people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING

be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.

I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar

Every day, you heal a little bit more. Then one morning, you wake up and losing her isn't the first thing you think about.

The issue with the daylight savings time change is that people aren't used to falling back an hour or springing forward an hour, and people struggle as they take the time to adjust. But of course, if you only do something twice a year you'll never develop a talent for it. You need to practice if you really want to be good at something! Under my proposal, which absolutely everyone will hate,

[tordenvejr]

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

the most frustrating thing to explain to people without a chronic illness is that no i'm not going to get better, every day is the fucking same and im still ill after years even if you can't fathom that and it doesn't mean i'm lying to you

[lestats-biggus-dickus]

every time I come back from taking sick leave I get asked "are you feeling better?" and I have still not figured out a way to say "literally I will never feel better but thanks for asking" and I think people should be banned from asking that question

I love drinking my Kryn Matriarchy Juice and not just because I'm obsessed with both drow as a race and gender in fantasy cultures in general, but also because it makes essek like. the elle woods of the dynasty.

not that essek is particularly masculine on the face of it lol but I do think it's interesting he's one of the only drow we meet who has very short hair. which might just be because elves and long hair traditionally go hand in hand in fantasy, but it could also be an example of kryn fashion leaning feminine by default, especially the kind of formal fashion worn by people in politics who want to be taken seriously. and we know that essek is the rebellious progressive youngster of the court, so it makes sense that the non-conformative hairstyle is a subtle little rebellion against social norms

we kind of take for granted that essek dresses and presents himself the way he does - the mantle that broadens his shoulders, the cloak that makes him look big and boxy, floating to make himself taller - to look intimidating and powerful, but we're coming at that from a pov where masculine = powerful. in a world where femininity is the default and superior gender - where the queen and most of her high-ranking officials are and always have been women - why would that be the case?

anyway this is all to say that essek coming to court for the first time with his short hair and shoulder pads and plain black oversized cloak looked like this to the other drow:
