#and 60s stuff in general

[spotsupstuff]

Imagine if tarrows forgot shes not a slugcat, and absent mindedly tried to store a pearl in her stomach for safekeeping and nearly choking.

the only time i can imagine it happening is before Sparrows would leave the Void Pools cuz otherwise she has that fuckin.. rebreather mask constantly on. it would tunk against that before it'd get the chance to get into her mouth. so here's some ouchies

#spot says stuff #rw #oc tag #how the shit do i tag her physical state. #// starvation // #???? feckin..... #ask to tag #// nudity // #// choking // #tarrows' body is around the same age as when she fights off euros' 1st rot (so around 60) but Shit girl looks like 100 here #it feels weird drawin her not buff but... this is in general how she looks in this au. she wont ever manage to regain that muscle mass #TO BE CLEAR REAL QUICK: its not actually like. tinkerers spirit pullin up or anythin its more like a slugcat mindset/instincts vs an- #-ancient's santient thinking. two modes of existing goin against each other. n since sparrows is so terribly on it the slugcat wins

To socialise or not to socialise, that is the question.

#Looked at two places I could move out to & they are complete opposite vibes in terms of socialableness #Both have roommates ofc but one gives me a lot more of my own space & it seems like I would barely have to interact with them at all #So I'd be left pretty much completely alone. Which is usually the dream #And ngl knowing the other people there would keep to themselves & have no interest in knowing me is especially relieving #Given the whole thing that pushed me to move out in the first place #The other has extremely small & cozy vibes. Owner's stuff all over the place #By cozy I do mean cluttered #The girl I met with there (not the person I'd be renting from) gave me a tour for five-ten mins #And then the next 30 mins-60 mins we spent chatting over tea #Someone more sociable than me might call it instant bestie vibes #Which. Has been something I've kind of very much been missing/yearning for irl I will admit #& from the sound of it the person subletting has the same vibes with her #She says he's 'interesting' and 'I'd like him' #From the combination of her description and the clutter I'm getting eccentric professor vibes #Which is generally a good vibe to me #But I am even more skittish of renting from someone t #Too sociable #After prev landlord #Though I want to trust othet tenant's vibe check. Because it might actually be very nice to have some kind of real life friends #It's also a very different kind of sociable than prev landlord #She was 'chatty and gets you to open up easily' sociable & it sounds like the other guy will be approximately the same #& also 'repeatedly assures you can ask her to stop if she's being too much' sociable. Which is always a relief #Meanwhile prev landlord was 'wants to know why you're not relaxed & tells you you should be without doing anything to help you be' sociable #'gets very pushy about finding time to talk/hang out' sociable #'teases you for being awkward' sociable #None of which were the real issue with him of course. But they didn't help & I can't help but see them as red flags in retrospect #I'm currently leaning towards 'to socialise' because it was a very cosy vibe & I do feel starved of irl friendship just a bit #But it could either be very good or very bad #& I don't want to risk very bad again #Anyway. This has been missives from a pizza shop I ducked into to charge my phone before I go back to being lost in a snowstorm

re: jean and scott as two people seeking and having meticulous control. it’s worth noting that, like scott, jean largely seeks out precision and narrow focus when she is training her mutation. the huge, destructive, heavy stuff? she can do that easy. it’s careful reassembly, needlepoint, and focusing on one persons mind at a time that gives her trouble.

#i just think they’re neat #w.me #the needlepoint is like. ok we get it she’s a girl in the 60s #but also yk. using her tk to do stitches? to move a needle #to carefully reassemble parts? that’s hard. lifting an ocean liner? baby that’s whatever #i am combining. different canons in that specific example but yk. i think this is generally shown in jean stuff that focuses on her as a #younger kid

literally what are gen z’s youth subcultures

#like I’m talking specific to gen z #so you can’t count furries or cosplayers because that’s a multigenerational thing #the alt/egirl thing is a fashion trend from tiktok #the dark academia thing was a sham LMAO it wasn’t anything #i may be missing stuff that isn’t really visible to the public BUT #the youth cultures of previous generations were visible like people knew what mod was in the 60s

little life update/rant below :)

i feel like i've been so inactive lately which makes me big sad, but when i say i have not had the time, i'm being so serious. yesterday i literally woke up, went into work an hour early, stayed after for almost 2 hours, went home, made dinner, and immediately sat down to work on a grad school assignment and then had to work for another hour before i went to bed. then i woke up this morning and did it all again. it just feels like that's how my days look more and more recently, and it's been really hard tbh. it's demoralizing and just sad to work all day and still wake up the next day wishing i had done more, still with a mile long to do list, and knowing that it's just going to keep being this way for at least the next couple weeks.

anyways all of this is to say that i'm just both really grateful for and sorry to all my mutuals who have continued to tag me in things and stuff in the past couple weeks :) it may sound weird or dumb, but if i'm being honest i have SERIOUS fandom fomo right now, and, even though i haven't really had time recently, it's been nice to not feel like lost in the shuffle or forgotten (i told u it was going to sound weird).

being on tumblr/in fandom has truly been the most incredible escape and been such a stress relief and source of happiness for me. i'm still very much here, just lurking and liking more because i'm conserving brain bandwidth as much as possible during the week!!!!

#to get more personal in the tags i started going to therapy #i've never had good experiences in the past #but it's going really well so far #and i'm proud of myself for making the time even when i've been so busy #i've also stayed consistent w my gym schedule which is so important for my mental and physical health #so like. i am doing things other than working #but i just don't have as much time to do little fun things rn #also in case anyone cared the reason i'm so busy at work is because on top of just having a busy job generally #i'm also a glutton for pain and i run our student government #and homecoming is next week #and it's just..........so much stuff to do #so many emails to send so much to coordinate so many people to please #but it's almost over! #just have to make it through a 60 hour work week next week and i'll be fine #ALSO i keep forgetting it's my birthday next week #will lowkey be the worst birthday of my life but oh well 26 is a lame birthday anyway #personal

i really hope we dont end up in a situation where sonic x shadow generations sucks ass and isnt worth buying over the original if you dont care about the shadow stuff but you cant make that choice because they removed all official ways of buying the original in an attempt to force you to spend 60 dollars on it . that would be really annoying

#i wouldnt put it past sega they took all the classic games off steam to make people buy sonic origins.. #also the remaster costing more than the original WOULD make sense in this case since its adding more content #but i hope it doesnt cost 60 dollars . the shadow stuff looks cool #but i dont wanna spend 60 dollars on a pointless remaster of a game i already have. just for shadow #didnt colors ultimate cost 40. i hope it costs 40 at most #but idk. sega seems to be going down the route of charging 60 dollars for everything regardless of if its worth that much #i think it would be cool if they released the shadow stuff as a dlc you can buy if you already have generations #but idk if they would do that. so just keeping the original as an option still would be good enough

listening to hermans hermits again

#when ppl ask my fave era of music its like. well what do you mean #because i mostly listen to stuff from the nineties. but if you’re talking about the general mainstream pop of the time? 60s 100% #i was an obsessive monkees fan as a kid lmao. still kinda am #but ‘cant you hear my heartbeat’ by hermans hermits is kinda a perfect song

the best reminder that LOST is a masterpiece is to watch any other drama series

#i dunk on lost and it's problems #with love AND frustration #and it can easy to forget how amazing it is if you compare it to itself #watch literally any other multi season drama with an ensemble and its like wow #yeah lost is one of Best Things In Television #and like i'm not even insulting every other drama. obviously there are ones that are good. what i mean is lost is so fucking good #also ya gotta love that 2004+ era of tv where a bunch of these shows were trying their best to have that lost flavour #suddenly a billion of dramas with 20 main characters with trauma and connections happened. twists! twists everywhere! #and suddenly flashback narratives became like 60% more popular #good stuff #i can't even think of an example because its just what television in general has become #that its easy to forget that serialized storytelling weren't always the norm #episodic was the typical way to tell stories in the 90s #thats part of why star trek deep space nine was so unpopular back then but has gotten new life in the modern world #twas a head of its time really

if the dub of the [redacted] anime had localised the names too—

#this is the single worst thing i’ve ever made and i’m counting my early dai edits— #koichiro’s name was originally ‘kokonut’ but i decided against it bc y o l o #i have reasons for all of these i swear!!!!!!! #but hiyoko’s is hermione bc it contains all the letters of ‘heroine’ and nagisa’s is ‘naomi’ bc it’s a girly enough gender neutral name lol #kuro is cheshire bc c’mon y’all know dubs like to screw around with names to make localised jokes and stuff— #as for ​the fake localised ver of ‘chuutan’… i couldn’t decide between the obvious option of ‘cherry’ and the not-so obvious ‘tulip’ #‘cherry’ bc of the ‘ch’. ‘tulip’ bc… yk… ‘kiSS ME CHUCHUCHUCHU CHULIP (tulip)’— #man i haven’t thought about imascg in y e a r s. tulip slapped real hard though. as did love destiny. but e h this post isn’t about them— #90% of the last names came from an online generator… and so did 60% of the first names tbh #and y e s i made this for my self-amusement how did you guess~? ☆〜（ゝ。∂） #染BODY ONCE TOLD ME— #shibakentucky fried chicken #ko’dai’ly shitpost of the day #misc. saltaro saltppenings #fedora throttle4 #the dude from gamushara #‘dai’ly shitpost of the day

brain fog is literally the worst

#esp bc i cant tell if this is regular adhd stuff or brain fog #or just. my lack of confidence in general ig. im trying to start writing again but its really difficult #its hard to get started and then its hard to think of how to progress the sentence in normal ways #and then i feel bad about what im putting down which sucks cause like. this is for class slkdfsdfd #and i know its stupid to think this like it will not matter and no sane person is actually gonna tell me this and say im a bad person #but its a historical fiction story set around the 60s abt post wwii homophobia and the homophile movement and the stonewall riots #and the intent is to analyze the politics of the times and how gay people were restricted and how it was all motivated by anti communism #but there is a little voice in my head going. ''ppl online are gonna find out you wrote this and accuse you of writing stonewall fanfiction #and make you the new laughingstock of the internet for it and make memes abt how stupid and bankrupt you are'' #which is STUPID for several reasons and i shouldnt let it make me anywhere near this insecure #but idk. im internet poisoned man i get insecure over the dumbest things now #dl

I love reading the studies on potential existence beyond or outside of the body. I hate how much some of those books drone on before getting to the point.

