#this has been quite enjoyable

I like how we were talking about coincidences and one *just* occurred!

Someone where I live actually recently got hit by a train. I don't know any of the details but I do know: the train was immediately stopped, and it doesn't take THAT long to clean up, since the train was leaving the same day that the accident occurred.

Now, away from the solid facts I know about the incident and onto my own theories about what would happen: I feel like it would just crush a lot of bones and then as the train slowed down, you would eventually loose the air pressure holding you against the train, and would fall. Some limbs would be crushed or torn off, but you probably wouldn't be shredded to bits.

Also, open caskets are ONLY offered if the body is in good enough condition. You can request it, but the request is only accepted if they are able to make the body presentable. So, thankfully, no Frankenstein monsters during burials :3

As for my shower thoughts.... I watch a lot of book/show/movie breakdowns where they go in depth about the symbolism of certain scenes. About how EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL. ment something in certain media. How much of that is actually decided by the creator, and how much of it is people looking WAY to hard into things?? I remember having to write a THREE PAGE ESSAY on the symbolism and literary tools used in ONE paragraph of a book once and... I just could not for the life of me belive the author intended for this one paragraph to have three pages worth of meaning in it. I don't think I could ever write a paragraph with three pages worth of meaning in it (at least... on purpose).

What's your favorite genre? Mine is fantasy or thriller (not the blood and guts kind but the constant suspence kind. To much blood and guts can actually turn me away at times)

Also, sorry this is so long, and goodnight, I'm heading to bed!!!

ah, wow. what a coinkydink. also, thank you for the fun facts! i will treasure this information.

my teacher has us do this ReadTheory thing where we read passages and then complete a quiz about the passage, and some of the questions are so analytical and they even start using wording and phrases that the teacher couldnt understand at times. i get where you are coming from when you say people look too hard into things. ive seen theories about Aus that i follow that are literal ESSAYS. it makes my jaw drop every time. sometimes in a good way tho :D

as for my favorite book genre, id have to say fantasy fiction. mainly animal based for some reason. like Familiars or Wings of Fire. i dunno, i find them interesting. (although, the turning away from blood and gore thing is one thing in which we differ. there are some authors who can go into such gruesome and amazing detail when it comes to stuff like that, and i love reading it. maybe im just a psycho lol)

I wont give you a question since you are going to bed :) sleep well and have a good day tomorrow! i have school and the theater practice so i likely wont be on a lot this week. maybe at night or early morning tho!

arrivederci my friend!

concept: "folding fitted sheets" to the tune of "crawling in my skin"

This got a sensible chuckle from both my wife and I.

the secret key to writing in character dick grayson is that dick does not get enjoyment out of relaxing or doing fun things. its a hard mindset to understand because it's the opposite of what you or i as fandom people experience, but Dick is never shown to do things for fun. if he's watching a movie or playing a game, it's almost always to spend time with other people, not because that's his impulse (and lowkey he sometimes ruins it for other people by never being able to turn off his brain)

now, this is not to say that he's unhappy, or that he doesn't experience happiness in his day to day. but he doesnt get that from the things that we, as comic book readers and fanfiction writers, get enjoyment from.

Dick is the definition of a workaholic. His only enjoyment comes from a job well done, helping people, and sometimes adrenaline (as his only real canon hobby is...skydiving)

im so obsessed w them that I made fanart AND my own playlist

No no ikr. The ENT fandom is so quiet around here. And honestly I'm just excited to see art of my favourite dudes, because we rarely get fanart around here, and when we do it's usually Trip or T'Pol solely. Malcolm gets left in the dust quite a lot so I'm happy you drew him as well - and so well done too!

Anyway, ramble over, lol.

OMG... Well I think I can see why a lot of fanart is of Trip and/or T'pol (those two seem like they're doing some heavy lifting for the show/are just a lot of people's faves. I've got a few half baked ideas in mind for them myself.) but the rest of the crew as a whole do deserve more love I think! :]

so if you romance and ascend astarion you can kick him in the balls when he tries to turn you and it’s just very funny, he’s so pissy about it. so much for the most powerful vampire of all time or whatever, he stamps around like a toddler and then leaves forever

My ability to have like three different things I'm in the middle of drawing, still feel like I want something else to draw not work on any of them, only to get caught up staring at some fanart from an artist I like that made its way on my feed somehow and have the urge to open up my drawing app because I got busy ogling and fawning and need to get it out of my system.

im enjoying metaphor refantazio so far i think my only complaints r that its so sad the 3d models r so bland when the games aes is so gorgeous and the world so fun.. and that i hope the characters become a little more three dimensional over time theyre all like intriguing but seem to only go fairly shallow… well actually i have a third which is that the ost is a lot more repetitive and uninspiring than id expected it feels a little bit like im back in fire emblem. its not a bad one it just. hasnt impressed me yet?

I am getting so fed up with myself I just can't get myself to do anything

I just finished reading Why Fish Don’t Exist, truthfully I think it is a book everyone should read if they are able to. It is sort of both the author’s personal memoir and a dive into the life of taxonomist David Starr Jordan. It serves as both a powerful heartfelt discussion on the meaning of life and how we should prevail through chaos, as well as a heavy, insightful discussion on how those in power are able to bend history to their benefit. Even how the author reveals information about the subject matter serves as commentary in itself. I will say towards the end of the book (chapter 10 and onward for the most part i believe) there is heavy discussion of sensitive subjects regarding the history and devastating effects eugenics and genetic cleansing has had and continues to have, so if you don’t feel like that is something you’d be able to read through that is understandable, or if you would like to try I’d recommend being in a stable mindset before doing so.

anyway i need to hang out with my brother again he is the one person who i am pretty sure knows literally everything about me so he's the only person i trust that i can absolutely not disappoint. nothing i can do could be worse than the sum of everything i've been doing to that poor man (and him to me) the past 19 years
