#and OUR livingroom

[chaoticornot]

I noticed something in S10e16, besides the fact that this is an amazing episode, at the end of the episode where they are all at Steve’s house to surprise Danny with movie night. Because Steve was worried about Danny even though he said otherwise. What I noticed is that when they are snuggling on the couch, Steve has his arms around Danny and Brooke because there is no space, but Danny also doesn’t have space with his arms. He could put his arm around Tani, but he doesn't. So the only other solution is that he has to lean more on Steve. And that made me think about Danny falling asleep halfway through the movie and falling on top of Steve’s chest while Steve tightens his arm around Danny and looks adoringly at him. Then at the end of the movie, when he doesn’t want to wake up Danny and kind of awkwardly looks at the team as they clean up for him, and then he slowly slides out from under Danny to see everyone out and then tucks Danny in properly, and that is so cutee. Also, could you imagine Danny waking up the next morning all confused because he doesn't remember falling asleep, but he doesn't ask Steve because he is embarrassed and partly because the team keeps teasing him about it, with good meaning. Could you imagine him meeting Brooke again after that at school, I wonder how that conversation would go, haha.

#also sunshineee #and OUR livingroom #like excuse me who gave you the permission to be so domestic #plus this whole episode just Steve blindly trusting Danny's intuition and gut #lovee #just fantastic #Danny Williams #Steve McGarrett #McDanno #s10e16 #Hawaii Five 0

we set up our air mattress in our livingroom to sleep on the past couple of nights to try for a change of pace (on top of the gaming, cartoons and movies). got our rainbow comforter thrown over it for padding, got our favorite blankets, and plenty of plushies for comfort

it's been helping us steady out

Song of the Day: December 7

"Wolverine" by Goghi

#song of the day #beautiful beautiful song very very fun to sing. about loving nature and wanting to bite people! ideal. pristine. #every line is the best line but the whole chorus is really something special #'I am the wolverine / get close I show my teeth and / no love for my own / I walk my path alone and #I am the submarine / deep hunter of the seas and / I sink enemies / making widows in the open ocean' #there's a little fuck I never know what that's called. what's it called #a little ripple-run in the melody on 'making widows in the open ocean' that brings such incredible joy. amazing song to sing #also--this has nothing to do with the song--I am so hungry #Nick has his friends over (which is good! not complaining about that. he did get permission and they're not rude or destructive so chill) #but our livingroom is now a minefield of people and beverages and popcorns I think that smell is popcorn #and to get to the kitchen I would have to pass through. step over all of them and walk between them and their videogames on the big screen #and I'm just not feeling it! #so we turn again to the grace and foresight of past-me and we reap the great pop-tart harvest #do y'all know how many boxes of poptarts there are under my bed? literally I do not know. I've just been getting interesting flavors #apple jacks. banana bread. snickerdoodle. apple fritter. eggo. cinnamon sugar pretzel. cinnamon roll. that's seven! #seven boxes of poptarts under my bed! I gave the boston creme pie and pumpkin pie ones to Nick bc they were gross but these are all good #I missed out on the vanilla latte and chocolate churro flavors sadly. they were before I started #(do you ever get halfway through a sentence and then you think: huh. my whole life to date and this is what I'm doing now. huh.) #anyway they were before I started collecting poptarts

I’m looking forwards to when lex, kane and I all have our own place because we have such like different clashing aesthetics but also there is an overlap to be had as well so it’s just gonna be so interesting to see how that all works out

#deity dialogue #if I have to like boil us each down to soemthing I like pink cutesy stuff a lot lex likes a lot of like horrory stuff and kane likes naturey #stuff and our overlap is: whimsigothic #we all like the other stuff as well though so it’ll work out #I can already imagine how vastly different everyone’s bedrooms are gonna look #and then we need to figure out decor for like actual rooms of the house #so far every time we discuss the livingroom it changes and I think we’ve currently loosely decided on ‘combine everything do fuck all’

[carmenpeach]

fuck heavily with those autistic birds that collect blue things for a nest its just like me collecting sonic stuff (blue) for my nest (house)

#realized i have no sonic stuff in our room cause i put it all out in livingroom and was to soren like baby can you print me an sa2 poster

Although it makes perfect logical sense--it still surprises me that you can buy this whole Victorian house from 1893 in Vinton, Iowa for a lot less than we bought a small condo in a slightly older Queen Anne house in metro Boston.

