#obvs u should still let them do ur makeup but like #honestly? HONESTLY?? byan has always done their own makeup... but they've always wanted to have someone do it for them #like they've just always wanted someone they could have fun playing with makeup with #you know? they've never had that :< #teach them some new tricks!! show them how they can improve!! give them a look they wouldn't give themself!! #the idea is one that makes me v soft... I should just tag this as a wishlist item tbh lmao #have I ever used a tag like that here??? I dunno but I should start #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don’t @ me. #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ wishlist.

visiting the hometown

(want everyone to know this edit came to me in a dream and i changed the lore just to do it)

#in the dream i was like editing it but i was also there? it was weird. it started as a dream about lawson in a zombie apocalypse #ok important tags first so i can write an essay #ts4 #ts4 render #ts4 edit #the sims 4 #beckett #lawson #blood sports #but yeah if you haven't been here before beckett and lawson never knew each other as kids #if they did it would be a butterfly effect and mess w a bunch of other plot details. so i decided to work around it #also if ur new they've had a friends with benefits thing going on for a long time but lawson is in love with him. beck doesn't know #originally beckett was put in foster care as a baby bc of neglect and was bounced around foster homes for years #he was a troubled child always getting in fights a kleptomaniac undiagnosed autism etc etc foster families tried and just didn't want him #then when he was around 12 a very nice old lady named cora got him and they ended up forming a great bond they loved each other #she was going to adopt him then when beckett was around 15 or 16 his birth mother reentered the picture and wanted him back #it started a really nasty legal battle and cora died. we can't say for sure it was the stress of this fight but beckett certainly thinks so #anyway he did go back with his birth mother and things got really bad for him. he dropped out of school started doing worse crimes and so o #but none of that is what even changed #now LAWSON is also from west virigina like beckett. it's a small town lawson was new he had no friends #he was a very clingy possessive child who cried and threw tantrums so much #he met beckett and the rest is history. beckett didn't really mind how lawson acted he didn't really find him annoying like everyone elsedi #besides he didn't have friends either #lawson has wealthy parents they were welcoming to beckett at first if a little apprehensive. then he stole something from their house #and lawson wasn't allowed to hang out with him anymore. but he still did in secret. they still have no idea that beckett's even still aroun #or just how involved lawson is with him and his. activities 😬 they just think he's their good little college boy #in the original beckett moved to Not Gotham City when his mother got him back but in this version lawson is going to college there #and beckett's been distant from him for a while things are awful for him and lawson says hey. what if you gave the city a try. and he did #so really you could say the events of blood sports are all lawson's fault the end

How to start crocheting for free: casually mention to any people you know that you really want to learn to crochet, but you've never gone and bought the supplies for it. Eventually you will mention this to someone who either crochets themself, or have a family member who does, or someone who tried to crochet but then did not like it. You will then be gifted a grab-bag of hooks and yarn that have been sitting unused in someone's closet.

#lazy witchblogging #this probably applies to knitting as well #yarn people: YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT #YOU KNOW YOU'VE HAD THIS EXACT SITUATION HAPPEN #or you mention that you DO crochet #and then suddenly someone sees an opportunity to get rid of that yarn they've been hoarding but will never use

not a fan of dadow but shit man it does kinda make sense sometimes idk

#i mean if you were immortal and had a friend from the future wouldn't you look for them once they're born just to at least see if they're #doing okay?? #like idk what dadow is about in the fandom bc i dont really care about that content like it sounds so wrong and bad when were talking about #shadow and silver from the timeline where silver goes back in time all those times bla bla bla but in a fixed future? where he never does #cause they've fixed the past and made sure it's okay and silver is born and its like an alternate universe i guess? time travel fucked up #i mean shadow would probably check on him i guess #and knowing that child he would be alone eating rocks and drinking gasoline from the streets no matter if its a good future or a bad one #so shadow would either take care of him or find someone who can #lmfao i dont wanna say knuckles but fuck man i do wanna say knuckles but also idk

me literally every time Ki Cheol and Jun Mo are less than three feet away from each other/interact in any way shape or form:

