glory be to the topsoil. to the worms. to the private church of mushrooms. what makes for a better angel than the quiet promise of decomposition - that thankless, endless task. returning to the earth: this is a final prayer.

you said to me - we understand so much of history through the lens of how each society handled death. i have been thinking about the funeral industry. about embalming. how the devil is supposed to be almost-human, charming. i was raised on teflon pans. the poison in my blood came from good intentions; sprinkled over pancakes and scrambled eggs. will those particles go, too, when i go?

i keep thinking about how many cultures personify death as being gentle. as being a friend. as being kind-of-beautiful. an outstretched hand. oh, we scowl so much at carrion birds; but they make their nests by the worship of a carcass. something about that feels beautiful to me.

i am often scared. i understand why some people seek immortality, even if it's not something i desire. i spend a lot of time worrying about coffins. i spend a lot of time thinking about how if they dug me up, my bones would tell very little about my soft spots. so many of my friends say - i just want to be a tree. i want to find a quiet space and go home. the other day, we got the bill from the funeral home, and i just stood there, staring. this is death?

you said: it's learning backwards. from how a society approaches death, we might learn how they celebrate life. i worry about what that means, sometimes. about what others will think about us. divorced from our contexts, maybe alien archivists will have a fondness for our tendency to call death sleep. maybe they will write essays titled towards the light: an analysis on how some sects of humanity worshipped solely facing east.

oh, there's so much about my life that won't survive. especially these days. there's so little that lasts in-the-same-shape. oh, if the universe is kind - i want them to know that we loved moss. that we loved lichen. that even decay could be beautiful for us; the little warm space of mulch. how i will go home, one day, in the body of a bird. in a worm. in a leaf.

how when we lay a body in the ground, we say: be at peace.

oh, to go to sleep so gracefully. when i go i want to leave no mark. i want the dirt to take me. // r.i.d & a.b

i wanna know more about svsss menopause

They synced their periods together too well. Now they are synced through their perimenopause years.

#Poorly drawn svsss #svsss #shen qingqiu #luo binghe #shang qinghua #mobei jun #ask #I truly think that the peak of the SVSSS (peri)menopause era is just them commiserating over the experience of it.#Not pictured here is Liu Qingge barely suppressing his hormonal rage. He would have it *bad*.#I think Liu Mingyan is the only person who does not have a bad time with menopause because she takes estrogen supplements.#Which sounds like a trans headcanon but I think regardless of cis/trans status she's researched this and is prepared.#I have developed a sense for what menopause is purely by exposure to the various complaints I have overheard/been told.#These are all very specific and yet very common stories.#I do not know what the overlap is for SVSSS fans and people (not just women) going through menopause. I hope this is funny to SOMEONE.#It's an untapped market of potential! Too many young'uns in these woods.#Synced periods this. Ovulating that. Where's the menopausal homicidal rage?#Come on! Ripping off your clothing in a sudden burst of heat is *SO* SVSSS core!!! Make perimenopause sexy!!!#Anyways. Please put your menopause headcanons in the comments/tags <3 I'd love to hear them.#Thank you joblessmonday for following up with an ask and giving me an excuse to release this train of thought.

New farmer (for 1.6 update reasons).

His name is Death and he's really death. He's pretty quiet and just wants to live in peace with his chickens. Tries to interact with the town as little as possible but is really curious about them and how they live and is super satisfied to simply watch them - but as the new person it seems no one wants to let that happen.

#stardew valley #sdv sam #farmer death #listen i just wanna name all my animals after ocs and have my farmer love and dote on them #those animals are like his beloved children just like my ocs are my beloved children #no i have no real idea what im doing but i spent all day debating if i would make him fish themed or not #and it was a really tough decision bc im indecisive #so then i debated doing a coin flip online and realized if i was that torn between my fish bits vs a death chara #may as well opt for the death guy since i have three fish farmers #sadly i cant play this file as easily bc its via steam which means i have to use my laptop #since i couldnt get the update on switch RIP that woulda been easier for me to access

Sorry About ranting about how the fandom treats demoman but god there is so many things I can talk about. from the exclusion, to the stereotyping him, to mischaracterization and to the weird fetishization... lord. being a demo fan is a hard battle.

