i have a cat named The Lady and my favourite thing about her is that she manages to have this very petite, delicate face while also being incredibly fat so every time she goes downstairs i just hear like.

THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK THUnk thunkthunkthunk 

and then my mother in the softest, most delighted voice going “oh, hello my wee lady!”

The thing about knitting is it’s much harder to fear the existential futility of all your actions while you’re doing it.

Like ok, sure, sometimes it’s hard to believe you’ve made any positive impact on the world. But it’s pretty easy to believe you’ve made a sock. Look at it. There it is. Put it on, now your foot’s warm.

Checkmate, nihilism.

This is a powerful positive message..

[pluckyredhead]

I’m literally reading a book right now (Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski) that says this is scientifically sound.

There have been studies done on rats and dogs where they develop learned helplessness in the animals by giving them impossible tasks. Eventually the animals stop trying, even when the task stops being impossible. (I.e. put a rat in a maze with cheese it can’t get to until it develops learned helplessness, then put the cheese somewhere it can get to it and it won’t even try.) But once they show the animals they CAN do something - i.e. physically moving the rat to the cheese - the learned helplessness goes away.

No one can move you to your cheese for you, but the book says DOING something - which they define as “anything that isn’t nothing” can help. Make a food. Work in the garden. Clean a thing. Do a favor for a friend. Call your elected officials.

Knit a sock.

If you feel overwhelmed by existential despair, do something. It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be anything that isn’t nothing.

Pale confession letter

> You are anxious as you do this, but if you don’t do it quickly then you probably never will.

> You stuff the envelope under his door and scuttle way wheezing.

Dear Karkat,

I feel that perhaps this isn’t the best time for such things and I am sorry, but I am unable to not think about it when we are together. I don’t wish to taint our friendship or make things awkward in any way, and I know we agreed after October that we only wished to be friends. But somewhere along the way my heart started to feel certain things. I am very sorry and I understand completely if you do not feel the same and would rather keep things as they are. It is also fine if you wish for some distance for your comfort.

And I know realize I have beat around the bush. My feelings are pale. I have a pale crush on you. I think about the happiness and welfare of many people but you hold my attention in a different way. I know you have expectations for yourself and I want to help you achieve those, but not the expense of your well being. I enjoy being close to you and talking about our worries, concerns and it makes me happy how you help me feel like I can do better. And I hope I am able to make you feel the same way.

Frankly I do not know much about romance in any of the quadrants but I did do some research and from my limited understanding, the desire to help someone be their best self while also aiding them in staying grounded is the hallmarks of moirallegiance.

Once again, I understand if you do not feel the same and there is no pressure on you to respond to me in kind or in any way. I just wanted to voice this in some form to you.

I value your friendship greatly and will always. Whenever I can make you smile and help you feel your best self, I am happy.

Thank you for your friendship and for listening to my rambles, Karkat.

Sincerely yours,

Gwen

You finally get around to reading the mystery letter that’s been gathering dust while you’ve been running around half the city doing your dirty business. You immediately wheeze into your water and nearly suffer a fatal and super fucking embarrassing choking fit. 

You also immediately run to your fancy stationary, because uh, HOLY SHIT? You have to write the- 

Oh god, you have to write the perfect response. Fuck. 

[croupiergin]

Don't laugh at your frog mom its rude.

You delete this because you’re NOT AN IDIOT, INSPECTOR.
