saw grass today. which was weird because I was out in the woods and the snow was up to my elbows. but I walked on some trails that had been shoveled and grass was poking through. it was green. why was it green. we've had sub-zero temperatures for 4 months. how is grass? green?
#it broke my brain#this winter has been so cold#last week it was -25c#this week it's only -5 on average and I keep thinking it's above the snow melting point#but it's not it's -5 I just forgot what temperatures that aren't freezing feels like#vitpost#I'm not complaining I LOVE cold. it's just. weird because after a few months I lose the ability to imagine#that this slumbering post apocalypse-like environment was green and alive once and will be so again#so seeing green grass was a bit jarring

actually i DO need to show everyone the cute moomin bathhouse pitcher i found at a discount
#i dont have any of the small moomin mugs bc they're too small for my preference and so expensive#you can get some in norway by donating blood? are they still doing that? so maybe someday#so i was thrilled to find a pitcher (something i was considering getting) that was almost reasonably priced#i just want to know. is the illustration from the lady of the cold storyline. because little my has skates on#but surely too-ticky wasn't hanging up laundry in the winter cold???? OR....#it's been a while since i watched the moomin vhs tape i had as a kid with that particular episode on it

Happy Holidays from a Guinevere playing the harp! :)

(not to mention PROPORTIONS)..; help#so despite my best efforts I am posting Gwen solo#anyway I hope everyone has a happy rest of December!#also ignore the hands here I TRIED#(and then I gave up)#also if you’re out there and cold with the winter weather then I am wishing you WARMTH and soft blankets#tbh Gwen’s outfit would not be realistic for me. it’s TOO cold to not be layered up#Merlin#Gwen#Merlin fanart#bbc Merlin#art#(also. HELLOO I haven’t posted much bc I was suffering the exam and essay woes. but I am done (for now) yay :)

Come on, he is wearing gaiters I couldn't resist + End of the Line speeding bullet
#tf2#tf2 fanart#team fortress 2#tf2 sniper#tf2 scout#speeding bullet#sniperscout#end of the line#Scout is totally making it worse with his cold ass hands#ALSO I've seen someone say that it mades no sens to hc sniper as someone who can't handle cold weather#because he certainly has been dealing with very cold nights in australian deserts#And fair ! but I'm sure there is a difference btw how cold feels in a dry windy desert and at the top of a snowy mountain#but I didn't find anything to back up this statement#and I only have the wet winters of northwest france as a reference#so this is as far as this statement goes

I run beneath the winter's icy skies while taking care to note the lovely scene so often it becomes a common sight and has no more enchantment for my eyes. Wrapped up within the veils of dull routine, to heaven's joy's I've given up the right. Yet when it seems my inattention bars my eyes from noting miracles unseen I stop to take a glimpse into the night and lose my breath to find the stars So bright
#fictionadventurer poetry#poetry#starfall#oh look another poem about winter stars#what a surprise#well look#i was outside last night#rushing inside because it was stupid cold#had been thinking about how taking note of the night sky to fight the dismalness means that it doesn't really hit the same anymore#but frankly at that moment i wasn't thinking about it at all#and then i happened to look up and it was like i'd been hit by a freight train#so bright#the stars looked about four times larger than usual#close enough to touch#it absolutely stopped my heart#and i had no right to it#absolutely no right#to be given such beauty when i'd let myself be numbed by mundane concerns#it needed a poem#i've wanted to write a curtal sonnet#and it turned out that ending spondee seemed the only way to capture that heart-stopping instant of being crushed by wonder#(wikipedia claims that since hopkins no one has used the form seriously)#(usually it's in poems explicating the form)#(this is inaccurate because 'the seventh raven' has an entire pov in curtal sonnets)#(but the form still deserves more serious consideration)#anyway here you go i've done my due diligence as a hopkins fan

