Hypersomnolence
Haha funny story, I was diagnosed with a sleep disorder in November after struggling with it unknowingly for give or take 18 months. Turns out Iâm not crazy and falling asleep against your will multiple times a day is actually not a good or normal thing.
So permit me to write the puppet like a sap as I need this right now lol. Yes these are in fact all things I experienced but I am medicated for them now hooray!
One task, that was all youâd managed to get through today. You felt sick and heavy, opting to sit on the cold ground before your body made you, it was a battle to stay awake as sleep attacked you again.
It was only early afternoon and youâd struggled through your one task of sweeping, you were certain everyone at the hotel thought you to be lazy, even if theyâd all told you otherwise.
Youâd been sick like this for a long time, long before the petrification disease or the puppet frenzy, both events having a negative effect on the way youâd usually manage your symptoms.Â
And while you appreciated the sanctity youâd been spared at Hotel Krat, the nagging feeling of needing to repay Lady Antonia for her kindness was not helping your case.
You sat with your head in your hands, slipping in and out of consciousness, losing the battle again. Usually, Polendina would find you, send you to your room to rest and that would be it for the day, once you were in bed you found it hard to do much of anything else. Which you supposed was good for your body but it made your emotional well-being an absolute wreck.
Lady Antonia had asked you time and time again to be kinder to yourself, to feel accomplished of the things you could do and that you were welcome here no matter how sick you were, and she would know a thing or two about being sick.
But, you had a bad habit of being nasty to yourself, and with your sleep-related illness only seeming to get worse you couldnât remember the last time youâd spoken kindly to yourself.
You felt like shit.
A hand at your shoulder, delicate and tender shook you but it didnât do much to rouse you. Your vision swam uncomfortably through the gaps in your fingers, your head being too heavy to lift up. Hands grasped your wrists, pulling gently to reveal your face that was then taken into those same hands, one soft and warm, the other firm and cold.
With the weight of your head now being supported by Pâs hands you could somewhat force yourself to look at him. His expression was unreadable, as always, but his presence was a balm to your spiralling thoughts.
The friendship of Geppettoâs Puppet had been good for you, P didnât care how tired you were he was just happy to see you, he didnât expect anything but your presence and that was something you could give freely, tired or not.
He tilted his head in question to what you assumed to be your position on the floor, slumped over rather uncomfortably.
âIt just came on, I had to sit down,â you mumbled, he seemed to frown, getting down on one knee and shifting you against him to pick you up.
With you cradled to his chest, he ascended the stairs. You burrowed down against his chest, relishing in how nice it was to be looked after.Â
It was almost like the trip up to your room didnât happen, one moment you were snug to Pâs chest, the next you were under your sheets and propped up against the headboard. P took it upon himself to remove his shoes and coat and sit on the opposite side of the bed to keep you company.
âSleepy?â P asked innocently, you nodded trying desperately to suppress another yawn.Â
âI-â he started, a thoughtful look crossing his face, â-want to help. How do I help?â
He gently took your hand in his own, his thumb rubbing over your knuckles. The astounding amount of care he treated you with was sure to tear you apart in the best ways, making your exhausted mind spin.
âJust stay here with me for a bit,â You laid your head on his shoulder, âI think thatâll help.â
âOkay.â
He mimicked you, resting his head on top of yours, pulling the sheets further up your lap. Doing what he could to keep you comfortable, a concept he was still trying to grasp.
âThank you P,â you mumbled, snuggling closer, âlove you.â
He pressed a gentle kiss to your head, nose buried in your hair, âI love you too.â
#I wrote this for me and it was going to stay in my drafts but the other shots I've been working on aren't done yet and I am itching to post#yes this is how most of my days went unmedicated it was hell on earth#started playing lies of p just before I got the diagnosis and started on treatment actually#the boy makes me very very happy#this could probably be read platonically but I did not write it with that intention#hence the lil kiss at the end#but close friends kiss each other on the forehead sometimes#will be crossposted elsewhere later#cause i need to go to bed right this second#lies of p x reader#p x reader#pinocchio x reader#lies of p#god i have missed writing my silly little fanfics#self indulgent to the nth degree#dec 2023#đŚ let your conscience be your guide

#i wonder if y'all are getting tired of these follower celebration things#i don't know why you would but it's something i worry about#in all honesty i already have an idea about what i might write in mind#regardless of what gets chosen#which does defeat the point a little#but it's whatever#i really want qna to be chosen#but maybe that's just because i wanna talk about stuff that i normally don't on this blog#do people read the tags that i put on regular posts#i have a tendency to ramble on down here about whatever comes to mind#even if it's only barely related to the topic of the post#i have not forgotten about the ao3 search guide#i just have not gotten around to working on the 2nd part to it yet#the curse of being easily distracted & not starting on things#this will be deleted

Horde Prime's body language and mannerisms part 1/3
T posing, head shaking and manspreading
I was always facinated with the way Prime moves and handles himself, but ever since I got officially obsessed with this character I began to notice more and more interesting quirks and signature Prime gestures - there are just so many. And now I'm going to (over)analyse them all!
1. Hands behind the back
Lets start with the classic "well mannered/disciplined character" pose
It really suits his whole character and even makes Prime look like he's always plotting something (which he does). And it shows that HP clearly watches his posture and I'm glad he does like damn my man has such a good posture
Also, I now have a theory that Prime keeps his arms behind his back so no one can see him fidgeting with his hands and fingers. Or he hides them in a way to restrain himself from touching everything he sees (I just cant help but to headcanon Horde Prime as a kinesthetic person who learns through touch and feeling)
2. Crossed legs
It's giving slut, its giving bad bitch, its giving if only I cared hon uwu and I love it
The way he sits shows just how comfortable he feels on his throne and in his role as an emperor - he's right where he thinks he belongs. In his case crossed legs also indicate that Prime feels confident and in control. Even when Adora sees him during this whole vessel maintenance process, even when Catra turned against him, even when he was visiting the Fright Zone and sitting on Hordak's throne, even when a rebellion sparks on other occupied planets
And yeah, sometimes the emphasis on his legs is so obvious that it looks very fanservice-y, but not that I mind that >:}
Eventually u get so used to him sitting like this that when Prime doesnt cross his legs it feels wrong and scandalous lol
But this only happened like 3 times. And I think he only changes his pose when he needs to concentrate (like when he searches through someone's memories) or when he feels like he's losing control (like when he felt enraged after She-Ra and co escaped the Velvet Glove)
Though I cant explain why he manspreads in the last screenshot, its from Save the Cat and I have no idea why'd he do that, it feels so wrong pls make him stop I'm scared
3. The iconic Prime pose
He's actual signature pose that really fits his character. It's dramatic, it has some similarities with irl holy/religious imagery, it makes Prime look like he's taking even more space, and it kinda reminds me of the way peacocks show off their tails :)
Gotta mention that when he doesnt do "the pose" Prime is still doing something with his arms and posing almost thetrically, which is again, right on brand for him
3. The đđ
At first I didnt want to include this one cause I thought it was just an insignificant silly gesture he only does once, but then I actually caught Prime doing it again!
Then I've noticed that Prime often does this thing when he folds his hands in various ways, kinda forming a shape of a rhomb/diamond? The same as the one on the Horde emblem?
My main point is that HP again seems to never know where to put his hands, which I find cute :С
4. The thinking pose
It's just funny how Prime always props his head on his left hand just so he won't accidentally poke his extra eyes out with his claws))
5. Smoothing the hair
I included this specifically because Prime only does this one time in the entire season. It's an uncharacteristic gesture for him. Especially since there's no hair to smooth, its all cabels with only little seen of his actual hair
Prime only did this after Scorpia disobeyed his order, letting Adora and Perfuma escape. For a moment he felt like he lost control over the situation AND one of his puppets, plus it was yet another time when She-Ra managed to survive and "win"
I will speculate that Prime used to do this gesture all the time somewhere in the past, when he didnt have his cable hair yet AND when he had less control over his "subjects"
So when on Etheria Prime's plans began to fail for the first time in forever and someone who supposed to be under his full control actually dared to disobey him he felt so frustrated and stressed that he might've mentally come back to those times when he wasnt yet "all powerful". When he often felt the need to calm himself down by fixing his hair and running his hand over it
What's interesting, Prime does something similar in this scene, only here he gives pets to one of his clones. I'm going to throw in another suggestion and say that it actually might've been someone else who used to help HP calm down in similar manner
6. Head shake
I could not stop thinking about this one simply because it annoyed me too much lol. I really don't get what is it with Prime always shaking his head and why it was only a thing in his debut episode. Anyway, he does this to emphasize the words "No" and "Never". And only when he is either really amused or angry. He also does this almost in a mocking condescending manner, probably because he saw Glimmer and Catra as some dumb children who won't get the message otherwise
Still don't get why he only does this in one episode and then this quirk of his is (mostly) completely forgotten
It was easier to make a video rather than a set of gifs, so enjoy me counting all the times when Prime shook his goddamn head
#spop#horde prime#shera#horde clones#spop meta#spacebats#the galactic horde#long post#ramblings#image heavy#this is fun#im so normal about this character as u can clearly see#ive been sitting on this idea for so long and now finally doing iiit#going to use this as a reference guide when i start working on a comic

