#and ruin all my books

[trying414]

Holy shit I just remembered I don't have school on Monday and that is SUCH a relief 😭😭😭

#why do i procrastinate so much #homework for days #wouldnt be as bad if the ratdog didnt piss on my bag #and ruin all my books #so now i need to redo everything #not because my teachers want me to #but because i need to remember this shit and it will trigger me if i dont #sometimes i hate that i do this to myself #it will all pay off eventually #but right now #its torture

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.

And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.

And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.

And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?

Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.

Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.

#humans are space orcs #humans in space #earth is a deathworld #earth is space australia #tagging this so that ppl can find it even though the space shit i write about always feels like its in direct opposition to all the pop tag #also my biggest pet peeve in all of writing - all writing. everywhere. not just in fanfic but books and tv and movies too - is when people #write off an injury by saying something like 'oh nothing bad just a couple of scratches some bruising and a minor concussion' like girl WHA #MiNOr ConCuSSioN is such an oxymoron and I hate it so fucking much. like i dont care how minor it was thats still brain damage. #especially when the same character does this more than once. like im sorry ms. but uh. you can no longer read. or talk eloquently. sorry #evidence: my brother has had two 'minor' concussions and now cannot read write or speak without tremendous effort. And like its totally #ruined my ability to watch action shows/movies because now i just sit there and count how many concussions there characters are getting #after a certain point it becomes totally impossible to believe that these guys are able to function. (still fun to watch tho im not a hater

They created a strange tableau: rabid boy, trapped girl, bombed-out building. It suggested a tale that could only end in tragedy. Star-crossed lovers meeting their fate. A revenge story turned in on itself. A war saga that took no prisoners.

Okay I understand where people are coming from with the "emotional suppression in Vulcans is learned not genetic" talk re: "Charades" but, consider......... the emotional suppression is muscle memory, and the aliens took away the mental muscles that remembered how to do it. It's a crude metaphor on my part, but that was the way I saw it.

Also consider: it's a sci fi show using extremely high-concept bullcrap science on a weekly basis and maybe nitpicking it is a fruitless endeavor because none of it is going to make sense otherwise and enjoying the ride for what it is is a much more enjoyable way to engage with this franchise. Sometimes you need to shrug and let dumb things happen and laugh.

#i am so sick of whatching people find itty bitty things to pick SNW apart over #I'm trying really hard not to get internet preachy about it because everyone it entitled to their own opinions #but some people really beed to calm down and stop taking everything so seriously #Star Trek has NEVER had completely accurate science #or consistent rules within it's own universe #I mean look at Threshold #that is 1000% Not How Evolution Works #like at all #but we all laugh it off and throw a party about it every year #or how about the fact that Miles O Brien was a Leiutenant #and then he was suddenly an enlisted man #I could go on #but the point is that if you get caught up in the trees you'll miss the forest #and also a bundle of laughs because that was a very funny episode #was it perfect? of course not #but I am not gonna let the flaws ruin the whole thing for me #I had fun and laughed and smiled and that's all that really matters in my book #Strange New Worlds #snw spoilers #I'm really hesitant to tag this because I don't want people coming for my head lol #but alas I need to make sure people who haven't watched the episode can block spoilers

My former roommate has these horrible top heavy water glasses that I kept knocking over - I think I spilled water all over my sewing table or nightstand at least 5 or 6 times a year while living there. I didn't have any water glasses of my own, so when I moved out I had a think and got a couple of thick bottomed glass beer mugs from the thrift store. Much harder to knock over! It's only been a few weeks, but hopefully I can go a whole year without any such disasters.

#I've been very lucky in that no serious amount of water ever landed on my projects or my computer #I did get a book very wrinkly though #and once I spilled a full glass of iced tea all over the table and it ran down the wall and it was awful #nothing got ruined but ugh it was so much to clean up #dishes #too many beer mugs have company logos on them but I found ones with nice little sailing ships #I also had to buy my roommate two replacement glasses last year cause I broke two of them

has mr fires seen a cow up close I wonder? it should gaze into the big beautiful brown eyes of a cow and maybe then it'll calm down

#fallen london #flmp #light fingers #mp #mr fires is an anti union jackass but I'm tickled that it lit mr wines books on fire because that asshole still owes me money #also liked the flesh mask it mailed me #I can't believe that after all this my damned diamond was downgraded #and that mr fires master plan involving horrors beyond human comprehension and uhh whatever the fuck moon milk is #was so it could be petty and ruin the other masters' plans and get to keep living the capitalist dream and union busting #actually no I do believe that part

imagine being neil josten and letting your cigarette burn down to the filter without taking a drag. imagine not wanting the nicotine; just wanting the acrid smoke that reminds you of your mother. imagine if you inhale slowly enough, you can to almost taste the ghost of gasoline and fire.

#this is me announcing my 5th aftg re-read to the general public #this book has ruined me i genuinely can’t enjoy any other books #i’m literally in the middle of the new solangelo book #aftg #neil josten #all for the game #andrew minyard #aftg shitpost

arthurian adaptations fail the orkney brothers time and again. gawain is either virtuous or irredeemably sinful there’s never an in between which is where he belongs. he and agravaine are never the foils they should be and neither are nuanced characters at the same time. agravaine is given the murder of morgause which is missing the whole point of his character and that of gaheris. meanwhile…gaheris…exists. he should be gawain’s shadow and the most irritating person to agravaine in the universe. gareth is usually okay but his relationship with his brothers and lancelot needs to be strained to the breaking point, and I also think he should be on good terms with kay instead of framing him entirely antagonistic. mordred needs to be agravaine’s little buddy. it’s one of the best parts of the vulgate and some stories include it but they manipulate each other and that’s the wrong approach. they can’t know what they have is messed up, they don’t see it, they’re just hanging out and people die around them. none of the bros abuse their wives. i cannot stress this enough. non-negotiable. in fact their wives love them all dearly. an acquired taste. if you know you know. thank you.

#not accepting criticism #i’ve read many many adaptations #someday i will write out which books had the best of them #i liked Persia Woolley’s gawain he was balanced #lavinia collins has the best agravaine hands down no contest he’s perfect #i like gerald morris’s gaheris bc he pairs well with lynette which is hard to pull off #I liked cherith baldry’s gareth the best bc his relationship with lynors kay lancelot gawain all very deep #mordred…..haven’t found a mordred i super like tbh #he is okay in several things but none of them were great #aspects are good then he’ll do something i really hate & ruin it a little #some day i’ll find him……. #my post

friendly reminder that much like with bullet journaling, your grimoire/bos doesn't need to look pristine/popularly aesthetic! it's a part of you and records your path in whichever way you choose, be it simple, straight-forward or embellished! ✨

#witchcraft #witchblr #witches of tumblr #book of shadows #bos #grimoire #witch #here's to all my messy witches; i love the look of a messy grimoire #pages with notes between lines and few decorations #but those gorgeous colourful ones are lovely as well! #if you catch yourself not writing in your grimoire for fear of #ruining the aesthetic: DON'T!! #just do it!!
