it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

#writeblr #warm up #i can't write rn but i have SO much words in here bc im reading the chorus of dragons books #(just started book 4)#and this woman's writing is just LIVING in my brain. let me out!!!#(i read roughly like 2-4 books a week usually bc i go on long walks with my dog but when a book is REALLY good like. it eats my life. )#anyway ...... so like here's a story that idk i've tried to explain to other people as being wild #but maybe im the only one who thinks it is wild???#so i play pokemon go (i just started in jan) bc i love pokemon and as i have mentioned i walk goblin for like an hour in the morning #and i don't like a lot of fitness trackers due to the fact it makes me .sad. but i also wanted the little digital rewards. enter pokemon go #anyway so they make you make friends to complete quests. so i used a reddit thread. i do not usually use reddit. i don't have an acct #i lurked. i just googled like ''pokemon go reddit '' and randomly added a bunch of numbers #i was on that page for all of 15 minutes. there are THOUSANDS of responses on that page.#here's what's wild: in that group of people. even though i am not on reddit and it was one random event once #it turns out one of those people lives in the town i live in. or at least very close. i only know this because #when we send each other gifts. it's from the same freaking area.#i can't ask them to meet up bc pokemon go doesn't have a messaging app lol but like . what are the fucking chances that #a random person posts in a random reddit thread and HAPPENS to get added by someone ELSE from their SAME TOWN #who by pure fucking CHANCE is ALSO playing pokemon go and looking for friends #i googled it there's only 42000 people in my broad region. the .......... smallness ! of the world!!!

Lately, I’ve been hard at work building my own fakedex and feel bad having nothing to show for it. Here’s a 4-way split evolution family, each evo is based on a card suit and an insect order that have larvae! Visually inspired by particular families as well :]

So. After 5 years of waiting. I saw Hadestown live last night. And I am still going Insane from it

#i am so so so happy i did this. all the money and the stress was worth it. i was. oh my god. i can't describe #i know it by heart word for word but i felt like i've never seen it before. the cast slayed. the orchestra killed it.#honestly the british aspects just improved it for me i absolutely loved the regional accents #i cant stop thinking an talking about it. it was insane. it was INSANE.#not only was it as good as i'd hoped it was better. BETTER. DREAM COME TRUE #hadestown liveblog

steve poking fun at eddie whenever his southern upbringing sneaks its way out is my new favorite thing to think about. his accent, a little bit of a drawl, comes out after a few drinks or when he gets overly excited or when he's angry. better yet, eddie will say things that steve has just never heard of and finds it too entertaining having him repeat certain things.

"okay, okay, just humor me this one last time!" he'll say and eddie will roll his eyes but he'll play along because, damnit, he'll do anything to see his boy belly laugh. "you're going grocery shopping. it's a big shop and you know you can't carry it all so... what is it that you need to help?"

and steve will be all barely held back giggles, eyes crinkling into crescents before he's even begun to really laugh and he looks like a kid waiting to catch santa claus.

and eddie will sigh, laying it on thick by rolling his eyes once more for good measure and crossing his arms over his chest before muttering out, "... a buggy, steve. you need a gotdamn buggy."

seeing steve bend over to cackle is worth any sort of humiliation eddie thinks could ever come from showing his true colors and laughs along with him, his own smile wide and bright as he pushes into steve's space so he can press a kiss to his crinkled cheek.

#LISTEN I JUST LOVE SOUTHERN EDDIE OKAY #IMAGINE STEVE JUST STARING AT HIM CAUSE HE HAS NO CLUE WHAT EDDIE IS SAYING SOMETIMES #BECAUSE REGIONAL JARGON IS WEIRD #this all was brought on by my coworker who is from indiana not knowing what hunch punch was because she calls it jungle juice #steddie #steddie headcanon #steve harrington #eddie munson #stranger things #stranger things headcanon #i am an eddie munson is a southern boy who moved to hawkins truther fucking fight me #my writing #1k

I’m gonna try to say this without sounding weird… okay?

Another reason why I like Barbatos so much as an Archon is that he is the type of god I would want for me.

He’s so human-like that it’s easy to forget he’s a god. He actively interacts with humans regularly to understand their culture, and he encourages “rest” and “joy” in life through a strong drinking culture and “whimsical” lifestyle.

It really is about finding joy in an everyday life.

Not only that, but he actively participates in putting on events to further this motto, most recent case scenario: The Poetry Event!

It’s these small things that he partakes in that encourages his people to grow and learn new things/try new things while—most importantly—having fun (!) that portray a god that is FOR the people first and foremost. Remembering that even though it’s simple (ish. Poetry is hard, sometimes, to me LOL), it is something new and exciting and breaks that monotonous life cycle.

He’s also a god that doesn’t “hover”; he’s there if you really need him but, otherwise, you have to fight your own battles. You need to grow; you need to realize your own strength by not having him around all the time.

Sure, he pokes fun at himself in these instances, sleeps so often that he really isn’t there all the time, is a drinker, etc., that it’s almost hard to see him as a god at all. He is so human.

