Lyric posts stuff.

Not much to say, really. I'm a mother of two. I'm obsessed with storytelling, and fandoms that have lots of meta about storytelling such as Doctor Who and Good Omens. The weird things in my head are the most interesting thing about me. You can find my original writing at smashwords and my fanfic at A Teaspoon and an Open Mind. I'm also on AO3 and now wattpad, and I have a ko-fi if people want to support my writing.

Brandon Sanderson is interesting because in the majority of his body of work (especially his main cosmere universe) he kind of sits down across from you and says,

"Listen, even if an omniscient God or a godlike being is real, most religions are built on only a bit of truth and mostly upon myths designed to keep order among the populace. This order creates, designs, and enforces rigid roles for racism, classism, sexism, and homophobia. It excuses and handwaves, if not outright encourages, colonialism and oppression."

and you're like "Mr. Sanderson, aren't you a card carrying member of the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints?"

and he's like "don't worry about that"

Love the moment in System Collapse when Ratthi makes a joke about round hatches being scarier than square ones, SecUnit decides to fact check this by searching its entire media library for scary things coming out of doors and doing statistical analysis on the shape of the doors and discovers he's right, and ART goes "You wasted processing space on that?" And then ART gets sucked into participating in the inane conversation within seconds.

Everyone can tell you what a turkey looks like, they have become ubiquitous symbols of the Thanksgiving season and can be found in any number of forms. Most people don’t know that there is another species of turkey, Meleagris ocellata, the Ocellated Turkey that is found in Guatemala. This is really a beautiful bird and I would love to have a few of these as lawn ornaments some day.

Happy pride month! Please remember to include disabled people in your festivities this year! This includes:

- Hiring sign language interpreters

- Ensuring venues are step free

- Making dedicated sensory safe spaces

- Providing free masks

- Including braille or audio described signage

- Using plain language in speeches

Yes it’s more work, but pride is for everyone, it’s needs to be inclusive.

Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.

[tsunades-left-bicep]

You come on to my funny little post about my beloved baby brother and say this shit to me. You walk into my house and tell me I'm just like Itachi fr. The disrespect. I've been tagged as the supernatural brothers, steven universe characters, various batman apprentices, and both sets of twins from gravity falls but this one really got me. Cmon man.

[tsunades-left-bicep]

Guys stop this is so mean. I'm literally nice. Stop calling me Itachi Uchiha. 😭😭😭😭😭😭 This is my real life little brother who told me this story 6 real life days ago!!! Come to think of it, he would be equally offended at being called Sasuke. Anyways you can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure if we check the facts Itachi actually gave Sasuke more nightmares. So. Itachi has nothing on my older sibling game.

[tsunades-left-bicep]

STOP CALLING ME ITACHI!!! I'M NOT ITACHICORE! I'M NOT ITACHICORE!!!!

(joker voice) you have one post on tumblr dot com blow up and people start thinking they know you.... saying you're a blorbo, calling you itachi uchiha.... society....

this is worse than getting called dean supernatural. free me.

[tsunades-left-bicep]

Never fucking mind, just watched the Obito reveals the truth about Itachi scene with my brother, and this fool turns to me and says "wow they really are just like us for real."

It's so over. Not beating the Itachicore allegations. My own beloved baby brother says this shit to me, right to my face.... even he thinks we're uchiha sibling coded.

I'm going to kill myself [remembers suicide is another Itachi trait] I'm going to live a normal and healthy life where I have regular relationships with loved ones

what is this genre of photos called

[writing-prompt-s]

You’re a regular office worker born with the ability to “see” how dangerous a person is with a number scale of 1-10 above their heads. A toddler would be a 1, while a skilled soldier with a firearm may score a 7. Today, you notice the reserved new guy at the office measures a 10.

[captain-acab]

You decide it’s best to find out what you can about this person. Cautiously, you approach his desk. He’s a handsome man, tall, but with a disarming smile. How could such a friendly guy with such cute, dorky glasses be dangerous?

You extend your hand. “I noticed you’re new here. What’s your name?”

He shakes your hand warmly. His gaze is piercing, as if he’s looking right through you. “The name’s Clark,” he says. “So, how long have you worked for the Daily Planet?”

[misscrazyfangirl321]

This one wins.

[janothar]

It’s been a few weeks, and one of Clark’s friends shows up.  She’s pretty and all, enough muscle that she must work out.  First thought would be that she should be maybe a 6.

