there’s not necessarily an age limit to Narnia, besties, it’s about how you can serve Narnia and how Narnia can serve you within your own story.

#narnia #like #it’s about what you need and what they need etc #Frank and Helen stayed there their entire lives and their line continues in narnia and archenland #it’s not as simple as ‘you’re too old’ it’s about what both they and you need #etc etc #also it’s implied that the reason the Pevensies originally go home is bc they deeply desire seeing their family again

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........

#MOTHER FFFFUCKER #to be fair. my doc said I could stop taking them while im on break since i wouldnt need to be constantly pumped on stimulants #im not sure if it was a side effect but i managed to take like 3 different naps in one day and STILL managed to sleep thru the whole night #at least 2 days into my break. the weird thing is i didnt feel more or less rested afterwards. but mentally i think im in a good place rn #to really put the level of awakeness im at rn i feel weirdly confident i could start one piece. also bc of that sick new opening it BANGS #the song is really good and im in love with the animation style. did some digging and it seems one of the lead animators is masato mori #but i could be wrong. it seems he also did some work on mp100 which could explain a lot lol.. he uses smear frames really well to convey #consistent movement and fluidity!!! someone else might have done color design but it works really really well esp with odas style!!#just love the overall vibe and aesthetic and id really love to study it and incorporate a bit of it into my art.. especially the thick #outlines which i think helps to separate characters and objects on screen. though i have to say the style is definitely more suited to #animation bc of the simpleness and smears. maybe that will help me explore shapes and perspective when i draw... i wanna get better #at drawing poses and angles but i have a hard time wrapping my head around space and using perspective guide lines NGHHHH #i wonder if it has to do with my dogshit ability to judge distance. not depth perception but like. judge how far smth is in metres etc #im also wearing an N95 for the first couple weeks back bc of the wave. absolutely NO BODY is wearing a mask its so fucking over #where im sitting ive heard 5 different people coughing probably not into their elbows!!! and im just. head in my fucking hands #there was a kid sitting a couple seats away in class coughing as he pleases and i wanted to grab him in a chokehold so badly. PLEASEE #ive been annoying my family by asking them to mask up and reminding them to bring masks when they go out and showing them news articles #but at least its working bc we ordered some KN95s and my mom is at least taking me seriously so. please dont be afraid to speak up abt your #health. take care of yourself and others however u can!! wear that mask indoors at your maskless friends house!!! stay home when u can!!#im wearing a surgical mask at home too bc my parents have '''a dry throat cough''' and they are so bad at coughing into their sleeves #also im pretty sure dry throat isnt transmissible bc my brother started coughing too so.. i also tested negative but they havent tested yet #im also not a doctor but i have to keep reminding ppl whenever i can that covid and flu work differently. covid is new and too recent to #have nearly as much research done on it. it seems its also compounding so instead of building immunity it weakens the body and spreads to #to other systems which might explain brain fog and muscle weakness. i remember someone early in the pandemic got infected and it messed up #their smell/taste receptors so bad that they cant eat most foods and that stays in the front of my mind when i think abt covid. christ #yapping

there's a very specific kind of vibe that comes with living with your friends in final year that it just does not have in first year or even second year. like as a fresher it's usually the first time any of you have lived away from home let alone with SO MANY people your age and it's terrifying and exciting and randomised to boot so it's generally carnage for a whole year in the best and worst ways, and then second year you pick who you're living with and it feels like for the first time you're doing this adult thing PROPERLY. you have a place of your own now. these are the people you've chosen to live with. studying gets serious etc. but it's still fresh. it's still new. you still don't know how to navigate it. but final year? final year is when you actually get it right. you know how to manage your time better. you know what works for you and what doesn't. studying is the main focus and you've been out in the world for three years now and it's not loud and boisterous like it was in first year and you're not exciteable and awkward like you were in second year. you're comfortable. every single one of my flatmates has their own friend group and we mainly keep to our own social circles, but we'll still meet each other back at the house after a night out and sit in the kitchen or my room to do the debrief. sometimes i'll go days not seeing either of them despite sharing a house but every now and then someone will softly call up the stairs that 'the heating's on!' or one of us will sneeze and the other two will yell 'bless you!' through the walls. the lack of interaction isn't interpreted as dislike in ways it would have been even last year, because we're all just old enough to be past that now and settled enough in our friendship not to worry about it. idk. uni is very loud and unsettling a lot of the time so it's been really sweet to see how almost boringly comfortable final year is.

