huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while

this is why one of my favorite all-time paintings is Ship in Stormy Seas by Ivan Aivazovsky... he was really onto something there

THERE IS A BOAT BY IVAN AIVAZOVSKY!!

Ivan Aivazovsky could paint glowing water. One of the GOATs for sure.

Wow, such a beautiful fictional man... I love the beautiful fictional man 💜

When we were children, my sister had private music lessons at her violin teacher’s house. I only visited there once, but I still remember that afternoon. The teacher had an artificial pond in her yard, a large beautiful thing with lily pads and plant life. And in the pond, there were goldfish. I had never seen such enormous goldfish. 

I spent several minutes just staring at them (and trying to convince them to bite my fingers.) When my sister’s violin lesson ended, her teacher came out to the yard and explained that these goldfish were the same small creatures that were often unfortunately sold in plastic bags at state fairs. They were only about two inches long apiece, when she bought them and put them in the new, empty pond. In essence, they were like every goldfish I had seen before, but they had been given a much larger, much richer environment in which to flourish. As a result, they had grown into some of the most remarkable, vibrant creatures my twelve-year-old self had ever met with. All because of a pond. 

Funny what lessons children remember. My sister doesn’t play the violin anymore, but that was the first time I caught a glimpse of the overwhelming extent to which it matters, the way the world treats us.

size difference kink but in the “i grew up being made fun of for being chubby so now the idea of a giant of a man being able to toss me around and tower over me without making my weight a problem makes me really horny” way, you get what im saying?

So I played the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition for the first time.

I am DEVASTATED.

The last time I cried this hard for a game was DA Veilguard, specifically for the Fade prison sequence. If you know, you know😭

So shoutout to BioWare, I guess, for making me feel genuine loss for characters I grew intensely attached to.

But truly though, what a fucking great experience. I probably won’t ever play again, and not because I didn’t enjoy every second of it, but because I need at least 13 years to recover from that.

I knew two spoilers going in (because be for real this game is over a decade old)

1. the END(sort of?)💀

2. you can romance the alien with the sexy voice

careers in science & academia are so Cassandra-coded. you possess a Great and Burdensome Knowledge (at heavy cost*), which is both its own reward and its own punishment. and no one fucking listens to you