Clark’s introducing her around.  “This is my good friend, Diana, she’s in from out of town.”

You blink, and take a step back in fear.  You’ve never seen an 11 before.

[aniseandspearmint]

The day Bruce Wayne shows up for his long promised interview with Lois Lane, you can’t help it, the mug your holding drops from your fingers and sends a shock of hot coffee and ceramic shards across the floor.

Clark stops a few feet away and squints at you worriedly from behind those ridiculous glasses you’re 99% sure he doesn’t actually need, and asks tentatively, “Everything all right?”

You ignore him in favor of staring at the inky dark numerals hovering over the beaming fool gesticulating some fantastic yacht story for a gaggle of secretaries and minor columnists.

That’s it. Your gift has officially gone haywire. There is no other explanation. Because there is absolutely no way that Brucie Wayne is a 10.

[petitstar]

At this point, you’ve seen it all. Miled manner reporters and billionaires at a 10 and a model-like woman at 11. You were really starting to doubt your power. The day you really stopped believeing in it was when Bruce Wayne came for another visit, and this time with a kid. The kid couldn’t be more than 10 years old, a bit on the short side.

He was an 8.

[lainathewitch]

The day you started believing in it again was when you saw on tv the formation of something called the justice league.

There were those same numbers over superman, batman, wonder woman and robin. That’s when you put two and two together. You wonder how nobody at the daily planet noticed that Clarke was Superman with glasses. You wonder why you didn’t notice. You wonder why nobody put two and two together that Diana Prince and Wonder Woman looked exactly the same. You look in the mirror as the realization hit you and you see your own number change from a 3 to a 9.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually reblogged this magnificent post and that’s shame.

Hyrulian vital statistics office after a new princess was born seeing a random farmer couple name their son Link: Ah shit, here we go again

[lyricwritesprose]

Given the whole "divinely touched savior," think, I bet Link is the most common boys' (and possibly girls') name in Hyrule. It makes standard European names like John look like passing fads. It's not that people really want their son to have to save the world, but sucking up to goddesses never hurt anyone's chances in life, did it?

Obviously the prophecied Link wouldn't be some rando who eats a fish halfway up a cliff and and avoids talking because, you don't really know, you've heard it's a speech impediment?? but he isn't entirely mute because you saw him do about twenty forward rolls through someone's garden patch once and he yelled, "Ha!" for every single one. Could be some other guys, but definitely not him.

As a scientist I find the concept of Cecil freely yapping about Carlos on the radio so funny because if I was in the lab just going about my experiments and then some person on the radio started talking about how hot I am I would get clowned on it by my coworkers beyond belief. Every time I walked into the lab the grad students there would’ve been like “there he is with his perfect hair 😩” and if the centrifuge broke “try asking it to work with your sweet caramel voice 😫” like deadass the lab would be insufferable for months

Do you hear the people sing Lost in the valley of the night? It is the music of a people Who are climbing to the light.

Hope I’m not too late for barricade day. I didn’t have much time to draw but I managed this at least.

[sadhoc]

there is a very real tendency of teenagers with anxiety disorders self diagnosing with considerably more stigmatized and impairing mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia, DID, personality disorders), but the best response to that isn't to get angry with them for "appropriating" lol. instead you show them coping resources for the problems they're actually having and deemphasize diagnostic categories in general. if an 18 year old is claiming to have alzheimer's, they're probably making an innocent mistake and are in genuine distress. be kind.

[mariaalenkoshepard]

Also I think this trend comes, at least in part, from how brushed aside anxiety disorders can be. If your parents and teachers dismiss you with 'oh everyone feels anxious', then inevitably you're going to start thinking that there must be something else going on with you

[lightblueminecraftorchid]

”You must feel very scared right now; let’s talk about how to help you personally, tailored to your symptoms” will always be more helpful than “stop faking (X) for attention”. If theyre that desperate for attention or an explanation, something is wrong.

[oldgrwth]

Tbf it doesn’t help that many more complex issues are misdiagnosed as anxiety. I was told I had anxiety for years, but nope, turns out it was asd, adhd, heds, pots and mcas.

I agree that genuine anxiety disorders also need to be taken more seriously, but that includes listening to them when they tell you they think it’s something else and exploring that possibility.

Anything else is just medical gaslighting.
