when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit

I don't play love and deepspace, but I I distinctly remember Valkos design being clowned on and his being a (tech?) CEO being met with lukewarm confusion. So it's very funny to see everyone act like his berieved widow now./lh

Getting back into Kresley Cole and shifter romances in general and my god, I'd forgotten how much 🌟gender🌟 there is in these stories./pos

OK so....

There is this ASMR RP series where a necromancer (Ortas, king of necromancers. selp appointed title) imprisons his beloved in a pocket dimension until he finds the cure to death. The necromancer goes on to reincarnate for centuries and sometimes has a thing for a listener whether it is implied that the listener in question is meant to be the reincarnation of his beloved (who dies in the pocket dimension?) Or not.

Anyway, after an unknown amount of lives, Necromancer king figures out that the key to immortality is the sacrifice an entire nation. He is promptly defeated by the power of love (another storyline). But like.... what happens to his beloved?????? Are they still in their pocket dimension??? Does anyone ever find them????

One thing that being online has taught me is that some conversations can never be productive because of the way they started. The topic might be interesting, timely, and needed, but if the conversation started messily (unempathetic framing, strong language, argumentation based on "common sense" intuition, debate bro energy, unwillingness to broaden the lens to other affected groups), if the conversation started with any of the aforementioned, then it will NOT be productive.

It doesn't matter how well informed an opinion you or someone else might have formed on the subject. It doesn't matter that there is relevant research. It doesn't matter that you or someone else might have relevant lived experience to bring some nuance and humanity to the numbers. At this point, people (me and you included) will only listen to react.

The only way to have a productive, constructive conversation would be to completely restart it somewhere else.

The thing about the Drama that I have a hard time coming to terms with is the reason why Emma didn't go and commit the shooting. Everyone goes with the most uncharitable interpretation of those events; as if she didn't do it because she would no longer be "the first" one to do it in her town.

The movie shows how the shooting impacted the students at Emma's school, and Emma had to sit and take in all the reactions of those around her. The pain it caused others, how shameful it is to do such a thing, the weight of real life taken. Her not going through with it read to me less as a disappointment, and more as a wake-up call.

Before the shooting happened, her view of such events was glamorized play pretend. She was trying to make a "cool" sounding manifesto putting on silly makeup and clothes. After it happened, she was face-to-face with the real consequences that would have on the people around her, and she chose not to go through with her plan.

Charlie's interpretation of this event was the MOST uncharitable possible interpretation of how things went down and idk why his viewpoint is the one taken in this scenario.

I have this story in my brain that I can't quite put to paper.... about a merman and the human (turned vampire... somewhat) love of his life. Who left him behind with a child to care for. And he waits for her for a long... long time on land, caring for that child and raising it because SHE asked him to.

And she can't bring herself to come back to face either of them bc how do you face your nephew after killing his dad, or the man who loves you the most after abandoning him for years???

I love writing/ imaginating stories that explore my personal hang ups about myself. The act of both distancing myself enough to see how I behave but remaining present enough to FEEL what I feel create such a fascinating picture of who I am. I have very interesting wounds and I like to pick at them. It serves both as a form acknowledgement and emotional regulation (sometimes) and as a productive way to get out of my own head
