Loop and Sif fishing together? 🥺
Day 76: sleeping with the fishes
#in stars and time#isat#sifloop#isat siffrin#siffrin isat#isat loop#loop isat#desert art#i love picking the funniest day names#tbh I think sitting there with a fishing rod is like meditation to them#They're not aiming to fish anything substantial but it would be a nice bonus#if those two really needed to catch something they'd get into the wanter and catch it with their hands alone#insert the gang being flabbergasted#this one turned out like a color filling page (idk how they're called. coloring pages? yanno the blank image with lineart tgat ur supposed#to color)#drawing chibis is so nice. i don't have to worry about proper proportions that much#speeds up the process

Think You Know How To Meditate?
How to Meditate - no, not just sitting there being quiet. There are other ways, too.
I have a theory on why meditation widens perspective. Because meditation quietens the mind, it destabilizes the ego, which relies on your mind being a) chaotic and b) unobserved. Anything that destabilizes the ego necessarily widens perspective, because a stabilized ego left alone in the dark to flourish by definition has a narrow perspective that is admittedly unique from person to person but…

Just a girl who wants to be her mother’s daughter in the ways that matter
#Such a tenacious go getter & the smartest woman ik#Has NEVER looked back at a man twice. Knows she’s beautiful & that attention is guaranteed. Never desperate for male validation ever#The best fashion sense ik. She’s the epitome of classic & vintage#Doesn’t gaf what others are doing / is always tunnel visioned on her own goals#A mega workaholic and like. Maybe I’d rather balance but still she’s still an overachiever#I feel im becoming more and more like her by the day but still I have some work to do#Need to be more focused & to stop entertaining little boys fr#I just want to move w the unshackling confidence & elegance she seems to emanate effortlessly#I swear that woman was born that way!!!! So unfair for the rest of us mortals#Why does no one talk about the psychological torture that comes w having a naturally gorgeous genius mother#I’m dying over here I just wanna be like her but im pushing that boulder up the hill all the time#Meanwhile she’s always just On#HOW#Just an eldest daughter having a crisis about her mother who is also#The eldest daughter out of her and her two brothers#I need to journal about this I need to meditate#How to manufacture the drive that your mother was simply endowed with at birth#Not even joking I just got off my internship and now im sitting on a swing under the late May sun having a crisis about this

Tazercraft mental link but make it a lil bit weird, they’ll have a conversation mostly in their heads but partially out loud which from an outside perspective is just fragments of words and half sentences, they go dead silent for hours at a time only for them to suddenly start shouting out loud, very clearly mid-argument, Pac says something but it comes out of Mike’s mouth, Mike starts speaking with his mouth and finishes speaking with Pac’s, sometimes their thoughts become so tangled that they’re unsure who a thought belongs to so they both express it at the same time like horror movie twins, do you see my vision
#fae.txt#qsmp#qsmp tazercraft#tazercraft#there was gonna be fitpac (fitpacmike??) in this post originally but I chose to cut it out bc I’m not sure if it fit lol#(pun not intended)#but anyway#I just think that if you shared a mental connection with someone like that it wouldn’t be as easy to control as some fics make it out to be#not without like#an absurd amount of meditation and mental work#which let’s be real neither of them have the patience to sit down and do for several hours a day#and it’s extremely hard to control your own thoughts as is WITHOUT being connected to someone mentally#so I think if you had a bond like this it would be a little weird but they’d definitely be used to it#thank you for coming to my ted talk#maybe I’ll write a fic about this idk yet

today i was telling my therapist how i meditate and they said, i have never heard of someone meditating that way and i said wdym i'm normal!!! they said, you don't time yourself. you don't listen to guided meditation. you don't listen to any ambient noise. you don't listen to bells or chimes. you just sit there and focus on your breath until you fall off your meditation bench?? and i said well, when you put it that way, i do sound like a zen master. and they said, where did you even learn how to do this? I DON'T KNOW, BUDDHIST FAMILY MEMBERS? WHAT DO YOU MEAN. every day i meet medical practitioners who are baffled that i have managed to survive this long
#i think they thought i was joking until they heard me say no i don't like guided meditation it's too distracting#like oh i'm dealin with a real freak#sorry i like to sit silently during the sit silently time i guess??#fresno oilers.txt

