The View From My Brain

My name's Jemima. Call me Jem. I'm a Law-student and an avid reader of anything I have the time to chew through. And as a result I sometimes write fanfiction. You can find the results here: https://crasfactusest.wordpress.com/index/ I have three crested geckos, Master, Margarita, and Natasha, who provide me with much entertainment and overall cuteness and I have a tabby cat named Chili. She's what keeps me sane, when my brain does not cooperate. Aside from reading a lot I'm also a gamer, and a bit of a table-top RPG nerd.

Someone put red paint on the "Serve and Protect" sculpture at the Salt Lake City police building and it is such a powerful statement.

Every time this picture appears on my dash, my self-esteem and belief in my art skills just run away screaming and my perfectionist soul howls in anguish because I don’t have this level of skills

I love this picture, much respect for artist <3

You don't need Mildliners. Sharpie highlighters work the exact same way.

You don't need Moleskine or Leuchtturn notebooks. That old spiral you found in the back of your closet is free, so why not make use of it?

You don't need to drink so much coffee your head hurts, or have it black. In matters of taste, there can be no disputes.

You don't need to own hundreds of books. If that was financially feasible for the majority of people, libraries wouldn't exist.

There is no shame in not having (or not wanting!) thousands of dollars to dedicate to the aesthetic. It does not make you any less of a scholar.

You say that Eskel freely sees himself as ugly but Lambert spends most of his time ag Kaer Morhen calling his big brother ugly too and it hurts my heart, like noooooo, stop!

yeah, but you gotta take into account that lambert is that person, who teases the people he likes most, so of course he would taunt eskel about his appearance,

but, if anyone else dare say anything in front of lambert?

“damn eskel, you should wear a mask all the time and-- what the fuck? what. the. fuck. did that bitch just agree with me? hey, prick-face! who the fuck do you think you are, my brother is goddamn handsome as fuck, he wears the shit outta those scars, don’t call him fucking ugly, don’t you fucking say that shit to his fucked up face, i will tear you a new arsehole, you pig-fucking shitstain!”

...like, yeah - it’s okay if lambert says it, cause geralt and vesemir wouldn’t ever say anything derogatory to eskel, but if anyone else even has the balls to think about insulting eskel like that?

holy fuck, lambert will kick your arse, eskel’s arse, everyone’s arse, even his own arse to protect his brother’s honour.

eskel, naturally, didn’t ask for this shit, but fuck trying to wrangle lambert into submission, heck.

[jemimaaslana]

That's my take on Lambert as well. He's an ass, but he's loyal to a fault. I find him really hard to write, because I constantly want him to clean up his act, but he will only ever come out and tell someone his positive opinion on anything if he has absolutely no other option to get the conversation where he wants it to go.

Eskel for my dear @minilev​ as part of the art trade we did ♥ 

Anna! It’s been a pleasure to draw him -I adore you for specifically requesting him- for you, and you know it! I enjoyed it a lot, so I hope you like him!

As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they don’t respect the sea, if you’re going to the coast, here’s a thing I saw on Facebook.

[i-amneveralone-deactivated20201]

wow.

[robotsandfrippary]

reblogging for all of us that grew up in land locked states, then visit the ocean and are used to just plunging into a lake.

[foxy-voxy]

All of this applies to Lake Michigan, as well. The rips aren’t as big, but they do happen. We lose tourists every year.

[jemimaaslana]

In my native tongue rips are called "horse holes", referring to the openings in the sand bars. And yes, rips can be strong enough to pull a horse out to sea - never waste your strength fighting it, you'll need it to stay afloat or swim back in once the rip loses its grip.
