#I secretly rate every action packed film 0-the mummy

Every once in a great while, I will tell somebody “You know, nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance.”

…And then I’ll be sad, because they have no idea what I’m talking about.

I’m going to grad school soon to be a librarian and I can’t wait to get drunk and quote all of Evy’s lines.

I’m an archaeology student and I recently re-watched this and the instant they made it clear that it was set in the 1920s I was completely cool with everything about it because archaeology in the 1920s was mostly drinking and blowing things up.

watching my husband get diagnosed with and treated for sleep apnea over the last year was not the thing that radicalized me re: weight and healthcare but my goodness it has solidified my stances.

sleep apnea is more common in people who are fat.

society decided for some reason that this meant that being fat causes sleep apnea. its often difficult to get referrals for sleep apnea treatment if you are fat, because some PCPs will tell you try losing weight first.

turns out!! having untreated sleep apnea causes weight gain in a not-insignificant number of people. it also makes it fucking impossible for many people to lose weight.

my husband worked out the same amount before he got a cpap as he does now. there have been no major diet changes either. yet he has been losing weight -- and gaining muscle tone -- consistently since he started using a cpap in january.

also, his blood pressure -- which was high, which docs blamed on his weight/diet -- went down significantly within one month of starting cpap treatment, before his weight changed significantly.

ANYWAYS. this is getting long. two final thoughts.

- if you are exhausted constantly for "no reason", and especially if you snore, you should probably ask your doctor about getting tested for sleep apnea. it is extremely common -- estimates are around 1 in 10 people -- and is also wildly under-diagnosed. like, some estimates suggest that 80% of people with moderate-severe sleep apnea are undiagnosed.

Not the citrus scale I was looking for but I like it

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

Controversial take some of u will get defensive at, but there IS a right way to give advice (in my opinion). I recently discovered this when I made friends with my former bar manager, a guy in his 50s whom I’m literally in love with (platonically lol). I frequently ask him for advice, and he doles it out to me freely, but he’s also always like “you have it in you to figure this out.” He’s always like “you don’t need me for this; you have it in you.” He’s always reminding me that I have the capacity and experience and emotional intelligence to work through even the toughest weeds. That’s the way to give advice. If you’re not bolstering your friend’s confidence, if you’re not inquiring about their own thought process, if you’re just caustically cutting them off with advice every single time, I’m sorry but to me that’s doing it wrong.

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?

[bluishorange]

actually a coworker of mine said something interesting about this. I was saying that I truly can’t help how easily I cry, and I hate when people assume I do it on purpose.

and he paused for a second and then said, “when you’ve been taught from a young age that crying is weak and you should train yourself never to cry for any reason, you assume that everyone else has trained themselves too, so anyone who cries has to be doing it on purpose. it took me a long time to realize that wasn’t true.”

listen we’re never gonna run out of ways the patriarchy hurts all of us.

Autism Representation written by an allistic: My name is John Autism and I like the designated autistic interests

unintentionally autistic character written by the creator who hasn't really thought about whether or not theyre autistic: I wish I could be human like the way everyone else is but I know they can tell I'm not. And I know they're right

[greelin]

“but he did [this horrific thing]” i am neither his keeper nor happy with every single decision he makes. Also he is not real

I like when it looks like the sun is dripping through the leaves. It makes me feel like a little kid for just a moment.

The potential reveal that The Cloak accidentally closed the doors to Faerie is a powder keg for Seekers 2.0.

I don't think Kattigan losing Marienna and Esme within a year of Reaper's Day is a coincidence. Especially since they lived in Emeri, which is associated with House Royce in some way (there's also that "Have you killed a fairy?" moment, as well as the parallels between Kattigan's ranger spells and Aranessa's brand of sorcery)

Thimble was implicated in The Cloak's latest attempt at the ritual (she helped steal the Stone of Nightsong,) so who's to say she wasn't implicated in the catastrophic one? That Thjazi didn't tell Thimble is pretty fucked up considering they made their pact of secrecy after the doors closed ("It won't be fun keeping secrets from each other, but it'll be a little fun." BRO.) Thimble deserved an informed choice to trust The Cloak...

...because Reaper's Day helped nobody but Tachonis and Halovar, and it helped them both quite a bit. It set Halovar up to escalate the Creed's persecution of faeries—the population in Aramán was reduced, disempowered both magically and diplomatically, and cut off from its means of escape. Meanwhile, Tachonis got a whole weakened noble house prime for slaughter, enabling the plan to sacrifice Occtis

Episode 14 revealed the magic of Teor's emblem as fey in nature, and before he died he was set up to head to the Orchard with Thimble. Brennan probably had something in store for him there, and the other Seekers could end up discovering it in his stead and learning if Reaper's Day disempowered him as well. Any number of things might have gone better for the Pridesire brothers if they'd been stronger

"With any luck, the next time I see your face we will have undone the damage of our first attempt." For a handful of our new Seekers and the people they care about, the damage can't be quantified, never mind undone.

"Think of an empire full of 1st-level sorcerers that can't fly, but can take a ladder 180 feet up to cast Mending on a bunch of big stone columns."

Tansul may have given all humans sorcery the way Sylandri gave all elves immortality, both "gifts" coming with a condition of control. The same way Sylandri got to determine which elves were allowed to reproduce, Tansul got to allocate the most potent magic to his favorite humans. The only sorcery to survive Tansul's death did not come exclusively from him.

Royce's magic came from fey, Einfasen's from giants, Cormoray's from djinn. Their sorcery, and thus their social mobility, was never fully under Tansul's boot—which probably factored into their decision to rebel.

As for the other non-rebel and non-Sundered bloodlines: Tansul turned House Tachonis into psychopomps, connecting them to the Tenebral Reaches on a fundamental level. Humans were shaped from existing life on Aramán, and House Tachonis essentially got double shaped. House Halovar had to get creative, taking from Tansul's construct what he was no longer around to offer and turning its scions into aasimar. Meanwhile, Azune's ancestors obviously had some draconic connection, and House Seremai seems connected to Aramán's version of Yuan Ti. I can't wait to learn about the role of the Navika'an in the Obridimian Empire, especially the meaning of Azune's "Have mercy on those I send you" ink (is it perhaps related to the Hall of Mercy?)

TDLR: The interplay between sorcery and humanity in cr4 is fascinating.

My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.

saw a post letting people know that your ao3 bookmarks are viewable on your account unless you make them private, which suggests that the median ao3 user does not use ao3 in what i will call 'the optimum fic-finding treadmill' where you find a fic author you like and look through their bookmarks to find more fics that are good and then look through that author's bookmarks for even more good fics. like a conga line of great but extremely specific tastes. or one of those chessboard rice doubling analogies and oh no that is a LOT of ao3 tabs.