just found a WWI podcast that lasted as long as the war holy shit. from 2014 to 2018 so it fits perfectly
#It actually lasts longer because it covers the post war period as well. but the war bit is '14 - '18#should I pick it up?#I'll probably skip the first few episodes because I know about the archduke and the power struggles etc#btw the podcast is still ongoing. There are interviews. episodes on details of the war or propaganda#on stuff that happened before the war but kinda had a role in it#and he's currently revisiting some episodes and expanding them#he published the patron episodes. This is mental#it's ten years of a guy's life#and I still have some revolutions on that revolutions podcast I want to listen to#I should make a guide of the episodes but it takes time#and I have a lot to do#and I'm dicking around#ok from tomorrow I'll start following a schedule or I'll never finish my thesis in February#but I don't want to get stuck in a routine because it always messeses me up#I just need to start working earlier in the morning#personal#anyway this isn't about me this about a wwi podcast that pulled a mash#they should do mash on the southeast front with australian and new zealand troups#or maybe not

it's been a LONG time since i've made any sort of personal post but i wanna ramble a bit! i've never felt more relief than finally deciding to use the term aro for myself after fighting with it on and off for at least 5 years. i'm not sure WHY it's so relieving but it is!
(under the cut bc it's long, i genuinely havent spoken here in like. years. even stopped talking on my sideblog bc i feel a bit safer on a private twitter for personal posts...)
the way i found out was a little hilarious but i am Not going into all that here that's for my private twitter, long story short someone made a post along the lines of "romance is something you FEEL not something you DO" and i was like. wait what the hell you guys Feel a crush you don't just Make one?? OH THAT'S MAKES WAY MORE FUCKING SENSE- *(&$@#)*&%^* quickly realized i had spent my whole life trying to Make crushes oops. there's more to it but that's the extremely simplified version
i had a big relief when realizing my sexuality and gender too but this one was a lot different for some reason. maybe because i'm older now? i'm not really sure. could have also been because i've been fighting with it for so long. i did the same with gender stuff too but it never felt like this big revelation, it was a lot slower and easier to come to terms with. this one made me reevaluate my entire life and go "ohhhhh that's what i was doing wrong all those years" lmao
i dont think i've ever loved myself so much since realizing this. fuck the loveless aro thing (shoutout to you guys tho, just couldnt be me), i am SO full of love. now i realize what was wrong the whole time! trying to put people above other people and put them in the Special Love category was fucking me up, love doesnt need to fall into special categories with certain terms and conditions, it can just be whatever i want it to be and as strong as it wants to be without it ever leaving the "platonic" stage and i love that. realizing that my friends are the closest people in my life and that doesn't have to change has been so nice. no more "you'll find someone Even More Special" these are just my favorite people! i love them! we dont have to get into a relationship to make it The Specialest Relationship, what we have is enough
i am also having way more fun headcanoning characters tbh, that's a silly point but it's a fun one. i never fully understood the "giving your faves your identity" thing bc i just did whatever i saw fit regardless of whether it was MY identity or not, but making random characters aro is awesome. not all of them, i'm a big fan of fictional relationships (relationships are super fun from a distance i love smacking my guys together like barbie dolls). but taking my old inkling oc and making him aro? that has made me so fucking happy. rip to his boyfriend FKJHG
#uhhhh maybe i'll have more to say about this one day idk#just rambling after a long work day :] i really do want to talk about it more#but im not good at. guided thoughts. i just say whatever comes to mind#people make such nice Relatable personal posts and mine are just word vomit KJFHG idk how to say what i want to say#words suck man#but yeah anyways i havent talked about this yet! i made like 3 posts vaguely mentioning it and then never talked about it again#i've been feeling really happy about it this week for some reason. i think it's really starting to set in lol#chat

