Reading a new book, and every time a cultivator passes an ordeal, it rains. The way everyone—cultivators and regular civilians, alike—gathers to collect rainwater or let the rain soak through the clothes feels so victorious!

#moments of beauty in collectivity #i absolutely love this concept #and how the whole world seems to come together in these moments #it makes cultivation not an individualistic thing #cause everyone benefits #everyone celebrates! #yes i am recommending this book

I could use nice

My insomnia's been kicking my ass and I'm still getting over this virus and I have so much work to do on something I liked and the acceptance to rejection ratio is never in our favor long and--

I just need--

more

#personal #if you've got some you can give #i'm writing a somewhat traumatic though hopefully ultimately cathartic poetry collection right now #and i just want to be good enough #and there is so much beauty that's happening for me and in the dark moments i can't see it and i hate myself for that #and what happens if when i put a piece of my soul out in the world... people don't like it?

The way that the sun hits leaves and clouds. I feel like I could watch the colors change forever. If I could slow down for that long.

#i keep forgetting a have a deck now. i can go outside and sit there #im doing that now. sitting in the corner of a deck full of empty chairs. staring up at a big pine tree where the sun is striking it gold #at the top. i like how thr light hits the needles. if the sky was black it would look like its on fire #theres a tree outside my bedroom window too. in the morning. after the sunrises it catches thr light and refelcts the most perfect shade #of green. the kind of green that flutters translucent like youre looking up from the bottom of a pool. the light the light its all about #the sun. everything everything is about the sun. when i start my project I'll be focused on understanding how organisms catch the light bc #its so incredible and complicated it would make my chest swell to bursting if there wasnt an empty bleeding wound in my gut. a #metaphorical wound of course. i dunno. its just difficult bc right now my mood is inflated by hormones. not even that much i think I'm #just at what shoulf be a normal level of happiness so i can be slow for a minute. but just a minute bc i kno it won't last long #sorry i cant shut the fuck up when im like this but i dunno i just feel like i havr to document these ephemeral moments before they're gone #its just difficult when you kno the world is so full of beautiful things but 95% of the time your eyes are too clouded to see it #everyone tells me i work too much but i feel like im just staring off into space being miserable 60% of the time. ive just done so much #damage over the past few years im coming into a new lab as damaged goods. ive got an albatross around my neck in thr form of data i #collected so self destructively that the idea of having anything to do with its publication makes me hate myself. everytime someone tells #me good job on collecting so so so much data it feels like they're congratulating me for breaking something within myself. like i slit my #wrists and bled out on a lab bench and theyre saying good job and theyre excited for me and i have to grin and bear it and pretend im #excited too. but im not bc ive burned everything inside me to ash. so when im elevated enough to be distracted by the clouds and trees it #feels like healing. like seeing angels. beautiful ephemeral beams of light. i wish i could slow down enough to watch them. but now thr sun #is hitting the horizon and the sky is going gradually dark and i should go inside. bc i have many things to do in the morning. so that's #what ill do. and ill try to get more thsn 6hrs of sleep but its hard when your body is vibrating over with energy #but at least i dont feel tired in the morning. something in my head must be on fire #unrelated #hm i should maybe add a tw to this #tw self injury #but its the kind thst makes u good at ur Job. its the kind ppl reward. so they don't understand when u say its destroying ur life #but im trying to get better. i say as i gear up for an insane semester lol but i do mean it

Starting a little collection of times when Rose says/does something cute and silly and you can literally see the hearts coming out of Blanche and Dorothy

#was tempted to add dorothy entering the room behind rose in that first one bc her smile is just so precious <3 #but it works better like this overall i feel #the second one is technically cheating bc dorothy is happy about having sophia's box again. but i will count it because this is MY gifset #and i get to decide what goes in it <3 #blanche asking 'did you really know that rose?' in the third set is so precious to me <3 #as is dorothy saying 'welcome back sweetheart' in the fourth set <3 #and rose is always adorable ofc. her face when she rescues fernando is everything to me <3 just look at her!!! #fernando's subplot was sincerely top notch! one of my favourite b-plots!! it's simply too sweet #i still haven't figured out how to use the sharpen tool on photoshop :') so my primary goal for this set was missed i'm afraid #i did have fun choosing the moments and making them tho so i'm counting this as an overall success #and besides any time spent staring at these beautiful ladies is time well spent in my book #they <333 #the golden girls #golden wives #feel free to suggest any additions to this collection btw!! i'd love to have others

fuck work, i should be at the club (in my bed)

