You suddenly see TUMBLR. Of course, you cannot be him, but you have heard that he is a GREAT HOST.

I spotted a reply to one of my posts:

And my knee-jerk response was "no, you should hear my friends talk about their lives--"

And it made me remember something.

Back in high school, my IB class did a lock-in-- where the group of students gets locked into one part of the school overnight on a weekend-- and after junk food and video games lost their appeal, we got to talking.

Only I didn't really know anything about almost any of them. They were all friendly enough, but I kept to myself for the most part, so we didn't have much to talk about once standard small talk ran out.

So I asked one of the other people sitting with me: "what's your story?"

Your life story.

And he told me. Sixteen years or so condensed into maybe a half hour. And it was the most fascinating life I could have imagined: the places he'd been, the things he'd done, the experiences that defined him. It boggled my mind.

When he finished and turned the question around to me, I thought mine sounded really boring in comparison, but he listened open-mouthed to the entire thing. Other kids were gathering around us by now, listening in. And when I finished mine, I turned to another one of them and asked the question to them.

And just like before, my mind was blown. A completely different life, completely different focal points, defining experiences, goals the likes of which were deserving of an anime. And the same happened with the next person we asked, and the next.

By the time each one of us had finished telling their story, it was time to go home for the morning. The video games had been abandoned hours ago. None of us had slept. We were too caught up in each other's lives.

All of which is to say:

Thank you. I do lead a very interesting life.

So do you.

Been playing a lot of Minecraft recently so...take this DCA x Minecraft Crossover

Sun is the Blaze King over in the Nether and has a bunch of blazes as his little minions while Moon is straight up the Warden in the deep dark. I dunno where I'm going with this AU but it's been ingrained in my brain for a moment

I think it's easy to go "oh, if I could have any power I'd want to be a shapeshifter" because a lot of the thinking attached to that is the idea of being able to look like your ideal body all the time, or always being the right thing for the job, when, yes, being a human multitool with a character customization screen would be terrific don't get me wrong, but a lot of it is that there are so many experiences I'll never have and I wonder what they're like.

What does it feel like to have feathers? How does it feel to be a cuvier's beaked whale and plunge to the lightless darkness at the very bottom of the sea knowing that the air you need to survive is up at the surface? Some species of albatross cross entire oceans without flapping their wings once.

I want to be a shapeshfiter because I feel like I already exist in a continuous state of becoming and I might as well go whole hog.

Dashboard Crabs Are Penguin Pebbles

Dashboard crabs are penguin pebbles.

“Penguins give pebbles to other penguins to show that they care.”

Penguin pebbling is a neurodivergent love language.

good things to pay attention to more often

the color of trees

clouds and how they look different throughout the day

the different colors the mornings can have. sometimes it's an orange hue and sometimes pink and sometimes it's too misty to tell

pretty color schemes in random places (the trees and your neighbors wooden patio and the color of their car)

the states of the vehicles passing you by, dents and scratches and the different trinkets suspended from their rearview mirrors

the sound of silence

the shadows the lights cast in your home, like how sunset looks different than sunrise, and the shadows the sun casts look different than those of your lamps and candles

pretty details in buildings and houses like certain types of windows or doorknobs or archways

the movement of things in the wind. flags, leaves, flowers, people's hair and coats

Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.
