Share My Gum

I cry

Like you cum

Spilling down our knuckles

Licked from both our thumbs

And the rivulets’ reflexive

Desire to meld together

Has me wondering less

How you could smell

The spearmint

Across the phone

And more

Why we cannot

Share the suffering

Like we shared

The joy

Hopping on the color temperature discourse train to say that I love the mental image of like— reversing the association of red and blue and having blue represent summer temps— thinking of summer blue skies and the ocean. Red for winter temps bringing to mind cheeks red with cold and holly berries and cardinal feathers. Idk I just think that’s neat!

i, too, think it's neat!!! I also just like the idea of-- specifically on the topic planning of Temperature Blanket™ palettes-- not being so literal with "cold" colors and "hot" colors. if you CAN get creative with it, I think it's boring NOT to. It's a year long project, so it needs to be interesting. as an aside, I also like the idea of leaving color palettes behind entirely, and doing a very straightforward gradient scheme as your temperature gauge. Like buying yarns like this that are already dyed into a gradient, and just being like "ok. done."

just pick which end of the spectrum is High temps and which one is Low temps, and get cracking. It doesn't have to be symbolic of the Season the temperatures would occur in at all.

#I pivoted back to the og topic which was crochet lol because I'm. still. just thinking in terms of temperature blankets #but in a broad sense I still don't particularly enjoy red=hot blue=cold #I would like to do a gradient type theme next year I think #SOME BITCH #I lost the ask. SOME FUCK sent me a recommendation for 'a hundred ravens' yarn. and I'm SICK. because that pic is from them #and I'm pissed that I saw this After already supplying myself with the yarn I need + being Set on my plan.#because I think these dye jobs are so beautiful and would be so stunning as a temperature project.#sick and twisted.#sergle answers #crochetposting

he's so important to me

#i guess i need to watch the anime but super's manga has just been a self-indulgent fever dream for me from start to finish #100000/10 absolutely perfect so validating so extremely catered to my tastes and headcanons and analyses and humor #so fucking funny and emotional and intense and goofy and beautifully drawn #my beautiful son getting to finally fucking see his HARD won character growth fucking shine and choose love and choose to be loved!!!!!!#Goku just being Goku Vegeta being Team Dad Piccolo being Team Grandpa Bulma being a fucking superstar keeping everybody organized and fed #god i love this squad i love this series i love these dumbasses and their struggles and their triumphs and their stupid childish bonding #I love that Toriyama just spent the last several years reminding the class that DB as a whole has always been an ACTION-COMEDY about LOVE #and I'm SO sad that the z anime really never did it justice in that sense because of having to fill time with dramatic tension but god. GOD #THE MANGA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO CLEAR ON THAT THESIS.#Just all about Restorative Justice and Community and CARING even when you wish SO MUCH that you didn't care but yoU DO GODDAMMIT!!!#SUCH a great series I'm so sad it took losing mr t for me to finally read it but my god I needed to read it now and I'm so glad he wrote it #and i'm SO glad he wrote it Exactly Like This #once again rip to a legend i'm caught up and crying it's so perfect it's SO everything I've wanted to see onscreen and embedded in canon #and canon isn't everything but it still feels gREAT to be SO 1:1 on the same page with an author re: how you interpret your blorbo yknow???#been rotating this man in my head for 25 years and Mr Toriyama just mWAH kissed me on the forehead about it #anyway enough tag rambles I'm off again aklsjla #bonus for that kenpachi shit and letting him say 'sorry dude I can't be cold and numb anymore but this is still cathartic as fuck lol' like #mr t i hope you see the HIGHEST tier of heaven for that (and obviously for like everything all of it the whole life you led)

Radek said fuck in show?

Yup. It's in Czech 🇨🇿 but imo it counts.

"Do prdele" it's an equivalent for "Shit" or "Fuck." He says it to John in the submersible jumper (Grace Under Pressure) and to Evan on the Daedalus. (No Man's Land.)

He says "Já se už na to můžu vysrat," to Rodney when he's in the chair being a dick. Basically he's saying "Fuck it" or "Fuck this." e.g. Rodney is being an ass so fuck this. (Tao of Rodney.)

I think that's all of them. Hopefully my Czech is still on point for these translations @all-mighty-yaoiyuri is the Czech who checks my Czech.

It's been awhile though! 💛💚

Spoilers ahead, y'all!

Whilst I did make a post about timelines and possible magic and extension of life, somehow, the simple explanation escaped me completely. Especially as someone who lives in Norway, where Winter is half of the year.