#tv: the worst of evil #the worst of evil #wi ha joon #wi ha jun #ji chang wook #kdrama #local gay watches TWOE (and ships everyone within sight).txt #local gay watches k-dramas.txt #more accurately why are you bisexual but ykw that's obvious. Ki Cheol had bi lighting in the club when he was working as a DJ #and Jun Mo looks like he is in desperate need of d*ck at any moment to calm him down. he also loves his wife but yk you can't #convince me he didn't lay eyes on Ki Cheol and go 'fml. he shouldn't be this hot fml' #even better i raise you the idea that the reason he's so pissed about Ki Cheol and Eui Jeong knowing each other is not just bc she's #his wife and she never told him but bc he wishes it was him. he is jealous af we need to lock all three of them in a room together #and not let them out until they've announced their engagement istg

*person who repeatedly complains that all actual play is D&D voice* Oh I stopped listening to TAZ after Balance and dipped in for Ethersea but never really got into Amnesty or Steeplechase or any of their mini-series. No, I haven't checked out Candela Obscura or any of the CR one shots...heard weird things about the Monsterhearts one. Yeah I'm more into D20 now...no, haven't been keeping up with Mentopolis.

#like in all seriousness in my experience a lot of people want D&D but they don't want it to be called D&D #the reason people got so weird about the use of Good Society is that acofaf was like. fully d&d-compatible with good society as an add-on #bc the two systems operate in totally different spheres #so you had full d&d but also a second system running so you could be like no this is good society but it was clearly both. #also this is just like. the huge names that have done non-d&d stuff (i love naddpod but they've never done much in other systems) #we're not even getting to the VtM or Motherlands or various PF SRD podcasts just to name ones i'm broadly aware of #(it's similar to how people complained about CR's cast not being diverse (valid) but then were like anyway stan naddpod) #if i were to get REALLY into it and i am bc i didn't sleep enough and i'm drinking straight cold brew concentrate at 7:02 am #it's also why people are so vile about new character art #it's either entitled people who want a made-to-order story like it's a chipotle bowl or something and are mad they will never get it #or people with genuine complaints they don't know how to or will not voice #so they latch onto a detail that really isn't the problem.

unfriendly reminder that ai-generated fanart is not actually fanart: it's not a labour of love from a fan, it's a product generated by a machine, and moreover, it screws over actual artists and cosplayers, as the images are created illegally and unethically using their work.

PLEASE STOP SUPPORTING PEOPLE WHO USE MIDJOURNEY AND SIMILAR SOFTWARE TO CREATE A PRODUCT THEY CAN PASS OFF AS FANART. I WILL NEVER STOP BEING ANNOYING ABOUT THIS. GO FOLLOW ACTUAL ARTISTS AND COSPLAYERS AND SUPPORT THEM INSTEAD.

#fuck ai art #my posts #fandom ramblings #'but how do i know??' #a lot of people have no problem tagging it with 'ai art' 'midjourney' etc #also if they've had a blog for a while and never shared any art but suddenly they're posting tons of hyperrealistic fanart every day #SUSPECT #i literally don't give a fuck about how midjourney can help you make your vision come true #stop it

i want to defend blue team's strat bc i feel like people are (validly) annoyed by how hard to counter it was (i really think tubbo would have claimed them even if etoiles and roier hadn't glitched bc he was so well positioned [tho we'll never know weep 😭]) but if you're annoyed, congrats! that's how blue team's felt the past 2 days lol while ~technically~ they could counter by defending spawn like etoiles and roier tried to they a) don't have that many players online at that time naturally (etoiles and tubbo having to be on a 4-5am is not healthy even if possible) and b) it's VERY easy—even without doing tubbo's log strat—to have one person run in spawn and claim them all in <2 secs in the last 10 minutes and have the countdown make it impossible to counterclaim. like REALLY easy. and if they've already claimed the contracts, there is literally nothing they can do but watch the other team win which is VERY frustrating. so it's purposefully irritating/dirty strategy that protests the late login being so op. i'm pretty sure tubbo complained on day 2 that the game rewards waiting until the last 15 minutes to claim rewards unless they balanced it better. blue then lost to the same balancing issue two days in a row. and only tomorrow, on day 5 is it getting fixed. that's the slowest any balancing issue has been implemented so far!! (the % changes daily to fit the gameplay, they gave more detail on the points breakdown the day after blue asked, they added the spawn safe zone today WHILE bad was spawnkilling) blue team simply took the late login strat to its logical extreme, and i think that it really highlights why the game is changing to avoid this outcome!! but blue suffered for like 3 days from this unfairness so i, personally, think it's well-deserved for them to use it to their advantage on the last day it's possible!!

