Ive been mentally consumed by a post i saw on tiktok about how things simple things we do today mirror what past peoples might classify as "rituals" or however it was worded, and it reminded me of post where someone was watching their child relative (niece i think???) finger paint, and they drew the connection about how humans used to do that but on cave walls.
And really...we're just the same people doing the same things but with different technology.
I cannot say how much i think about the roman face cream with finger streaks still in it, showing us that a roman girl cared for her skincare just as much as we do today
And there's grafitti on the walls of Pompeii telling us jokes we can find graffiti'ed today, or GODS the ones that say "someone was here" CATCHES MY THOUGHS SO MUCH. Like we think of modern graffiti as insignificant/a hindrance or whatever, but looking back those kinds of historical finds are monumental because it tells us in some small way that some human lived, had experiences, and they *did* things, mundane things but they still did them none the less.
There's woven baskets and healed fractures and dolls and cave paintings and tools, all of them coming from simple people who lived simple lives but left behind little stories about themselves, all through the simple tools they used in their regular every day life. It's just so,,, i can't explain how it makes me feel bc it's like connecting with people across time HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
im very totally normal about this i swear 💀

I am feeling a way about Aelwyn continually inviting Adane to hang out at her apartment even though it's a disaster area with her ten ornery cats and scattered microwave dinner trays. I know a part of that is Brennan just wanting a reason to show the audience the very funny contrast from, "I came here to fuck!" to "Nooo Hector :(" But there's also something to her being like, "I want you here with me even though it will entirely ruin any possible remaining mystique around my cool girl persona"--something she absolutely still cares about in a general sense as she tells Adaine not to tell Fabian anyone else about what her apartment is like. It's one thing to be nice, but it's another to be vulnerable, especially when you've been raised in such a way that every weakness was used as a future attack--so much so that her entire brand of magic is protecting herself and not being vulnerable.

To this day I still think "I wish squids were real" is the funniest example of ascended canon ever. Like, the first Splatoon game comes out, someone makes a Miiverse post just saying "I wish squids were real" (already peak comedy), "I wish X was real" becomes a meme in the Splatoon community and gets reposted everywhere.
Then two years later Splatoon 2 comes out and
Literally iconic
