jacob tierney with season 2 announced here is my pitch for soundtrack songs. i am trying so hard to match the vibe but also be so restrained

so many taylor swift songs. probably too many so lets go with dress

forever is a feeling by lucy dacus

bad decisions by the strokes

more wet leg..... particularly wet dream or catch these fists

kiss with a fist by florence + the machine

and look. diamonds by rihanna is iconic for the wedding BUT i would also like to present fair by the amazing devil bc it would make me cry

thank you.

this blurry photograph

this blurry photograph— all her edges smudged.

she was never one for photographs. always hated how they turned out painting all her flaws in stark realism and crisp, unflattering lines. she never kept many of just herself.

but in this blurry photograph— all her edges smudged and her cracks hazy, like a flashback half-remembered all abstract and watercolour—

she'll be remembered this way. in a blurry photograph with all her edges smudged.

im lowkey obsessed with stardew valley (1.2k hours on steam) so i made this:

cooking and crafting everything

which lists every single component you need to cook and craft everything in the game plus where you get them (fish includes seasons and times and weather conditions). and also for stardew valley expanded since im playing that right now with the besties.

so. benefit from my autistic love of tables.

her sister, winter

summer has never met her sister winter. they do not have ages, not really, but winter rivals summer. unlike spring and autumn, they are not transitional seasons; they are each settled in their opposing climates. but summer knows her sister. she knows that winter dotes on spring, coaxing her awake with gentle winds and melting snow. summer knows that winter loves to watch the world come alive again and as she slips to sleep, summer knows winter leaves with a lovingly chilled kiss. summer and spring are not quite as close; spring doesn't fancy the ever warming sun and the wild summer storms. autumn, however, loves summer for her golden rays that light so prettily the warm red and gold of leaves. and summer loves her as well; as she drifts off she sends a final ray of sun to warm her sister's hands and stoke the flame of autumn's craft. autumn loves colour and warmth despite her own chilling wind, so she pouts when winter awakes. winter, summer knows, soothes autumn with her reminder that it will be autumn again. but summer will never meet winter, except in a pressed snowdrop or the shedding of fur. she could swear sometimes that she could hear winter's tinkling laughter in suncatchers like icicles.

so the best thing about the animal crossing new horizons update is definitely the hotel mannequins because it leads to situations such as this:

hayden: you're GAY

shane: cat's out of the bag

hayden: in a relationship with ILYA ROZANOV

shane: cat's out of the bag

hayden: FOR OVER A DECADE

shane: cat's out of the bag

hayden: HOW MANY CATS ARE IN THIS BAG SHANE

okay so i finally watched heated rivalry and wow is there a lot of gay sex but truly this is right out of my fanfics. cannot believe they're playing this in sports bars there is BARELY any actual hockey in it. genuinely what the fuck this is so straight off ao3 i cannot believe and yet here it is. i dont think i can get into fanfic for this if only bc it's all in the show already.

rivals. hate sex. fell first fell harder. breaking off the casual relationship bc oops i fell in love. trying to get over it with a woman. insane jealousy. omg hes so cute with kids. mutual pining. holy shit im in love with you. parents walk in on us. soft but only for him.

and i love how unapologetic it is about it all. all the tropes! the queer intimacy! the hard conversations in queer relationships (we can't tell anyone to have you told your parents pipeline)! the representation of the fear of homophobia! like we dont get a lot of direct homophobia (except for alexei) but there's so much subtle stuff like lowering their voice when they say gay, asking only about women. and then there's also how fucking brilliant the scripting is. it all felt so natural and so normal. incredible show. do not watch it out loud unless you live alone.

anyway support heated rivalry show networks we want queer shows etc etc etc

watching a new hope and coming to the sudden realisation that dan and phil are like c3po and r2d2

[caitthew]

got to ep vi and ive decided that dan is c3po (neurotic, pretends to hate everything but is so involved) and phil is r2 (REALLY annoys 3po through boundless optimism and pulling him into shenanigans)

tumblr has shown me this three times. i gotta tell you its not smiley face.

whoever put me in charge of what I do all the time made a serious mistake in my opinion

[eldritchbauble]

You're not a bad person for wasting food because you forgot to eat it or left it out or didn't have the time/energy/executive function to prepare it or didn't have an appetite or whatever. Unlearn the guilt your parents taught you.

[eldritchbauble]

Yes if it's an option offer your unused food to someone else who can benefit from it, but you're not responsible for the whole world and forcing yourself to eat something won't save someone else from hunger.

[eldritchbauble]

People are adding to this post with tips on how to not waste food, and while I appreciate the good intentions you are all missing the point. The point isn't to get better at saving food, it's to let go of food-related guilt and realize that you're not personally responsible for using every bit of food. The world isn't in a crisis because you didn't eat your leftovers.

my christmas gift to myself this year was the phantasy calendar. i wrapped it and i wrote myself a card. not because my family didnt get me anything or because they dont care but i bought it first and wanted more things to unwrap. anyway i very much enjoy the little things in the calendar such as the phan birthdays, the phanniversary, international dress your pet day (jan 14), pancake day (feb 17), British Summertime Begins (march 29), april fools day (written upside down), lost sock memorial day (may 9), Spooky Season (oct 1 obviously), and xmas sweaters now allowed (dec 1). i look forward to forcing my non phannie family to stare at it as i put it up in the kitchen for all to see :D
