I made this tiny jar in ceramics class and added a cork plug on top. It’s to keep magical potions in for Wizards, Sorcerers and Witches. But I always wanted to wrap a small rope around it but in a cool and fancy way. Well one that can tie to my belt or sumthin maybe or just hold the cork down. Anyway if you have some idea share it with me any help appreciated! Thanks

It Hardly Counted

It Hardly Counted by Michael DoyleIn all my time in the dreadful warI felt certain of something moreA lot of horrible things occurredLooking back they've all blurredThese horrors handled with graceAre the worst, most of us faceTo know that man's inhumanity to manIs worse than most ever canEndure or manage to live throughWithout the cost being overdueThese trouble that we inflictAre the truth of…

One has no right to inflict one's sadness on other people. And no right, of course, to pretend that one isn't sad. One just has to accept one's grief and one's absurd attempts to be a stoic. Accept, accept...

from Island by Aldous Huxley (1962)

I love the word "inflict". It's like bringing something upon someone, or causing something to happen to someone, but clearly maliciously and with cruel intentions, and the thing being inflicted is only intended to cause suffering.

Even funnier if it is used in mildly inappropriate contexts. Inflict bureaucracy upon someone. The person who accidentally clicked a subscribe link somewhere in an email gets inflicted with marketing. You did not Blaze something, you inflicted your shitpost upon thousands of unsuspecting victims.

Actually, Blaze is a wizard spell actually called "Inflict Shitpost", with a wide target area.

Tumblr should update the description, I think.

“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

Violence makes the homo-eroticism of many “male” genres invisible; it is a structural mechanism of plausible deniability.”

–Tarantino’s Incarnational Theology: Reservoir Dogs, Crucifixions, and Spectacular Violence. Kent L. Brintnall.

Brennan’s talked before about how as a poor young adult he lived in New York and struggled with food security. He tells a story of going to frozen yogurt places for free samples and a cheap dumpling spot because it was a lot of food.

His opinions on food and his described behaviours around food make a lot of sense in that context. He may be successful now and can be assured he can eat again when he’s hungry, but it appears he has legitimate trauma around his experiences with poverty because what he’s humorously describing is a trauma response. His mind hasn’t gotten rid of the anxiety of “I’m eating now so I better make it count because I don’t know when I will again.”

Because he’s a comedian he manages to frame it as a joke, but there’s certainly an underlying sadness. It also informs Evan Kelmp’s characterization. Capitalism is the root issue here and poverty is state-sanctioned economic abuse.

Anyway, I hope he’s doing well and taking care of himself.

What if? Skully has been following Yuu this entire time? Or what if he’s a visiting ghost during Halloween and sees you.

Imagine this, Skully who used to be part of Ramshackle dorm, sees you. What’s this? Someone of the Ramschackle dorm? It’s been so long since someone’s been part of his dorm.

He could be following you through your adventures from the beginning and protecting you/watching over you or he’s there because he’s curious about you during his visits to the campus.

He wonders why do you seem vaguely familiar. He doesn’t remember you.

He’s there with you when you get sucked into the book.

That’s why Skully calls you a kindred spirit. Thats why he feels a connection to you more than anyone else. Why you wake up in his arms. Why he choses to take you with him.

And then at the end? When everyone returns.

Skully remembers. Ah, it was you and these students. He remembers when he was sucked into that book at a young age.

He remembers the melancholy of Halloween back when he was alive. But one day, he felt the need for change. He wanted to spread a different kind of Halloween. Where everyone had fun and merriment.

So that’s why. It was because of his friends that he was able to enjoy a new type of Halloween.

It was because of them that he became known as the King of Halloween.

He might have not remembered back then. But he remembers now.

He’s happy that his friends are enjoying Halloween joyously.

He’s happy that you are having a good time.

When he sees you overcome with emotion, he lays a kiss on your hand.

Smiling.

He hadn’t remembered until then the reason why but that feeling of excitement and delight stayed with him all through his life till even now in the afterlife.

His time made precious because of you and the others.

So there’s no need to cry.

Truly.

He’ll always be with you.

all those posts that are like 'wilson is just as off his fucking rocker as house' are RIGHT and they need to say it LOUDER because why was wilson's solution to pull house out of a suspected grief spiral to pretend to play a mind game while pretending to secretly playing a different mind, which in turn was another mind game designed to engage and distract his boybestfriend by giving him a little puzzle . and then it WORKED . thats not a normal thing to do
