I was re reading the house that built me (again) and honestly Eris as a girl dad just fits so well, like if he ever had more kids, it would just be girls, all of them varying on different levels of the Vanserra menace scale😭😭
No but seriously I re read the fic at least once or twice every month for good health.
I reread it once a month too. I want to rewrite it as a long fic so badly

quick reminder to everyone who uses binders - try to include some kind of physical activity without your binder on. This could be a short stretching routine or some kind of workout routine, which includes shoulders, especially push ups. Anything at all that strengthens those muscle groups BC binding, no matter how we do it, takes its toll and this way you can strengthen your muscles there, relief some tensions etc
#binding#this goes for everyone that binds#Or regularly wears tight sportbras#Or just sits a lot#We get tension in our back and neck#That shit leads to headache and stuff#Stretching and working out can help with that#ftm#transmasc#transfem#mtf#non binary#gender fluid#Cis women#Guys with gyno#Seriously#Try and strengthen those muscles#queer#queer community

so... basically, one of the first actions that barton does in the morning after waking up is the ' big stretch ' thing that cats normally do. and yes, he does this even if there is another person sleeping in his bed with him, so he is not embarrassed of it at all lol. it just relieves all of the tension in his muscles okok i'm sorry, i don't make the rules JSJSJ
#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#ANGER'S HELPED ME STAY ALIVE: headcanons.#here's a little tidbit for y'all about barton that i thought was a bit funny / fluffy. cue there at least being one or two cracks-#that come from his bones / joints right as he's doing this LMAO because it really is like i said... it just relieves the tension out of his#muscles so well for some reason so man's has been doing this for YEARS. but just imagine how confused a person would be if-#they had slept in the same bed with barton for the first time and all they see is just. barton stretching like a cat ☠️#AHH he really is something else sometimes isn't he guys

#if you see this#take a deep breath#hold for three and breathe out for six#take a few more#stretch your arms over your head and roll your neck#massage where your wrists meet your palms#unclench your jaw and rub little circles where your jaw connects#relax your shoulders and your glutes#check if you’re holding tension take some more breaths and let it drain from you#tonight I am here and telling you that the future is full of stars#I will send up a little prayer for u#for comfort and#for happy things#okay?#okay 👍

The absolute pure relief of finally twitching just the right way to get your shoulder to flop back into the right spot.
Don't mind me. I just had to shout the feeling into the void somewhere. The headaches/migraines have been really bad lately and I finally got on my little total gym thing and forced all the muscles to relax via exhaustion. Which means the shoulder with the labral tear was finally able to settle squarely back into joint. And most everything else feels so much better right now.
#Unfortunately I'm pretty sure physical therapy is to blame for the increasing pain issues of late#It's really unfortunate and/or frustrating when I have to do additional exercises to undo the damage that PT is doing#The total gym is a tool that I've found to be very effective at knocking migraines/body tension back down in the past#It's one of my go-tos when I'm having increasing pain that massage isn't addressing#I have no idea why stretching my muscles under load is so very effective at chilling them out#I think it's functioning similar to active release techniques#But my body requires that my muscles be loaded pretty hard for some reason#And I've yet to make sense of that one#rainbow pegasus zebra shit#hypermobility#muscle tension#total gym#physical therapy

It really is interesting how I can develop something of a fronted headache simply for furrowing my brows, a little, too much too long, something which I'm almost always unintentionally doing, cause I'm always so quick to tense and don't really know how not to be tense 🤷
#being aware of these things does help#but it does continue to be a little ridiculous#I hate when it disrupts my sleep :/#thank FUCK for those painkiller balm things when it gets too bad#blessed distraction#or like- I have to do “exercises” now again to abate the pain from jaw clenching. I mean I kinda do it automatically by now so it's not as#intense as it was when it first began becoming a Thing (oh those were some days...)#disability things#my rambles#disability#chronic pain#(I do think I read something somewhere about those temp things might cause a cancer risk from the repeated use... but...#I kinda don't have much else)#hm. I do dislike when people point out when I pause to stretch my legs or roll my ankles to try ease out some of the tension...

