My uncle says he won't be staying the night but he has over a 2 hour drive from his house to ours and then to unload it all, plus drive 2+ hours home just sounds miserable
#we're going to get the guest room ready just in case#but now we need to clean the guest room#personal#my grammy died#my uncle is coming to visit

the relationship between the chantry and the mortalitasi in nevarra is SO fucking funny. the carefully politic and civil syncretism of it all. the ‘I’ll refrain from scratching your back to bloody shreds if you refrain from scratching mine :)’. left hand politely averting its eyes from whatever the fuck the right hand is doing merrily up to its elbow in entrails because it usually knows what it’s doing I guess. speak softly, and have an army of the restless dead ready to go banapants horrorshow bonkers if you don’t get to tend to them. We Receive: being able to keep doing our goth thing mostly unimpeded. You receive: us not raising the great majority to protest your unwelcome meddling. render unto the chantry what is the chantry's and unto the watchers what is theirs (or, with all possible courtesy you understand, else…)
#dragon age#nevarra#mortalitasi#a watcher's work is never done#The maker may take the souls but someone still has to care for the graves#the necropolis is such a trump card for the nevarran mages when you think about it -- try to annul the mortalitasi?#soon you'll have some VERY unpleasant things starting to come up from underground and no one who knows how to deal with it#that place has grown and been built upon itself for like a thousand years at this point hope you're good with surprises with no guide#it's not grey wardens in a blight levels of immunity granted but it's up there. thedas realpolitik hits different idk what to tell you#the idea that the ‘higher dead’ are the original souls lingering after death must be getting spicily close to heresy right#even more so than the mortalitasi usually get I mean#Poor Cassandra. Imagine being born a jock among goth nerds no wonder the religion got to her#if her parents had lived she could have been a hotheated dashing noble getting in righteous duels but instead. her uncle. alas.#I jest but I really am so interested in seeing more of nevarra to understand even more of where she's coming from originally#I'm visiting my wife's folks for the first time I'm really excited :) (I do think my adaar would find it fascinating actually so. sry cass)

It feels like getting pulled underwater—the sharp sideways tug, the slight drag of resistance, then falling, falling, till the waves close over his head. But Logan can breathe when he rights himself again, even if the light has a watery filter to it and the voices have a distant echo. // Sometimes Logan gets a glimpse of guys who've been long gone from the teal, clustered at the far end of the bench or sitting in the box across the ice. He heard Jason's voice in the hallway loud and clear, that infectious laugh. And he could have sworn he saw Raffi fucking Torres getting out of a car in the players' lot. Something tells him not to look up the rosters.
Commissioned @impmakesart to make a painting based on the Sharks' Cali Fin hype reel + the flip side by frausorge. Imp was amazing to work with and I could not be more emotional about this piece and so, so pleased with how it turned out!! 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️ Commission him here. Thank you Imp!
#as i am sure has been very obvious i have been incredibly unwell this year for a variety of reasons#and i read that fic right after my uncle died suddenly and unexpectedly so i was thinking a lot about hospice while i was reading it#and i was going to about 8 million sharkuda games per week to just not be at home bc everything has fallen apart there#(also for a variety of reasons. but there is a lot of intense grief over my stepsister's death involved)#so today having signed a lease on an apartment on the entire other side of the country to be closer to career stuff and#get a fresh start and a hopefully happier and more stable life (even if a huge move and a career change makes me nervous)#while also the first thing said to me is that another family member had passed this morning (expectedly) and a relative#who became very sick recently (unexpectedly) and who due to advanced age does not have a great prognosis#it became a uniquely precious gift to have this completed and sent to me by imp this afternoon.#the fic + the ensuing games of seeing that reel hit a very tender part of me that has dealt with death and instability my entire life#and it is amazing to see an image of logan's similar loss and instability so perfectly realized!!#his troubled face!! the way it feels both underwater and in another world!! the lights all around that could be anything!!#looking up at the indistinct faces of his teammates who could be so so many people at this point but who he misses nonetheless!!#also PLEASE zoom in on the mist - the texturing and color gradients are SO cool. and the reflection on his helmet is so sick#the color scheme in this is freaking amazing and i just love it all so much man!!!#anyway i don't have a concluding thought. i was going to make this into a puzzle (i'm back on my bullshit)#but i will probably get it printed and framed too#if any of u come visit me know. know that your chances of seeing haunted logan couture are non-zero#and he could be ANYWHERE#art#san jose sharks#logan couture

