hi?

hello! I'm zahli, welcome to my cave. currently on the walls is: uh. too much hockey boys (heated rivalry), some wolves (green creek), excited vibrations about the whole Trailhead series by @landrybrennan (go read Margins! and then take a deep breath ready for TIO), but you'll find other nonsense too. i will not apologise for occasional Destiel posting.

currently: #in my knitting era here's some stuff i've #finished!

This is a real picture taken by photographer Keinichi Ohno. It's a single photo of a bird standing at the edge of some water with a wall and its reflection creating a fascinating optical illusion.

There are so many books in so many categories. Both Second Nature and Nothing to Know are there, but I've also separately dropped the price of Take It Outside for anyone just starting the Trailhead series!

Happy (QUEER) reading, everyone!!

I think the "pre" and "post" parts in "preposterous" should cancel each other out but everyone else seems to find my idea completely erous

As someone who collects a LOT of physical media but doesn’t make a lot of money, I want to share the rule that keeps my wallet from crying out in despair every time I enter a store. I don’t remember who I got this from, but thank you whoever you are because it has been a game-changer when it comes to building a large collection without breaking the bank.

The $1 per hour rule. It’s exactly what it says on the tin. If I’m purchasing physical media, I consider it good value if I can expect to get at least one hour of enjoyment for every dollar I spend on it.

I don’t remember what I spent on BG3, but I know it was a good deal because I’ve logged 600 hours in it. Hades II costs $30, and I was more than happy to pay that because I know I’ll play it for at least 30 hours. When I add books to my library, I almost exclusively buy used books that cost under $5 because 5 hours is a good average estimate for how long it takes me to finish a novel.

Will there be a treat you splurge on every now and then? Of course, but $1 per hour is a good standard to stick to if you want to responsibly build a dragon's hoard of physical media.

This is a way better way of expressing it than I've seen before. It's mathy, it's clear, it's easy to remember.

Anyway we took way longer to say something similar in this one: Ask the Bitches: How Can I Absolve Myself of Financial Guilt Over My Pricey PS4?

Going to the library tomorrow to find out if I'm allowed to print hypothetical boobs for the GG copybook I wanna do

In Copenhagen you can visit The Round Tower. It used to be an astronomical observatory until light pollution and the vibrations from increased traffic in the streets made it useless for its original purpose.

Today it’s mostly famous for what it looks like on the inside.

It has an equestrian staircase though it’s so smooth it’s really just a gentle slope more than a staircase. It was build like that so our lazy bum king could ride his horse all the way to the top (king not in photo)

And naturally people have also driven cars up the tower

And held a bike race

For a while it was just sort of abandoned by the authorities and became a sloping marketplace

But today it has been restored and become a tourist spot as well as a popular destination for school trips. And yes, you can still watch the cosmos at the top.

this may be for an audience of two (me and lo @st-rozanov) but in my belief that leverage can be mashed up with everything, I’ve started thinking about leverage/green creek.

Eliot is a born werewolf—you don’t survive unscathed the way he does without something supernatural going on

Hardison is a witch—specifically a technomage

Parker is human for now. She’s planning to take the bite but not yet

Eliot like Robbie never had a permanent pack or alpha but had enough to not become an omega

until Nate who was an alpha and once the leverage team solidified worked on a pack structure

Sophie was Nate’s mate and somewhere before they retired she took the bite

when Nate dies, Sophie becomes the alpha and as much as she fought it, needed to be with her pack during that transition time

for the new redemption characters Harry is a human who doesn’t know anything about the supernatural. He is exactly as he is in the show a reformed sleaze ball. So there’s an added layer of shenanigans to not expose their secrets

Breanna is a werewolf. Nana was an alpha whose pack was supernatural orphans so witch Hardison, werewolf Bre, etc.

#hello friends it is too early in the morning to be coherent about this but you are incredibly correct #in my leverage era #in my green creek era
