it’s ok not to like the holidays, and I think it’s important to remember that. some people have holiday trauma (like me) and some people just find no meaning in it, whatever the reason is, it’s okay. don’t beat yourself up for not liking the holidays and when others try to shove it in your face, just remember to breathe. holidays can be hard. be gentle this time of year. it’ll be alright, I promise.

i could honestly write a whole essay on how the internet’s obsession with romanticizing ‘girl dads’ while simultaneously making fun of ‘boy moms’ and gender reveal parties is directly related to a pervasive lack of care for trans men&mascs even among supposedly pro-trans people.

crazy to think that people my age want to have sex… and that many of them have had sex before… and that they are actively seeking out people to have sex with….. and that they talk about sex with their other sex-having friends……. couldn’t be me but y’all have fun tho! stay safe out there and stuff

The concept of moots is just so amazing to me.

Like I may not know your real name but you share with me some of the deepest, some of the darkest thoughts inside your head. We may never meet in real life but I still love what parts of you that you show me. This beautiful, messy version of yourself that only exists online. I might never know what goes on it your home life but I watch the catharsis of your pain and your joy through your writing and your art and your music. I only see one or two of your multifaceted sides but I love what I see and I truly believe that the rest of you deserves love too.

I don’t know who you are but I still love who you show me. And that person is still a part of you, so I love you too.

i believe the original creator of the infamous “the curtains are just blue” graphic was actually correct to be frustrated because the way english lit education has developed since NCLB has forced it into being a “correct answer” subject when in reality there is only Supported By The Text and Not Supported By The Text. so being angry that your english teacher is INSISTENT that the curtains being blue is a metaphor for depression when you interpret the blue curtains as being a metaphor for calm or peace or childhood or quiet or whatever is justified. or being frustrated that we’re talking about the blue curtains when actually the red mug seems way more important i. that scene. if your interpretation is supported by the text, you are, technically, “correct”, but there’s no room for that in modern literature education on the k12 level, so students get frustrated and give up when they can’t force themselves to read through the eyes and mind of the person grading their tests.

i love you all. so so much. you all deserve the world. and the love you so freely give in return. please take care. you are needed here. wanted here. and not for anything you could ever do. just because you are exactly you. you do not need to prove your worth in any form to be valuable. you have always been valuable, from the very beginning. always always always. take it slow if you have to. take it one day at a time. one minute, one moment. everyone feels things differently. it’s okay to feel more than others. life is hard. and unpredictable. and scary. and i know it’s easier said than done (look who’s talking), but when you can take advantage of the beautiful moments, don’t let them slip away. be in the moment. it’s okay to let yourself feel happiness. it’s okay to feel joy. to feel love. to be loved. i know it’s scary. especially when it’s something you may not know too well. but it’s worth it. worth trying. i believe in you. i believe in us! you deserve the world, and so much more.

i wish i could give you all the biggest hug and remind you how special you are! how all your kind actions change the world around you. what seems small, has such large effects. kindness does more than we all could ever know. it has such a deep effect. to make people feel loved is the most amazing thing. it’s the coolest thing. and we have the power to give it to anyone and everyone.

love, June <3

oh, sorry for so many asks, i also wanted to say too though i really agree so much with your chilchuck thoughts so far, even down to your personal headcanons about how things might go post-series. and you're absolutely right, i'll defend that little guy any day myself. you understand him so well and it's kind of relaxing to have someone else dish out this kind of analysis and already agree with all of it cus it's just so real, so thank you again for the Meal <- perhaps the perfect thing to say about dungeon meshi analysis when i think about it

i know you have playlists and stuff so i wanted to share a song i've been listening to that that reminds me of him: divine loser by clem turner

No worries, they’ve been a lot of fun! I do plan on getting back to each one btw, just gotta get through some other things first hopefully. Aaaah that’s really nice to hear 🥺 I do know the feeling haha, it’s always fun to have posts that Get It that you just nod along with 🤝 I’ve thought sooo much about Chilchuck I rotate him in my brain like rotisserie chicken more often than not, glad it all ended up being productive haha. Y’know recently my friends have been calling me a Chilchuck superfan/scholar jokingly and it actually made me have a realization moment of…

Bc I’ve always said Laios was my fave and like, he does mean everything to me idk if I’ve ever felt so seen as with Laios, I relate to him sooo much, but then. Okay alright that can be a different thing than a character being your favorite fine FINE I admit it Chilchuck’s my top blorbo. He’s so.🧍‍♂️I can’t even describe. He’s so….. He’s a clown but he’s also perfection in its best imperfect form I will not be taking further questions today. My friend called him my silly rabbit like that one meme and it makes me laugh sm

Thank you for the music rec!! I listened to it and yes agreed, sent straight to my Chil playlist. Songs are my bread and butter when I have character brainrot bc like with web weavings I feel like there are so many emotions and thoughts you can communicate about something so simply through one… (Which for anyone interested here’s my web weaving tag, got 2 about Chil). Gonna link all my dunmeshi playlists while I’m here: Dungeon Meshi, Chilchuck & his wife, marchil, Mithrun.

