#many things can be true at once

[mumms-the-word]

listen ima say it too many of y’all write Halsin like a big serious daddy dom with no humor and not nearly enough of you are writing him as a silly willy nilly ol’ bear

please he is canonically a big fan of nature puns and dancing like a dad at a barbecue and being a big goof

let that man laugh and be goofy I beg you he loves ducks and bedtime stories and playing games and being silly and he deserves to smile more

@apocrypals ?

I think we can solve several problems at once if we just assume each member of the Trinity has a different fursona

Changed.

I didn't used to be like that. Crave things like that. Need things like that. I didn't used to want to be praised for cutting off little bits of my personality to make myself more appealing... more necessary, more available... more.

But I did.

Changed, like I said. From the inside out, and then some.

Knowing the person responsible gets to just walk away like nothing ever happened, and I get to sit here with the broken pieces in the rubble trying to figure out how to move on makes me sick.

Knitting a freehand bag and started wondering how often people even use patterns, anyway. So--how often do you use a pattern when you make things ? This include knitting/crochet/sewing/weaving/nalbinding/bobbin lace/tatting/etc but also things like woodworking, cooking, and baking. If you want to just pick the thing you do most often that's fine.

I personally do not use patterns as I find them far more confusing than just figuring out the construction of an item and simply making it. I do very occasionally browse ravelry for inspiration but have downloaded maybe 2. In the 5 or so years since I joined. And have followed exactly 1, which I modified every single aspect of. In my defense, dyslexia.

my two cents on nosferatu (2024) is that a lot of you people are painting your own interpretations as the word of god when in reality they are just one analysis of a work of fiction among many. like not to be too nuancepilled but sometimes you can have differing interpretations and approach works from different angles and the people who disagree with you aren’t necessarily wrong (let alone morally wrong), they just have a different approach?

I don’t even fully know why but “what do I do when I miss you so much?” / “Just wait, and pray desperately” was a knife to my heart in the best way.

just. having a continually very difficult time reconciling my physical and emotional realities right now. but i'm really really trying to internalize that living with my mom can be challenging without being constantly bad.

Im still so mad about the fact that baldurs gate 3 is over 100gb. Like it's just wasting space on my PS5 rn there is NO NEED for the graphics to be that bloated

Good Omens fandom come here hold my hand I'm going to be a bitch for a second. It is possible to be upset abt the homophobic implications that gay sex would somehow "taint" Aziraphale and Crowley's dynamic while also respecting people who are sex repulsed and see themselves in Aziraphale and Crowley and INVERSELY it is possible to desire more explicitly asexual representation in media and feel sometimes scenes should be taken at face value, while also respecting people who are gay, have sex, would like gay sex to be destigmatized in media, and interpret certain scenes as subtextually queer and erotic (ox rib scene. aim for my mouth shoot past my ear.), and ADDITIONALLY it is possible to desire nontraditional queerplatonic representation while also not being homophobic by saying a pair of canonical love interests should have just remained friends, and ALSO I feel like some of y'all are forgetting asexuality is a spectrum that does, in fact, include a lot of people who do have gay sex! Sexuality is not purely black and white and essentially a lot of u are engaging with very black and white thinking over a nuanced and delicate issue i fear. I'm not being super articulate here but there's a lot of layers to this is what I mean. OK im done being a bitch good night 👍

Wait you guys......

Mike and Will are in love

No because like they're just...they're just a wholesome childhood friends to lovers slowburn I'm gonna rewatch like "aww you don't know yet".

Like....

Mike and Will are in love.

They fell in love from ages 12-16(?). That's so cute. What the hell. I just randomly starting thinking about it like it's just some show I just heard about or something and I'm like "aw cute trope". What a cute trope wtf. That's adorable. Two twelve year old boys in the 80s and they fall in love over the course of many years as they grapple with internalized homophobia and homophobia in their small town? That sounds like a GREAT show where can I watch it? That's adorable.

Mike and Will are in love. And...that's just the premise. That's just the premise of their plot. If you came up to me after you watched episode 1 for spoilers and you were like "What happens to Lucas? Dustin? Mike? That girl they found? The kid who went missing?" I could just be like "Dustin gains confidence and becomes besties with Mike's sister's boyfriend after they break up, Lucas meets this girl who's introduced next season and they're really good for each other, the girl gets adopted by the police chief and then into the Byers and has a great found family and independence arc, and the boy who went missing survives and he and Mike fall in love!"

And that'd just be like...right. I'd just be telling you what happens.

there's been a lot of online discourse about female trad influencers online ever since the Ballerina Farm interview, and it is interesting to me how these female "trad" influencers always have to immediately be polarized; they are either inherently evil or a victim, with no space left for grey area

like the 180 the internet has done on Hannah Neeleman has been crazy, she went from being someone who lied and pushed an agenda online for money to a handmaid's tale character literally overnight, and to a degree I definitely do have sympathy for her and any woman who grows up in a high control religious situation. if they are actually believers, they definitely only have an illusion of choice when it comes to big life decisions for sure.

but it is also extremely uncomfy to me to completely strip her of her agency in this case, like idk.........I don't want to downplay the forces at work in Mormonism especially, I grew up evangelical and not Mormon so it also isn't my wheelhouse as far as experience. but taking away ALL of her agency also takes away her complicity in the things she *does* have control over, which do exist. idk. you know what i mean?

Ep 5!!!

what it’s like loving villainous characters & acknowledging their sympathetic qualities & (sometimes depending on the character) even possibility for redemption as well as enjoying fics exploring different sides of the character without needing to rewrite canon in my analysis & dismiss the entire source material including what makes the character interesting to justify being a fan of a complicated villain
