#I am not impressed regardless

It's crazy to think how altered my perception of all this would be if they showed us the full story between Malleus and Lilia before they showed us the full story between Silver and Lilia

Podfic: "Captive Crown" by GerbilofTriumph

A shabby narration of GerbilofTriumph's excellent King's Quest fanfiction, "Captive Crown," complete with outrageous attempts at accents and enough bloopers to start a drinking game (with um, raisin juice. There are too many goofs for the real stuff.) This wonderful fiction, full of courage, nightmares, and healing, is gratefully recorded and shared with permission of the author, @gerbiloftriumph. Go check out her awesome creative blog.

All seven chapters are available at the link above, but if you just feel like listening to the first chapter while you scroll, voila:

Hi Shalom! Please feel free to ignore if answering might bring some unwanted harassment on your blog. You said you were considering doing aliyah in the long term future and I would love to know why. In my country aliyah is done mainly to escape Antisemitism so I'm curious if that's the case for you as well, or if there is a different reason.

So, I'm going to clarify that I was thinking more about visiting than living/emigrating there, so I apologize. I'm bad with remembering terms at first, which is funny considering I hate being misinterpreted (which isn't your fault!).

Obviously, no matter what happens, I'd wait until I'm officially converted. I want to potentially go to israel largely because of its historical significance not only to the millions of jews before me and present. While I have faced some level of antisemitism (which I have talked about), I don't necessarily think that it would ever be "right" for me to permanently move, considering I would have non-jewish family who I still want to have physical contact with. It's a tricky situation, but I have plenty of time to actually consider my options.

I continuously want to improve, and I appreciate when people ask me these questions because it does ensure "wait, do I understand [x] as much as I should?" in the case of emigration to israel, it's complicated - religiously, in terms of safety, and emotionally - and I don't ever want to come across like I don't consider that when I think of it or speak of it. I think it's very nuanced and I don't hold ill toward people who make the decision to permanently move

@lee-sol gets 🤳 + 12 for:

ㅤbyan's romantic partner

ㅤit's not somewhere you ever thought you'd be, in a committed relationship with one person. in love. you've always been alone and you thought you'd always stay that way, but here he is... caring about you, even though he was never supposed to. you let yourself take a risk and, for once, it's paid off. for once, it didn't end in the abandonment you're accustomed to. instead, you're... happy. you're not alone. you feel like a real person. he makes you feel like a real person for the first time in your life and you know that he loves you just as much as you love him, and it... still scares you, sometimes. you still don't think you deserve him, nor all that he's done for you, but you're so overwhelmingly grateful for it all the same.ㅤㅤ(temp)

but btw i am saying this as someone who is learning production for like a year now but if i didn’t have the support i had for my teachers i probably would have given up 😭 they give constructive criticism when it’s needed and were never weird towards me (especially how most men in this industry treat women in the music field i always felt welcomed and respected) and so what i am trying to say is that when you are learning and starting out you will make mistakes and all of that and the people teach you have to give you pointers and and criticize when needed and give advice but they cannot tell you and shouldn’t put you down and say you can’t do it?? i feel like if someone told me that it would be so demoralizing and again, idk if i would still want to produce after that so it’s quite insane to me how despite all of that unsolicited hate hongjoong got from eden in the beginning and for a while during his trainee period, he still pulled through and is very respected as a producer and songwriter by many and is talent doesn’t go unnoticed even non stans praise him for it which makes me so happy

coming to the conclusion that the venn diagram of 'rats Ruju would have picked on in college' and 'rats that Ruju probably had some degree of a crush on' is a circle has somehow made this man even more of a ridiculous soggy wet rat than he already was, and I genuinely did not think that was possible! but here we are!!

i think that christianity (as presented in the text of the gospels, anyway) and i have irreconcilable differences after all. there are pieces that still resonate with me and maybe always will. but there are also pieces that are jarringly wrong to me. & i have no logical way of separating out the bad pieces from who jesus may have been and what he represents within christianity, when the gospels represent many of those pieces as things that he said.

[dogwittaablog]

do u think he knows how attractive his hands are to girls?? I remember there was a tweet where he was roasting his friend and he mentioned his sausage fingers lmao

I feel like he’s kind of aware to the attraction of big hands, but I also think he hasn’t had many or really any girl actually come up to him and compliment his.

*He’d probably blush and get his mind going places if a girl asks to do a hand size comparison… knowing damn well he’d engulf hers*

I keep forgetting the Potts family made up their own sign language and whenever I do I somehow become more impressed

[bookwyrminspiration]

[snekdood]

personally, i dont see the fundamental difference between deleting your account and making a new one and deleting all your old posts, if we're talking about "running from ones past", then what are you tryna hide there, bud?
