guys i. literally last night i read a nonfiction piece at writer’s open mic. not that unusual. my favorite professor was there. Slightly unusual. afterwards he knelt down by me in TEARS and told me to never stop writing. boom. instantly started sobbing. what is WRONG WITH HIM
#it was a rough piece to read lowkey#it was like my history of being sexually harassed + religious trauma. which is a great combo#the nonfiction professor keeps trying to convert me and i’m like rachel i cannot publish all these pieces about people who could SEE THEM.#but then my friend suggested i publish under a pen name which is actually not a bad idea. so i’ll sleep on that#but anyway. chris wants me dead is the point#can he adopt me pleaseeeeeeeeeeee. he has the same name as my dad even.#what a crazy insane wonderful man. i really needed that lowkey#(and i KNOW this sounds fake ok but i swear it happened😭 i couldn’t even believe it and he was right in front of me. he is just Like That.)#this is the peak of my entire life i fear.

I wanted to get a head start on palasaki week and now I’m building out a reverse AU. why do I keep doing this to myself I can’t keep starting new stuff without finishing the old stuff 😭
#anyway they meet at wellesley#ik st hilarions is fictional and I could’ve gone that route but hwc’s are right there#and honestly I needed to explain how Crystal is attending a school in the 1910s period#like she’s coming from money but she’s still a black woman in America yk#so I needed a school that admitted black women of upper classes#and is also religious and has an international students program in the 80s#and has a body of water on/near campus#and wellesley fit the bill !#haven’t decided if they base the agency out of Boston bc of proximity or nyc#since I’m saying Crystal’s from nyc#can’t decide if her parents are rich in black society or are passing in upper middle class white society#bc unfortunately this is an era where these details are vvv important in terms of if/where Crystal could go to school#plus a lot of her parents hippy-esque traits in canon just don’t translate historically#like there were all of 27 babies named Crystal in the US in 1900#idk race is just such a big part of American history that you can’t not address it when switching the characters around#including Niko!!!#they’re both still dead for hate crimes but now we’ve got race tensions in the mix#for reference I’m trying to write little one shots from each of the prompts so all this is completely overkill#but this is just how my brain works ig#palasaki#palasaki week#dead boy detectives#dbda#dead boy detective agency#crystal palace#crystal palace surname von hoverkraft#niko sasaki

the way harrow the ninth manages to convey the longing for connection that can happen not only between people, but also within an individual, when something goes wrong enough inside them. and the horror-hunger desperation and displacement of being severed from yourself that suffuses every other part of your existence, with all the repulsive rotting wrongness of stagnant water you can't get away from because the well is within your own heart and that bitch just keeps pumping away even when you wish it wouldn't bother. anyway. I love that book a normal amount
#the locked tomb#harrow the ninth#unfortunately harrow may be the most relatable protagonist in literary history. I also do not like this but here we are#this is part of what annoys me about the 'but griddlehark is not a healthy relationship!!' idea#like 1) do you think salt is too much spice in your metaphorical life. c'mon. and 2) they are fictional characters not real people!#they are metaphors as well as people that's what narrative does! they carry other meanings than just themselves!#separately and together! religious meaning psychological emotional societal political -- meaning on every axis you care to name#it's just as much a story about parts of a self struggling to come together and resolve to become coherent#in a way that doesn't hurt too bad to live with. will they do that? who knows! but that's in there beneath the surface#it's not ONLY about that but it is part of a reading one might make and there is real Stuff in there to work with#the effects of trauma are that deep in the narrative to me it leaks out everywhere it's baked in#I also want them to kiss about it but that's just because of some things that are wrong with me as a person I think

#I also love this sm <3#I wish people talk more about how greek mythology related to real ancient greece#people usually takes mythology like it's some kind of solid story like nobel or drama#but it's actually made by ancient greeks to explain their history...?#like yk this land is named like this because mythology thing#or our ancestor is a king or someone participated in some mythological events or blah blah blah#and religious thing!! like why people doing this religious practice and why the sanctuary is there#tagamemnon#diomedes#greek mythology

I'm bad at decisions so I need some help. My collection of cacti and succulents currently consists of 20 cute babies, of which some are 10 years old, but I never gave them names. But I think it's time to change that, I just can't settle on a naming convention.
I tend slightly towards knights because I'd already know what to call my oldest and fav one, but rly anything would be cool. Feel free to also leave suggestions<3
#with pirates/knights i mean from history and legends#and with angels i mean from the bible (i'm not religious tho i treat them more like mythological figures)#pls i'm chronically indecisive#i'd call my fav Roland if knights and Uriel if angels#the german names wouldn't be inherently comical but names my generation cringes at#like Harald and Gertrude along those lines#thanks in advance#all the aloe would carry the same name because they all originated from one plant