#like my day today was literally drag myself out of bed at 10am to meet my econ friends bc we're in a group together #and i spent two hours with them writing a fucking TRADE REPORT before coming home #and the rest of the day was kinda lost. i showered. i put a wash on. i had a nap. i mainly stayed in my room #which sometimes is the End Of All Things but today was quite nice #and i can hear in their rooms how my flatmates are doing the exact same thing. pottering about and getting on with uni #and we've barely spoken all day but earlier my one flatmate ran into my room all excited to show me her nails #bc she's been teaching herself to do gels and it took her 2 hours but im still one of the first people she wanted to show #and just now we all went to use the bathroom at the same time and it led to one of our Stair Sessions #where we all inexplicably just gather on the stairs and chat for no reason with a cup of tea #idk it's just nice. it's such basic shit but i can't belive in first year i used to spend EVERY DAY with these girls #and we were one single friendship group and that was all we had #and then in second year one girl branched off bc she lived in a studio and got into her societies #but me and the other girl lived together again and it was the same thing of she was a friend before she was someone i lived with #and weirdly that can actually be detrimental to a dynamic. but this year we're all just very solidified and confident in ourselves #and where we stand and yes we all have our own friendship groups outside of the house now #but there's still that love and simple comfortableness around each other that you only get with time and a hell of a lot of proximity #and a sense of being settled that maybe is just what happens as you get older #idk it's just really nice. if i had this exact same day in first year (doing economics and barely leaving my room)#it would've been a really bad depressive day for me so the fact i can find such contentment from it now is really heartening #i love my little life here im very proud of what ive been able to achieve :)#hella goes to uni #feeling nostalgic because SOME BITCH decided to ribs post

Sorry to just drop into this, but another thing to consider with handmade good and the ‘overpriced’ idea is that you also have to factor in how much stock might sell at any given time.

For example, if you make 100 pairs of earrings in a month but might only sell 30 (because you need to give people options etc.) then the profit from those 30 should reasonably cover the time you spent making all 100.

Also, it should pay for the time you spend at craft fairs, replying to any commissions/ purchase requests, packaging time and going to the post office, any online marketing you might do (tumblr posts etc).

Peolle don’t often factor these in when thinking about the value of crafts they buy, which is a bit unfair.

yes there are other overheads but the thing is. basically all of those to some extent also apply to fibre arts

but sure. to be thorough. i spend 10h a week at my market stall and an hour... let's say 2 be generous with it... updating the shop

if i made 50 pairs of earrings and sold 15, the "materials" cost of 1 pair, to cover their unsold breathren, goes from 42p to £1.40

earrings are far from the only thing though, and account for less than half of the sales. so. we can say that about 5h of stall/shop time is covered by those

(plus the hour it took to make them)

sale price - materials cost but split over 6 hours of labour instead of 1.5 is still £12 an hour

#but then. i don't charge for the time organising crochet commissions either #so even charging for labour on jewellery that i DON'T charge for in fibre arts #and more than triple the material cost #which really is fudging the numbers as much as possible in one direction to try and even them out #i can get it down to oh. just over double the hourly rate for crochet #the reason i dont charge for that labour in fibre arts is bc it's expensive enough as is #the reason i dont count 'market time' as paid labour for the other stuff is bc i am doing the exact same thing i would be at home #(making stuff and talking shit)#but downstairs instead of up here #it's a 5h craft hang but occasionally someone hands you money #which i think is a lot of the reason most [makers] dont count it #especially if it's a regular stall setup like mine and not a one-off craft fair #there's no set up/take it down again time it just stays there #i walk downstairs i make jewellery with my friends for 5h and then i go back upstairs again #(hell quite honestly me and babs dont count the money we spend on supplies for the simple reason of We Would Be Buying Them Anyway)#crafting is a disease with no known cure

Micolash’s gross “fascination”

An interpretation post. Okay okay okay so! I was revisiting Yahar'gul again, and it got me thinking of an interpretation of Mico's attitude!

So, basically, interesting thing about him is that when you play as a 'male' hunter - he gives you this mocking laugher before the 'oooh, majestic!' line, but! If you play as 'female' - he doesn't give this laugher. Cuts straight to the line. We joked about it as 'hahaha Micolash respects women, what an irony!' but... I just thought, that maybe the truth is a bit more disgusting, in a way.

