I'm just a silly little dude full of many mysteries and much whimsy

[resonantkpendulum]

Think I might start using tags to organize things around here

#PendulumRants = me ranting

#PendulumYearning = me yearning for a boyfriend

#PendulumReblogs = when I reblog other people's posts

#☀️ = for Apollo

#🚗 = for Hermes

#❤️ = for Aphrodite

#⚡️ = for Zeus

#🦉 = for Athena

#🗡️ = for Ares

#🗝️ = for Hekate

#🔨 = for Hephaestus

#🍷🍇 = for Dionysus

#💀 = for Hades

#🍎 = for Persephone

#🌾 = for Demeter

#💤 for Hypnos

All the holiday tags will be self explanatory

For some reason I was contemplating the gender of Rocky from Project Hail Mary and I actually think that the Eridians probably don't have the social construct of gender

I imagine that would be because of one of three reasons

1. Eridians are too smart and efficient for that

2. Eridians reproduce asexually

3. Eridians reproduce sexually but in a way that isn't like how humans reproduce

This thought process lead me to the head cannon that Eridians reproduce like mushrooms, as in they have thousands of sexes with each one being compatible with every other sex but it's own.

Io Mercuralia!

May 15th, the Ides of May, is the date of Mercuralia, the Roman festival celebrating Mercury in his aspect as the god of merchants and trade. On Mercuralia merchants would annoint themselves with water from Mercury's sacred well near Porta Capena, an entrance gate of the city of Rome.

Hail the protector of commerce and trade! May Mercury bless us all with prosperity and comfort!

I think I'm bad at resting. I had set out to get some mental resting done today and relax but ended up playing Stardew Valley the whole day because sitting and doing nothing was too painful

How do I the resting good?

I just wish I had room for bigger altars

Brought to you by the same person who ordered the original 'congrats on the autism' cake (im marrying them, the biggest flex of my life), I now bring you the post-top surgery cake they ordered me

this is the official top surgery manifestation post. Like to charge, reblog to cast (or do neither and you will still get whichever gender affirming surgeries your heart desires, I am manifesting it for you free of charge 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵✨️)

[resonantkpendulum]

Things I'm exited to wear after top surgery

1. Tank tops

My summer fashion will finally unlock layering

2. Dress shirts

I love formal wear but it always makes my chest comically obvious imo

3. Sweater vests

Same reason as dress shirts

4. Nothing at all on my top half

No more wearing a swim shirt or having to suffer when it's hot out!!!!! Beach days will actually be fun for once. No more binders either!

What are you studying? How did you end up working at the archive?

Hi! :) So, I studied history and cultural anthropology for my undergrad and then continued with only history for my postgrad and I am now doing a PhD in history. Going to the archive is a normal part of a history PhD as the source material is collected there and often not available online (shout out to the Dutch because they have an amazing, free digital on demand service!). But I do not work at the archive in the sense of the archive being my employer. Tho, I do volunteer at our local museum's archive but that came to be because my partner is working there and connected me to the person responsible for the archive!

[resonantkpendulum]

Thank you so much for answering! I've been looking to change my major cause I was miserable with my first one and what posts of yours I've seen have given me an idea of what I actually want to do so I think I know what I'm switching to now

[lau-and-history]

I’m hoping to travel to Copenhagen sometime next year!! any recs? :)

Hi, I'm so sorry, I only just saw your ask! I hope the answer doesn't come too late.

I honestly don't know if I can recommend much, because I originally went there for work. And I didn't really leave the area I was staying in...I believe there might have been more to see of the City outside of that. But there were a lot of museums in the area, I personally went to the National Museum, the SMK, and Rosenborg Castle. First and last kinda for research reasons 😅 at the hostel I met someone who told me that Christiansborg Castle is more interesting than Rosenborg, which might be true from a tourists point of view.

Unfortunately can't do any recommendations for restaurants, because I really struggled to find vegan food within the vicinity of my hostel 🥲 but the pastry options were amazing in general, so I recommend to find a nice Café or Bakery and just indulge!