Ok everyone saw this coming but this ask ran away from me and I ramble about some song lyrics I associate with Chil & different facets of his life below the cut. Some people find my, ehem, heated rambles about Chil entertaining, this is your cue to get out the popcorn.

When thinking about songs for Chil I have 3 angles I take: About Chilchuck, about him and his wife, or about him & Marcille. Marchil is so engraved into me with their arcs together, that they’re like the concept of closure and letting go and letting yourself live again to me, sorry for all the non-enjoyers… But his dynamic with Marcille is a large part of his character arc so still fits, rock on.

I think currently my top song for him is Jackrabbit by San Fermin, because it combines all three it makes me go wild. It’s about trepidation… Throwing yourself into it even despite the fear (working with traps, survival in poverty where you have to rush & hustle), or just staying there paralyzed(not reaching out to his wife). Flight or freeze!! Saying goodbyes and saying hellos!! Not dying alone!! The life cycle of a wild rabbit living and dying, the baton pass race of life from generation to generation!! Chil and his daughters even!!! Going through life at a frenzied pace!! It is so Chilchuck and so marchil, and the music does give that hurried and scared energy to me too, and sigh the Marcille side to it with fear of death too…

Extra fun context but the other day on the discord server we were talking about what animal each character’s fursona would be as we do and I thought of a rabbit for Chilchuck: Quick footed, ‘cowardly’, small and frail and seen as weak 🙃, athletic and slender, pulls stunts, stressed out, has very fine hearing and has good instincts, etc. And ofc that fits really well with Marcille since she’s kinda associated with dungeon rabbits hehe~ But I think while Marcille’s 100% the cute round rabbit Chil’s more like a brown hare, more wild and like, more like a jackalope if we’re still doing monsters... I do lowkey find it more fun than his associated monster being mimics because he’s crabby, because they’re clever (with where they place themselves) and because of how he has a soft shell but soft insides, lol.

OKAY so that’s my song pick with the main 3 facets sure, now I’ll share some lyrics for each 3 sides separatedly 😈 Kinda summarizing my web weavings for him thus far. If we start with Chilchuck by himself we have… Enter One by Shelby Merry and Drunk by The Living Tombstone

With his wife, we have the bad end, and the good end for if they get back together with Lost Kitten by Metric and North by Sleeping At Last… Okay okay plus Love Like Ghosts and My Heart is Buried in Venice… Little Soldier by The Crane Wives for them also RUIN me

And Marchil… Marchil oh my beloved. Another buddy also made a full analysis on discord about Soap by The Oh Hellos for them lol, but these are Not I by I Fight Dragons and My Heart is Buried in Venice again~

Okay okay two more. Boats & Birds by Gregory and The Hawk, and Tummy by Tamino.

Finishing it up with quotes from, in order, A Softer World by Joey Comeau, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Acknowledgements by Danez Smith, The Letter by Richard Paul Evans, and last but not least posts from dead tumblr account flintcoded. I keep looking around and finding MORE fitting quotes. Someone stop me- In loving me you hold a knife at my throat, in loving you I tell you exactly where to cut. Forgive me, memory is a rope around my neck. I need you to be happy, I need one of us to be happy.

Hand in unlovable hand…

In conclusion;

Hello my babes! How is everyone doing? Are y’all okay? Eating your veggies and drinking your water? If not that’s fine I won’t tell anyone but just know I’m always here if you need anything! I love each and every single one of you! And if no one has told you today then allow me, you’re doing great and I’m extremely proud of you and I’m so glad you’re here ✨

I think that from now on all tumblr users should be forced to answer a two-question quiz before being allowed to express any opinion about AI:

1. What is AI?

2. What separates a ‘good’ tool from an ‘evil’ tool?

Why have haters when your son can be your own biggest personal hater?

you know what actually i think chappel roan refusing to endorse kamala harris is nothing more than a moral purity performance. you cannot, as a queer woman from the midwest, look me in my fucking eyes and say you won’t endorse kamala fucking harris. what is wrong with you. does the safety and continued existence of you and your community actually matter? or do you just want brownie points for being Good™️?