Vinton is a town of about 4k people and Benton County has half the number of inhabitants that my town does. Middlesex County, MA is 1.4 million people. We’re a major center for tech, medicine, universities, finance, and tourism.

The photos give me a distinct sense of the different places. I don’t know what other people will see.

first row: The Vinton House, haunted piano room, and map with closest city. second row: detail of our exterior, our living room (before we bought it), Boston map. 

#I can't share photos of our current livingroom #Our old IKEA furniture is too big and totally wrong for the room #we intend to buy new pieces but we bought an electric car last month #a sofa and some chairs will have to wait #even so David has his work space in there too #that's not so bad #the rest is depressing #so let's ignore it! #I am often delighted to think that the Revolutionary war started in my yard #not the shots in Lexington #the first battle #the red coats were routed #the more I look at these images the more I want to anthropomorphize the places and make it a love story #person from midwest grew up in haunted house meet someone from around here #one is an orderly laywer and the other is an artist a free spirit a creature of the moment #but which is which? #yeah I know I just descibed Dharma and Greg #not them #2 other imaginary people

"I wore a tanktop once" is such a funny way to talk about my friends deciding I was a handyman but that really was it??

I found the way to trick ppl into thinking you know what you're doing is:

1 - wear tanktop while helping friends with a household project

2 - adopt Dad Stance (hands on hips while surveying the situation. bonus points if thats what you've trained yourself to do instead of the Autistic T-Rex Arms)

3 - (optional) look up wikihow articles ahead of time because you're anxious worried about looking stupid.

if you know one (1) thing nobody else thinks of, you will be designated the Local Expert. depending on the project, anything adjacent to this will also be assumed to be in your wheelhouse.

#in fairness to my friends i thought it was common sense to remove outlet plates before painting #and i have replaced my dryer vent hood and bathroom faucet now #and replaced the light outside our garage door #(its still broken but thats beside the point) #OH and i did figure out how to pull up the carpet abd replace ot with floating vinyl in the livingroom #wait fuck i might actually be a decent handyman hold up #AND made our porch kind of cat safe?? #(we put up plastic chicken fencing so they couldnt jump without scaling the railing) #I also jerry rigged our bedroom's kickplate with a chunk of scrapwood when it refused to latch #im not counting that one too much though because it looks like ass and needs replacing still

[andromedasummer]

finally mustered up the courage and energy to clean my grody flat only for the vacuum cleaner to die halfway through cleaning the livingroom

#had to return it to my roommate to charge so i guess i'll do the rest tomorrow. #it took 20 minutes for me to vacuum up half of the worst of the stuff in the livingroom. i still had the kitchen. hallway. both bathrooms #and my own room to go #then after that i was supposed to mop the kitchen and then the two bathrooms #and then scrub the kitchen sink/counter and floor #and that was going to be the HALFWAY POINT OF CLEANING THE HOUSE OVERALL #we have to clear out the cupboards and figure out whats ours and what old tennants left behind #and split them into keep/donate/throw piles #and then also clean them because the previous tennants. wouldnt wash their dishes. or their hands. or clean. anything #im not joking. my current room had to be professionally cleaned before i moved in #because the girl who moved out left rubbish/old food/used sanitary equipment/multiple pieces of rotted furniture #and a rice cooker in the corner with rice so old it was black #genuinely the most vile kind of people #anyway after doing that dishes stuff we then have to go in and scrub/sanitize the cupboards #which are old and stained #so this way we can replace what needs to be replaced and have room to put appliances away when we aren't using them #then after that i can have a go at scouring both the bathrooms showers/sinks/toilets #and then after that treat some of the stains in the carpet lf a bunch of rooms #and i also want to look at deep cleaning our furniture (couch #/dusting bookcases/maybe getting more decorations for storage) #and THEN #FINALLY #i can talk to the landlord about being allowed to plant some native nz bushes tree and wildflowers because theres so much unused dirt #that coule really REALLY make this flat look a lot nicer from the outside #and be beneficial to the native birds that live in the sanctuary below us/local bee populations! #tw: unsanitary #< cos this house is.... insanely bad #oh fuck i need to clean the windows too actually