Shadows of Fear: Sour Grapes (1.9, Thames, 1971)
"Sprechen Sie Deutsch?"
"What? Uh, eh - eh, no. Nein."
"Habla... usted español?"
"Uh, no hablo. Inglés. English."
"Ich spreche kein Englisch."
"Oh, wonderful. Here we go."
"What d'you think he wants?"
"Feel free to ask."
#shadows of fear#sour grapes#classic tv#horror tv#single play#1971#thames#roger marshall#kim mills#isabel dean#daniel massey#ray smith#simon gough#strangely enough‚ this might be the episode of this show which most strongly lodged itself in my mind from that first watch all those#years ago. the thing is‚ tho i remembered the broad outline and some images‚ i couldn't remember *why* i remembered it.. if that makes#sense. was it because it was brilliant? or because it was awful? watching it again and it's entirely neither; it's pure Roger Marshall‚#albeit on one of his less than inspired days (and showcasing a vaguely troubling sense of gender politics which only occasionally shows in#his work). a middle aged middle class couple on holiday suffer a home invasion from a German on the run‚ it seems‚ from the law. the#language barrier is really the source of tension here‚ and is milked for all it's worth (another slightly stretched out ep). i think i may#have recalled it bc of the incongruity of the German character being played by good old welsh boy Ray Smith (i was probably not long#finished with Public Eye on that occasion) but actually watching it back now he's really quite good; his German accent and attempts at the#language are certainly more convincing than Massey's vaguely defined northern lilt‚ bless him. it's not bad nor great but the very ending#didn't sit great with me‚ as I suspect it didn't the first time. a rather slight plot expanded beyond its means. impressive villa set tho!#i wonder if they found that in storage? surely it wasn't built for this one off play...

sometimes i wish someone could pick me up by the head and just decompress my spine like that. shake me out a little.
i feel like this would fix me.
#bro i got so much shit happening in my neck and shoulders#and theres no good way to like stretch out my neck and release this tension#the worst is reading about all the diff mental stuff that can cause physical discomfort. like oh cool :))))))) stress can give headache??#talk tag

#like yes! his life is fifty million times more physically straining!#but my legs are built for dancing for four hours straight!#not! standing and carrying heavy things! for 7 hours straight!#it's different and serving in a restaurant is indeed more painful than dancing most of the time#maybe cuz i don't fucking stretch for work LMAO#no but i mean it he would make this all better#i just need his big strong hands to massage all the tension out of my legs!#not even in a sexy way!#just massage my goddamn calves please sir#. >> sammy ♥︎ !#. >> mari says shit !

there's such an innocence to when adam and harry kiss for the first time in all of us strangers: as much as harry is quite forward and directly asks if he can kiss him, they're very slow and careful about it. bit by bit they move their bodies closer as they hold each other's gaze and smile just so incredibly sweetly. adam feels shy about it because it's been a long time since he's kissed anyone and even with harry's nature and forwardness even he seems careful. they want to be careful with the moment and the energy between them, as any moment of connection like this can be fleeting and fragile and gone before you know it. adam forgets how to breathe, his mind must be running a mile a minute. and once they give themselves to each other after their first kiss they just let go, let themselves be only present in each other
#idk thoughts because what a sceeeeeeeene#the way andrew haigh directs relationships and the chemistry and the unspoken energy in a scene is magical#like it is so different in 45 years obviously but like there are so many moments in that film that are also very silent and the air is just#THICK with the feelings and thoughts of both characters.#all of us strangers has a lot of that in so many scenes as well.#there are a lot of more silent or slow scenes where the connection and feelings and thoughts are just palpable#its like a third character#a ghost that you can feel the presence of so clearly even if younever see it#and of course that says so much about the performances in it as well#like andrew and paul play this scene so beautifully and they hold that innocence and the palpable energy so well#they move just slow enough so its not dragged out but it doesnt cut the tension too early#they hold that tension and stretch it so well so when they first kiss it isnt entirely broken#and then as they let go you as the viewer also let go#god i LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!! i love andrew haigh and andrew scott and paul mescal#all of us strangers

