#that physically hurt to type

"Geology is 90% vocabulary" feels like such a poor description of such a large, important topic, but it feels like it would solve so much if people just... had the words to describe the world.
It's so unfair to everyone that the majority of the population's understanding of the world stops at "tectonic plates", "ring of fire", and "rock cycle". It's so unfair.
Everyone deserves to go on a hike, and when the rock changes colors, wonder "what is that?" and be able to answer the question themselves. Everyone deserves to be able to fulfill their curiosity and it is such a disservice that they cannot.
#I saw a reddit post of someone asking why the rock was flaking that way and it /hurt/ that they had to go to reddit to learn the word shale.#And that there are maps that will tell them the rock type wherever they go! It's such a joy they know now! And they were so happy when ppl#told them! But so sad they didn't know.#geology#This is also the struggle talking to non-geologists because they ask something like 'why is the hill shaped like that?' and you can't say#'graben'. You have to translate the lingo into the rock's previous physical movement - but in words.

Feeling slightly deranged over Sonic but unable to articulate why
#knox rambles#is it the fact that he’s silly goofy guy who’s scarily compentant at the drop of a hat?#is it that he’s selfish enough to dislike but selfless enough that you can’t hate him?#is it the fact that movie sonic has such a tragic backstory that it makes him the perfect person to understand everyone else and their hurt?#is it the fact that to my knowledge OG sonic doesn’t really have a family or backstory he could just be anything anyone and never tells#anyone anything about himself before he was with his friends?#is it the fact that everyone assumes Shadow is the edgy one but i think sonic is secretly the edgiest out of the two of them?#is it the fact that he seems to be a vessel for any type of power and his physical form will morph and change to be a better suited vessel#to carry that power???#WHO KNOWS I’VE GOT A LOT OF CHAOTIC THOUGHTS AND I’M FEELING DERANGED IN NO PARTICULAR DRIECTION ALL AT ONCE

"SAY NO MORE SIR!"
*grabs my leather bag and pulls out a comically long chain of handkerchiefs tied together and a lamp*
"erm one sec it's here somewhere....."
*my hand inside the bag starts glowing and a kitty of light with the gigachad face is in my arms in the simba™ pose*
"alas. Sonic you must bow before the ultimate kitty because you arent ultimate sry chat..😿😞"
"AHA NOW KITH!"
(YAYAYYAAYYAYAYAYYAYAYAYYSAYATAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAAYATATATTAATATATTTATATTATATAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYY)
[shadow's inner monologue at that moment went something like this:
Ugh... the... kitty- NO, MUST RESIST- but... the kitty...- NO, SHADOW. IT'S NOT WORTH IT, YOU'LL DO SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET WHEN YOU'RE OLDER. PEOPLE WILL COME UP TO YOU IN THE FUTURE, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL THEM THAT YOU AND SONIC AREN'T IN A RELATIONSHIP, AND THEY WON'T STOP BOTHERING YOU. IT'S NOT WORTH IT- but the kitty... it's... all of it... the ultimate kitty.... -that does sound pretty cool but you CAN'T SHADOW. REPULSED, REMEMBER? YOU'LL DO IT AND THEN YOU'LL FEEL THAT ANXIOUS FEELING IN YOUR STOMACH THAT GROWS AND GROWS AND YOU JUST FEEL SO OVERWHELMED AND UNCOMFORTABLE AND OH GOD-]
I... I- I- I-
[Sonic gets up from where he's been bowing, expression morphing from a playful flirt to a worried, faltering grin. His eyes train, briefly, on Shadow's chest; it's started to rise and fall at a quicker pace, faster than he's ever seen it- even during all of their races and petty fights.]
Hey, are- are you feeling alright?
[He steps closer to Shadow, but Shadow's expression only morphs further into something closely resembling horror before masking itself quickly with anger.]
GET AWAY FROM ME. I JUST- I just want- ARGH!
[He backs into a 'corner' of the space, curling into a ball.]
You're all the same. You'll force me to do such a thing... when I...
... I think maybe that was a boundary we shouldn't have crossed. Sorry guys, no kisses for Shadow in the near future. Or, uh, judging by that reaction, probably ever. Sooooooo if you don't mind, I'll justttttttt... yep that cat's ours now OK BYE
[EXPLANATION IN THE TAGS -💀]
#ask#sth#sonic fandom#sonic the hedgehog#sonic#ask blog#send asks#shadow the hedgehog#anon ask#sorry anon I just really need to get something across here#trying to get some more representation into the blog.#As much as i love mary poppins (LOVE HER MOVIES);#we gotta talk about a thing.#what I've done here (this is a mod edgy💀 thing by the way; maybe not all mods will enforce this) is introduce romance repulsed shadow.#when you're romance REPULSED- it's really hard to do things like kiss without getting that feeling in your stomach that you're lying-#to yourself. it's that anxious feeling when you're overstimulated and there's that pain in your stomach and you wanna cry bc you feel like-#you're pressuring yourself into doing a thing that you don't want#and that's romantic repulsion- at least to me.#it's just that i've noticed recently that a LOT of people have been sending in super cheesy romance-related asks and maybe some people here#aren't very comfortable with that. so I've decIded to add maybe a bit of a new dynamic here just so that people can understand how-#different types of aromantic or asexual people work. sonic for example- or at least as far as I can tell within the continuity of this blog#is relatively ok with romantic gestures; he just doesn't actually feel anything since he's aroace. as far as i can describe it's like that-#'meh' feeling that you get when you're- say- eating something that you don't really hate but you also don't really love. y'know?#so he's ok with doing stuff 'for the bit'.#shadow on the other hand is handled a bit differently. because he's repulsed- when you give him that sort of 'pressure' or 'suggestion' to-#do something romantic or sexual- he HATES the idea of that. It's against all of his principles and values. It HURTS- mentally; emotionally;#somewhat physically depending on how anxious you get; to go against that principle. In his mind it's like he's not being truthful-#to himself and it's so painful.#so. yeah.#aroace

