Well, I don't want to accept the things I cannot change; I don't want to be happy with a fucking half glass of anything.

— Tennessee Williams, Interview with James Grissom, New Orleans, 1982 in Follies of God (via Alive on All Channels)

#y'all i would really appreciate prayer for a decision i have to make this week #(keep in mind i got back to canada like. less than 48 hours ago so my mental capacity is iffy lol) #i have had a job opportunity at my college literally fall into my lap #its an exec assistant position which tbh is very much the sort of thing i was hoping to find for this year #i would just have to commit for one academic year which would be perfect #id learn a lot #and id get discounted tuition to finish ny second degree here. #BUT it would mean finding housing and moving to my college town probably within the next month #it would be yet another big change in my life #I'd be farther from family and from The Boy #and i was rwally looking forward to lots of things about living with my parents (also stressed about other aspects #but rn the familiarity and stability sounds amazing) #so im really torn. idk what to choose.

I would like to echo the last anon you got, absolutely focus on your health and your happiness!!! What you’ve already created is AMAZING, and you’ve already made such a huge impact on a lot of people with it. We’ll all be happy to hear anything else you come out with if you ever do, but i feel like I speak for a lot of people when i say, we care more about your well being than any future work.

Also, I definitely relate to the desire to create when it’s just out of reach. I love music to the point that i got a degree for it, but after college my hands gave out on me and i can’t play my main instruments without pain. It hurts my heart, but I’ve been trying to find alternatives, maybe learn a new instruments that doesn’t require the same muscles. It will be a struggle, but sometimes finding other routes to happiness can bring lots of unexpected joy along the way.

That’s very sweet!! Thank you very deeply to you and everyone who sent me similar sentiments :’)

as for the second part, I agree and I think it’s an Important and very true bit of reassurance for creatives out there who find themselves with physical/mental/financial limitations to their creative process, sometimes it can feel very disheartening, but I think often working within limitations can provide new and interesting avenues you might not have considered. Without access to my normal singing voice I’ve experimented a lot with with my Ugliarchy/instrumental/electronica music, which has been really fun and freeing.

sometimes life forces you in an unexpected direction, and it might suck, but if you keep an open mind and focus on what you can still do sometimes you can really surprise yourself with the versatility and adaptability of your own creative spirit. It’s life affirming to know that both you and your art are capable of surviving change.

#Asks #anonymous #I’m not an ‘everything happens for a reason’ person #I believe that life is mostly chaos and shit happens and sometimes very bad permanent shit happens for no reason #but when shit happens if you can let yourself change; that serenity prayer shit and find an ease into new normals #instead of living in the past or an alternate universe that doesn’t exist #you can find real wells of power inside yourself #It’s an incredible thing to experience #you are human and alive and permitted to change #To let yourself be as you are #and to try new ways of thinking and being and doing

Personally, I feel like Janna's worship in Arcane, specifically in Zaun, has faded or that she's generally unpopular as a goddess. In most League lore fir Zaun, Janna's presence is an afterthought at best if not outright nonexistent to most Zaunites. In the game, most Zaun champions react to her dismissively or with actual resentment like Renata, at best new characters like Zeri are delightedly shocked to know she exists at all.

If you think about it, Piltover has more things that acknowledge Janna with than Zaun. In League, Piltover named its wealthiest neighborhood, the Blue Wind Court, which is one of Janna's powers. Meanwhile, in Arcane, the show defines Zaun with Jinx's special birds (crows) than Janna's own sacred birds, the blue bird, in Zaun to lay claim to the space.

Sidenote: Convergence and Legends of Runeterra are the exception, but Convergence's worldbuilding is pretty opposite day on Zaun's lore and tone. And LoR's Janna and her followers don't actually fit the aesthetic of Zaun, they all look like they live somewhere else in Shurima. It all makes it seem that League really didn't know how to integrate a Janna into Zaun after the first story retcon.

#arcane #janna lol #league of legends #zaun #arcane meta #lol lore is interesting because the gods and spirits people wordship are real #so in theory if you ask for real tangible things from your very real god why wouldn’t worshippers resent and abandon a god #who doesn't answer their prayers #the same can be said for a goddess of fresh air with worshippers that live in a place completely characterized by smog #wouldn't they eventually resent or abandon Janna's worship altogether when things don't change #obviously there's more to it but we can explore it together #why can't i keep these things short

I'll say it...

