#me: OKAY

[gloriousmonsters]

listened to most of The Art of War while hanging clothes at my job earlier and I'm going to just distill down the real advice for y'all without the twenty thousand similes and metaphors and such

Wars are expensive have them really fast

Don't kill your soldiers they need food and stuff

But sometimes put your soldiers into inescapable life or death situations because that's how you really get them to be workin' hard instead of hardly workin', y'know

Have more guys than the enemy and be smarter. The best way to win a war is to have every single favorable condition for winning a war. Hope that helps

DO NOT fight in a salt marsh

If your boss gives you a stupid order, don't follow that order

Be 15 min early to the battlefield

Attack the enemy's weak points. But also they might be faking weaknesses so don't attack if they seem weak. But attack their weak points. But also-

For the love of god don't let anyone read omens

Ppl will literally bend over backwards arguing that Luz’s themes reflect Evelyn/Caleb, characters never truly seen on screen, completely ignoring the fact her themes are parallel to Belos, a person who so desperately wants to be the hero of the story that he becomes the villain. Luz’s character accepts the lessons Belos refused. She was able to separate her wants and fantasies from reality despite being in her ideal fantasy world, despite learning magic, despite wanting to be a “chosen one” and simply doing what was right because what was right needed to be done.

Evelyn wasn’t meant to “save” Caleb, Philip was, but he was so stuck in his ways, he couldn’t accept his brother for who he was and killed him to “correct the plot” of the story Philip had created for them, forcing Caleb to haunt the narrative the. whole. time. (which was done so well with the time we had idc wht ppl say)

But Luz was able to accept the lessons offered to her and Belos and as a result “Caleb” and the order between the two realms are finally “at rest.”

Luz is what Philip could have been!!!! With the choices she makes, there’s no one left to haunt the narrative. The story’s over. She wasn’t a “chosen one” like she wanted, she was just there when she needed to be, and she did what she felt was right. Her actions were selfless not selfish, like Belos

If Evelyn needs a character she thematically pairs with, lmao she’s literally Flapjack. Flapjack is the ones who really places the wedge between Hunter and Belos, just like Evelyn places the wedge between Caleb and Philip. So, when Belos crushes Flapjack, he says goodbye to Evelyn. What’s amazing though about Flapjack’s death, is this time “Evelyn” (who in the pictures fights Philip) is actually able to save “Caleb’s” life, finally completing the end of her story.

We don’t need to see the Wittebane-Clawthorne story (even if it’d be amazing), because Luz (Philip), Hunter (Caleb), and Flapjack (Evelyn) complete it. The old trio “failed” but the new trio succeeds.

And honestly because the old trio “failed”, seeing their story in pieces and not getting the complete flashback, is such a good move because history favors the victors, so Belos version being the only version is 👌👌👌👌👌👌

But people stuck solely on shipping keep ignoring The Point. The story was so good why is everyone being mean about it 😭😭

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?

MY FAVORITE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS' PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!!!!

[inkskinned]

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!

So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.

Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.

Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!

Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)

He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!

I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!

Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:

hey did you know??? that if you stop stretching and maintaining mobility in your body then it goes away?? things get tight and you can't move the way that you used to??? and when you decide to try getting a stretch routine going that the first week fucking sucks because you keep going 'damn i used to be able to do this no problem' and then you have to switch gears and be kind to yourself and just focus on getting better from here instead of berating yourself for dropping the good habits in the first place??? and your body never stops aging so you gotta keep taking care of it and sometimes you gotta take care of it extra in certain areas because of things that happened when you were younger and it's boring and sometimes hurts but it's so necessary???

i am yelling this at myself right now i am going through An Experience (trying to get into a routine of body maintenance again for my physical and mental health)
