At this point, talks about "mutilated bodies" tell me everything I need to know about people's politics. I truly don't believe you can combine the idea of mutilated or degenerate bodies with anything even slightly progressive in terms of autonomy. If you believe yourself to be progressive or anything left of an unapologetic fascist, you frankly cannot truly entertain the idea that some bodies and people are inherently mutilated or degenerate. It is an inherently fascist idea.

#politics #things like this make me almost lose some faith in people #because that is a FUNDAMENTALLY reactionary conservative or even fascist mindset #hate hate hate when 'progressives' want to redeem degenerative theory and imply it can be part of their worldview #and too often the 'mutilated body' refers to women/trans people/PoC even/disabled people... #...wonder why that is! it can't be because those ideas are FUNDAMENTALLY reactionary (sarcasm) #i know i've talked about 'degenerative theory' and its fascist roots before but this shit still goes largely unchallenged imo #you cannot be an anti-fascist fascist. i don't want to see these viewpoints given a platform in so-called 'progressive' spaces #(and too often the 'mutilated bodies' refers to jews too - addendum that is important to add) #ask to tag (genuine) #fascism tw #anti fascism #anti facist

He’s currently negotiating with Edison to have John Adams control his body for a bit so he can have a lawyer for his trial

#whathasangramainyudonewrong #angra mainyu #angry mango #fgo #my personal hc is that all of the presidents share Edison’s brain space and in theory COULD take control #however THEY gave Edison their power so he needs to approve anyone else fronting the body

waoh boy I love to sleep in my bed in my bedroom with my husband and just simply not actually sleep even a little bit because my body is hurts

#cool and good! neat and fun #I started sleeping in the guest room to see if the old bed would be better #but it's been so long that at this point it was just habit and continually forgetting to clear a bunch of my laundry off my side of the bed #I thought!! maybe!! it would be fine!! maybe with a body pillow and with my pillow not overstuffed and with better sleep position...! #AND LIKE. I'd put up with Aches tbqh. but I can't FALL asleep so I'm just simply fucked #and justin snores which okay was always a problem for me but now also I am a couple of months used to not hearing it #so I CANNOT fall asleep because Sounds and then also that keeps me up long enough that MY BODY. IS HURTS. and then I REALLY can't sleep #and it's FRUSTRATING it's WEIRD it's not like the bed feels immediately uncomfortable to lay in #and like I end up with pain in my foot and I start to notice it when I'm not even laying ON that same hip #and other things like that where like. I can't even tell what exactly the problem even IS #the discomfort is all too weird and displaced around my body to draw any obvious conclusions about its source #and I swear I'm sleeping in the same positions as I do in the other bed! and trying to angle my weight off my hips! #I'm a side sleeper in theory but in practice I've become more of a belly sleeper because of the way I end up tilting my hips and shoulders #we have a king sized bed! it's not like I'm trying to squeeze into a smaller space even!! #AUUGHH. IT'S NOT FAIR. I DON'T WANNA BE A SEPARATE BEDROOMS COUPLE IT BUMS ME OUT SO BAD I WANNA CUDDLE MY BOY #I just don't know what else to do #HE sleeps better and more pain free in this bed than any other bed he's been in since we started dated (including at other houses etc) #so it's not as simple as 'get a new bed' either :') #about me

thinking about how my natural instinct to collect quotes and put them in places i can see everyday as reminders was always the right way to go. like isn't life all about reminding yourself. to eat, to drink water, to get some fresh air, to stop for a moment to properly breathe. and then more complex reminders about how i don't need to be perfect at things i do – i just need to do them, how if my anxiety makes me believe people are looking down on me and i know it's not a true fact since i have no evidence – then it's only a possibility that can be true 50% at most woth complete opposite – people actually very much liking me – as the rest 50% of the possibility, etc.

the trick here always was that your mind already knows all these things. but you live through a body which retains memory in the form of habits. and this body is like a pet of yours that cares for you and also asks to be taken care of. through little reminders and through softness is how this body-pet can thrive and naturally have more resources to take care of you.

