i think i’m going to spend the rest of my life in the dark weeds of that pond, tromping in the boots to big on me, bleary eyed, being just loud enough to warn the frogs we were trying to gigg but not so loud the boys would catch on; our sticks are on the wrong side of “too sharp” and i could never outrun both of them, but have you ever heard the sound a frog makes when you stab it with a sharp stick? i can still hear it when i sit in that certain kind of silence underwater. i think i always will.
so its four in the morning, but the boys are too sneaky on their own and the toads wouldn’t stand a chance. so i let the boot fall a little too hard into the water, mutter my millionth “sorry,” and count the croaks that skim between the reeds
but the sun will be up soon, and i just have to make it to then and the frogs will go far enough into the water where the sticks couldn’t reach, no matter how sharp we make them. then i can sleep.

Mind blowing that this even needs to be said but
Neat run down of all the ways we're poorer now than in 2010. In case you come across anyone honestly asking 'are we more well off after 14 years of tory rule' no. You aren't. Even a little bit.
We analyse a key point of contention in the general election campaign: the government’s record on pay, housing, energy and food bills
It is a simple question – and it will be at the heart of the general election campaign. After 14 years of Conservative government, people are asking: am I any better off?
The answer for most people is – no, you are not better off.

i keep thinking ab ur tags on my post of iroh being a thief and stealing those perfumes but God. iroh being a guy that likes nice things and material pleasures and zukos love language is gift giving. he finds mai shells he thinks are cute... he steals beautiful tea sets and sweets for his uncle... AUGHH (GRIPS HEAD). Hes like a mangy grumpy little cat that drops weird shit at their owners feet to show love and devotion
YES AUGH
Zuko and Iroh on the run and Zuko knows how much his uncle misses all his nice things lost on the ship; that and Zuko is angry over their sudden displacement while on the run. Not only does taking these nice things give him a sense of power again, but it gives him an excuse to give something to his Uncle, who has stuck by his side this whole time.
And then Iroh questions where he got it from - he questions Zuko's love language. Like that was probably such an injury to Zuko, who just wanted a scrap of feeling some kind of control again ;; little skrunkly boy just trying to show/receive love while his whole life spirals.

“Aegon didn’t want the throne! He was forced into it because he feared Rhaenyra would kill his family!”
Yeah, the guy who threw a feast to celebrate his brother murdering their nephew and starting a massive civil war definitely was just concerned about his family’s lives and wasn’t a power hungry psycho.

for months i genuinely wholeheartedly could not tell the 911 guys apart and this is so important for me to stress bc throughout my life i have prided myself on being able to tell twins apart really easily and liking being that person to connect faces to other things ive watched or honestly just seen in passing like i could track down a random commercial actress and shit and i mean i suppose part of that is not knowing their characters and they just twin all the time but i apologize still im aware that mans last name is diaz and now i feel like im sitting here laid up @ all the tumblr lesbians like haha damn so thats buck x eddie? that said idk if im like happy i know any of this.

I’m becoming who I’m meant to be, slowly.
I’m inhabiting my body as a home as I make it such that it is a home for me.
💖😌✨
Also it’s a lovely studio! Masks required, hepa filters running, quiet area, but still near a bus route, was quiet once some of the people left (my artist was also super surprised that all of the tables were in use when they arrived at the shop too!!) and even though we didn’t chat (they put in their faq basically that they often forget to chat so bring headphones or whatever to do while they work) it wasn’t awkward or anything. It felt like such a safe space and I adore it so much :) (and it’s more local to get to than the other one that I’m definitely also going to go back to too at some point hopefully this year) (yay local queer owned covid cautious studios!!!!!)

I think the best meal I ever had was in 4th grade when me and a childhood friend single-handedly cleaned house on about $400+ dollars of king crab legs I’ve been chasing that food high ever since…
