Anybody else look at their room and feel like you’d rather burn it to the ground and start fresh than just clean it, and you let the piles get out of hand until you are so overwhelmed you have to clean it all or is that just me?

Why do I always have the urge and sudden motivation to clean my room at 11:30 PM when I have to get up early the next morning?

Big part of today involved thinning out our storage unit. Which is very much a spring cleaning endeavor. Which is also a cleaning the garage kinda thing. Which is absolutely a clean your room job.
And no kid... wants to clean their room.
When they could be doing soooooo many other things.
Especially on a sunny day. 😉
Now, we've always had a storage unit. From the very beginning when we married and moved in together into a condo. That first place had a storage unit in the building.
Later, when we moved north into a bigger apartment, we went in for a garage that was our de facto storage unit.
Then, when we bought our house, we went in on an actual storage unit that was not on or in or near our property.
Now, you may be wondering what need we had for a storage unit when we kept moving into larger spaces.
And that would be a valid concern.
The honest truth is... no matter the size of our living space, there always seemed to be leftovers that would fit some additional space.
Interestingly, a lot of the stuff in there predates our relationship. So we always kept that stuff off-site, as it were. It just made sense to do it that way.
And we wouldn't see that stuff for years.
I mean it. Years.
Which makes for wonderful discoveries over and over again every few years.
It's like archeology in there. Personal archeology. You go through boxes and crates and, somehow, I'm always pleasantly surprised by the things I find. Even though they're my things. And even though they've been my things for decades.
A great example of this are the Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica blueprints. It's like finding treasure every time I lay eyes on these. Like they're soooo cool. Like maybe they're worth some real money. Like I can't possibly sell them because they're blueprints for crying out loud.
From Star Wars.
From Battlestar Galactica.
X-wings. Vipers. Falcons. (Oh my).
Like I said... treasure.
I probably bought them when I was a kid. Bought them at Golden Age Collectibles under the Pike Place Market. And if not, then what's next likely is that I ordered them off the back page of Stsrlog Magazine.
Anyway.
It doesn't make tons of sense that we have a storage unit. But I do love the idea that each time we go out there is like inserting Christmas morning into our weekends.
😁😁😁

Hestia bust for @callisteios
During my research for this I realised she just doesn't get enough love. She doesn't even have enough myths, like, forget all the other gods, here's one I would really like to see someone make more stories about.

So, I've seen a few Severitus fics where Harry is given the new name of Hadrian for whatever reason (hiding his identity, he's going to be Lord Potter and Hadrian sounds more pureblood-y, whatever) and just nicknamed Harry. And I kind of want to write my own version of this, but instead of having Severus give Harry a formal name like Hadrian he chooses
Hartholomew.
Just to be dick about it.

I currently just feel so overwhelmed by cleaning
Does anyone have any ADHD cleaning tips?
Rant below
I have no clue on how to fix this but I'm sick of having no space and being treated by my parents like I'm a slob
You know even though they never bothered to teach me how to clean, how they clean is based on their dopamine "time to do this task now" and how I've never lived in a clean house my whole
I just feel so frustrated
Currently my brain thinks that if I get storage (because I do not, and it resulted in me just having shit everywhere)
I just feel so frustrated and it's keeping me awake and I just want to sleep and not think about this

visenya had a husband and a kid meaning she clearly had sex eith him she’s bi
i do not know how to tell you this but long ago like especially in the feudalism times (where the entire paradigm revolved around using women and their potential future children as social currency between families) but even still today women have not always had control over who they married and who they had sex with and whether or not they had kids. if you’re coerced into marriage with someone because it’s your “duty” and then you have their child out of political necessity does that 100% determine who you are forever. come on now

I'm not sure how many people pay attention to this, but Astarions tent area (inside and out) is not just blood splattered and mildly disorganized:
1) Dirty rags, blood and wine spills, rugs and pillows a bit haphazard, no proper bedding inside, empty blood bank jars everywhere, sleeps on a wooden palette rather than a bed roll
But the actual tent (yes I zoomed in and stared heavily at it shdjghfhdj)
It dirty.
It's SPLATTERED with dried mud and dirt, and I also noticed in comparison to his companions his tent is fairly small? And also kinda limp like he didn't wanna bother putting it up.
I bet this man hates putting together and tearing down camp SO MUCH that he just does the bare minimum and then trashes the place anyway. He's not going to voluntarily do laundry, he's not gonna clean the canvas, he's just here to put his shit together in some barely passable way.
And sure the exterior shows how he tries to decorate it in a way that's presentable, but he's decorating with dirty shit he won't scrub 😂
People, myself included to some degree, have chatted about why he is messy trauma wise but honestly I'm coming to the realization that he probably was, even in life, surrounded by servants to some degree.
He gives the air of being from money
I bet this little fool has never in his life had to wash his own clothes or clean a room. Even as a slave, when he was in Cazadors mansion he got trotted between the bunks where he only had minimal space to rest, (and a bunch of siblings he could probably manipulate into washing his socks for him if the servants didn't do it automatically ) and the Boudoir where he was to Look Pretty and Bend Over as requested
He never scrubbed floors in his life
Man's has never once cleaned a toilet
Astarion is living evidence that you can be severely neglected and abused while ALSO being 'spoiled' (in the sense that he never got to develop life skills bc the servants did it for him)
This really ties in with his personality and I think it's a nice touch. Cause what does he focus on keeping clean? HIM. He can do his hair, body washed, clothing IMPECCABLE. Man kept a shirt together for over a century without a single stain on it. But his SPACE ? His THINGS? neglected to the extreme
But yeah anyway, his tent is DIRTY and I'm pretty sure was originally a much more vibrant color too. Zoom in next time you get to camp you'll see what I mean
