I love the idea of elvish smiths' reputations for doing fine metalwork and flowy, graceful designs being a bunk stereotype.

Like, you set out to get some beautiful swooping mithril armor, and just as you get there it's fuckin'. BAM. A breastplate like you've never seen that weighs at least 50 lbs on its own, covered in half-inch-thick plates and spikes and shit, to the point that they replaced the normal little leather strips on it with iron chains because they just pop under the strain, and stretched over that is a tattered crop top made out of a scorched and bloodied battle standard that's been painted with the image of a brutal warrior bare-handedly ripping the tongue out of the open mouth of a monster.

And you ask the elf that's made it why it looks like that and not all pretty, so he tells you that there was a master elvish smith like two hundred years ago that got absolutely teeth-grindingly fed up with having to make the same fucking armor every godsdamned day, who decided that he'd ditch the norm and make something for himself for a change, before fucking off for like eight goblin lifespans and when he came back, he shocked everybody by presenting armor that looked like someone covered a siege weapon in tar and rolled it off a hill covered in spear heads, but it was new and exciting and the look caught on so now all the elves are making crazy chunky armor and wearing tattered clothes and making an art out of breaking things, and before you know it, you're the third human to discover the elves' thriving punk/grunge scene.

weird. turns out making yourself so need–less and so quiet and so small and so agreeable that you take up no space at all doesn’t get you closer to life in any way at all :(

#am sosososososo tired of being me :(#and there are so many parts that just are never going to change #real good at just Not Acknowledging things for major stretches and then it becomes regular and liveable and you don’t question it #then it’ll spring up for no good reason and it’s just #deeply crushing realisations of varying degrees #currently lamenting the way i cannot leave the house with my arms or legs uncovered #like would LOVE to feel able to wear a tee or god forbid a singlet #but. it’s not a thing i can do #and it’s a little bit horrifying to think about having spent probably twenty years this way #and spending the next however long my life drags on for #the same way #and it feels super dumb because it’s such a minor insignificant problem in the grand scheme #but it feels huge for me #and it feels insurmountable #and it feeds into larger anxieties #like thinking about interpersonal relationships and how they could ever be if i can’t even be alone in my room with my arms out y’know?#i feel like wearing a big sign that just says ‘sorry’#for me so everyone knows i’m aware that i’m gross and bad and i’m sorry anyone has to experience me #woof that sounds. dramatic #anywayssssssssssssssssssssss #personal

Visiting my besties means access to a television, which means enduring mainstream media coverage of the presidential campaign, which means witnessing how completely gop originating propaganda has infused news pundits, and the effects of simple repetition and selective omissions has on lifelong liberal Democrats. Absolutely stunned at all the moronic suggestions about how he should just step down and let harris take over from ostensibly informed allegedly liberal pundits. She has no funding, biden's can't be transferred to her, no media presence and it would make the party as a whole look incompetent and unreliable regardless of her qualifications.
