Transcending is constant, it’s not what it seems to be

It doesn’t soothe your soul, dimensions very scary

You don’t have a choice when the switch will flick flicker

Predetermined by destiny, that fucking bitch screw her

She sleeps in my stomach where she manifests her lair

She comes out at night and takes my body ensnared

She makes me think thoughts that’d make you sick to your stomach

She aches for the ache, for all that is fruitless

My abyss is bliss filled but only when I pop pills

always chill I stay still cause I don’t have the damn will to explain my life in a way that’s meaningful

cause I’m fucked up in the head

Astray they haven’t even led

Me to believe that my ego is dead

Break it down just to build it up again

Traveling selfward cannot project outwards

Collapsing inwards oblivious to our world

I can never rewire my self induced haywire

I hate myself with such a hellfire

torture myself till I force

myself to cry, I’ve never really felt alive

Moods swing me to and fro

can’t ever predict which directions they’ll go

seconds away from sinking under

Holding back the sobs of all my lost lovers

My life’s in the trash and my hearts in the gutter

“Have your own back” he said in a letter

It’s tearing up at my insides

When I sleep my lungs cease respiring

Living is meek and simply tiring;

Loathful,tyrannically manipulating my anxiety

I want to get up and out of here

Two more pills and I’ll be spiraling

Into the gates of inevitable ends

Then my soul will ask me “Are you gonna leave here?”

I’m leaning towards yes but my heart screams no

My body is between the doors of god and shadows

to everyone I sacrificed my well-being to appease to

was it worth it, in the end, for you?

I think the discussion that made time loops my brand was entirely confined to Twitter, so since this website has gone all in on time loops of late, here, have the story:

Several years ago, I suggested to my wife that we have an agreement that if either one of us ever came to the other and said that we were in a time loop, we just accept that it's real and get on with things, thereby eliminating the frustration of the looping partner having to convince the other one every day.

She REFUSED. Because "time loops aren't real."

Well, we had this debate on and off for several years, and finally, she got tired of me bringing it up and agreed. So now we have a deal: We'll believe each other, but if I ever do it as a joke, the deal's off.

It turns out that the reason that my wife has been refusing to make this agreement is less that time loops aren't real, and more that she's concerned I would come to her one day, claim to be in a time loop, and then the next day declare the time loop had finally broken. And since that is, of course, exactly what it would look like to her if I really was in a time loop, she'd have no way of proving it.

I explained to her that she's completely right, that would be incredibly funny, but I'd never do it because there's a part of me that is legitimately nervous that I will actually end up in a time loop one day, and I need her to believe me.

Adhd really is like... bedroom is slightly messy it would be nice to tidy it some

bedroom is very messy I really should tidy up

bedroom is chaotic I NEED to tidy but my brain says no. Why. Whyyy.

I guess I’ll just have to watch where I step in here for the rest of my life. The mess is everywhere. I’m one with the mess.

A sudden Need to Clean™ makes you get the room looking like some fancy homes magazine cover, and you think “I’ll never ever let it get that bad again, and then...

bedroom is slightly messy (uh oh)

ADHD organization tips: 

-out of sight = out of mind, as in, if you can’t see it, you will forget it exists. Set up your space such that, when everything is put away, you can still see it all (remove closet doors, shallow shelves so nothing is behind anything else, etc.)

-one-step access. None of this “to get to this thing, I have to get a stool, remove the box in front of it, grab the thing i want, put the box back, put the stool back-” nah. One step access. Not even “this thing belongs behind this thing”. Open drawer. Is thing right there? good. Have to move other thing to get to it? bad. Multi-steps means you’ll rarely use it, and when you do, it will NEVER GET PUT AWAY AGAIN. Multi-step access is for deep storage and the items that get the least frequent use.

-an item’s home is within arm’s reach of where you are most likely to use it/want to put it down.

-items can have multiple homes and that’s ok. I have three pencil/pen cans around my room, and like two or three places where I’m “allowed” to place things like my wallet and keys (and I am NOT allowed to place them anywhere else, because then I’ll lose them forever).

-examine the mess on your floor and determine the categories, then ask why those things are on the floor. 

---Why pile of clean clothes? because I didn’t want to fold them up. Solution: fuck folding clothes, clothes only get sorted into categories and then dumped into drawers or crates. That’s fine and ok. 

---Why pile of kinda-dirty-but-can-still-wear clothes? because I don’t want to put them away (i wore them once) but i don’t want to put them in the laundry basket (they’re not really dirty yet). Solution: have a home for “kinda dirty” clothes. I drape mine over the edge of my hamper. 

---- a bunch of trash on your floor? Because the trash can is all the way over there. Solution: put a bunch of trash cans all around your room.

---- pile of papers on desk? because i need to put them in my files where they’ll eventually go. Solution: one of those cute magazine boxes on desk, specifically for “to file” papers. 

-permanent piles on surfaces go in cute little boxes exactly where they already were. e.g. pile on nightstand consisting of wallet, keys, meds, phone, etc??? cute little box right on the nightstand for all that stuff you’ll grab every day. Pile on desk of shit that you need to take back out to the kitchen but haven’t yet? grab a little tray specifically to accumulate things you’ll take back out to the kitchen at some point. box on nightstand for “stuff that could/usually does go in purse, but isn’t there today for whatever reason”. Lil box for “random tiny shit that I should put away at some point” like hair ties, safety pins, push pins, etc.