So, I’ve noticed that the prevalent models used for the corpses petrified from Mensis ritual are some adult (?) guy, a young BOY, and a female figure repeating the clothes used for an OLD woman!

Additionally, we could speculate that the typical prisoners that fell victims of School of Mensis and the victims used in the ritual were all male, at least from how their clothes were lacking the upper piece.

The only piece where I feel like this whole idea gives a crack is the family that Afflicted Beggar clearly killed - as it features the same reused assets for the dead bodies! The young boy, the dude in top hat, and the same set that lonely old dear uses.

But, again, coulda easily been a family of a father, a son and a grandma, and varied voice tracks for Micolash depending on whether hunter is ‘male’ or ‘female’ could mean a thing. So, what am I thinking?

I am thinking Micolash might have unhealthy, creepy fascination with ‘female’ humans - namely, their capacity of birth. Think of it - why would he only really use adult males and little boys AND women wearing roughly same kind of outfit as a typical OLD woman of Yharnam? These are all demographic that is incapable of carrying and birthing. Males by design, and old females just not capable anymore.

Basically, at this rate I feel like he had a command to spare little girls and young(ish?) women, because... just this. Because they could yet to carry and birth a child. :/ Something Micolash worships and is utterly fascinated with. Everyone and their dog already pointed out that ‘mensis means ‘a month’‘ and that they have subtle connection to ‘monthly cycle’, but it might take deeper meaning.

It is very easily possible that One Reborn was the result of rituals of Pthumerians left in Yahar’gul after Micolash fucked off - hence why they kidnapped someone like Adella; it mattered very little for them what ‘meat’ to use to create One Reborn, nor Micolash could bonk their head for snatching a wrong one! Needless to mention that One Reborn is called ‘failed evil god’ in internal files, whereas Amygdala is called just ‘evil god’, so... they just tried to create an Amygdala.

( x )

Soooo... yeah. It is possible that they would NOT, in fact, have kidnapped a FERTIIIILE (!!!!!!!!!!!) woman in Mico’s watch.

And kidnapping Mergo to beckon red moon does not, in fact, contradict his possible fascination with the pregnancy and birth. I remind you - it is very unlikely that Mergo was killed, rather, they could not get the true physical form, so essentially, their cord IS their form!

Like... Yeah, all the ‘haahaa GEYYYYY’ jokes aside. It is possible interpretation that Micolash just... worships the ‘mothership’ so much that he, personally, doesn’t dare to touch a woman that can, or could be, a MOOOOTHER in the future. It is kind of... twisted admiration I guess? Of the functions of female organism as an ‘incubator’. I always got a feeling from him that he treats men as equal or inferior but ‘respects women in a way you wish he didn’t’, but I feel like at this rate this attitude is HINTED at :/

#bloodborne #micolash host of the nightmare #bloodborne theory #fandomry rambles #oh to conclude a lore based on something as simple as reused assets #but anyways his varying voice lines.......#he doesn't take being beaten by a WOOOOOMAN!!!!!!!!!!! easily #'wahh wahh why she hunts me she should stay home and B I R T H' like bitch stfu

i gotta be honest i am stoked to be a janitor. i see mops and i get excited

#guys i have opinions on mops now #why does anyone use string mops. for instance.#they suck. they're heavy. use a flat mop for heaven's sake they're so much better and you can actually launder them???#i think janitor is the perfect job for me i fucking hate being looked at when i'm doing things #i loved working at the greenhouse where i could just do repetitive tasks all day and then go home and #shake the cuttings out of my boots & pockets and then go and immmmmmmmediatelly buy candy #it got mind numbing but it was NOT that bad. and with janitorial work the tasks are always getting switched up #you're mopping or you're vacuuming or you're wiping something up and there's always a different tool to learn how to use #i am NOT excited about the swing machine but apparently people don't use it much anymore anyways? so. yeah :3 #gonna work for the school district. gonna make friends with all the teachers who stay late after school. fuck yeahhhhh #maybe they'll tell me about school drama shit and i'll be like *leans on mop* oh yeah? :3c tell me more #i'm a simple animal with simple animal dreams #i DO dream of labour actually i love doing things #and actually since this is being treated like an actual profession these days you get treated way better #there's workplace safety and focus on ergonomics and proper training #i'm just really excited to get out there and do stuff

Taking a break from my ACTRA rage for a minute to bring you: FIRES IN BC!

