And Neither Have I The Wings To Fly @tr4shpandaa - Tumblr Blog

I think I like cosmic horror because I have anxiety (GAD). Everything around me is falling apart because I feel like I'm not in control, and I feel like I should be. I must be in control of my life, that's what society has told me throughout my life.

But cosmic horror tells me that I am nothing in the grand scheme of the universe, that in essence I have no control over ANYTHING, and I'm not expected to be in control because at the end of it all we are a speck of dust floating in space at the mercy of the horrors. Which, surprisingly, is liberating.

It's like everything around me is falling apart, but it's not my fault. I'm not in control. There are bigger things in charge of these things.

So... yeah. It's horrible. The Horrors are The Horrors. And the vastness of space, the vastness of matter, the vastness of nothingness is terribly scary. But it doesn't give me anxiety. It scares me, but it's terribly liberating.

every single time i relisten to old gods of appalachia from the top i am just gobsmacked by the dearth of fanart and fanfiction made for this fascinating universe and its richly textured characters WHERE is the marcie walker/letitia owens fic set during pleasant evening's glory days WHERE are the headcanon ref sheets for marigold underwood and polly barrow and miss darla and j.t fields . are u kidding me

Did not have 'witch who made a deal with a being worse than the devil almost gets played by said being, and then proceeds to become so spitting fed up with its nonsense that she traps them in what amounts to a fucking magic boxing ring, proverbially hits the bell herself by calling the being a blue-backed little BITCH, to its face, and then PHYSICALLY THROWS DOWN WITH IT' on my bingo card for today. But I do appreciate it.

Woman of all fucking time, Daughter Dooley, you are.

Old Gods of Appalachia : women can do anything! Learn the deepest most terrible secrets of the Dark and stay in the light of the Green (good), open a brothel, have many kids, be asexual, become a lawyer, become a school mistress, learn the deepest most terrible secrets of the Dark and somehow stay in the Green (bad?), get drunk on irish coffee at 10am during a gossip session and miss a funeral at age 70, be a lesbian, bring down a river dam with your bare hands above a village of unionizing coal miners on Christmas night, eat your husband at your wedding ceremony (bad), scream on the top of your lungs and make it sound like the enraged bellow of a forgotten beast, be covered in blood from head to toe while butt naked, cut up your husband in twelve pieces and bury him under the smoke house (good), make sex jokes at 72 years of age and giggle about it, fall to the horrors but you tried oh how hard you tried, shoot a bitch, become a librarian, wear a bitching suit, be a blood crazed wolf mad on grief and pain, have a good time being a wolf playing music with your buddies, use your charms to get people to do what you want, have an army of cockroaches, start a cult, yell at ghosts who forgot their manners, beat up eldritch gods, beat up eldritch gods, beat up eldritch gods, eat people, eat people, eat people, eat people, eat people

The assholes openly admit it. The whole point of college is to enforce the hierarchy. When those who were supposed to be low on the hierarchy started going to college, the assholes get angry and want to make them suffer for challenging the hierarchy.

This is what's so fucked up about "nothing that requires the labor of others is a human right".

The labor is already being done under capitalism. The laborers are already being underpaid under capitalism.

When you propose removing the greedy profiteers and paying the workers a reasonable wage, people call that "slavery" while they have no problem with the current system.

They're not even trying to make sense.
