Do it scared fr

#i just washed and air dryed my hair it feels so niceeee #it dryed within the hour bc it's so hot #the reason im so happy is because even at my age my mum still regularly washes my hair #and ive tried before but its scary #but i think im getting the hang of it #i didn't get taught a lot of things #and all i ever get are complaints from her #how am i supposed to know how to do something you never bothered to teach me #but yeah i just feel really good about myself rn #this year has been a lot of firsts lets hope it continues like that #even though it can be scary :)#lasar being incoherent

Scoria and Sakura are best friends! It's so cute when I see the things they do together, and it makes me so beyond happy that they both came to live with me so that they could share their lives with each other. They absolutely insist on it, and does so much good for the other.

I can't imagine how else they could have found happiness if things hadn't worked out exactly as they did. Scoria has basically been Sakura's "emotional support snake" while she worked through things from her past I'll never fully know that caused her a lot of issues with panic and fear. Sakura knows this too, and looks out for her sister, the only one she truly trusts and feels completely safe with.

The moment they wake up they both want each other to snuggle and play with. Scoria loves to be affectionate with both me and her sister who seems to have not had this earlier in her life- but Scoria is showing her how nice it is not only directly but demonstrating with me and Sakura also trying, copying what she has seen her sister do.

Sometimes when one goes to check on the other they'll join in on... I'm not even sure what they were doing. But they had a good time while taking a mandated union break from digging tunnels for the isopods.

So happy I get to share in the adventures of these two best friends! It makes me so happy to see them living their best lives together, and being beyond content snuggled together with their found family.

#cute #pets #snakes #friends #animals #I think Sakura tried copying Scoria and didn't quite get the full memo #So she went down the front bark and Scoria went down the back which leads into diggy dirt #And Sakura was like #“I followed friend into bark but where is friend???”#Meanwhile Scoria was probably oblivious her little sister was trying to find her & she may was well have her front half going into a portal #Eventually they found each other fully #And were very clear they prefer their home far more than this enclosure they helped build tunnels for #I'm glad to know they like their home #While I do want to make it more aesthetically pleasing #the current focus was filling it with things they enjoy #Specifically things they have a lot of fun playing with or on #I want their home to be the place they feel safe but also enjoy being in #not a prison #a bedroom #I think they like their enclosure but they sometimes don't want to go in it because they also really enjoy spending time with me #Scoria really does #but also communicates effectively when she is sleepy from playing and needs to rest #as much as they love each other when they go to sleep for the night they sleep alone #even with the option to stay near each other #I think this is nature rather than something I taught them by separating them into their own enclosures after play time #which makes me wonder if humans classified them as solitary just because they don't want room mates #like plenty of people i know choose to live alone but that doesn't mean they are introverts/solitary #I wonder if wild hoggies sleep alone (not counting brumation) and their social lives outside their den was completely ignored #Like I bet they live in a neighborhood or kingdom or whatever you want to call it #The fact they can communicate“I'm friendly let's be nice to each other”indicates a species that regularly comes into contact with each other

nothing like a 12 am spiral over religious trauma lol

#over the past year i've been struggling a lot with my beliefs and how i was raised #i am still part of the church and i want to pull away from it so badly #but i am not in a safe place to do that at the moment #so i am stuck in this vicious cycle #and at times i feel very trapped #and i'm not quite sure what to do or how to get myself out of it #it's really hard when it's all you've ever known #and you feel like a heretic and like you're sinning for questioning god and his existence #there are just things i cannot reconcile #and it's especially difficult when you've always been the 'good girl' and you know it would rock everyone's world if you came out and said #you didn't believe what you've been taught your whole life #don't even get me started on if i ever came out as queer to anyone in my life lmao #anyway ignore me i'm just having a moment #tw religious trauma

im all for making fun of and criticizing the way booktok (and booktube) aestheticize reading to an insane degree, making it more about being percieved as a reader more than like. actually reading. but some people on here lump the most normal things ever into the booktok consumerism pile?

