the existence of "maybe", "perhaps", "perchance", and "mayhaps" suggests there should also be "maychance" and "perbe"

They say that the way you should view disagreements in relationships is “us vs the problem” and not “me vs them” and I think that to a certain extent that mindset can also be helpful when engaging in political or ideological movements

Nathan Ford, my favorite Greek tragedy on cable TV, an Icarus with wax wings made of righteous anger and a moral code that he'll break any rule for, burned up in the hellfire of his own rage, a modern day Prometheus stealing fire from the gods and giving their power to the people so that they can burn down the thrones their oppressor sits upon sealing his own fate and dooming himself to eternal suffering while knowing if he was given the choice a thousand times over he'd still do it every single time

Nathan Ford, my favorite blorbo packed with every type of Catholic imagery you could give to one man, joined the seminary to atone for the sins of his father, left to serve a different master playing detective for an insurance agency before the loss of a son crumbled his whole world down around him like the walls of Jericho, and in his grief he was handed a burning sword by fate and told to Avenge. The archangel Nate Ford, given a flame of anger so hot it rained hellfire down upon those that would never fit between the eye of a needle, a violent saint on a righteous crusade soaking the world in blood and that will only end one way, he'll leave a graveyard behind him, but he will still have to dig one last grave when he's done

Nathan Ford, my favorite folk song hero, a Boston Irish drunk, the moral son of an immoral mobster, an utter bastard with anger management issues, and a control freak with a sadistic streak, who took all the pain and all the anger in his heart and used it for Good, the ballad of Nate Ford echoes through the world like a call to action, an inspiration for the future, the sacrifices he made to be the catalyst for a movement he'd make over and over again even if the nature of being the spark means you'll never see the fire

Nathan Ford, my favorite terrible horrible broken man content to drink himself into an early grave if it mean he'd get to see his son again until he was given a chance to ruin the lives of men infinitely worse than he could ever be and save even just one person the same pain he suffered and so he postponed his death until his rage burned his own heart into ash

Nathan Ford, a tragedy with only one ending, but by God if he wasn't going to cause some hell on his way down

i'm morally against time travel, but i really need scientists to figure out how to time freeze. not generally, just like, in a box. so i can store my vegetables without fear of losing them. please, scientists, i have executive dysfunction and my fridge is not enough to cover the time where i manage to get groceries and the time i manage to cook. i need you to break the laws of time and space because i can't lose another brocoli.

My mom spent like four months embroidering this on and off. She asked me to post it for her here! It's her first time making fanart, and also kind of her first time embroidering anything? I'll read any comments I get out to her.

aw yeah, it worked, look at me automagically in my PJs w/a matching portrait

only the mod I used has separate indoor/outdoor options for the portraits and outfits and apparently my farm cave registers as indoors because I suddenly changed into MY PINK FUZZY slippers, which is kinda hilarious for inside a cave, even one that doesn't yet have fruit bats 😅😅😅

I have never actually tried to get to Perfection on a farm/save in Stardew Valley, but in reaction to the recent brainrot, I decided to give it a shot on my next save.

That I'm starting tonight! Whee!

I've never really done what I would consider a lot of mods, mostly some mechanics tweaks and QOL and maybe an extra animal and always stuff to help with inventory, because I hate inventory, but I've never done any of the expansions or anything.

Unless you count DSV and the adjustments to a couple festivals?

So I'm gonna try one. (Or two or three or four little ones?) And fancy grapes, largely because my favorite foraging mod turns the crop grapes into "fine" grapes in contrast to the wild grapes, and I decided to lean into that? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Because Foraging. (And More Tea Too.)

And of course more junimos. And Mermaids.

Plus talking mice (and some talking cats) to add to the magical realism vibe without going all out into sword and sorcery land. And some artisan options so I have more stuff to do with all the inventory so it's less annoying to have So Many Things™️

And (almost) every mod I found that adds to the vanilla casts' dialogue/events, as long as they look reasonably likely to work together well.

And more (easier to read) books and every swimming coop/barn animal that I could find so now I'm gonna need to play a riverland farm.

And a shark pet because it made me laugh.

Plus weather and critters and some more QOL tweaks I haven't tried before.

And there are a couple mods that turn game mechanics into quest-lines, so I snagged some of those, and an auto-outfit/portrait mod (that took forever to set up) and etc. etc. etc. I will attempt to check back in and let y'all know how it's going! With more links and maybe even screenshots when I like a thing.

Lesser Dragon

So another thing that I adore about Leverage. Each character duo understands each other in a way I don’t think they do with anyone else. They each have a very specific dynamic. Sophie and Eliot. Eliot and Parker. Parker and Hardison. Eliot and Nate. Nate and Sophie. They each have very unique life experiences but each pair has a perspective that syncs up sometimes. And everyone gets scenes together to show that off. Sophie and Eliot in the Tap Out Job. Eliot and Parker in The Long Way Down Job. Parker and Hardison in too many to name. Eliot and Nate in Season 4 et al. For every scene that the crew spends talking about how they don’t understand each other, there’s a scene showing that there’s always someone who does understand that very specific feeling or action. Instead of them all sharing a similar dynamic because they all have similar perspectives, sometimes they don’t. Hardison loves Parker, and supports her, and understands parts of her no one else does. But Parker and Eliot also understand parts of each other that Hardison never will. And that’s realistic. And that’s just one example. Each duo has that. And it makes for beautiful, unique interactions
