everyone out of the way, this is the only thing I'm going to be thinking about from now on.

(okay, there is one more thing)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #lost in the book with nightmare before christmas #hajimari no halloween #jade is having the time of his life being a nasty little mofo and i love him for it #and gosh...leona and sally being friends is SO cute #sometimes i forget that leona is canonically a feminist #sally poisons a man and he's like 'you go girl'#they have so much in common though!#they both have eye scars and no ears on the sides of their heads!#no but they're adorable and i love it #and i suppose i have to reluctantly admit that i understand why lilia could not be in this event #he would just be stuffing frogs into his mouth left and right without even blinking #every time we get a moment of culture-clash he would just be there like 'mm-hm. yes. i do not see the problem.'#man. i do so adore any event that forces the boys to Work Together #their one weakness...not being petty dipshits who get into slapfights at the drop of a hat #absolutely nothing got done that first day and the mayor set off the emergency alarm because he was so done with them #this is perfection #anyway brb gotta go do some missions for the other jack's birthday #see you next week for more of scully becoming increasingly disillusioned with all these fake halloween fans

got this ad for bandanas on instagram tonight (because the cursed algorithm has correctly identified me as a queer cowboy appreciator) and one particular pair of comments felt like the sort of thing i should bring to the "why lamp" contingent of the deancas fandom...

#why lamp #destiel #deancas #i wish there was a way to format these screenshots that kept them readable without making my post look like an ad >:(#alas #cass says things #yeah it's 1:30am i should go to bed #i have unfortunately been seized with the desire to draw Them with the moth hankie #but perhaps for the best i left my drawing stuff in the garage and the alarm has already been set #and turning that off to get my tablet is a whole extra step i cannot be bothered with #so maybe i'll do that tomorrow #as a treat

I had a shrink appointment today and while I could not see it I knew my doc was going through the five stages of grief while I explained my fool proof strategy for doing my t shots despite a crippling fear of needles: By abusing my vastly more crippling fear of being an inconvenience.

My mother and I play phasmophobia together every week. she usually has a pretty limited time to do this bc she's like. a doctor and a college professor whos always busy. So I asked her to just. hold me to doing them. We don't start playing until the shot is done. so my needle fear doesn't matter because now it's Wasting™ her time and I have to do it quick. Using one neurosis to defeat another.

It's a horrible coping mechanism because it's feeding the inconvenience fear, but it is definitionally a coping mechanism.

#im a 'has a panic attack during every injection or iv theyve ever gotten' type of scared of needles #no it genuinely has nothing to do with pain the needle itself is the fear not the using of it #like i told this story before but i have these sewing pins with lil bow ties on them and i had to get my dad to take all the blue ones out #because they were triggering the same part of my brain iv needles do #just the sight of them with the rest of my cute sewing pins was a problem #And the fear of being an inconvenience is so bad i cant eat around people or be in crowded spaces or talk at get togethers #without being paralyzed by fear of Being In The Way. its so bad ive been avoiding using my power chair bc it makes me take up #slightly more space than i would just standing. and i never took my manual out and about because i moved too slowly in it #and i dont take my crutches on planes despite using them everyday bc they cant fold up like my cane can and so are In The Way #one of the big reasons i dont use the chairs in stores is they have back up alarms. and i hate making noises in public #Yes this is part of the reason i want a Rottweiler for my service dog because i want people to look at the doggie Not Me.#I like people! i like being friendly and talking and making little connections with strangers!!! But i cant be the one to initiate or #be In The Way of a peaceful moment #dont look at me #this is also a big issue i have with making friends or changing the nature of a relationship because like. im autistic #I have Rules for social interactions memorized that i will follow. but moving people from one category to another #is difficult. It is too the point i had problems for litteral years talking to my boyfriend as though #he was a person i knew well and cared deeply for because i kept using the 'rando guy im flirting with on the Internet' script #I have commissioners i want to be friendlier with but my brain says No Stop that is an Impolite and Overly informal way to talk to #a customer™ despite them not being customers when they arnt in the commission process #im like thise huskies who are scared of carpet because its Different than the floor they're currently standing on #its Too different:(#and to be clear i am Completely aware of how none of this makes logical sense and is in fact deeply self destructive #That does not fix it. it is so ingrained in my head that im certain i could convince my brain to let me bite off my own fingers #before i could convince it to let me talk to someone at a help desk or ask my order be corrected at a restaurant

A female artist/celebrity: Hey, while I'm really happy for all the support you guys as my fans have shown me, can we please establish some boundaries? Some things are starting to make me uncomfortable. Again, I'm grateful but--

Said people the response was aimed towards: Oh so now she thinks she's too good for us? She's so ungrateful, letting all the fame get to her head. Doesn't she know that without us, she wouldn't be as famous? She should just suck it up!