#marilia for ts #I'm so tired and kinda sick still #and i have Things to do #like figuring out xmas gifts and finishing a commission and doing one (1) thing for zukki week #a beautiful chance to join a collective moment of throuple propaganda is presented to me #but nooo i gotta be here peeling potatoes #let's hope that next time i open sai I'll start drawing sth useful instead of another even hotter version of zhu

I realize that Google did this by just recognizing a famous literary quote and pulling from a full translation (apparently the David Luke one) but it still kinda creeps me out. After all, you can translate the line nearly word for word into English, with the same syntax, and get a comprehensible and accurate result, so getting a machine translation that appears aware of the context is pretty jarring!

#faust #hot faust summer #stupid algorithm tricks #in fact i clicked the translate link specifically to see what google made of it #this post makes me sound better at german than i actually am #but basically: you can't get 'moment' from the literal words #you have to know the context #the literal meaning is basically 'stay a while for you are beautiful' #in goethe's faust the title character does not make a contract with mephistopheles but a wager for his soul: #mephistopheles can collect if faust ever experiences a moment that makes him say that #the resolution of this wager is the sort of thing you can argue about for centuries ofc

ok SO i went and got out Most of my knives (i remembered I have a nonbinary knife only after i took the photos & also idk where it is currently. just imagine all these plus a nonbinary flag knife ok? ok)

HERE ^ is the most of them, minus that nonbinary knife. look at that fuckin mess. 32 shown here (i think) plus my nonbinary knife makes 33 blades (minus cooking knives, i dont count those for these purposes)(also counting the swiss army knife as only 1 bc lol)

& some explanations for them! gonna put these under a readmore bc it got Kinda long on accident whoops. Read Ahead if u wanna see me nerd out about my knife collection.

STARTING WITH my big ones.

my spear (gifted to me), my cane sword (from anime convention), my shitty $20 sword (also from anime convention. low quality but cool as hell), my teal mini sword + matching throwing knives (from online), my decorative axe (from a local store), my twin blades (my sharpest blades, theyre actually kinda scary how sharp they are, but i love them bc of it. from online), red saber (from online),

ANDDDDDDDDDDDD my favorite hefty bitch of a machete that i sleep with in my bed frame on the very right (inherited from my grandpa bc i was the first one who spotted it at Family Claiming Day)(this thing really is as long as my leg & much heavier than Any of the rest of the blades pictured here. i love it)

another view of the blades so u can better see how long they are. the big boys. they're lovely. 2nd heaviest blade is the cane sword when it's in its cane, mostly bc that handle has some Heft. tbh id feel safer using it as a bludgeoning weapon than a stabbing weapon, but having a cane sword is just plain cool

AND my smaller blades!

i have a lot of pocket knives. starting from the top left: golden pocket knife (from online), rainbow dragon (from online), rainbow HEFTY boy (heaviest pocket knife, from online), spider knife (from online), stiletto jade (from online), pathetic army boy (from local store, this knife has NO redeeming qualities, but it's mine <3), black stiletto (from local store), plain dagger man (from online), my damascus steel knife (was a gift, probably my singular most expensive knife. fancy boy), Dull Dagger Man (first blade i ever bought, from anime convention)

& for bottom row: teeny black knife (first pocket knife i owned, gift from my dad), lil rainbow knife (from local store), plain steel knife (from sketchy shop in gatlinburg + one of my Favorite knives), green dragon knife (from online, a real beaut), triple throwing knives (also from same sketchy shop in gatlinburg), the baby throwing knives again from the Big Boys pic but i included them again bc they r so teeny tiny, my keychain key blade (from online), swiss army knife (from online), & the pair of claw keychain baldes (from online)

many blades, many stories, so little time. theyre great tho.

