My partner rags on me frequently for mixing up actors who look vaguely similar. He thinks I should recognize them because fame. However, we were watching a scifi/fantasy show, and I blurted out the name of the actor as soon as she appeared on the screen, and he was shocked.

I have no idea who she is. How do you recognize her?

Well, honey, she’s a nerd actor, who plays in nerd shows. so.

I’m pleased to see you back here.

I also took a break from Tumblr for a while, and I followed you on Twitter, too, but I really enjoy the longer posts and more in depth interactions I get to see here on ol’ Tum.

Hey, good to see you again! I remember you from the old days, and you know what? Today—TODAY, this very moment!—is the first damn time I noticed that your user name is "ravioli" backwards. Isn't that a thing!

ObConlang, can you imagine creating a "for use" conlang, and having to come up with terms for all the pasta shapes? I guess you could borrow them in, but still...

That thing where a scene in a book is just too much, too much culmination at once, and without even thinking about it I leap to my feet and start pacing around to release some of my agitation before I run back to the book so I can find out what happens.

A lil doodle of Maia from The Goblin Emperor.

I don’t do a lot of fanart, but Maia has been quietly hanging out in my mind and he just casually crept out through the pen in my hand.

 Anyone else casually grab a pocket knife and a gold ring on your way out the door just in case you get lost in an alternate reality before you get back?

Got a post blowing up!

It’s had three likes and three re-blogs.

When you think about certain colors and color combinations do you ever just want to dive into them and soak them into your skin and swallow them in thirsty gulps even as they electrify your eyes and hair and blow back your cape and rattle your jewelry and bleed into all the papers and cloth you touch? Or maybe just try to paint with them about them?

Just a torture device for sale on discount.

I can only imagine wearing this thing to be 100 times worse than wearing a bra. 1000 times, maybe, because add *sweating for weight loss* into the mix.

Everything about this box is just a wild advertising choice. The picture is just amazing. I don’t mean good amazing. The text at the bottom makes me flinch from actual psychic pain. 

Exactly what kind of clothes would one wear over this thing? Would any kind of normal clothes hide this shapewear? Surely most people do not wish to advertise the fact that they are wearing shapewear while they are wearing it? Ruffles, I guess…

I hope it is at Ollie’s because the majority of people look at that box and see it for the shitshow it is and whatever place first tried to sell these could not move them.

I’m so upset that this box exists. That the product exists. That the photograph on it exists. That the text on it exists and means something that I recognize. That our culture shames people for their bodies so horribly that someone thought there would be a market for this piece of shit torture device.
