Man don't you hate it when you're listening to a book, expecting silly stories about lesbians for the next 5 books, and then all of a sudden in book 2 we start bringing up fixing wage disparity between the working class and the nobility by directly placing a character of aristocratic legacy within a poorer area and having her kill someone by blasting swords at his undead form, to find out that he only took this job to be able to pay for medicine for his mom. So said rich girl TM starts doing a bunch of research into how fix the economy, and goes to the church to try and find help, just for MC to need to have the debate about why homophobia bad, to have one of the nuns come out as a lesbian to her and insisting she's in love with MC who's in love with rich girl TM and the nun who's been telling rich girl TM about poverty convinces isekai'd MC to tell the story about her first love (it was actually a love square. Also, this is the 3rd if not 4th love triangle in this series.) And then the nun drops that one of the 3 princes of the dating sim this world is set in is actually trans, but I can't figure out if they're trans fem or trans masc, but I'm leaning towards trans fem because it said that princey christ is actually a girl and it's 1:52 in the morning, and I desperately need to go to sleep.
Smash cut to RTTE, when Snotlout, Hiccup, and their dragons meet up with the Screaming Death again and Snotlout is like "stop acting like you're friends with this dragon!"

Today, my therapist was talking about how the smallest bits of self-care — even making yourself a mug of warm tea — are a way of recognizing your own worth, and how meaningful they are when you really dislike yourself. “After all,” she said, “I don’t know about you, but I don’t often make tea for people I hate.”
And that really hit me, especially because I’m an acts-of-service kind of person and tea is one of my go-to ways to show people that I’m thinking about them, care about them, and hope their day could be a little better. So maybe when I make tea for myself, I’m saying that to myself, too, that I’m thinking of my own needs, caring for myself, and trying to make my day a little better.
And that’s really important to me because a lot of days I struggle to do basic things to keep myself going and just feel like I’m self-destructive, only ever making things worse… but most days I still manage to make myself a mug of tea or two. And it’s good to know that that matters.
I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend
Listen, I wasn't raised religious, I've never been religious, and I don't agree with the majority of what the Christian church has done throughout it's history. Their imagery tho, fire. This did not turn out as vaguely religious as I wanted it to be, but that's fine.
We cope with our failures.
Also, I mostly do digital art, and might start posting some of the stuff I've drawn, so yeah.
