As I'm posting more of my writing both here on tumblr and on Ao3, I figured I'd start a master list. I will do my best to update as I go.
- All my QL drabbles and oneshots. are compiled here, including those I've posted on tumblr.
- My original story Experiment Squared, can be found here.
My landlord just shared the living shit out of me while i was chilling on my couch pantless
Why does he always come by at hours no one expects to have surprise visitors????? Im always scrambling for proper people clothes when he knocks on my door
But anyways, my "fuck what do i do with keys?" Dilemma about my move has been resolved. Gave him one of my copies, and i will leave the other inside when i leave
I just learned that the Russian word for “ladybug” translates to “God’s Little Cow”
It’s the same in Irish! bóín Dé!
in hebrew it’s “our rabbi moses’s cow”
Oh I love this news!!!!
Multiple cultures upon seeing a ladybug for the first time: “Who’s cow is this????”
It feels like some early humans were naming things and one of them ran out of ideas.
Human 1: (points at animal) What’s that?
Human 2: Cow.
Human 1: (points at bug) What’s that?
Human 2: … little cow.
Human 1: But it’s so much smaller. Who would have use for such a small cow?
Human 2: (panicking but in too deep to stop now) God.
The “Lady” in the name “ladybug” is the virgin Mary. People just cannot stop giving religious names to this bug.
The reason for this was that if you lived in an agrarian society then your survival was a throw of the dice every year, depending on the success of the crops. A failed crop year is a very hard year where deaths are expected. And if you grew a cereal like wheat, there were several things that could cause your crops to fail, but one of the big ones was if you happened to get a fuckton of aphids. You know what eats aphids? Ladybugs! If there are lots and lots of ladybugs around, there was a good chance that it’d be a good crop year! They were little crop protectors! When your family lives or dies on the success of that crop, of course they’d be seen as a blessing and given an appropriate name!
That is such an interesting etymology!!!!
And entomology too i guess
in German they’re Marienkäfer which also pretty much means “Mary’s Beetle”
In French it’s “Good Lord’s Beast”
Not even a cow, it’s just a little Creature but we know for sure God loves it.
In Dutch it’s “Lieveheersbeestje”, the Good Lord’s Little Beast
A liddol creeture
In french it's called "coccinelle" which is unrelated to god, but rather to brightness of color (latin word for "écarlate"), but it is or was also commonly referred to as "bête a bon Dieu" which roughly translates to "our good God's little beast"

We really gotta give credit to the sapien partners and close friends of the cluster, cos there's so fucking much to unpack there
Self rb because i gotta talk about them
Like we got Jela and Amanita, who are in the loop pretty much from day 1 and just go with it.
"Oh, Capheus, you're seeing the spirit of Jean-Claude Van Damme, which can sometimes possess you to beat the gangsters out for your head? Sure. I'm glad she's there to help"
"My girlfriend can see and hear seven other people in her head, and there's a mega corp out to kill her because of it, and they've commissioned the fbi to capture her? Yeah, they'll do that those assholes"
10/10 amazing no notes.
Detective Mun finds out somehow (i can't remember) but like this is far from the weirdest thing about Sun or their relationship. He's all in playing cliche korean tourist for the gang
Hell yeah man, i just wish he wasn't a cop.
Felix and Bug are 100% supportive from the day they find out about the cluster thing, they done shrooms, this isn't that surprising.
I love them. They aren't just comic relief. They actually matter, and they are wonderful additions to the team.
Daniella and Hernando are baffled at first.
Daniella quickly gets over it and is ride or die.
Duh, have you met her?
Hernando needs buffering time to process his existential questions.
Which honestly, is the most sane reaction lmao. Cos same Hernando, same
Diego? Honestly, the man is just relieved to have any sort of coherent explanation for his bestie's downward spiral and still helps him get away with illegal shit
Which is more than i expected, given how things were going at some point. Kudos
Rajan, my man, he's the last one to find out and the only one to find out by walking into the whole gang + their sapien friends/partners together, in person. THIS HAPPENS IN HIS VILLA. So yeah, understandably he freaks the fuck out at first. But then he commits 110% and co-opts Kala's german bf in process.
