On today’s episode of “The Alectopause is Slowly Driving Me to Insanity”

I had the genuine, only partially joking, thought today: “what if the strangely numerous amount of worm references and metaphors are leading up to a ‘would you still love me if I was a worm’ joke”

#the locked tomb #i too believe that they are

one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstrous ways. people can be bone deep kind and loving and self reflective and still lash out under pressure. people can be earnestly neighbourly and charitable and hospitable and generous and still find themselves in situations where they become selfish. people can be well meaning and easygoing and gregarious and hold deep seated opinions that turn them into vicious little bullies under the right conditions. nobody is just one thing, and nobody stays one way. every person is a kaleidoscope and they will surprise you. you will surprise yourself. it's not a warning and it's not a judgement and it's not an excuse, and it's certainly not a reason to stop trying or to stop trusting. it is just a fact.

i think it's so so so great that beating someone up can actually injure and scar you. like from a symbolic perspective. every act of violence leaves a mark on you, chipping away at you with each blow until you're nothing but hard muscle and sharp edges. the hurt you visit on others shapes you in its image.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

I’m sorry, I can’t come into work today. I didn’t get a long rest and god gave me a point of exhaustion. All my skill checks are at disadvantage.

sorry babe you're still hot it's just the way you didn't tell anyone you were receiving a countdown to your death and willingly handed yourself over kind of threw me off a bit

Every day those skeleton lesbians are on my dash beating the shit out of each other or making out or playing mario kart. I don't even know what kind of media the locked tomb is. Is it a tv series? A collection of plushies? A webcomic? A limited edition beverage with an oddly detailed lore behind it? Perchance. All of these questions and more could be solved by a simple google search, yet I kind of like having something that I have no context for - or understanding of - cross my dash occasionally. Adds a bit of spice. McGriddle and Shark? I hope they get gay married. I hope this isn't a queerbaiting situation or whatever. I hope they have lots of skeleton babies and their coffee shop continues to thrive. I hope they finally kill the onceler.

#the locked tomb #kinda. #i also hope they get gay married. but even if they dont there is no way this is queerbaiting.

you're definitely in too deep with an oc once you start coming up with hypothetical tumblr posts about them

The eternal question - is it worse to read the words of someone who hates a character you love but is accurate/respectful in their points/portrayal, or someone who loves them more than you do but strips them of all nuance and greyness to legit "they did nothing wrong" when they did SO MUCH WRONG?

#second one worse for sure
