#it's not rational but it is what it is

I'm going to vacuum my apartment, which means I'll be out for the next few days.

Keep me in your thoughts.

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

why are people so disturbingly okay with using the r slur. I thought we had outgrown this years ago.

we need to start making shen yuan weirder that man is NOT normal. too often his freak tendencies are overshadowed by luo binghe's well. everything. but shen yuan is arguably weirder than him for literally no reason whatsoever. i could study his brain in a lab for 30 years and still come no closer to understanding him.

i wrote an interactive poem for my girlfriend in 3 parts. she said you need to read it.

go here: take only the final quiz or take all 3. i don't mind. it's sad, though. this is a poem about choice. about fate and mental illness and how love fits inside of all of it. this is a poem about a long dark hallway. mostly this is a poem about mango sushi rolls.

good luck. i love you. despite it all, i'm hopeful.

The Front Man believes that Gi-hun is wrong in his way of thinking, but perhaps, he reflects on himself through Gi-hun. I felt that a small part of him, unknowingly, might be hoping for Gi-hun's thoughts to be right. And rooting for him in some way.

Part two of the reverse verse is here! The reverse boys meet the original boys. They're not really getting along as well as I had hoped...

Again, this was a commission for @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are and they asked for angst/funny vibes... I think it's mostly just angst though. Oh, well...

Part one

I think it's interesting that since early AGOT, we've been seeing how quickly Sansa actually clocks people for what they are and how she ignores that in favour of her future. When Sansa meets Barristan Selmy and Renly Baratheon in Sansa I, it's not them she fixated on; it's Ilyn Payne.

At first Sansa did not notice the third stranger. He did not kneel with the others. He stood to one side, beside their horses, a gaunt grim man who watched the proceedings in silence. His face was pockmarked and beardless, with deepset eyes and hollow cheeks. Though he was not an old man, only a few wisps of hair remained to him, sprouting above his ears, but those he had grown long as a woman's. His armor was iron-grey chainmail over layers of boiled leather, plain and unadorned, and it spoke of age and hard use. Above his right shoulder the stained leather hilt of the blade strapped to his back was visible; a two-handed greatsword, too long to be worn at his side.

[...] but Sansa could not take her eyes off the third man. He seemed to feel the weight of her gaze. Slowly he turned his head. Lady growled. A terror as overwhelming as anything Sansa Stark had ever felt filled her suddenly. She stepped backward and bumped into someone.

Throughout the entire chapter, Sansa is fawning over Joffrey, trying to please her betrothed and keep the fairytale like veneer over her story, and when Joffrey and Arya get into a fight, it all breaks apart. Joffrey snaps at Sansa, and for a brief moment, the illusion disappeared.

His eyes snapped open and looked at her, and there was nothing but loathing there, nothing but the vilest contempt. "Then go," he spit at her. "And don't touch me."

It's only when she wills herself to ignore that slight does her illusion of a gallant Joffrey come back into play. Even so, when we see Joffrey again in Sansa II, she's uncomfortable because she still remembers the incident at the Trident and Lady's following death. At first, she had, rightly, blamed Joffrey for it because she finally saw that romance tinted lens crack, but had to make a conscious decision to absolve him of the guilt from her mind because he was the crown prince, because he was the future king, because he was her future husband and to hate the man she, at that point, believed she'd have to spend the rest of her life with would be folly. And still, she's nervous around him.

When Prince Joffrey seated himself to her right, she felt her throat tighten. He had not spoken a word to her since the awful thing had happened, and she had not dared to speak to him. At first she thought she hated him for what they'd done to Lady, but after Sansa had wept her eyes dry, she told herself that it had not been Joffrey's doing, not truly. The queen had done it; she was the one to hate, her and Arya. Nothing bad would have happened except for Arya.

In Sansa II, she meets Petyr Baelish for the first time and immediately is uncomfortable, the unease cutting into the otherwise dreamy atmosphere of the Tourney, much like the murder of Jon Arryn's squire, from which she can't look away from.

When Sansa finally looked up, a man was standing over her, staring. He was short, with a pointed beard and a silver streak in his hair, almost as old as her father. "You must be one of her daughters," he said to her. He had grey-green eyes that did not smile when his mouth did. "You have the Tully look." "I'm Sansa Stark," she said, ill at ease.

Consistently, Sansa is a keen observer who does notice things and people others would overlook, but its her youth and desire to be good (a good girl, a good lady, a good hostage) that trips her judgement. Sansa longs for a fairytale like life, she wants a marriage like Ned's and Cat's, she wants to be a queen and a lady and wants perfection and stillness so bad that it makes her down right neurotic, and when she does notice things that don't fit the mold of her ideals (Ilyn Payne scaring her from the get go, Sansa first seeing Joffrey act cruel and reject her, Petyr Baelish making her uncomfortable) she rationalizes it by giving them roles in her mind (Ilyn Payne scares her therefor he must be a monster, Joffrey is her husband to be, but was cruel to her, her sister and a boy, so therefor this must not be his fault, he's just a misunderstood and troubled hero, Petyr Baelish is a lord and part of the small council therefor he Doesn't unnerve her, he's just being kind and friendly and she's being silly.) Sansa Stark is, at the end of the day, still a little girl being held hostage, but it is her keen eye and understandment of people that ultimately saves her and lets her live for as long as she has, even if at first it was hindered by her romanticized view of life.