#okay random story time i don't know why im narrating this or how i even stumbled upon this memory rn#but i generally do sad vents in the tags and for a change this is a funny one#so back in highschool (i say highschool but i mean junior college) i used to visit this park near my house a lot#i was an sg kid back then and the thing about parks there is that they're kinda beach-parks and they have the best cycling/running tracks#they're also really massive parks so i used to go often. sometimes bicycling. other times walking. yeah. the park was like my sanctuary#anyway. there are quite a few bike rental areas in the park and there was a cute lil shop next to this one particular rental place#and they sold like biscuits and water and icecreams and stuff and i went there a lot#and on one particular day i went there and there was this guy around my age part timing at that shop#now again this might be culture specific bc i dont see it in india but part timing in uni/pre-uni is pretty common is sg#a lot of shops and restaurants employ teenagers to twenty something ppl for part time jobs... anyway im just adding context#point is that i had walked to the park with my mum that day and she told me to go buy a couple icecreams so i went to the shop#and i saw this guy around my age and like. not to be a simp but this dude was so pretty?#like he saw someone had come to the counter so he looked up and shot a smile and i thought i got slapped by sunlight#i could spend the next several lines going on about his pretty tan skin and his glowing raven eyes but this is pathetic enough so ill stop#anyway he saw me and smiled really wide (customer service smile- i thought to myself) and i smiled back and asked for icecreams or whatever#and then this guy started getting chatty right. so he was all 'you come here (to the park) often right? ive seen you with your bike a lot'#see now. the problem with me is that i always think im bothering people. this poor dude was attempting to make conversation#and i was replying with one word answers#and i wasn't even realizing that he didnt want that. bc he kept asking more questions and i. kept. shutting them down.#then when he gave me the icecream he was all 'are you here alone? icecream alone is no fun... i could keep you company if you want..?'#which. he was being really cute about right. but because im so fucking dense i was all 'oh no i came with my mom actually'#and he went 'aw man' in this really cute but faux sad way which i didnt understand at the time and i left and then#after three full fucking days. i realized this man was tryna hit on me?#and then i went to the park like a week later and he was gone. poof. i even thought of asking the uncle in charge of that place#then i got too embarrassed and chickened out#yeah so turns out my neurodivergence neutralizes any sort of rizz that comes my way#i could've been chilling with a cute boyf rn but no😩 this is my destiny#megumi in the tags

DSKJGKJDGHGDH tbh i just took a rather common name + hairstyle from where i live 😭 she'd probably go by a different name eventually but unfortunately that also requires me to come up w that. so. 👍
in the meantime heres her and aiza hanging out in town :]
#asks#anonymous#dress code rules where im from or at least in my own experience were pretty strict sjkdjkdghg#the combined middle school-hs i dropped out of ive seen guys with hair just a bit too long be brought to the front of the class and#get it cut by the teachers themselves after several warnings. honestly was pretty uncomfortable#the one in the doodle was a wig she borrowed from aizas own trans uncle!!! hes a stylist and also ends up giving her a lot of his own old#clothing whenever she comes visit with aiza :]#i think when shes older though rafi'd have shoulder length ish hair :0#duck ocs#rafi#aiza

hate going for christian weddings sometimes because i always see the prettiest women with the ugliest men, the sermon is always some shit about wives being slaves (but not like bad slavery, mutual slavery except the husband is a benevolent master which makes it okay) and making babies for their husband, the music is always lame, the mc is always weird and obnoxious, and older women keep fucking asking me when it's gonna be my turn and never take no for an answer.
#mine#personal#brief storytime in the tags#one of my family friends got married and i was happy she was happy#her parents are like an aunt and uncle to me#i was happy to share that moment with them#we cried and laughed together#and my friends#their other daughters were on the line and looked gorgeous#it was just beautiful watching us all grow up in a way and move on to “the next” together#BUT#im a pastor's kid#and my dad loves weddings#he drinks them in whenever he can now especially because they make him happy and he's had to attend a lot more funerals this year#he's been burdened a lot by how many people he's had to bury and how many hospital visits he's had to do#so i was happy to see him happy too#it just all felt so bittersweet to me#because i know how badly my parents want this for me and for themselves#there was a daddy-daughters dance at some point and i could feel my dad beaming beside me watching that#and i was a little sad about it because i was like im never gonna give you that#this could be the best thing i could ever give you and i will never give you this#i can never kneel at an altar in front of a pastor and swallow that sermon#i would never marry a man in my generation#if i married a woman you and almost the entire tent filled with people that watched me grow up would not attend#my happiest day would be another funeral for you#it was worse because im kind of a small celebrity in this community because of my parents and their siblings who are politicians#so people i barely knew kept coming up and asking me when it would be my turn and how they so looked forward to the day#and i was like i love that we're a community here and i missed the pestering of aunts since i left church#but at the same time i was glad to remember why i left#there is no freedom to be myself at all with them because all they do is project their beliefs and ideas on me because that's what children

