so i havent made an Original Post in quite a while but i really dislike most beardcare advice, cause it's usually all about "taming" the beard, and that's just not gonna work.

The amount of times where I've seen advice that has "use a straightener" as like tip number 5 in their list, is Too Many.

Also every time I see some kinda company go "don't use normal hair shampoo and conditioner on your beard! it's got bad stuff! use our product instead!" and then you look up the ingredients of their product and it's Literally Worse. i am Begging curly beard folks to look up the curly girl method Please

Anyways,, should i make a Full Post with Proper beard care advice? cause it pains me to see those "my face is scratchy as hell but i look cool" memes (if this is your situation i'm so sorry for you, your facial hair is probably drier than a desert)

my credentials: i have a Full beard, my face is not scratchy, my partners (claim to) enjoy messing with it and it has not yet been a kiss deterrent, i get compliments from strangers about how fancy the curls in my beard look

#original post #mine #beards #beardcare #facial hair care #curly beard #?? idk how else to tag #anyways if your face is scratchy as hell please STOP washing your beard with harsh soaps and google the curly girl method #i am BEGGING #orig post

There’s something neat about sitting down and reading someone’s meta for a show you have no intention of watching at length. It’s like hot cocoa. Yes, please tell me the true meaning of this multiseason TV show I’ve seen 1.5 episodes of. I’ll happily take all the spoilers to watch the care and joy people put into dissecting media.

it may be the aroace in me talking but i think its kind of ridiculous how people think romantic partners should always come before friends no matter what

#no type of relationship is inherently more important than another #learn to balance them or die by my blade #orig post

[library-seraph]

My The Locked Tomb hot take: I don't think perfect lyctorhood is possible. I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect lyctorhood that's inherently perfectly balanced. I think lyctorhoods are about relationships (in a series explicitly about the "horrors of love") and about codependency and about relationships shaped by empire.

Like I generally think we're going to get a bittersweet, hopeful ending for Gideon and Harrow and their relationship but I don't think it'll be in a perfect lyctorhood. To me, that would be equivalent of them having a perfect relationship where they never hurt each other in mundane ways.

I sometimes wonder if they'll break the soul-bond and start afresh but I tend to lean towards "mutually choosing exactly how to eat parts of each other in exchange" just because I feel like that's better at literalizing the emotional codependency.

every time i see the "bees have 3 genders" post i get a little bit closer to becoming the joker. that explanation makes no goddamn sense and i'm saying this as a beekeeper.

not gonna go do a full rant here but ive seen it way too many times to not make this grumbly post.

bees dont work like that! drones literally are males! workers and queens are both females! that's how their whole internal system is set up! the queen just got special food and also a whole spermatheca from her "bridal trip"! that's the difference! she still started out the same way as a worker larva!

okay grumbles are over for now, if you ask me about this be prepared for a powerpoint that i Will make. because i have too many beekeeping resources and also opinions

#my post #idk i dont have a good tag for original posts #orig post #beekeeping tag #i hate that post so much that addition of 'actually bees have 3 genders' gets on my nerves #grumbles

Griddlehark Playlist

What the title says, primarily about their relationship although there are a few individualized songs

(very heavily Harrow the ninth biased, which is the most romantic book despite or because of one member of the couple not being to able to remember the other)

Liner notes below cut, also, this is a perpetual WIP like all my playlists

Lioness- The World Is a Beautiful Place and I am Not Afraid to Die

When I was with you we were an estuary I don’t know if I come from the river or the sea All I know is you are both my opposite and my reflection

We were two bodies Running out of room in this world We carved space in ourselves for the other to borrow, for the other to burrow I wake up sometimes with ghost traces of your lips on my bones

Cosmia- Joanna Newsom (Joanna Newsom isn't on Spotify, track these down elsewhere)

Water were your limbs And the fire was your hair — And then the moonlight caught your eye And you rose through the air Well, if you've seen true light Then this is my prayer:

Will you call me, when you get there?

And I miss your precious heart;

NFWMB- Hozier

Give your heart and soul to charity 'Cause the rest of you The best of you Honey, belongs to me

If I was born as a blackthorn tree I'd wanna be felled by you Held by you Fuel the pyre of your enemies

Daughter of God- Phemiec

Doubt’s an elastic that snaps where you grasp it With idle hands clasped on your wrist just as sharp as A kiss on the scar where you carved out her name Or a line that is straight and confined to your fate You’re resigned to be damned by your hand in her hand She will hold you as soft as a feather on water You float on her fingers, she pulls you apart It’s not hard, it won't hurt, it’s not right for a daughter of god

There is a Light that Never Goes Out- Dum Dum Girls (cover)

And in the darkened underpass I thought oh, God, my chance has come at last But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask

And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die

Take Me to Church- Hozier (I'm allowed two screamingly obvious songs)

We were born sick, you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom" The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well

Never Let Me Go- Florence+ the Machine (This is the other one)

And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me But the arms of the ocean delivered me

The Only Thing- Sufjan Stevens

Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they’re found In a veil of great surprises, I wonder did you love me at all?

