Every morning, the queen asked her magic mirror to show her the most beautiful person in the world.

The mirror replied "To whom?"

"The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of".

The mirror would show her, and she'd be amazed.

[nullen-void]

The first time, she says "To me," and the mirror dutifully shows her her reflection. And she is pleased.

The second time, she says "To the King," and she is pleased to see herself once more.

The third time, she says "To the Royal Advisor," and is once more satisfied to see herself.

The fourth time, she says "To the scribe who takes the King's letters." She is shown the man's wife. And she seethes, but quiets herself, for it is only right that a man loves his wife.

The fifth time, she says "To the Court Wizard," and is shown the man's departed mother as he remembers her from his youth, radiant and smiling and warm and larger than life.

The tenth time, she says "To the Stable Master," and is shown the fastest horse in the stable, majestic and free as the wind even in captivity

"To the baker," she is shown the man's daughter, young and adorable and full of joy and laughter.

"To the artist who did my portrait," she is shown a painting of a woman done by the man's teacher, who he still looks up to now that he is well established himself.

"To the Royal Knight," she is surprised but not displeased to see the castle's entire guard force in the middle of doing drills.

The one hundredth time she asks the mirror, and it asks her "to whom?" she once again says, "To me." And she does the same the one hundred and second, and again and again and again.

It is a different person each time, and they are all beautiful.

It's always "stop harming yourself or we'll have to lock you up!!!" and never "what do you need to change to want to harm yourself less and how can we help you make some of these changes?" and that's why we're not getting anywhere

[chironeis]

eva stratt as humanity's biggest lovergirl. she cries at nature documentaries. she devotes herself to studying the cultures she's saved, she mourns that she can't join in on their dances and festivals. (she was never much of a dancer anyway, but she wishes she had the chance to try.) she advocates fiercely for human rights causes from her jail cell, writes letters to political leaders she's worked with just to shame them for denying little girls an education or sending little boys off to wars. just to prove that it was all worth it.

eva stratt who never stops fighting for her planet, even after she saves it.

Yj girlies but theyre in uni. More close ups & some thoughts beneath the cut!

1. I’m not 100% happy with Cassie’s hero outfit, but I do like the gloves. She’s always punching people so i thought it would be fun if she had some armoured gloves. Also i like the goggles she had in her pre tt03 costumes so i brought them back

2. I miss Anita dc please bring her back. Let her go out and be a hero Maad can look after the kids it’s fine.

3. I headcanon that Greta runs cold as a side effect of being a ghost for so long, so she’ll always dress warmly. Another headcanon is that she uses a cane bc when she was a ghost she was always floating & her body isn’t fully used to supporting itself yet now that she’s alive. It was a lot worse right after she was made human again, but now she’s able move around with just a cane for support.

4. Idk what cissies outfit is i just think she’d like to experiment with cutesy stuff

I fully see Tim as an extrovert and Jason as an introvert.

Tim needs people and loves interactions. Jason likes people fine but needs small groups and alone time. I think Jason would really be happy with a small social circle to visit in small or planned doses but Tim "Protector of Friends" Drake and his 100+ close friends needs hangouts like water.

BUT Tim also likes quiet activities but wants to do them around people so the solution is clearly that he can do an individual activity while Jason does his own and Jason gets functional alone time while Tim gets the presence of another person he needs. Parallel activities for the win.

In this essay...

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:

Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need

The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to

You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking

No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)

Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.

Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!

Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.

This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.

All respect to Eva Stratt because when she said “at all costs” she meant that shit, none of that “at any cost except my loved ones or my soul” business

I’ve been obsessed with this idea since u first read the new SVSSS extra because it’s SO MESSY. (I know we don’t know how old SY is but I’m making the decision for the funniest outcome)

op's tags: tfw you know there’s an age gap on one of your relationships but you can’t agree on whose and which direction it goes, Shang Qinghua is the same age as Mobei-Jun and 30 years older, Shen Qingqiu is 40 years older than Luo Binghe but also 5 years younger and the same age and six years older, sqh: I will pay you to call LBH gege, SQQ: bro you are broke, later on after an argument with Binghe, SQQ: that’s enough gege!, *older man kink revoked!*, LBH just blue screens, I had too many thoughts about this can you tell

there's nothing wrong with catharsis but sometimes it's just. ah. the author is giving their righteous spiel with the characters as mouthpieces. right

Ok I'm losing my mind because there was a children's picture book I vividly remember from my childhood in which a mole does a series of tasks for other animal villagers and in the end he is given an award for being "a helpful mole"

And I *thought* the name of the book was "the helpful mole" but the internet is telling me this book does not exist

Less confident in this part, but I vaguely remember it being a series of hole-in-the-bucket style tasks, where the mole needed a new spoon to eat his porridge, and at the end of his helpful mole tasks they awarded him a silver spoon. It was probably British, and I think the art style was somewhat like the Mouse Soup books.

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?

New airplanes should be built with one seat in the very back in a little closet with a lockable reinforced door. It's called the Brig. Flying in the Brig seat is a miserable experience, dark with uncomfortable seating and Bathroom Smell from nearby.

However.

The price of the Brig seat is one third of the price of the cheapest ticket on the plane. And if someone on the plane gets rowdy and pitches a fit, they get restrained and sent to the Brig so that nobody has to Turn This Plane Around. And if you're flying Brig, you get their seat.

I can't decide if I'm a genius or if I just invented the Torment Nexus (Travel Edition).
