Not me crying sad-upset-angry tears whenever i see an endeavor apologist, or him interacting with any of the kids in a positive light, i HATE that fictional man, he does not deserve their love or respect or forgiveness

dude i fucking love how this server has communication as its premise and built into its fucking core. i fucking love that. bc it's one thing to be like 'this server is about multilingual communication and cultural exchange!!' bc that could present in any NUMBER of ways but like. with the federation and the eggs and a common shared goal they all decided WE ARE A TEAM. and like, ok,

when baghera was sus of jaiden because of the thing when pomme died and jaiden had been the reason baghera left her side for the only time that day, i wasn't even worried. i wasn't worried bc i was like "we just wait. because i know they will TALK TO EACH OTHER." and I WAS RIGHT. TWO DAYS LATER IT WAS ALL CLEARED UP AND BAGHERA WAS HELPING HER OUT WITH CUCURUCHO

and the ordo theoritas is functionally a secret organization. it would be SO EASY to gatekeep the lore, on grounds of "the federation is always watching and anyone could be a spy" and yet the ordo theoritas says that, like bad SAYS THAT, says OUT LOUD, "anyone could be a traitor" and then turns around and goes "hey person i've had a few days' worth of conversations with, here's a detailed rundown of everything we've learned about the island's mysteries, and the secret location of the ordo base". SOFIA was supposed to be secret from everyone, and for a little bit she was. but now like, the ordo theoritas is showing her to everyone. it would be SO EASY to hide things and to gatekeep things but they just. don't do it. here's the supercomputer!!!! don't forget to grab her waystone so you can come back anytime!!!

bad learns something. "i need to tell forever/cellbit/baghera". forever figures out a new way to protect the eggs, and he gets it to everyone within days. cucurucho tries to have a secret conversation and the entire server knows about it almost instantly and there are three people buried in the walls reading the subtitles and giving each other meaningful glances

i love it. i love it. miscommunication plotlines drive me up the fucking wall and the fact that i wasn't even SCARED when jaiden and baghera could easily have angled into an angsty tangled web of that and instead just MET WITH EACH OTHER AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING AND CLEARED THE AIR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY was so fucking breathtaking. and this is a multilingual server. this is a MULTILINGUAL SERVER. i love it. i love it so much i want to cry. it's a server for communication and people Communicate, it would have been SO EASY to slip into monolingual factions and stick to the familiar but they DIDN'T. they DIDN'T. WE GET TO HAVE A THEORY TABLE WITH SO MANY LANGUAGES SITTING AROUND IT. we get to have conspiracy walls in every language!!!! idk sometimes i forget how fucking CRAZY all this is, like the scale of what they've accomplished

so yea thank you to quackity and the qsmp admins for this, and thank you to the streamers for hearing 'this is about connections' and taking it ENTIRELY to heart, and also thank you to whoever the fuck decided to give quackity's school class the job to look after a fucking egg to learn about parenting. bc holy shit. holy shit.

If you're going to reblog my (admittedly very ADHD) post about, to borrow someone else's excellent summation, bees in the brain, to say 'OP check your medications', have you considered:

the fucking construction site next door has been jackhammering w/ those huge excavator-mounted jackhammers for up to 10 hours every day for the last 2 weeks (including saturdays) and it's literally physically harming me. i can feel my blood pressure rising & stress hormones flooding my body every single time they start. the impacts are traveling through the ground (naturally) as well as the air so 1) there's no hiding in the basement, 2) you can feel them even if you use earplugs/ear protectors, 3) they exist in multiple timbres/tones/frequencies, the onsets of which are slightly offset from each other. like a horrible echo.

they also shut off the water with no warning last week. they shut it off again yesterday too tho we had warning this time. i've been barely functioning, in a half-coherent haze any time the jackhammer is going, so i drove away to try to find a quieter place. i was going to go into town but i got like 15 min in that direction and realized i was ? having a migraine? ?delirious? so i turned around and went home and thankfully the hammering had stopped. but i still felt incoherent and dissociative so i took a nap.

and accidentally slept for six fucking hours. which did not help i gotta tell ya.

the weather has been so so nice and i would love to have the windows & doors open to get some fresh air but. there's just the overpowering BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG chkchkchkchkchkchkchk vvvRRRRRRRRRMMMWWRRMRMRMMMRMMVVVVVMMVMMMVMMMRRRRRVVVVVvvvvvvmmm

Mortal Kombat: Fatality of the Heart

Coming... Never

[coriander-candlesticks]

I realized recently (read: today as I'm writing this) that while I associate certain specific fiber arts with Athena (knitting, weaving, dying, and spinning), I associate crochet specifically with Apollo, though Athena's there too, of course. I think it's because it's more free-flowing: I can freehand something with crochet more easily than I can with knitting, both because I've known it longer and because there are fewer Things To Learn, unlike knitting which has a million different techniques that may seem interchangeable but actually aren't and that all affect the end product in a pretty big way (looking at you decreases & bind-offs). Because I can free-hand crochet more easily, and I grew with it the same way I did with drawing, they have similar vibes. Knitting and weaving, on the other hand, have steeper learning curves imo and are way more structured- and I associate more solid (dare I say rigid) structure with Athena. Embroidery and cross-stitch are kinda in their own floating category, maybe because I do them less and therefore have weaker associations with them over-all. I associate hand-sewing largely with Hestia, though again, Athena is always also there, because I associate it with mending, altering clothing, and making home items (ex the quilted pillowcase I've been mentally turning around in my head for the last few weeks).

Interestingly, I find printmaking specifically to be associated with both Athena and Apollo. It leans into the latter's domain, of course, the same way crochet does Athena's, but the structure you need in order to layer & print properly without hurting yourself, ruining equipment, or fucking up you edition seems reminiscent of Athena. Dyeing, especially making & using natural dyes, feels very much like an Athena thing despite it 1) feeling similar to painting or using inks and 2) being a trial & error process that's honestly pretty free-flowing if you approach it a certain way (especially if you do solar dyeing, which doesn't necessarily need some of the more meticulous processes you need to boil-dye something).

Also on the note of me playing dragon age origins and FINALLY managing to play past red-fucking-cliffe, I'm really starting to dislike alistair

He's so fucking whiny and I just saw a post talking about how he just showed the whole weight of the world really??? On this rookie warden and then just keeps on whining about every harsh decision you have to make??? Because he "didn't want to do it"??? Goooooods what a little bitch!!!!

TIL drag creatures are a thing and i just learned something about myself... i guess i now know what to call this costume i've been workshopping for forever.

okay but fr, now that i have a moment to chill with all the craziness of moving can i be real?

i fucking love this community. i feel like i'm always learning something new and delightful. and sometimes that means learning something about myself.

sometimes it's learning a new way of expressing myself, like it/its pronouns.

sometimes it's learning that something i feel has a word for it because there's a community. there are other people who feel the way i feel. i'm not alone, and i don't need to hide it or be embarrassed.

like the first time i learned what being bi was, then pan, then nonbinary, agender, bdsm, etc. now a facet of drag i didn't know existed. so much makes sense and i am practically vibrating with the need to research more into it.
