I never make my bed, bc it's pointless when you have to unmake it to get in it to sleep. I wanted to see if other adults do this to. so on an average day, do y'all make your bed

here's a tip about working with Dionysos that nobody asked for

invoke him using epithets, and be specific

like maybe don't call on Zagreus the Hunter to bless your grapevine - consider Korymbophoros the Cluster-Laden

I generally wouldn't call on Chthonios of the Underworld to bless your theatrical production - Dithyrambos the Hymned is a more appropriate option

Meilichios the Gentle might not be the best aspect to call on before attending a protest with heavy police presence - for that, consider Lyseus the Liberator

does this make sense? call on him using epithets! always always use epithets if you can manage it, be specific about what aspect you want to talk to - he is Polynomos and Polymorphos, Many-Named and Multiply-Born for a reason

there are exceptions, obviously, where you could get really specific about why for example Chthonios IS the best aspect to bless your musical (maybe you're doing Hadestown?) but put some thought into it

try and match the epithets to what it is you're trying to accomplish or honor, rather than choosing them at random or based on how they sound sonically or how badass they seem

that's it, that's the tip

easy, simple, effective

have fun

i laugh about it but also!!! the moment in eeaao where alpha wong tells evelyn that she's living her worst life is just!!! IT'S JUST SO!!! HMM!!! makes me think. because like. that's the thing right. their life is actually kind of shitty yk? her business is not a success, they're literally buried under the pile of their failed ambitions. everything very objectively sucks!!! and it's like that's. someone's worst fear. i know it's mine. that you'll blink and it'll be 25 years years and you're barely holding it together. career, husband, kid — every. thing is a mess..and you're just. making it all worse against your own better judgement because you're so overwhelmed with a kind of grief and loneliness and sorrow and goddddd like. like. that's terrifying. the prospect of that life is so terrifying. and EEAAO looked at this woman and it said. yeah. you know what. it sucks. you actually did fail spectacularly at everything. but you're here. and you can decide to embrace this reality. and put googly eyes on your laundry bags and hug your daughter anyway. because life is unpredictable, and you did what you could, but the point of it all is to steal what little love and joy you can from it. and it's just. okay. I'm emotional about that i am..

i’m trying to crochet a book sleeve and baby you’d think it’d be easy

I realize a lot of the fandom doesn’t really want to think about this, but it’s very important to remember that at all times, all times, Hanako never once, not for one instant, forgets that he is dead. That he is not just the ‘weird classmate with cool powers’ or some kind of neat secret friend, the way Nene and Kou often treat him as. He. Is. Dead. He went through the experience of dying. He has long been aware of what being a ghost means - that he will never change again, while all around him students will laugh and learn and grow up and grow away and classes will change and uniforms will change and technology will change and music will change and he will never change again. He will never grow up. He will never be married, he will never have kids, he will never even graudate from that school. He’s watched entire classes of students enter the middle school door and walk out the high school door, the whole process. He’s seen that several times - kids younger than Kou, becoming kids older than Teru and just...disappearing out into the world, while he stays exactly the same.

A big part of understanding Hanako is understanding that he never forgets this. Ever. Nene can forget it, Kou can forget it...Hanako never forgets it. He tries to remind them of this fact - most recently in the last chapter we saw him in - but he’s also seen this happen enough that he knows that Kou and Nene can’t really understand what it means. 

But Hanako does. When he’s acted to protect them, or even when he’s acted to cage them, there’s a kind of temporal panic behind that. They will grow up. They will, like every generation before them, eventually grow beyond him. They will change. I think it’s what keeps him from being attached to Kou, and it’s also what sends him into a panic with Nene. Because he can’t grow with her, and he knows it, but he would give anything to give her something that she can take with her into the world of him. And while he knows her fate is to die soon - that she is in effect fated to be just like him, never to grow up, never to change - you can see how much he hates it in just how hard he fights for that not to be her fate.

just saw a comment on an instagram post of a paparazzi photo of taylor swift and her new bf saying "we're already getting better content from him than joe gave us ever" and i just??? theyre real people?? its a paparazzi photo?? theyre not "giving you content" they are simply just existing???

Ive finally gotten really into reading again

And now that my mind is always partly in a different world, with my characters, i cannot imagine it without

How could i bear my own world if i couldnt escape for a bit

“You know, Tim... Sometimes I get the thought that we’re getting too old for stuff like this.”

Jiminy and Timothy having a heart-to-heart conversation about... important matters, let’s say.

Placing the burden of accountability on the people you hurt is not accountability.

Should I be surprised that my mom forgot I was lactose intolerant and bought me Reese’s?

yeah so, I took the cane for a walk around the block

and my knees didn't hurt either way on the hill

and then I came back and did a pain check (the actual pain scale makes no sense to me, so I made my own based on my behaviors, like the fact that I'll dance in excruciating pain)

my pain is at a 1

I literally cannot remember the last time my pain has been so low, it's usually around 4-5 on a daily basis, i don't think it's gone below 3...anytime recently?

Like maybe not since high school?

It's so weird

and it's so weird to be experiencing this and realizing I was in pain and, up until a few months ago, I'd always go "but I'm not physically disabled, this is all mental stuff"

like, wow, I just did not realize...and it's also incredible to just...feel ok?

I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

Peace and love

having such an obvious favorite character trope is life ruining bro

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.
