Understand that there is a beast within you that can drink till it is sick, but cannot drink till it is satisfied. Understand that it will use the conventions of the visible world to turn your tongue to stone. It alone knows you. It does not wish you well.

full of regret and shame for Being 23 and going through it

[blankspace17]

The reoccurring theme of being unwanted in your childhood and seeing yourself as some kind of monster and how you feel like you have to move mountains to get people to like you

like a moth to a flame i can’t help what i desire etc etc

when you become so scared of slipping back into bad patterns, you slip back into bad patterns<<<<<

[violentdevotion]

all of my self development is in the pursuit to feel less lonely

[dog-teeth]

something to recognize that choosing recovery again and again is difficult work, and you are not weak for faltering

we’ve gone from the yee haw agenda to the ye olde thot programme

[lloerwyn-deactivated20201104]

Ah yes, those slutty slutty Landsknecht shorts:

[petermorwood]

The bare-legged / hot-pants look was fairly common, since the whole point about being a Landsknecht (or Reislaufer, their Swiss equivalent) was to look outrageous.

Most period illustrations of Landsknechts are black-and-white woodcuts…

…though in 1905 a book called „Geschichte des Kostüms“ - History of Costume - assembled a bunch of black-and-whites and added colour.

If they look excessively gaudy, they’re not, because these next prints were coloured in-period by an artist called Erhard Schön, and it’s fair to assume he was representing what he saw.

In short - or in shorts - those reenactor costumes are spot on. :->

Something mentioned nowhere in this post that I have just learned from googling: these guys were not Ye Olde Medieval Dandies. They were 15th-16th century mercenaries. Pretty hardcore, too. They were exempt from sumptuary laws (ie the rules that said you couldn’t wear certain colours or cloth or styles) and apparently their response to that was technicolour thotpants.

I was complaining earlier about costuming in both “historical” settings and in fantasy/scifi. This is exactly what I mean when I say a knowledge of actual history would enrich the conceptual creative palette for things like “hardcore mercenary outfits.”

2023:

TIME IS NOT SLIPPING THROUGH YOUR FINGERS LIKE DESERT SAND

THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD IN JUST KNOWING THE SUN IS THERE

THE WOUND IS NOT THE SIZE OF YOUR LIFE

AN EXCESS OF PASSION IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR PRESENCE

YOU ARE NOT AN INDIVIDUAL

TIME TO FIND A NEW CREATURE TO BE

OPEN UP

THIS IS NOT YOUR GRAVE

GET UP COWARD

[train-bench-footrest]

[androidboy]

tboys will be forced to get out of bed for work instead of sleep in and jerk off for 5 hrs

i…………………..cannot handle tik tok

[prof-grace-aspen]

Yeah there's a really wild contingent of people on TikTok desperately trying to convince people that "T" stands for meth and that "everyone knows it" and "it's the most common use of the abbreviation" and therefore "no one should say T in place of testosterone".

[spacelazarwolf]

i can’t. i can’t. i cannot do this. i! cannot! do! this! besties!!!!!

[spacelazarwolf]

i am losing it

[daggers-drawn-returns]

As someone who briefly got caught up in tweaker circles doing a lot and a lot of speed... I never once heard it called "T". I assume they mean like as short for "Tina" which is also outdated slang.

Everyone called it "white", "clear", "speed", or sometimes "crystal". Never once "T".

do you ever sit with a group of people and not say anything for  the entire time so theres no reason for you to be there youre just awkwardly listening to people converse while doing your own thing and wondering how its so easy for them to just talk or why its so hard for you to say anything

[train-bench-footrest]
