#they should form a circle

[cosmicterrorthe8th]

Another Grant headcanon:

I think he wrote love notes when in relationships, and he went all out with like making the paper scented and stuff. But like he had no good perfume so he ended up using his horrible body spray. So like the lucky boyfriend would like find a paper reeking of the body spray like every once in a while.

Also I think he was someone who fell deep into romance because having a crush and feeling butterflies in his stomach was better than numbness. So he would pursue every crush even if he knew it would not end well because of the thrill of it. I think this sucked but I think he atleast felt like this is a normal way for life to suck.

you should kill yourself if you spend 12 minutes sorting around your notes on your desk, making sure they look messy but also the prettiest ones are on top, posing your textbook open and having the most "academia" looking web page or lecture slides on your laptop screen before taking a picture and posting it on your social media story while quietly scrolling through songs to put with it.

So idk about your local area, but one thing I've found is that being in your 20s and married eventually makes you the Cool Young Married Couple in Catholic groups, and you can take younger singles under your wing

My spouse and I are the least cool people imaginable, but we are 1) married and 2) the right age for young adult groups, so all these gangly new grads just decided that we're role models and we formed a friend group that way. I know that doesn't help much right now, but it genuinely feels 23-26 is the desert of despair for all parts of life and then suddenly you have a place again. Don't lose hope, you're seriously going through the worst part right now

We have other married friends now, so we're in a good place socially, but boy was it hard to find them.

It's not that the 20-something singles in the young adults groups don't want to be friends, that's not the problem at all. It's moreso that it is difficult on a practical level to develop close friendships with them, because we're just in such different stages of life with different priorities.

Examples: bachelors can decide on a whim to just go hang out at a bar at 9:00pm; my husband would rather be home with his wife by that time. My friends who have babies can't go to the 7:30pm young adult events because that's their kid's bed time. I don't go out to lunch with my young and single co-workers because we have a strict eating out budget as a result of saving for a house. We can still be friends with single peeps, it's just harder.

It's so much easier to be close friends with other married couples because they just get it. I planned our Christmas Party last year to start early so that all the baby parents could attend well before bedtimes. My female married friends and I meet up once a month for drinks and we talk primarily about marriage/child-rearing -- something I can't do at my young adult women's group (wherein everyone but me is single). My husband can talk to other married men about the philosophy of being a good husband/father and the challenges of implementing that in daily life. We hope to get to a point where we can have play dates for our (future) kids.

It is so important that young married Catholics have a community of their own, but I've never seen parishes that facilitate that in any way. We don't really belong in YA groups, but there's no other alternative, so we just have to like....make do and hope we get lucky and find other married couples there.

Being really passionately into your own genderbend au is all fun and games until someone has a different completely harmless headcanon about something you happened to have an extremely strong-set belief in and oh no it appears i have written a small essay in my tags on marik ishtar gender identity. How did that get there

Dude i feel like grieving my football era too. Just opened twitter and saw that Viv most likely will leave, Lydia is retiring, KO is retiring.. what the heck. After hearing that podcast on how they think Jonas doesn't really know how to fit viv into his plan, I kinda wished that viv just went to barca and experienced new things there. I know that she probably stayed for personal reasons, but she deserved better than this.. but i will follow whichever team she will go, if she goes. BUT I WILL TRY MY HARDEST TO MANIFEST THAT IT WOULD NOT BE MANUTD OR SPURS. lol

i mean, i don't think the outcome would have been any different had she gone to Barca. I think the girl would have been homesick the moment she landed there. Viv is homey and soft, she isn't a player who can just fly anywhere, play and be completely at home in 10 minutes. If her environment isn't what she needs she will not perform.

Really as a pro footballer (not as a person, purely as a pro athlete) that is probably one of her few flaws.

300 days into drafting this monster of a novel and I keep thinking — how can people write original stuff without having previously written fanfic? I would have stopped 100 times over if I hadn’t been able to go back to fic comments and read the flailing and feel the tiniest bit of hope that what I'm producing now might be okay...

staring at "slave of caper of euros' houses" from the comic dialogue. have i missed some Fun Worldbuilding (fun as in "oh god this sucks for everyone involved" i mean)

hmm... only maybe some subtle bg one! i haven't really talked about it specifically- but basically the lower circles are... if they are within facilities of some Iterator they essentially belong to the Houses. it's supposed to be the same relationship like between a citizen and the politicians of country, but the thing is that the lower circles have no say in what happens in the higher circles including voting and other important decision making

they are an afterthought in that kind of stuff. they are talked about like a piece of machinery- something the Houses control and own. a matter of course. "of course the lower circles are going to be there and meet our demands of resources! they have no other choice! this is where they belong." all the while they have to bear the rain and depending on the Iterator colony's Houses, they might get very little funding for equipment, towns upkeep n so on. they can't really Get out of it, because these facilities are where the civilization is and the world out there is a dangerous one. "what if my mask breaks and i will die out there repeatedly? i don't want to be a prey. i want to live. i want to have a purpose. that's *here.*"

it's like... a very subtle slavery, maybe. a kind of "dancing on the edge of laws and moral obligations" case. not Every place is that bad, including Ales, but at some point in her original life Sparrows breaks out of her self-inflicted vision of "what i went through as a child was okay" because she just won't be able to hold on to that lie anymore (faced with the comfort and safety as Euros' citizen every day) and she gets very angry about it and starts defining the lower circle life as slavery

Yesterday, during a dungeon where I played as a Machinist (ranged DPS), our tank disconnected.

I don't think any of us actually knew how to dismiss/reinstate a member of the party, so we uhhh... kept going?

Which meant that I ended up effectively playing the tank, because I could run away from the boss, which meant that I wasn't getting insta-gibbed.

We did finally manage to trigger the "dismiss vote", and then we had a tank and it was such a relief, but it was also not nearly as hilarious as me hauling ass around an arena as a dragon tried to murder me.

i honestly do not know how other people put up with being constantly bugged about updates regarding their 100% free long-term fandom projects. i'd personally be quite irked and would have to hold myself back from being too mean. y'all are stronger than me i'd be brandishing a knife.

if it's my fandom art or writing made for free and someone's curious about when X thing will be out or updated, my response is gonna be "it will be posted when it will be posted, bug off."