like yes, booktok/tube places a lot of emphasis on the visuals of "reading", but then someone on here just went and said that simply "not wanting to damage your books" is a stupid booktok thing??? what? it's not vain or pretentious to care about your posessions, especially if they mean a lot to you. simply wanting your books to remain in good condition is not the same as having 100 unread books, or five editions of the same book, or books you hated, purely because they look nice.

and someone else said that having a yearly reading goal was also a stupid booktok/tube thing? since when? i've met people who set themselves yearly reading goals before youtube even existed. it's literally just a new years resolution, but tailored to a specific hobby?

#anti booktok #kinda went off in the tags lmao #like if you don't care about your books being a bit beat up and worn all power to you but its just insane to me #to say that NOT wanting your books to get worn means that you don't really care about reading?? what?#like for some people their most worn books are their most loved #but before i really got into reading if i had a beat up book its because i did not fucking care about it #and wouldn't bother if it got gnawed on by my dog or if it fell off the table into water #it's almost like we're all different and show our love and care for things in different ways?#'taking care of your things is stupid' is not the hot take you think it is bestie #and this person said in their post 'well i was always taught-' yea YOU were always taught #some people didn't grow up that way and weren't taught that idiot #similarly having special editions isn't the problem it's the overemphasis on having special editions #of books you didn't even enjoy #purely for the clout and the status that comes with owning a lot of special editions #wanting a pretty bookshelf isn't the problem you know some people just like it when their space is nice who knew #its when the bookshelf LOOKING nice supersedes literally anything else #like it doesn't matter if you enjoyed the book or if you read the book it just matters that it looks really nice on the shelf #something something nuance #vagueposting

2 years to the date that all of my hard work paid off and i was able to buy a home for myself and finally, at long long long long last, able to escape my abusive parents house. not just a house, but a home, and that difference has always been important to me. i feel mostly astounded by how quickly the years have passed since then, but also proud. not just of the achievement but also the way that i've been able to get to know myself, develop my identity, and figure out who i am in that short period of time. it's amazing the way you get to flourish in a world with stability (and not just in the material sense but that too!) when you're not spending every second running from and avoiding life altering trauma. i have some really exciting opportunities coming up to better help me work towards that very soon and hopefully the trajectory continues. it was such a difficult 24 years in getting there a couple of years ago and i really didn't think i'd even make it at times but my god it was so worth waiting for.

#mine #24/10/2022 #home #and i say develop my identity because i've had to learn to do so many things that i wasn't able to before #most notably: establish boundaries and stop giving a fuck what others think #and stop letting others use me/treat me badly #and in part a lot of that was my responsibility that i didn't uphold. i don't like being a victim.#and calling people out on their bullshit and getting rid of the ones who are awful is just as important as them not doing it to begin with #i still have a long way to go here and in other areas too of course #but the growth ive had in these 2 years has been exponentially more than the amount of growing i did in the 24 before that #but beyond that like #being able to actually leave the house and do things #taught me so much about who i am and what i like and what i want for my life #i thought i knew but i really had no idea #and a lot of that has been reflected through stylistic/physical changes #but ive really gotten a better understanding of the actual person i am #which has in turn impacted my confidence (which took a horrible hit about this time last year i wont lie)#which then cycles back into the assertiveness

I kinda feel like there's this weird pushback around people asserting their boundaries online sometimes and I don't really know why. if someone says they don't like a single person liking a large amount of their posts in a short time for whatever reason, a dozen others go, "well I like it when people do that, so everyone is welcome to spam like me". if someone says they don't consider being mutuals to necessarily mean being friends, a dozen others go, "reminder that if we've even glanced at each other even once then we're the bestest friends ever and you can talk to me any time!"

it's not like, morally wrong for people to have preferences for how they'd like others to treat them, and it's strange to try and fight to be the most accommodating kindest nicest doormat ever. I guess the dumb discourse around, you know, colour palette/pose theft or whatever, has made people have more knee-jerk reactions to having an actually reasonable boundary.

