I could NOT be in feudal Japan. Here are some reasons why

I wasn’t born then.

lots of times if I tell my boyfriend that I am proud of him for dealing with a situation, or that I'm sorry he's having to deal with a situation, he will say "no it's my own fault." meaning that he feels like he doesn't deserve praise or comfort for dealing with a situation that is his fault. (for example a financial problem caused or exacerbated by him having been too anxious or absentminded to deal with the situation sooner.) and I tell him this and I will tell y'all this, that I don't believe that. I think you are even braver and stronger for taking steps to deal with a mess that is of or partly of your own creation, because you have to cope with guilt and shame on top of the thing itself, and because you're fighting against the same ingrained dysfunction in yourself that caused the mess. that's like the bravest and most constructive thing you can do and you should be proud and I am proud of you.

Thanks for the question, Anon! I had to combine the “10” with the “more than 10” because I ran out of space! Hope it works.

For me I have a lot of health issues and can’t work because of it, and family issues as well, but if it was a perfect world, I would choose two kids. That way they have each other.

the thing about tam lin is that when the fairytale retellings were going strong in the YA publishing realm nobody was cultured enough to pick it up and thus it never seeped into the cultural zeitgeist so that the bland faerie porn populating the shelves nowadays might instead also feature a snake, a bear, a lion, a burning iron, a deer, a dove, a newt, a swan, a toad, a wolf, a greyhound, ice, and coal, and so on and so forth

Daydreaming about a feature-length film adaptation of Tam Lin done out like the Green Knight, all beautiful colours and endless scenery and reality blurred at the edges

College friendship is sending one of your friends who's graduating soon a giant list of monster theory and gothic horror academic reading recs so they can download as many PDFs as possible before they lose their university database access

ID: A digital drawing of Deret Beshelar and Cala Athmaza from The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. Deret Beshelar is on the left, dressed in faded blue robes and a red baldric with silver embroidery on it. He is shorter, with pointed ears, and pale skin and hair. His arms are crossed and he is looking at Cala with a disapproving expression. Cala is on the right; he is wearing a muted blue outfit with a maroon sash, and a red baldric embroidered with silver. He is taller, with pointed ears, glasses, and pale skin and hair. He is looking at Beshelar with a calm expression, one hand resting on Beshelar's shoulder. The other hand is at Cala's side. end ID.
