To put it very bluntly.
You will always make a better impact helping people who need it than trying to hurt people you think deserve it.

not "i ship these characters" or "i want them to bond platonically" but a secret 3rd thing (I want them to be forced to interact by the Narrative bc they would HATE that)

Throwback to that time in college when me and a group of friends were having an all-day Lord of the Rings marathon, and during the scene where the Fellowship is fighting the giant squid and Aragorn does something awesome, I turned to my friend and was like,
“Strider is so hot.”
Strider being one of Aragorn’s in-universe nicknames, for the uninitiated.
And one of the guys in the group, who I had never met before, was like “WHAT? Really???” with enormous eyes.
“Uh, yeah?”
I look to my friend, who makes confirmation noises. I look at some of the other girls, more confirmation noises.
Guy, now looking very uncomfortable, but realizing he made some kind of misstep: “Oh. I mean. Whatever you’re into, I guess. That’s fine.”
Me: “Okay??”
Then a SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME LATER, either I make another comment or someone in the film calls Aragorn Strider, I can’t remember the context, and the guy goes: “OH! Strider is Aragorn. Okay. Okay.”
Me: “Who tf did you think I was talking about??”
Guy: “The squid.”

I’ve been trying to look up information on Thai Buddhist funerals but all the English websites are vague or have little information. Do you have any information or websites you could recommend?
so obviously I'm not the authority on those, but I remember doing research on it back in the day + thai dramas are surprisingly realistic at portraying their culture, and even their funerals. funerals usually take either 3, 5 or 7 days. it has to be an odd day due to buddhist beliefs. there's is a water bathing ritual after death, and the body is then dressed and placed in a coffin in a temple where monks & the deceased loved ones will visit the deceased for the number of days they've chosen before the cremation. buddhist chants are of course involved, and the loved ones also pass cloth to the monks on behalf of the dead. usually a family gets a whole room for their loved one and stay with them and at least one person stays with them the whole day, greeting guests and taking care of them. finally, the body is cremated. all temples have a crematorium. some people can also actually wait 100 days after the death to cremate the deceased one (as can be seen in the lakorn chuamong tong mon.) the ashes are usually either stored in funeral chedis, which are small pointy towers present in all thai temples, or they can be stored in line around the temple if it has extra walls around it, where people will come to pray for their loved one. special merit-making also happens 7, 50 & 100 days after the person passed away. hope that helped!

Thinking about how when my oldest brother took Japanese classes his professor was like your pronunciation is really good 😊 but you need to watch movies that aren’t about the Yakuza because you sound like a criminal

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light
