#home thoughts

[system-of-a-feather]

Honestly relevant to the previous shit post earlier today about hom(e)ophobia being the opposite of agoraphobia and it being "a thing we have" (joke) like...

We've been thinking about what makes a home for us what with the stage in healing and life we are in, and also our fiance is working through some trauma stuff and his panic disorder - before it started getting better - was getting concerning as it began to teeter briefly into borderline agoraphobia

And its really made us realize a thing. A lot of people see their home as The Place They Live, and so their home is a safe place, the default place they are when they don't have any explicit plans. It's a safe and predictable place to "idle" in

But I realize we have never.... really considered that a home could be seen as such. Yeah we've known that on like a definition and logical sense, but emotionally? A home - for us - has always been the place you return to after engaging in life. It's more of a lion's den or a crow's roost than it is a Place I Live

I don't Live at my Home. I Rest at my Home

And the idea of living at my home.... I don't really know if I think that is better or worse than what I do. I'm not too sure if I think it is good or not to "live" at home - not on an emotional or logical level. I'm really ambivalent about it.

I think the truth is that there is something to learn from both perspectives of what a "home" is (especially in relation to life) and being able to jump between the two is the ideal

But I dunno, its a new concept and thing I've been thinking about.

I'd love to hear any input anyone who has any additional thoughts or rambles on this concept might have cause its been a thing I've been pondering on and off with my parts for like... a couple weeks and I'd love to see some alternative perspectives and insights to the topic.

So.... *hands over mic to anyone that wants it*

I'm not the first to mention this, but one bit that I thought was really clever in Steven Universe is the ways in which the show subtly justifies the cartoonism of the principle cast always wearing the same outfit for ease-of-animation purposes. The gems are a gimme in that they're all hardlight-projections, and even before that's solidified as a plot point they're otherworldly and superheroic enough that you don't really think to question it. But Steven canonically just owns hundreds and hundreds of those star shirts, which are leftover merchandise from his father's fizzled-out career as a rock star. Into which you can read a whole bunch of other stuff if you really want to, right? And I do want to. It's reflective of Greg's misplaced optimism that he got hundreds of those made in the first place, and it's a benign but visible example of how Steven's life is shaped by the knock-on effects of decisions his parents made before he was even alive. He's got his mother's superpowers and he's wearing his father's shirts.

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

Lets create a house where yelling means we’re having fun. When you hear a door slam you know it was accidentally pulled with too much strength, not slammed out of anger. When there is silence, it is Contentment, not another passive aggressive fight. The dog is no longer barking to protect, he simply just wants the cats to play with him. Let’s create a safe, warm environment that makes you feel like you can breathe, not hold your breath. Let’s stomp on the eggshells we use to tip toe on. Together we will make this house into a home. And welcome all with open arms into this kind and loving space.

So many western liberals agree with 95% of Nazi ideology without realizing it, whilst having only a vague, idealistic notion of why Nazis were bad

imagine travelling for your job and coming home to simon (big and beautiful and mia-for-two-months simon) holding your cat up like one would carry a baby. they’re standing by the balcony door in your living room, watching the people who are walking by.

“uhm,” you begin, shocked and exhausted. “what…”

simon turns just enough to meet your eyes. “m’teaching sasha how to be observant. little girl didn’t even blink when i walked in.”

“you don’t have keys to my place.” you lick at your chapped lips. “you shouldn’t have keys to my place.”

“i know,” he grunts, adjusting his hold on her. sasha just plops her head on his chest again, her tail slowly swaying behind her and her big eyes slow blinking at you.

you give her your own slow blink and you wish you could pick her up from simon’s arms but—and here’s the issue—you still don’t understand why he is here. why is he back?

“did you break into my home?” you finally ask, quiet and anxious.

simon just sniffs, patting sasha’s rear, and looks away. sasha lets out a purr.

“simon—!?”
