ART yelling at its crew to do their laundry because Murderbot's important person Dr Mensah is going to be onboard and it needs to make a good impression because it wants Mensah to approve of their 'relationship' and be okay with them 'moving in together', and then being so nice to Dr Mensah when it's been an overbearing, domineering, sarcastic nightmare the whole book is something that is so special to me

#time for my annual reread i think #mbd #murderbot my beloved

werewolf-transgenderism

made an irresponsible indie clothing brand purchase but in my defense it's got fun medievalisms going on and also I am allergic to spending money on myself

werewolf-transgenderism

someone asked for pictures so here you go. my irresponsible purchase from the hushfall archives

I should also note that this brand is entirely trans-run so that's another pro for me. it's not an irresponsible purchase I'm just supporting a small trans business :)

From the OP: "If you sit at a desk or stare at your phone all day, this is for you. Here's how to undo the damage: - Banded Chin Tucks - Strengthen your neck flexors and fight forward head posture - Banded Pull-Aparts - Target your rotator cuff and improve shoulder stability - Banded Abduction - Activate the midline of your scapula for better posture - Lateral Deltoid Raises - Build shoulder stability and control - Banded Up-and-Overs – Boost scapular mobility and range of motion These simple banded drills will help you stand taller, move better, and feel stronger - even after hours at a desk."

Some of these are the same or similar to the exercises my physical therapist taught me.

Seated Lion Pomander Probably South German, c. 1575 Gold, diamonds, rubies, enamel 2 13/16 × 1 1/4 × 1 7/8 in. (7.1 × 3.2 × 4.8 cm)

The Frick Collection

“Cast in gold and made of six distinctive parts—body, tail, head, collar, crown, and heart—this seated lion has a pelt and a flowing mane richly mounted with cut and faceted diamonds and rubies. The head and collar are set with rubies, diamonds, and black enamel. The chasing creates the effect of fur. The lion clutches a gold heart with diamonds, which bears an Italian inscription that may be a line from a poem: Che.gire.ancor qu.i.s.oggi orna (Here the heart adorns itself today so as to keep beating). The head, which can be unscrewed, and the small holes located on the head—in the nostrils and the mouth—identify this work as a pomander, a small object meant to contain aromatic substances and protect against disease.”

Curator’s Reflection:

“There is something so irresistible about this lion—his small size, the way he looks at us with his head slightly tilted, how he was sculpted and chiseled, the way the stones are integrated. It’s all extremely delicate. The lion is a pomander, an object designed to contain aromatic substances such as citrus, musk, civet, ambergris, cloves, cinnamon, and rosemary in the form of a powder or paste. If you look closely at the lion’s mouth and nostrils, you can see the holes from which scents emanated. This object is also a piece of jewelry to be worn around the neck or attached to a girdle. Many small Renaissance objects such as this had this double function. For instance, a piece of jewelry might have one side designed to be used as a toothpick and the other as the equivalent of a modern Q-tip. Both children and adults often had their portraits made while wearing such pieces, including pomanders. This fascinating object offers us an insight into the jewelry typically worn by elites in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and also informs us about period fashion trendshygienic practices and prophylactic treatments.”

the draw of arranged marriage AUs to me is really the way the dubcon of it all binds them together. neither of them have a choice in being here, something else is foisting this upon them whether that’s their parents or the political situation around them or expectation or something else, but the point is that they don’t get that one choice. so they have to make a choice somewhere else, that now that they’re here, they’re going to make it work. they’re each other’s only allies, in this cage built around them. they may have been coerced into swearing to stand by each other through anything, but they did swear.

it’s not love at first, or second, or third sight. it’s not love in the wedding bed the first time, whether they grit their teeth through it or decide together to forgo that binding step and try to get around it as long as they can. it’s about sharing a bed with a stranger while you learn their nightmares and how they hog the covers. it’s about sharing a name before you even know each other’s hobbies. the appearances you have to keep up, and the connection you find in both being exhausted by them, laughing together because isn’t it ridiculous how you not only have to be married but you have to act like it’s perfect and lovely for everyone else watching. it’s love that creeps up quiet and slow, between shared secrets that make your wedding bands mean something for the first time, and trying to protect each other from the trap you’re both in. and it’s about having the mortifying thought of “oh my god, i have a crush on my wife.”
