me: the Christian God does not want me to find Him specifically

my gf: He’s afraid of what will happen when you do

my roman empire is that the chorus of Volny (Волны) by Molchat Doma was written in accordance with egor's mom's suggestion XD

"The chorus came from Shkutko’s mother, who wasn’t happy with the band’s lyrics and suggested they sing about nature and God."

Found a picture from middle school where I look like the poster child of the “ugly, awkward nerd” archetype with awful greasy, extremely short bangs cut straight across so as to accentuate the width of my very broad forehead; and I have the most arrogant, pompous, shit-eating smirk on my face.

That is… the perfect summary of my middle school years— Dear Lord. I most certainly did not have that look on my face for nothing.

Thinking rambly Thoughts about Athena and her genderfuckery and her relationships with Odysseus and Penelope.

Anyway I think it’d be neat if Athena functioned as both Odysseus’ wife and Penelope’s husband in each others absence (and also as a father to Telemachus). Not even necessarily in a romantic way, just a weirdly intimate but unknowable ThingTM they have going on with Athena

TFW your in a triad and one member is a virgin goddess whose definitely playing with you and your family’s lives like Barbie dolls

one thing about the ethubs moment where they talk about their feelings in wild life episode 1 is like, the immediate reframing of it as a soap opera. Like, it's not the perfect model of conflict resolution etc and they're still being bitchy but it's the closest these guys get to actually talking through an issue directly, and then some defensive instinct kicks in and they're like "what good drama! Look at us doing soap opera!! Oh Tango is a new character introduced to the scene what good timing!!"

And you can take this as meta and not real to the 'characters' (booooo whatever) especially because Etho takes a moment to address the audience and Bdubs says they're putting it on, but I think it's much more fun and interesting to me that they approached sincerity and actually talking about their feelings (it's about the horse but it's also about more than the horse. Etho even says it's an ego thing) and then they immediately distance themselves from how real that feels by making it into a fictional and heightened scenario. or uh whatever

*During the "enemy" phase of the "enemies to lovers" trope*

Logan, to the owner of a cafe just before leaving: I saw a dirty rat eating in the corner while I was trying to enjoy my food.

Wade, the owner who's already become enamored with Logan: I feel honoured to be the one to let you know that the event you experienced is called looking at yourself in the mirror.

some evidence suggesting Love Never Dies is fanfiction written by Erik:

the music does burn me when I listen to it, much like Don Juan

and Erik’s not really a lyricist, so…

Christine is the only one who pretty much stays in character from Phantom, but even she remains idealized

Raoul

Erik is the Man in Charge instead of some creep who writes annoying notes and begs via extortion to get his way

conveniently no one mentions he’s a murderer or anything

it ends in tragedy because this man struggles to imagine himself happy even in his dreams ("i always imagined she would be my dead wife" from Leroux's novel comes to mind)

he gets the girl for one (1) rowdy fun romantic tender night of sexy sex in which she holds him and caresses him and says nice things to himmm :')

he definitely didn't cry during or after sex AT ALL

he's basically the hero of the story and that ballet girl is the villain who, naturally, is also in love with him

RAOUL

Christine doesn't see his face when they get it on (see prior note explaining how he can't imagine himself a happy ending)

but she decides his soul is "pure" (her comments about his distorted soul in final lair REALLY hurt his feelings and he's been thinkin about that ever since)

Christine says she loves him at least three times

some evidence to the contrary:

the wildly juvenile musical composition of every single song

plus not nearly enough minor chords, atonality, etc.

this man wrote himself as a clown? the ring leader of all the other clowns?

bathing beauty

just throwing this out there, but I don't think Erik wants kids

no one mentions how badass of a murderer/angel of death/death incarnate he is

he doesn't do cool magic either

2am is when I have thoughts about voting, apparently.

States with reproductive rights on the ballot: https://reproductiverights.org/abortion-on-ballot-2024/

States/candidates that support LGBTQ+ rights: https://www.reckon.news/lgbtq/2024/10/your-pride-your-power-the-essential-lgbtq-voter-guide-for-2024.html

Ballotpedia has a rundown of the major ballot issues, sorted by type and by state: https://ballotpedia.org/2024_ballot_measures (do a search on page for your state name to find what's on your state's ballot!)

And here are the states that allow you to register and vote on the same day (double check your state's election website to confirm what you need to bring, and also whether you can do early register+vote)