#tell me im wrong bc you can't #this is how some are acting towards chappell roane right now and all she asked for was boundaries to be established #there's this common theme still where people will treat celebs as less than human just bc they're famous & that's so wrong #they share their talent with u as fans and can't even get any decency in response #it's also alarming how quick people are to victim blame these celebs especially female celebs/artist as if they asked to be harassed #there's always a threat of harm to women (especially if they are a woc or queer) already and getting upset with them for wanting to take #caution seems like a bad hill to die on #its also annoying when sadly something does happens and the response following is “how could this happen? we need more boundaries!” and will #then turn right back to their old ways 🙄#lowkey reminds of how there was a wave of hate towards actors (eg. penn badgerly) for saying they didn't feel comfortable doing sex scenes #(which they are within their right to set up boundaries) and yet some fans made it seem like they were in the wrong for wanting autonomy #even tho countless other celebs before that talked about how uncomfortable and evasive the treatment on sets were for them #so their concerns aren't without merit #is it really that hard to establish parasocial relationships with famous people?#chappell roan #megan thee stallion #beyonce #taylor swift

the virginia woolf reading experience

oh god what is this syntax. brb i need to apologize to the french

[stare off into space thinking about free indirect speech and her utter mastery of narration and the complexity of thought she is able to transfer, and how the absolutely batshit syntax is part of how she achieves this]

[stare off into space thinking about the nature of consciousness]

the books that are masterpieces to me are those that cause a feeling of such profound unity in every paragraph that you want to run into the street and shout its sentences to people (to say, hey, this author gifted me a piece of the world's substance made manifest in language, and i received it, look at me receive it, and now you receive it, let me watch you receive it), but are nearly impossible to extract from because to remove any passage from the ecosystem the author has created for it/out of it would be to remove its potency. because the content and the form are so inextricable from each other and from all that comes before and after

[stare off into space thinking about the miracle and limits of human connection to other humans & the void & mystery & death & history & posterity & suffering & love & understanding & smallness & bigness & entropy]

[cry]

#there comes a point in to the lighthouse when (if you're me) you feel the overwhelming urge to boot up jstor #and search for 'virginia woolf free indirect speech'#and read every result #but you don't because then you wouldn't be reading to the lighthouse #my posts #virginia woolf #books #i read the first 40 pages last night and i know i was tired but it was still alarming to have to be like wait a minute #why is this harder than reading french #this is in my mother tongue right? i'm fluent in this language?#and this is a book i have read before and loved so much i went out and bought a copy #but i got in the rhythm and it's coming easier now #the craft of her narration makes me crazy. she switches pov within the same paragraph sometimes multiple times #and she goes between different points of time often without going into pluperfect to distinguish them - as if everything is happening #simultaneously in that it has all happened previously and time is both expansive and everywhere and yet also condensed to one #single point containing everything that has ever happened #and she somehow pulls it off so that you can follow it. or sometimes you can't follow it but that's the point; you're supposed #to not be able to follow it. which creates an incredible sense of being in someone else's mind and experiencing what they're experiencing #and it's all in third person! this makes me insane. i love this insane transfer of energy & consciousness that is writing & reading!!

four exams down, four to go

#also I totally overslept for the first one today😳#worst thing is I plugged in my phone before going to bed and when I woke it was by my pillow #so apparently I somehow managed to turn the alarm off without remembering #but both exams went well so it doesn't matter #and one of them was among the three ones I dreaded/dread a little therefore... so far so good #therese rambles #this is not a studyblr #is apparently a tag now

The thing about Forever and Bad is that they don't know how to deescalate, and they start at 100 straight from 0 every time with each other. They will spend hours arguing about semantics that don't matter. They will go to the extreme ends of pranks (which as fun as the audio remixes were, spending hours trying to find the source was literal hell genuine psychological torment). They will go for the throat just to antagonize the other.

So no, I don't think Forever knows a thing about Dapper or the other eggs whereabouts. He just knows better about the way Bad operates, the way he lies and deflects. He's familiar with his crafty words and how he turns a conversation on its head. He knows that what Bad is being accused of is entirely likely, that he is not who he usually is when the eggs are around. And he knows that Dapper, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is who Bad cares for most of all.