i want to switch to linux--windows 10 is nearing end-of-support, windows 11 sucks, if i'm switching OS i'd just as soon switch to linux.
i see people online being like "switch to linux!!" which is great, but the same people have like... no suggestions for distro (even in terms of "if you do X, try 1, 2, 3; if you do Y, try 3, 4, 5" or something) and no instructions for *how* to start setting up the new OS that you'd be switching to. fucking--ten or fifteen years ago, "no suggestions from other people" would be workable, because search engines worked. but now between google enshittifying their search engine to force people to run more searches and computer-generated clickbait articles outnumbering real ones i can't fucking find recommendations i can trust.
Both of the "try this distro if you're new from windows and just want an OS to run your little programs in" distros I tried [running off a flash drive, bc i only have the one SSD and i can't fucking figure out how to make a new fucking volume/partition/whatever on it with the tools that windows+google give me and i don't want to wipe my fucking C drive just to try out a distro that i might not use], ZorinOS and Linux Mint, had things that I just couldn't figure out how to do. I looked up guides, but every single guide i found just had instructions of "enter "sudo bongle bleeplorp choochoo" in the terminal" with no insight as to wtf those commands mean, or wtf you're supposed to do if you get any kind of error from trying to run them. (the terminal also wouldn't accept ctrl+V pasting which made putting these unfamiliar commands in super inconvenient as i had to make a lot more keyboard/mouse switches; that's a much lower-tier complaint but it is a complaint) and
i just have this general frustration that so many of the instructions for things that you're likely to want to do because you're new to linux from windows just presume this high degree of familiarity with linux systems. i just want an actual honest-to-fuck Beginner's Guide, and if that is Too Fucking Much, then I want an actual no-fucking-around out-of-the-box useable-as-is operating system. one or the other.
@girlwarlock [mentioning myself so i can reblog if more thoughts happen]
#tag so tumblr will shut up abt not tagging my posts#if you have legitimate actual recommendations for a âwhat this shit actually does and how to do thingsâ beginners guide#or an actual no-bullshit useable-without-any-fucking-with-it distro#or information how to make a new drive partition/volume/whatever **including** any foreseeable edge cases or 'in case of error' stuff#the replies should be available#but i have very low patience for condescension re this--i got enough of that on cohost when i tried to get help#so if you're considering starting an explanation with 'it's easy' or 'i don't know how you had trouble with this' or#'linux doesn't work like that' or any bullshit like that--#just know that i might snap at you and i might block you

Thinking through the logical conclusions of lore that the source material has clearly not thought that deeply about can be annoying or depressing in the sense of seeing exactly how deep the plot holes go but so long as it doesnât inherently break the suspension of disbelief or ruin your enjoyment of the overall story it can be really fun to figure out what you can use to plug the holes. Like thatâs just free real estate now baby. If the lore implies X but the story wound up at Z, then you can make the journey through Y be whatever you want it to be
#writing#this is about a lot of shows but unfortunately in this specific moment itâs about#elena of avalor#now that [static noise] has a completed draft I need to finish the bed you made#itâs just like half a chapter that I ended up having to rewrite bc the first version of it ceased to work once I finished the fic#but i want to get it finished and up so Iâm looking back over my draft#and just.