Heat's out at work. The guy who came to look at it yesterday used the words "catastrophic failure" to describe what's wrong with it.
#text post#cold#it kicked on while he was working on it#and we got that lovely first time the furnace has been on in a year burning smell#which tells me it hasn't really kicked on this winter#then he had to turn it off#because leaving it on could cause carbon monoxide poisoning#yay#so im wearing sweats under my scrubs today#and realizing i am woefully low on warm/wool socks

sneeping with his legs up over his head for some reason... weird boye
#cats#love the second picture... skrungly sleepy well rested boye face...#since he's an elderly boy now sometimes when he wakes up from a nap he looks a bit scruffy and squinty eyed#Hard to beleive he's like 15 though.. he still looks like a kitten to me.. due to his giant round creature eyes and childlike demeanor#I think it's interesting that like... baby cats are babies. kittens are kittens. and you can tell a cat is like 'young adult' phase#looking from like a few months to maybe 1yr or 2yrs.. but after that they just always look the same to me#a 5 yr old cat is a 10 yr old cat is a 15 year old cat. unless the cat in question is particulalry aged or youthful#I still have so so little energy... it's been icy here this week. like not even FUN but just scary icy even thoguh i lOOOVE the cold#and its my favorite weather. I think it'd be okay actually if I had a woodburning stove/fireplace/hearth thing. literally thats my only#concern with the power going out. I genuinely don't mind stuff like having to go to the bathroom in buckets or cook over a fire or do other#less conveninet things. Its just that if eveyrhtng is electric then you have no way to cook and all of that. well.. and I literally need#background noise to go to sleep lest my ocd sprials become so loud I am slowly driven into maddness.. but a few battery packs or something#and a phone with one downloaded video I could play on repeat is fine for that. I dont need internet. ANYWAY.. so so sad that my fav#orite season ever (winter) is here. and the first cold of the winter is like... just an ice storm that you cant even walk in. I#love like 4 feet of snow where you can play in it and stuff. But just a thin flat sheet of a few inches of ice over every imaginable surfac#is not really playable. the wind speeds are so high and so many trees fall it's actually not that safe to go hang out outside anyway unless#you were in a totally clear open field. which is SAD also because i love ice and high winds. i love to stand out there and get whipped in t#he face with ice crystals and feel like I'm in some dramatic movie or something. but alas.. the threat of being attacked by a falling tree.#I did go out some but again it's like. literallyyou cant walk on it. so I just squatted and dragged myself along the ground lol#One of my stories has a whole section where the main characters are trapped in a deadly cold environment for a week and have to use magic#to survive and etc. etc. so I'm always like.. ouuu.. I should go in the ice.. it's Writing Research actually.. *foolishly gets frostbite*#THOUGH yesterday I went on a harrowing evil journey down a bunch of icy hilly roads to go check on some person's cat because the cat#had been left in the house for like 5 days at that point with nobody to check on them and nobody else seemed to want to do anything#about it (like call all of the neighbors or try to get someone out there) so I just went myself with a roommate who agreed to drive me.#It seemed acting totally normal and I gave it more food and water but.. I am still worried about it.. Apparently the person will be able#to get back to their house tomorrow but.. I dont trust them. But I couldnt take the cat with me because it's like.. a stranger's cat#basically and also no carrier + very skittish.. so I feared if I just tried to carry them bare handed they'd definitely leap from my grasp#and then it'd be like.. sliding on a sheet of ice chasing a cat and so on.. I still think they need to be watched for health issues tho >:|#ANYWAY.... many cat adventures lately... and strange weather... I wish for a normal week without always so many Things Happening.. augh

fucking hell i hate being sick so much
#marzivents#before the autoimmune shit being sick was annoying but i could get through it#it was fine. i didn’t like it but it was always over in like 2-3 days#i wouldn’t even miss school unless i was running a noticeable fever#(though by high school i kinda stopped checking)#now though? being sick is so much more treacherous than before#i have to rest so much. log this symptom manage that symptom keep your doctors updated#don’t stress out too bad! don’t wanna trigger a flareup#it’s scary. a cold could land me in the hospital if i’m not careful#plus. the symptoms of a cold feel a lot worse when your autoimmune flareups start like colds#it’s just the worst. am i gonna have to spend the rest of my life afraid of the common cold#how the fuck do i go about being immunosuppressed without developing germaphobia#i know that in a year or two this will feel normal and i’ll be used to it#but right now it’s still new and it’s so so frightening#it feels like everyone is sick all of the time. at any given point in time 2 of my friends have some sort of cold#this winter season has been especially abysmal#but even before then. several folks i knew had walking pneumonia in the summer#there’s all these outbreaks always happening. it’s terrifying#plus there’s the inconveniences of missed class time#i don’t want to miss school. i like school. i want to go and learn and get my degree#but i have to rest so i can’t go to class which fucks up my grades which stresses me out#which makes me more likely to get sick later! it’s fucking awful#i dunno. i need to go to bed i think. i’m just… stressed and tired and sick of it

