To know a thing you have to trust what you know, and all that you know, and as far as you know in whatever direction your knowing drags you.

Where whoever had hanged the arm from its pole had made certain that it was as much a gesture of grim and humorous defiance as the old house; where whoever had taken the trouble to swing the arm out into sight of the road had also taken trouble to tie down all the fingers but the middle finger, leaving that rigid and universal sentiment lifted with unmistakable scorn to all that came past.

part 2 of chapter one is almost done for this fic so lets celebrate with some headcanons!

• Eugene has introduced Leofric to the family once, and Leofric stuck around for a little while before going back to his duties as an Earl. He and Leofric still exchange letters to catch up from time to time

• Gavus fell in love first, but Eugene fell in love harder. I think this is practically canon, but I want to like establish this bc i like it

• Gavus is too paranoid to keep contact with the guy who spoke to him while he was imprisoned, but he hopes that guy is doing well.

• Eugene and Gavus enjoy dancing together, but Eugene enjoys flourishing and showing it off a little while Gavus just enjoys the act

• That being said, Eugene did try to teach Lucilla how to dance and it ended up with her accidentally learning how to dance badly on purpose instead. The session devolved from proper skill to “do you wanna know how to do a sprinkler?” “YES.”

• Gavus and Liberta watching, throwing out comments and Eugene doesn’t need commentary from the peanut gallery thank you

• Liberta attempted to bake Once. Only one time.

• He ended up somehow making molten cookies and he swears they’re edible but not too sure chief that sounds pretty inedible to me

• He’s not allowed to bake anymore (ironic considering he cooks, but cooking with supervision is not baking unsupervised)

• Lucilla ate the molten cookies, rather she ate one

• She could confirm they were inedible and she’s pretty sure she chipped a tooth somewhere in that cookie

• Gavus does the laundry but Eugene mends the clothes. because Eugene cannot be trusted to remember which soaps are for which fabrics and to not mix whites with colored fabric.

• There is a suspiciously pink shirt lying around because of that

• Lucilla back at it again with her disney princess dreams this time she got:

• A deer

• An ocelot

• Two mice found in the kitchen

• A snake

• Another snake

• This snake’s poisonous Lucilla

• She found a squirrel

• Chipmunks she wanted to name Alvedon, Simone and Theodore

• And a rat

• Gavus and Eugene “where IDD YOY GET THESE????”

• Lucilla “the forest :]”

• She does not get to keep them (justice for Lucilla)

• Lucilla and Liberta DEFINITELY get into petty sibling squabbles (“She stole my hairbrush!” “Yeah well you weren’t using it right then and we share the same cooties so!” “It’s the etiquette of not stealing people’s hairbrushes, Lucilla!”)

#afk arena #afk eugene #afk gavus #afk lucilla #afk liberta #eugavus #gagene #Eugene likes to watch the sibling squabbles #theyre great for entertainment #some funny shit has been said during them too #pretty sure Lucilla once called Liberta the ugly duckling in response to him arguing he’s not a pigeonhead #Lucilla once got called Cheaper Robin Hood by Liberta #when things get too far #which they rarely do #gavus and eugene do step in #but it usually stops by the time the insults get so ridiculous both of the twins have to pause #because what the hell does ‘apple rotten arrow’ mean??? #and sometimes its ‘the closest you get to a thought is the notion of an idea’ like what does that mean

Good news! Just found out the easiest way to spot a narcissist is the believe any random instagram post!!

#using how they treat you on your birthday as they key to spot them???? #yes sometimes people with untreated npd can be abusive but most domestic abuse doesnt involve npd at all #and all thats happening is people with npd (often as a result of trauma) are demonized and absuive partners escape accountability #and they escape accountibility because treating npd does not treat dv. they are two problems that interact with each other #but treating one doesnt treat the other and so #sometimes abusers will use therapy speak to continue abusing their partners #and its weird cause on insta they seem to have come to thay conclusion with bpd and theres support for them but totally not with npd #and i used to think more abusers were narcissists and were more npd until i read a well regarded book by an expert in dv #and i went oh my preconsceived notions mightve been incorrect or incomplete #shhh mo #im just ranting so much lol my ex was great on my birthday my best friend mixed up the dates and my dad was an ass #but guess who was the abuser!!!

Man is certain of nothing but his ability to fail. It is the deepest faith we have, and the unbeliever — the blasphemer, the dissenter — will stimulate in us the most righteous of furies.

Man hating terfs are annoying tbh. At what point do you admit that your hatred of men is pushing you away from 50% of the population? That lifelong friends and allies you could have had were repulsed by your dislike and maybe even fear of men?