#i hate most ppl in the 'spiritual' field who encourage drastic changes #or always just talk pure theory and leave out the BODY that we all have out of the equation #as if you are only your mind that thinks #there's always no space given for the body to readjust #; words generated by me #spilled thoughts

legitimately what the fuck was that

#ig im dissapointed lmao #sorry most of it i just kind of expected (bram regaining his body and stopping the vampires. fyodor dying bc there isnt really anything els #you can do with him. dazai and chuuya both alive) #mostly i wish aya awakened an ability give her oneee also i want to see how they manifest #idk we'll see soon where this goes ig but 1. i really wish fukuzawa had just died alongside fukuchi and 2. that there would be some calmer #chapters more focused on political repercussions rather than more fighting but the 2 hours later thing isnt really pointing to that huh #ill have to reread this arc at some point bc fukuchis and fyodors plan got so convoluted i was barely following it #and also 1. what abt sigma do they just. leave her there #i mean surely not bc she has info on fyodor but dazai really just did not care #and 2. yeah i wish fukuzawa died but now that he didnt. does he???? just keep the one order #and wheres that fucking page #and whats exactly on it #bc i dont think they can just rewrite anything 1. they dont know how much space is on it and theyll need a lot to fix this mess #2. god knows if they even can do anything or if theres some condition written in already thatd stop them #also asagiri for the love of god get into anticapitalism bc you cant just go into criticing states and military without talking about it #and i still need the hunting dogs dead even if i know its likely not going to happen #but how are you going to go all “absolute power corrupts” and “omg fukuci dont create a military state” and then just leave the super cops #running around and getting redeemed bc “they mean well” yeah they do but it doesnt matter #they are complicit in the state violence THEY ARE state violence #asagiri pls i can show you theory you havent even dreamed of #txt.

We're still a little unclear on the details of what exactly happened last night and there are two leading theories, but I've decided it's funnier to conclude that if you have 5mg of thc on an empty stomach it's apparently a complimentary trip straight to eeby deeby. I did not have a good time. It was such a low dose. What the hell.

#The other theory is that the piece of edible I ate had a higher concentration of thc #All I know is that my stomach felt sad and I wasn't hungry but I knew I needed to eat #And I knew weed would make me want to eat #So I had a little and made some pierogis and then had the other half of that single bar #3 hours later I was approximately in space and terrified I was having a hypotensive crisis #I didn't feel high just drugged and like I couldn't move my body #I forced myself to stand up just to prove I could still move #Apparently the wisdom is that if you feel the weed pulling you into unconsciousness you're supposed to let it #No Fucking Thank You #But also maybe next time #Hopefully there is no next time

Thinking about getting a nose piercing. Like a little stud on the side... on the right side. My cartilage piercing is on the left & I plan to wear a lil hoop on it once it's healed enough. And that just might be the only cartilage piercing I want? Bc I have my double lobes and I got only one cartilage piercing bc I like the idea of having just one lil hoop in one ear. Coincidentally on the same side as Vash's hoop, though I chose it long b4 getting into Trigun bc I part my hair to the right lol, which means a cartilage piercing would be more visible on the left.

Anyways I was thinking about it and if I have a side nose piercing on the right of my nose, then an eyebrow piercing on my left eyebrow... balanced with my hair on the right side... I think that'd be my ideal piercing setup tbh, at least for my face.

Could change my mind later, but I am Thinking about it

#speculation nation #i dont rly wanna get Too many piercings ya kno. also theyre expensive.......... #i think this would give me a good setup without having to spend Too much more money #and of course i want a bellybutton piercing. and ive thought about a tongue piercing but i dont think it's a good idea #i have questionable tooth health and id probably find a way to chip a tooth with it lol #lip piercings arent even a question for me bc i know they would drive me fucking insane #super hot on other people but i like piercings as an out of the way sort of adornment #and lip piercings i would be aware of it Always #like snake bites... that kind of thing... good on others but not for me. #so In Theory i wanna get. 3 more piecings. and then i will be satisfied. #and Then theres the tattoo i want to get......🤔 #potentially more than one. i have an idea that would be cathartic to me but i dont think im ready for it yet. #ultimately i just want much more body mods lol. the 5 ear piercings are great but i want More... #maybe i'll ask about the nose piercing when i go in to get the bar changed on my cartilage #probably should space them out a bit. for both healing and money's sake lol

found a bunch of old voice memos and this is the first time i've listened to my own voice and thought yeah it makes so much sense that people have loved this person . woah

#personal #i was singing a song under another song (saw my wings with the bodies in the gutter). there is someone else and i cant #recognise their voice . i think maybe i was drunk and maybe so were they . i have no idea who they are but their voice is so pretty. #i ask them if theyre ok and they ask if im sure im okay with this. and then they say see you soon and theres the sound of the door. #theres the voice of someone else after this too. they say listening to chase atlantic feels like sex . i have no idea who this person is. #this file is full of strings rising and falling. reverb of a massive space. some symphony inside interrupted by another symphony. #i remember laying on the floor of the orchestra hall to listen and to hide. i remember laying my hand on the floor and thinking i could #recognise this piece just by the way the ground vibrates. #i've been thinking a lot about mereology. sorry for not talking about nihilism the past week - everyone around me has been falling apart. #this month i have watched others be stricken by grief. the other side of the equation. one day i will create a poem about the way holes are #one whole part. the way disconnects are connected to the fabric of absence. (i saw your guts without the skin attached) #i could hear how in love i was when i asked the unknown voice if they would like some water. i blew out the candles and one stayed lit. #you don't need to tell me. forever and ever. strictly fall for academics and people with a passion. asked my mathematician about manifolds #and he asked me about his hair. i will wake up tomorrow if only it is to spend half an hour making tea. the concept of going to my country #is an oncoming train with a minute's delay. i told them i want to be their friend and they told me theyd like to meet up soon #and test how deep they can bite like good friends do. do you feel ashamed of my degree? do you feel ashamed of #your dry lips? skull fast-tracked to the floor. i have a jar of hand-picked dried damask roses for tea. ill tell you about k-theory until #you shut me up.

Could there be a Rift, or the remnants of one, in the Haldren Sea?

Is it permanently closed, or only dormant? Where could it possibly lead?

Please don’t share or screenshot this post without credit.

Disclaimer: this is just a parallel I noticed, which could obviously be very wrong. Thanks as always to @wingedblooms for listening when I send her random quotes and name definitions, I appreciate you so much. 💜

Spoilers: ACOTAR and CC series to date.

A while ago I was talking with @wingedblooms and @silverlinedeyes about the possibility that the gates or rifts between SJM's worlds could be closed - or "off the hook," to use an outdated term - due to a depleted power source, possibly because the three death god siblings were placed in strategic locations around Prythian in order to drain the land of the power required to activate them. I keep going back to Stargate, I know - not sorry - but it really does remind me of the ZPM crystals that were required to establish the long-distance wormholes between different galaxies (ie. in Stargate Atlantis). If they were drained, then the gates - or whatever else they were powering, like wards - couldn't function.

He was accustomed to cold, had explored as deep as his mer’s gifts would allow without his skull cracking like an egg, but this northern stretch of the Haldren Sea was different. It sucked the life from one’s bones, its grayness creeping into the soul. Though swimming would be a Hel of a lot less nauseating. - HOSAB, chapter 5

Light and dark and gray and light and dark and gray— - ACOMAF, chapter 57

I messaged @wingedblooms about this a little while back, but I've been wondering if the Haldren Sea, which was referred to as grey and leeching/sucking life from Tharion's bones etc, was where a Rift could have been; though whether that Rift, if it does exist, would have connected to Prythian or Erilea, or even somewhere else, is the question.

