My walks on water OTP
Aside from it, I adore the paralles between Ava and Adriel. It makes sense, if they reflect Christ and the Antichrist. Even the fact Ava's miracle happens during the day, and Adriel's during the night, seems interesting.

What I like a lot about judaism is... It can wait. It can wait. Especially on shabbos it's just... You can wait. Life can wait a bit.
And that's really nice in a world that moves at a breakneck speed, demands you move with or be left behind. I've always been left behind because it's hard to keep up, but I find that I can actually just... Let things happen when it comes to judaism. You think a people, a religion that's thousands of years old doesn't have time for you, or wouldn't be willing to wait for you? I doubt that you'll be left behind, truly.
#jumblr#jewish conversion#jew by choice#personal thoughts tag#it feels like poetry that while typing this on my phone it tried demanding me to use its new AI 'assistant'#i'm not built for a world like that i think#like i completely FORGET that online shopping is a thing because when i was a kid the only way to reliably get your stuff is from The Store#this is funny to post right before pesach though (planning on hopefully going to shul to help them clean)#but overall i appreciate this a whole lot#in many ways this isn't unique to judaism but i feel this strongly from my community and in general#and that's part of the reason why i appreciate this#this especially helps due to the classes i'm taking/took because that shit Does Not Wait For You

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HEADCANONS!! jade and kalim are my favorite characters and they in particular gave me so much joy. out of curiosity, whats your favorite way to knit? :) -the previous anon
I do continental and I will forever be a magic loop stan (magic loop >>>> dpns and I will die on this hill). I used to be a REALLY prolific knitter, always had something cast on, and there was one year where I somehow managed to make several pairs of (ravelry link) Fireweeds socks in the space of like a month for holiday presents. but I have early-onset arthritis and it started to really hurt my fingers, so I fell off and don't do nearly as much anymore. :(
mostly what I do these days is mini projects, like little lace panels or doll clothes/accessories that I can finish relatively quickly. I might not have the time or ability to do, like, full colorwork socks anymore, but I still like making stuff!
#twisted wonderland#toys#knitting#ironically i did use dpns for these because i don't have circulars in that size#my hubris#i had. many regrets. especially when i was down to like 2 sts on each needle and it was horrible keeping them from getting twisted.#twisted stitches wonderland is that anything#i also cross stitch but i've been in more of a sewing phase recently#my local quilt shop stocks a ton of minky colors and i've been determined to learn plushmaking

i'm not sure if this is bias from someone whose only seen voy+ds9 or if it's maybe more due to the setting of ds9 (a place people visit instead of people who visit places) but it is soooo delightful seeing all the PEOPLE!!! all of these unspeaking extras all dressed up in weird costume and extraordinary makeup. all of these aliens so different from one another and yet blending perfectly and harmoniously into the background, entirely irrelevant but no doubt leading unique and interesting lives. that probably sounds contradictory to love seeing the people when the show is no longer about Exploring To Meet People but idk something about ds9 feels different. feels alive and intriguing. maybe ds9 simply cant throw in human extras and call it a day like on a starfleet vessel because that just Is Not The Setting but also maybe ds9 does it willingly. happily. look at all of these different people. so many good unique character gimmicks get used in ds9 namely related to business owners/local workers and we are only so blessed with getting to know a few of them. a spy from the planet of state servitude who is drawn to the mundane and hedonistic self gratification owns a tailoring shop because hes banished from home. a bar tender who gets blackmailed into staying and his cop-vs-criminal dynamic best frenemy the Unknown Sample butt heads every day. all of the bajorans and their religious sites!!!!!! the school!!!!!! a worker from Capitalism Planet forms a union and then quits his job to be a freelance engineer and his sex worker wife who he loves very much. a guy from some sorta warrior culture who instead works as a chef serving live worms to his patrons who'll also burst into song during downtime. all of the shady visitors dealing in illicit substances and goods. all of the weird shapes and colours on these visitors from races whose names we may not even know. one of the starfleet crew guys gives birth to litters and he does this multiple times and some longterm professor on the station has a transparent skull and all this & more is conveyed to us strictly thru crewmembers gossiping about all the strange new different People around them because this show is all about People
#ikildaman shut the fuck up#ds9#this was supposed to be a rant on how i want to steal the klingon chef idea for an oc because klingons having mundane jobs is SO GOOD#and somebody already took the klingon medic idea (SUCH a good gimmick oh my god#what im saying is they should make more shows about shopping malls. or warfront towns i guess is the more apt comparison#businesses and workers and customers and civilians.... living life living LIFE#it hits especially so considering a space station is just not a place you spawn. you CHOOSE to go there. you CHOOSE to live there#you CHOOSE to hold ur business there etc etc. maybe this is why ds9 feels like it revels in its People#for every person who shows up here has to be a Choice. there is no background extra put in without thought and consideration#seeing klingons just in the background hanging out together during a time ds9 HAS klingons on it when the episode is not ABOUT them was jus#it was so good i pogged i pointed at my screen and i pogged#the little details........