#I'm thinking of the ''would you be mad if someone made a fic based on your headcanon/concepts'' poll #(which I did just reblog but deleted bc op locked reblogs shortly after #I think a lot of people prev to me were making the same point I did #which is yeah you should really ask first if you're using someone's very specific idea #and I think they were getting annoyed bc we were missing the point #and it apparently wasn't what they meant so I didn't want to bother them bc I think I was a straw that broke the camel's back lol whoops)#but there were many others in the notes wondering why you would share things in an online space if you didn't want people to use it?#which is just. such a weird mindset to have to me that's bordering on naive entitlement #in that I don't Think people are meaning to come across as entitled bc they're just having fun with transformative works. but kind of are.#they shared it online bc there's an audience to see something they've worked on #people like to refer to fandom as playing in a space but kids are taught to ask if they want to play with someone else's toys first

Oh mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the house of The Rising Sun

#okay but can we agree? House of the rising sun? beautiful amazing incredible timeless masterpiece? yeah?#all i want is to put on a cute 70s dress with the bell sleeves and some gogo boots and get my hair all pretty with the flip curls #and go to one of those really cool and dark and lowkey shady bars you see on the movies. with a pool table and a jukebox #hard-looking bartender with an impressive mustache named Mitch or Hank #and go up to the bar and he'd be like “whatya having doll?” “oh. anything sweet please”#and he hands me some soda-gin or whatever with a lemon slice. and the guy next to me notices my drink and is like #“hey Mitch. give the lady something nicer eh? maker a double from the back shelf. extra ice”#“i'm fine with this actually. i don't drink whiskey” “tonight you do sweetheart”#and he's wearing some really nice jeans and boots and a dark shirt and a leather jacket. dark hair but has some freckles. charming smile.#“what is a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this? i think them church youths go bowling next door”#“i am not lost. can't a girl enjoy some music” “does the boyfriend know?” “i answer to no one”#and he takes a long drag of his cigarette and chuckles. Mitch brings my new drink as gives him a look before drafting some beer #“so. the pretty lady likes a little danger eh?” “the lady has a name” .#i take a sip of the whiskey and try real hard not to cough. he thinks it's funny. i think he's a little cute #“does she now? and does the lady dance by any chance” and he's standing up quite tall and offers me a hand “she does”#and we go to the dance floor near the jukebox where quite a lot of people are dancing and eventually this song starts playing #and he kisses me surprisingly gentle and tastes like menthol cigarettes and hard liquors and I'm definitely a bit dizzy from the drink #he probably has a cute name like Daniel (Danny is what everyone calls him)#and maybe he has a bike or a really nice convertible. obviously red. je offers to take me home but we're just driving for a bit instead #“didn't you daddy taught not to get into stranger's cars?” “my daddy also taught me not to kiss pretty boys and yet”#“so you think i'm pretty?” “pretty enough”#and we laugh to the wind and the radio is on and this song starts playing again and it's a perfect moment #anyways. great song great band 👍#darya's mixtape #Spotify

Final Chapter: Tomorrow's Legends

#gingaman lb #super sentai lb #umbrella.thoughts #umbrella.posts #that's a wrap people #it was nice and i really liked the effects and the designs were stellar #the bull black arc and galactic light arc in general were chef's kiss #the relationships were all really sweet and nice and i liked the inclusion of flashbacks to give more background since they've known each #other for their whole lives and i liked the tree network being used to navigate and how yuuta was like a little brother to the team and the #never discouraged him but were also clear about the dangers and risks they face as warriors but also taught him different aspects about #being a good warrior outside of physical strength #wish there was more development for things like shellinda and that the lore had been expanded upon more #also wish they leaned more into the elemental factors but i think sentai does have trouble with consistency when it comes to that #and just have a lot of questions about the life crystals that were never answered and overall just wish they didn't play it so safe for #a series with such a premise like we have mythical beasts and space pirates but dinosaur sentai lore is more wild #don't get me wrong i liked it i just know they could've gotten more creative with it #i think that it shares quite a few themes and similarities to goseiger and ryusoulger and i might just talk about some overlaps in the #future but if you like goseiger or ryusoulger you might like gingaman and vice versa #though goseiger and ryusoulger can both be hit or miss i do care for them dearly and they're favs of mine so it was nice to see some overla #overall another good season and i will be moving back to kr next and then we'll see from there :)

nothing makes me block someone faster than them writing paragraphs about how much they hate odo in the tags on my posts about him

