Before my beloved and I moved in together they were living with roommates in a place that didn't have a bathtub. Now, a reasonable person might conclude from this that baths would be out of the equation in a home with only one standing shower and no tub.

But these people weren't quitters. Naturopathic doctors and acupuncturists they were dedicated to treating their bodies well and one of the ways they liked to do that was hydrotherapy. Most people are familiar with this through things like polar bear plunges. You sit in a hot tub then jump in freezing water.

It's supposedly good for you and they were way into it. But again, no tub. They'd do hydro showers but it just wasn't the same. These people were not quitters, though. (One of them is the boob soap person, so it really isn't a surprise that she goes hard on everything). So they got what looked like two big metal old timey tubs but which were actually animal food troughs and set them up in the garage. They set up a water heater and god knows how they emptied the tub after, I think there was hoses involved? A pump maybe? I honestly can't remember. Anyway! Voila, hydrotherapy on demand.

I was not aware of this. So when I came over after a long day and my beloved said we should take a bath I was extremely puzzled. I only knew about the one shower. They showed me the garage tubs. I did want a bath and I wasn't really sure about the setup, but honestly I'll try anything once if only for the story, so I agreed.

Fun fact about me though. I haaaate being cold. I've been 0% body fat most of my life with skin barely keeping my bones enclosed. I'm always cold. My favorite activity at the time was sitting directly in front of space heaters. My shower temperatures turn me lobster red and make my beloved cringe. Willingly dunking myself into cold water is the antipathy of my entire deal.

On the night in question I happily submerged into the warm tank, pleasantly surprised by the big silly improvised tub. Which again was meant for livestock. My knees bumped companionably against my beloved as we soaked in the hot water. After a while they rose to go into the cold water. "You don't have to," they told me.

But I was haunted. I wouldn't be doing hydro if I just stayed in the warm tub. Maybe hydro was amazing. It has all these health benefits. I desperately didn't want to but I stood up with them. We were having this nice intimate evening in the garage, just us, I felt safe. I was gonna do it.

They stepped easily into the cold tub, dunking matter of factly into the frigid water. I went to step. I did. I really really tried. My foot went in and I started shrieking, my progress arrested by the total state of shock I entered when my warm toasty foot hit that smug arctic water tension. My beloved started laughing as my pitch ascended the deeper my foot went into the cold water.

I started loudly narrating my discomfort as my foot touched the bottom and I willed my other foot up to join it. "THIS IS VERY COLD," I yelled, "IT'S SO COLD I THINK I MIGHT DIE HOW ARE YOU JUST CASUALLY SITTING IN THIS FREEZING COLD WATER?! I'M DYING- I THINK I'M DYING! I'M DYING BUT WE'RE HERE, TOGETHER! I CAN DO THIS! I CAN DO THESE EVEN THOUGH IT'S SO COLD ALL MY MOLECULES HAVE COMPRESSED INTO A SOLID STATE!"

I ended up with both feet planted in the cold tub, water up to my shins, bellowing and panting while my beloved laughed so hard they couldn't breathe. I hunkered over the cold water, squatting like a frozen gargoyle.

My beloved was trying to psyche me up while I willed my body to obey me. In a sudden jerky drop like a puppet whose strings have been cut I plummeted my body into the cold and let out a shriek that I’m sure could have shattered glass and then leapt up out of the water at a speed relative to a rocket achieving space flight. I didn’t like it.

When we got back inside my beloved's roommates were collapsed on the ground with tears in the their eyes from how hard they'd been laughing. They and probably every neighbor down the block had heard my pterodactyl screeching and narration because the garage was not remotely soundproof.

Hanahaki Speedrun:

