I think the ways grace and rocky go about saying "hey don't be sad we are competent" are 1 really sweet and 2 sososo funny because grace, ever the teacher, will be like "hey don't be sad, I'm a science human, we'll figure it out together" and rocky will be like "oh my god stop crying you dumbass, I figured out how to solve the problem twenty minutes ago. lack of sleep is making you stupid. idiot." And they're both like, wow this is exactly what I needed to hear <3
I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.
Like. Iāve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.
But now Iām just like.
Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I donāt.
Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?
Pizzaās been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyoneās enjoying the pizza, but if we donāt want āeveryoneā to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.
Thatās just. Thatās how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you donāt make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what canāt be preserved before the dust can.
Edit: Someone (on fandom aka wikia) told me they thought this was ai generated but it's not I usually don't color so I'm a bit rusty in that department but I really tried to make it look presentable, it's my first badge and all, though i did use Google photos to remove the background after I finished, I hope that's ok...
But other than that it's completely done by me, and I even added that little soft colourful shading around the cursor!, and I really enjoyed the gradients!
Etho: (overlapping) Without moving, sitting up straight uh with, you know how you do the, the O with your legs
Gem: An O with your legs?
Etho: So you have them up, right, but they're kind of folded on top of each other
Gem: Oh, you have like your, your, your ankle on your knee?
Etho: Exactly, yeah
Gem: Your ankle's on your knee, okay, yeah
Etho: This is kind of me right now
Gem: This is you
Etho: Some- something like this
Gem: Uh-huh. Boy, you'd fit right in in guess the build
Etho: Yup (laughs)
Gem: (laughs)
Etho: With, with Skizz, right?
Gem: Yeah, okay, yeah, chat I think, I think, well, I think that's typical
Etho: Uh-hum
Gem: We'll diagnose that as typical
Etho: Does it mean something or what?
Gem: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. They're just curious
Etho: Yeah. Yeah, you reposition all the time, otherwise you get sore
Gem: Okay, follow-up question from, again from the chat, has nothing to do with me. If you were to have like your dream couch, okay, in your house. What color is the couch?
Etho: What color is the couch? Well it's gotta match the place
Gem: Well yeah, but like your dream couch. Like the whole room maybe is coming together or whatever. What's the couch color?
Etho: Boy, that's a hard question
Gem: I know, it took Grian a while to answer this one
Etho: It's not like, it's not like a great answer. But it would probably be brown of some sort, just, just 'cause I don't know. I don't feel like couches should be like a feature?
Gem: Oooh, okay
Etho: More like background, right?
Gem: Yeah, no, I agree, and I do - brown is good, very natury
Etho: And like if you get a white couch. Someone - you invite someone over, there's gonna be stains
Gem: If you had said white. No, nuh-uh, no it can't be white. Well -
Etho: What's, what's your answer on that one?
Gem: Green
Etho: Green like a forest green kind of thing?
Gem: (overlapping) Like a dark green. A dark - maybe like an emerald or olive, something very deep, sprucy colored
Etho: That's a good choice 'cause that's kinda like a brown, like it's a, it's a neutral color, right?
Gem: Yeah and not like lime green, that, that'd be crazy, that'd be wild. It's gotta be still natury
Etho: Uh-hum
Gem: That's my dream. Chat, are you satisfied now? We've got our answer (laughs)
Etho: (laughs) This is what you put up all day with, weird questions like this Gem, okay
Gem: They take after the streamer, really
Etho: Right
Gem: Yeah. Yeah, I, I agree with your diagnosis, chat, I agree. I think we already knew that, but I agree, I concur
Etho: Okay now I gotta pull up the chat. What are they saying? What is this diagnosis?
Gem: (laughs) Well it's pride month Etho, so. You know there's just certain answers
Etho: You can tell by how someone sits?
Gem: No, no, no. You can't actually, to be clear. But me and Lizzie were in a call the other night and we were both sitting a certain way. And then the dads were both not sitting that way. So we started to make jokes
Etho: Were they cross-legged?
Gem: That maybe there's a correlation. No, the dads were sitting like proper in an office chair. Just normal, like feet planted, arms just on the desk, just normal sitting. At least you've got one leg up, a little bit of spice
Etho: No, no, both legs, both legs
Gem: Oh, both legs and right, both legs. Both - wait, you're cross-legged basically?
Etho: Uh not - like the legs are on top of each other, I guess
Gem: So like ankle on knee, but both, both ankles on your knee. Both ankles are on the knees
Etho: (overlapping) One, one, one ankle under knee, one on top of knee
Gem: Oh
Etho: Folded together, you know
Gem: Okay, alright. I see
Etho: What do they call that? Crisscross? Hmm
Gem: They're saying crisscross. Pretzel style
Etho: That's, that's pretty much it yeah, pretzel style
I think Iām literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancingās what clears my soul. Dancingās what makes me whole.
I just love that this very video is an accumulation of thousands of years worth of art made by people who have never met each other. The concept of this video was so completely unfathomable to every single artist who made the sculptures and yet theyāve all put something toward the creation of it.
every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks iām cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).