Your 'all knowing god' knew these people were pedophiles, rapists and murderers

Your 'all powerful god' did nothing to stop pedophile priests from raping children, just like nothing was done to stop ignorant people from murdering other people with assault rifles

Enough with useless fucking platitudes like empty thoughts and prayers...

No lives matter to the NRA

#mass shootings #another mass shooting #gun violence #insecure ammosexuals #the nra is a terrorist organization #nramurikkka #no lives matter to the nra #thoughts do nothing #prayers are pointless #common sense gun laws #nothing changes unless we make changes

I've been doing so much research for my Fit disability fic (mostly research about prosthetics) and I've been doing a lot of research about hearing aids too, completely forgetting I have an Actual Person In My Life who uses hearing aids who I could straight up ask about stuff.

#i talk #fic talk #one of those things where it's just. so normal I forgot about it. lmao #was literally talking about hearing aids with him for an hour today and then I was suddenly like ''WAIT. IM A FOOL'' #<- not really though. everyone's experience is different and more research is never a bad thing #it's just funny that I immediately went ''ah yes let's look at research papers and medical notes and people's lived experience etc.'' #instead of being like ''Hey lemme start by asking my Tio a few basic questions'' #pftttt #I really hope I finish chapter 2 by Monday I wound up having a good idea and changed a big chunk #I'm excited though! the change makes things even better and fleshes stuff out more #I'm really glad I shared chapter one. Everyone's been so nice and it's giving me even more motivation to work on the fic #I need to speed eat and pass out so I can wake up early (ish) and try to work on it before tomorrow's QSMP event #prayer hands #qsmp talk

at the end of the day i haven't even made a list of new year's resolutions because i genuinely think the entirety of my sanity and wellness in the upcoming year will depend on whether i manage to obtain these exact two things:

- a (good) new job

- some source of new community

ideally they would come separately (a second and third space) but i would be ecstatic even if they came together, just as long as they do come. i genuinely believe me being alright in the long run completely hinges on me getting these two aspects sorted. everything else literally does not matter in comparison

#if you're religious spiritual or even just someone who likes to wish well on people please please throw a wish my way #a thought a prayer anything #i so desperately want change #i NEED this year to be different and better i need to break out of this slump i've been living in since mid-2022 #susie.txt

i listened to "the tornado" by owl city for the first time today.... adam young literally never misses

#ace rambles #it's such a poignant metaphor for struggling with mental illness and i have no idea if that was intentional but regardless #i will be looping this until i have wrung every drop of dopamine out of it #owl city #the tornado #coco moon #literally though you have not lived life until you hear this man SCREAM out ''THIS WAS MY PRAYER. SAVE ME FROM THIS TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE'' #it is life changing

i know i need to shut up abt it esp bc i don’t know for sure if i actually got exposed to covid but like. it’s just so fucking frustrating and terrifying. not just in the case of covid but with other things too like driving. you can take every precaution to keep yourself and the people around you safe but all it takes is one selfish careless asshole who can negate that in a heartbeat and ruin your life or maybe even end it in some circumstances. lol

#purrs #ask to tag #complete and utter despair about it all. i feel like such a freak for telling everyone to be safe and be careful all the time but this world #is so fucking scary and we are so fucking helpless. how can i not cast out this desperate fucking plea. this prayer. that harm will not #befall you even if it’s something as small as a drive to the store or a trip to a new place. i just live in fear of the people i love #getting hurt all the time and of myself getting hurt. and covid is fucking scary because we still don’t fuckng know how bad it is really or #what it can do to you in the long term and there’s no way to know if you have it until you find out you have it bc this fucking nightmare #country gutted all the covid infrastructure so it’s like. it’s just really bad. im so scared. ive been so proud of myself lately bc i feel l #like even though im still not doing great ive been less miserable and anxious like a couple months ago i was having breakdowns almost daily #and i feel like ive been getting better and this just has thrown me so bad. there are other things going on too ofc so i know im reacting #really strong but like. throwback to all the asks i just answered where anons were like idk how you even function witb the amount of anxiety #you carry with you all the time and i was reading that like but not anymore! and it turns out… no it’s still there. it just was summer and #i interacted with fewer people and went almost nowhere. and now the semester is starting again and everything is changing and it’s just. bad #also addendum to the first part of my tags: i wish i was brave enough to ask ppl to like. text me when they get to their destination safe or #whatever. i almost never think of it bc it just seems like such a forward boundary crossing thing to do + it was a bad habit from when my #separation anxiety was MUCH worse as a kid. but like… i want o do it and sometimes i need to but i repress it so hard. lawl #also to say i love you sometimes. some ppl it’s really easy and we do it all the time. others i can’t bc it crosses boundaries and it #physically hurts not to. lolll

