my heart fell out while i was on a walk through the forest and it got covered in pine needles and then an osprey picked it up but she dropped it in the sea and the fish ate a hole straight through it before it was washed ashore and when i found it again chamomiles were growing in the cavity. i put it back inside of me and now the world seems stranger and more beautiful than ever

oh my god thank you so much
help finding a particular text post
so there was a post going around, I think I saw it end of 2023/early 2024. that I would desperately like to track down, but I'm having trouble turning it up.
It described how sometimes when it comes to understanding a problem, you might first notice it as, say, a cosmetic problem with a house - a crack in the plaster or rotten floorboard or something; but the more you investigate, the deeper the problem seems to go, until it's escalated to a sinkhole to hell in the basement.
But then you meet someone new who just noticed the cosmetic problem, and you have to figure out how to talk to them about that when you are aware of the sinkhole to hell in the basement.
it lives in my mind rent-free these days and I'd really like to reread it for concrete details and to reference and credit properly.
i appreciate any help tracking it down!

Sometimes the smallest thing can rewrite the trajectory of your life. For example: the reason I could only think about Dragon Ball Z for five years of my mortal life is I attended a local theater one-act play based on Waiting for Godot where Vegeta and Frieza were fighting on namek and waiting for Goku. It was so good it rewrote my brain chemistry permanently

Here's the thing about Jareth from Labyrinth right?
He's made up.
That's not necessarily the same thing as not REAL. But he, just like all her friends who show up in her room before her adventure as toys and figurines, exist in relation to her, in response to what she wanted and needed. She told the story and there he was, there he always had been. But she's a teenage girl who doesn't know what she wants yet, and Jareth kind of pays the price.
"but the king of the goblins had fallen in love with the girl, and had given her certain powers." He's an archetypal oxymoron. He's both the dastardly baby stealing villain and the royal love interest trying to relieve the heroine's suffering, Cinderella style. He's fucked either way by being both. She doesn't know if SHE wants to be the villain or the heroine until he shows up and then she decides on the heroine, so he has to sneer and menace and challenge but it's too late for him!! it's too late, The King Of The Goblins Had Fallen In Love With the Girl, he's Cinderella's prince too and he has to try, he gives her a poofy dress and takes her to fucking goblin prom, sweeps her around the room like a music box with perfect posture and room for Jesus.
But it doesn't work buddy, it can't work. You're just a story for a teen girl to grow up in, and as the villain you have to be defeated. He's so complex because his tropes contradict themselves, and he doesn't understand why he has to lose when he was only doing the job he was given. In his last scene he is pale as death with shadows under his eyes, backing away and begging for his happy ending with nonsense mishmash promises that belong to both halves of him.
"I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me." I'm sure you are, Jareth. No wonder.

I'm working on putting together the design for the sticker bookplates that are available in the Wychwood Volume 1 Kickstarter campaign! :D I'll be sketching characters from the story on each of these too-- there will only be a limited number of these available (I won't make any more than I need for the Kickstarter, and won't be remaking them later), so if you're interested, you can check out the campaign here:

I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been

You know that asteroid that almost destroyed Earth in the 90s? Turns out the whole thing was secretly created by Michael Bay, who then PAID Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck to look heroic while blowing it up!
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Cueball is holding a guitar and singing on a pier.]
The ship was the pride
of the American side
It was due to set
sail forCleveland
As the big freighters go,
it was bigger than most
With a crew and good
captain well seasoned
But taking a walk on
the shore by the dock
Was a songwriter named
Gordon Lightfoot
He was humming a tune
but it didn't have words
For it's challenging
trying to write good
Poor Gordon sought glory
but needed a story
His career in folk
music imperiled
He mulled over this as
he watched them do work
On the hull of the
Edmund Fitzgerald
Perhaps it was wrong,
what he did for a song
He should never have
bribed that mechanic
But his maritime crimes
are no worse than the time
Young James Cameron
sank the Titanic