Should I tear my eyes out now? Everything I see returns to you, somehow Should I tear my heart out now? Everything I feel returns to you, somehow I want to save you from your sorrow

Los Ageless (Piano Version)- St. Vincent

How can anybody have you? How can anybody have you and lose you? How can anybody have you and lose you And not lose their mind too?

I guess that's just me, honey, I guess that's how I'm built I try to tell you I love you but it comes out all sick I guess that's just me, honey, I guess that's how I'm built I try to write you a love song but it comes out a lament

Running up that Hill- Kate Bush (Okay, three)

You don't wanna hurt me But see how deep the bullet lies Unaware, I'm tearin' you asunder Oh, there is thunder in our hearts Is there so much hate for the ones we love? Oh, tell me, we both matter, don't we?

New Ceremony- Dry the River

I waited by your bedside And couldn't close my eyes all night I named you like a prayer It's anybody's guess how The angel of doubt came down And crept into your bed But after we danced to the shipping forecast The words escaped your mouth: "I know it's gotta stop, love, but I don't know how."

Now the stairs forget your shoes And the gate don't creak for want of you But the jury's out on me We're wise beyond our years But we're good at bad ideas, my love Or so it seems to be

OH ANNA- The Microphones

Oh Anna, take me in with water arms surround me, blow your breezy charms around me Oh Anna, you're a house of many rooms and all the secrets deep entombed within you I know a few

Oh Anna, take me to your eerie heights above, paint white letters "I you love" Oh Anna, drop me off a cliff I fall

Weights and Measures- Dry the River

I was prepared to love you And never expect anything of you There's no patron saint of silent restraint Baby there ain't no sword in our lake Just a funeral wake

Just because we're beasts of blame by nature Doesn't mean that you should carry it again It's a question of needs and not rosary beads in the end

No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross- Sufjan Stevens

Drag me to hell in the valley of The Dalles Like my mother Give wings to a stone It’s only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back in the shade of the meadowlark Like a champion Get drunk to get laid I take one more hit when you depart

The Bomb- Florence+ the Machine (This is "Kiriona Gaia has been abandoned by everybody except two of the worst people in canon and everything except being a warcrimes corpse puppet and she's TOTALLY FINE with that, honest")

But if I was free to love you You wouldn't want me, would you? Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong

I've blown apart my life for you And bodies hit the floor for you And break me, shake me, devastate me Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong I don't love you, I just love the bomb (Oh, oh, oh) I let it burn, but it just had to be done (Oh, oh, oh) And I'm in ruins, but is it what I wanted all along? Sometimes, you get the girl, sometimes, you get the song

Francesca- Hozier

Do you think I'd give up? That this might've shook the love from me Or that I was on the brink? How could you think, darlin', I'd scare so easily? Now that it's done There's not one thing that I would change My life was a storm since I was born How could I fear any hurricane?

If someone asked me at the end I'd tell them, "Put me back in it" (Da-ah, darlin') I would do it again (Ah-ah, ah-ah) If I could hold you for a minute (Da-ah, darlin') I'd go through it again (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

In a Sweater Poorly Knit- mewithoutYou

You're a door-without-a-key, a field-without-a-fence You made a holy fool of me and I've thanked you ever since And if she comes circling back we'll end where we'd begun Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one But if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken open seed If I come without a thing, then I come with all I need No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead

Kept Woman- Fleet Foxes (Tbh this is probably the soundtrack to the ideal stigmata fisting/heart regrowing scene)

God above saw, ever in the mind Blue and white irises in a line Under your nameless shame I left you in frame, and you rose to be ossified As a Rose of the Oceanside

Can you be slow for a little while? Widow your soul for another mile? I'm just the same as when You saw me back then And we're bound to be reconciled We're bound to be reconciled

The Chain- Fleetwood Mac

And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you sayin' You would never break the chain (Never break the chain) And if you don't love me now (You don't love me now) You will never love me again I can still hear you sayin' (Still hear you saying) You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)

Time as a Symptom- Joanna Newsom

So it would seem to be true: When cruel birth debases, we forget When cruel death debases We believe it erases all the rest That precedes

In the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating Joy of life; The nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating Joy of life
