but there's still hope

(my favorite final frames)

#i think what i love so much about each of these #is that they're messages to the audience #on the outside looking in #messages of hope or connection or despair or loss #messages that there's something out there. there's something bigger. #but just messages to us #often things that mulder and scully don't see or don't share with anyone (most of them not even each other) #if u send me an ask about any of these i'll chat about it specifically #kae web weaving

. . . I wondered why, why am I not like them? Why am I a foreigner? Why have I always been outside, pushed out, never one of them? What is it? Why am I always peering in through the window?

When you've never felt like you really belonged somewhere, it's almost impossible to know what it will feel like to finally feel at home. ― Sarah McBride

Hello there.....

............Nope. Still not dead (so far). Lol.

Don't think many people are missing me anymore... and that's okay - time continues, people move on and grow apart, and life happens. ::shrugs:: What're you gonna do, right?

Not sure about the state of my stories/fics @ this point... haven't officially decided anything. I once had absolutely every intention of finishing them - I really did love writing them & had many plans for the storyline(s). I just... have so little free time right now that I don't know what the future holds for them. :-/

What I've been doing/Where I've been: 'Mom-ing', lol. I mean, that's really 90-95% of it. My son's now 5, ABA has been great for him, and we're preparing him for kindergarten in the fall. My daughter's 1 1/2 and growing and learning a little more every day. Not every day is 'easy', but for the most part we're doing okay.

I also bought a Cricut Maker cutting machine & eventually started a small side business making and selling my own magnetic toppers for Pair Eyewear glasses (not affiliated with them, just doing my own crafts) - but I want to branch out to other crafts as well. I enjoy it - creating my own designs & making a product for someone else to wear & enjoy. It's a neat feeling - creating something that other people want to use. Pretty cool! It's still in its starting stages, but I'm hoping to gain more customers in the future. If you're ever on FB or Etsy, look me up: - VIP Creations on FB - VIP Creations on Etsy

So... yeah, that's about it so far. ...I'm not super exciting, hehe. ::shrugs again:: If you still wanna chat, definitely feel free to hit me up! I hope 'the gang' I used to chat semi-regularly with is doing well & are all relatively happy. ...It's kinda tough being an older person in the group - a little less to relate to people with, and little 'cliques' always seem to form here & there (my whole life I never really fit in with ANY group/'clique' - that's just me & my weird spectrum-ness, hehe)... but no ill feelings (mostly, LOL). Just... taking one day at a time.

Mini kinda theory time:

(Or get thoughts out of my head so I can sleep)

As far as the memories ripped out of Jughead mind.

The most interesting to me was the moment him and Archie became friends again. That was episode two.

This is the episode that began what we know as Riverdale, it brought the group together.

Should that not happen, guess who is no longer at the table at the end of the episode.

Jughead.

In fact in the episode he even said there were only 3 people in the booth.

We could further stipulate that because he was not there Betty would not think to ask him to join the Blue and Gold.

Could be an interesting domino effect there.

——————-

Im thinking out loud here but it depends on how Jughead’s memories could affect everyone if he is the one that is writing the narrative.

If his past changes, his narrative shifts so even if it was just his memories tampered with it changes things for everyone simply because he’s running the show.

Am I making this complicated…yes…but I’m fighting crazy with crazy here.

so I mean honestly, if this is what it’s going to be like (and what it’s going to cost) to see @taylorswift perform, I think that I will never see her again

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

you are greeted by...... her

even if you're not a supernatural fan, if you've been on tumblr long enough you are, like, culturally. like cultural christianity in america except it's the cw's supernatural. you may never have watched an episode or set foot inside the tag but your regular life shuts down on their holidays and all of your world news is delivered through that point of view. something to think about

#while i'm making equivalences we could look at the comparable impacts of the bible on the western literary canon and supernatural on ao3 #edited to add: y'all i have never seen supernatural either that's the post #yes my brain has been rotted by this fandom but the call is coming from outside the house #that tumblr lyfe #containment breach #spn

i've died on smaller hills, so i can't judge. but i do think it's funny whenever posts about the proper definition of a poor little meow meow circulate, considering none of them mention that the origin was a kpop fan's absolutely bonkers tweet about not being able to protect a full grown man who was getting backlash for including audio from the jonestown cult leader jim jones in one of his songs

#cults mention #i don't actually expect people to know this the internet is very large and it's hard to trace the origins of things #but this is always a wild one to look at from the outside

I headcanon that all of Yoda's finest teacups were made by younglings

In fact most masters of the order's finest teacups were made during crèche crafting time when the kids were learning pottery.

#what im saying is that if one jedi is mad at another #they will serve tea in a normal store bought boring looking teacup and not the wonky colourful child made ones #like they can feel the joy an creativity flow from the cups in the force amd it just makes tea time just so much better #so receiving tea in a store bought cup feels more lifeless (unless its a gift from a friend outside the temple or sth idk) #you know youve made it as a jedi when a youngling gifts you a teacup #yoda has multiple of those vitrine shelves to showcase his gigantic collection #Star Wars #obi wan kenobi #mace windu #shaak ti #plo koon #yoda #jedi council

I'll tell you what I want,—something to live for,—some excitement. Is it not a shame that I see around me so many people getting amusement, and that I can get none?

Gamers this has been on my mind for a while, and I've been Going Through It so I can't thoughtfully articulate it yet but: the little things can, and absolutely will, save you.

#sara speaks #i am grasping at thin air trying to concisely explain that sometimes looking outside and noticing a common bird flitting around #can absolutely be the difference between getting through the day and not

[veliseraptor]

have realized that while i am not a fan necessarily of "people meet and immediately fall in love" i am a fan of "people meet and are immediately obsessed with each other." the love can come later but the absolute fixation should be immediate

#important text posts #about me #vegaspete and xuexiao in particular come to mind #it's the 'how unhinged does this look from the outside' question maybe #if it just looks like two people hitting it off and being cute together right away then eh not my thing #if it looks like two people who have suddenly zeroed in on each other in a way that makes others go 'oh that doesn't seem good' #i'm there baby
