The Forward March

Time marches on, and This Too Shall Pass. Who even knows what this blog is anymore. Interests and therefore posts include: Books, Steampunk, Homestuck, Aesthetics, Architecture and a few scattered fandoms. This blog is infrequently NSFW, and sometimes just plain infrequent. My pronouns are typically He/Him as typically I present as male, but I'm kinda gender fluid, so whatever's cool.

the one problem i have with people my age and younger is that a lot of us do not have hands on hobbies. like i have spoken to so many people my age who go to work, go to school and then fuck around on their phone/computer for hours and then ???????? like no wonder ur depressed and have low confidence in urself. u need to get ur hands on something, feed those dopamine receptors! learn how to play guitar, garden, scrapbook, fucking make model trains. i don’t give a shit, MAKE SOMETHING!!

it feels better than drugs when i finish making a thing—and then show it off or gift it.

and then so people my age say to me ‘well—i can’t draw/paint/knit/etc. like you can. my stuff would be terrible.’ yeah, well duh—a part of developing skill is sucking at something and then practicing it over and over and over again until you suck less. u’ll have a hard time feeling lonely or bored when you can’t stop thinking abt a technique you want to try or something you want to make for someone else. making things has SAVED MY LIFE. it gave me a reason to keep living day after day when i wanted to die.

making things have improved my generational relationships (when i worked for the newspaper i would talk to customers abt jamming recipes or cross-stitch, one of my grandmas always gives me pattern books and tell me abt when she knitted things for mom, my other grandma is giving me a wedding quilt that HER grandma gave her 50 years ago because she knows i will appreciate it). it also got me likeminded friends who also make things.

take a ceramics class! pick up water colors, bake cakes! learn to work on cars! make soap. DO SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE STARING AT A SCREEN.

A concept with @inkwillstain about how The Void is a cat that eats people’s worries and poops them out into stars.

[jane-ray]

This makes me so happy. I like screaming into the void. I also like the idea that “The Void” is actually a cat.

[wishem]

The original idea was that The Void is made up of a bunch of black cats.

[kazoracht]

Can I pet the void?

[wishem]

Absolutely.

PSA, the Archaeologistproblems blog is in favour of repatriation of a hell of a lot of indigenous materials, particularly those held in foreign museums.

Duo from Duolingo is an owl that teaches languages and encourages his students to study with increasingly ominous messages. There is little information given on where Duo has come from, but his demonic and threatening nature ties him to another teacher owl, Stolas. Stolas is a Great Prince of Hell, commands 26 demon legions, and teaches astronomy. Should Duo be a descendent of Stolas, he would be royalty in hell and likely holds immense power.