#tbh i feel like most ppl who hate him that much just severely misunderstand him #they just go ''ew he's a cop'' and refuse to accept that he's a nuanced character with trauma and regrets and a conscience #who was abused and manipulated and raised in a violent environment surrounded by ppl who think he's a freak #and was never taught how to handle his emotions in a healthy way. never felt like he was worthy of love #he's deeply flawed and he's done horrible things in the past but it haunts him. he hates himself for it #i truly don't believe he's a bad person. he was just forced into unfortunate circumstances #he's emotional and misguided and makes a lot of mistakes but he really does want to be a good person #he wants to help others and keep them safe even if it means hurting himself #he's a very complicated character but i feel so protective of him because i understand that despite all of this he's very fragile #all he needed was someone who loved and cared for him enough to steer him in the right direction and he didn't have that #he had to try to learn how the world works on his own and that went.....pretty badly to say the least #but it was either that or continue to be tortured and thought of as nothing more than an object #he was essentially like a scared animal just trying to survive #and much like a scared animal. they may bite but it's either in self defense or a sign of bad ownership. it's not entirely their fault #anyway i could go on and on and on forever about this topic #(and don't even get me started on how badly you all misinterpret the shit that happened with him and the founder)#but anyway. i love odo very much. odo haters dni

thinking about when i had such intense phantom limbs as a kid i told my math teacher about it

#like. I've had phantom wings since i was a CHILD and I'm not even kidding #i remember specifically saying 'i pretend to have wings so much that i can just Feel them there all the time now'#and he reacted in a way where he didn't want to tell me that's weird bc i was a Kid but also he totally thought it was really weird #which. was a reaction i knew very well at the time. that kind of quiet 'i dont know how to react to that but ok'#the trying not to make a weird face about it #so i shut up about it ever since! and then when i was 20 i found out what otherkin was #i remember them specifically being pegasus wings too we've always loved pegasi it was entirely bc of the barbie movie #i can't remember what the term is. for when you're A Fucking Lot of things all at once? poly something?#but we've always been like that #our first OC was plural coded and otherkin coded to the absolute max it was insane #and she was fully and entirely a self insert (at the time. nowadays she's her own guy)#but like. she could absorb souls on the brink of death and communicate with them inside her head #and she could shapeshift into any of those souls' forms at will #and she was supposed to be some kind of chimera #her 'true form' that i made of her was just all of her different forms crammed into one body #like. one owl wing one dragon wing. a dolphin tail. a fox paw and a pegasus hoof. scales mixed with fur. human shaped body. horns #if we weren't a system at the time then we were at least REALLY REALLY susceptible to becoming one we've always been Like This #and I'm willing to say i was an otherkin kid in the same way i say i was trans before i knew what that was #i didn't say I Am A Boy i just said I'm the closest a girl can get to being a boy (a tomboy)#i always leaned towards boys interests and boyish things. in the same way i taught myself to walk like a cat and meow convincingly #(to a point where i meowed once and my sister yelled at me to put the cat down if she's meowing. i was not holding a cat)#i didn't know what being otherkin was but i spent about as much time as possible being as animal as i could get #and i got offended when my friends didn't want to be animals with me. i had a lot of Horse Girl friends as a result #(hard to avoid horse girls in the middle of rural ohio tbh)

Thinking abt cole's way of watchfulness,,, its progression and origins,,, the way it is embedded so deep into his behavior that it's subconscious,

