Welcome to my blog! It’s pretty empty now but I plan to use it a lot more soon. I started out posting nudes of myself on here when I just turned 18 (sadly that blog is gone now) and I wanted to return again because it was fun.

Watch this space for more coming soon!

clay and tools and doing nothing; better than argument

Action was better than argument. Besides, he knew argument could not make things seem right to the child. Words were utterly useless. He went to the telephone and called up the police department and asked them to send some one for the baby. The rest of the morning passed like a distorted dream. The little, plaster figures about the room seemed suddenly imbued with silent, condemning souls. Dudley Crane moved restlessly about, puttering with his clay and tools and doing nothing. Gladiola sat with the baby against her breast, rubbing the tiny hands and feet, blowing upon the transparent cheeks...

— Ruth Sawyer, Gladiola Murphy (1923) : 117 : link (google) same (Ohio State U copy/scan, via hathitrust) : link

“The product of mixed blood, Irish, Indian and Yankee is Gladiola Murphy. Her history is interesting, as it shows that one can be superior to one’s surroundings and family. Although Gladiola is surrounded by drunkenness, shiftlessness, moral and physical dirt, she is naturally refined and intelligent, an inheritance from an early ancestor of sturdy character. The redemption of the child and her marriage to a Boston aristocrat, who proves to be a cad and unworthy of her is the subject of the story... delightful humor and some pathos are there, but the characters are too well manipulated and are too idealistic to be convincing.” Boston Transcript Review (March 14, 1923), in Marion A. Knight and Mertice M. James, eds., Book Review Digest, Nineteenth Annual Cumulation: Reviews of 1923 books (1924) : link

Useless Words

Taste and smell of rain and beyond the veil, your voice, its trembling undertones without body or remorse; these hours that keep me as an ornament. Even the ocean's largess lies flat without resonance. Your voice still beating inside my skull, as if I could put my fingers through my eyes and pull you out. This dumb external universe. Those commonplace things, coffee and toast; then we had nothing but streets, the city trees; lived in rented rooms. Why does your body odor retain such violence; your ordinary shirts become cloth of lamé, bitter flowers?

— Ruth Stone, In the Next Galaxy (2002)

this delicious powder keg of useless words,

wants barely visible, a life already ruined

we live according to the deadness of nature

the battering of your will against a violent wall

retreat into eyes piercing anger, what can we

do instead of acting like we care, to stop the

incessant barrage of restraint, deadening

minds with propaganda to explode your inner

reality looking for change but finding hate and

violence, this continuous dying, releasing nervous

electric voices living in strong currents of bitterness

suddenly reminded of when i was in highschool and i desperately wanted to make a tumblr friend because one of my irl friends made a really close friend on tumblr and even though they were literally around the world they visited each other and have stayed close all these years

even i don't talk to that irl friend anymore and i still see fb posts of them visiting each other every once in a while

anyway because I mentioned wanting to make tumblr friends a different irl friend who had a decently popular tumblr offered to help me and got one of her tumblr friends to message me

the only problem was i didn't know how the fuck to be normal???? so i started our conversation by saying "we're friends now no take backs" and it only got worse from there until i was eventually ghosted

was reminded of this because I accidentally met someone who lives in the same apartment building as me through another friend and i have realized i still don't know how to be normal.

someone please tell me why the first thing I said was "cool i can just knock on your door whenever and find you o.o" needless to say i don't think we're gonna become close

#why am i like this #i am cringe #useless words #friends #is this my first post?

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

#DPxDC #dcxdp #Danny makes a card game to save the world.#Technically he worded the ritual so that they had to ‘beat’ him as those are the most powerful barriers and most reliable.#keys can just get lost or stolen (like the one to Pariah’s Coffin)#A riddle would be useless once someone figured out the answer. Like how no one takes the sphynx seriously anymore.#(Sorry Tuck. But it’s true).#And there is NO WAY Danny is just leaving a hole open for anyone to pass through. No thank you!#So…beating him. But it’s not like Danny wanted to fight so…he edited the ritual a TINY bit. Card games are good. Much less painful too.#Danny Tucker and Sam made the most complicated card game they could imagine.#It’s based on their strategies for fighting ghosts. Capturing them in thermoses. And MUCH based on a on field battle strategy.#It often requires spontaneous thinking on the spot. So Danny? In his ELEMNT. It doubles as practice for his actual ghost battles too.#They had SO much fun making this.#Sam added an entire series of plant cards that act as traps and healing ointments and duds that just take up the field.#Tucker added legitimate hyroglyphics combined with Latin as well as English and ghost speak.#Yes. You actually have to speak that language to play. With proper pronunciation. (Amity Parker’s think the three are talking gibberish.)#I headcanon Sam and Tucker are fluent in Ghost.#Constantine WILL figure this game out SO HELP HIM!#Some of the cards also have combinations related to constellations either in name or placement on the board.#By the way the board is based on a Hexagonal summoning circle with Rhunes along the edges #And the placement of the cards on the board and on what rhune MATTERS.#Also the cards move disintegrate and have certain abilities. Think of Harry Potter Wizard Chess.#But they are normal when Danny plays at school. This is just for ✨effect✨ Against invaders.#Danny faces multiple opponents. He also halts alien invasions.#While Danny COULD stop crime on earth he’s not sure how to fight a normal human and hold back so he sticks to ghosts.#The Justice league are going crazy trying to figure out who this entity is and after deep research are convinced this is some sort of #Ancient being who has protected earth for millenia. They have paintings on ruins and everything.#Danny is not aware they think this.#Raven starts praying to Danny as if he is a god and wrangles the other Teen Titans into doing so as well. Danny is still unaware of this.#Danny is not a King or an ancient. Just a very VERY strong ghost.

Imagine coming home after a long day and they just hug you. They hug you in a way that melts all the tension from your muscles, and makes the stresses of the day fade into some distant memory. It’s one of those hugs you feel like you could fall asleep in, but you don’t want to because you want to savor every ounce of it even though you know you’ll get a million more of them

I’ll probably always wish it was him in the end. But the thing is, he never really saw losing me as the end of the world, so maybe he was never something for me to wish for at all.

I cannot wait for Maggie and Nina to spot Crowley lurking around and after successfully cornering him ask how things are with him and Aziraphale and he sarcastically says "Bloody excellent" and when they do wring the truth out of him they're just like

its important to remember that long term chronic pain rewires your brain so even after you find a treatment plan that relieves some or all of that pain, you're still gonna have days where you wanna tear all your hair out.

it might feel like it's for no reason! but its cos your brain has new highways in it and traffic still goes thru there whether it makes sense or not

if you're having a bad day, just let your body have a break. Don't try to rationalize it cos the conclusion you might come to is 'wow even with treatment I'm useless' and that's always bad. If your brain and body are telling you "I Can't Do That Right Now", even if you can't figure out the reason, just listen

#tess talks #this is very hard to put into words #also you might be on meds that simulate the depressive episodes #that chronic pain aftermath might leave you with #the brain is extremely complicated #if you're having a bad day just let your body have a break #those mixed up signals of body pain and mental pain are #sometimes the exact same signals #you aren't useless for experiencing pain or the aftermath of it #chronic pain