Nothing makes me happier than listening to my family watch mormon podcasts and feel...nothing. It's just a weird fandom to me now, sometimes (sometimes I am lividly angry) but really at its core it is a weird fandom living in their version of a fantasy world based on a fictional book.
#I forget the name of the podcast#but I sat listening and went huh that is just kinda silly#like they were talking about reasonable and good things#but like they weren't better than things real life people do#and it's a little sad that this made up history is getting the credit when real people are much more interesting and often times much bette#than mormon stories heroes#exmo#exmormon#mormonism#tw religious trauma#apostake#anti mormonism#ex christian#ex religious

Thinking about finally throwing all my FF7 meta analysis and lore deep dive stuff onto a sideblog. It'd be reblogged from here, but I'd be able to organize it a little better, have a directory so people could find things more easily, and maybe it'd stop people from regurgitating things I say word-for-word for brownie points when they can just find and reblog the fucking original post(s).
#fandom vent#this happens WAY more often than I talk about#like constantly#not daily#but if I put up a ramble#there will always be 2-3 people on the twits or here#who immediately start saying the same thing#in the same words#acting like they're the ones that did the analysis#and it's really frustrating#y'all know I actually do research on this shit?#I check my sources#I review the source material#I get alternate translations to be sure#I read real-life research journals for scientific stuff#I research dates and real-world events and natural phenomena and religious history etc etc etc#it's not just 'nashi writes 2k words of bullshit and hits POST'#I do actual research for my analyses and my deep dives#I cite my sources whenever possible#I don't LINK all the time because that can kick a post from the tags#but I don't just make shit up#so people grabbing it and running with it as if they were the ones that did the work to figure it out#is super disheartening#my current big research project is figuring out if Reeve's surname#is actually rooted in Gaelic#because it's such a weird name#and it's possible that it's not spelled right#because it may be Gaelic#this is a theory that has not panned out yet#but I've been researching it on and off for weeks

"inherently evil" -- there can be no accord with these people
#again this is religious for them#this is just a rehashing of christianity#“we are all the children of god” and if you think about prioritizing your own then you're an inherently evil heathen#also “it's common sense to care about everyone equally” despite this not being a common believe ever in history?#again this reminds me of the early christians who would happily sacrifice their family in the name of their faith#these people would gleefully sacrifice their own for their ideology#also there's something particularly vile about this#because it's so easy to feel sorry for people on the other side of the world#it's a great way to feel good about yourself without having to do anything#but meanwhile taking care of your neighbors? that's well within your power#but if you make it wrong to prioritize your own then you don't have to feel so guilty about not doing anything#and before anyone says “it's possible to care about two things at once”#yeah i agree#but for these types of people prioritizing the other is consistent#it is perverse#especially because i've seen some of these people express a certain kind of joy about it#like i saw an article from politico i believe that was enthusiastic about the effects this hurricane will have#on the ability for racist white southerners to vote for trump#and i've also seen them express a callous disregard for them#like “haha NOW these hillbillies want government handouts???”#they hate you

oh i'm definitely gonna lose some friends for this one huh
#already got vagueposted about by one former friend as 'comparing pro-palestine sentiments to antisemitism'#direct quote 'israel desperately wants them to believe this is a religious war and not a genocide'#same guy who said 'boy howdy do we know their side of the story' and ten short texts later said verbatim:#'we can't use religion as birthright thats stupid and the Number One Tool of Colonizers'#which is a STAGGERING amount of cognitive dissonance#as if religion is the relevant part and not the literal historical fact of jewish indigineity to eretz israel#mind you at the time of the vaguepost the ONLY thing i said regarding palestine#was that if your 'support' for palestinians includes sharing basic antisemitic dogwhistles and blatantly lying about history#then that 'support' will accomplish nothing for palestinians and only get jews killed#and i feel like looking at that and insisting that i'm comparing all pro-palestinian sentiment to antisemitism is uh. telling#we'll see how this ends up going - i fear it may not be the greatest for my social life but i stand by what i said#bc even if i am wrong about Everything directly surrounding israel and palestine#i was strictly discussing antisemitism in the discourse surrounding it#and a longer version of 'no stance on israel makes you immune to antisemitism and antisemitism runs deep and will affect your thinking on#the matter and refusing to acknowledge that is dangerous' isn't actually dependent on the intracacies of the conflict it's just True#and i'm not gonna back down again i'm not going to downplay antisemitism again i'm not going to give up#i'm not sure if i have jewish friends i simply do not know about who see what i say on there#but if i do then i need it to be clear they have Someone who is willing to fight for them#and if not i still need to make it clear i won't stand for blatant antisemitism no matter whose name it's in#the only thing that would make me consider taking down what i said is if i believed it's counterproductive#and part of me wonders if it is - i don't want to put people on the defense bc that's simply not conducive to good faith discussion#but at the same time i know that a lot of what i've needed to hear was fed up or harsh words#that i started off just reading and keeping my defensiveness inside until they sunk in over time#and maybe my frustration will have that effect for someone#damn i really need to make some jewish friends... maybe after break i'll reach out to hillel or a local shul to ask if they could use a han#or something idk we'll see#personal#faggotry enjoyer original