This isn't something he can argue hours about, to chip away little by little like he usually does. For both the safety of the worker, because the longer they're locked up surely the worse off they'll be - and for the safety of Bad, who if he wasn't under extreme watch by the Federation, he certainly is now, after Tubbo very loudly accused him in his Federation office.

He goes for the throat, immediately playing a trump card that he knows Bad won't just brush off or ignore, because as much as Bad can be unpredictable, Forever knows that Bad cares about the eggs as much as he does. As questionable as his morals are, as slippery as he can be to pin down, Bad has always placed the eggs as the highest priority - and he needs Bad to have no choice but to be honest, or to knock him off guard enough that he'll give him something to work with.

Is it fair? Maybe not. But when has Bad ever played fair with him?

#I haven’t watched forevers POV these past few days so take this with a grain of salt. this is a ghostie perspective #it’s like. there’s so many moving parts in this scenario. but we can all agree that bad was never morally right for kidnapping the worker #mf tortured them then developed some odd reverse Stockholm syndrome. we been knew bad is not a good person though #like. I’ve said it before I’ll say it again. bad highlights the difference between nice and good. because he is nice he has the capacity to #be generous and sweet. but my god he is not good #also. Tubbo man. the way he’s gone about this is so messy like. he’s caught on to bad that’d be good! if it wasn’t for the fact that #he played all his cards instantly in the middle of a federation office. like fuck man you’ve tripped alarm bells before you even knew the #damn situation. before you even had undeniable evidence. forgetting bad atm since ron doesn’t want to go back to the Feds this places him in #a terrible situation. it’s like it was not handled with tact or care and there will be consequences for acting without more knowledge yknow #also bad getting taken by feds will be bad for the eggs. straight up. as much as he deserves consequences for his actions it’s like the feds #are not who you want giving out consequences ffs #qsmp #mcyt #q!bbh #q!forever #bbh #forever #z speaks #also SORRY REPOST my organizational tags weren’t working you understand <3

Hi! I love your brain.

So what are your thoughts on Remus x Barty.

Im not quite sure they could work together so that’s why im writing them together but I see Remus as a more sane Evan. And a tiny bit more of a loser.

Barty is fun. You know him quite well, anyway.

It’s like rosekiller but at the same time I can never see Remus handling Barty well, I think for wolfstar angst it would definitely work. Where Remus went with Barty (because Barty and Sirius do have a similar style. Just Barty does it better) and Sirius is really jealous. That’s where you could add Evan. Because Sirius and Barty, and Evan and Remus. My mind is all over the place so I apologize for how much of a mess this ask is.

Barty would be a toxic ex for Remus. They tried it, and it never really worked out. Unless there were others. Like if you added other people it could work, because the main thing pulling them apart is that Barty is much too insane. Other people could handle that part, and they could actually be happy.

Maybe Evan would work. I’m not sure, but that is not my point!

Barty is energetic and Remus is not. So it works like a family dynamic (which probably isn’t good for a relationship) so all that aside, now I’m wondering about friends. Because I think it’s all or nothing. But at the same time there’s so many factors to think about.

So, what do you think about it?

i must admit i’ve never thought about it before…but the way you’ve phrased it here has definitely piqued my interest. i’m a loser!barty truther, and i see him as the kind of guy to skip merrily over to a dungeons and dragons club after giving someone the best sex of their life. i see him and remus as somewhat similar in that sense (they’d both be classified as ‘weird’ in an american high school), and they’re mostly separated by the fact that barty is extroverted, and remus is not (↤ take this with a very generous pinch of salt). barty wears his ‘loserness’ with a sense of unbothered flippancy; he does not care that his interests are stereotypically ‘weird’, and he will happily ramble on about the latest instalment of whatever vampire comic series he’s into at the moment (whilst blowing vape smoke into your face). on the other hand, remus is somewhat more self-aware- he’s shyer and much more awkward, and definitely extremely self-concious. however, i do still see him as having that same cruel streak running through him that is very prominent in barty’s character, to an undoubtedly lesser extent, but nonetheless present in him as well. remus can be cruel when he needs to be, whereas barty is cruel when he wants to be.