By the way. Buying jeans in stores is impossible if you are shorter than average and they are gonna drag behind you like a veil. Have fun tripping on them (It's me. I am short)
#brought to you by me buying jeans today#they are said to be ankle length#spoiler: NOT ON ME#they go midway to my heel#if i tuck them in slightly they are great#but the point is#i am 158/159 cm#in feet i think that's either 5'2 or 5'3#THERE ARE PLENTY PEOPLE SHORTER THAN ME#if i can't buy jeans because they are long enough to cover my entire foot and a few cm of floor as well#what the fuck are people even shorter than me buying#a year ago i bought these loose summer pants that were said to be in length somewhere under the knee#THEY GO TO MY ANKLES (they are great pants btw. the only pair of loose pants i own because all the other ones in stores are too f long)#i know getting clothes tailored is an option#but i am really not gonna do that with everything i am buying?#especially jeans#since i never know how long they are gonna last#my thighs are thicker and touch each other so they have a tendency to tear in between my legs#sometimes they last years (current record 5 years)#and sometimes they last 3 months#i never know until i wear them more often#and i am not gonna get my clothes tailored every 3 months#i am on the skinny side so idk what the plus-size clothes situation is like but according to all evidence: absolutely horrible#anyway#brought to you by me bcs i dont shop online often and prefer stores so i can try things on first without having to return them after buying#also reminder that i DID buy nice jeans today. its just that i hardly ever find some#ohv and obv tall people also have it bad™ i am sorry for your naked ankles in winter weather#ema rambles#possibly to delete

as an asian doctor who fan, i may complain about how i'm gonna manage to watch the episodes in real-time now but honestly, this shit is easy-peasy compared to the absolute barracks u had to go through in order to find any episode at 480p at most 10 years ago. u could only find the episodes on dailymotion or youtube in 10 part videos at the lowest res known to man. and if u were lucky, all of the 10 parts were still there and not yet deleted due to copyright. maybe on curcirca too, if u were lucky to reach it before the site got taken down and even then, some episodes were still missing. let's just say that it was especially rough back then as an asian fan and i'm so glad it's slightly more accessible now
#the way my ass was so shocked seeing tiny doctor who merch and the 50th doctor who books at our bookstore over here back in 2013#because that shit was mad niche at that time#i mean it still kinda is over here#but all the more back then#best believe i bought every single one of them because idk when i'd ever see a moment like that ever again#especially since online shopping just wasn't a thing back then just yet over here#doctor who#ramble ramble

hinata is so cute. he really went:
bamboo shoots made azura smile -> azura's smile is super cute -> i would like to see her with an even bigger smile -> i should get her more bamboo shoots -> i should propose to her while giving her bamboo shoots
he also happens to be responsible for one of the funniest lines azura's ever said:
"i'm sorry. it sounded like you were proposing to me with a bag of vegetables."
#fire emblem fates#fe hinata#fe azura#fe14#hinazura#is that they're ship name?#it is now#do you think takumi slaps himself hard enough to leave a print when he learns this#or do you think he smacks his head against somethinf#i feel like sakura probably thinks its cute#hinoka might fuss a little#she IS the woman who ran a sizeable distance just to tell azura that she was sorry for ignoring her#and took her shopping#i feel like it would really upset her that azura ended up having a lame-ish proposal at first#ryoma would find it funny and also probably realize that azura finds it sweet and funny#the kids find it so embarrassing#especially hisame#shigure is nicer because he's an artist so he can see that it'd be cute#he even paints the scene for them on their anniversary

Are you constantly relying on consumerism from corps that are trying to exploit you because they manipulated you to separate you from otherwise caring parents, or did your parents make you vulnerable to that type of exploitation because you wanted an escape from their toxicity and abuse?
#mine#my dad is always talking about this sort of thing in regards to the former#especially when it relates to my shopping habits#idk what to conclude at this point#anti consumerism#anti capitalism#anarchopunk#anti corporations#anarchism#anarchy#thinking#did an admittedly big splurge when I shouldn’t have because I lost my job a few days ago#on egl stuff#and they were very upset to where I probably won’t be able go to tekko this year#and while I canceled some orders#I’m worried I won’t be able to keep them when they come in

