that we remind them that they were right to be afraid. in the darkness there be dragons. we've succeeded in making captain flint the name of grim death to all of them. they don't fear ships they don't fear guns they don't fear swords then what do they fear?

Hello! I'm back! (ish)

How are you guys? ♡♡♡

I managed to cross off a few things from my bucket list and dare I say, girlie is feeling hella blessed despite looking like a zombie after a week-long holiday in and out of the country.

We got to see the 'Tolkien Door' at St. Edward's Church in Gloucestershire, which is rumoured to be the inspiration for the Doors of Durin. You guys know I'm a big Tolkien nerd. XD

We also revisited the stone staircase at Bodley Tower in Oxford, which was the filming location of the Grand Staircase scenes in the HP movies (or some of it, at least).

Oh, and of course, we got to see the final race of the season as part of our anniversary trip! My partner and I are big F1 fans and we've had this race in our bucket list. It was lovely revisiting my old home and just complaining about the blaring sun once again, as one does when away from the bleak, grey skies of England. That didn't stop me from fangirling over Oscar Piastri though, even if he didn't make it to the podium this season.

Anyways, we did so many wonderful things in between and I am beyond exhausted but very much fulfilled. I am back to my boring ass life now, so that means more Seb pics and HL memes, I suppose. ♡

#the hemsworth brothers were at the grand prix y'all!!! #also kanye was there. boo! #i took a bajillion pics at cotswold and oxford before tragedy struck #my phone is barely hanging on for dear life #hence the shitty abu dhabi pics #it's fine. i'm fine. #i had so much fun! #idk how much more a girl can be spoiled #but y'all! i've been spoiled rotten! #i should have enough serotonin to last me through the holidays #sorry for rambling too much #i'm back! #personal #ari rambles

Coming Out Swinging; or, It's So Early In The Year To Be Over-Buying Books But Here We Are.

Okay, so: I know I set one of my bookish goals this year to be "buy fewer books," BUT! First off, preorders don't count, and second off, the Two Lines Press haul was logged under last year's book purchases, and it's not my fault they arrived a week later. RAVEN TOWER I have no excuses for.

I have really enjoyed everything of Two Lines Press that I've read so far--their Calico series are perfect bite-sized anthologies in translation, vaguely themed (and THIS IS US LOSING COUNT has the English and Russian version of the poems presented side by side! I can read both of those!!). I'm ride or die for Wayward Children installments (this is why I love January), and a friend spoke very highly of RAVEN TOWER so I picked up a used copy from HPB. I'm very pleased with my piecemeal haul to start the year! I swear I'll buy fewer books once I work through all my coupons/gift cards! I love books!!

#book haul #book photography #my photography #two lines press #this is us losing count #elektrik #elemental #calico series #at the edge of the woods #masatsugu ono #mislaid in parts half-known #seanan mcguire #the raven tower #ann leckie #also listen i have come to terms with the fact that book buying is the coping mechanism i am leaning on #because writing as my coping mechanism is inaccessible for great chunks of my time here and i hate that with every fiber of my being #but you can only have so many conversations with people who claim to love you about what you need to not lose your mind before-- #--you give the fuck up because nothing changes and you just simmer in resentment about it for years #it's fine. i'm fine. #(i need a fucking house lmao)

love going back to my novel with the intention to skip ahead to another chapter to get unstuck but then read over the plan and feel like each subsequent chapter is protected by a huge wall as well ✌️

#i have not worked on it for a month+ #maybe i should reread some of what i've already got #bc i've been spending so much time with bbc merlin characters that my own feel more like abstract concepts #and maybe some lunch will make me less likely to cry and/or scream #don't mind me yelling frustratedly into the void to try and generate any thoughts #the ideal thing would to be to have paper copies of things to slam on the floor and rearrange #so i need to try and do that in my head ig #ahhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #it's fine. i'm fine. #personal #lit talks

[stardustedwanderer]

...They. They will come back right?

They aren't just. Going to leave me here, to deal with this, completely alone except for people who can't remember anything that's happened for months a while now........ Right??

#stardust.txt #.............. #It's fine. I'm fine. #I am fine and chill and very fine and this is fine. #.... #I'm going to go cat mode and fine Isa now.

