The bloodymary tag going from homestuck to crossover ship art of the one-way-trip space saviors? Hail Mary’s Ryland Grace and Fix-it-fic-style survivor Simon?

Not something I expected my brain to be processing. But very funny to me now that I’m thinking of “oh the troll fanart might have to be tagged ‘bloodmary homestuck’ and space boys would be ‘bloodymary space gays’ or something” to differentiate in the future.

Sent me reeling for a lil bit cuz like- homestuck was the only context for that ship name in my brain forever, but it also didn’t immediately click the “wait a minute” button when I started seeing cool crossover ship art for Simon and Grace (and Rocky and Adrian a lot too- cute quad). It clicked before I started writing this messy ramble as a “There was something else here.” And I’m not complaining- to be clear- I just think it’s neat with the name overlap and my brain taking a hot minute to catch up with that. Both ships are fun :D

🌸PINK DOESN'T EXIST🌺

If you look at the visible light spectrum ( the colors range from red to violet. Between red and violet, however, there is no pink🩷

When our eyes receive red (long wavelength) and blue/violet (short wavelength) light waves at the same time, our brain gets tangled. It cannot average and show us green (which is in the middle), because the green receptors are not stimulated

To make sense of this mix, the brain creates a color that fills the gap between the two ends of the spectrum: pink/magenta🌺🌸🌺🌸

if the version of geralt of rivia theyre putting in fortnite looks anything like henry cavill, netflix is officially not allowed to replace him unless it is written into the show that henry cavill's witcher has canonically been transported to the fortnite space island

I should start soliciting schools as a DARE speaker. Scare tactics are out, “I got high regularly as part of a medical treatment and it’s not fun” is in. Why do people do this recreationally.

Socially awkward extroverts exist

I was thinking earlier about why a lot of people don’t initially interpret JJ Leroy as socially awkward, but immediately interpret Yuuri Katsuki and Otabek Altin as socially awkward. (Shush I’m ultra back on my JJ bullshit today)

And I think it’s because he’s extroverted.

I started thinking about the extroverted characters I relate to a lot and what kind of extroverted characters I relate to versus what kind of introverted characters I relate to.

The introverted characters I tend to relate to aren’t awkward because of their introversion but most of the extroverted characters I relate to are awkward because of their extroversion

I’m a true ambivert: on personality tests like Myers Briggs and others that supposedly measure introversion versus extroversion to some degree I score REALLLY close to 50/50 (60/40 in favor of introverted last time I took the MB test, but exactly 50/50 on a “personality DNA test”) and social isolation has really highlighted how much I depend on both social interaction and alone time to have energy.

But it’s not my introverted side that makes me socially awkward. I don’t shut down around other people, or try to get out of social situations because I don’t want to be around people for long. I don’t end up in stilted conversations that feel awkward because I’m just sitting there going “hmmm”

I babble. I blurt shit out without thinking. I tell grocery store cashiers my fucking life story and do this awkward laugh thing that drives my VERY introverted sibling absolutely batshit. I accidentally get myself trapped in convos about things I like a lot bc I like talking about them. I jump to conclusions

My extroverted side is SUPER socially awkward.

And I think it’s important to highlight that extroverted people CAN be awkward. People who are extroverted can talk too much in social situations. I have also ADHD so I’m also impulsive and have little filter but neurological disorders and mental illnesses can and lend themselves to social awkwardness, because what society views as “awkward” is based on what society views as “normal” or typical.

But anyway...
