un intrus! ce dramă (would have been less dramă if my dog was not trying to eat the poor thing)

(god my phone camera is amazing)

99% sure she is a superb fairy wren, maybe a juvenile because she was pretty tiny even by wren standards, but her tail was adult length so who knows. I have no visual memory so I wanted to take a picture or two for identification, and she was pretty quiet once I had grabbed her, so hopefully I didn't cause too much distress (a bit of mild distress is acceptable if it stops her getting eaten by an overenthusiastic kelpie. I never feed him, just ask and he'll tell you)

Anyway she is probably the same one who visited yesterday, and again she was all over cobwebs and had a dark spot on her head from headbutting the ceiling repeatedly (didn't work today either, silly bird). I couldn't do much about the head but I cleaned her up as best I could and sent her on her way. Probably I will see her tomorrow night.

#i was going to say #just peasant things #but everyone gets birds in their house occasionally don't they?#birb #wonder what this is an omen of #probably more birbs

just kill me

#this whole article is bad but this was the WORST #not even for the reason you think (819 reasons)#Eliza you've already heard this rant but #if I can be way too sincere and long-winded for a moment #'always if I ask him something he helps'#how many quotes do we have from teammates over the years saying that exact thing #michael latta saying 'it doesn't matter if you're a top pair dman or a 4th line peasant; he'll do anything to help you'#christian djoos saying 'he's always there for you no matter what time or place. if something's up he's always there'#HHA saying recently nicke gave him his number and told him 'if you need anything just call me and I can help you'#carly in that interview when this was announced saying how nicke has been the support for everyone in that locker room from himself and osh #to guys who haven't been there long like strome and even pacioretty #I know holts and batya and andre and rasmus and jojo and tj and tom and karl alzner have all said stuff like this too #and that's just who I can think of off the top of my head #like. that's it. that's nicke.#if you ask him something. he helps.#for such an amazing athlete. for such a crucial part of making hockey A Thing in DC.#what his teammates want to talk about is his kindness #and that speaks so highly of him and is so genuinely admirable to me and worth aspiring to #I don't want to put anyone on a pedestal because we don't know these guys #but like. in terms of impact. nicke really genuinely made me try to be a better more thoughtful more actively outreaching friend #because I saw the way his teammates talked about him and that's how I want to be thought of.#I want people to know I'll be there for them. & not that I haven't been willing to do that but I've been more active about offering it #and part of that genuinely is because of his example #there's a million other things about his kindness I could mention before I even get to his hockey but this has already gone on far too long #so anyway #he is so dear to me #I hope he is happy and healthy #and that he knows how loved he is #nicklas backstrom #hockey

wonder if saiko ever learned how to drive a bike after he spent billions getting all sorts of stuff just to impress the gang. like he has them already he might as well, and it would make aren crazy jealous so thats a bonus. actually gets his license too, just to rub it in his face.

#because while he knows how to drive a car i dont believe he actually has a license bc he would just drive on private property #why would he bother driving himself if he has to share the road w peasants. thats a chauffeurs job #same thing w motorcycles but it would be funny if he specifically got a license for it because aren didnt.

Still can't get over how Reanimator feels like a movie specificaly made for me. Like, everything i like in any story crammed into one thing that lowkey changed my brain chemistry. Simple but well realised and confident story? ✓ Interesting characters with fantastic dynamic? ✓ Very memorable perfomences from the cast? ✓ 80s horror practical effects? ✓ Catchy af soundtrack? ✓ Fun direction? ✓ Gay stuff? ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓ Crazy how these mfs knew what i like 20 years before i was even born, wild.

My sister mentioned at the dinner that one of her former classmate who moved to the US (we’re all hungarians) just had her prom.

And it suddenly hit me that America is like, a real place. A real place with real people living in it, doing things like prom and going to the University of Georgia.

Like it’s not something made up for the movies and for the social media.

Wild.

#funny thing is i’ve been to other countries before #i lived in germany for a week #i know a girl who lived in japan for a year #but america is just so away from here #and its so strange sometimes it doesnt feel real #don’t mind me #the eastern european peasant has spoken #prom def doesn’t feel like a real thing tho #living in europe #culture

King: They choose to have magic

Peasant: There’s no way that’s true

Knight: Excuse me? Are you talking back to the king?

Peasant: I’m just saying the truth

Peasant: You’re all out here, trying to claim that people choose to have magic and they should be killed for it, well I say they’re born with it!

Knight: And what’s your reasoning for that preposterous statement?

Peasant: Because I just walked up fifty fucking flights of stairs, and these are cobblestone stairs! Do you have any idea how many times I almost broke an ankle from how shitty those stairs are?

