Checking the mail (Twitter) for the third time today, hoping to receive news (an update) from my husband (JRWIshow) in the war (50hr+ video processing time). I miss him with all of my heart and hope for his return soon (please I just need episode 100, I need the blorbos). But alas, there are still no new letters, only the one left open on my counter (the poll, with the results “upload ASAP baba!”). The letter speaks of his return in a few weeks (within the next two days), but I don’t know if I can bear the wait.

damaris is nice like the drunk girl you just met in the bar bathroom who promised to slash your ex's tires

ninshubur is nice like the teacher you accidentally called mom more than once

mixcoatl is mean like he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and is trying to brave the day without coffee or a cigarette

ishtar is mean like she's definitely better than you and has never been told no

Discovery made: if I know I am going to gorge and theres like no way to stop my brain from doing it I just need to focus on eating foods that I know will make me sick after. This is exceptionally easy bc I am very gluten intolerant and all of my favorite gorge foods are gluten based in one way or another!

this way I end up feeling like absolute dog shit with crippling reflux so I wont even *want* to eat for the next 48 hours

Please ignore this baseless lil rant I'm about to go on about my feelings

One of the things that sucks about social media (to me) is that it's a popularity contest.

Whoever is smarter, funnier, got in on the ground floor first, etc. gets attention, recognition, better connections, etc.

It feels so much like fucking high school and I despise it.

Is it nice to be recognized and complimented, of course, who doesn't love that...but one of the things I have always loved about fandom is making connections and meeting people.

And sometimes it feels like a clique that you can't break in to.

It's no one's fault. I'm not angry at any particular person, just frustrated by the way things work and my own anxiety/cowardice.

I'm not well-known enough to reach out to well-known individuals to be like "hey, want to be fandom friends? can I join your discord?"

It's just frustrating to feel like you're on the outside looking in, missing out.

I think a lot of this is also just, me being hormonal, and whatever.

But idk, I'd like to have more connections and it feels difficult to make them.

Also, I am not ungrateful for the connections I DO have. I just also worry that I'm taking up time and space and being annoying because I have fewer connections and so all I do is talk to the same few people. I know they probably don't feel that way, but I feel guilty for exploding my excitement all over the place because HOLY SHIT YES LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS SHIT.

I get overly excited and overbearing.

Anyway, I just needed to externalize all of that and I will delete it in 24 hours.

Battle

-Before the final stand against Soul Tree's destruction, an important question must be answered for one to fully trust the Great Toruk Makto.

A war. A battle. They didn't care much for the difference. They would be fighting in it either way.

Jake had given his rousing speech, which had taken some of the edge off. But no one ever tells you of that moment. That pause between the whole inspirational speech and moving to actually do what the inspiring told you to do.

They had never gone to battle before. Jake didn't even want them to go. But they'd finished their iknimaya together and were both warriors, so he had no reason to force them to stay.

They knew it was itching at him. The night before, he had looked for them and asked them to stay behind. They said no, of course. Though it almost broke them to.

Not because they didn't want to but because he cried when they did. He nodded, understanding, but he still cried.

It felt weird to see him cry. On one hand, he cared and that felt nice. But on the other, he looked so vulnerable. The same look he had on when hometree fell and he could do nothing, bound for his sins. They should know, they were bound alongside him.

A part of them realized that he cried because war had already taken so much from him and now it could take them too.

They stood by their ikran, waiting for the rest of their group and going over the plan in their head.

"Ready to kick some ass?"

They turned, smiling. "If the Great Toruk Makto leaves some for the rest of us."

"Toruk Makto." Jake laughed, quietly. Unusual for him. "Are you sure you want to fight?"

They raised a brow. Was he questioning their skill now? Did it seem like they would die so easily?

"I mean- of course you do, and you'll be alongside seasoned warriors, but what I'm asking is- uh." He sighed. "We'll be fighting together. And I've got your back, okay? You know that?"

"I guess?" They asked, smiling when Jake seemed a little less tense even if he rolled his eyes at them.

"I mean, it depends." They leaned against their ikran, watching as some scouts began to fly off.

"Depends?"

They looked back at him. "I've never fought in battle before, or in anything. I've never even had siblings to fight with."

His eyes softened, patting their shoulder in some form of pity.

"That doesn't matter though, I just want to know one thing about you before I trust you completely."

Jake nodded gravely, seeing their serious expression.

"You have to think carefully about your answer."

A few bated breaths. He watched them struggle to say it. Worry sprouted inside him, questions of what could possibly be so hard to say occupied his head. So much so that he didn't see the glint of mischief in their eyes.

"Is it pronounced gif or jif?"

Confusion. He tilted his head slightly as if the words would process easier that way. And then, realization. "You idiot."

They laughed. "It's usually you on the other end of those words."

He laughed as well, and they beamed at the sound. They'd gotten a laugh from him before the big battle. That would be enough.

We are all going to die and our body hates when it's forced to work for longer than it is intended. An expiration date for being mortal, if you may.

Two chill pills for this person are not enough, bring the thousands of them, lads!

scrunching my face real hard rn

[tylerthegerm]

just had a really weird interaction on instagram. so there's this meme page neoliberalhell that is pretty funny. i was looking at her new post and the first slide is about that swiss guy who brutally murdered his girlfriend and put her body in a blender. and there was a quote tweet that was comparing the double standards to other cultures, like if that happened in any other culture other than swiss it would invite questions of their culture, religion, etc when that doesn't happen for white people. which i agree with obviously! but also i didn't think it should be the first slide on a meme slideshow. like the next meme was about elon musk being stupid or something. and i left a comment that said "normally love you, but maybe don't put news of a woman's brutal murder on your meme slideshow?" and it started getting a lot of likes. i went to bed and when i woke up she blocked me! like obviously just because i follow her doesn't mean we're friends lol but like that was the most milquetoast criticism. and i was right!! like come on girl

it drives me bonkers the way people don't know how to read classic books in context anymore. i just read a review of the picture of dorian gray that said "it pains me that the homosexual subtext is just that, a subtext, rather than a fully explored part of the narrative." and now i fully want to put my head through a table. first of all, we are so lucky in the 21st century to have an entire category of books that are able to loudly and lovingly declare their queerness that we've become blind to the idea that queerness can exist in a different language than our contemporary mode of communication. second it IS a fully explored part of the narrative! dorian gray IS a textually queer story, even removed from the context of its writing. it's the story of toxic queer relationships and attraction and dangerous scandals and the intertwining of late 19th century "uranianism" and misogyny. second of all, i'm sorry that oscar wilde didn't include 15k words of graphic gay sex with ao3-style tags in his 1890 novel that was literally used to convict him of indecent behaviour. get well soon, i guess...
