The Tragedy of Dreaming

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” –Winston S. Churchill

Podfic of "Make a Secret" by Ravin

[Announcement]

Ravin reinterpreted the BruTim start of #TTT, "Make a Secret", as a podfic! If aural tones catch your fancy, please check it out.

[cannibalcaprine-deactivated2024]

masks and helmets that hides someone's face in such a way that they become the face themselves my beloved

these are all creatures to me

[ancient-debris]

Angel of War, angular and strange, gleaming silver and gold, Angel of Wonder, pure and one-eyed, looking to stars new and old, Angel of Harvest, simple and hidden, bring nature's sweetness to all, Angel of Health, mysterious and fine, beacon when life starts to fall, Angel of the Deep, crooked and cage-like, guide us across the sea, Angel of Solace, protect us from evil, lead us to where we are free.

[omnybus]

Was inspired by the previous post a while back, and had been working on this on and off for a long while.

I love all of these. The angel of the the deep's wings are canvas, held up by an anchor. The angel of war's wings are blades, and its shield is a coffin. The angel of solace is a mutant, its arms deforming into wings. Geiger counter in hand, it guides us through the danger only it knows. Was this angel once a man? Corrupted now beyond hope, he can at least save others from the same fate.

this shit is so incredibly cool that i cannot and refuse to attempt to properly articulate it

[just-french-me-up]

the urge to write is like a cat meowing for dear life for someone to open the goddamn door, who then shows utter disinterest in said open door

I lost a needle I liked in my pincushion so I decided to get a strong magnet and see if I could pull it back out.

I pulled out 68.

I very rarely sew.

This was my grandmother's pincushion. How many were hers?

[autisticnightfury]

Finding a 68 needles in a haystack pincushion

[naamahdarling]

Where you would expect to find needles!

AND YET.

(I jibbled out some more so we are at 71 and I can feel at least two more in there by sweeping the magnet across. Now hunting for my strongest one.)

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

tomato is perfec t size for put needle inside very soft and comfort needle

[featherwurm]

A friend suggested 'a mimic that eats needles' and I got the most vivid mental picture.

as a lawyer who’s been practicing for six years now I can say with certainty that this 100% applies to lawyers

This is acually somehow super motivating

[finnglas]

There’s an episode of Sesame Street (on Netflix! you can watch it easily!) where Elmo attends a toy-swap, where you offer up old toys you don’t play with anymore and receive someone else’s toys that are new to you. Cute!

But Elmo, after cheerfully surrendering his old toys, sees that the children who swapped toys with him are playing with his toys “wrong”! They’re imagining entirely different make believe scenarios! They’re pretending the football is a dinosaur egg instead of a rocket ship! Aaahhhhh!!!! And this is so distressing to poor Elmo that he does the unthinkable: He does swapsies-backsies and takes all his toys back!

This being Sesame Street, he learns that you can’t control how other people play pretend, but you can join in if you want to! And if you don’t want to, that’s ok, you can just play pretend your own way by yourself or with someone else who wants to play that way too. You can still be friends with people who play pretend differently than you (and aren’t being mean/harmful/etc, do not bad-faith-read this 🤨).

Anyway this is a post about fandom.

people who comment on fics just to say that they are re-reading and still cried/felt emotions/loved it are the greatest people on earth and should be given a thousand dollars. 

[petals42]

addition: people who comment on fics to say that they are not even in this fandom and didn’t know the characters at all but read it anyway and loved it are also the greatest people on earth and should also be given a thousand dollars.

Let’s make tea

Tea

Water

Sugar

Honey

Milk/Cream

Lavender

Edible Glitter

Voting ended onApr 27

Do it for him

[drax-the-vampire-king]

Its time

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

Yep

⅓ cup water

5 ⅓ teaspoon half and half

17.5 teaspoons of edible glitter

2 tablespoons plus 0.85 teaspoons of lavender syrup

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of honey

Only thing left to calculate is the tea itself

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

36 tea bags

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

Okay so in the end I was only able to steep 20 tea bags in intervals before I had to stop out of concern that I may stop getting water back

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

That being said I did lick the spoon clean that I used to mix it but I’m chalking it up to a brief tea induced moment of insanity since it is very bad tasting, I’m currently wondering if I can cook it into something so it doesn’t go to waste

[silverasks]

I would like to suggest trying to make bread with it

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

You win

It’s in the oven now, it blends in with the pan it’s in

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

It changed colors in the oven

Admittedly this tastes way better than it did on its own, it’ll probably be palatable with jelly or something

[drax-the-vampire-king]

The slice looks like a brownie

[mimosa-sexypeople-contests-2026]

It honestly looked creepily like mostly cooked ground beef in person when I first cut into it

[oleanderthoughts]

*asks tumblr to help make tea

*Tumblr makes bread instead

Sounds about right
