- Braves end the first half of the season with a win -

you know the excellent quadruple life fan comic has me thinking about double life again. and MAN. thinking about the soul bonds mechanically. like, before I get into my meta-analysis it’s worth noting that non-diagetically the soulbond mechanic being based on how many hearts someone has is basically the only way I can think to do it in minecraft that’s sensible, but diagetically…

so do you ever think about how the marker of what made people soulmates in double life was pain?

like, soulmates share injuries/pain! that’s the whole premise! like, to the point that day one people were making up elaborate ways to hurt themselves so they could test for their soulmates! you met your (very romantic-coded) partner and confirmed they were the person you were looking for by hitting each other, generally!

being a soulmate in the double life universe isn’t about being compatible, it’s about literally sharing pain, and it’s just… I think about how for some pairs, they share the burden between each other, and it brings them closer. for some pairs, though, the only way they know how to communicate is by hurting one another. and the thing is, this isn’t just a literal thing. like, mechanically, the thing soulmates do is share pain and communicate with pain, but metaphorically, can you say desert duo doesn’t have trouble communicating because half of how they know how to exist is either sharing in pain or causing it for each other? can you say that ranchers’ strength wasn’t a pair of people who understood each other’s pain and desperation to be better than they’ve been before? can you say that divorce quartet isn’t, well—

so pearl wins after scott hurts them one last time don’t you ever think about that,

gen loss dump part 2 :]

i have a gen loss playlist so the last two was me hitting randomize and drawing a pic based on the song before it finished. the second one technically isn’t that cause charlie’s inferno isn’t on apple music cause they hate me so it’s way more of the song out of spite because they wouldn’t give it to me.

It’s disability pride month, and if you are disabled in the U.S. from Long Covid I want you to know that you’re not alone, and you’re valid in whatever you feel. Whether that’s sorrow at your new problems or rage at society for failing you, you are valid, and it is truly messed up that society is continuing to fail you.

Rebels has been a comfort show for me longer than I’ve actually cared about star wars (my grade 6 self loved watching Disney XD on tv what can I say🤷🏻‍♀️)

And the main reason is because of how much the ghost crew loved each other..they were a family and I loved that about them

Anyways, I haven’t felt that same comfort until The Bad Batch and I just love it so much

I’m gonna feel super empty when this season ends :(

I’ve seen like three stories of people talking to military recruiters on my dash today so I wanted to share mine lol

They called the house phone which my mom answered, and she yelled upstairs to me asking if I wanted to take it and I said “…sure.” And she was like “Really????” And I was like “idk why not” because when you’re 17 strangers are just talking to you about your future constantly so like what’s one more.

Anyway. I pick up on the call and it’s some guy telling me about the army and what I’d do and I’m just listening because OBVIOUSLY I’m not joining the military. And he asks me some questions about my schooling and my interests and he tries to spin them in favor of the military.

But then at one point we’re talking about the like, physical requirements? And he’s like “how much do you weigh?” And I answer honestly by saying “about 220 pounds.”

And this dude gets real quiet.

The line is silent.

He says “well, we’ll, uh, definitely have to take care of that before you join.”

And that’s all I remember lol it was predictable and stupid but it was an interesting way to spend 5 minutes of my 17 year old life. So anyway! If you don’t want to talk to recruiters on the phone just tell them you’re fat and they’ll end the call really quickly lol

Oh and my mom was so suspicious of me after I came downstairs, she was like “WHY did you take that.” And I answered honestly with a “I was just curious as to what he was going to say.”

You Will Never Understand My Pain

it was so heartbreaking to watch the melody videos from the other night where patrick absolutely broke down with in grief over the passing of his friend. but i think what broke me most about the video i saw was you could hear the crowd belting along to spotlight as he fought his way through. and how just last summer he played it and said beforehand, “only about ten of you will know this,” and finished with, “that’s a lot of lights” because of the amount of people that DID know it. the amount of people that did want to hear it and sang along, word for word. i imagine through all the heartache he could feel the love from everyone in the room, all directed at him. and i don’t know. it’s all just so sweet and i hope he’s having a better day, because i cannot imagine the pain, vulnerability, and raw emotion he went through in honoring someone that important, that special to him in such a public way.