watching the hbomberguy video about plagiarism and hes discussing man in cave. as a certified cave enthusiast, and a certified cave disaster enthusiast, which was kickstarted by floyd collins videos, and particularly by the mental floss article, i must say. i had seen man in cave when it was first uploaded and i did think it was mid at the time i juts didnt realize it was plagiarized that badly. i have watched so many fucking floyd collins videos at this point that they kind of blend together so i thought the script being boring and done-before was because of that, not because it was a word for word copy of the mental floss article. lmfao.
#brot posts#oh hbomber just said hes one of the weird cave people. epic. one of us !#lmao he recognizes the exact photo of the cave i love that for him. love this. i love caves#anyway the bst floyd collins videos i know off the top of my head are#the tiny segment of jacob geller's fear of depths video where he starts off with floyd collins#(which is what kickstarted my whole cave interest)#and i also found a channel of a tour guide who actually works on site and it was a recording of a tour going through#the collins property and that was actually very good#cant rememerb the channel right now i can search for it#by far the best sources of in depth information though are written sources like the metnal floss article#or trapped!: the story of floyd collins by murrary and brucker#oh and the channel i was tinnking of is just a single video#The Tragic Story Of Floyd Collins at Sand Cave by hook it up outdoors !!!#cave posting#I GUESS.

pov! you're me, considering signing up as a participant in a new challenge, but as you're reading the rules and requirements you notice that they've straight up pasted in several sections of copy you wrote for a challenge you founded and have been running for the past seven years (and they didn't ask permission or provide credit!!!)
#hoooo boy this pisses me off lmao#at first i was like... am i imagining this?#but i made a point of going through it#and there's several sections where they've flat out just thesaurus'd in a new word and switched ''pinefest'' to their challenge name#and to be clear if people want to use rules from pinefest *as a template* for their own challenge rules that's totally fine by me#like i've spent seven years ironing out the kinks and it runs pretty smoothly these days#so i'm more than happy for other challenges to take inspiration from how we run things#but to lift entire sections of the rules/requirements/posting guide i wrote#only changing a couple of words and shuffling the order of a few things around but keeping large chunks of text and formatting#all without bothering to provide credit or even just ask!!!#is so damn rude!!!!!!#like for crying out loud the pinefest askbox is open my askbox is open the pinefest email is listed on our page#i've shared ''how to build your own challenge'' guides here and on twitter through the challenge account#and have publicly offered help and advice on getting started when people have asked#like i've made a point of being extremely approachable wrt this stuff!!!#because i want to help people set up challenges! having well-run challenges makes fandom better!!!#but passing off other people's hard work as your own does NOT make fandom better!!!!#and yeah writing copy for a challenge IS hard work#also i have deliberately not mentioned the name of the challenge publicly and i'm only going to mention it to my co-mod#though if the people running it see this and feel like reaching out they are welcome to do so#like legit no hard feelings if they were using our rules as a guide and somehow published our stuff in their rules by mistake#i'm just super heated about this because i've put so much work into pinefest over the years#like huge amounts of time and energy and thought dedicated to contributing to the fandom#so to have someone take a bunch of that work and pass it off as their own feels pretty damn shitty!#it's especially frustrating because other parts of their rules have clearly been written by someone who has a distinct voice of their own#like evidently they're capable of writing their own stuff so why didn't they just do the rest of the work?#wank adjacent#...but is it really wank when it's being pissed off for legitimate reasons? who's to say

So I made some of eoa characters and paired them up (Mateo and Carla, Marzel and Elena, Gabe and Naomi, Alonso and Valentina, Chloe and Rebecca) and made m/f ships kids: (first is Mateo and Carla's, second Marzel and Elena's, third Gabe and Naomi's, fourth Alonso and Valentina's.). Decided to share maybe someone would like them:
#elena of avalor#appereantly in posting about sims mood#...should i tag it with characters and ships?#anyway i don't remember who between marzel and elena's and gabe and naomi's kid is older#mateo and carla son is defintely oldest and alonso's and valentina daughter is definitely youngest#also i really wanted mateo and carla to have daughter but i never before cared about baby gender in sims medieval and never#played sims 3 for longer than like few minutes on my friend computer and never played sims 4#and never watched like videos about it then#so i thought it works like in sims 2 and baby gender is decided when baby is being born not when pregnancy starts#also alonso and valentina kid was born much after boys cause i misunderstood some guide and thought you can only have three kids of your#playable characters in kingdom#...probably was about how many kids you can have in household