-it’s ok for things to “live” in the place where you’ll need them next, even if it’s not “away”, so long as those things aren’t in your way. My pjs live on my bed, because I’m going to wear them again tonight. If I’m feeling fancy I’ll fold them and put them at the foot of the bed. Most days I’ll just yeet them on there and that’s where they Belong. My meds belong in a lil box on my nightstand, because that’s where I’ll set out my pills for the next day.

- “dump station” = right inside the door, where you’ll divest yourself of everything automatically anyways. Hook for your purse, hook for workbag, a few hooks for coats etc (even though coats “live” in the closet, it’s ok for them to live here too), box/tray for wallet etc, place for shoes. Because I’m gonna dump them the moment I walk in the door anyway, and if their “place” isn’t right there, they’re just gonna end up part of the mess

-beware the corner piles. Observe them, question them, solve them. Shit accumulates in “dead spots” on the floor where you don’t walk often. Watch those piles. What are those piles? Where are their homes? And why aren’t they there? Are their homes too inaccessible? Did I accidentally start a new hobby and none of the supplies for that have a home yet? Is it something “in progress” that I still intend to work on/do something with? 

you’ll still go through the cycles of accumulating mess and destroying it all in one go, but the mess accumulated will be so much less and so much easier to deal with.

[ms-demeanor]

Hey if you are a nightstand pile person I strongly recommend getting one of these:

You can search "remote control organizer" and something should pop up.

Mine sits on my nightstand and holds:

My weekly am/pm pill sorter

At night it holds my glasses

It keeps my phone in place while it's charging at night

A packet of tissues

Nail clippers and a file

Earplugs and an eye mask in case of migraine

Emergency inhaler

Hand sanitizer

Small sketchbook and a couple pencils

Small notebook for making lists

The two sides that are closest to me are the most consistent, and are basically "daily meds, glasses, phone, nail file" and the back half of it accumulates weird stuff that doesn't have a permanent home but also holds less-used but still important to keep close stuff (inhaler, earplugs, etc.)

It's extremely handy because having it *right there* and having the slots for stuff be very easy to use means that my important stuff never gets buried in a pile but I still have table surface space for stuff like headphones and dog treats and quilting supplies that get set there randomly when I put them down to go to sleep.

[kyraneko]

I put my wallet and car keys and so forth in a hat.

It's a cheap, shitty, half-a-step-up-from-cardboard one that I bought at a knockoff Spirit Halloween type store and it doesn't fit on my head without leaving a mark. I turned it upside down on my computer table and in it goes all my pocket stuff, work ID, spare change, and anything small and important.

Said stuff is where I can find it, and I have a use for the hat, which I don't want to get rid of because I haven't justified replacing it with a real one, because they're expensive, and I don't wanna NOT have a top hat, even if wearing it is a literal pain. Everybody's happy.

If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.

The sword clearly cuts his wrist and waist. I mean he took the guys sword away, sure, but also fucked up his own ability to fight at the same time. It’d be one thing if he was wearing armor, but this is like a dueling thing.

[armthearmour]

I think you give too much credence to a Sword’s ability to cut. This is from the manual I practice, “Il Fior di Battaglia,” “The Flower of Battle,” by Fiore dei Liberi. I have performed this maneuver, and I’ve gotta say, when done right, it feels good.

Point being, if you do it right, when you pivot around your guard and bring the pommel around the blade, your wrist does come into contact with the edge, but there is no sliding motion, and it’s that sliding motion that causes a blade to slice. You pivot, pull against the blade, and it goes flying as your wrist pulls away from the edge.

I’ve never made a blade go flying so far as the guys in this video, but even if I did, the blade doesn’t have the right kind of leverage and power behind it to cut into his waist there. It would strike him, and he might feel it, but I doubt it would even scratch his clothes.

I wrote one of my characters doing a similar move to disarm someone in a couple seconds, now I finally have a concrete picture of exactly how

Writing about a child rapist did not make Vladimir Nabokov a child rapist.

Writing about an authoritarian theocracy did not make Margaret Atwood an authoritarian theocrat.

Writing about adultery did not make Leo Tolstoy an adulterer.

Writing about a ghost did not make Toni Morrison a ghost.

Writing about a murderer did not make Fyodor Dostoevsky a murderer.

Writing about a teenage addict did not make Isabel Allende a teenage addict.

Writing about dragons and ice zombies did not make George R.R. Martin either of those things.

Writing about rich heiresses, socially awkward bachelors, and cougar widows did not make Jane Austen any of those things.

Writing about people who can control earthquakes did not make N.K. Jemisin able to control earthquakes.

Writing about your favorite characters and/or ships in situations that you choose does not make you a bad person.

It’s a shame that in this day and age these things need to be said.

[nyarnamaitar]

Or, in short: the narrator =/ the author.

[oblakom-deactivated20200302]

You know what else is a shame? This nowadays tendency of putting on the author the responsibility of teaching their readers morality.

Authors are allowed to write morally ambiguous characters.

Authors are allowed to write downright despicable characters - and guess what they are even allowed to make despicable characters charismatic and likeble and the protagonists of their stories if they wish - because absolute monsters exist only under the bed.

It is not up to the author to spoonfeed the readers about morality and Yes I know this character did a bad thing and I am going going to show it in the story and make other characters call them out of it and– Bullshit.

The authors should be able to write what they want without having thousands of people jumping and their throats claiming to know them, their ideas and their morality based on what they write.

It’s not up to the author to teach you about what is right and what is wrong.

[cheshireinthemiddle]

They already hated men. It just bleeds off to affect other groups. They were already calling men disgusting and hating them before they ever knew you were bisexual.