#ooc;; mun barks #sjfhdo my queue is emptying soon i havent been on here in days [sweats]#But Sight is so?? Very important for him #Which results in a lot of things including just how fcking readable he is when he was a kid before he makes a bad decision #How his eyes flick with intention and tells in this snap decision way before he learns to be sweeping #He didn't like blindfolds for a very long time -- similar reaction to people getting touchy with his face #kid gets quiet and you can see the tension jerking in his jaw - plowing rigid lines into his shoulders (23 yr old agent mccree will bite u)#These days at 39 the older dog will probably fall asleep in one like its a sleep mask :skull:#He always knew to watch bc his parents taught him to watch - u had to watch and read the animals and u had to watch and read people #And then it was hypervigilance in his orphanhood - this scrappy cobbled together thing of sitting in corners near back exits and scoping #building to something pointed throughout his gang career and justified further by BW - utilized and weaponized #But at some point he stopped looking when it came to people he learned to trust (and looked in a different way; looked in a loving way)#And i am thinking of his return to overwatch and how that hypervigilance returns in a way he doesn't like towards ppl he dont want to be #that way with and how #They're fleeting tells - the way he favors his prosthetic arm towards walls - brief tension to touch -#watching (even in that lazy way of his) but still watching #He relapses in the desert - forgets and remembers both at once

Being in that weird middleground of homeschooled and unschooled is very... Strange..!

#Like. I DID go to school! Until I was 9! And then I didn't anymore.#I don't know math but I am literate. Science eludes me and I don't understand basic functions. But I. Am literate!#Going back to learn things as an adult is so frustrating and embarrassing because these topics are only every framed for children #Understandably! I don't have a problem with that itself. However it makes it more obvious how far behind you are on everything #And it's exhausting. The progress is slow. I can't spend a school day's worth of time studying because I have responsibilities.#My mother made it clear that it is my job alone to learn these things. When my brother expressed his rage over it she said the same to him.#'If you're so upset by it why haven't you learned it yourself?' Something along those lines. It hurts a lot #Where do you start. I have over 10 years to catch up on. I know he was confused and overwhelmed as well.#Whether or not it is our responsibility to learn now.. It doesn't change that she should have taught us then.#But I can't talk about it. Or I will get yelled at or guilt tripped... 🙏

So when does french actually use "on"? I was taught back in school that it's equivalent to the german "man" which we basically use as a passive third passive singular kinda like "one shouldn't do that" (which obviously english doesn't use much but it exists)

But I'm now doing the duolingo french course from english and there they consistently translate "on" with "we". In some sentences both versions make sense, but I just got "Ils savent qu'on va en Australie" which the english translation "they know we're going to Australia" makes sense but the translation I learned back in school for this would be smth like "they know, one goes to Australia" (or "sie wissen, dass man nach Australien geht*)

Which.... Is a completely different meaning that doesn't make a lot of sense like "one goes to Australia"? What? Is that just a common thing one does? Would only make sense for like, idk if this is about middle class germans doing a gap year after high school, bc yeah sure there going to Australia sure is a common thing to do

But if my french teacher was wrong and it's actually always "we" then... When do I use "nous" and when "on"?

Languages are confusing and I am doing three way translations here trying to make sense of everything, it's hard lmao

#learning french #duolingo #langblr #I'm doing the french course from english bc originally the german version didn't have the stories and all that and i wanted those #it might have them now idk #and it's good bc i think it helps to connect all three languages in my mind #(it also hurts bc now i get false friends from BOTH like travail is not a false friend from german but it sure is from english bc travel)#but english has... a lot less nuance i think than french or even german #like i need to actively remind myself to switch between formal and informal and different genders and such #in a lot of the type in responses just so i practice doing both and don't default to tu #and in this case I'm just like... duolingo is just treating 'on' like another 'nous'#which... that's not what my teacher taught me but okay #she was wrong about many things anyway so idk
