2024 APRIL 28 Sunday
"I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples."
~ John 15:5,7-8

I find your response to my question unnecessarily harsh. Tbh, I sent it as a light ask hoping you would go meta about how they are equally crazy about each other. After all, Henry uprooted his life and left his family and country for Alex. He is the one who did the more tangible sacrifice.
For the record, in rl relationships, nothing is 100%. One person always does one thing more than the other. Fictional characters are toxic and co-defendant and that is why they are exciting so there was no need for personalizing a simple ask.
Lesson learned.
Hopefully the lesson learned is "I would like Jen to do a meta on something, so I'm going to send her an ask saying 'hey, can you do a meta on this?' because then there will be no doubt what I am hoping to see and I won't be setting some opaque task that I can be all high horse about when she fails it, having not realised she was being asked to do something rather than give her thoughts on something".
Hopefully the lesson learned is that something is personal when it is coming at you specifically and isn't when a general comment is made about fandom in whole.
Hopefully the lesson learned is that I never said 100%. I said equally. In fact the only reference I made to something being fully on one side was when I made the comment about Person A doing everything and Person B doing nothing and how that is an abusive relationship.
Hopefully the lesson learned is that if you're using the anonymous button then I am not going to play guessing games.

well, after talking my sister-in-law through an unexpected (but not unwarranted!) bout of emotional consternation over the relationship she never pursued because she didn’t have the words to ask for it when it was offered, I feel like I wanna say god* bless my mom for just. Like. forgetting to instill in me a idea that the Role of the Woman is to be Pursued, never to be the Pursuer. I’m not always confident enough to ask for what I want but it’s certainly not because my momma didn’t teach me to.
I didn’t get to hear the full story of my parents’ first meeting when I was little—it was just “oh, our mutual friend J introduced us, isn’t that nice let’s change the subject 😅”
when I was a little older I overheard them telling the REAL story—mutual friend J did introduce them, at a late-night party, specifically because she was trying to get my poor recently-divorced father laid. J said “Hey P, this is T! He’s a celebrity!**” and my mom, hella drunk and on a level of badass bitch I hope to one day achieve, exclaimed with delight: “Oh, can I sleep with you?? I’ve never slept with a celebrity before!”
So yeah. I’m glad I had a mom who led by example: ask for what you want! Proposition that cute nerd! Fuck on the first date! The worst that can happen is they say no, which sucks, but not as much as never knowing!
*the rhetorical concept, not the divine entity; god’s not real but the phrase is
**a charitable exaggeration, but not a huge one

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.
if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.
additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.
i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."
"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

Tried to tip a tumblr blog at 1am and it was such a suspicious transaction it immediately put a full fraud freeze on my account
Fortunately, banks no longer just ask 'did you make that transaction' they want to make sure you weren't scammed into making that transaction and 5mins after their call will give away all your money anyway.
This is an honest to goodness life saving movement and I cannot be happier banks are adopting it
Unfortunately, it meant I had to have the most embarrassing financial call of my life
-
Me: Ah yeah I was just trying to tip a tumblr blog
Cash: right and were you directed there by a Facebook link? An Instagram advert?
Me: no I was just on tumblr...on purpose
-
Caah: and this person asked you for money?
Me: oh no they just had a funny story, which happened to be about money and I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if I tipped them"
-
Me: * covering a reblog by reblog update on the adventures my mutual was having *
Cash: okay I don't think that can actually happen though..
Me: It might not have, but i was happy to tip them just because it was funny
-
Cash: and how well do you think you know this person?
Me: *considers explaining how much I know about a beloved mutual without ever knowing their name or face* ... I have no idea who this person is
I think in the end Cash decided there was no saving me from myself

Sans do you ever feel that something might be missing?

Maybe he felt like that at some point, maybe for a long time. In the present, I think he's made some kind of peace with it.
Also, I really like the ask blog format, but I don't really mean this to be an ask blog.
So when writing questions, try to refer them to me instead of the characters. That way, they don't have to break the fourth wall lmao. I really wanted to answer this one tho

23-105 Just Ask #7
Today’s Mandala Message: Assume That You Can This week I’m working through Principles #17 and #18 from Jack Canfield’s “The Success Principles” entitled “Ask! Ask! Ask!” and “Reject Rejection” respectively. I set my intention today to ponder the idea of assuming that “I can” expect a yes. When in comes to asking, Canfield states: “Don’t start with the assumption that you can’t get it. If you are…
