ad astra per aspera 🌌

Ana. She/her. Of legal age.

[bubbletune6]

So I thought I’d finally make an intro post:

Hi, I’m Ana.

She/her pronouns.

I use this mainly just to reblog or post about things I like, and there’s a full list of fandoms at the bottom!!

Asks are always open, and I love getting them, so please ask away!!

Tagging:

#ana waffles or #random rambles are the tags I use for non fandom specific things that I like

#come back to this or #reference - reference pieces, lists or audiobook links

#the beauty of words - quotes or words that I find beautiful, the ones the literature nerd in me loves gushing at

That’s about it really!

Fandoms:

Doctor Who - especially adore River Song x Doctor.

The Hunger Games

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger

Bananafish

Broadchurch

A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Sherlock

Anything mythology related; epic the musical, hadestown e.t.c

Shakespeare - mainly hamlet, but hoping to get into some more soon

Vlogbrothers - idk if that counts as a fandom but I’d love to meet some fellow nerdfighters

#1 thing you can do to be a better driver is to be at peace with going the wrong direction for a little while.

like it is not the end of the world if you miss your turn. all the roads are connected to all the other roads. you will find your way very quickly.

unless you're experiencing a genuine emergency, dont even think about making a sudden movement, ESPECIALLY across one or more lanes, just to avoid missing a turn

just relax. be at peace with the way the universe has led you. who knows you might discover something you never would have seen, like a nice restaraunt or a park you didn't know about. just. fucking relax

[peoplefolk]

The best driving advice I ever got was "you get there when you get there."

Miss a turn? It's okay. You get there when you get there.

Left the house late? Nothing you can do about it now. You get there when you get there.

Stopped by a train, or an accident on the highway? It's out of your hands. You get there when you get there.

I know all of these things can be anxiety-inducing. But by the time you're in the car experiencing them, no crazy maneuver will make a meaningful difference in the time it takes to get where you're going, and that maneuver will be at the cost of your safety and others.

Nothing is more important than your life.

You get there when you get there.

was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.

"This is some Light Yagami bull shit you are about to pull" <- Littany against avoiding small embarrassing/awkward moments that don't matter with over the top ass mind games.

Something I've always firmly believed is that you impact people more than you realize you do. I mean in positive ways. You make a bigger difference to individual people, and you make a bigger difference in the scope of the world, than you realize.

Thinking about that now because it's still jarring when you learn this did, in fact, happen to you.

Ran into my fifth grade teacher, recently retired. Fifth grade was an important year for our little private school. It was filled with hands-on activities and several large, memorable projects. One was an essay event that culminated in a fancy multi-course meal where students read their projects to each other. I know it sounds a little weird out of context. But trust me, it's one of the Core Memories of students who go through the curriculum.

My old fifth grade teacher happily informed me she'd been using my essay as an example all the way up until she retired.

I must have given permission back in the day that she could use it as an example. I'm sure I did. I didn't remember I did that. My present self had no idea this had been happening. I wrote that thing in 2004. But I was suddenly confronted with the reality that, for twenty years, my essay had been the golden standard to every crop of students who went through this Core Memory of elementary. And people had been seeing my name, for twenty years, attached with it.

This is just a silly little instance, but it still blindsided me. Unbeknownst to me, my life choices had crossed paths with? How many? Hundreds of students?

sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "mmmhmmm okay yeah i see we both interpreted that differently based on what the show gave us, but i see how you arrived at your ideas even if they're different from mine," and then sometimes you see Takes™ that make you go "brother what show did you even fucking watch"

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

This is the Supernatural "I love you" meme but specific to announcing that another UK PM has resigned.

washing dishes is evil because you go "oh fuck there's so many dishes this is gonna take foreverrr" and then you enter the dish abyss and emerge with your abdomen somehow covered in water and your hands all wrinky and then you look at the clock and what felt like half an hour was actually 10 minutes
