*if you know/have confirmed from multiple sources, pick the first one you experienced

[angloirishnolanist]

Yes, from child birth

[kitcatling]

Yes, from science class.

[travelbasscase]

Yes, i was curious and i had $8 to spare. because i was 15 at the time i couldn't donate and my doctor refused to test my blood because she said there was no point when if i were to be in an emergency they'd test it on site anyway and in a year i'd be able to donate and then i'd know. but i didn't accept that so i bought a kit. it was fun! love cool science experiments that can be done at home.

Me, meal prepping: wow so efficient so healthy so convenient so yummy :)

Me the second I have to eat meal-prepped food: well may be I don want that >:(

[lambkincry]

Dreaming about: To be someone's redeemer, a tough looking person that one might expect to be gruff and intimidating, but actually kind and helpful one, that is strong enough to take care of someone in need.

Me actually: Timid, lacking in both physical and mental prowess, traumatized, usually the one in need of assistance, often on a verge of crying.

the last voicemail I got from my sister

posting this here so I don’t have to go into my voice memos every time I want to read it

“Hey ——! Just wanted to let you know I’ll be home pretty soon. So sorry I wasn’t here for your graduation, but I PROMISE I’ll take you out for ice cream or something when I get back, okay? Mom told me you had a good time, and I’m glad you did! When I get back we’ll talk about high school and stuff and I’ll let you know some tips. Wow, high school. I cannot BELIEVE how old you’re getting!!! I miss when you were little. Anyway, this is getting pretty long and I gotta go, tell mom I say hi and that I’m doing well, and I’ll be home in about a week? Don’t quote me on that, it might be shorter or longer, but I’ll try not to keep you waiting too long. Okay bye baby I love youuu!!!” June 2nd 2019

what i would give to just talk and hold my sister’s hand again.

just for a minute.

tell her how much ive missed her since she went away.

how much i wish i could tell and show her what’s been happening the last 10 months.

how much i wish i could trade places with her.

how beautiful, loving, and fucking hilarious she was.

how badly i want her to come back but i know she isnt in pain anymore.

just for a minute.

one single minute to hold her hand and laugh with her again.

anything at all with her; one minute; 60 seconds to see her and hold her hand.

i miss her more than words could explain.

[fairycosmos]

every time i try to meditate i just end up crying

[painsthegame]

whump is such a strange thing for me. ‘oh im having trouble shouldering the burdens of daily life, let me play scenes in my head of someone getting the shit kicked out of them (fictionally), that’ll make me feel better’ and it DOES

[zxenilittlefloras]

when your giving your whumpee trauma but realise its just your trauma on steroids and they actually get help and dont need to deal with it alone and have a mental support system and you know they eventually will get better and someone does indeed care for them but not you, never you.

hit a little too hard

PLEASE DO NOT USE TIKTOK AS A RESOURCE FOR HELLENIC POLYTHEISM

Tiktok is probably one of THE WORST places to learn about REAL hellenic polytheism because it is rampant with misinformation and most creators are only interested in views and parroting misinformation THEY heard. Yes there are some great and informative creators on there to learn about the hellenic gods but they are far and few in-between.

INSTEAD if you're new to the religion and have no clue where to start researching/learning, here are a few phenomenal creators on here with wonderful and informative posts!

@wisdom-devotee has an amazing guide for starting out in hellenic polytheism

@seasaltdevotion also recently made a fantastic post on resources for starting out

@crazycatsiren has a SUPER long list of resources and research material

@khaire-traveler has possibly the greatest list on subtle deity worship for just about every god

Please actually learn from those of us that truly love and covet this religion and spread information that will truly benefit you.

I think about this painting of my mom I made when I was 14 daily

[dreammorium]

Once in a while l remember how my child self would be furious whenever she read an age appropriate book in which no whump happened at all (or no whump happened to my favorite character). I didn't understand why I felt so frustrated and I couldn't tell anybody, so I just quietly imagined the whump myself. Out of spite. Like a fucking whump justice warrior.

i don’t give a fuck if i “sound like chatgpt,” you will pry—my em dash—from my cold—dead—hands—fuck you fuck you fuck you