no one look at me while I let him ruin every aspect of my life
#general maximus has been hitting hard recently#someone he just seems extra regal and majestic here#talk about a man who LOOKS like a general#not just the way he dresses but the way he holds himself#his carriage his presence his posture his command#his authority is humble yet powerful#i am once again indulging in the fantasy of him laying me down on a bed of wolf pelts and talking me through everything he wants to do#anything you say sweet man as long as it involves you and me in flagrante delicto for hours at a time#i just. i NEED his deep growly voice gently whispering in my ear#he looks so unbelievable in this armor and winter wear#but you know what he would look better in?#absolutely nothing in my bed#the necklace can stay but everything else goes#y’all!! i can’t help it!#physically cannot stop thinking about how snuggly and warm we would get under the covers together#it’s winter time and very cold where i live#and i NEED this man#he can have all my love and time and energy and loyalty and dedication#if he’ll just! touch me or something!!#hug me squeeze me birds and the bees me maximus#my big cozy bear of a husband i need his handprints all over me#general maximus does it for me every time#i am eternally kissing up his sweet perfect face and getting that armor strewn all over my bedroom floor#come and get me maximus! i am all yours for the asking!#you have a permanent reservation in the hotel de jane#gladiator#maximus#maximus decimus meridius#gladiator 2000#russell crowe

I love that one of the roles fire plays in this series is to represent how all consuming desire can be, and how it’s framed as something that can be world ending when uncontrolled.
So naming unnatural, untamable green fire ‘wildfire’ is therefore a stroke of genius. It’s the representation of how we humans manufacture our own doom in the pursuit power, of how uncontrolled desire will eventually blow up in our faces.
And the fact that barrels and barrels of it sit fermenting under Kings Landing, Westeros’s breeding ground of maniac desire, and the capital the ambitious and corrupt flock to for what it promises? It’s perfection!
#i’m sure this has been mentioned before~#fire is love and passion and desire and our desires and loves and passions can hurt us and those around us when not checked#green usually represents summer/nature/earth in asoiaf so is wildfire george warning us that an eternal summer is just as dangerous as an-#-eternal winter? maybe? who knows~ but it’s a fun thought#dany’s dragons being an embodiment of fire is kinda the whole ‘with great power comes great responsibility’ lesson in asoiaf and this is-#-why danys humanity is so fking important. while dragons aka the embodiment of fire can’t plant trees#-dany the girl dany the mother dany the human can and she can make a difference by using her fire responsibly <3#that’s why she’s nothing like cersei who’s connected multiple times to wildfire#fire and dragons =\= wildfire#wildfire is the human attempt to recreate something as effortlessly powerful as dragons. but it’s man made so it’ll never be the same.#but it’s important that it’s man made because it showcases mans desire for power and it’s important that it’s gonna blow up in mans face#tho this brings up questions about rhaegal and what narrative role he’ll play as the green dragon with green flames#i do have an idea of what it could be#jon SNOW aka the BLACK bastard riding rhaegal who’s the GREEN of SUMMER?#everything needs a balance 🤷♀️#alsooo#the greater the light the darker the shadow and drogon is both the black beast and the winged shadow cause dany’s an icon ;)#my very poorly worded point here is that the dragons provide some sort of balance to their riders :D (just a theory lolol)#asoiaf#jon snow#daenerys targaryen#pro daenerys#you’ll never see any dany slander on this blog she’s my girl my idol my cutie pootie <3#i don’t want ppl to think that i’m one of those ‘dany = the others’ weirdos who think she’s just as bad as the cold inhumanity of the others#patootie* whoops#i love me some messy tags

Living alone and so far from my family and closest friends is really really rEALLY hard
#my stuff#i’m doing my best i’m doing my best (not enough. bc it’s never enough.)#i need a hug i need to be held i’m hungry or cold or tired or all 3 for like 80% of the day every day#i know it sounds stupid but touch starvation is a real thing and it GNAWS at you#it makes you feel so small and wretched and isolated on a deep level#i feel like if someone tried to touch me or get close to me affectionately i would throw up as a rejection response#like eating something your body has forgotten how to digest#i’ve been loved i’ve been treated gently before but i don’t have that now and i miss it#because the touch starve coupled with everything else is just. devastating#the body is a machine and i’m keeping it running on 20 miles in the tank for months in winter and it’s been years since an oil change#i used to take a kind of pride in enduring hunger and cold and discomfort stoically#now i just wanna cry and curl up in bed and wake up in some magic future where everything is better#where good food is cheap and my friends are okay and the things that bring me joy are abundant and obtainable