#qsmp #qsmp purgatory #qsmp soulfire #unfortunately i don't think green or red realized how annoying this was because blue's been the only team to really have to deal with it #like red doesn't realize how op the strat is bc they've never had to counter it #and it's just the logical thing for them to do given how they log on #you KNOW they haven't hardcore calculated the game mechanics like blue has lmao #and we watched etoiles on stream realize he couldn't claim his own rewards again (and make it harder for blue to claim) #and due to the glitch they didn't get to see how fast and easy it would be to claim contracts #also and this is an aside i literally don't think anyone on blue saw that the contract rewards is changing tomorrow lmao #tho guys are still mentally preparing to slog thru to the end i'm sure of it

when i was a kid the church songs i gravitated twoards were definitely always the ones like "how great thou art" and "on eagle's wings" - basically anything that mentioned the natural world or a cool animal. songs of faith and tradition did nothing for me, amazing grace was a nothing song, the bread of life was a NOTHING song. but a voice crying out in the wilderness? oh?? say more

and then they dont say more. and you have to figure out whether you believe regardless. and that's what religion is

#this sounds like pessimism but i swear it's not it's just a religious breakthrough i had driving to work yesterday #it's soo much easier to believe in religion when you know it's fake. that doesnt make sense #what i mean is: with christianity. the expectation is that it will Return somehow . he died but he'll be back #if he'd died and stayed dead and there was never any expectation of his return. he'd be easier for me to believe in #does that make sense #because he's not this nebulous future state. he's gone and we'll never know anything else. but the things which are sacred to the god #those still remain #the crows outside. the mice i trap. the roadsides i clear of litter in spring. the crick. the eagles again. the way they've rebounded #that's real and i believe in it and it is sacred . and i can do something tangible about that and that's worship #towards a unified theory of my own spiritual believes - finally - because i remembered what i was on the verge of believing when i was 13

idc what anyone says, but jason todd would get himself legally resurrected (because as much as he hates it he kinda needs a legal identity sometimes) and not tell anyone about it, because the last thing he wants is to deal with the publicity of being bruce wayne’s adopted son again (he dealt with it before his death and hated it so much so being perceived as dead by the public was probably great for him).

jokes on him though, because barbara found out about it and told the rest of the batfam, and now he has no excuse to get out of anything.

last night's episodes of totnt mostly irritated me with very bad pacing, which is a shame, because I was so charmed by the lead up. there have been too many redundant meetings and also too many people stopping to monologue about how sad it will be if Lee Yeon dies. >:( I was ready to have brainworms for at least two weeks, show. Also, going into the final episodes there has still been no actual explanation for why the main character abandoned his kid brother on a burning mountain with a dead puppy aside from "he was very sad." im beginning to question whether he was locked in a hell dimension at all.