#averitext #also #noticed this genre of stereotyping demo as african american which. wow #just goes to show how little people care and KNOW about black people in general #I stand by the FACT that he would have been so fucking popular if he was white.#and I mean medic level popular. no joke #LIKE alcoholic silly guy who is cursed and has one of the best merc backstory ever #woah he is black.... nvmmm IG.....#ripping my hair out CANT EVEN LAUGH AT THIS

i love how optimistic i am when outlining long fics it's like "oh wow if i just plan this all out and then Follow. The. Plan!! it will totally be SO EASY. i mean i can have it all done so quickly!"

...ignoring the fact that this has never once happened 😂

#kayla rambles #writing thingsss #the closest thing is the time i did ladynoir july because like...i did write 60k in around 50 days #but i was a lot less picky about my writing then ajsfbkdsjf #like i COULD NOT write that fic now. and also i would write it so differently now 😭 but not the point #and i still updated the outline many times while writing that #also is 60k even a long fic? to me that's just medium. though i know that depends on who you ask #and i suppose by my standards i've never actually finished a 'long fic' (yet...but i have 4 in progress oops)#RIP to the shera fic that i only have one chapter of left to write asjfbdksjd maybe one day #on the plus side i feel like i'm getting better at outlining!!!#and i'm having fun which is the important thing!!#plus who knows maybe the break from actual writing will help #(if i manage not to cave akjfdskjd it's only been 4 days and idk if i'm strong enough to resist much longer)

i wish more people would explore how weird interesting john and lisa’s relationship is. ok yeah childhood friends who drift apart but also john seems to be actively avoiding her. it’s CRAZY to me that lisa seems to have sent john several letters that he keeps ignoring, even was she was literally begging him for help and was obviously very worried about her safety. he only goes to the apartments at all because father garcia tells him to! what the fuck man! i think lisa should get to be mad about the fact that john seemingly tried to cut her out of his life and then avoided coming to help her until he absolutely had to. they should probably talk about that. can anyone hear me

#tbh ngl imo etc etc lisa seems to have been regulated largely to like #‘woman who is nice to and supports John’#which is WHATEVER i guess the game itself doesn’t really give you anything more than that #i just wish ppl would flesh her out a bit more idk.#if my childhood friend who i got my soul ripped out with suddenly ghosted me even when i was begging him to help me I would be a bit peeved #WHATEVER!#faith the unholy trinity #lisa pearson #john Ward #yells at cloud

Marissa, victimized by an infection

I came up with the concept of an infected Marissa who could become a secret boss in the game

When you come to her for the first time, she behaves as usual and asks you to listen to her song. You sit down in your seat, listen, she thanks you, and you leave. However, if you don't convert her into essence right away, the next time you visit her, she changes her appearance a little, and again asks you to listen to her sing, a little more insistently. As a result, with each of your visits, the signs that she is infected will become more obvious, and she will ask you to stay more and more intrusive, until finally she wants you to listen to her forever, and then the boss fight will happen

I think the Radiance captured her mind with bright memories of her beloved city and its inhabitants, now stricken by the plague, of her bright concerts and former glory, and of close friends who disappeared, were infected or were preparing to fall asleep forever. Most likely, she died possessed by these visions, and her ghost, who remained on the stage, unaware of his death, was also possessed

#Infected Marissa is like WOW #I was watching the passage of some newbie who had a boss waiting on every corner #And he thought that Marissa's location also leads to the boss and I'm like #WOOOOOW #I want this damn thing #Marissa's reaction to the player's departure would have started from grateful to frankly annoyed that he was leaving #Why can't you just stay and listen to me forever???#Is my singing not good enough for you???#Did everyone else leave because I wasn't good enough???#If I rip off your legs and rip out your eyes you'll have no choice but to listen to me.#/and the aggressive vocals begin/ the soundtrack is purely from her voice/#Maybe in the process of fighting as always we would break the surrounding things #And behind them would be the corpses of beetles without legs and eyes which had not been seen before #hollow knight #hk #hollow khight marissa #hk marissa #hk boss

I couldn't stop thinking about an AU where Daniel resorts to gathering vitae again, this time to 'cure' Hazel, after his Brennenburg adventure💫, thoughts all mainly derived from this loadscreen text that tells us that Hazel is still in hospice care by the time the game's story began.

