How horrifying it is to realize that your love of someone is the only thing keeping them human, and that if you waver in that love even a little bit they will slowly and grotesquely turn back into a frog. And the futility of trying to keep loving them if only to keep someone from such a terrible fate, but the very attempts to force such a love weaken any bonds that once existed (not to mention he’s not helping things by putting all of the executive work of both the relationship and RUNNING A COUNTRY on your shoulders).
So perhaps, you decide, it’s better to leave and fall out of love entirely, and end their slow, torturous transformation, only to realize that that is also not a fate so freely given either. If you could just not love him, then some other girl, one with less weight on her shoulders, could fall for him instead. In all likelihood he’d be happier with someone less burdened by more ‘serious matters’ as you are. But that doesn’t work either, because you remember that part of him that made you fall in love in the first place, and so the trap is set. Not loved enough to remain human, not hated enough to restart the cycle. Just, half-formed, grotesque, not quite a husband not quite a frog. Fuck me.

Okay, but. Seriously. DYWTYLM is one of my favorite fucking songs (Sleep Token as a band is insane, holyfuck?) and applying it to Osvald and Partitio made me love it ... all the more. Osvald has so many reasons to hold back when it comes to loving anyone or anything. He is on a journey of revenge and he sure as shit (in the beginning) doesn't care if he comes out of it whole. And then he meets Partitio Yellowil. Is there something you give that you will never receive in return? Do you know what it is? This is about Partitio, 100%. This man travels the world and gives everyone he meets a silver coin and Osvald watches this and understands that Partitio meets people and he gives a little of himself away to them. He adores them --- almost everyone he meets. Partitio loves to help people. He loves others so quickly and wholely that he wants to see them happy, he wants to see them thrive, even if it just means he pops in and fixes a problem and then goes off on his merry way.
And are you trying to live like everything is a lesson to learn? Can you ever forgive (YOURSELF?) Do you wish that you loved me?
Now it's time, obviously, for Osvald. Every encounter with this man is actually him studying; he is studying the world and how it works he is studying magic which is in everything, everywhere one looks. The answer to The One True Magic could be anywhere and Osvald is looking but in the process, he is also struggling with what happened. With his family. With himself. He wonders if Partitio wishes he could love him because ... at first it honestly feels like Osvald is the ONLY PERSON that Partitio has met and couldn't outright fix with a coin. Is loving him the way Partitio loves other people and the world even possible, given what he is? This man has such issues with self-worth, with needing to heal. He literally has his answers he just doesn't know how to find them.
And my reflection just won't smile back at me like I know it should. And I would turn into a stranger in an instant if I could. There is something eating me alive, I don't know what it is. Maybe not that you conceal your feelings; They just don't exist.
More Osvald. More of knowing he used to be a different person, he used to come home and announce himself and be adored and it's not there anymore. Something is missing and cannot be replaced. And oh, if possible, he would become nobody and fade out and be forgotten --- by this group of travelers but by Partitio especially. Something is eating at him. It's that FIRE in him he constantly talks about but he thinks that Partitio wants nothing to do with it, that he won't risk so much as singing his gloves where Osvald's hands have scarred. This whole song --- I COULD DO THIS TO THE WHOLE SONG. I just have so many fucking FEELINGS about them. And you are gonna see them because I need to write them out or I will perish thank you.

The spring air is surprisingly stifling at this time of year, even the light breeze that comes somehow cloying in its relief. Hua Xiangyi’s fan quickens its pace, the flutter of it the only indication of any discomfort upon the painted face that wears the smile of an enlightened one. 
The Empress Dowager is less composed in her suffering under the inestimable heat, leaning upon a cushion as her attendants fan her assiduously, wiping away any beads of sweat that mist upon her brow and nose, leaving patches of pinkened skin where the white makeup has lifted. 
“I’m sure she’ll be here soon,” Hua Xiangyi assures her aunt, fully aware of how mortifying it must be for her aunt to have to attend someone first after all these years in her seat of power. It’s in that moment that the Heir Apparent arrives, an entire house in attendance of their entrance. Hua Xiangyi rises, commits an artful bow, and smiles up at them with a genuine delight.
Li Jianting is not so adorned as she expects them to be. By all accounts, they are a studious and meritorious student of Xue Xiuzhou’s, but she’d still expected something between that and the upjumped strumpet of a girl her aunt had complained of in the quiet of her chambers. 
She’s fair, with a simple beauty, and a remote air that makes her appear delicately thoughtful, if a little wary. Hua Xiangyi decides that she likes the look of her, and waits for the eunuch to motion to the seat of honor. 
“It feels like summer,” Hua Xiangyi laughs, after a long awkward pause, wherein her aunt, as the host, ought to have begun the conversation and greet the Heir Apparent first. But she’s used to running interference for her capricious aunt’s moods. “I could have sworn I heard a cicada only a moment ago. It’s too early for them, surely. It’s not the season ...”
It’s a stupid conversation starter. She knows that full well. But small talk is the safest route, knowing the tension that exists between the Heir Apparent and the Empress Dowager both. But there’s one thing Hua Xiangyi prides herself on, and it’s subverting while conforming. So she makes an attempt. 
“I hear that gongzhu dianxia is a pupil of Xue Xiuzhou, a most esteemed scholar,” she says brightly, but doing away with that saccharine-sweet, simpering tone that sounds like deceit itself. It’s an effort to be less like a sycophant. More like a person. A person that would trest them like a person. “Are they allowing you any freedoms to attend cases yet? Surely a capable person such as yourself should be utilized in such precarious times.” 
@feiyuie — Li Jianting

I'm trying my best not to open up my heart
It's been torn apart too many times
But without you I'd die, and I don't wanna die
Not today, not tomorrow, not tonight, I don't wanna die
I need you, I need you more than life
More than life, more than life, more than life

hiding my emotions over here like a goober because i’m shy but
whenever someone follows my halo blog it gives me a Large Emotion
sure i love being a curated fire hose of reblogs over here on zitasaurusrex but my halo blog is 99% me yelling into the content stream myself, and that makes it feel extremely personal in a nice way when someone picks it out of the pile and goes “yes i want more of this on the regular”

Please, for the love of god, please don’t be this person. No matter how long it’s been since an update, no matter how many unfinished stories are sitting on their account, no matter what - do not be this person.
Not only is it insanely rude, but you also do more damage than you think be being such a self-entitled ass about something someone created for free and for fun. “This author” can see what you say.
RIP decency indeed.

Because i feel like i might be overestimating what the average is, i shall Conduct Research
This isn't about how many languages you speak, but how many youre able to count up to at least 10 in, since basic numbers are some of the first words you learn in a foreign language and sometimes you catch them without having studied the language at all

Accessibility tip:
If you want to automate your home a bit, but you don't want any "smart" tech, you can just buy remote controlled power sockets instead
Tumblr media
They are a lot cheaper and easier to set up and use than some home automation smart tech nonsense
They don't need an app (but some models come with optional apps and there are apps that are compatible with most of these)
Many of them use the 433mhz frequency to communicate, which makes most models compatible with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers
The tech has been around for a long time and will be around for a long time to come
You don't have to put any fucking corporate listening devices like an amazon echo in your home
Models for outdoors exist as well

I want Toby Fox three years after the last chapter to make a game where it's just the Fun Gang going on a road trip to the east coast to go fishing. They raid a gas station on the way to grabs snacks for the road (and the lobsters they catch). Happy April Fool's.

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything
