kind of obsessed w the idea that manual labor makes you fit and athletic. bro these people have chronic back pain and repetitive motion injuries
Depending on your definition of fit and athletic, it’s probably both. Athletes have lots of chronic pain and repetitive motion injuries 🙃
Next years met gala theme shoold be the cw's supernatural
some elf bullshit happened
The Silmarillion Abridged
I think you’ll find that Tolkien uses “elven bullshit” in his lexicon.
there’s absolutely something to be said about ‘booktok’ books being largely wattpad quality written erotica i’m certainly not reading them however having seen a guy on tiktok make a video like ‘all the women in your life are READING PORN’ about a book he picked up and read in his FEMALE FRIEND’S HOUSE in a tone of scandalised horror and disgust i actually don’t think men should be making those criticisms. he said he picked it up expecting a romance and was horrified it was GOONER SHIT he said specifically like ‘who are you getting your pussy wet FOR??’ in a tone of revulsion. idk man im not sure shes the weird one. i kind of wish you were dead
"a lot of books that are successful on booktok are not very good" and "people can read what they want and we need to stop being so fucking weird about women enjoying erotica" are both correct statements
Controversial opinion but I do not think Dev Patel would be a good Heathcliff. His aura is too friendly. His vibes are too fresh. He is a great actor but he can’t control the fact he has the sweetest eyes I have ever seen on a human being. It was what made him an excellent Gawain, even when his character was being awful, his natural charisma made him impossible to truly despise. We need a true embittered brooder for Heathcliff.
#I still maintain he would be the Jonathan Harker of all time though
He just looks like he wants to sell some real estate, incredibly naively.
as someone who doesnt watch a lot of tv shows but does watch a lot of video essays, there is nothing more exciting than a popular tv show ending badly. its like a whalefall for my youtube recommendations. thank you stranger things also sorry that happened
Everyone's all "ohhh 2026 bring back physical media" until I start talking illuminated manuscripts and then suddenly we're not on the same page anymore
I made an illuminated manuscript skin for AO3? So im doing my part!
People who interpret "character playlist" as "playlist of songs the character would listen to" as opposed to the good and honorable "playlist that represents the character" are so alien they're chasing me and my cat around the spaceship. That metaphor got away from me. Much like the cat
got a major pest problem this year actually
You think “oh it would be useful to learn how to identify my thrifted yarn and clothing” and before you know it you’ve been recruited by fiber witches giving out their spells willy nilly, again
You’ve heard of stitch & bitch? Next try stitch & witch! Take action on your complaints!
Meanwhile, my knitting club is primarily composed of health care professionals and we complain about our patients being denied insurance coverage.
Did. Did we cause Luigi? *knitting intensifies*
An incomplete list of reasons why crafting helps my mental health (and might help yours, too):
It stops me from doom scrolling: can't go on social media if my hands are full of yarn.
It gives me a sense of agency: a lot of things are messed up in a way that's beyond my control, but I can make something that didn't used to exist. It's evidence that I'm alive and I can impact the world, even if the impact is small.
It builds my tolerance for mistakes: I grew up a perfectionist , which is really bad for my wellness and my ability to complete tasks. But crafts are a great source of low-stakes mistakes to help me learn how to handle imperfection. And while there are certainly mistakes I'll always fix, I also have many opportunities to decide a mistake is acceptable and leave it in favor of getting to the finish line.
It interrupts rumination: even if I'm still chewing on some troubling news, it's not front of mind if I need to focus on getting this seam straight or whatever
It helps me meet good people: although there are obvious exceptions, I've found most craft-centered spaces (IRL and online) to be full or supportive, kind, helpful people in all walks of life
It encourages a growth mindset: I'm always learning new things in crafting, and that builds my identity as someone who can grow and improve.
And finally, making your own clothes is empowering: I know this is specific to fiber crafts, but it's important. When you make your own clothes, you flip the notion that you're supposed to "fit into" a certain size and instead remember that clothes are supposed to fit you. You get to learn how to dress the body you have with love and care, instead of allowing manufacturers decide how clothes should look.
I’d like to second all this!
Crafters are usually delighted to teach someone their craft or chat about their experience.
When I knit on public transit, nice old ladies will approach me to ask about what I’m working on.
I run a stitch&bitch at my gym and we have extra sets of needles/hooks and yarn so newbies can try it out without buying stuff. Nothing is funnier than teaching fine motor skills to a hapless bro.
I’ve gotten some high quality yarn and needles/hooks from thrift shops so it doesn’t have to be a super expensive hobby (just be wary of the yarn-buying addiction that comes for us all).