Context: Transporter Accident Species Swap Kathryn. C'mon. Patreon | Ko-fi
Episode where Janeway and Tuvok have their species swapped by an accident or entity and while everyone's figuring out how to undo it they expect Tuvok to be the one acting different but he's generally the same* meanwhile Janeway's newly Vulcan brain is terrorizing her with nightmares and violence 24/7. *He has trouble with his human body more than any emotions. Like, he keeps burning himself on things he'd normally touch without thinking. He can't stay up and stay focused as long as he normally would (two days straight) and he isn't as strong as he was before. Anyway, Janeway's sort of suffering with both. She has telepathic abilities that would be normal for a Vulcan of her age and this along with the intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotion are...a lot. Tuvok: Have you tried meditating? Janeway: I'll rip your throat out. Sorry. Sorry. I've tried. Tuvok: Allow me to assist you. Janeway and Tuvok have a conversation about how she's not a bad person and Tuvok has to struggle with and control these sorts of intrusive, violent thoughts all the time. What makes someone a bad person? To what extent are someone's thoughts 'them'? What does a 'true self' mean? Basically Tuvok's like "These Human emotions have literally nothing on me" meanwhile Janeway's getting the shit kicked out of her - DAMN! These Vulcan emotions have hands! They also retain their personalities because they're still the same people. Janeway doesn't suddenly become stoic & logical and Tuvok doesn't suddenly become more outgoing. Tuvok also does not immediately turn into 100-year-old dust because it's a star trek episode and certain things are handwaved. In the end Janeway's like "Well that was absolute hell but in some ways it was interesting to get an up close and personal look into the Vulcan mind and I feel closer to my good friend Tuvok!" whereas Tuvok learned that he actually likes rum raisin ice cream. The B plot of this episode is that there's a certain light that keeps flickering in sickbay and everyone keeps passing off the task of fixing it so eventually the doc tries to fix it himself but he ends up causing a black out (which effects the A plot) and at the very end of the episode Harry's like "THERE. It's fixed."
#bea art tag#st voy#st voyager#star trek voyager#Tuvok#Janeway#Kathryn Janeway#there is rambling under the cut#fake voyager episodes my beloved#Tuvok: (free of violent intrusive thoughts) Logic is actually even easier than ever before now. This reminds me of kolinahr studies.#Janeway: If Chakotay keeps SITTING there I'm gonna kill him. I hate how he's sitting. I'm gonna blow up this whole fucking ship.#Tuvok: -sneakily eating rum raising ice cream- Captain please try meditating. -tries to lift something that would be easy before but is#now too heavy- ah.........the difficulty.#There is a brief moment of collective tee hee hee-ism where Janeway just lifts a whole bunch of heavy things up#including everyone on the bridge (not at once)#Doctor: =_= Guys. Guys. Guys. This is SERIOUS people!!!#<- they can't hear him over the fun

Because Geshela was worrying about my clothes being too thin for winter I bought some wool from Burnley and Trowbridge to make myself a pair of pants.
But this means I need to finish the turquoise pants that have been languishing in time out because I was sick of looking at them after embroidering hundreds of stars on the hem of one leg. I have to finish them because I modified the pattern I am using (graded it up to fit me) and I want to know if those modifications fit right before I start the wool pair using the modified pattern.
Part of me is like "uuuuuugh" and part of me is like "okay but right now I only have two pairs of pants I can wear outside the house so two more pairs of pants is a good thing." Then I think about the fact that I have to actually sew the pants together and I am once again like "uuuugh."
Honestly once I actually start, sewing is fine. But before and after I'm like "sewing is the worst." It is, unfortunately, the only way to obtain the things I want, though. So I will do it but I'm gonna complain the entire time.
I'm him
#I have a half finished outdoor meditation cushion sitting on my sewing table#will probably finish that first#then.... the turquoise pants...#aiming to finish those before the wool gets here#so I kinda need to get on it but I have a cold and don't feel like doing Jack Shit#v's fiber arts tag#sewing

"In a nondual context, "just sitting" refers to a meditative practice often associated with traditions like Zen Buddhism, particularly shikantaza (in Japanese, it literally means "nothing but sitting"). It is a form of meditation where the practitioner does not focus on any particular object, thought, or goal. Instead, they simply sit and remain aware of the present moment without attaching to thoughts, feelings, or sensations. From a nondual perspective, which emphasizes the fundamental unity of all things and the absence of separation between the self and the world, "just sitting" means resting in pure awareness. The practice helps dissolve the illusion of duality (subject-object, self-other) by allowing the meditator to experience the non-conceptual nature of reality directly. There's no effort to change anything or achieve a state—it's about simply being, without identification with mental or sensory phenomena. In essence, "just sitting" in nonduality is about letting go of the habitual tendency to differentiate and label experiences, aligning with the understanding that everything is interconnected and inseparable. It’s a way to realize the non-separation of mind and reality."