I Need Help

When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬ ‭ None of us want to be helpless. Other words that define helplessness are incapable, vulnerable, defenseless, or weak (to name a few). Which of those descriptive words would you like to be known for? Which of those words would you want on your epitaph? “Here lies ‘xxx’, He was incapable…

No matter how big, or small, the Lord is always listening to your prayers!

As I’m nearing the end of pregnancy, I’d found myself tossing and turning a lot the past few nights. Some nights not sleeping at all 😅

Personally, I know it comes with the territory, so it wasn’t the end of the world. I did notice, however, how it was effecting my homemaking.

So in the middle of random conversations I was having with my husband last night, I prayed to God that He give me peace and rest so that I can wake up before 3 in the afternoon, and have the strength and energy to enjoy more of my day.

We went right back to talking about other things like I hadn’t just done that 🤣

But God, I fell asleep last night at about 3 am, & woke up this morning at 11 am (that’s a *major* accomplishment for pregnant me 💀)

I’m writing about this as I make our grocery list to tell you that He absolutely listens.

So just pray. Even when it feels silly or excessive 🤍

Pray for me as I really consider some major changes in my life and try to discern where God is calling me.

#prayer request #nothing as big as a change in vocation #but I am seriously considering moving quite far from the area I've lived my entire life

haha I'm not normally one to do this on tumblr but certain things have gotten rather dire and I would appreciate any and all prayers for my family, specifically my younger sister.

#ramblings of an arrow #don't worry she's physically unharmed and okay #things with my parents have just gotten STUPID BAD APPARENTLY #like I knew they weren't the world's best parents but I didn't think it was gonna get this bad #anyways here's hoping that I don't have to help my 15 year old sister get emancipated and then move across the country to live with me #but I WILL IF I HAVE TO #ugh I am UPSET #gonna try to have a CONVERSATION with them later and either they'll listen to me and make some major changes #or things will get exponentially worse because how dare I try to tell them how to parent #SO WE WILL SEE #prayers appreciated #also b/c my sister doesn't have a phone and my only way of communicating with her is if she borrows my mom's phone #so if drastic measures *are* necessary then it'll be rather difficult to coordinate with her #because my parents don't really let her have privacy which isn't Good.

I won't believe anyone is pro-life until life continues past elementary school

#im so angry #we need policy changes not thoughts and prayers #i am disgusted by every single person who protests abortion and upholds gun rights #fuck you all #stop school shootings #stop mass shootings #stop domestic terrorists #stop these white men from taking more lives

#ppl always look at me shocked and crazy when i say my ultimate goal is to live abroad #and i never understood why because literally look at the shitshow we live in #gun violence. racism (yes i know it exists everywhere). old hags making choices for women and their bodies. like the list is too long #like why would I want to continue to live somewhere like that #and I for damn sure and not having kids and raising them in the country either #hell no omg. the fact that i could send my child to school at any age and not know whether that’ll be the last time i see them…. #THAT MAKES ME SO SICK TO MY STOMACH #and I would hope and pray that some change happens by the time i have children #like no. I’ve seen enough and i will live here for as long i can but the moment a golden opportunity pops up i am definitely getting out of #here like what. #hell im giving this country like three more years and im dipping #living in this country is so scary and it’s scarier when the people in power are sending out thoughts and prayers… fucking do something #like why are people so protective over something so dangerous #why are they valuing it more than human lives #19 babies. nineteen babies. if something doesn’t change then……. this country is a lost cause x1000