SOME FOCUSES:

^ these are all my spring-assisted knives, sorted from worst feel to best feel to open. based on quickness, ease, & general satisfaction. leftmost is leftmost bc i didnt even Know it was spring assisted, bc it doesnt have a nice lil tab on the back to press. no u gotta press on one of the rungs. but once u do it Does spring open, so i included it. next 3 are just Average in feel (these 3 are sibling blades anyways, nice of them to be together). jade stiletto is smooth and quick, nice to open. Hefty Boy rainbow has some THUNK to it when i open it. like that babey's got PURPOSE to it. added to the general size of it & it's just pretty great. AND THEN MY TWO FAVS, green dragon is a perfect beautiful knife & feels very great to open. and then Steel Sketchy Knife aka my 2nd pocket knife & first i bought for myself. it looks plain in comparison to the others, but she's anything But. quick, light, Sharp. it has the Best feel to open, bc it's just a fast SHHK. probably my knife that's seen the most use (aside from my small black knife) just bc of how great it feels to open. i love that knife so much for Real.

& the final highlight, somewhat related, are the knives I actually use the most in my daily life!

on the left are the knives I keep in my bag by default, & thus the ones I carry with me Everywhere i go. small black pocket knife bc she's Ol' Faithful, & a pretty lowkey knife for basic tasks when I dont wanna raise any eyebrows lol. silver knife bc as previously stated i Love using it so much. i take it out when i gotta breakdown a lot of boxes at work, & it Never disappoints. small rainbow keychain key knife bc it's cute & i like to keep it on my keychain. & swiss army knife bc Obviously im gonna keep the swiss army knife in my bag for if i need an emergency tool.

on the right are the three knives I keep out in my apartment. black stiletto lives on my bathroom counter, for bathroom knife needs. green stiletto i keep on my table next to where I hang out in my bedroom, for any couch time needs. & then green dragon beaut camps out on top of some shelves by my front door bc it's Great for opening boxes, aka something I will do for packages I receive after pulling them in the front door. it works for me.

all the rest of my knives live either in a box (for small ones) or my closet (for big ones). i may have a lot of knives, but somehow I never feel like i have enough. i just love collecting them so much <3

#speculation nation #knives #what this boils down to are. my favorites are: Big Hefty Machete that i managed to stab myself with on accident #by dropping it point-first on my finger (whoops) #a plain silver knife i got from a sketchy shop in gatlinburg (there really are so many there) that just feels SO good to use #a beautiful green dragon knife bc it's well balanced & feels great to open. also pretty. #black stiletto knife just bc i love how it feels in my hand. it's also very pointy #& small black knife bc she's ol' faithful. & great for using for average shit to not freak people out #(imagine if i brought ol' Hefty Rainbow out w/ its glass breaking base & wonderful hooked blade. ppl would give me Looks for sure) #i love many other knives but those r my favs #if i had to pick an ABSOLUTE fav it'd have to be my machete. it having drawn my blood did Not discourage me from loving it #it feels very uhh. idk it makes me feel secure having it nearby #if for nothing else than someone seeing me wield that & being like 'what the FUCK' bc it's kinda pretty intimidating lol. #long and heavy. wouldnt actually be great for combat bc that thin part between the blade & the hilt could snap the moment you hit bone #but good for me i never intend to use my blades for that! it feels comforting mostly as an intimidation factor. #the comfort being like. if someone broke in lol. that's why i sleep with it in my bed frame. so i can have it onhand Just In Case #aka it's like sleeping with a gun under my pillow except i just keep a massive fucking knife next to me instead. works for me #not the longest of my blades but it's the heaviest of my blades by far. i feel very lucky to own it. #anyways this has been the Knife Ramble by yours truly. this took me like 2 hours to gather & take pictures of & write this summary #APPRECIATE MY WORK at documenting my collection. this is the first time ive done this in several years. #wish i'd found that nonbinary knife first... oh well...

i just like.