Every now and then I remember the times I would mention to my flatmate that I was thinking of buying myself something reasonably expensive (that I had been eyeing up for months and had budgeted for) and she'd tell me that I shouldn't spend that much money on something I didn't need and it would be stupid etc etc while she regularly impulse bought things that cost at least as much and she would use once (while complaining that she was under a lot of financial stress and couldn't afford <$3/week for 2 months for a rental washing machine when ours broke). She is... perhaps not my first call for financial advice
#like I get that you're financially stressed but also it feels a bit rich to complain about it when you're on student allowance (not loan)#and your parents still contribute to things for you even though allowance is supposed to be for people whose parents can't afford to help#and you get multiple scholarships a year even though you're technically not eligible for half of them anymore but then as soon as the money#comes in from those you spend it all on a brand new dress for your sister's hen's do picnic because you can't wear the same dress as you#will for the actual hen's night or the wedding. Better buy a full price one at an expensive store instead of looking in a single op shop or#borrowing one from one of your three sisters who are all roughly the same size#god life must be so tough for you getting the same amount of money as the rest of us on student loan except you only have to pay back half#like the only money you have to live off is the same as what the rest of us get + scholarships (plural) plus what you earnt in your summer#internship? how could you possibly survive??#anyway I am NOT a fan of people who are like 'oh you say you have no money for rent but you have a phone?' because that's bullshit#and the whole 'millenials need to stop eating avocado toast so they can buy a house' thing is also bullshit#however. If you pay $60/week for a gym when you have access to the free uni one (or any other gym in the country is like $20)#and you buy uber eats multiple times a week for like $30+ each time despite having a premade meal in the fridge. and you get multiple#scholarships which mean you are arguably among the more well off students. AND you impulse buy things that cost over $100 regularly#then maybe the problem is not that you don't have enough money to split the rental costs of a washing machine (<$3 each/week)#maybe you are just bad with money#which is fine like it's not like it's unfixable it's just annoying when you act like you're worse off than people whose only money is what#they get from student loan each week so they eat beans on rice for dinner for a week#because that's all they could afford (yes I know people who did this. Yes she complained more than them)#so no I don't think I'm gonna be taking financial advice from you babes because one of us has entertained the idea of a budget to help with#finances and it's not you xx#(she turned down offers of financial help/advice/books to borrow from multiple people multiple times. I 100% get that you might not want to#talk to people about it especially your friends but we had multiple books on finances lying around the flat which she always said she didn't#need. And then she'd continue to complain that she didn't have enough money#god forbid you suggest something like going to a cheaper gym (or worse. The perfectly fine free uni gym!)#again. Her gym cost $60/week for most of last year until they brought in a student discount which was 'only' $45/week#the next most expensive gym chain I can find costs maybe $30/week for the highest membership level#to get what she was getting she would only need like a $20 membership#BUT to be fair she wouldn't get such strong culty vibes at any other gym#lol anyway sorry for the rant. I could keep going but apparently you can only have 30 tags and this is the last one

The ADHD experience is forgetting where you set you cup down five minutes ago, but being able to pick up where you end off in a conversation you had 10 years ago. It's remembering the fine details of a book but forgetting who gave it to you, or if you bought it yourself. It's remembering a thing your best friend mentioned an interest in, but forgetting their birthday even though you've been best friends for 10+ years.
When we are bored, we become the equivalent of a husky in a cubicle. When the boredom gets bad, we break down, crying, and fall into a deep depression.
It's randomly getting the intense and overwhelming craving for a bowl of plain rice or a slice of bread with a little butter on it, and craving nothing else. Just this dose of carbs that brings absolute satisfaction.
It's fighting to convince your body to move and acquire food and water, but you remain trapped on the sofa, your brain and body will not move even though you haven't eaten or had anything to drink in 12 hours. You need to use the bathroom, your bladder is raging, and the only thing that finally gets your brain to behave is the pain.
ADHD isn't just some cute thing of being distracted with a case of the zoomies. It's a nightmare that results in losing jobs, poor eating habits, insomnia so bad you're awake for three days and fall asleep only because you're exhausted, and your home is filthy even though you desperately want to clean it up. There's nothing enjoyable about this fuckery.
#chaosfay talks#adhd#my hatred of vermin ants and other pests as well as my allergies are what keep my home clean. though i fight my brain so i can clean#the bathroom. the chemicals mess with my asthma so i wear a mask and gloves are necessary because of textures and skin reactions#i have a small wardrobe and hate shopping for clothes which means laundry gets done. a small house means it gets put away ASAP#but kitchen stuff? cooking is extremely difficult because i get distracted and forget to do things. ny husband is a professional#cook and enjoys cooking for me. we have a rice cooker now which means i'm eating lots of rice and satisfying my carb cravings#i have loud obnoxious alarms set up for med reminders especially now that i take meds twice a day instead of once a day#it's why i have meds set up in little organizers so i can just dump thr daily doses in my hand without trying to remember if i took them#it's why we're gonna remove the doors from the cupboards and cabinets and replace them with the kind you can see through#because out of sight out of mind 100% applies to my life. my cat is also very good at reminding me to feed her and clean her litter box#i might not remember your birthday but i can pick up our conversation from 10 years ago when i last saw you#even if i can't remember your name i will remember what we were chatting about as though it was only five minutes ago