Iconic. No one is doing it like him.
I can't exactly remember if how much Riley's dad knows, i know he doesn't know the details with BPO, but about the cluster and his daughter being a different kind of human? Anyways, if he does, i know he approached it in a very 60s stoner way who loves his daughter to bits, cos thats how he is.
So this latest edition of "i made a small fuck up exponentially worse because of my anxiety and avoidance issues" has finally given me the kick in the ass that I need to straighten out all of my finance shit. I'm taking an appointment on monday to get help from someone who does this for a living
Y'all i came so close to screwing myself over (again) by letting my anxiety (which makes me extremely avoidant) win. Thankfully, I was able to work things out and its as good as it could be given everything
Unfortunately, im so wired now that idk if i'll be able to get any rest before im at my new place
i think i don't really vibe with most other fans of my favorite male characters is because they usually depict them too much of a man, and i am not interested in men, i am interested in The Character. and i am not saying that they should depict them as women, or nonbinary, or should depict them as feminine, no, not at all. but there's like, you know, you can depict a male character as The Character, and you can depict them as The Man. do you get me? like, i go to the fandom looking for art and fics, and it's just, regardless of his actual characterization, it's all just fantasizing about some kind of an abstract dominant patriarch, wearing my favorite character's face. it may be the most totally-wouldnt-have-normal-relationships (and sometimes even would-literally-abuse-you) kind of guy, and you join a dedicated space for his fans, and all they talk about is how they want to marry and start a tradcore 50s style nuclear family with him. it can be a guy who's arrogance and attempts of domination are explicitly shown to be a facade that hide the fact that he's actually kind of a massive pathetic wet loser, and you go to his fics, and they're all depicting him as a caricaturish daddy dom. at this point it's like, do you even like the character at all, or do you just like The Man, and project this man onto whatever character you find visually attractive? and these people kind of, really really poison actual discussion of the character, who is kind of a fucked up evil person (i only like *those* types, so im talking about them) because they see analysis of the actual character as an attack on their fantasized daddy dom husband, who is actually isn't The Character at all, and is simply a face of the day for The Man
sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.
I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?
and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.
cops r Some Guy with a Gun
do we want Some Guy with a Gun in this situation? answer is usually "NO"
This is legitimately useful reframing. A while ago I started replacing the word "cop" in my vocabulary with "a man with a gun." It really puts things into perspective.
This homeless person is making me uncomfortable. Should I call [a man with a gun]?
My neighbor is having a loud party. Should I get [a man with a gun] involved?
There are some teenagers skateboarding. Do you think [a man with a gun] would get rid of them for me?
It makes it very clear what you're saying. I can call a man with a gun to threaten or hurt someone mildly inconveniencing me. You're not calling the cops, you're calling A MAN WITH A GUN into a situation that does not warrant a firearm handled by a volatile lunatic who will not be held accountable for his actions.

YOU MANIAC Q18
Occasionally, I think that I want to get back into kpop, or at least back into the fandoms of my favs. Then, I get war flashbacks and put that thought back on the shelf
this is my new fave shinee story.... they talk a lot about how 2nd gen kpop was a lot of local outdoor festivals in rural areas for the farmers and the elderly but this is the funniest one.
key: back then people didn't have navigation on their phones so you had to buy it and install it in your car separately.
park myungsoo: i like it, very relatable
key: and we kept going deeper and deeper into the mountains in the pouring rain and had no idea where we were going, and suddenly two elk were running across the road
park myungsoo: that's very dangerous
key: and we finally got there and the audience was just 50 monks wearing rain ponchos sitting outside
park myungsoo: so it was a temple? you performed ring ding dong at a temple??
key: it was a temple, and we did, and we couldn't figure it out. what is this event, and why do they need shinee to be there?? why were we there??