might have a parisian girl era soon. we’ll see
#uncle who lives in belgium knows i graduated a year early + currently studying for the mcat#and he’s practically begging me to visit him in belgium and study there#and belgium is only around 2 hours away from paris so you best believe id be taking the train there every day#the thing is i study full time & only have a minimal part time job on the side so he and my mom would have to foot that bill#and idk i’d feel so bad. i’m already so spoiled. like i never had to work a day in my life but im 21#it’s very much in arab culture to spoil the daughters like this but still !!!#it just feels like i have to put my big girl pants on and start saving + relying on myself more & more when it comes to that#so that’s probably what i’ll be doing. plus i have research + my neuro internship here and i cant just drop that#but once i get a research publication in a few months + save up my own money im seriously considering j putting myself on a plane & going#i’m sure he and my mom would have no problem paying but it feels wrong. this is one thing i rly wanna pay upfront myself i think#but if i do manage to pull it off it’d be so cool bc i rly wanna see him#and i rly wanna bust out the 8 years i have in french#p

been thinking about inheritance and legacy and how I'm never gonna really know half of my family
#most of the time i'm fine with just Rejecting half of my ancestors#cause what other choice do i have...#i carry this last name i'm prob gonna keep it forever#and i don't want anything else from them#not after everything#but then some part of me still wants to know what they were like#like my mom and my grandma will sit me down and tell me stories of our ancestral house/land and the things their family did#and like i could go visit that place and be like. that's Mine (not rlly cause i'm a girl but. if they weren't misogynists it would be fine)#and then my dad's history is just Blank#i think i've heard him talk about one of his uncles and his granddad once#but that's it#we don't Talk about them#as if that erases them#and it kind of does but also#it would be nice to know where i come from

Must be rough losing them so young huh?
shadowbelly looking at lil memorial graves of his parents ft itty bitty roachkit unaware of sad things
#shadowbelly#roachshade#lakeclan#warrior cats#warriors oc#hidden lore#i found out today that the man who basically was a second father to me passed away and i guess this mindless doodle was a way for me to cop#some pond lore for you: my dad was an addict when i was growing up and he didnt always know how to properly deal with that#and also be a parent at the same time when i was visiting him + he was in an abusive marriage#so when things were just really bad he would take me to the house of my 'aunt' and 'uncle' who very much helped raise me and take care of m#i have very fond memories of them#and my 'uncle' actually made sure he got a motorcycle so i could ride with him specifically at my dads own memorial ride#he had since stopped riding bikes but it was important to him that HE be the one i ride with because ive ALWAYS been like his fourth kid#he also is the only adult on my dads side that i came out as nonbinary to#i didnt even have to come out he just asked if i was trans/nonbinary and i said yeah and he just said cool ill always love you#idk they think his death was sudden like a heart attack or something but we wont know till after today#my 'aunt' is letting me keep some of his ashes in a necklace so i can have one for both my dad and my “dad”#ill be okay but it just feels really strange right now#we didnt see each other much after i grew up but he made sure i knew that if i ever needed anything i only had to ask#doesnt seem fair to lose two dads in less than three years but i guess it is what it is