#rant #1 hit me up if you want book names #2 i read one about research on existence after death. but a philosopher wrote it :/ #so despite mentionung studies he just ranted about his philosphical proof. which fine... convince another philosopher i guess :/ #but as a philosophical arguement i found it Annoying and not as useful to me the reader as a #more scientist structured discussion of the research would have been. #meanwhile theres some great books featuring equations. so Mathematical proofs for a concious universe #but 1 book spends 400 pages on experiments (cool but i wouldve liked math FIRST) then 100 pages of math and explanation #another book has math only and its 90 pages and probably my favorite theory on how the universe works #then theres an overview of experiements book. in soviet union #but its from an american tourist writer :/ so at least 60% of the text is stupid tourist Description bullshit #i dont want an Exagerated journal of adventures bitch. i want to hear what the research and outcomes and equations and evidence is!!!! #and youtube lectures? a lot of good ones on ted talks and some university youtube lectures #but theyre for general audiences so they often avoid mentioning the math (since the audience wouldnt necessarily Get the mathematical theory #) which annoys me because I WANT TO SEE THEIR MATHEMATICAL THEORY #i want them to SPECIFY WHICH OF THE BOOKS THEY WROTE IS MATHEMATICAL OR PHYSICS HEAVY IN DESCRIBING THIS STUFF #i can read physics. let me!!!! let me look at ur fucking theory so i can form a better opinion on it!!!

been thinking about how depending on race and how old tav is when they're abducted astarion will have been able to spend more time with them than he did with cazador by like a lot in some cases and i feel unwell... i think i hauve covid

#something about more happy memories than bad ones....OUGH #this was originally about just elves bc i knew they were the longest but gnomes and dwarves also live long upon looking it up #most of my tavs are young and that seems to be the case in general #so like they could have centuries left with him... elves especially and drow can get up to 1000 years old... #i think druids tend to have longer lifespans too idr where i saw that but it was when i was figuring stuff out for kaya's backstory #zara's def under 100 maybe like 50-60 so they have so much time together... like 4x the amount of time he was trapped for... #lilith is older but still young somewhere in mid-late 100s leaning later so like 3x the amount #im clawing paint off the walls and shredding the drywall #.txt

I’m reading Persistance: All Ways Butch And Femme and lemme tell you it’s doing wonders for everything -- feelings about gender, politics, language, relationships 

every time I think I’ve come at some unknowable concept about myself that nobody could possibly understand and I’m totally alone (or at the very least I’m something new and fragile), reading about other queers makes me understand that actually it’s existed possibly forever and I can calm tf down and stop being so angsty, it’s not fragile at all, it’s years of others living these things into reality!

anyway, us lonelies under 30 (and over 30 too quite probably) who think we’ve reinvented the wheel and nobody could possibly get it, we need to read this sort of stuff to get out of our own heads and to respect where we came from and maybe all the fucking discourse can chill out and we won’t be so afraid of changes and concepts that already exist and have done for a lot of years!

#persistance: all ways butch and femme #queer stuff #queer theory #queer lit #lesbian lit #me like: im overcomplicating it ive gone too far im a fraud #a dyke who came of-age in the 60s: anyway these fag genderqueers i met in the 90s love em couldnt do without em great stuff #also rae spoon i owe you everything #and this discussion i just read in it i need to get their names #about femme through the eyes of masculinity STOP IVE BEEN FEELING THAT WAY (dont stop ofc) #and the new spectrum bit???? wtfwtfwtf i feel like im being inundated with The Lore and im some starry eyed apprentice #whenever i forget i can be like -- is my icon a claude cahun homage for NOTHING?! #it's about context building! it's about history! it's about thinking those threads were spindly but they're strong as anchors or smthin #fuckit im just amazed i cannot properly articulate how amazed i am #ALSO look im not a lesbian/i never came to transness through lesbianism like a lot of my peers (only briefly and it amounted to one bar) #my point being that if you think you can't relate to that title because you think you didn't get to experience that lens #1. read the lesbians generally because they're good for you #2. trust me this book opens some fucking doors (doors I'd been worried were me going too far/werent allowed) #recommend this to all the queers and non-queers alike boys and girls and people who think they're unfathomable #you will be uh... fathomed... as it were #(or not but it's still vital)
