What is it about a sad, pathetic man who thinks he's a monster learning to love himself through the love of a somewhat feral personified ball of sunshine that's just so damn appealing?

Got to show off my embroidery work at a family party tonight and while it made me indescribably happy to explain my passion project to everyone, I probably looked like this while doing it

[antaripirate]

everyone shut up i’m busy thinking about lila lying awake on the spire thinking about kell

meanwhile he’s sitting in his old ass chair back in london thinking about her. pair of fucking idiots.

Oh, it got there much quicker than I expected! I’m so happy your piece made it safely and that you love it! That line really hits like a sucker punch in the middle of such an upbeat sounding song and I find the older I’m getting the more and more I’m feeling the effect of it. Thanks so much for sharing, I’m so happy to see this! 

I hate posting my face here, but it's a special occasion my little embroidery thingy from @kell-be-belle is here and I'm 😭😭😭😭 I thought it was funny that the only art piece I was able to buy from the charity sale was the ONE lyric from Pruning Shears that sends me into an existential crisis, but I don't care I love it so much it's so beautiful I'm so happy AHAGDHSHVWAAAAHH

Today was gearing up to be a bad day, but this genuinely fixed everything, I am very happy thank you so much I'm gonna claw at furniture /pos

this entire chapter of kaladin accompanying shallan and adolin on their date is so funny. kaladin’s more annoyed at his third wheeling than the couple is, they’re legit including him in their conversations and answering his questions happily while he’s sitting there wanting to punch them.

meanwhile wit is in the front like ‘you should all flirt 😌’

disclaimer: i absolutely adore rebels (including season 4), but that doesn't mean some of it wasn't absolutely hilarious when you think about it for too long

(( HELLO LOVES!! I am tentatively coming back! ))

So things have been happening a fair bit. My own health hasn't improved any, in fact I currently have another chest infection, but I spent last week at the seaside enjoying a last little summer heat wave and it was just lovely.

We're still in the temporary flat, but it's looking like it might only be a couple of weeks until our own is sorted and we can move back, though I've got mixed feelings about that at the moment.

Things with Mum are okay-ish. After 7 and a half years(!) she finally has a fully official epilepsy diagnosis, from her neurology team. They've upped her seizure meds a little bit, though that hasn't made a whole lot of difference yet but they're probably going to keep upping it until they get the right level. She has a CT scan next week (postponed from a few weeks ago) a brain wave test the week after, and an MRI appointment incoming. Her memory problems are still getting worse, and she still needs a lot of looking after, but that's just our life now.

As far as things here go, I plan to work my way back into things slowly. I haven't written anything in way too long, and haven't even opened tumblr since I last checked in here. I'm probably going to make a few changes to the muse list, maybe dropping some muses that I don't really use that much anyway. I'll pick up some of my current threads, but I also think a new starter call is probably a good idea. Or some memes, to get the muses warmed up again.

I'll likely be cleaning out my following list as well, if we weren't already writing together before my little impromptu hiatus I'll probably be soft blocking you, just for my comfort.

I can't promise to be around every day, but for now I can aim for at least a couple of times a week.

And if you've actually read all this lol I love and appreciate you all so much. Thank you for your patience and understanding <3

Now, have a couple of pictures - first, my fluffy son.

Second - some seagulls on the beach last week

Okay I realize saying this is exposing myself on main so everyone has to be super niceys to me but I was reading an omegaverse BL where the omega was the top/dom and ALL the comments were complaining about how he was manipulative (I won't say he wasn't) but my issue is that the omega did the EXACT same things alphas do in 99% of other omegaverse BL, and when that happens it's always seen as hot or even caring when the alpha then takes care of the omega (the omega takes care of the alpha in this BL) and it has to go WAY too far to be considered rape, but suddenly, when the omega does any of this, the tolerance for what is manipulative and rape suddenly becomes WAY lower and just I feel insane for so many reasons because

1. It still IS rape in many of those alpha top cases but it's considered "acceptable"—like, it's harder to find (omegaverse) BL that DOESN'T have a level of noncon in the ship's dynamic, at least initially

2. People are somehow actually siding with and buying into the MADE-UP GENDER POLITICS OF A GAY SEX FETISH GENRE

3. My fujoshis in Christ, YOU ARE READING THE NONCON FETISH GENRE. THIS IS WHAT 99% OF THE GENRE IS. YOU OPEN THE BAG THAT SAYS "THIS IS NONCON FETISH CONTENT" THEN COMPLAIN IT FETISHIZES GAY MEN

Like to be clear, no I don't think it's okay, but you have to go through SO many BL to find ones that aren't weird, meaning you read a LOT of weird ones, and my frustration/absolute amusement is that somehow the fictional gender politics ended up getting to people and kind of proves how people really do use the genre to fetishize gay men because the moment someone you think is supposed to take it up the ass and there isn't a gap moe factor (like a delinquent being the uke/bottom) people lose their shit and can't handle their gay men fetish content not fetishizing gay men correctly.

(I'd also like to be clear I think people have the right to read and write whatever, like, women enjoying M/M is completely fine, but there is a genuine issue of fetishizing gay men to the point it influences how you see/treat IRL gay men, that there's a balance to be found, etc., it's a nuanced issue)

i start classes again tomorrow n the urge to find a new hobby to be active on a different social media platform is taking me over. wdym i wanna post gifsets again

[kell-be-belle]

please don't post early access stuff in the main tags

I'm sorry anon, but I'm honestly not sure what's going on anymore. A previous anon told me to use the #tmagpvague tag when talking about early access so I incorporated it in my posting, no problem. I've been careful to either keep things as vague as possible for that tag or taking extra precautions with things that have spoilers (Warnings, appropriate tags, read mores) and none of it has been enough? At this point, I'm reluctant to post anything at all because there always seems to be a problem. I really want to participate in the fandom and I'm trying to be as considerate as possible, but I'm just not sure what to do anymore here. It seems like no tags are appropriate tags.

[kell-stitches]

I'd really love to try making a new embroidery inspired by The Horror and the Wild especially because it's actually a leap year. Here are the songs that I haven't made anything for yet.

I genuinely think if it weren’t such a dead give away to their identities, Kell and Lila would speak English/High Royal in public all the time, just so they could talk about people around them without being heard or understood.

‼️Also the fact that English is effectively their own little language on the ship that they only speak privately to each other makes me wanna cry like a baby!!! Like that is so fucking intimate that they do that🥹 I could write essays‼️

Anyway…Kell and Lila talking in English in a bar where no one else speaks it so that they can chat shit is so funny to me. Imo absolutely something they would do.

HOW DO YOU SORT YOUR MOSS. I SORT MINE BY TASTE AND ABILITY TO GROW POISONS.

Interesting!

I tend to group mine by effect, which I suppose is not too dissimilar from your method. Their effect also tends to correspond to their rarity-- not always, but often enough that it may as well be sorted that way, too...

I will admit, I have not sampled many of my ingredients in their raw form. Typically, they undergo a transformation of sorts before ingested... Do you have a favorite?

the way i’ve been in dublin for 72 hours and not hit up a single bookshop is a CRIME
