[dizzyhslightlyvoided]

where have all the good men gone

and where are all the gods

to catch them is my real test

to train them is my cause

#shenanigans #holding out for a hero #pokemon #pokemon anime #common meter #fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak memes stronger

I ponder what she'd want from me— I know one part is wit, which I possess, debatably; I stole her store of it. But what else of my character? To be an Imogen the men would have me—artless, pure, beneath a father's pen. I don't think I'd be so unwise to be cast in her play, to move before that woman's eyes as I do anyway— But they are drooped. She is long-dead and so are many more. I pluck hairs from her resting bed and other corpses for my wicked, hoary majesties, my poems, mortal, light— look all around these lines. The breeze breathes dust through storied sight. Look for romantic ingenues, and you may painted find their flesh embalmed, with added hues that never crossed a mind. My eyes come not from Cymbeline— the eagle plucked them out. I found some pearls, incarnadine dyed in my husband's doubt. I ponder—do I do enough for women with my arts? Stroll through their graves, unpack their stuff, dissect their carrion hearts, decayed and crumbling in my palms— do I do right by them? Past undegrading them with balms, I paste on pomp and gem.

—"Do It for Her (Self-Aggrandizing Self-Portrait as Imogen)" - a poem written 2/16/2024

Heal

I pray your body to be healed

I pray your spirit freed

From chains so cold you cannot feel

The sentiments you need

I pray that you forgive yourself

I pray that you revive

The dreams that sit upon your shelf

I pray they come alive

I pray your suffering to cease

I pray that you accept

You’re one of life’s sweet rarities

You’re graceful heart, adept

I live for the dynamic of "Both Goldenloin and Blackheart are very smart and competent in their respective fields but they are also both very fucking stupid"

#Ballister is a genuis but his Common Sense O' Meter is non-existent #Ambrosius is a pretty good tactical leader but don't ever ask him to spell or do a math problem or read a room or #nimona #ambrosius goldenloin #goldenheart #ballister blackheart #nimona graphic novel #ballister x ambrosius #blackloin

I've started watching lock picking lawyer videos when the Horrors get too much because a major anxiety thing for me is always needing to know where my exits are and I find it unbelievably reassuring to see someone very calmly explain how locks work and how to bypass them in under 5 minutes. The downside to this is I don't know where my lock picks are and it's really stressing me out because now I desperately want to practice

#i have a mini set in my wallet and i just straight up carry keys for the most common locks i need to access or get stressed about #namely for accessible toilets + fish lights + storage cabinets + police handcuffs + this one brand of toilet roll dispenser #which always really fucks me off because it doesnt WORK without the ability to open and unjam it but theyre really common and i hate them #but. i want my full set. i wanna practice this is making me feel better and id feel even better if i was better at it #OH also i carry a multipurpose hex key for things like gas meters and fuse boxes and fixing a skateboard #which is good and mostly very reassuring to own but i would like to be even more self sufficient with it yk

the underappreciated star of my family’s gift exchange. when you press a button on the bottom he plays the melody of “aura lee” and yes it sounds awful

#and also...... #meter #specifically his little caption is in common meter!! i.e. the amazing grace/most emily dickinson poems/pokemon/rising sun meter #you have to kiss a lot of frogs / before you find a prince

oh - when my nephew was here he also told me that my mother said medication doesn't have any effect on hunger.

hahaha that's so fucking funny, I'm gonna scream :)

(was just reminded of this because I feel like I'm starving. because of my new meds. when without them... I don't really feel hungry until many hours after I should have eaten.)

#literally how can you say something so fucking stupid when you have zero experience with it yourself #I mean that's just what she does. always and about everything. but this one is particularly infuriating #I bet it came up because they were talking about my weight. and it wouldn't have been nice :) so that's just. awesome to know. #anyway yeah I literally feel COMPLETELY different when I'm on certain antidepressants. they make me hungry ALL THE TIME. and not slightly #hungry like hm I could eat. nope. so hungry that it feels like I'm starving only a few hours after I've had a meal #but sure! you know better! totally! #and it's LITERALLY in the damn information leaflet as a common side effect. for like three different meds I'm on. but no it's just because #I'm stupid :) #(for context. my mother is the most openly and proudly fatphobic person ever. she will very loudly talk about a fat person's body when they #are only a couple meters away. she hates fat people. so. this isn't a neutral statement coming from her. it's filled with hate and disgust #and I'm fucking sick of this shit. literally I'd feel so much more comfortable in my body if she were dead. it's the biggest hurdle to #getting over my own internalised fatphobia. my first thought is usually something she would say. it fucking sucks.) #tw fatphobia

living with people who Walk Extremely Fast while needing time alone in the shared house spaces to do your basic selfcare/starting-the-day routines + having Trauma around being seen even fucking existing in shared spaces, including a long-ongoing and hefty dose of it from said people themselves, is a living hell actually. especially when they insist on constantly leaving doors wide open that would normally mitigate the house being a fucking panopticon and also give you like two seconds' warning that they're entering the space so you can brace yourself or leave. Hate

#moogletalks #me: starves myself for hours; takes my medication extremely late; and spends 90% of my time trapped in my bed with my health deteriorating #while waiting for people to Fucking Go Somewhere Else and Stay There for Like 20 Fucking Minutes Jesus Christ #me: finally either musters myself to tiptoe out and quietly go about my business because i thought they found somewhere else to be #or just fucking gives up and braces myself for sandpaper to my triggers + probably filling the Flip Out and Abuse Moogle meter a little more #housemates: GOD YOU'RE SO FUCKING LAZY RUDE AND SELFISH YOU JUST WANT TO HOG THE COMMON AREAS AND HAVE EVERY LITTLE THING HOW YOU WANT IT #YOU'RE COLD AND UNFRIENDLY AND ONLY WANT TO LIVE HERE LIKE A LEECH BECAUSE YOU STAY IN YOUR ROOM ALL THE TIME #BUT ALSO I HATE SEEING YOUR FACE AROUND AND YOU DON'T SPEND EVERY MOMENT I CAN SEE YOU ENTERTAINING ME OR BEING ''PRODUCTIVE'' #[MULTI-HOUR SCREAMING MATCH AND THREATENING TO MAKE YOU HOMELESS BECAUSE YOU HAD THE UPPITYBITCH AUDACITY TO ASK ME TO TURN A LIGHT OFF WHEN #I LEAVE A ROOM OR MAKE A LIST OF CHORES OR STOP TURNING THE THERMOSTAT TWO DEGREES PAST WHAT YOU CAN TOLERATE] #it's like fucking clockwork and i'm sick of it and when the people involved walk like they're training for the fucking olympics #and constantly remove or invade every single way for you to avoid them the tiniest fucking bit #it makes things a hundred thousand times more stressful!!!!!!! #and i KNOW most of these people would be doing the exact same thing with my bedroom if it was even slightly more socially acceptable #they would be straight up taking the bathroom door off its hinges so they can repeatedly walk in and out while you're trying to take a shit #it is a hundred thousand fucking percent a control thing and i hate it i hate it go AWAY.