Insane to me how Scott can make a minor mistake two years ago and people in MCYT can treat him like he’s the devil to this day (having his named banned, removing him from AU’s, blocking people who don’t hate him, ect) but Skizz can do something even worse and yet slightly related and everyone moves on like nothing happened.

Oh nooo, there’s bigots in MCC and Scott got a little snappy because he was being harassed already (and also he doesn’t control who’s in MCC)? He fucking apologized and also 100% had the right to be snappy, but let’s hate on him for forever woth the vitriol of a mob. But Skizz actively employs bigots and digs his heels in on an action that actually hurts queer people in his community? Nahhh it’s fine. You can dislike him but don’t stop watching his videos :(( He’s just a dad in a red state :(( Give him time :((

Look. I don’t think we should harass Skizz- I don’t think we should harass anyone. But if you jump so hard on slandering a gay man but then defend or ignore the worse yet somewhat similar wrongdoings of a cis man…you’re being hypocritical. Extremely hypocritical. Hell, that would still be true even if they were the same sexuality.

Scott and Noxcrew acknowledged it and got rid of those people, and MCC isn’t Scott’s event. Skizz is continuing the same way and it feels like people barely care anymore. C’mon.

anyone remember when a zionist on twitter recounted an incident that they claimed had happened on october 7th but turned out they were lying through their teeth, and even worse, the reported incident was actually from the sabra and shatila massacre? anyone keeping count of how many times zionist pigs rehash the vile, cruel things they've done to palestinians only substituting themselves in as the victims of the story? isn't it remarkable that any evidence of examples of the incomprehensible evil and violence that they swear by to justify everything they've done since october always turns out to be distinctly absent from reports of october 7th, and always present in reports of daily palestinian life for decades now?

The more I read WoT, the more ridiculous GRRM’s lil fanfic gets ashshajnsjdndbd. Rand is a mountain powerscaling wise, and old man really just said “mmnoo 😊 Kingslayer slams”. Him being Jaime Lannister’s greatest dickrider is quite literally the funniest thing about him actually

A what if on fire in the sky where Skyfire never met the autobots a second time so he doesn't know he has options and sticks with the Decepticons for a couple more days

“Starscream got you good today, Skyfire.”

Skyfire was silent, looking off into the dark abyss of the ocean.

“I need to leave. He’s going to kill me, Thundercracker.”

Thundercracker snapped his head up, optics widening. “What?!” Who just confesses to a high ranking faction elite that they want to leave?! And out in the open too?! Luckily no one was there to hear Skyfires sudden declaration of defection.

“Megatron won’t let that happen, he’s spent way too much resources bringing you back! And where would you go?” Thundercracker felt strange, isn’t this the argument that he had in his processor time and time again, now with another bot?

“Anywhere is better then here. What if Megatron finally gets overthrown by Starscream? When he’s gone, he won’t hesitate to kill you too.”

Thundercracker felt a chill go up his spine, as if the coldness of space went through him, before continuing to weld.

“Everything I do, he finds some sort of way to push me, and when I refuse, it’s never an option, he wants me to break.” Skyfire ranted with gritted teeth, “I refuse.” Skyfire paused, remembering something and turned his attention on Thundercracker.

“Thundercracker, please leave with me! We can do so much more, BE so much more!” He pleaded, the proposal has been on his mind for a while, but Thundercracker didn’t look up.

“Can you stop moving? I won’t stop you from leaving, I won’t even tell the others anything. But this… this is my purpose”

Thundercracker felt Skyfires stare on him, “I’ve only known you for 4 days, but even then, I feel you don’t belong here, what can the Decepticons give you for you to stay?”

“And you can give me something more?! I’ve spent more time fighting in this war than you have been active!”

“Yes! I know I can! Something more than hauling around energon cubes, more than living in this damp ship! There’s a whole world to explore! I may have nothing right now but I promise, I can help you find a better purpose!” Skyfires optics shined bright with determination. Something Thundercracker hasn’t seen since the first day he’s been revived. And something else that seemed so familiar to him…

Ah. The day Megatron convinced him to join the Decepticons. Why he joined, why he stayed, was it all for a promise?

… What a fool he is, throwing everything away again for the same old, sweet words. But now he’s older and stronger, with a fresh face who is neither Autobot or Decepticon.

“Fine. You’ll probably need me to actually survive out there anyways, I can’t just let you die by yourself.”