As much as I love Daniel, I don't think he really learned all that much from his experience even in the most charitable ending towards him in which he saves Agrippa. I can very, VERY easily see him slipping back into old ways if it meant saving Hazel. The most he seems to approach viewing torture as bad is when he realizes he himself no longer counts as an innocent so he can't justify killing others to save himself anymore. But killing no good, horrible, bad people to save HAZEL? Now, we're cooking with gas 😀 💀

#amnesia the dark descent #daniel of mayfair #hazel amnesia #fan art #frictional games #curing hazel AU #is what i'm calling it 🤣 i have a lot of other ideas i've been brainstorming #i'm considering this a title page i guess idk 😐 i kind of want to make this a larger project i work on but we'll see how that turns out 😅#also the lighting here is only for the drama💫 i don't think hazel would actually drink bright blue tea even if daniel gave it to her 😂#other things i'd like to explore in this au maybe: daniel and hazel reuniting/daniel taking her to live with him in london #the orb coming back into the picture wouldn't it be funny if the shadow brought it back like 'here you forgot this' lmao #obvs not SAYING that but the vibe💫#daniel being a bad scary man again which is highkey heartbreaking to imagine 🥲#daniel almost getting caught by authorities and giving them the orb like 'here's all the info you need 😊' knowing damn well he just marked #those men for the shadow now rip #hazel living a 'normal' life not knowing what daniel be up to #hazel being healthy 🥲#hazel meeting the mandus she meets that is oswald's great grandfather?#i have IDEAS #and i know most of them probably won't get drawn which is why i'm word vomiting them into the tags 🤣

i had to throw out my partner when they became frighteningly manipulative and abusive, barely a month after moving into this new place

the landlord, being a chill dude, let us move in with the stipulation that we would pay $100 - $200 more in rent each month to pay off the $850 pet deposit. partner assured me this was happening. it was not.

I asked them to pay a third of it, seeing as their male cat marked the entire apartment and I had to go out and get some enzyme killer and hose the place down. they said they'd send me $200 on the first.

that did not happen lol and now they've ghosted and blocked me.

I keep trying to get back on my feet, only to keep taking financial blow after financial blow. inflation is killing me. I'm trans and disabled, on a fixed income, my personal debts are mounting (which I hate with an absolute passion) and I can't even do my commission work rn because I'm so fucked up from stress all the time.

I cannot pay a $850 pet deposit. I have no family or friends that I can borrow from. as it is, $700 of my $1100 monthly benefit goes to rent & bills. the remaining $400 goes to ramen, cereal, cat food, busfare, meds. I eat once a day, twice if I'm lucky. I cannot reduce that budget by another $100 for eight months and survive.

please help me. I'm so tired of drowning.

p_yp_l (@alexmystery)

#suffering™️#ill b ok. i always am. i just need some help #my mother just dropped $1500 on a cash gift for my brothers wedding which i wasnt invited to #meanwhile im struggling to feed myself and pay bills and prepare for school #plus its the 14 year anniversary of my aunties death and im grieving her.#she never would have let the fam treat me like this. it could have been so different. rip.

Ok and on that while I do think having the Option to switch ryan and kaitlyn in chapter 7 would have made a more interesting game, I do value time with the bestie and dylan/kaitlyn bonding time was the best part of the game imo

#like I get most people want the switch for shipping purposes which there is nothing wrong with #I am a kaitlyn stan and also I don't hate jacob and I think having her find jacob in the basement would have been so so cool #like she dedicated freaks out a bit but her being so collected when all this shit is going down is very much her character #so having her absolutely lose it if she fails to get jacob out or even if it made the puzzle harder somehow #like it was harder for her to focus ohhh it would have been so good #*definitely #I also saw a post that said the only way to save all of the hacketts (well minus kaylee rip) would be if ryan stepped back #and let kaitlyn and laura handle it and then he would have the chance to kill silas in the scrap yard #and that whole idea has rewired my brain can you Imagine #this game. this game. sooo close to being really good #the quarry

gdfjhkgdfjhkdghjfkgdfjhk AMAZING hater ask to send a lifelong Williams fan

#girl you have no idea how badly i want to see a Williams W #i would absolutely go apeshit bananatown #i would rip my shirt off at work if it appeared on the news channel even if i didn't get to watch the race #i would make gorilla noises #this event would turn me into daniel ricciardo #i would be permanently altered by a Williams win #it's been thirty one years of mostly hurt and i would absolutely lose any decorum i could ever have been credited of having #which is like nothing anyway #but i would enter negative numbers #to a degree that mathematicians would call frustrating and annoying #also for many reasons i think mclaren can eat shit as an organisation so #this is the opposite of hating actually