You’re only reminded he’s a god when you realize he’s had a whole life, and several lives, really, before this one.

So, perhaps the reason he’s so appealing as a god is because he doesn’t really act like one at all. He acts like a “good” and humble human.

I suppose those that you find similarities in are what attracts you, so maybe that plays a part in Venti’s appeal. (Aka his human similarities)

On the other hand, Zhongli is probably best in encompassing the picture of a god: strong, capable, ready to step in but also ready to test his people “if they’re worthy” of standing on their own.

Ei is… a god in the sense that she’s feared. Untouchable. Hard to see any likeness in her to a human, so, she is, indeed, separate from her people.

Nahida holds knowledge so unfathomable and intangible that she is otherworldly, but due to her age, she is hard to compare to an “otherworldly god” and more seems like “another power”/“oracle”/“great other being” to seek out advice but to never quite “worship”—or at least, that’s what the Archon quest felt like to me.

Focalors is… well, she is painted to be the one imitating a god—down to the dotted ‘i’ where she puts on a bravado with none of the power to back it up. By all means, she should be the feared god, the powerful and interesting one that has an iron hand and all-wisdom—as if she plays both Nahida and Zhongli at once—but her power is that of a Venti, an everyday man that speaks ostentatious language to intimidate but never follows up on his word—for now. She’s just getting started, after all.

(Note: haven’t played the continuance of the Archon Quest at this time)

I guess it depends on how you define a god, which is why these portrayals are all so unique. It would then also depend on each individual to pick which one is the most appealing god to you—a protector, one with wisdom, a feared god, one that is active and fascinating, or—the one that blends in with its people.

#this was inspired by someone saying ‘Venti is a god I’d worship’#and while I felt weird putting it that way #there is something so appealing about Mondstadt and its god (Venti bias here) that made me to love this region and archon the most #my type is the ‘gentle god’ archetype #also short men.#anyway #venti #zhongli #nahida #focalors #furina #it’ll take me a minute to switch over to her name #genshin impact #genshin archons #my rambles or something #truly these are just rambles #aka if I was iseki’d into genshin

One thing that will never not be funny about the Electric Callboy fandom on here is how much people are thirsting and gushing over these guys who, to me as a German, are very much Just Some Dudes. Like I cannot stress enough how Some Guys they are. I don't care how big they get, they will always have the vibes of a bunch of Deep West German dudes who drank too much beer with their homies and accidentally shenaniganed their way into fame. And don't get me wrong, I am here for it, but it's just so so so funny.

#the way they all have the same regional accent as my uncle and kevin has basically the same sense of humor too #i just. it's SO funny.#i love how these dumbass german dudes are your most specialest boys and i support you in your endeavors #electric callboy #talk corner

Btw I'm basically speedrunning now

#Rain world #game clips #I've gotten a lot better since I made this video but I still love it. This will be my tenth challenge and I've spent like 7 hours on it lol #I mean 7 hours of actual attempts before I realized I need to get better to stand a chance.#So I'm smacking my friends in the face with rocks while sliding or have to wait for everyone to catch up all the time #Because now I can't NOT use the cool movement tech I've learned. It's so fun and useful and ✨fast✨#It's actually saved our lives so many times. Nothing funnier than yelling ''BEND OVER'' to my buddy and absolutely booking it #Also since we've delved into the world of modded regions it's been extremely nice for the bs parkour people include for no reason 😭#If I'M struggling good god it must be tough for casual players #SPEAKING OF MODS! I've been hanging out and talking with modders and oh my god they're all crazy #One of my favs was the deserted wastelands dev who was just. So jaded. it was so funny #And we're playing thru Drought which is very interesting. It has like. Multiple endings and stuff #Finally know who that striped black cat is lmao #Gonna post some fanart in the future because I'm actually in love. Moon is such a mom in this campaign #It's also a horribly glitchy mess that destroys your game files but wwyd

trying to stay motivated by releasing these two bastards into the wild - Rikki and Ban's new ref sheets <3 minus their other outfits because I'm not done with them. but they're literally soulmates, the best and worst influences/thing to happen to each other, theyre married and divorced, they're found family, they're codependent and clingy, can't stand each other

they also met at a dumpster, somewhere in Nila District, and immediately began planning to scam the shit out NSR and get Rikki out of the archipelago <3

#no straight roads #nsr #nsr oc #nsr rikki #nsr ban #purinsu art #love wins guys. rikki and ban keep getting glow ups #anyway. yes the ship of theseus is somewhere around here with ban #the reason its named beachside archipelago. is so i can make a B-Side pun #theres encore edition. and then theres the b-side edition <3 #the colors for the map are just so i know who's the charter bc i need VISUALS #i wanna be like hey guys feel free to ask me anything. but. my askbox is known to EAT EVERYTHING AND SHOW ME NOTHING........#anyway there was a reason for this region to be named that. but its lost to history and now no one knows other than 'hey this sounds fun'#also yes its the philippines. but make it vaguely sampaguita shaped