Danny comes from a world where hanahaki exists and is very common. Then he moved to the DC universe where hanahaki doesn't exist and nobody has heard of it. Danny falls in love with Bart Allen. He would have taken at least a few more weeks to figure that out if the extreme pain didn't give away that there were suddenly blood blossom seeds in his lungs. He isn't going to survive to the end of the day and he only just fell in love that day. Those feelings are new and he hasn't had time to think about/process/understand how he feels about Bart and he's not going to get time to adjust to these new feelings before he dies. Forcing the seeds out of his system will take away his ability to ever feel any kind of love again, and that would be worse than dying all the way. So He tells his team that the blood blossom seeds in his lungs are going to kill him by the end of the day, but forcing them out of his system will have irreversible affects that will doom him to a fate worse than death and change who he is forever. They're trying to process that they're about to lose their friend/teammate who they've gotten pretty close with in the past few months, and Bart tells Danny that he loves him. He apologizes for making this about his own feelings, but he couldn't bare the regret of losing the boy he's in love with having never told him how he feels. Danny coughs up all the seeds and some blood and he's going to survive. Nobody fully understands what just happened, Danny tells the team that he's not dying anymore but is still in pain from the blood blossom seeds and should get away from them quickly and that he needs a few hours to rest and recover from almost dying and to process what just happened. He gives Bart a kiss on the cheek and leaves to go lay down. Bart cleans up the blood and seeds that Danny coughed up and everyone is very confused, worried, sad, happy, lots of emotions and trying to stop crying. Danny explains what hanahaki disease is and how it works. Everyone needs some time to process that. Danny and Bart go to another room to talk about what this means for them. While they just went through a falling in love, almost dying, and confession speedrun, they should probably take at least a little more time in figuring out their relationship now that Danny's not dying 'cause he still needs to let it fully sink in that he's in love.

holy shit what a finale. what a series. what beautiful characters. I got my horror, my darkness and a buttload of tragedy, but also unexpected love (oh my god the kids! and the divorced couple! patia calling them family!) and a lot of humor.

I can't believe cerrit made it out. I can't believe loquatius and laerryn got back together to a backdrop of flames and ruin.

so much love for laerryn's type of arrogance and overconfidence and ambition. constructing a means to shift a leyline and shattering two primordials. she was perfect. so much love for zerxus' utter hubris and faith in himself, trying to redeem the lord of hell, and the shattering consequences it had. so much love for the stoic keeper of many secrets and her alterations on many minds. the power, the belief in knowledge, the futility. so much love for a sharp-eyed father, half-lost in a city of magic beyond his ken. for a man that bent his devotion to the ideal of truth for a woman he loved like no other. for a former pirate who reached the city of his dreams and who was willing to draw lines in the sand to his friends. for a dm that was relentless in everything, in the best way.

my heart is full

The elderly are the biggest gossips in Mondstat. They've mostly got nothing else to do, and the people with nefarious plans don't think anyone would listen to the elderly and their rambling.

Kaeya was smart enough to figure out the value of what the elderly in Mondstat gossip about. Gaining their favoritism is simply just a wonderful bonus.

...the free snacks and knitwear he receives from them are also a great addition

...and maybe the eldery pinching his cheeks and warm hugs make his work days a bit better

...alright, the elderly have a special place in Kaeya's heart, so the people better watch what they say against them or else they have to face Mondstat's number one candidate for grandson-in-law!

#kaeya #kaeya alberich #genshin impact #kaeya headcanons #kaeya and the elderly of mondstat supremacy #he has knitted coasters from elderly grandmas #and a load of exaggerated stories from the grandpas #and maybe thats the affection he craves from the adults since he was young as well

just want to say this is an impressive work of mug scholarship

and that I'm probably not qualified to write it but I hope there's a story where Steve visits the trailer during a peaceful time and is like... why do you guys have all those mismatched mugs hanging up on the wall (because at his house everything matches or it's Out) and Eddie is like EXCUSE YOU every one of those mugs has a Significance and a Story attached to it, this is a family history, and proceeds to relate the story for any mug Steve points out (with gestures, character voices and sound effects)

to the end of his days Steve isn't sure whether those were real pre-existing stories or Eddie was making them up on the spot because he's good at improvising but either way it was enjoyable to listen to his tales

maybe at some point when he's pretty much a fixture there Steve brings in a mug he chose and diffidently asks if there could be room for one for the story of how he and Eddie met.

Eddie (banging a nail into the wall): there is now

#steddie #what's on the mug? you decide #I mean if Steve's visiting the trailer in a peaceful time we're already in an AU #their how we met story could be quite different #I personally am going for a 'they met at the mall in 1985' so it's a Donald Duck mug because Steve had a sailor suit on at the time #oh also #for a canon except Eddie survives scenario #you know how some people make vases and glasses by cutting down empty bottles #Steve and Eddie have a pair of 'champagne flutes' made of beer bottles with the lids still on and superglued to coasters #the bottoms cut off and the beer emptied out #they will happily agree with anyone who says they're hideous #'they represent our first meeting!' #and they drink a toast with them on all anniversaries and special occasions

Random hits!!