There are great YouTube videos and free patterns out there for anyone to use. Anyone! They just give them away for free! Share the love!
can anyone find me that mesopotamian clay tablet telling you to marry a party girl because she'll bring you joy
It's from the "Maxims of Ptahhotep", purportedly written by a 96-year-old vizier to pass on his wisdom to his son:
If you marry a good-time girl
A joyful woman known to her town,
If she is wayward,
and revels in the moment,
do not reject her, but instead let her enjoy;
joyfulness is what marks calm water.
yay ty. Between the above and the links in the mentions we have 3 translations total
Happy Wife Happy Life is 4.5k years old
Other sites also have the "Does anyone have this image?" posts, but only on tumblr you'll find "Does anyone have that mesopotamien clay tablet?" posts.
so i was inspired by this tweet
i’m just gonna pretend daft punk was in pacific rim. i’m gonna pretend that they pilot a jaeger called electroma bravo and they blast house music with the kaidonovskys and when stacker shows raliegh around the shatterdome he’s like, “that’s thomas and guy-man. french. they never take their helmets off.”
#i would even believe their jaeger was just called ‘daft punk’ tbh #just for the image of like Battleaxe Triumph or whatever get into trouble and they call back up like ‘deploy Daft Punk!’ #and it had a like a reuters news tickertape display on the outside scrolling like ‘bonjour’ #and then the beat drops and the punching starts
“Daft Punk are brilliant. I love Daft Punk.”
I am not trying to be disrespectful but sometimes you use big/sophisticated words in your cowboy fic (it's the first one I have read of yours and I am enjoying it a lot!) and it makes me think you use AI or something similar. Again, I do not mean this to be rude but I'm curious if you do.
i use 'big words' because i have a law degree.
it's harder to sexualize garak's profession if you ever sewed before. garak on his knees. trying to find a comfortable position to cut fabric in on the floor because it's not really a table thing and also you don't have a table big enough and you can't lean on the fabric bc then it shifts god fucking damn it that was not the line you were supposed to cut at. now everything's fucking ruined
On the other hand, if you've ever had clothing tailor made for you it's quite easy to sexualize Julian's experience with Garak's profession.
Even in the most professional of settings its still quite an intimate thing, let alone if there's bubbling sexual tension involved. A person so close within your space, hands lightly running over you, smoothing wrinkles, lining up seams, carefully placing pins. And as the person being fitted you must remain still, you must be trusting, unbalanced and vulnerable. You must allow yourself to be inspected and measured, to have your body be known by another person. They may be on their knees in front of you, but they hold all the cards in that moment, and all you can do is trust.
What I'm saying is, in fanfic we're really missing out on the comedy of mismatched perceptions of the same scene.
Julian, thinking to himself, "He's so close, I can feel his breath on my neck, his hands on my chest and waist. Stars, is he about to make his move?"
Garak, meanwhile, "Fuck, why isn't this laying the way I want it to? I should've used that stiffer interfacing, and now I'll have to completely re-do these lapels. I'm too sober for this."
inception is a decent movie but there's so much horror tragedy potential written into its premise and the implications of its worldbuilding and being able to see that and do nothing about it makes me feel deranged
dream technology was developed by the military "so soldiers could practice shooting, stabbing and strangling each other". the only way to escape a dream before it ends is by killing yourself or convincing someone to kill you. you can live entire lifetimes in a dream, only to wake up to the disorientation of realising that only hours have passed in the waking world. prolonged exposure to dream-sharing tech carries the high risk of inducing psychosis to the point that you can no longer tell the difference between dreams and reality. you can carry a "totem" that behaves differently in a dream to counter this, but if anyone else gets their hands on it and figures out how it works, it's game over. dreaming is so addictive that some people sacrifice their waking lives to keep dreaming for longer. people can be hired to break into your mind and take anything they want from it, down to your most intimate parts, and sell them for profit. if that's not paranoia-inducing enough, entering someone else's mind carries the risk of being hunted down and torn to pieces by manifestations of their own psyche in a subconscious act of self-defence that cannot be controlled, because what you are doing is invasive and violent. the premise of the film rests on a superrich man hiring a group of people to fundamentally alter a man's identity because inheriting his father's corporation has the potential to make him a BUSINESS COMPETITOR. the leader of said heist team is so haunted by the suicide of his wife that he (unintentionally) caused by violating her mind to the point of madness that he locks the rest of them into a labyrinth of his own guilt, stalked by the minotaur her vengeful ghost. oh, and on the right cocktail of drugs, you can't wake up from a nightmare, and will instead end up in pure unconstructed unreality, surrounded only by decaying structures built by those who inhabited it before you, whose intentions and regrets might still haunt the landscape like a malevolent physical presence.
and you still have to go to work in the morning!