#i enjoyed one (1) mobile game #savvier people than me had better be archiving assets and animations and voicelines #at least the cutscenes will be going up on yt afterwards #dffoo #i'll just be here hustling to max out the ffxv characters and being sad we never got ravus or regis #yuna and bartz got to reunite w their dead dads why not noct :') #and bro can you even imagine ravus and luna reuniting in dissidia world #ravus just wanted to see his sister happy and free from the weight of her obligations #it's fine. i'm fine. #and that's not even getting into there are main cast members missing from several other installments. like rikku. we have paine but not rik #missing amarant from ix and red xiii from vii #URIANGER FROM XIV!! #we have. lyse. but not one of the ogs???? #heck dffoo would be the perfect place to put moenbryda and ysayle #and i also would have liked to see aymeric and estinien! #oh and raubahn how could i forget my man raubahn

[captorations]

well it took less than 48 hours to be back on my bullshit. it could be a few weeks but i really am just building myself an entire AtN. or at least nine scenes of it, which i will then pair with thematically relevant "post-canon" scenes with which they will share a chapter. and of course the chapter numbers will align with the houses. and of course it will be breathtakingly non-linear

#normal and sane things to be doing. #it's fine. i'm fine. #the locked tomb

I said this in the tags of one of my gifsets, but truly, it still stands. The devil works fast, but My Chem gifmakers work faster. 

#personal #Hello. Happy Tuesday. It is 4 AM and I got absolutely no sleep. Literally 0 hours 0 minutes. :) #And I have to go into work for nine hours in an hour. #It's fine. I'm fine. #But anyway the amount of gifsets I've seen of just this single show so far... It's lovely to see!

[monstermoviedean]

thank god it's clock out time i was about to fucking lose it

#pretty sure I'm using the right number because you refuse to keep track of them #if you make me hunt down another number over a charge that is less than ten dollars i will scream #and then there's the grantee who makes double my salary and complains about everything #yes i know you live in a rural area guess what. so do I. yeah i know we asked you to talk about trans kids and i don't want to hear about #how 'people out here just don't support that.' I know that's the truth but we're still asking for data because it's the right thing to do. #I know what people in the country behave like i fucking live here and i don't want to be reminded of how shitty it is! #meanwhile all of this was distracting me from reading about adolescent substance overdose deaths so now I have to finish reading tomorrow #FUCK. #it's fine. I'm fine. #these are all normal regular job problems that i would have at any job. my job is on the whole very good and not soulsucking #and I'm stressing too hard about the weather and family obligations and moving so i just didn't need ANY of this #I did get more of a rhythm today though so that's a start #okay bye nap time i've tired myself out like a toddler having a tantrum #this aussie guy i know calls tantrums wookiees and I always wondered if it was an aussie thing or a him thing

For over one year and a half I've been fixating on a manga/anime with a mediocre ending, and the same thing happened when I was 15...... now I'm in my Renaissance ASOIAF era and I feel like i'm 17 again, going ha ha ha sickos.jpg about a glorified prestige tv telenovela starring fake fantasy royals who wear ugly wigs and act like girlbosses and malewifes and emo clowns, each one of them trapped by patriarchy and feudalism and history, the Narrative like a haunted house from which there's no way out....... something something time (& hyperfixations) is a cycle etc. etc. I'm almost afraid to wonder what comes next

#like. what can be worse lol #i can't possibly get more unhinged than this #ah i failed to mention that both the anime and fire lizards otps have the self-recognition through the other thing...... #it's fine. i'm Fine. #val speaks #txt

[freakoutgirl]

90% sure i have a dry socket :|

#personal #blaming the first day when i was profusely bleeding #it's fine. i'm fine.

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

#buny text #I'm fine i've just been staying up too late playing bg3 the past few nights #and then wanting to wake up before noon so my parents don't say anything rude to me so i end up getting less sleep to facilitate that #and it's catching up to me #i feel like this explanation maybe undermines my previous statement of 'I'm fine' a bit but I'm fine i promise #look at my lop posts boy

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

#the subtitle mistakes i've seen are absolutely fucking embarrassing #subtitles should make something easier to understand not harder #and i can hear just fine so i'm lucky! #i've seen the kind of mistakes that would make an entire video unintelligible to someone who doesn't have the audio for any reason #it's unacceptable

[lazylittledragon]

made a sticker for anyone to slap onto their work if they need to

#ramble #i've only interacted with tiktok via osmosis #but something is eating their brain matter and it makes me sad #it's fine if you only want to read light things (all power to you) but don't whine at me because i write about bad people sometimes #i'm so tired

[gnabries]

we truly have like twelve players left and it's only february
