I just saw your post about Laurent braiding Gabriel’s hair, and I thought it was so funny, cause in rural areas (at least where I’m from) there’s this legend that witches will braid horses’ manes at night.

I can picture Gabriel not knowing it’s Laurent and fully believing some witch is further cursing him 😭😭

yeaa I thought this was a fun prompt hahah (This is in reference to this post)

Also I have heard of this they are called witches' knots or fairy knots ! Which is kinda funny bc with Laurent being a fairy, his version would be fairy knots, which are slightly less ominous... but due to his and Gabriel's different upbringings, he would jump to witches' knots. So yes he got a little freaked out😔all Laurent wanted was to give Gabriel some pretty braids

i have crazy garlic fingers from peeling and chopping garlic cloves yesterday this phenomenon is always fascinating to me because it reminds me that i, too, am made of meat, and therefore i am also susceptible to being seasoned

I’m starting to sound like a nutcase at work because upper management keeps trying to implement AI programs and AI assistants and Chat GPT and my middle-of-the-road, don’t-infodump, don’t-engage response has been “I don’t like AI”, “I prefer to remain in control of my own tasks”, “I’d rather make my own mistakes”, and “I don’t trust any machine smarter than a toaster”

as much as i understand being a hater you have to offset that shit with genuine, sincere enjoyment & wonder sometimes lest YOU become the one who is corny. and sad. imo.

The whole point of The Shitty Little Fairy as an archetype is that the shitty, bratty attitude is compensating for a lack of agency due to essentially being a person shaped insect. The Shitty Little Fairy is Shitty because she is too Little too accomplish her goals or be taken seriously by those around her, she is reliant on the, by her perception, clumsy, slow, giant humans to get things done and if they'd just LISTEN to her, things would get done so much faster, easier, cleaner, and so on. The Shitty Little Fairy is more aware of what she cannot do, and then revels in what she can do, so she gets impatient when she sees a solution that only her giant companion(s) can act on, and expects praise and recognition when presented with a solution only she can act on, which can sometimes become a superiority complex.

And all of this is punctuated by the fact that being very small means you are in a lot of danger. Even if cartoon physics and comedy rules keep actual harm from befalling the Shitty Little Fairy, getting swooped by a hawk, swallowed by a toad, locked in a bird cage, stepped on, swatted, pounced on by a cat, stuck in a mouse trap, falling into a bucket and getting her wings too wet to escape, straying too near a bug zapper, or just grabbed out of the air, is still frightening and humiliating. The world is full of things that remind the Shitty Little Fairy that she is small, weak, and vulnerable, reminders that she is reliant on the giant, clumsy, slow humans for safety as well as agency. She has very good motive to be Shitty.

Anyway like halfway through writing this post it dawned on me why Shitty Little Fairies are always depicted as dainty women, and there's probably a more educated response as to the gender politics behind this fictional archetype and how it interacts with misogyny and the perpetuation thereof, but I'll be entirely honest, thinking about a manhandling a woman that fits in the palm of my hand makes it very hard to think clearly. (I am very gay)

[going up to a random crew member on set] Hey man you look deeply unnerving. Would you like to portray the evil that all men do?

I’m afraid that when I say “my butch,” people, especially straight people, are hearing “my daddy.” That’s fine for many. But when I say “my butch”, what I mean is:
