imagine a goat with a hat

STOP-

what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat

*while sewing*: you are a fabric. you can stay a fabric. you do not yearn to return to being string.

[batbetbitbotbut]

*while spinning*: you are a thread. you can stay a thread. you do not yarn to return to being fluff.

[strikeslip]

*while embroidering*: you are a thread on a needle. you can just exist as thread on a needle. you do knot yearn to become a tangle.

[mawofthemagnetar]

*while turning wood* you are timber on a lathe. You can stay as timber on a lathe. You do not yearn to become a live hand grenade.

REblog if you are Asexual, support Asexuals, or spend most of your time actually thinking about Superheroes.

i’ve been (re)listening to some more Hardy Boys audiobooks recently (the much older ones) and Chet keeps making me laugh. He’s so mean!! “If you put both their brains together you’ll have enough for a half-wit.” Listen….

and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series now. In the new ones the boys and their friends seem kinda PR trained, which I don’t hate, because I think that tact and cleverness makes them stand out from their peers. It’s just interesting to see what a teenage boy role model looked like in 1920s.

I didn't realize there were audiobooks. Where did you find them? /genq

[duplexbiscuit]

I mainly listen using the Libby app and Spotify. Youtube also has many of the books.

Libby is a way to access libraries’ digital catalogs. I signed up using a Seattle library card (I do not live in Seattle) and I love it!! I listen to various Sherlock audiobooks using the same. I quite like the ones on there as they’re voiced by an American male, and there’s music also. It makes listening a fun experience. The Libby app has both the oldies and the newer ones voiced. There’s also Nancy Drew on there and the audiobooks are also amazing. Here’s a reddit thread on how to use Libby, and you can just look up the app if you’d rather not click an outside link. I hope this was helpful!

Thank you! I'll be sure to check that out later!

Hanahaki disease is a psychosomatic illness. It's a thing that your body does in response to stress over constantly repressing/concealing your feelings in settings with high background magic. It's like you've been ignoring pain for a long time and suddenly your vision starts going dark, because your affected body is just YANKING on random alerts trying to get you to PAY ATTENTION there is a PROBLEM. Yes the flowers do really exist. So do non-magical psychosomatic symptoms. The flowers aren't special.

This does of course open up the trope to options for non-romantic concealed feelings. Which I think is great. There is something viscerally satisfying about the person who seems so outwardly chipper coughing and hacking and spitting up Depression Flowers so now everyone has to know they're hurting. Isn't there?

[specificwatcher]

Hanahaki, but it's a child that feels neglected by their parents.

Hanahaki, but it's someone whose friends have started ghosting them.

Hanahaki, someone's wife is cheating on them.

Hanahaki, the disease that gives you three options: confront your feelings, destroy the love you hold for someone or perish choking on roses.

It's my birthday!

It said that the best gift for an artist is the reblog of their work. So I would be happy about this gift...

I couldn’t resist this. The idea of space sirens and starmaids just make me want to grab pen and paper instantly. So, this is how I enjoyed my free Sunday. <3 My thanks for @quietpinetrees for the wonderful inspiration.

[quietpinetrees]

As a writer, very little brings me as much joy as being the inspiration for someone else’s creativity. I want to thank @drachenmagier for sharing this magnificent art with the world.

I hope everyone inspired by my writing to create something of their own is kind enough to share it.

tumblr is great bc its like a diary where I can take other peoples diary entries and glue them into my own diary

[0nkret]

The world is a strange place. Stay silent too long and it folds around you, dimming you like a candle swallowed by fog, letting your traces sink beneath layers of dust that no one remembers. You try to speak, because something inside you insists on being heard, yet the world shies away from voices that echo too brightly, too honestly, too close to whatever a soul truly is.

So you shape masks out of quiet nights and borrowed smiles, each one fitting just enough to pass, each one soft enough not to disturb anything. You learn to mute your joy, your strangeness, your colors.

You learn to mute yourself.

Pieces of you fall away like petals in slow motion, just so you can keep moving.

And somewhere along the way, your soul grows quiet, so quiet you almost forget the sound it used to make.

Skillet is good because they’re a Christian rock band with lyrics that can be applicable outside of a religious context and aren’t afraid to cover ‘heavy’ topics like depression and crisis in faith and their lead singer sounds like he gargles gravel every day.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Also their music slaps.

How could you NOT fall in love with the glow of the moon and stars, the warmth of the sun, the ancient life within the trees, and the sweet melodies of the winds?

The way both Shadow and Silver will constantly adjust their wrist cuffs makes me wonder if they're heavy or uncomfortable to wear

[alcadanon]

I don't think so, I'm always adjusting my leather bracelets, because they shift as I move around. Since their cuffs are metal, they would slip around too. Only rubber and fabric bracelets sometimes don't have that problem

[crabussy]

we all love dynamics that remind us of the moon and the sun but I am baffled by the lack of love for dynamics that are reminiscent of the moon and the EARTH.

[crabussy]

I am so full of life but you are the reason my tides have a rhythm. you are the reason my oceans are brimming with life. you are the reason I can see the light in myself even when it all seems dark and you are the reason my orbit is stable and my seasons make sense. do you see it

[fulgrims-big-naturals]

Moon has scars from meteors that would’ve otherwise hit us

[crabussy]

AOAOIUUHHH. NOBODY TALK TO ME