#on the bright side Lee Rang was annoying again like you don't understand people who have not watched this show #this man is SO annoying #did Lee Yeon think the kid was dead after their house burned down? #because surely! surely!!! #when your forest your little brother lives in burns to the ground you try to check up on him #unless you've been locked in a hell dimension which is what I had been assuming happened #it's also weird that they've gone through a lot of trouble to establish that Lee Yeon's devoted bff/nanny is great with kids #and yet! #we never see him with kid Lee Rang in the flashbacks and they don't come across as having been particularly close #like why #if you personally cannot deal with your sadness for long enough to pick your kid up #would you not at least send your bro who is great with kids? #i do like that the dude seems to have learned from his experiences with this family #Lee Rang rocks up sans child and he's just like WHERE IS THE CHILD DID YOU LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE #press says totnt #oooh ok I think I've figured it out #Lee Rang knows where he went #he just never heard from him again after he left #and Lee Yeon did said he tried to come back for him #so sequence of events seems to be #Lee Yeon told Lee Rang he was leaving #for samdocheon #possibly even why he was quitting being a mountain god #he thought Lee Rang would be fine on the mountain by himself with his puppy which #fine ok it seems like he was on his own with the puppy a lot anyway #he was depressed and uninvolved after that point but did not intend to ditch the kid entirely #when he found out the mountain had burned he #went back to look for him but Lee Rang had already booked it #the next he heard of him was when his face popped up on the most wanted list #and he'd either thought he was dead or had been looking for him up to that point

"It looked like a good day for setting fence posts, and my mother said so while taking the biscuits from the oven. 'Some morning early, when I can get away, I want you to come with me along the edge of the hill in the wood-lot," she continued. "When the shadows of the trees begin to come down the slope, as the sun rises you feel the turning of the earth. You feel the whole globe under your feet rolling into the sunlight. . . . That's something I found one morning when I was driving the calves to pasture. I've been saving it up for you. I wonder if you've seen a more beautiful dawn in any of the places you've been.'

On my fingers I count the dawns I have seen--memorable, just in being dawns. Sleepy-eyed dawn from the Paris markets after a night of dancing; mist dawn against which I was just to late to see the minarets of Constantinople--all the fault of the stupid stewardess who didn't wake me in time; one startling moment of color on the hills around the Dead Sea before they went colorless in merciless heat; sudden dawn like a clap of light over the freezing-cold Syrian desert. Four dawns in twenty years. No, I do not know dawns as my mother does."

-- Rose Wilder Lane, "A Place in the Country" (1925)

#little house #rose wilder lane #laura ingalls wilder #a little house sampler #i dove into the book seriously this morning #intended to read just the first couple of pieces and kept reading 'just one more' until i've got about 2/3 read #most of laura's pieces are familiar from her farm columns #though there's a couple of early versions of little house stories that show a lot of her voice did get through there #rose's are fascinating #i can't quite wrap my head around her #sometimes she'll seem neurotic and restless and judgey and sophisticated and a bit pretentious #and then she writes some of the most beautiful nostalgic pieces #showing so much love of home and family and the simple joys of life #this piece might be my favorite so far because it grapples with those two sides #after four years as a foreign correspondent she's back at home in mansfield #and she has a new appreciation for her parents and the work they do and the life they've built #now that she's had her adventures and is no longer a restless teen looking to get away from rural poverty #even in the other pieces it's fascinating how much love of her family comes through when you know about the difficult relationships #i should share some quotes from the piece about mary when i get the chance #(also i'm very upset that she didn't write down the story of why she and her parents never read the last book in the school library) #(you don't end with a sequel hook and just leave me hanging ms. lane!) #anyway i love the whole essay that this is from and there are other worthwhile quotes #but i like how this one captures the 'noticing beauty while doing farm work' side of laura that i've come to think of as her trademark

call me a sap because i am one but god i am such a sucker for that thing in movies where a montage of lovely mundane human experiences plays with a soaring soundtrack over it and once the whole audience is crying, it cuts back to our protagonist looking like a truck hit them and they choose yes, that, that complicated, painful, ugly, beautiful life, i want THAT over anything else i could possibly have, yes, i want to live

#barbie movie #barbie 2023 #barbie spoilers #everything everywhere all at once #the giver #maybe it hits different because i've been suicidal before #and i have made that choice and picked life #and i know i know i know it's blatant heart-string tugging #but i will never not cry like a baby #when a character who could have oblivion #or an easier simpler life #or a life where they have more power than they've ever had #etc and so on #says yes #out of all the existences i could have #i want this one #i want the joy and i want the pain and i want all of it #“of all the places i could be i just want to be here with you”