Hey everyone,

As you may or may not know BC is on fire.

As usual the Central and South Okanagan are weathering the worst of it. If you are travelling for your vacation... don't. It isn't quite as egregious as the Maui fires or even the Yellowknife fires as we are far more prepared for disaster of this size, but we literally do not have room for you.

The "completely gone" is as of this morning, August 18th 2023.

Red = under evacuation, orange = on alert.

Stay home and when you come visit next year PUT YOUR FUCKING FIRES OUT. Or get one of the smokeless firepit options that exist so you don't fucking light us on fire in the first place.

Anyway, we'll ultimately be fine. This has been our summer for the last 10+ years. The infrastructure that Maui and Yellowknife lack exists here. We'll cry and we'll mourn, and we might lose a few people, but most of what is going to be lost is just stuff (I will likely be losing some heirlooms due to my storage locker being in West Kelowna at this rate and I cannot go get them due to being locked out for lack of payment b/c I forgot to pay August).

So if you want to help, put Maui and Yellowknife first.

#yellowknife wildfire #northwest territories #maui wildfires #hawaii #BC wildfires #Wildfires 2023 #Kelowna wildfire #don't go to Hawaii #don't come to the Okanagan #It's very fucking simple #stay the fuck home

this is your reminder that wanting to be a housewife, stay at home mom, homemaker, and/or homesteader, does not “hold feminism back”.

not all women want to be leaders or to have a crazy successful career. it’s okay to want the simple life, and to dream of true love, and a traditional lifestyle.

feminism is supposed to be about women having the right to choose what they want do with their life. yes, it’s great that there’s so many women who want to go out into the workforce and become successful in that way.

but that doesn’t mean you aren’t successful if you choose a more traditional lifestyle. love, joy, and happiness are the greatest forms of success humans are capable of. they’re the only forms that hold real substance beyond materialism. if yours comes from a simpler, more traditional life, that’s okay.

I was rewatching the bethcest episode with @richiemorty and I mentioned how some of space beth’s dialogue comes off so demeaning to home beth, like she looks down on her for (possibly) choosing to stay (“I don’t get it, you’re the house wife I’m the space lady but you’re the one who chewed me up and spit me out” & a lot of the dialogue from the s4 finale/s6 premiere as well) and they hit me with pointing out that the two beths are kind of like the two sides of feminism to a certain degree, with one saying being anything close to a house wife is demeaning and the other side saying doing whatever you want to as your choice as a woman is fine

#my mind was blown call me morty [I am booed off stage]#anyway as far as the beth love goes and it connecting to her self love I really hope we explore more into space beth learning to understand #and respect home beth for staying/being a present parent and putting effort to make it work in her family life #home beth shows signs of not being envious but in awe of space beth and how independent she is #but it’s clear that her independence has gotten to the point where she doesn’t think she needs her family at all #that’s slowly changing this season but she still tells them all to fuck off at the slightest thing #home beth respects herself and is comfortable and happy and proud of where she is with her family #she knows and us as the audaicne knows it’s not as simple as ‘woman gives up dreams to be mom and wife’#but space beth still looks down on her almost like she is ashamed of any part of herself that still needs or wants to be there for her fam #anyways let’s get that self respect ladiessss #rick and morty

Why is it that in a world where everything fits in your pocket i long for more complex ‘single use’ technology.

Not in the since that I can only use these things one time, but in the since that each thing only has one purpose.

A camera, film and digital.

An iPod/pDAP with good headphones.

A kindle.

A portable gaming system.

Don’t get me wrong, I love having a phone, I love technological advancement, I love having the world in my pocket.

But there’s something in the ritual of these things that had been part of everyday life that I didn’t get to experience just before my birth that I long for.

#very much so #idk man…. I think a simple phone that only texts calls and maybe has a web browser is the way to go really.#I love having tumblr in my pocket but does it make my dad to day life Better? no idea.#having YouTube while I do the dishes is a must but must it be on a phone?? I could use an iPad for this surely.#and that’s the thing!! an iPad like thing that stays at home is much nicer sounding for social media then having it everywhere #I’m I. a weird cyberpunk moon as I usually get in in the winter haha sorry #oh also a pDAP is what I call a portable digital audio player. most people just call it a DAP but I feel like that can be confused with DAC #(a digital audio converter which is something you use in a home system)#and idk man… the idea of carrying around a ds instead of having phone games sounds so nice.