the idea of barty being remus’s toxic ex…yeah. this is the option i’m leaning most towards in terms of a ship between them, because barty crouch junior is the ULTIMATE toxic ex. he might as well have written the goddamn rulebook on it. with ships like bartylily, bartylus, they all work sm better (for me) with them broken up, and i think it’s safe to say i will be adding bartyremus (we need a proper shipname for them) to this list. i can see them meeting at some sort of convention, maybe hitting it off (barty talks!!!! and remus listens!!!!), but, as you said, barty is a bit too insane for remus. i think barty could unlock that aforementioned cruel streak in remus, he could bring out the worst in him. and i think this would scare remus away more than anything barty himself could do- remus leaves because he starts to hate himself, not barty (although he eventually hates barty for causing it). ie- it’s not barty throwing a plate against a wall that ends the relationship, it’s remus.

a lot of the time i like to think of barty as a foil to james, but it’s also really interesting to now think of him in comparison to remus. in the grand scheme of things, they’re not THAT similar (hence the generous pinch of salt mentioned above), but i can see them being drawn to each other due to similar interests or whatnot. i don’t see them as working particularly well as friends, but barty as That One Ex-Boyfriend? who makes remus roll his eyes when his name is mentioned? who sirius despises with a burning passion? who will hit remus with the “u up?” text at 3am? yeah. i can see that very clearly.

#a #i love thinking about barty in capacity to other characters #honestly i think he can work with anyone if you tweak the circumstances enough #↤ hes a character without an actual personality (he tweaks HIMSELF to fit in/make other people like him)#i used an alarming amount of brackets in this #i think of sirius as bringing out the best in remus and therefore barty bringing out the worst #please someone else share some ideas about them because i’m kind of obsessed now #barty crouch jr #remus lupin #t

do my roommates suck or am I just being uncharitable

#bolo speaks #I'm in my first apartment after being in the dorms forever and have these roommates who keep inviting their friends over #without telling anybody else. which is okay I guess but it's a *lot* of friends and they often bring alcohol.#which I guess would get on my shitlist in any case.#and they've set off the fire alarm while cooking twice now (both times while I was trying to sleep)#and now one of them broke one of the jars I use for overnight oats. and my frustration is just gradually building #edit: AND they play the tv/music so loud you can hear it through the walls. even in my suite with the door closed

love how hua cheng is just like "I support xie lian rights and xie lian wrongs, except he can never do anything wrong ever even when he kills a bunch of people. Go off king" and Xie Lian is like “This is my beautiful husband, he has committed war crimes, but haven’t we all?”

And their relationship is somehow healthier than anything I've ever been in.

#emma posts #to be fair everything involving me didn’t have me aware that it was a thing #but I couldn’t compete anyway #tcgf #is it dating someone if they never told you they were dates and you misinterpreted them?#not asking for a friend #this is just straight up every situation I’ve been in #that’s as close as I’ve ever actually gotten to dating someone #I’ve witnessed plenty of other people’s relationships though #‘we’ve been dating for six months’ ‘those were dates?!’ ‘you asked me out first’ ‘and you rejected me!’ <- closest to dating I’ve been #all the other times I didn’t even ask the person out first. the just flat out never said it was a date and I thought we were just chilling #and all the other times I’ve asked someone out they rejected me and then DIDN’T ask me out without telling me they were asking me out #how was I supposed to know he changed his mind?#I’m still not over how I didn’t know we were dating until after we broke up #just the sheer comedy of my love life gets to me #comedy of errors ass love life #I’m getting really side tracked #Xie Liana’s friends were totally reasonable to think that someone stalking someone for several centuries is alarming #but somehow those two had it happen in the healthiest way possible???#I respect it tbh #only healthy relationship I’ve ever had that much sheer dedication in is me and my favorite cat which is a very maternal relationship #and i didn’t even actually kill the people who threatened him. they weren’t real threats but they knew they did psychological damage #to this day I wish I bit them until I tasted blood #but being in detention with them would have meant being around them longer than I had to be 😑#they have probably changed a lot since then but I still never want to see them again in my life #that might actually have played a slight role in how feral I get about protecting my cat 🐈‍⬛#I’m getting into personal issues again #our co-dependent parental dynamic. me and my cat. is perfectly healthy and I will not change it #said by someone who is not healthy but definitely will not change this specific thing #and the co-dependency is in fract mutual. that’s why it’s CO dependent

humans really saw sexual dimorphism and said "hey that's really cool, let's expand on that" and made an artificial version of it (strictly enforced gender roles based on what kind of junk a person is born with) on top of the baseline dimorphism.
