Love Note - Small
Happy Monday, here, have a love note!
You make me feel small. In any other relationship I would say that is a problem, but for me it is my salvation. You give me permission to shrink down to my own size and fit back inside my body. Other people make me feel so small I fall through the cracks and disappear into the darkness. When I get that small, you cup me in your large hands and tuck me into your pocket until my body feels like it…
Love Note - Lungs
Two posts in the span of two days? Must be love....
My body doesn’t know how to breathe properly. Apparently, my lungs were never briefed on their job description. When they read the assembly directions, they skipped a few steps and posted inadequate instructions in my brain. So, they have never been able to hold a full chest’s worth of air in them. Despite all the space they have been given to pull oxygen from the air, they eyeball it and say,…
Love Note - Heartbeat
I can't believe it has been over 4 years since I last posted something on this site. Here's to hoping the inspirations keeps hitting!
When I lie flat on my stomach, protecting my soft underbelly from the world, I can feel my heart beating through my chest into the bed beneath me. Each thump of my heart resonates through my body. It is so loud I am sure it is audible to everyone. I huddle under my blankets and press it to my mattress to hide it, to muffle it. How can I face the world like this? Surely my ribs are too flimsy to…
sometimes I like to think about what would have happened if Dooku or Ventress actually ended up managing to kill Obi-Wan and Maul found out about it
@aniseandspearmint said:
@phoenixyfriend I'm imagining the angriest, weirdest Orpheus and Eurydice esque AU tbh. Maul isn't gonna take his Greatest Enemy dying by anyone else's hand laying down and manages to bring him back to life somehow via metaphor filled trip to the afterlife.
Obi-Wan, who is well aware both that coming back to life will have terrible consequences for the universe and that Maul is just going to kill him the second they get to the surface, does everything he can to get him to turn around. It is extremely undignified. Or it would be, if anyone were around to see it.
@willowcrowned
The place they exit the afterlife is a place meaningful for both of them. Were this a traditional fetching your lover from the afterlife thing, that would be a wonderfully romantic place probably.
These two tho? Where else could they come out except the reactor room (or whatever it is) under Theed Palace?
Another hilarious thing I feel we should talk about more is the fact that *film* Aragorn and Arwen break up right before Aragorn leaves Rivendell……. meaning that film!Aragorn spends most of the quest in an “oh my god my relationship of 50 years just ended what do I even do with myself????” depression haze.
It explains so much…..
Like. Externally Aragorn is on an epic quest to save Middle Earth, internally he’s crying on the couch in his sweatpants eating a tub of the Middle-Earth equivalent of Ben and Jerry’s
Legolas: Aragorn?
Aragorn: Arwen used to call me Aragorn…..
Legolas: Because it’s your fucking name
To be clear I actually love the film’s version of Aragorn/Arwen’s relationship, there’s a lot of Dramatic Potential/ angsty meta you could write on it, but–.
BUT
It’s also like– you think Aragorn has to put up with Legolas and Gimli’s annoying romance antics? Legolas and Gimli have to deal with Aragorn spending half the quest staring wistfully into the distance and sighing dramatically about What Can Never Be™…with how often he sings the Lay of Luthien, basically the Middle Earth equivalent of Adele’s Someone Like You….
Gimli: You haven’t washed your hair in MONTHS. We’re staging an intervention.
Aragorn (lying flat on the ground with his face in the dirt): aweralwkerjwae
Legolas: You’re only 87– you’ve got your whole life ahead of you. You can find love a second time!
Aragorn: I did. Boromir died.
Legolas: Maybe three is your lucky number!
#for me film Legolas’ main character trait#is that he’s incapable of reading the room (tags via @overthinkinglotr)
Aragorn, any time he gets a moment to himself during the quest:
Gimli: This lovely Rhohirrim woman is clearly into you. She’s a fighter. You’re a fighter. She loves horses. You love horses (also you smell like one). Give her a chance!
Aragorn: *flashbacks to him and Arwen making out in Imladris while the elvish version of “when somebody loved me” plays in the background.
clones deserve to be tookas in my opinion
is this the beginning of me drawing star wars characters as tookas? who knows
They do!!!! and they are wonderful!!!
I was really hoping to pull off one last one.
sometimes I look at the ‘Official Grown Up'™ art and it looks like Sokka and Zuko are geared up to go on another life changing field trip together haaaa
christmas eve what about christmas adam
happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists
Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.
Someone isn’t having a good christmas adam
Christmas Adam: December 23rd. Comes before Christmas Eve and is generally unsatisfying.
Happy Christmas Adam everyone
Sun Tzu is so fucking funny to me because for his time he was legitimately a brilliant tactician but a bunch of his insight is shit like "if you think you might lose, avoid doing that", "being outnumbered is bad generally", and "consider lying."
My personal favourite is his lengthy lecture on the subject of Supplies Being Very Important I Cannot Stress Enough The Importance Of Protecting Your Supply Lines But Also Supply Lines Are Expensive As Shit So Steal The Enemy’s Supplies At Every Opportunity.