Interestingly - or maybe only coincidentally, it could be either - the name "Halden," which sounds very similar to "Haldren" (as in the sea of which Tharion spoke), means half Danish. Could this be a hint that the sea, or some part of it, is half in Midgard, and half elsewhere? Or is it reflected in the grey colour - grey being halfway between light and dark?

Regardless of where the Rift travels, the language reminds me of what happened to Elain when she visited the Court of Nightmares, during ACOSF.

Elain in black was ridiculous. Yes, she was beautiful, but the color of her long-sleeved, modest gown leeched the brightness from her face. It wore her, rather than the other way around. And he knew the cruelty of the Hewn City troubled her. But she hadn’t hesitated to come. When Feyre had offered to let her remain home, Elain had squared her shoulders and declared that she was a part of this court—and would do whatever was needed. So Elain had let her golden-brown hair down tonight, and pinned it back with twin combs of pearl. He’d never once in the two years he’d known her found Elain to be plain, but wearing black, no matter how much she claimed to be part of this court … It sucked the life from her. - ACOSF, chapter 57

If the Court of Nightmares/Hewn City is an offshoot of the Dusk Court, as I've theorised before, could there be a gate or rift there that was trying to leech Elain's magic to establish itself, and that was why Cassian noted her appearance? Or was it the Court trying to revive itself with hypothetically compatible magic?

The similar language shared between the Book of Breathings' talk of "light and dark and gray" in ACOMAF, and Feyre's description of Elriel's Truth-Teller scene in ACOWAR, "light and dark, the space between their bodies a blend of the two. The only bridge of connection… that knife," which many consider to indicate some sort of Carranam bond - ie. a transfer of power, perhaps the grey? - between Elain and Azriel could possibly be significant here.

What, or whom, could end up acting as the bridge of connection between realms?

Will anyone other than Bryce traverse the space between? Is it relevant that Papa Archeron named his seafaring ships after his daughters?

When do we finally see Hel?

It sounds like it's all coming together, no?

anyways is 35 too early for a midlife crisis? asking for a friend

#i'm just having this overwhelming sense of #this isn't what i expected my life to be #this isn't what it was supposed to be #in so many ways big and small #and the terrifying suspicion that if i want to find a glimpse of happiness then i must accept that instead of dreaming of what could have be #*been #to let go of the 'I just need to get through this week' #and to accept that life is sometimes just this endless slog of work and dishes and laundry and the fucking litter box #day after day after fucking day #like #if i want to make clothes that look nice on me #then i need to work with my actual measurements and not off of somethign 2 sizes smaller #even if that sometimes feels like so much lipstick on a pig #yeah idk im really down on the whole body thing right now #covid left me with no appetite for two weeks or so and then it came back with a vengeance and ughhhhhh i guess yes set point theory is right #though i will also admit that i'm using food to fill some other empty spaces in my life right now #anyway yeah the trousers i was gonna size up - the fabric looks kinda shit anyway with so many threads pulled out by cats etc #everything is a fucking symbol these days huh

the absolute ecstasy I felt when I went to explore what I thought was a stylized black hole (the white hole station), couldn't go into it, and then connected the dots when I found the black hole in brittle hollow

#every year or so I have a couple weeks were I hyperfixate on black holes and what realistic ''warp'' technology would look like #and though I usually forget most of it when I move on I DO remember the theory of white holes #that a black hole is like a tunnel rather than an orbiting body #if I remember right that is a HOTLY debated hypothesis (and thus not a theory) but to see it used so unexpectedly #regardless of real life implications is so so so exciting to me #also I landed on the interloper and my ship got sucked away by the sun. so i suffocated to death on a ball of ice lmfao #i love this game so much #the controls are incredible for how complicated space travel is and it takes some getting used to but its like. second nature now #i get so freaked out at the possibility of falling into open space tho it always gives me a heart attack #so exploring interloper and the white hole was TERRIFYING cause I really just had to like. abandon my ship and allow myself to die horribly #i love this game man
