Just spent 3 hours straight working on my history project while listening to broadway homestuck I think I may have accidentally found a new plane of reality but on the bright side I submitted my project 8 minutes before the submissions closed

Had a moment today that exemplifies how my family thinks but like, in a way that’s just very sad and makes me glad I don’t think that way.
Showed a relative the amazing painting that friend did for me, and her first response was “you’d be able to sell that for some good money!!!”
Like. No????
For months I’ve discussed this creative trade with this friend, we’ve talked about what the other wants, we’ve gotten excited about it and traded progress pics as we work on it for each other, gotten stoked over making plans to get to the post office and seeing the other finally get it, and it’s just been a very wholesome and very fun project. It took six weeks for us to complete these projects, and now I have something on display in my room that makes me very happy, that’s objectively beautiful, and that I know a friend put a lot of effort into making for me and was THRILLED when I adored it.
And my family’s immediate line of thinking is “make a few quid from it lol”.
I can’t imagine the headspace it must take to go through life like that.

Thinking about Matthias Nonius. Nonius as the one Gideon can never live up to. Nonius as Ortus’s ideal. Nonius as the Ninth’s last hero, what Harrow desperately needs to be. Nonius as the equal and rival of the Saint of Duty in all their forms. Nonius as the perfect cavalier; the one who fights for and obeys the Ninth out of unending duty, a millennium later. Nonius as what Harrow and Gideon and Ortus want to be, Nonius as the legend of the Ninth, Nonius as a poem, but never Nonius as a person. Nonius as a man entirely trapped by his own myth and memory and name. Nonius as Nonius, never Matthias, always and forever the Ninth. Nonius as a heap of bones forgotten long from home, free from the Ninth at last. Just. Just thinking about Matthias Nonius

“I think I like Anetra,” Marcia managed to choke out finally, eyes downcast as the admission left her mouth. She heard Luxx snorting and then the sound of another pillow hitting her.
“Okay, that’s good, right? Getting along with your roommate? That’ll make the rest of the year easier,” Jax tried and Marcia didn’t reply, resolutely staring at her pillow.
“Jaxie darling, she’s saying she has a—“ Luxx was cut off by Jax tackling her and slapping a hand over her mouth, giving her a pointed glare, a conversation without words.

one of the best things about adulthood is that if you want to cap a very stressful and anxious week with, say, two little star tattoos, you can just do that!! as a treat!! ✨