I wanna write but, I don't know,

What, a lot on my mind and

Not a lot in mind at all

I am livin' the past at moment with

The fear of future in my mind

I am a mess; a complete mess

These randoms strike to me

Again and again wish it'd go away

And stop making me depressed

I am at anywhere surounded

By people all the time even in

My empty room and yet feel so lonely

I am speaking my mind or

I am speaking my heart or

It'd be better if I could just

sceeam my lungs out

These random hits just sucks!

my local theme park, lagoon, opened a 3d-shooter/roller coaster hybrid last weekend. It's in a big fake mountain, disney-style.

They've used the logo and its aesthetic to market this thing, and the logo is what's on all the merchandise, which all looks very epic. It did a very good job of hiding from me, a furry, that the good guys on this ride are cartoon furries (they fight cartoon skeleton soldiers).

Possibly the best thing about this ride isn't even on the ride but in the queue: an animatronic cat lady!

she is expositing a backstory, but the line for the passholder preview I was at went right past her, so I caught none of it

#lagoon #theme parks #animatronics #im being a bit of a goof on this post because i love furries and animatronics and animatronic furries (and skeletons) #but seriously this ride is quite impressive for a non-chain minor local park #3d shooters are my least favorite genre of dark ride #but the non 3d-screen-shooter elements in this ride are delightful #(like the roller coaster bits the special effects the sets the skeletons etc) #and its now my favorite of the genre supplanting knotts berrytales/iron reef #(also having gone on toy story mania; dca spider-man; and ninjango) #(and it really shows something that im namedropping disney knotts and legoland in a negative comparison to fucking lagoon) #(i love lagoon but comparable to the giants it generally is not)

Seeing your cat about to throw up, even saving them from falling over to one side they're so compromised: Oh, my darling baby, my sweet angel, I'm not ready to lose you, please don't die, please don't let this be something serious

Ten seconds later, seeing it's because they ate plastic, which is now on the floor along with other things: …you absolute knob. I hope you fucking learned something from this.

#diogenes #what the hell man #you're killing your poor parent #i'm just baby #i can't handle this emotional roller coaster #cats #kitties #my cats #my pets #true terry stories #he will learn nothing from this

one thing about me is that i am so good at hunting down items. show me a random tiktok of a musical clock from 2013 and i can get you a sku and the cheapest ebay listing in 30 minutes

#speak friend and enter #i saw this tt of a wall clock that played broadway songs and thought it was really cool but the creator wouldn't say what the model was #so i zoomed in on the vid until i could see a brand name and other identifying info and found the exact model on ebay for $120 #and now i'm fighting the urge to buy it. do i have space for a clock that plays america from west side story every six hours? no #but do i want it? yes #i also use this skill to identify roller coasters. show me a cedar fair ad and i can tell you the make model and park

[idekka]

This was really cute

#enstars #adonis otogari #koga oogami #from 'shards of time: white' #i still dont know a lot about the story or characters but i like this game so far! #it was also super cute that he got on the roller coaster with the little kid and did the 🤘 pose

[mabelmidnight-takeover]

thinking about how if i had chosen architecture for college I'd have probably spent the last three years making a percy jackson themed park just for funsies

#it'd be a section on disneys hollywood studios #there would be a tunnel of love water ride with a fall in the exact moment percy and annabeth would be flying over the gates #a capture the flag ride that would be either like toy story mania or peter pans flight and it ended with percy being claimed #either having the 12 cabins or making it seem like the cabins are in the distance while the main area is the big house #campers running around with capture the flag suits every friday #a whole simulator on grovers perspective when he's using the winged shoes #a peter pans flight inspired ride telling tlt story #a restaurant inspired by the dining pavilion and having the most diverse menu you could imagine #blue food! selling ambrosia and nectar that taste like chocolate chips cookies! #like disney you have SO much potential on your hands #this could be the coolest theme park in the whole world if they play their cards right #and the amount of different and cool rides they could get inspired by the other books #a sun chariot roller coaster a blackjack ride an oracle attraction similar to the turtle talk with crush #maybe i should study architecture bc im going insane with this #pjo #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #A WHOLE ATTRACTION WHERE YOU GET CLAIMED

Yeah see I don’t believe this comes from Tree at all

#my opinion right now is that there’s a lot of stuff we don’t know #like I don’t think we got the whole story when it comes to Matty and Taylor #let’s be patient and enjoy the roller coaster ride