i love going to target and looking at all the Items, but now everything is behind a locked wall and it's not fun anymore :-/
#i hate buying stuff online but like there's no way i'm going to stand around and wait 10 minutes and bother an employee#because i need to read the back of the deodorant....#and then repeat in 30 seconds when i also need vitamins#like especially since it's so much more inconvenient in the first place for me since i don't drive#but i just hate shopping online! i hate it! i need to Touch the lotion bottle i want before i know if i want it#i need to see them all next to each other!#and there's also decision fatigue when you have the option of EVERY LOTION THAT'S EVER EXISTED IN THE WORLD#i just want to choose between 3 or 4 bottles of lotions at most please

Aro working retail culture is resisting the urge to commit a felony /hj
.
#Anonymous#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod phoenix#same from a fellow service industry person#today at my workplace - across the street from a state capitol - we discovered it was a major meeting day for a lot of legislative bodies#because we are a coffeeshop. and do u know how fucking terrible it is to have a fucking sea of politicians staring at u from the line#in a *swing-state* with R legislators#so many of them acted like it pained them to have to interact with me and/or our shop#especially the white 30-something dudes who probably passed at least hmmm 5 homeless people walking to our shop#and despite being a white bougie kinda place we have an open door policy for said homeless to come in and warm up / freely use our bathroom#so i also got to see a lot of fun expressions when they'd suddenly realize there was someone sleeping in a corner quietly#wish i could have kicked several of these dudes where it hurts#there was also one person who i'd bet money was a dem and had the gay voice but was like. still a self-important white dude that somehow#found a way to be both friendly and clearly looking down on me#just. service workers :handshake: desire to commit a fucking felony#also quick pro-tip from ur local coffee-shop workers: if you are upset that we double-cup or use hot sleeves for ur coffee/tea cups#consider: don't! we are also handling them. the individual use of the plastic involved is something you should take up with corporate#not the workers who like to not get burned#such as me :) who got burned :) because the very fresh pot of coffee was hot and the cup wasn't as stable as usual and crumpled :)#and spilled coffee on me :)#at a fresh probable-205F temp#(not a bad burn - thankfully it wasn't much#just a lil redness#tbh the hot water for tea and americanos is so much more dangerous#since that's coming directly at 205 degrees out of the spout and possibly onto our hands (it sputters / leaks sometimes)

look i live in california i know damn well the price of groceries is absurd. but whenever i see someone say “i buy hellofresh because it’s wayyy cheaper than groceries” i wince. you people just dont know how to fucking shop
#and I mean okay that’s not your fault probably but. I don’t know man I don’t like big wasteful companies taking advantage of the fact that#people (namely around my age range) don’t know how to buy staple foods and frozen produce and etc to cook with that lasts a long time and is#absolutely cheaper than hellofresh especially in the long run#I do understand the lack of time/energy to cook meals from scratch believe me but these days I RARELY cook anything that takes longer than#a hellofresh meal would. use the recipes on their website if you want but please im begging you look up tips for sustainable low-effort#grocery shopping.#I will admit. factor meals do tempt me. because my old roommate got them for a couple weeks once and I tried them and was actually very#surprised by the quality. like they actually taste like homemade meals. but logically I know it’s not a good deal except for the time it#would save. sighh#kibumblabs#said roommate is also the reason I tried hellofresh for like a week or two (she bought it and then never wanted to cook anything so I#ended up cooking them so they wouldn’t go bad) and don’t get me wrong they’re not bad#but there’s so much unnecessary packaging waste and the amount you make leaves for basically no leftovers or anything to use later and so on#it’s just really a bad deal in comparison to making anything yourself

Very seriously considering buying the first editions of The Wingfeather Saga I just found on ebay even though I already own the four new (2020) hardcovers. It’s only gonna be about 65 dollars for all four of them which includes The Warden and the Wolfking which, due to how it was originally released, always costs a LOT because it’s rare by default... so it’s a really good deal... even though I don’t technically need them...
#books#the wingfeather saga#the warden and the wolf king#tbh I just. REALLY want the pictures from the original WatWK#I LOVE them SO MUCH#I buy them from joe sutphin (the illustrator)'s etsy shop a lot#but there are some he doesn't sell that I would like to have#there is also one really fantastic picture in the original On the edge of the dark sea of darkness book#of peet and nugget charging into the fang army#I don't THINK book 2 had any pictures originally?#and I think book 3 had like ONE near the end ajghdkjfhjasf#I only know this because I got the original editions from the library and that was how I first read the books#Idk how the library even got ahold of them#ANYWAY#I love to hoard things#books especially#I am a book dragon
