#and sometimes I do

[landwriter]

i have never done one of them tumblr videos but winter is the prettiest season here and i wanted to share the extremely specific sight of snow drifting off conifers and being caught in the afternoon sun

my goal craft-wise as a burgeoning little words doer is to be able to describe something like this and do it justice

#about me #about the MOUNTAINS #and my TREES #it's a strange thing to be responsible to a forest you know #to be a guest in a place with towering old hems and doug firs and stately ponderosas #a forest studded with glacial erratics the size of my old apartment #resting on the breast of a mountain range older than rockies #it's a strange thing to be a lifeform that's the exception and not the rule after a lifetime of cities #and for all i miss city things #and sometimes i do #for all the downsides of rural living #i am so glad for this #it fills me with an awful sadness to think i might've gone my whole life never living in a place like this #never learning to be comfortable in the dark #never learning how to know a bit of land #but mostly #never learning to be as soft as this place has made me #as gentle and animal and wondering and content #whoever has read all these tags hi now you know where all my oaths shit comes from lmao #outside the cabin

I went to grab a snack but because I'm sleep deprived I forgot where I was up to in my number of simblrs I adore passing on thing😞 SO...

If I did manage to send the ask before my snack please know it says to pass it on but I'd like to remind you it's totally fine to not pass it on, or just ignore it completely.

If I follow you, whether I followed first or did a follow back, I ENJOY SEEING YOUR STUFF. Just wanted to make sure you know that 💖

#I would tag you all in everything #And sometimes I do #but I lost track of where I was #stupid cat at 6am #but she's a senior cat so she's forgiven

back to using the queue for a bit so if you see me like a post it's in there! ♡

#i know i don't have to announce this but it makes me feel better #but also worse bc i shouldn't feel guilty for just liking a post #sometimes i just don't have the capacity to rb lots of things #and sometimes i do #this is why i am so unbothered by people just hitting the like button on my post i genuinely am okay with it #(i could go on forEVER but i will spare you all) #(anyway time to play a lil fo4 before bed)

i know that you just have to accept yourself the way you are but i will always carry around deep shame from not being super into the works of and films/television inspired by j.r.r. tolkien

but like ........ i’m just not. i’ve tried. since i was like 12 years old i’ve been trying! i’m 35! can i accept this about me yet? can i rest??

#dollsome's deep thoughts #everyone around me: I LOVE TOLKIEN!!!!!!! #me: *twitches uncomfortably* #(there are various aspects of tolkien i have super enjoyed #i really like the novel the hobbit and i had fun learning about various bits of lore in a class i took in undergrad #he seems like an extremely interesting person #but overall i just ............... *shakes head*) #(i don't have the fangirl fire about it! i just have more of an intellectual appreciation) #it's so weird to not be into something that everybody is into #and rings of power is re-shaming me lolololol #i just want to scream 'I LIKE HOUSE OF THE DRAGON BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S A MESSY BENCH WHO LOVES DRAMA!!!!!' #and sometimes i do

Im a very “waste not want not” “1930s thrifty housewife” type of person but there is one thing I refuse to eat- the butt ends of bread

#I literally just throw them away #I could save them for bread crumbs or stuffing #and sometimes I do #but tbh I just hate them and don’t want to deal with them #when my husband was still around he ate them

[error404vnotfound]

that post about something something you have to reach out if you care something something it's hard for many people yes even for you but still you gotta make the effort something something??

hate that it is right

#i keep giving myself reminders to 'hey reach out to x friend it's been so long since you talked to them' #and sometimes i do #*still* fucking sucks having to be the one to do so because my spoons arent many and they are very tiny

YOU! You're the motherfucker who made like 90% of all my favourite Patho fanart! Thank you for your service, honest to God🙏

90 PERCENT ASDFGHJKLASDFGHJKL

90 percent is a lot for someone who's barely started Patho posting, because I have many, many more (terrible) ideas I need to inflict on this fandom

#I COULD be drawing well thought out dramatic illustrations #And sometimes I do #And yet..... #[Gestures wildly at my blog]

[aquar-io]

the  shitty  part  ab  queuing  replies  is  when  the  queue  gets  long...    like  i  have  it  set  up  until  september  5th  but  i  want  the  replies  out  NOW  but  also  i’m  so  sporadic  w  my  activity  that  i  want  consistent  content  and  AHHHHH

#like i wanna post right away #and sometimes i do #but also i like a queue #but also i have to wait TEN DAYS??? for this person to see my reply #hmph #JK ELEVEN???? #smh #out.

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.

#missed out on a whole year I could have skated at my local roller rink because I didn't want to go alone #and now it's closed and I won't ever get that year back. sometimes you gotta do it alone if you want to do something

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

I gotta say, one of the greatest achievements of my 20s was that I learned (mostly) to differentiate between:

"I truly do not want to go" and

"I'm just feeling the Demand Avoidance, and I will like it once I get there."

#I have learned in my 20s #sometimes I DO just gotta make myself go places even if I don't feel like it #I'll like it once I get there.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#i love reading your examples! however next person to be like um actually this exists?? it’s on sight #i know it exists. i think it’s fun. that’s why i think more people should do it. #sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul #and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd. #i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist! #something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content #idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently #mine

can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.

#ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #sometimes i can't even believe how much i myself have written. like i think i am not a writer. i am not doing enough. i do not write enough #and i look back and i have 34 (34!!) works on ao3 and reams of unpublished work on my computer and so long left to live. so i think #we will be okay. #writing