#talk tag #went into terf tags again and didn’t sort from recent #they’re so annoying #good point they have are warped by the notion that this is all men #tbh their sexism and transphobia warps everything they touch #women are not inherently divine beings and men are not inherently predators #women and men are people #both capable of doing great and horrible things #sometimes in the same life spac

#I think the point that people overlook sometimes when talking about how azicrowley 'doesen't communicate' is that they actually do #they communicate PRETTY GREAT for the place they were their whole lifes #they communicate really good for two agents from different sides who shouldn't trust each other but still willing to try #for two beings that can be monitored constantly and dragged to literall hell torture or heavenly court for the crime of merely talking #they also isinely good at straing away from their sides propaganda #I wan't to point at Aziraphale specifically #like people can spend their whole lifes blinded by church propaganda #and we talk about someone who LITERALLY WAS GOD #WHO TALKED WITH GOD #WHO KNOWS THAT HEAVENS AND HELL AND GREAT PLAN — IT'S ALL REAL #can you IMAGINE what kind of intelligence curiosity openmindness and stubborness you need to even entertain the notion that your side may b #not right all the time?? #and how brave and recless you need to be to step even a little outside of your side 'safety' when you SAW what happens to bad angels and yo #it's literally can be you! one wrong move and you're going to hell!! people heal from this thinking for YEARS in therapy and he's alone wit #LITERAL DEMON (who says that he doesen't have inside motives for this??) for company #and he know that the hell is a real place!!! he pass it every time he goes for office!! can you IMAGINE what it do for a mind #because I'm sure can't! #like he's actually coping INSINETLY good! all his nervous ticks and smiles and anxieties and double standarts and tendency #to lie and repress — it's all coping!! and it works!! since he still alive sane and friends with Crowley it WORKS #oh he's not (they both not) a paragon of mental health and proper communication? well #there's a possibility he's never would be #like you get it right? when your mentality so wrapped around survivng this one specific thing it stays with you! I'll be happy if they both #become more in peace and starts talking beforemaking assumptions but tbh they never will be 'normal' and that's okay! #because they makes it work! that's why their relationship so beautiful!!

every time some western redditor calls wars "stupid" i want to punch them in the face. it seems that on liberal and left-wing circles on the internet, people now treat it like everyone's country is the top 5 largest countries on earth overlords from over the atlantic who decide to involve themselves in war and haven't had territorial disputes since their last fucking annexation, where for some countries our very existence and survival is based on war. our home is a byproduct of people who heroically lost their lives in war and have living relatives today. saying war is stupid is saying the peace i get to enjoy because thousands died for my country to exist is stupid. fuck you.

#anti-imperialism is important and you shouldn't actively want to support war #but war is sometimes necessary. because sometimes countries will invade your home and deny you peace. #you sound like the stupid right wingers that go “oh so maybe zelensky should just conceade” #sometimes there is no peaceful solution and you should understand war is necessary defensive action #its very great when you live in a society where your two neighbours dont want and can't invade you #but when you act like that is everyone else that is absolutely terrifyingly tone-deaf #also this is taylored at americans but russia and china do the same thing except not on this website #the larger the country the more tone deaf y'all sound - because you have no notion of neighbours and border disputes

i mentioned 'gremlin brain' in the last thing i reblogged, which reminds me I forgot to mention a lil personal achievement that happened Valentine's Day for me:

gone 2 years without going thru a repeat of the insanely deep depressive bout I had back in 2021!

I kinda get worried sometimes that it'll come back, but I know my friends and family love me despite whatever my dumb brain conspires to tell me sometimes, and that's the best kind of love I could get :)

#delete later #personal #a while ago (last year now i believe) i told a friend of mine about a moment I had where like #it was the first time in YEARS I've been able to watch a Youtube video of two dudes just hanging out and being funny #and I didn't even remotely feel envious of it -- I felt more like I was *also* a friend just laughing along with it #and it was SUCH a wonderful feeling tbh #like sometimes I doubt how much progress I've *really* made with myself since my circumstances haven't *really* changed #but things like that remind me that I AM improving and things CAN get better #and im really grateful for the ppl who stuck with me through all that because BOY I was insufferable to be around at the time #I'd like to work on like... actually *engaging* with ppl more though #pushing aside the notion that I'm 'annoying' by default and instead just trusting what I'm told directly #if I gush about art or a fic and the author doesn't *say* to my face 'ur annoying please shut up' #THEN... RADICAL CONCEPT: im not actually annoying lmao #AND IT SOUNDS SO SIMPLE *NOW* but in the moment I still get overwhelmed with fear hahaha #but that's the next thing I wanna gradually improve on #even if I just start with friend's posts themselves?? and then maybe moving outside that little comfort zone circle u know? #baby steps! #actually u know what would be a great baby step? ...getting rid of my 'delete later' tag LOL cuz i think u all know i don't... #I don't use it properly lmao -- it was more of a throwaway so I felt more comfortable posting stuff? with the idea it was 'disposable' #if... that makes any sense whatsoever
