#things that make me go hmm

Does anyone else think its interesting that Louis’s rat diet lessened his libido so much he couldn’t have sex with his husband Lestat but he miraculously got it up when Jonah did him some face in the moonlight? 🤔

Random musing of the day: I know I've only posted 2 Charmie fics (and one of them was me being a spiteful asshole so 🤷‍♀️) but I always assumed the venn diagram of kudos givers would be the same as for my CMBYN fics. Like, a 'came for the peaches, stayed for the UST' type of thing, and it just... isn't.

I guess I'm just kinda amused at the thought someone might have fallen for the boys first, and come to Elio and Oliver second ❤️

i’ve noticed that when i process the things that are rolling around in my brain and i write it all down in my notes app, it’s like i’m extracting stuff from my head and putting it in a plate so i can examine it more clearly. like Dumbledore and the Pensieve.

I just realized that drawing teenage mutant ninja turtle is basically drawing furry art…….

Huh. Alrighty then

Huh, wondering why a hot art history book that has been out in the UK since Oct 2022 — which is when I ordered it — has been repeatedly delayed in North America.

First til March and now May 2023. What is up with this?

Honestly, the price from a British bookseller with delivery might end up a good bit cheaper than the US price I have agreed to in a pre-order. Time to have yet another package shipped from a shop in Britain. This is becoming far more common in my life these days.

Also wondering if this is more common in general bc I ordered something from a British shop last week expecting it to take 7-10 days to arrive AND IT ARRIVED 1.5 days later. Turns out they had a US based warehouse so the thing I purchased (art supplies) was packaged up in Idaho and send via rapid fedex. The label had their England-based address as the return address but the fedex package was from Idaho.

My parents used to play that game, let's call it Dead or Alive. ("Honey, is Carol Channing still alive?") While I'm disappointed that I don't have a person to pester with the life status of elder celebrities, I did just see a meme that had me asking Google if Charles Manson is dead or alive. He's dead...not looking for a cell mate, in case you were wondering.

"It's not your job to save people from themselves. You can't expect them to change for YOU. Unless they decide to change for their own sake, you'll be stuck in a whirlpool.

It's human nature to be there for one another but not to the point where we let people become dependent on us for their own happiness or well-being.

If you want to change your partner, chances are they're not the one for you. If they don't want to change, they won't change.

People won't change for you or me. They change for themselves.

That's why, don't feel guilty for wanting your loved ones to change and then you take the responsibility to change them. This will drain you and lead you to disappointment and heartbreak.

You can't save them. You are not responsible for where their actions may lead.. But you can still show support and encouragement. You can still love them anyways."

hey uhhh but fr the concept of fallen angels existing but risen demons being an impossibility is kind of a great summary of sin in christianity

ok hear me out:

if one streaming platform has one movie from a particular studio, they should also have all the rest of the movies from that studio. for example, if netflix has howls moving castle from studio ghibli, they should have all the ghibli films. another option would be if a streaming service has one movie from a series of movies, they should have all of them in one place. for example: kung fu panda, toy story, the incredibles, the oceans movies, HTTYD, etc.

idk it would be nice to choose studios and series of movies rather than platforms that have the sequel to one movie or a few movies from the same studio but not all of them

Hey adults: Why do you like being an adult? What do you like about your life?

A couple weeks ago I told the kids at my work that "Being an adult is pretty nice, actually," and they looked shocked, laughed incredulously, and told me I was the first person they'd ever heard say that

So clearly we adults need to talk about this way more often

The past few years have been hard for a lot of people, me included. Covid sucked. I lost three relatives and three pets in one year. Right after lockdown ended, I got badly injured, and ended up housebound for six months and (much more) disabled for two years, and that sucked too.

And you know what? Literally all of that was easier and better than being a teenager.

I like being an adult. I like my life. Even when it's hard, it's mine, and I am building to the best of my ability the a life that I want to live.

I talked about a lot of why being an adult is something worth looking forward to in my last post, so right now I'll simply say this:

I love actually knowing who I am now. I love that I learned and am learning what I want and need. I love that I have independence and autonomy and don't get treated like a kid. I love the fact that I'm the one who gets to decide want I want to do and what I need. I also love that I'm learning to sew. I love that I've had pet rats, and next will have a pet cat. I love that I got top surgery. I love the way I've decorated my room. I love traveling to visit and crash and even just hang out and do work with my friends, when I can. I love that I started reading good news every day, and that I actually have hope for the future, and that I started this blog and have been able to help give so many other people hope, too.

So, here's a call to action for my fellow adults: comment or reply or tag what you like about being an adult. What you love about your life.

Let's give some kids some reasons for hope.

not to be so disgusting and gross about gojo on the dash but i think he's such a flirty, teasing idiot that, when you show him genuine and true affection, he goes all somber and quiet.

like you come up to him after dinner and stand on your tip-toes and hug him for no reason, give him a fat kiss on the cheek for no reason, and he just — lets you. doesn't say anything, just kind of hums and lightly places his hands on your hips, so gently you might not even know they're there. you tell him, "i love you, thank you for eating with me," and he presses his mouth to the top of your head, lips squished, and says it back, but there's no jokes, no teasing remarks. he just allows himself to be weak and to bask in it, for as long as he can.

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol
