a gentle reminder that water is always an option

do you ever get so much small-excited-stimy about warm milk, and get out all the stuff-- thermos, measuring cup, tasty sprinkley spices-- and you're thinking very hard about how exactly to microwave milk. and you open the fridge and reach for the milk.

and there is no milk!! not even a tiny little bit!! none!!! zero!!

a disaster. a terrible, awful time.

on a completely related note, in case you have found yourself in such a situation, alternatives to milk that are not milk:

• juice of all shapes sizes and flavors

• ol' reliable (water with water flavoring spritzed in)

• cocoa made with water!! and you can add some syrup(caramel, etc?) great for if you have some coffee flavoring lying around

• sleepy tea (but not awake tea)

there are almost certainly other things. sometimes when small stuff doesn't go the way we expect it to, it can be easy to get stuck. you might feel upset, and paralyzed. having a couple of other options available can help. knowing that there are other options can help. although alas. tis not the same. either way, sit with the big emotion, acknowledge it. and when you're ready, take a deep breath, and let it go.

this has been your not at all regularly scheduled many words, written because I discovered that I was out of milk. It was unfortunate.

Anyway, bye-bye! Remember that you're loved <3

Speaking of Mass Effect:

For context, the best friend was in theatre and is a very good mimic, so he'll imitate characters' voices only to parody them. He had a running commentary as Zaeed last game!

Anyway, between ME2 and starting ME3, we were talking about the Reapers and the extent to which they have personality. Sovereign actually speaking directly to Shepard gave us a pretty strong sense of them despite all the claims to being beyond our petty comprehension.

Best friend: Their thing is antipathy towards all younger species and exploitation of them. It's not as special as they seem to think.

Me: Yeah. The whole thing about how younger species don't deserve any credit for any work or research they do and their only function in the Reaper view of reality is the extent to which the Reapers can use or benefit from them just sounds like ... Republican Boomers, you know? I mean, they're more alien than that, of course, but—

Best friend: Oh my God. They ARE. [Switch to Sovereign Voice] We impose order. You exist because we allow it. You cannot begin to comprehend our motives. You are not a member of the homeowners' association.

#now we just read all quotes from actual republicans in his reaper voice. it's incredibly enriched my life :P #anghraine babbles #anghraine's gaming #us politics #the adventures of space redacted #i should probably have a bff tag

So…over the time of me disappearing randomly I’ve been saving a LOT of Love Live promo / collab pictures (mostly Niji and Liella but there’s some Aqours + Muse mixed in) so expect quite a lot of these chdjdj but either way these are CUTE like,,LUMF takes the crown of my favorite Nijigaku group costume and I love seeing LL girls in casual outfits so it’s a double win for me (also I’m pretty sure some of the ones in the second pic are from LL days but idk for sure)

#like i said #there WILL likely be a spam of these promo / collab images #kinda spaced out from each other #especially because there’s been a lot of promo / collab art lately #not that i’m complaining but it’s still a little wild #love live #love live! #nijigasaki high school idol club #nijigasaki school idol club #mars babbling

I feel like for the first time in a long time I know what I want to do in life :') I know things are going to get better! I'm letting old blooms die and finally getting ready to prune. When I changed majors, I uprooted and I can already tell I've moved to much more fertile soil. The people are kind and we connect. I feel reinvigorated. Like I was dead and now a new door is open! It's a new world. I'm giving this my best. I have a shit ton of work to do but I'm happy to

#growing is all I can do from here #giving up was always an option but I choose to keep going #crying because for the first time in a while i didn't wake up in a panic #i had a good dream and I'm feeling less bitter #thanks to my wonderful friends for giving me emotional support and protection from shit like literal starvation and homelessness #thank you for giving me the space to feel everything and grieve 🫂 #your understanding and compassion restored my lost sense of humanity #🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 i love you! i hope today is good to us both #babbling

It does not surprise me when I see a person on here whose interactions consist entirely of posting memes and being an absolutely insufferable dickhead.

What does surprise me is when otherwise reasonable and largely friendly people continue to interact with them.

#my babbling #Yes I have this person blocked and their name blacklisted just in case they show up anyway #Did I click on a blacklisted post out of morbid curiosity? Yes #Did I learn that this person's presence on tumblr continues to be an utter waste of server space? Also yes #Was it far more infuriating than it should reasonably have been? Also yes #Will I learn from this experience and stop clicking on blacklisted posts? Absolutely not #(well okay. Maybe. If I punish myself for it in my productivity app I guess that might work)

sorry for more aceposting but. maybe this is just me coming from the perspective of “autistic, asexual, and sex-repulsed”, but i really really don’t… understand why sex drives fan content as much as it does? whether it be “the overabundance of porn on ao3” or “seeing sexual violence injected into stories seemingly just to fill Obligatory Sex Quota Because This Is A Fanfiction And We Need To Have At Least One Sex Reference Or We Will Die” like… if characters have any kind of relationship it has to turn sexual, if there’s threat of violence it has to be sexual, and i just don’t… get it?

is this how people see the world and think of things? is sex genuinely that important to most people or do fandom people just tend to be really horny and want to inject it into everything? the overwhelming amount of sex stuff in fandom spaces just… confuses me more than anything - and i can give passes to people who just write smut because even if i don’t necessarily relate i get that people just wanna get their rocks off and write porn, and of course sex is a very big thing for people and it makes sense unmoderated storytelling will want to write about it but… the injection of it constantly into stories and making conflicts always About Sex In Some Way baffles me to no end. if characters engage in violence towards eachother expect a rape/non-con tag because that seems to be the only way some people can process conflict.

like, i don’t wanna sound like The Pretentious Ace Person Who Thinks They’re So Much Better Than The Horny Allosexuals™️ of course i understand that sex is important to people even if i personally Don’t Get It and i obviously don’t think i’m inherently superior or smarter or whatever than the average allo ficwriter, but like… why is sexual violence seemingly disproportionate in fanfiction compared to every other type of media. why is shipping considered the default state of fanfiction. why are most tags used on ao3 sexual in nature. why is sex so ingrained in fandom culture. why are most of the fandom glossary terms on sites like fanlore about kinks or smut tropes. Is This Weird To Anyone Else

it gets to the point where it feels almost alienating to participate in fandom as an ace person because i just don’t… understand? between the crazy amount of porn in fandom and the seeming constant of sex in fanfiction spaces (this post inspired by reading an in-universe political essay fic and finding a random graphic sexual violence reference in there???) it sometimes feels like the rest of fandom lives in a different world and will always prioritize something that’s completely meaningless and uncomfortable to me.

or maybe i just happen to find some strange Types Of Guys, idk

#babbles #ace is the place #asexuality #actually asexual #sa mention #rape mention #not to say this problem is inherent to fanfic spaces (<- watched a movie last night that was also unable to make anything not About Sex) #(which is a technically not wrong but really funny way to describe where the dead go to die) #but like idk point is treating sex as some important human constant is sooo weird to me. all my love and respect to sex havers out there #taking any form of character relationship and being like 'hmm what if they boned. this is integral to experiencing media to me' is so ??? #especially when it comes to completely innocent nonsexual source materials and topics it just BAFFLES me #like not to rag on the fic i was reading but there was a bit where it was describing the mistreatment a certain class of people faced #and it was all like standard cruelty and then just thrown in like nothing 'our sex organs are damaged from being used as sex slaves'??? #like uh... huh...?? am i being weird about this or is it strange to anyone else

Mass Effect 2 update:

We did Miranda's loyalty mission and in broad outline, I liked it quite a bit! She cares so much about her sister <3

It seemed all the better because it followed from a very tedious DLC mission that railroaded us into an atrocity. The objectification in Miranda's scenes/animation got even worse, though, and it's just ... incredibly obtrusive. Having another woman say she dresses like a whore (!!!!) does not make it better. But I really like how Oriana was handled.

I like pretty much the entire squad except Zaeed (maybe worse than Ashley? race to the bottom there) and sometimes Jacob (you're in Cerberus, back the fuck off from Thane). His loyalty mission, though. Whew.

We just boarded the Collector vessel, and I was sad about what seemed to have happened to the Protheans in ME1, but now I'm even sadder :(

#anghraine babbles #anghraine's gaming #the adventures of space redacted #miranda's old friend though - niket or whatever? betraying her because she saved her baby sister from their terrible father?? #fuck off forever dude #should have let her kill him t b h

[jewishvitya]

Just to make clear, because I had to block someone. I'm not here to debate the validity of trans people's identities. I won't argue with anons over the rights of a marginalized group to exist.

Especially not when you hang it all on how desirable a person is to you.

"I'm into men and he's not the kind of man I'd want to have sex with" isn't the same as "he's lying when he says he's a man."

Other people's identities aren't about how attractive they are to you. They aren't about you. You're irrelevant.

#riki babbles #I'm happy to answer questions that come from curiosity and a desire to understand and learn #Even if those questions sound disrespectful because I know some people don't know boundaries or terminology #And I like giving that space to learn #But that's not the same thing #The fight for our rights isn't the fight for a dating pool that caters to you #You don't get to police identities based on your specific experience of attraction

I’m cleaning out my closet and got completely sidetracked by a stack of my old journals. Because like --

I like journals.

As a kid, I liked having something on hand I could pull out in school to doodle and goof off without looking like it. What are they gonna do, get mad I’m writing in a notebook?

Now, I like the idea of having an older version of me preserved in pages so I can see how much I’ve changed and how much has stayed the same. How excited I got over my first experience with something that’s now routine. Wincing at how totally oblivious I was during a Clearly Very Bad mental health situation. Past hopes, past dreams, past music tastes, you know? Sometimes I put a nice leaf in the pages from past autumn.

At the same time, just because I want the record to exist doesn’t mean I want it to be here. In my closet. Taking up space and gathering dust. When something happens my first instinct isn’t to hunt around for a pen and paper, because that feels like a chore. Why do I have to record myself for future dissection? Can’t I just have experiences and accept the me I am now is fleeting?

But I also know how easy it is to rewrite a past you have no record of. Saying oh, it’s always been this way, when in fact you’re getting Bad again. I don’t want kid me to disappear, just like I don’t want to disappear someday when older me can only vaguely recall the mundane stress the 2020s.

But do I want to undertake the arduous ordeal of preserving me? Now? Today? Carrying the past to every new apartment and house and turning it into a personal history museum?

So basically my closet’s still gross and now I’m having an existential crisis

#babbling moth #actually writing this out has been helpful bc i think i will burn my journals #i don't think i really want them in my life yknow? i'm just worried someday i WILL want them #plus. sometimes journalling is just to get stuff out of your head and u have no desire to reread it #best thing to do with that bullshit is a ceremonial cleansing with fire #tbh i think i was being influenced by the whole. oh look at this historical figure's journals!! look at this grocery list from 1800! #yknow the idea that all old stuff is vitally important to preserve bc someday ppl need to know how we lived!!! #when archiving as a profession is very much. only keep a little. gotta throw away a lot bc there is SO much crap from the past #we literally cannot preserve everything. not enough space money manpower etc etc etc #even digitizing is limited bc digital storage space isn't free and also hardware goes out of date and stuff #and you need a plan for it!! paper decays and file formats get obsolete and you need to be actively preserving not just passively saving #(this is based on what archivist family members ansd classmates have told me btw im not personally an expert) #(i just think it's interesting) #anyway time to plan a bonfire

[fuwaprince]

I need everybody to leave the house so I can groan in agony for a little bit before school

#I'm actually looking forward to school BUT my body is in PAIN -___- #let me cry out like a cat trapped behind a locked door #it'll help with my pain tolerance #need a pain reliever so badddd I'm drooling from how bad #:(((( go to work already everybody grrrrrrrrrrrrrr #i need space to cry and i refuse to bother anybody by being heard #babbling