Being compared to relatives you never got the chance to meet us such a specific heart wrenching type of love. Makes you miss someone you didn’t know and feel more like you do know them at the same time <3 your grandfather sounds really cool . Made me think of mine who I also never met
yeah oh my god it's so sweet, but it's such a tender hurt. i get compared to my grandpa a lot... when my nana was alive & i started wearing button-downs, she'd fix my collar & smooth my front & tell me i wore the exact style grandpa used to wear. or my interest in literature + history, wanting to know how things work & why, ma always says that's exactly how her dad was
& my younger brother is compared endlessly to our late uncle that we never met—looks so much like him, face shape, hair color. & ma says they've got the same sense of humor too
like oh my god....... i miss them so badly—i MISSED them before i was born & i will miss them my entire life, but also, they're part of me, even if i couldn't know that without being told
#somewhat related. my uncle died a little over a year ago & he had a cat that my older brother now looks after#cat only liked my uncle. like it was rare to even see him come out when we visited#now that my uncle has passed that cat literally climbs my younger brothers leg to get into his arms#we were watching our older brothers dog + cats (uncles cat included) & he never left my younger brothers side#laid on his chest while he slept & purred & purred & purred#& i asked him i was like... you think that cat loves you because you look like uncle?#you remind him of him? anyways. explodes into tears#anonymous

does anyone else have that feeling sometimes when youre saying goodbye to someone that you wont see them again lol
#i have this feeling very rarely but nowadays every time my brother and his wife leave after they come to visit us i stand in the garden on#the driveway or whatever its called and im waving atfer them as they drive out the gates and im suddenly grabbed by the feeling that#this is the last time im seeing them#which is stupid because i always see them later — but to be fair they WILL move to america at the end of september or so... and the next#time theyll come back will be at christmas probably#also my twinie went back to budapest yesterday after she spent a whole week here with me and as i was standing at the gates with my mom and#we were waving after her as she was walking down the road towards the train station i thought again that this is the last time i'll see her#and. again. to be fair i won't be seeing her again for a long time now only on the 21st of sept.. or whenever my uncle's wedding will be...#so. idk. yeah maybe im just sentimental or whatever.#idk there has been a time when my siblings and i were kids and we spent most of our days together — and now one moves to america and the#other is living in budapest and i myself (in my thoughts) am halfway out of life#oh maybe its that! how i think about killing myself more and more nowadays. huh maybe thats it#anyways lol. dear diary ass post#zsófi rambles

Tell me of a sentimental item(s) you have
I wanna listen to the story about who gave it to you or how you got it
Is it with you every day? Is it somewhere safe?
#Ill share mine♡#I have a ring from my grandmother a gold bracelet and silver bracelets from my mother a pandora bracelet from my in laws and a stitch plush#from my love#My grandmother one day saw my mom wearing a ring that matches my engagement ring and said how pretty#we werent even dating and completely forgot about black friday (my bday landed on that day that year) when he asked his mom to take#my mom told my grandma that i gave it to her (my mom) and next time my mom visited my grandma#my grandma comes out of her room holding a ring she had since she was a little girl!#my grandma was orphaned at 5 and stayed only a few years with her evil aunt and uncle (they took everything her parents left her)#and when she ran away was able to take back some of her mothers jewelry. My grandma wanted to trade rings with my mom#My grandma wears my ring every day and i wear hears#My mom gave me 7 silver (my fave precious metal) for my golden birthday and the gold bracelet has my family nickname on it#it was customed made with some of her leftover gold jewelry (we were poor and she had to pawn almost all she owned to pay bills#and lost so much when she couldnt repay money) my grandfather spoiled her and my aunts and uncle so much when he was alive#my mom doesnt regret pawning jewelry but she still hurts from losing it#The bracelet fits big on me (its one you need to use a pin to push down to unlock) and it can just slide out if i wiggle my wrist#The pandora bracelet is a simple silver one with heart lock and i only have 2 charms on it#a stich charm and a graduation charm. i got stitch with bracelet on Christmas a few years back and graduation when i got my bachelors#the stitch plush was given to me freshman year of high school by hubby#before we even stared dating#he forgot black friday (day my bday landed on) when he went to mall to get me a present#that stitch was my comfort item like it went almost everywhere with me (it has had to be restuffed twice cause he gotten flat)#and has stayed safe in plushie heaven for last 2 years (its a hanging pink net hammock for stuffed animals) cause#a giant squishmallow stitch is my pillow and a unicorn squishmallow (was my previous pillow) take up all the space