One of the more important things to consider about any historical work is the audience it was published for. The Art Of War was aimed at fancy nobles high on philosophy with little practical military experience who were nonetheless leading armies.
Sun Tzu, after desperatly trying to explain extremely basic logic to a bunch of upper-class twits, basically sat down and wrote the most elaborate "As per my last email" ever

#you just made it a higher stakes game of hide and seek
Having gone to this University, and having personally played hide and seek in the Harris Fine Arts Center, I guarantee you that NOBODY finds hiders unless they, too, are familiar with the bowels of the HFAC. Once you get down to the practice-room levels, time stops completely and you could walk up the back stair and end up in 1967. The halls change at least 8 times an hour, there’s no way you’re getting back out the same way you came in. When the lights start going off at 10 the whole bottom 3 floors descend into some subsection of the fey realm. I once hid up on the balcony stage access fire-escape thing of a lower-level theater, and 3 faculty walked by under me and not a one of them noticed the hulking, wheezing asthmatic lurking above them, half dangling off a rickety metal ladder that probably wasn’t supposed to be climbed. A fellow hider friend came and found me, and we sat up there for 30 minutes listening to some distant clicking sound before we realized nobody was actually going to find us. We had no cell service, and no internet to reach anyone. We got lost trying to get back out, and once we resurfaced, everyone else was gone, the building was empty, and we just went home to eat ice cream. Nobody knew where we had disappeared to, and nobody bothered to check if we were there before leaving. For all I know, they just assumed we had been lost to the gaping maw of the HFAC basement and when they saw us at church on Sunday it was probably like they’d seen a ghost. None of us ever mentioned it again.
Basically what I’m saying is Campus Police had no hope of finding them in the first place and probably lost an officer or two if they actually conducted a real search, because nobody except Senior art majors or veteran custodians actually knows how to navigate that building and make it out in the same dimension they entered from. Not at 11pm anyway.
This is better than any horror story and it’s all fucking real apparently
Twitter and tiktok are like a coral reef
It’s loud and bright and productive and glamorous. It’s fast-paced and things cycle through the environment in hours. Everyone is trying to fight for their position in the food chain and stay Relevant. There are lots of pretty things to look at. If something gets Popular it has an impact on everything around it, for a brief time until the next big thing arrives. To an outside observer it’s chaos but to those involved it has order, reason, a Purpose.
Tumblr is like a deep-sea ecosystem.
Things are slow and weird. Memes bounce around for years and even decades. People exist in their little isolated hydrothermal vent communities of mutuals. Sometimes something big happens (suez canal, November 5th, Queen Lizzie kickin’ it) and we all gather around like a whale fall but for the most part we’re just snootling around in the sand doing whatever the fuck. Occasionally someone comes down and shines their flashlight around and immediately leaves and tells their friends about what freaky shit we have going on in the depths. We don’t care. We’re very busy talking about Our Friend Jonathan from a book published in the 1800s like worms slowly digesting the bones of a long-dead organism.
Sometimes you'll be drifting around minding your own business, and something massive and horrible will drift past just out of sight range and you'll know it feom the way the current changes. And you'll be glad it didn't see you.
SO APPARENTLY MY ENTIRE LIFE IS A LIE HOW HAS YOUR GUYS’ NIGHT BEEN
UPDATE: SO LATER THAT NIGHT WHEN MY BROTHER GOT HOME FROM WORK (HE IS 6+ YEARS OLDER, MORE PROFICIENT IN FARSI THAN I AM, AND ALSO OFTEN VISITS IRAN), I ASKED HIM WHAT HE THOUGHT THE PERSIAN WORD FOR “REMOTE CONTROL WAS” AND HE ALSO SAID THE WORD!!!!!! AND WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT IT WAS A FAKE FILLER WORD, HIS FIRST RESPONSE WAS “WOW, WHAT????? SO THEY LIED TO US?????? WHAT ELSE IS FAKE??????? ARE THEY EVEN OUR REAL PARENTS?????”
SO GOOD TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS BETRAYAL.
Hey man. Whats going on down there.

America gets deadly bacterial outbreaks in their meat and milk every six months but we get ONE hallucinating spinach incident and everyone acts like we’re the ones with problems.