does anybody remember when I accurately predicted how game of thrones tv show would end bc I had a basic understanding of how the Tudor dynasty ended. lol.
#like genuinely the parallels in the book aren’t even slick#<-although again let’s hope the book series doesn’t end same as the show LOL#Robert = Henry viii#Joffrey and tommen as Edward vi (boy prince who dies young)#dare I say stannis = Mary I bc religious extremism#Cersei as lady Jane grey probably#or if you want the whole ‘named someone their successor in their will and got killed very quickly’ you could say that she’s Ned#although then succession order would be wrong#that does leave us without an Elizabeth though. renly is my Elizabeth I though 😞#and THEN you get James I coming down from#Scotland to sort out everyone’s mess 🥴#<- and that’s why I guessed a stark. and an unimportant one at that who hadn’t been involved in the fighting I argued. it’s funny that I was#except he was gay and everyone hated him and he set in motion what led to the civil war so 🤷♀️#anyway as a girlie with a history degree nothing in those books is insanely#shocking to ME personally. although it’s interesting to see how my opinions have shifted in the last 4 years#early modern U.K. isn’t even rly my era and I still know this sndjdkfkf#also I know#in theory everyone says the books are based on war of the roses but imho robs rebellion works better in that sense than anything else#so then I use the Tudors as my framing for what goes on during the timeline#but again it’s all circular bc you have the war of the roses and not too much later you get the English civil war so#anyway dynasties I actually studied at uni are like. the Carolingians and Capetians and Hohenstaufen’s / Holy Roman Empire#and then tang song and Sui . which all give me a lot of perspective on how these processes work#election based succession no look at Holy Roman Empire#‘best amongst brothers’ succession yes look at dynastic China#my conclusion here is that renly was correct rip 🫡#<- although I would be remiss to not highlight that several Chinese dynasties did practise primogeniture. but many of the most successful#ones didn’t#like I still can’t believe so many fans still think renly was insane like blood tanistry literally was such a thing historically that it#even has a silly sounding name. it was widely practised#him wanting to call an older brother is also what dany did and no one shits on her for that 🥴

Chibi of my character, Marya Apostol, or how I nicknamed her, little Marie.
I made her during my English exam because we had to choose to do a piece of narrative or descriptive writing (and as you can probably tell, I chose narrative :)
#I definitely did not name her after one of the Decemberists.#but I like the name Apostol#gives off Religious vibes#oc artwork#art#cute art#chibi art#19th century Russia#19th century#1805#fashion history#Cross necklace

The fact they thought "crud" was offensive is just hilarious considering that word was near CONSTANTLY used in SWAT Kats back in the 90s, and that was a kids' action show! XD
alex hirsch going rogue… king shit
#ren and stimpy also got away with the word 'crap' on a semiregular basis in the early to mid 90s#but that's nickelodeon and they tend to get away with more than what disney shows can get away with on average#like spongebob made a 'man from nantucket' reference in one episode that's how ballsy nick is#like is disney trying to cater their shows to christians?#also disney LITERALLY has a cat character named lucifer#and made references to hell and devils in their classic shorts#like religious references ain't new and the fact they're NOW considered offensive to them is just so funny considering their history

How Jesus Would Recognize His Name: The Evolution of a Sound
Spiritual Essence The name Jesus as we know it today is a product of centuries of linguistic evolution, yet it may be far removed from the name Jesus would have recognized during his lifetime. This thought-provoking question touches upon the interplay of language, culture, and history—and the profound idea that the name of one of the most pivotal figures in human history might not even have been…