Peasant: And you think I chose to walk up those stairs? No! If I could choooose to have magic, the law be damned I would have magicked myself up here!

Knight: How dare you try and talk back to the king, I’m sure that-

Peasant: Do it, then.

Knight: …What?

Peasant: Do magic.

Knight: I-

Peasant: C’mon! If we can all choose to do magic, then choose to do it now! Any one of you, king, knight, anyone! Do it!

Knight:

King:

Peasant: Yeah, I don’t think any of you can. I think this whole thing is a lie. I think there’s some people born with magic, and you’re all hunting down innocent people just to fuel the king’s bloodlust. And once all the magicians are gone, who’s next? Which of us will he target then?

Knight:

Knight: Sire…why can’t I do magic?

King:

Peasant: Because he’s a liar! And I’ll keep thinking that unless someone can teach me a damn spell for those stairs! >:(

#no fandom #definitely Merlin inspired cause of Uther’s whole thing #but main point of this #is to laugh at the thought of a peasant who just *really fucking hates stairs*#accidentally kicking off a revolution #made up dialogue by yours truly

tfw you think you'll have an early night but you have to spend half an hour chasing a baby fairy wren around your house so you can remove the cobwebs from its tiny feet and put it safely outside

save do you have any tips for managing migraines

uhhhhhh lessee

personally i have prescriptions for it cause mine screwed my brain up but obvious ones like proper rest + maybe log what you eat and see if theres any correlation + general put nutrients in your body stuff which is actually kind of hard to keep track of

i have some REALLY WEIRD scent based triggers so i have to stay away from ammonia-like scents and eucalyptus cause those will put my ass out flat IMMEDIATELY, thats not an everyone thing but maybe note if theres sensory stuff around you that might be a trigger

for me warm toned lights and screen tints are way better than cool tones/white light and if youve got light colored eyes wear amber tinted sunglasses outdoors

water + salty snack > pedialite > gatorade and depending on caffeine sensitivity maybe moderate that cause it can either help or hurt, kinda depends on the person, but water and saltines will get you electrolytes and its cheap as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck even if it doesnt taste as great as gatorade

sunlight on your skin and not in your eyeballs

also vitamin d just in general helps but its way better to actually use the sun for that than trying to digest it so like just 10ish minutes in the sun is what my neurologist recommended on top of taking 2000mg tablets

thats what ive got off the top of my head

#im not a neurologist but i dont get them as bad anymore at least #also if learning what you feel like beforehand so you can nip it before it starts helps a LOT #if you can take a painkiller before it starts itll do way more for you #but also dont undertreat it like dont stick it out thats what fucked me up hardcore just take the painkiller #i have to take at least 800mg of ibuprofen if i even sniff a migraine coming on but check with a doc before you do that #i also gotta pair it with sumatriptan and i can only do that 3 times a month Or Else #if ibuprofen doesnt knock it outta me its an er trip and they stuff an iv in me and pump my ass so full of drugs #oh also too much water can also cause migraines #best to stick with the 8 8oz a day thing and not go too far over #but yeah being proactive and preventative is better than coasting and treating them when they come #sometimes ill sip a little pickle juice causenits got magnesium and potassium on top of the sodium for electrolytes #i know food logs arent GREAT but they can help with stuff like this even just kinda checking in on if youre getting everything you need #i go sorta peasant with it like as long as ive had a couple greens in a week i should be good to go #snap peas or artichoke hearts or other really solid veggables #or #god bless #The Cucumber #cucumbers are the powerhouse of the vegatable

So I’ve been trying to just let myself PLAY with my art more, just have fun, while also making things I could sell just as little originals without the pressure of getting prints and other products made and making them part of my line.

That’s my explanation for why I’m on a so-far-weeklong kick of drawing quick, simple ink sketches from photos of friends’ cats, with their permission (the friends, not the cats). They’re so ridiculous, I thought maybe they’d be worth sharing here. This is the first.

#cats #cat art #funny cats #cat meme #peasants #black cat #my art #ink art #comic artist #independent artist #sometimes you just gotta quit making serious things for a few weeks and draw some sassy cats

our esteemed president is convinced that in medieval times people didn't bathe regularly. he uses this excuses during reenactments, to stay dirty, convince us to sleep in the same clothes that we sweat all day and use them the next day too and shut down any request of finding accommodation for us to shower after we close up camp.

