Oh so it’s going to be one if THOSE days.

#la vie de la archaeologist #archaeology sucks #especially at this time of year #this after being awakened from a deep sleep #and agreeing to heroically take over someone else’s shift at the last minute

I was at the supermarket this evening and they were selling 300g of blackberries for £2.50, which is just totally mental, especially in late summer. I picked a kilo of blackberries on Saturday, for free, in less time than it takes me to walk to and from Morrisons. Wild blackberries always taste so much better too

#they speak #foraging #it's so bizarre to me that there's even a market for blackberries outside of the cities #especially at this time of year #the apples are so close to being ripe too

Just going to vague about it because I don't actually follow any of these people and this is tangential to the post itself, but I saw an anonymous ask to the tune of "Why do you care about atrocities going on in the world if you're an atheist (unlike me, a principled believer)? Everyone dies; why does it matter how or when if you're not concerned about the afterlife?" and like...

It's really hard to deny the death cult allegations when you're out here straight-up admitting that within your moral framework, the only thing that matters is death, and the only thing that gives death any meaning is adherence to your religion. Death + Cult = Death Cult.

#i'm assuming this person would claim christianity as their religion because it's probably the biggest loudest english-speaking religion #that can tend towards death cult #especially at this time of year #i'm also assuming american because the boldest flavours of death-cult christianity seem to come from there #but really this is something that needs to be guarded against in any social structure that focuses on an afterlife #and regardless of whether you believe in the divine provenance of a religion #it is - in its earthly form - fundamentally a social structure #and like. a belief in an afterlife is a very powerful thing when your present life on earth is hard and painful (as everyone's is sometimes #it can help you keep going! it can be the foundation of hope when there's no hope to be found anywhere in the world around you!#but *that* should be its purpose #and even then it's a very dangerous way to live for both you and the people around you when life on earth is just a means to an end #and death is that end #that's why you have to add on all these other rules like:#'NO SHORTCUTS!' (because otherwise why *wouldn't* you just kill yourself and everyone you love? why not kill babies at birth?)#'oh but you have to live a GOOD life if you want a GOOD end' (because you've deprived life of meaning; gotta add that back in somehow)#'you have to say the right words / do the right actions' (gotta check that goodness against our rubric; how else can we KNOW???)#and the 'no shortcuts' leads to 'but what if it's not my fault' leads to 'okay look. permitted exceptions include...'#leads inevitably to people trying to game the system by making themselves martyrs because people are people and we work like that #like i'm sorry but if - as a religion - you're big on the promise of an afterlife #(makes sense! the world sucks a lot in a lot of ways! imagine if you could live in a world that didn't!)#then you really have to guard against the death cult that WILL be forming within your membership even if that's not what you're going for #and you have to keep watching out forever because the minute you let up #whoops! death cult!#fun and spicy religious thoughts brought to you in part by easter and the catholic church

part of my ongoing nano effort is the work of finding things that leave me inspired and actually wanting to tell stories; tonight, that manifested as deciding my word count for the day would be max 500 words and i'd watch crimson peak instead.

#it was a good choice #i forget how much i like it as a film #especially at this time of year #and i'm ahead of my goal and a little exhausted #and i had to walk two hours home in the rain because the bus didn't run #so it's a chill day #and my brain gets a break #nanowrimo #writing #nettle talks

#dad threw a tantrum about chocolate of all things at family Christmas tonight #as unpleasant and kind of scary it was it was. . . kind of a relief to have other people see what he gets like sometimes?#my grandma put him in his place #she didn’t really want him at Christmas this year for other reasons but was very welcoming anyway #anyway family is just hard #especially at this time of year #personal

thinking about the cult again. hmm

#context: weird fandom I was in around this time in 2021 that turned out to be basically a cult #I wasn't super affected. It was mainly the people creating for the fandom that were but like. It just plays on my mind sometimes #especially at this time of year

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Otherwise, happy holidays nonetheless.

I seem to have earned myself a 50lb crossbow, and ive been given the clear to take it to a gun range i like to go to and test it out there.

Hope everyone's christmas and festive wishes come true! ❤

#hello hellsite #merry christmas #happy holidays #all that good stuff #and i hope everyone who might be having a hard go of it this time of year #knows that they are loved #and that things will get better #we should support eachother #especially at this time of year

It's really tough to get motivated to do my holiday baking when it's 50ºF outside. 😒

#motivation is hard enough to find #especially at this time of year #I don't need the fucking weather undermining me even more

you wear katsuki’s clothes to bed.

among all your cotton and silk pajamas, you prefer the thinning fabric of his faded tees. there are holes in some of them, just a few more seams away from their undoing as they fit far too large on you—but that’s why you love them.

they’re comfy and worn; lived in with love from the man that you love. when katsuki is gone for days or weeks at a time, you find his warmth intertwined within the threads of his t-shirts. when the fabric presses against your back, the bed doesn’t feel nearly as empty as it is.

(though it can never replace him. nothing can, you fear.)

“hoggin’ all my shirts,” he tuts, but you know it means nothing. the roll of white fabric is neatly folded unto itself, its crisp corners unfurling once handed over.

you giggle, shaking off its folds and fitting the hem right over your head. from the corner of your eye, you see katsuki’s gaze, watching you wrangle the fabric over you as the towel wrapped around your body slowly drops to the floor.

he turns away then, a little too quickly, a little too abruptly. if you look at him now, you’re sure you’ll find flushed cheeks and crimson eyes burning in shame for wanting you so inopportunely.

“guess you’ll just have to take me with it then.”

#bakugo x reader #shotorus.bubble #bakugo katsuki x reader #katsuki x reader #bnha x reader #WAAAHDJENDJDN #i think he gets a lil bit flustered seeing u in his clothes 😋#and he feels so embarrassed just watChing u dress and undress #it eases up over time but his cheeks dont lie!!!!!! they flush red everytime!!!!!!#the look of shame transforms into unabashed want over the years but #the feeling is the same 🥹 bubbles or butterflies or whatever the hell it is swirling in his belly #seeing you in something that’s his #especially smth he’s had for yeaaaars 🥺 clothes that have grown up w him 🥺🥺 it makes him feel a little bit like #youre the gift he gets at the end of it all 🥺#like this is the life he has now even tho he was who he was before #and idk !!! it flips something in him !!!#bc it feels a lot like youre proud of being his 🥺 wearing him all over you and whatnot 🥺 and that you’ve chosen him 🥺#all rough edges and holes 🥺🥺🥺🥺#anyway theres a longer version of this but i might make it into a fic or put into an existing one so i will stop it hErEEEEe 🥹🥹🥹#bnha #katsu

bruce 'tired single dad' wayne: *lecturing jason once again on something he did during a fight*

jason 'theatre kid extraodinare'' todd who immediately starts fake crying on the spot: do you just not love me anymore?

#dc comics #dc universe #dcu #batman #red hood #batfamily #batfam #bruce wayne #bruce thomas wayne #jason todd #jason peter todd #jason was never the angry robin #yeah bruce is weak to his children crying but especially jason #if jason can puke on command you best believe he can convincingly fake cry too #what's the point of having trauma if you can't use it to stop your dad from lecturing you?#bruce folds on the spot when jason cries which is why jason doesn't cry that often (jason doesn't want his secret weapon to lose effect)#most of the time jason just owns up to the things he did #so there really isn't any point in lecturing him because jason doesn't care about consequences #the first time jason fake cried in front of bruce after his death he was shocked at how it still worked #the reason why it works so well is because bruce thought jason was dead for around four years and grieved him for so long

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