I feel like I'm always discovering awesome aus on your blog lmao
There are so many other extremely cool bloggers who have like 10 different AUs that they post about and draw fanart for and I am both jealous and not one of those people. Sometimes I can just spend hours on their blog scrolling through their AUs, it's fun. Most of the time they're like a list of headcanons and worldbuilding and it's fun to mess around there.
I'm not quite like that, since I'm not a very creative person and when I have a good story idea 85% of the time I just write it. If I have a really robust series of headcanons for an AU I've written then I tend to just write another story. Also people send me asks where I can give more detail on my AUs! My stuff is always the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's fucking going on there, so I love the excuse to talk about it.
But there are some stories that I know are awesome ideas but will just never get written, which includes the Green Lantern story (I'm guessing that's what you're referring to?). I didn't really present it as a list of HCs, because my mind doesn't work that way, but just the summary of a story that won't be written. Thing is that I know for a fact it's a story with a lot of potential, but - and I really normally don't think like this - the audience would be so incredibly niche and the story would have to be so long that the ROI would be low. I write tons of stories that I never post, but those are usually because I have demons and my brain goes crazy if I don't write it. There's limited hours in the day.
All of my AUs and a few meta/HC tumblr posts are on the masterlist on my blog, so browse to your heart's content :)
#imagine if the no chip au was just a few rambly tumblr posts#nothing wrong with that whatsoever.#but I think I wouldn't actually understand the story or have the ability to make it a good story#if I didn't actually write it#I can generally tell by looking at an idea if it would make a good story or not#but oftentimes it's something you have to figure out while writing#there's plenty of stories on my gdrive that are two pages long because I realized it wouldn't make a good story#if a story is hard to write it's not good.#that's the case for me. good stories are easy. and ALSO hard. but good stories are easy and hard.#they're hard bc you have the ability to go above and beyond#and stretch yourself and do something great#badly structured or story ideas that don't work are hard to write bc they don't work#oh oh oh to clarify this:#it is easy to write SHORT bad stories#i have gotten into an argument on the internet about this#w/a guy who was like “i have no story structure climax or tension and my stories are great”#yeah theyre like 3k words. you can do whatever if it's 3k.#but a story that's meant to be longer collapses under its own weight#and it's PERFECTLY FINE to write 3k stories where not much happens#we write for fun do what sparks joy etc#but you won't grow as a writer#and imho very personally it's not fun to do a hobby and#never get better at the hobby.#you feel stagnant and talentless and you never get the satisfaction of doing something hard#..........maybe this is why so many writers on tumblr seem to hate writing.??.....ill never get that#oh well#my asks

I got the sleeves set into my velvet Yule dress, pressed the seams, tried it on
and then made the absolutely unhinged decision to completely replace the center panel of this 9 panel princess seam gown
#my sewing#velvet Yule dress#2024 mood#fuck it it's fine#I modified my pattern for a better fit in knits and then didn't think about how that would work with decidedly non-stretch silk velvet#so when I tried it on the other day it was just a little too tight through the bust. not too bad but I definitely realized my mistake#then I got the sleeves in and it was suddenly really obvious that the center front panel is just waaaay too narrow#but I knew I had enough leftover fabric to re-cut one (1) panel so I pulled it out to double check it#and there was enough but there was one of the bad scars I haven't been able to get out of the fabric right in the middle of the chunk#and I thought 'ok I'll mark that out with pins and if I can fit the wider center front panel there without using that part then I'll do it'#I had 2 MILLIMETERS of clearance. I mean that scaring could have gone into the seam allowance and it would have been fine#but I took that as a sign that I should just stop debating with myself over this and just DO IT#and actually so far it's gone much faster and easier than I expected it to#I've got the new piece all cut out and stay-stitched around the edges and the original center front piece removed#since I've been careful not to have my thread tension too high the thread just sliiiiiiides out of the silk in a really satisfying way lol#so now I've just gotta go sew the side fronts to the center front again#and yeah those are the two most annoying eased seams in the whole fucking dress but it's gonna be worth it#then I'll just need to re-sew the shoulders and I can get back to figuring out the neckline facing#but hopefully with the whole thing fitting MUCH better#hokay back to work#tagtalking

anyway when i first starting learning to crochet i made a scrunchie which i then gave to my sibling, and at some point the hair tie i used as a base for it snapped, so i decided tonight that since i havent crocheted in a while i should make a new one.
............my fucking WRIST
#im a bit out of practice so it took a bit to get started#but then it took uhhhh less than an episode of house to finish#so im a bit proud of myself for that :]#however i havent done this in months so my handdddd hurtssss#because it's not used to thissss#i need to remember how to get my yarn tension right without hurting myself augh#but hey! cute scrunchie for my sibling#oh i should make a second one for my mom though since ive seen her wear the old one that broke.......#after stretching and resting my wrist though

all rooms cable a/c free coffee by the extra glenns is jaskier and yennefer To Me. maybe no else but to me it is
#yennskier#witcherteevee#this blog is more than dead but i think about this on occasion#idk if it's necessarily canon them? but i can at least picture them in-song universe#idk. it's the grungy motel the kind of oppressive heat that you watch come off the asphalt in waves#yennefer looking way too good in a dress that someone shouldnt be pulling off that well#them languidly indulging in vices#jaskier distantly kinda knowing that he is gripping onto this person too hard#the air is thick with heat and tension#again i'm not sure if it counts for canon them but it's them in another universe i believe it#this is an au oneshot. do u get what i mean#them driving in the desert heat on an empty stretch of highway#out by the shitty hotel pool in that before-sunset intense orange light#when night hits it's all dim amber lights#exchanging insults and flirts but everything's slow like treacle#long stretches of not saying anything at all that feel appropriate in the level of heat#randomly intensely holding eye contact from 15 feet away