remembering the time I asked my ex to please make some distance between himself & my bestie because of remarks he'd made to me about her body and his response was to get home, sit on the sofa and fold his hands, and look at me and say "since you're thinking I'm cheating on you, I can only assume this means you're projecting your own guilt onto me and you're the one cheating. I'd like to look through your phone now."
and guess who ended up being the one cheating 🥲
#he has Problems™️ with me labeling him as a cheater with my friends and family which. uhhhh. yes im aware that was an attempt to isolate me#and control the narrative so no one views him as a scumbag. but like. maybe dont do scumbag shit??#and in addition he says 'were we together when i developed feelings for her?' and forced me to say either Yes or No when. um!#its not a Yes/No type of question. we were working under the goal of making our relationship work. it's a nuanced situation where i did feel#emotionally stepped out on. and in any case he breaks up with me and immediately begins staying the night at her apt so literally what even#is the difference at that point?#we had a Grown Person relationship we have a mortgage we own our cars i supported him through hardships and we were planning on marriage#and its like. for him to have been in the headspace at ALL to develop feelings for another person is so hurtful. i can understand physical#i wouldn't excuse it but i can understand it. but falling in love? when i was a damned good partner to you?#sorry y'all i just. ummm. feel so trapped and afraid. i cannot believe the level of trauma his lack of empathy/compassion in the breakup has#put within me. it feels like no matter how much effort i put into trying to heal....nothing in my heart budges. the damage to my self esteem#is so profound that i honestly cant even picture the scope of it.#all the steps i took in therapy and things i did to lower my stress last year feel so useless against the fact that the man i thought id be#with for the rest of my life chose someone else over sticking it out with me. he chose the easier option. and i cannot fucking move on#anyway sorry for tag rambling i literally. feel so much guilt around venting to friends because of how he reacts to it#and because he snooped through my phone POST BREAKUP and i never know when he'll do it again#this is hell. how can this be the same man who said he wants to be friends with me?#personal

Sorting a pound of beads is keeping me sane from Beneath Dark Wings
Beneath Dark Wings is also keeping me sane while sorting a pound of letter beads
Why the fuck do we own a pound of letter beads? And why is 'A', the second most used vowel, the lowest amount we have?
#i know why we own a pound of letter beads.#if you see bracelets pop up: you know why.#~cappriccio~#(i also find this a very important fact to mention: caprice only types with one hand?? on a physically keyboard??) ~iris#(you could move the beads?) ~iris#eh. too much work.#gonna go back to sorting them anyways soooo#(.. you are something. also: no wonder your wrist hurts.) ~iris#the long awaited iris
