I don't want apologies, I want glitter...

Hi I'm Petch. 30. Aspiring Voice-Over artist. D&D blogger. I like to write and I enjoy strong coffee, delicious cat bellies, sharks, walruses, general sea animals, insects, foods and video games. I am married to Nicola and she makes me the happiest little nerd.

So I also got this for Christmas. A lot of you won’t recognise the hat and that’s fair. A lot of you may even think “lol fedora” but this is the same style hat from the same milliner that Sir Terry Pratchett wore. My mother in law bought me this for Christmas and I love it. It’s the same hat my hero wore. I will use this as a constant reminder of his words: “There's no such thing as writer's block. That was invented by people in California who couldn't write.” So bloody write.

2018 is the year of the dog so I’m out here gently begging 2018 to please, please be a good dog

[lightningbuster]

[petchatron]

Everyone on Facebook is doing these “OH WELL 2017 HAS BEEN A YEAR IN WHICH THESE THINGS HAPPENED AND I AM THANKFUL FOR BLAH BLAH BLAH” and it’s like... I don’t know.

I mean if you want to do the round up posts and stuff then go for it. For me it feels false? I dunno. I don’t think people really care what happened to me in the year.

I looked through my time hop a bit after that and saw me posting the same post for the last 5 years in various different forms. The message is the same but written differently, and with varying levels of desperation:

“PLEASE LET ME ACHIEVE SOMETHING”

And for fucking once I actually want to do something amazing this year. I don’t want to get to the beginning of 2019 without doing something truly remarkable, and genuinely good for my future.

I want to write more of Charming because I was doing so fucking well and could have had like over 100k words by now if I had kept up with it.

I want to get my Voice over tape out and get some jobs in and have a little time in the booth.

I want to look after myself better and maybe ACTUALLY see a doctor about my mental and physical health issues.

I want to be a better husband and just be a little more positive and spontaneous and less “ugh work was crap today, what am I doing with my life, whine whine whine”

I’m going to be 31 this year and I want this to be the last time I ever have to think like this. I want 2018 to be the year I finally and fully get my fucking act together and grow the fuck up.

So yeah, I’m not reflecting on the year but focusing on the next. No point in worrying or obsessing with the past. Let’s go.

Don’t ask why I spent most of my morning making a moral alignment chart for the poptart flavors

[petchatron]

I’m LE, closely followed by NE, and then CE...

Oh shit.

Just off to the panto. Apparently this one is about an American man who made the banks. Fun!

Listen up. There is literally an app that can help you avoid self harm and I don’t know why we aren’t talking about it.

Calm Harm can be tailored to your needs and will provide strategies to help you get past those crucial moments of wanting to harm.

It’s also totally FREE.

once again, it’s called CALM HARM

Charles Xavier: Hey there, newly emerged mutant who was just attacked for no other reason than being a mutant. Want to come join my ‘school’ where you’ll be indoctrinated into a one sided war, fighting on the side of your oppressors and doing everything in your power to seem like one of the ‘good muties’, including but not limited to wearing an image inducer to hide your grotesque appearance? Oh, also you can no longer use your powers to help yourself unless it falls into my list of acceptable uses like battling freedom fighters and branding them villains to further my agenda and push the narrative that there are good and docile mutants.

Merry Christmas! @nnicolakay got me a few little things to help me get my arse in gear and record a Voice Over reel and get some damn work. Let’s get 2018 sorted right!

christmas eve what about christmas adam

[qoti]

happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists

[forfuturereferenceonly]

Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.

Things That Strike Fear Into the Hearts of D&D Players

- When you’re travelling and the DM asks what your passive perception is, then starts looking at charts

- “Make a wisdom save.” “What for?” “You’ll see.”

- When the rest of the party agrees to a plan that the DM has heavily implied will end poorly

- When the DM winces after rolling damage

- When the DM says “You feel compelled to…” and you realize you failed that wisdom save earlier

- “Next session is going to be a lot of fun.”

- “I’m not quite sure if I balanced this fight properly, but we’ll see how it goes.”

- “Are you sure you wish to proceed?”

I still think Moana deserved an Oscar for this part

[i-want-cheese]

To me, the moral of Moana is that only women can help other women heal from male violence. 

The movie starts with the idea that the male god who wronged Te Fiti must be the one to heal her. This seems to make a certain sort of intuitive sense in that I think we all believe that if you do something wrong you should try to make it right. But how does he try to right it? Through more violence. Of course that failed. 

It was only when another woman, Moana, saw past the “demon of earth and fire” that the traumatized Te Fiti had become (what a good metaphor for trauma, right?) and met her with love instead of violence that she was able to heal. Note that they do the forehead press before Moana restores the heart, while Te Fiti is still Te Kā. Moana doesn’t wait for her beautiful island goddess to appear in all her green splendor before greeting and treating her as someone deserving of love.

Moana is only able to restore the heart because Te Kā reveals her vulnerability and allows Moana to touch her there. Maui and his male violence could only ever have resulted in more ruin.

[smalltall]

…this is exactly what I was trying to say and you put it beautifully. @i-want-cheese This is why the scene makes me tear up every damn time. Women’s honest, ugly reaction to trauma is almost never even depicted in films, let alone honored the way it is in Moana. Te Fiti doesn’t have to “rise above” being violated before she’s allowed to heal. Moana sees her and says

I know your name They have stolen the heart from inside you But this does not define you

She utterly accepts Te Fiti’s rage, her fear, her lashing out at anyone who comes near the remains of her ravaged body island. Female ugliness isn’t punished, it’s mourned and loved. What an indescribably comforting moment.

[teatoppy]

Welp I’m crying

[12thglokage-deactivated20200503]

Let us not forget that the cause of her rage was a narcissistic asshole who would do anything to make himself sound like a hero.

Damn y’all…..💔

UGH

There is no point to this point other than a wordless display of no reason

But still UGH fucking damn fuck ugh.

Just went to make a funny “daddy” joke on someone’s post on here like:

I don’t mean to alarm you, but daddy has become a sex thing! I was just as shocked!

But I don’t think the faux incredulity came across well enough. So I’m just going to post here that I COULD have been funny.
