Hi I’d like to explain a very recent slew of events.

> Open tumblr and find a post of Caleb (artist on tumblr) being sad about his art

>> Checks notes: you’re there! agree with your comment. Wants to agree with comment in own comment.

>>> Goes to your blog to check for your name to refer to you properly

>>>> Finds the term IF: what the fuck is an IF???

>>>>> Investigates blog for meaning: Ah! Interactive Fiction. Like. Choose your own adventure? Or like audience based player choice making? Ooh, a survey. I can do that! This seems interesting.

>>>>>> Realize I don’t have enough context for the survey: Proceed to do more research by looking up names, information, and stuff you have already posted

>>>>>>> Brain gets attached: ah, yes, new fixation. Wonderful. /lh

>>>>>>>> Sighs begrudgingly: *follows* /lh

>>>>>>>>> Thinks: Hmm. This might make a fun ask. *about to send in ask* wait does it sound bad that I only followed because of the IF stuff? Maybe I should look at other posts— *sees post about Autism* OHO—

>>>>>>>>>> Hi.

No, the words "hermit" and "Hermeticism" aren't related.

Goodness, what a Mercury retrograde period it’s been.  Since it kicked in a few weeks back, I’ve been diving in deep into The Adocentyn Temple Almanac again (as is the custom now for me in MercRx periods), getting the code rehauled, adding in a slew of new features, and getting it ready for its second version later this year.  I’ve made some fantastic strides, and at this point it’s now just…

!! DO IT GABBY ILY /p

Glenn :] He's been 26 for a while now. He's an ace king, a short king. He's neither alive nor dead, but a secret, third thing. He runs a bar for ghosts and cryptids cause what else was he gonna do. He's the main character but also the only person in this story who has 0 magical abilities. He is so normal. apart from the curse.

He is like. Maybe the saddest guy ever his past is filled with tragedy but he's still vibing. He's just a friendly guy really

Hi! I tried looking through your questions tag but didn’t find the answer to my question.

I KNOW this label exists, but I can’t remember what it’s called. It’s essentially where you only feel romantic attraction to ONE person. Not one person at a time but like one person *ever*. I tried looking it up and looking through tumblr but to no avail :( So I was wondering if y’all or any of your followers would know what label this is?

Thanks in advance!

i swear i've seen the label but :( i can't remember it either, and it isn't in the AUREA all terms glossary :(

followers?

[strangesigils]

Hi! I know that sigils and such you’ve given permission to have them tattooed, but are we able to use sigils on, say, business cards? I was interested in using the I am Hired one for business cards but I wasn’t sure if you needed me to purchase the use before I did it! Thanks for your time and work your work is amazing!

Well to use it on a business card thats where legal rights stuff becomes an issue. For my sigils I have up for public use on this blog, the rights are not for sale, so I’m gunna say I can’t allow you to use my public sigils for your business cards. What I can recommend though, is have one copy of your business card and draw the sigil on it and charge it from time to time and it should project the intention on the rest of your cards the same way as having the sigil on every card

hi!!!! i super want one of the stretch goals—are we able to upgrade to that if we make a preorder now?

The way stretch goals function is if we hit a set number of preorders (eg, 150 for the enamel pin) the item in question will be automatically included in all physical orders as a bonus. They cannot be purchased individually, unless we end up having extras for leftover sales after preorders and shipping, although there is no guarantee of that.

[signalhill-if]

I AM NOT A NORMAL PERSON BUT DO YOU THINK LEVI WOULD LIKE ME—

(I’m gonna hyperfixate on this i can feel it akdkskdksk)

LMAO I'm glad you like him 😅

Look, Levi doesn't like most people. You can get him to not dislike you by listening to him and doing what he says. You can get him to really like you by not listening to him or doing what he says, but with purpose. That's a tough needle to thread, though, so don't be shocked if you mamage to piss him off.

may i... pwease... have date night with Mr. Michael Crew,,,,,, pwease,...,,, i appreciate u,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Date Night with Mike Crew

Mike’s a simple man, really. When compared to the Fairchilds, as both himself and the Fairchilds like to joke, he’s rather down to earth. His types of dates are more than half the time just a nice meal at home and a walk in a park. Sometimes he takes you to amusement parks for a thrill, but tonight is something fancier.

Tonight, the two of you are having dessert on the top floor of a 39 story building. Its always been a dream to go out to a restaurant and order nothing but the desserts, and now is the time. You wanted to go at a time when the sun would be setting over London, and Mike had to agree the view (at the table closest to the Western window) was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen.

Most beautiful after you! Don’t think he won’t add that in.

He orders a chocolate fondue set for the both of you, with a large amount of things to dip in. For himself, he gets a selection of the pies and cakes served, and you order a rather large chocolate lava cake with ice cream and fruits on top. The sweets all come out at staggered times, giving you both plenty of time to sample what comes out. On occasion, when Mike is too busy looking at the beauty of the sky, you try to steal as many bites of his as you can. He catches you the third time and takes a large bite from your ice cream as revenge. 

He asks you how your day has been, and he listens to you talk as he looks at you like the sun. He asks about your interests, your hobbies, your family and friends, and pets (if you have them.) All he wants is to hear you talk for as long as he can keep you talking. Your voice is the sweetest honey he’s ever had the pleasure of hearing. Mike could soak in the glow of You forever. Eventually, you ask him about his Avatar ventures, which prompts him to tell you about Simon’s and his newest scheme. 

“Funny you should mention that,” Mike starts. “There’s a private hot air balloon party going to be held in Switzerland, we’re planning on crashing it.” You raise an eyebrow, and he continues, “The balloons won’t crash. Probably. At least half of them won’t see the ground again. Anyway, Simon says he has a real good plan for what we can do over there.” He pauses for a moment to eat some of the shortcake in front of him. “Piece of cake, he says. I was actually wondering if... well... you wanted to come with. We could go early, have a nice vacation. Just the two of us, before and after the job.” 

You tell him to give you more of his cake and it’s a yes.

brain is buzzing

but at least we’re not as… physical about it anymore

i am both zooming through time and stuck in one second

i want this yet, and i fear the drop,

i hate this, and i need to stop

my head, it hurts

my thoughts, they ache

when i try to read, the world—it shakes

perhaps from the fact i can’t stop shaking myself

my eyes they sting, they throb out of my skull

there are a million lights in my head, but fog to obscure it all

do you know what it’s like to be so aware

but so distanced from everything that you can’t be?

it all feels distorted, like i cannot trust my senses

as if what is happening is a lie they’re telling me

i cannot trust my perception, for it isn’t true

yet it all seems like this is the only thing that could be

so i will lie down and shake in my bed

and keep thinking of thoughts and words and images

that are too far away to know

and i will stay quiet, if my body allows

because i would not like to disturb the others around

I’m trying to end this, these words i’ve written

but nothing feels right

and it doesn’t feel like i’ve written enough

the highs and the lows they lie to me

i once knew, at least, i had impulses, but now they are me

i find myself dissociating at the screen

my arm hurts from typing

when will i go back to being me