When were Lila and Jaysohn born, if they knew their dad half their life? Early Winter. Geoffrey probably died sometime right before Spring, where the snow is still thick and the air still freezing. Let's say, if the plot of the story takes place in September-October, Geoffrey died in March-April, with the kids born around December-January. It would, actually, explain everything. We know, from Viola, that these stoats don't follow normal stoat mating patterns; Viola is having her kids in Autumn. Therefore, who's to say Tula couldn't have Lila and Jaysohn in Winter? They're sapient creatures, who can think and plan. We also get the small glimpse that Tula knows that they may have some control over when they get pregnant, but not always. Who's to say it didn't happen to her, too? What if, that Winter was where Tula gained so much, and nearly lost everything in one moment.

Although, I still believe Ava is overestimating her own age just so she can get away with more things.

#text_loke #meta from loke #Burrow's End #Burrow's End Spoilers #Burrows End #Burrows End Spoilers #Dimension 20 #Dimension 20 Spoilers #i still like my earlier theory. but this one fits more nicely. and i like it more #as someone who experienced the Cold in September-October and how their joints became painful. yeah #we can even have winter 'til May. which is why Northern bunads are thick and warm #it be SNOW in May sometimes #i'm just confused how people can be confused tbh. i was so focused on Normal Stoats to focus on the in-story stoats #they're magic and sapient. why can't they just...be pregnant any time of the year?#also means Thorn met Viola in spring. which feels poetic #ava is a troll and making herself older on purpose #aabria's mind is bloody wonderful. this story crafted is beautiful #and whatever explaination is true i am just happy to experience it all #i love this world so much

Jack Marsh (2005), Friendship Otherwise - Toward a Levinasian Description of Personal Friendship

#saw carnation lily lily rose by john singer seargent irl today. it was basically at my doorstep all along idk why i never went to see it #it was placed at a corner in the gallery. me and my friend sat down and sketched the paintings of beautiful naked people quite badly. paper #provided by tate britain. she told me about how she couldnt look her boyfriend in the face after a harrowing film about war. when i say the #interview was informal i mean the person who was supposed to be my boss told me let me get you a cider and then he said after #50 years of life he knows people are inherently good and it only takes a little bit of kindness to save this world. he said he tricked #his wife into keeping the baby and then he said he quit his job at a US bank to help people find meaning and in it #he would have liked to find meaning. instead he started climbing with his friends. he said he chews his cigarettes because its a habit from #when he had to hide things from people. the entire time i felt uncomfortable and incredibly enlightened. this is my friends mentor. she has #his pattern of pauses and expletive and penchant for ends-justify-means attitude. i do think im not very clever #but maybe one day i will love you enough to make up for it. i wrote code i dont understand staring at the final error i thought about how #we both thought of how when we're too old to remember the voices of our friends we would like to stand in the pathway of the LHC beam pipe #cut it open and eat light in the freezing cold vacuum (kills you long before radiation will) the invisible puncture wound unfolding dna #back to the start larger than you ever were. you go to heaven once youve been to hell. my friend is in my bed #practicing calculations of eigenvectors by hand and she is uninterested in a visual proof you are uninterested in incompetence #we catch a train this is your kind of burden you tragic hero wincing at that word you only do this because you have to. im the only one #who can. i am a coward in this for the fucking poetry. the visual proofs. the pretty numbers. an architect who was horrible at maths wanted #to be a philosopher and accidentally ended up neck in deep in 70th Error On Visual Studio Code i want to kiss your eyes before we say #goodbye we both know there is no love in the way there should be. I still have your dress in my wardrobe. i hope you make art.#you think im alright head-wise i think you fucking hate me i think ill never be so clever you want me to tell you my idea?#if you wanted more of this world i would have liked to kiss you harder. we cant both be like this. im sorry i cant be with you the whole wa #the love is gone if you have to ask it. his breath catches his eyes feel stiff it is -1.9 kelvin he is near the beam pipe i miss holding #his hand i miss her singing voice i miss his hair and i found the antonym of pain thank you for carrying me home.

Bonds

Three years later.

Still feel it…

Even before I nod

To the date on the calendar

As though we ran into one another getting the mail or going for a jog a few pitiful, pivotal times

A year.

I am still waiting for the sea monkeys

I ordered from the back of a comic

That was many years expired.

I am waiting for the power to go out

So the freezer thaws

And I have a reason to throw out the cookie I frosted while cooing your name.

