#enjoy your nightly nature posting #this one has sounds!#more people should go stand ankle-deep and barefoot in creeks more often #it would be good for them

something about loss, growing up and the lies you're told for a sketchbook exchange I'm part of

#this one has often been a hard one for me #there are so many selves I could have been #and sometimes I long to be them still #but becoming them would mean giving up the one I'm living now #because at the end of the day you still only have 24 hours #and at the end of the day you ultimately have to choose

The Great Mosque of Samarra during fog, Samarra, Iraq

#oh my gods this is lovely #the shapes are so smooth #and of course we love the fog #makes it feel even more like something between times #out of another time but also so very much in this one #because it is

if you aren't best friends with your lover and a little bit in love with all your friends than what's the fucking point

#so very true #on both counts

#I love that someone one and a half thousand or more years ago #decided they wanted this for their floor #and I love that we still have it now

something about love makes you look at things differently. the really important part of this is that any love will work. if you love blue you will see it everywhere. if you love soft things you will note the cat and the thread count and the moss. you will find your best friend in ugly greeting cards and haunted dolls and terrible fanfics and since they remind you of her they will be beautiful.

so you will love the world differently for having loved someone else. you will love a certain cereal or pokemon because of your brother. you will hear your favorite band's song playing in a random store and the love of it will make the whole world a little more golden. you will read a poem so many times the words become their own creatures. you will find you cannot listen to certain music without thinking of your favorite show.

this velveteen rabbit transformation occurs. the love does not stop, it echoes.

#it's so very true #and the world is so much more lovely to look at #when you remember to love it #it's so easy to sit in wonder of the ordinary #when you have loved and it echoes through #in all those small and meandering and unexpected ways #and it makes it all more meaningful too #of all the things I have struggled with #this has never been one #and I'm glad for it

Picked some magnolia petals and discovered as they started to wilt at creases they turned a beautiful warm brown color. Then got the idea to use a silverpoint stylus to scratch a magnolia drawing into the petal~ smells divine

#this is very pretty #while I've done this with bananas #this is a much better choice of medium #and it absolutely would smell lovely too

Do people know about public libraries. Do people know how much stuff is there

#I am contractually obligated to reblog this one #(it's not actually in my contract but shhhhh)#for real though libraries these days are waaaaaaaaay beyond just books #like they have a ton of books too and you can often even borrow books from neighboring library systems if yours doesn't have it #but also they have a ton of other things too #movies and games and printing services and community consultations and programs #lots of cool programs #and space you can just sit and exist without having to pay for things #this is your sign to go to your local library this week and check it out

I find the "rules are toys" framing of tabletop RPG design useful for several reasons:

The idea that system matters is reducible to recognising that toys have affordances; while there is of course no "wrong" way to play with a toy, no amount of open-mindedness will readily fit a bicycle through a basketball hoop.

It puts a line under one of the main objections to the "why not just freeform it?" thing; if folks are discussing how to make or modify a toy to achieve a particular set of affordances, blundering into the conversation going "why bother with toys when you can Use Your Imagination?" is unlikely to be well received!

Sometimes it's helpful to take a step back from a critique of a particular system and ask yourself: is this set of game mechanics really broken or incomplete, or have I mistaken a bicycle for a basketball?

#I rather like this framing #hum #this seems like a not unreasonable tool for rules days #and I think folks will more or less understand it #see also:#are we actually - rather that disagreeing about how to make a toy work - having a disagreement about how to play toys in the first place?#and that maybe folks just want to play with their toys in different ways?

you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself

You know how we call things "pseudoscience"... the media analysis that's being done on twitter and tumblr should be pseudohumanities

#yeah that sounds about right #no notes

when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

AND SO IS BEING SOMEBODY'S MOTHER‼️

#when I was seven I decided that I was never going to have a crush on anyone #because I was already aware then that I was wholly uninterested in being bound by gender norms #and as far as I was aware that came with the territory of being born a girl #I also decided I was not going to brush my hair #because that would be caring about my appearance which I was also not going to do because fuck that #which worked out somewhat less well because uh long hair #it would have been nice to have had the sense that these things - not the hair thing; the others - were optional #and neither inevitable nor binding

Something by I love about Black Menswear is how they’re not afraid of color and personality. It’s not just the same boring black or blue suit jacket every time. It’s also just very dapper.

YESSS i especially love the florals...

#I too fall into camp “I wish menswear had more colors”#and also interesting patterns #I love a lot of the purple ones #and also the pinks #these are lovely #and dapper as hell

"The Stunning Masks of Menighbe" ✨️

Exploring the dark side of mythology through these incredible handcrafted pieces. The level of detail is out of this world.

#mythology is a good word for this #there's a particular sort of logic that is specifically mythological in nature #and this very much has it #something about iterations on a theme and motif #something on the very fundamental nature of the motif itself being repeated #something about the framing of a story

#damn I wish I looked like this #and also had this sense of style #I gotta get me a leather jacket bro #(a jacket at all would be good too 'cause mine's busted and has been for years)#(but like #it might as well be a leather jacket)