I was meeting a client at a famous museum’s lounge for lunch (fancy, I know) and had an hour to kill afterwards so I joined the first random docent tour I could find. The woman who took us around was a great-grandmother from the Bronx “back when that was nothing to brag about” and she was doing a talk on alternative mediums within art.

What I thought that meant: telling us about unique sculpture materials and paint mixtures.

What that actually meant: an 84yo woman gingerly holding a beautifully beaded and embroidered dress (apparently from Ukraine and at least 200 years old) and, with tears in her eyes, showing how each individual thread was spun by hand and weaved into place on a cottage floor loom, with bright blue silk embroidery thread and hand-blown beads intricately piercing the work of other labor for days upon days, as the labor of a dozen talented people came together to make something so beautiful for a village girl’s wedding day.

What it also meant: in 1948, a young girl lived in a cramped tenement-like third floor apartment in Manhattan, with a father who had just joined them after not having been allowed to escape through Poland with his pregnant wife nine years earlier. She sits in her father’s lap and watches with wide, quiet eyes as her mother’s deft hands fly across fabric with bright blue silk thread (echoing hands from over a century years earlier). Thread that her mother had salvaged from white embroidery scraps at the tailor’s shop where she worked and spent the last few days carefully dying in the kitchen sink and drying on the roof.

The dress is in the traditional Hungarian fashion and is folded across her mother’s lap: her mother doesn’t had a pattern, but she doesn’t need one to make her daughter’s dress for the fifth grade dance. The dress would end up differing significantly from the pure white, petticoated first communion dresses worn by her daughter’s majority-Catholic classmates, but the young girl would love it all the more for its uniqueness and bright blue thread.

And now, that same young girl (and maybe also the villager from 19th century Ukraine) stands in front of us, trying not to clutch the old fabric too hard as her voice shakes with the emotion of all the love and humanity that is poured into the labor of art. The village girl and the girl in the Bronx were very different people: different centuries, different religions, different ages, and different continents. But the love in the stitches and beads on their dresses was the same. And she tells us that when we look at the labor of art, we don’t just see the work to create that piece - we see the labor of our own creations and the creations of others for us, and the value in something so seemingly frivolous.

But, maybe more importantly, she says that we only admire this piece in a museum because it happened to survive the love of the wearer and those who owned it afterwards, but there have been quite literally billions of small, quiet works of art in billions of small, quiet homes all over the world, for millennia. That your grandmother’s quilt is used as a picnic blanket just as Van Gogh’s works hung in his poor friends’ hallways. That your father’s hand-painted model plane sets are displayed in your parents’ livingroom as Grecian vases are displayed in museums. That your older sister’s engineering drawings in a steady, fine-lined hand are akin to Da Vinci’s scribbles of flying machines.

I don’t think there’s any dramatic conclusions to be drawn from these thoughts - they’ve been echoed by thousands of other people across the centuries. However, if you ever feel bad for spending all of your time sewing, knitting, drawing, building lego sets, or whatever else - especially if you feel like you have to somehow monetize or show off your work online to justify your labor - please know that there’s an 84yo museum docent in the Bronx who would cry simply at the thought of you spending so much effort to quietly create something that’s beautiful to you.

#shut up e #long post #Saturday thoughts #this has been in my drafts for a week haha #also this is the heart of why AI art feels so wrong #forget the discussion of copyright and theft etc - even if models were only trained on public domain they would still feel very wrong #because they’re not art. art is the labor of creation #even commercial art and art commissioned by the popes and kings of history: there is humanity in the labor of it #unrelated: I did not know living in the Bronx was now something to brag about. How the fuck do y’all New Yorkers afford this city???
