If you’re sick or injured and healing or growing a new life inside you or just worn out, please notice that that thing known as ‘doing nothing’ is when you’re doing the utterly crucial and precious work of growing and healing and restoring, and this also goes for everyone who’s just worn down, exhausted, dispirited, and who’s not that right now? I’m not the Nap Ministry but I’m for the power of rest and the holiness of respite and the you that is your cells and circulatory system and all those inner workings that are so mysterious and necessary and regenerative if we let them be. The psyche too does most of its work out of sight, and the imagination, and so creative work too benefits from rest and respite.

Take refuge in that beautiful stillness in which everything is happening in all the ways that nothing is happening in busyness. Everything happening in the depths, like deep water under a reflective surface. A pond reflecting clouds with schools of fish doing their things in the depths. Sitting still as zazen or just daydreaming or watching clouds is an act of outright revolt against the shouts that we should be doing something/do more/do more faster that are all around us. This might be another face of peace in our times with stillness the ceasefire in which spring comes again.

London, near Battersea, almost-evening ...

At least the traffic isn't too bad - most of rush hour has petered out, settling into the lull between that and anyone going out for the evening. Or rather, anyone else. Thera weaves her way through the streets, glancing occasionally at the GPS leading her toward Steven's flat. The street lamps aren't on just yet, though with the sun setting that won't be far away, and only the over-cautious few have their headlights up, just in case.

She waits for the bus ahead of her to move off again, wondering absently if it's the bus he would have caught home if he'd been at work today, then turns down the side street, looking for somewhere to park.

Thankfully the little silver Mini is just made for this, and she pulls in not far from the building's front door, taking out her phone to text; 'Hey, I'm downstairs. Should I wait, or come on up?'

I was reminded recently of how much I loved the Moon Knight SG Poster series and so I thought I’d take a crack at the style and make some posters for my own MK fanfic series, Eternal Sunshine of the Absent Mind. Consider these the official posters of my very official fic series ;). 

[Image ID:  First Image: A silhouette-style monochrome minimalistic style poster inspired by Pokimoko's Moon Knight fanfic 'The Absence Of Fear', the first fic in the ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Absent Mind’ series. The poster depicts a black background with white at the bottom; at the centre nearing the top there is a circle which has been made to represent a simple shield; the shield is cracked in the top right corner, and at its centre are two silhouettes, one of Steven who is facing us and is dark grey, and one of Marc, who is facing away but looking back over his shoulder, and is a lighter grey. Steven has a black line over his eyes, and there are more black lines across the shield, imitating black out poetry. Above the shield are stars and constellations (Cassiopeia, Pegasus, Ursa Minor, Pisces and Cygnus). Under the shield is a white pigeon to the left and a pile of books to the right. At the bottom of the poster, the title of the fic is written.  Second Image: A silhouette-style monochrome minimalistic style poster inspired by Pokimoko's Moon Knight fanfic 'In the Absent Place' , the second fic in the ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Absent Mind’ series . The poster depicts a black background with white at the bottom; at the centre there is a white house that merges with the white at the bottom of the poster. Inside the house sits the black silhouette Steven at his computer, the light of which beams out behind him and lights up the edges of Jake's white silhouette which merges into the house. He is reaching out to Steven, and behind him Khonshu—who is a black silhouette and merges with the black background—has a hand on Jake's shoulder, with the tendrils of his costumes also reaching out to Steven. Above all of them is the dial and display of a old time radio. Above the house is a grey circle that has rain cometing through it. The roof of the house is shaped like a pyramid, and there is a sword going into it, which has a handle that is in the shape of Khonshu's ushabti. Around the circle is a scattering of Scrabble letter which spell out 'DON'T GO INTO THE BASEMENT STEVEN'. At the bottom of the poster, the title of the fic is written.  Third image:  A silhouette-style monochrome minimalistic style poster inspired by Pokimoko's Moon Knight fanfic 'In Your Absence', the third fic in the ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Absent Mind’ series. The poster depicts a black background with white at the bottom; at the centre of the poster there is a white round fishbowl that merges with the white at the bottom of the poster. Inside the fishbowl is a layer of sand, upon which is a black sarcophagus; a poppy grows out from its stomach. Standing to the right of the sarcophagus is Steven, who is looking over to the distant silhouette of the house, which is the same shape as the one shown in the Absent Place poster. Inside the house are four doors at different heights, one of which is open. Above the fishbowl are two white goldfish swimming through a scattering of forget-me-not flowers. Below the poster is a black goldfish swimming in the opposite direction of the other fish and who is followed by a trail of black shards. At the bottom of the poster, the title of the fic is written. Note: The white at the bottom of all these images flow together to create a seamless flow between the posters. /. End ID]

Happy Mother’s Day!

finished ssgn and my thoughts are very incoherent so have some memes instead

modern xayah ( without rakan ) will have sex with those she takes interest of some sort in just for the funsies. this can include hate sex or simply "we're both hot, it could be fun" sex. but she will threaten you not to say a word to anyone or do anything in public or she will do anything between cut off your fingers, your dick ( if you have one ), or your head... depending on the situation. ...regular and sg xayah would rather just. murder to begin with.

literally made a new ig account to post my "set up" bcs i'm too nervous to post it in my main account, and andrew saw my story, and all i could say was "nice!" bcs none of my irl friends know him or garrett :(

Possible redesigns of the guards!

Since they haven't done much in the past hundred years, im guessing they're pretty dusty in the creaks, poor Y/n has to deal with two large cats who see y/n as a toy

trying to find the tweet that has a collated list of memorials for bin so i can share it here but i can’t find it again :/ i’d encourage rohas who can to go leave a note or flowers for bin if they want to!

i love how in all the astrological talks i had with everyone.... we all came to a conclusion that wonwoo is the devil

Steven leaned close to Thera to kiss her and he blushed at her when he realized that he missed her lips. He blushed and he pulled away from her. "I-I'm sorry. I...tried to kiss you, but I missed...can I try again?"

In movies there were sometimes moments, cliched little scenes where one person turned their head at just the right moment for a kiss aimed at their cheek to catch them on the lips instead. Sweet set pieces where something not meant to happen, did.

But wasn't it just typical that out there in the real world, when one of those moments happened, Thera turned her head the wrong way? Steven leaned in, she thought he was going to say something, and tilted her ear to listen - but then his lips touched her jaw and startled the heck out of them both. She blinked, looking at his and watching the blush creep up his face, "No, my fault, I moved ... and ... yes?"
