CHANGLINGS R IN THE BOOK AND THEY ARE DISGUSTING WOW

(Putting this book illustration under the cut cuz it genuinely is gross guys this is ur only warning)

Lowkey glad my copy had this in black and white wtf

If you asked me to use only one piece of art from the book to summarize it, it would be this one, it just... captures the essence of everything perfectly

The perfect mix of comedic-ness and horror 🤌 like okay gross why did I have to see you coughing up your organs but also why are you staring at me like that sir blobfish looking ass

obligated Blinky highlight, he's so gross <3 I need to write a hit piece on him at some point would anyone be interested (I will likely do it eitherway)

Thinking about all the NFAK songs built around the act of looking at the lover. How there is an exploration of the manner in which the sight of the lover engages with the beloved. The sight being the first sense that interacts with the beloved, and what that means to the lover. How sight lets you build what you want to make of your beloved without touching them. Akin to how one might interact with god because one can't touch god.

"Kiven Mukhre ton Nazra Hatawan" being an ode to how you can't take your eyes off the one you love because you see god there. "Je tu akhiyan de saamne ni rehna" being this sulky, pouty demand you make to your love to return your heart if they are not going to be there in your sight always. "Akhiyan Udeek diyan" a reminder to your love that your eyes are waiting for their arrival, to get a glimpse of you. "Chaap tilak sab cheen" being about how the lovers world collapsed when their eyes met their beloved's. "Ye Jo halka halka suroor" literally telling the beloved that its their gaze that is responsible for this constant state of inebriation that the lover finds themselves in. A love so intense, so potent, that even when the least invasive sense is exposed to it, it's enough to capture a whole gamut of human emotions.

OMG HDU NOT REBLOG LITERALLY EVERYTHING U LIKE?!?!

I did notice that some people (vagueblogging) who go on about how LIKES DO NOTHING YOU MUST REBLOG EVERYTHING and YOU MUST SUPPORT CONTENT CREATORS WITH REBLOGS OR YOU MURDER FANDOM actually run quite tightly-curated blogs themselves. So either they just happen to only enjoy (and thus - of course! - reblog) content very similar to what they make themselves or... they're not actually reblogging everyone else's posts the way they demand we do of theirs. Is this because, I venture, they want to keep their own blog to fairly consistent themes, because they know that if they just reblogged literally every post they appreciated in some way they'd appear on their followers dashes so often that people might go "they're getting a bit spammy, I can't keep up with this flood of widely varying content I have no personal interest in, I'll just unfollow them"?

There have been one or two angry posts about the moral responsibility to reblog everything you see where when I go to the OP's blog it's oddly coherent in theme and consists mostly of their own content or already popular content that I don't know was mostly there to maintain a reciprocal promotional relationship but like... I do wonder.

I just happen to only like things made by popular people who make content similar to my own, okay?!?! You though... you need to put my desire for fame and tumblr popularity over your own desire to curate the content that appears on your blog, as well as over any concerns about 'spamming' your own followers. My content could never be considered spam, by anyone! Why don't you support me? THIS IS HOW FANDOMS DIE YOU KNOW!!

woohoo spiraling out of control right now (what else is new really I've been fucked up and spiraling for weeks now) and trying to figure out reasons not to delete my tumblr and discord and myself along the way

but you know. talking about myself on my blog automatically means I'm attention seeking and fishing for pity right? should just shut up and stick to the news eh, it's all I'm good for :D

anyway if you need me I'll be in the corner reliving the past, coming to terms with reality, and trying to convince myself I'm not the problem despite every indication to the contrary ✌︎︎

the worst bit about being Super Excited about a new original project is, like. the knowledge that. at best. people aren't going to see it for a year and a half to two years. and that it's really hard to go "hey trust me I'm going to have something so cool in like two years so please stick around now"

my chronic fatigue in the past months is slowly morphing into chronic pain and i can’t fucking cope. i’m not seeing the rheumatologist still for another whole month. i have no clue how i’m going to handle school. i’ve lived with this absolute lack of energy for so long i anticipated it, i thought “i can push through.” but now my fears aren’t even about coping with the stress and exhaustion, but purely physical and logistical. how am i going to walk or bike to class when a flare up now entails physically struggling to walk and i chose a dorm slightly off the main campus? will the joint pain prevent me from practicing piano when i need to be at least proficient for my degree? if this is how my joints and muscles feel now, how excruciating will the pain be when the michigan winter hits? i just don’t know what to do.

like with my eldest brother it started bc my mom called me at work from the hospital like ur brother needs to see him we don’t know how much time he has and it’s like all my brothers HAVE to do is call and visit my dad. and if they didn’t want to and said as much i wouldn’t care but he has emphasized he does want that but like he lost the last chance to have a fully lucid conversation with my dad face to face by putting off seeing him after the incident in january even tho i literally reminded him of when i’m available to help him do this every fucking week and then he’s gonna end up not seeing dad while alive and i’m calling him and planning the meetup while crying on an extend break at work and oh my god he is not helping during any of this fucking process

The spousal person and I got married when we were 21 but we never wanted and so never had kids.

In September we'll have been married for 22 years, and we're still very happy together.

Other people are different from you. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do just because others are doing it, and you can let them go live the life they want without judging them.

If they're happy and they're making the right life choices for them, and you're happy and you're making the right life choices for you, then why this insistence that there's something wrong with people who are happy with life choices that are different from the ones you personally would be happy with?

Dawg how are you 22 with a wife and kids you should be outside playing