I am waiting for the day this day doesn’t count.

The pink band of boxers you once wore;

Brands I should never know about, this side of the world.

I am ready to be hit by the bus when I chase the leaf I thought was inconsiderate litter into traffic.

How dare someone

Just throw

Something so beautiful

To the floor?

LWJ seeming like such a detached, cold and distant person at first, and then all the ways we slowly learn how he is actually very kind, very caring, and his heart is incredibly sensitive and soft, is the reason why he has everyone on a chokehold

#i've seen some people say that when they first read the novel they didn't rly care for lwj #cause he just seems so detached #which is why MDZS thrives on a second reading #vut also like... i can't imagine reading the lotus seed pod extra #(you know the one)#and still think he's cold and detached #when he had one of the most beautiful love languages i've seen in fiction for a while #he's someone who loves SOOO strongly. do devotedly. and so quietly too #it never changes. it's just that WWX starts noticing it. even early on #with how LWJ will order a lot of spicy food just for him #and not say a word about it #and then WWX immediately gets heartache cause he realizes 14 years ago LWJ did the same thing #WAHHHHH #LAN WANGJI!!! MAN OF ALL TIMES!!!!!#modao #lace speaks

North Table Mountain, Oroville, CA 04/13/2024

#somewhere that's green #chatter #this place is insane. by most accounts this is a deeply mid year for wildflowers here and it was dumping rain all day and cold as hell #and still the sheer variety of flowers just blew my mind. 100/10 amazing flower viewing experience #also sorry if the ids are not accurate! please correct me if you have a better id for any of these #the plantain the woodland star and the monkeyflower are the ones i'm most concerned about tbh #although i have a photo of Some Kinda Allium TM on my phone that i've been frantically trying to id for the past like. hour #i am not a wildflower expert i am merely enthusiastic about the natural riches of the vast and beautiful state of california.

“omg ruehob is shrek now” no you fools. it’s still beauty and the beast. we just didn’t realize that captain hob was belle.

#a court of fey and flowers #dimension 20 #ruehob #OKAY LISTEN #hob is the consistent one. he’s never more than he claims to be. sure he’s in service of his court #but belle was also just trying to take care of her dad at first too #rue is the one that’s been changed by their environment. the court of wonder altered their natural form #maybe not literally but the pressure to conform yk #it’s still beauty and the beast and you can take that from my cold dead hands

#there's something really beautiful about experiencing the weather patterns of a new place #where i live now. its not like where i grew up. not like the foothills of Appalachia but its more familiar than the Chihuahuan desert was #when i go home to ohio everythings so green. so green. unimaginably green and the towns are in the woods. the hills roll #and trees billow deciduous and packed so tightly the treeline is like a wall of plant matter. here there are trees but they are tall and #evergreen. patchy in places like shrubs in the desert. the grass grows green but also pale tan and dead. houses are routed in valleys #between mountains. they're made of wood and not stucco but they still look strange and the landscape is crumpled together tall. and there's #water. it rains. days can be dreary and gray with drizzle. i forgot what thats like. when a single low stratus cloud blocks out thewhole sk #and fog clings to the trees. my school bus used to drive by a lake where thr fog was so thick i didnt kno how the driver could see the road #but somehow i forgot how much joy suspended water vapor gives me living in a place where when it rains it pours so hard the streets flood #and the greedy ground drinks the landscape dry. but there are new things as well. here smoke rolls up over thr mountains and gets stuck in #the valleys so that the weather forcast reads: Smoke for days on end. im used to tornado warnings and heat warnings and dust storm warnings #but ive never expected Smoke as a type of weather. and im sure there's more to experience. ive only been here like 3 weeks. its not as gree #as home. the storms dont seem to get quite so violent. the woods are so full of bears that its an active threat. but its not the desert #and while ill miss the shapes of desert plants and little lizards. when i look up at the pine and spruce trees i feel like i can breathe a #little easier. well see how i feel once the long cold winter sets in haha #but i dunno. part of me still longs for a violent thunderstorm. one where u can feel the temperature drop and u csn feel it building all da #one that bends the trees and smells like ozone. it was never like that in thr southwest and im not sure that happens here #but maybe thats just a desire for chaos and violence as a product of my pathological internal control. i cant be spontaneous so let nature #bring the fear to me. some of my favorite memories are watching lightning strikes #so it goes i suppose #unrelated #listen. is it fucked up to have ohio nostalgia? maybe so. but in my defense i grew up in the pretty part of ohio lol