#this isn’t a legitimate or normal representation of my feelings #three people i knew died this weekend #and i just like #realize i wasn’t particularly close to them #but the arbitrary agglomeration of it rn is just #i don’t fucking know #like life is so fleeting and so damn unfair #but it gives us so many beautiful moments too #and i don’t understand how those things can be collectively and simultaneously true #so i’m just like. #sobbing in my bedroom idk

im playing this silly dragoncave-like korean mobile game called Dragon Village Collection that just had an EN translation. i cant find a guide or whatever for nuts. have a Swamp Dragon because the 'picture board' (a forum) is always empty

#the machine translation fkn sucks and makes for hilarious moments #but the sprites and art are really beautiful #dragon cave collection #art #dragons #idk what is going on but its cute so thats all that matters #156L

okayyy got bored and finally watched the live action little mermaid. actually i liked it way better than i thought i would

#fully went into it like haha let’s see how bad this actually is but. ariel and eric were both so endearing wtf?? together and individually #also really liked the parallels they drew btwn the two of them w them both being really into collecting artifacts and learning more abt #cultures etc #and eric wanting to explore ocean vs ariel wanting to explore land #personal #i mean certainly i still think disney absolutely sucks at expressing emotions and body language thru their cgi animals and that scuttle #being able to come down and talk to them underwater was a ridiculous choice and there were several awkward moments and it dragged at #times. but. can say w a fair amount of confidence that it was my favorite live action ive seen from them so far. and i would not be opposed #to rewatching it #DEFINITELY enjoyed it more than aladdin and beauty & the beast

This Saturday’s rabbit hole has been checking out the American Girl catalogue for the first time in years and being enamored with all the beautiful outfits and play sets. Unfortunately, I am not immune to Shiny Red Christmas things, which is 90% the appeal for me for looking at AG stuff. The other 10% is nostalgia from the early 2000s of looking at the shiny red Christmas AG stuff. XD

Anyways look at this beautiful doll.

She’s $300. That’s absurd. She’s so beautiful. I don’t want her. I want that outfit for myself. 😂

#ag dolls were something I was forced to have? I had 3 for some ungodly reason #my grandma got me Josefina when I was like. 7? and that was fine I liked her a lot #but then bc I also wanted to play with my grandma’s (display only) Samantha doll she got a Samantha doll for me which is like #I didn’t want her? I just wanted to play with my grandma’s Samantha I didn’t want my own Samantha #and then in middle school she got me Kit??? which I have no fucking idea why #I wasn’t even really playing with the other 2 anymore and I definitely never asked for Kit #you know. it wasn’t until this exact moment that I realized probably why my family got me Josefina specifically #and it probably had everything to do with my Princess Jasmine obsession. XDD which yes I know. totally different races #but it was the 90s so how many brown-skinned dolls were there really #apple talks #to the tune of spam #and here at the bottom of my tags I will add that holy fuck they have an hp collection and god it’s all so beautiful I’m so mad jkr is such #a piece of shit that train set is so cute 🥺🥺🥺

Truly the most baffling part of hotd so far is seeing so many people actively rooting for daemon as the audience’s new cool edgy badass pet character and all that. like man are we watching the same show

#house of the dragon #i quite like him so far for how starved for love and affection he is. and petty #and deranged #are we just collectively ignoring that his intro chapter included him sulking under a blanket #also the fact that rhaenyra seems to have become the other tumblr main character in turn— #honestly i don’t think it is productive here to root for anyone in particular knowing that the interesting part of the show is not #ascertaining Who Is Right and Good tm (i don’t think that’s possible) #but rather watching plots unravel and characters develop and play off each other as one watches a beautiful car crash #but i admit this is not generally how the internet watches media #i might be in the smallest minority here because i do think that the battle at the end of ep3 was the weakest moment in the show so far #for how it was reminiscent of got s6-8 and their unbelievable plot armor ridden ‘main character against a whole army’ battles #im not saying it was poorly made im just saying it was wildly uninteresting #like. we already knew that daemon was proud & violent and not above cheating to win (re: ep1 tourney) & desperate to #prove himself to everyone and especially his brother (re: ep2) #so what has this established
