as someone who is lowkey obsessed with how the odyssey is structured i find this diagram by james redfield very satisfying:

"[A pattern] based on strict alternation. Odysseus faces two kinds of dangers; he may be killed before he gets home, or he may be induced to stop on the way. He faces violence and temptation." (from Redfield's 'The Economic Man')

Hey Minnie, I just had this really cute stucky dream. Natasha showed up at the boys place to talk to them about something, and Steve came out of the bedroom with no shirt on. As he talked to Nat, Bucky also came out without a shirt on. He picked one up that was on the floor in the room (various pieces of clothing were strewn around the room) and asked Steve 'Is this yours or mine?' Steve glanced over and shrugged then went back to talking to Nat and Bucky shrugged and put the shirt on. The whole time Steve was talking Nat was looking highly amusing, which Steve ignored.

(Sidenote I've always had this headcanon of Steve and Bucky sharing clothes constantly, like that white tank top we see them both in. That and matching outfits/uniforms)

Oh my gosh, I love this 🥰 Wonderful dream, well done to your brain!! I loooove that idea, of them being so casually domestic together and the people around them just being like 👀😏 Adorable!!

And yesss that clothes sharing theory is wonderful, they're both pretty much the same size around/after the CW days, so why wouldn't they share? They probably just forget who owns which shirt or sweater, and just pull on whatever's nearest without stopping to wonder who's it was originally. I guess jeans would be a little trickier, seeing as Steve has the crazy narrow waist, and Bucky has the thick thighs, but I'm sure they've managed to get into each others pants plenty of times anyway (in more ways than one)

Love this, thanks for sharing, lovely! 💓

Urgent care is a very funny name for it because they do not treat you with any urgency nor do they care

it’s crazy how many times I’m like “I don’t feel good” and doctors are like “there is nothing wrong with you actually” and then they get test results back and go “oh fuck. wait a minute. you weren’t lying. this is real not good.”

and I get it, I know an element of medical misogyny plays into because they see me as a woman but I think it’s also because I’m autistic and my reactions are not ‘appropriate’. when I’m in severe pain I’m silent and I’m fidgety. they probably think I’m overstating my symptoms because my affect is flat and I’m not emoting when that is actually a sign I am doing very badly.

Tips for describing setting:

As a past sufferer of white-room-syndrome, here are a few things I like to keep in mind when describing setting!

1- It doesn't have to be the first part of a scene. Everyone writes differently, everyone introduces things differently. If you feel it's unnatural to make setting the first thing you describe, don't do it! Maybe add some dialouge, inner monologues, character descriptions or description of the overall scene, then add setting. Do make sure that setting is described early on in the scene, though, so your reader can visualize it better.

2- You don't need to always go into great depth. Personally, I only go into great depth when the setting I'm describing will appear multiple times in the story. If this setting is only for a short scene, describe it, but not so much it steals away from the scene. Unless the setting is a core element in this specific scene, in which case do describe it.

3- How important is this setting? Important refers to several things, most importantly, how often will this setting appear, and how much will characters interact with it? A setting like a living room may appear several times, but it may not be interacted with a lot. In a situation like this, you might wanna describe how the character feels about certain aspects of the setting, rather than the setting itself.

4- Senses. The best advice I was given in describing setting is using senses. I like to start with what a character can smell, then what they can see, then what they can hear, and finally what they can touch. Taste can go anywhere, because my characters don't really eat a lot in my writing, but in the rare occasions they do, I put it after what they can smell.

5- Feelings. I said it above and I'll say it again, how your character feels about the setting is the most cruical element you can use to describe it, and it will influence how your reader views the setting more than any other descriptions. So use all the descriptive words your heart desires when your character feels strongly about a place.

I can't say I've fully healed from white room syndrome, I'm a very character-focused writer, and have a tendency to put writing characters above all else. But I generally am making an effort to describe setting more, and the above tips have really helped me put things into perspective!

Maybe some of this advice will help, maybe it won't, either way, I hope this feline has enlightened you!

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
