact, with Valras himself as her patron. Now, her greatest wish is to free herself from the final chain that binds her to the corrupt archfey she so loathes, and free her children from his clutches if they wish to leave their father’s domain.
#heldi grimtusk#new dnd oc that’s been rattling around in my brain for a while :)#the angsty nature of this backstory is balanced by the fact that she is 50 years old in-game and played like a sweet old lady in all social#situations. until she gets mad enough at you to start hitting you with her sword.#i just love the concept of a face who is played like a grandma instead of the typical ‘sexy bard’ archetype. she’s multiclass bard/hexblade#her hair is streaked with gray and she’s not as spry as she once was but she is still well over 6’ tall and a bit heavyset#which means that when she wants to she can Tower over most people - or she can stoop over and play up the old lady act.#uhhh maybe i should tw this because it’s a horrible abusive relationship being discussed here - hold on:#tw abuse#this is not well written literally at all but i dont care i just had to get it outta my system