I know, shameful for the president and founder of a medieval reenactment company.

unfortunately for him, we're no as uneducated as we used to be when we first joined, so we know better now (medieval times were the times when personal hygiene came back in vogue after the fall of the Roman Empire and the first wave of "our bodies sinful and taking care of them is reproachable" - courtesy of the first Church). as for many things, we have to thanks the Arabs for this, but it's another long parenthesis.

truth is, especially in the period we're reenacting, everyone loved a good daily scrub after work and a full bath every few days. and soap existed (thanks the Arabs, again).

now, to the fun part. till now we always camped in mountain valleys without water bodies nearby, but we might have the chance to start doing them regurarly in a valley where I usually go in Summer to bathe in the river (I honestly prefer rivers to seas and lakes).

which it means that I'm already plotting to force people into the river to bathe themselves after we close up camp. with soap (do you know that Marsille's soap is very very old? and we live next to France and we always had a close tie with them - still had it till we kicked out our useless royal after WWII).

so, no more excuses. our president will have the chance to prove how much of a macho he is by bathing in the frigging river. I will dare him.

#and we are all TIRED of staying in the same clothes the second day #but this is again the president and his wife fault #they should be the marquises but they dress like the last of the peasant #which forces us to dress very modestly but we want more different and better clothes not just simple work clothes #every one had nice clothes because the nobles used to gift to the people the ones they already used for 3-4 years #and many knew how to embroider so free time clothes were colorful and very decorated #medieval times were 1000 years of innovation and colors and many things #they're called the dark ages because before 1200 the chronicles are very scarce #it's dark because we have not much light on all the events #not because they were constantly sad and hurtful

10 Facts about me

Thanks for the tag @midnightprelude =)

I currently have ~44 houseplants. My favorite changes by the week, but my christmas cactus, pink panther, and philo brasil are often up there. Oh and my tineke. And begonia. And birkin. Oh and my piper crocatum. Actually I love all of them except for my aloe and the jade plant that is intent on dying. If anyone in Chicago wants an aloe, it's yours.

In high school, I won second place with my bestie in a lip sync competition at the Valentine's Day dance (which was called Cupid Night Out, which was a riff on Stupid Night Out, the autumn dance, and needless to say it was less a formal and more a ridiculous costume party).

Bestie and I reprised the award-almost-winning performance at her wedding reception.

When I lived in China, my (awful) boss once called me drunk at 10pm to demand I take a taxi into town to the karaoke he was at and sing "Tian mi mi" for his Communist Party friends. I pretended my phone cut out and went to sleep.

That same boss did successfully bully me into pretending to be a member of the American Kung Fu team so that the local kung fu competition would count as "international." I had to wear athletic clothing and march in a parade similar to what you see in the opening ceremonies in the Olympics, complete with a young girl in a fancy dress holding up a sign proclaiming us the American Kung Fu team. We were on tv. No, I do not know how to do a single move of kung fu, and neither did anyone else on the "team."

Around five years ago, I stopped using an alarm clock to wake up and learned I naturally have "the sleep schedule of a medieval peasant," aka I tend to wake up with the dawn and rarely stay up past 10.

During my first trip to China (mainland) in 2008, while a friend was taking me to his favorite restaurant near his college, I fell into a manhole. The manhole had a cover, but it flipped up when I stepped on it. Only one foot fell in, and the cover hit me in the chest so hard it's possible I cracked a rib. I could not get out of bed the next day. Dinner was good, though, once my friend pulled me out. Honestly I was just thankful my sandal didn't fall off.

The first time I ate a deviled egg was in high school during the regional tennis matches. A local elderly woman would come every year with a picnic for our entire team. As far as I know, she never came to a single other event at our school (maybe the boys' regionals?). When we made it to state, she sent another picnic with us. I wish I remembered her name.

I got my driver's license the day before I was starting a job I had to drive to. There was a bug in the car, and the tester, after warning me she wasn't going to say anything to me other than directions, whacked me repeatedly with her clipboard when the bug landed on me, and then spent the rest of the test talking about how insane it was that there was a bug in the car. I passed.

I was taught badminton from my college's football coach and he told me I was his favorite student because I never stopped smiling. And that is because badminton is the funnest sport I've ever played.

tagging @queso-magnifico @ninepoints @juliafied @redmapleleavesonwhitesnow @vimlos

#serious about the aloe I just don't want it anymore #I was so bitterly mad about the kung fu thing ahahah #we looked so stupid #like yes we had exercise clothes but we didn't have a uniform #so we just looked kind of like slobs?#like idk I don't exercise in cute outfits #it's old tshirts #shout to jo for the comment about my sleep schedule #thank you fili mou but if I were a medieval peasant I would certainly be dead
