Machete and Vasco are so pomegranate-and-the-hand-that-slices coded. To me.

Pomegranates are seen as messy, bloody, inconvenient fruits. You slice or tear or bite and in return for your effort you come away underwhelmed, disgusted, and stained too deep to wash. The consumption of a pomegranate is a violent act of defilement, for both the fruit and the eater.

But that is because most do not understand how to open a pomegranate. They have little patience for the precise carving. They see no point in coreing the fruit gently, no reason to be reverent as they pull the quarters apart. When done correctly, opening a pomegranate leaves little mess. Your fingers will still stain, your knife will still slick, but there will be no pool of crimson drowning both you and the fruit.

The seeds are only sweet to those who understand the merit of a light hand and intricate slicing. Why put in so much effort for a food so bitter and clearly armored against consumption? Surely it must not yearn to be eaten.

Oh I am *cackling* at the producers trying to claim the show was driven by Loki and Sylvie's relationship when she refused to lift a finger to help multiple times (while platonic bestie Mobius was living out romcom moments by the dozen with Loki), and honestly they could have not had her in the season at all and barely anything would change. Like, I don't like that ship but it's still SO deeply disrespectful to give them NOTHING on screen all season while giving all the cute classically shippy moments to Lokius, and then come out after and claim it was some grand, sweeping romance and also there was nothing intentional about giving all the shippy stuff to Lokius. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Also, as I said in some tags, the "we can't get into Loki's head" like is just....peek absurdity. My brother in Christ, YOU'RE the writers! This character has been in the MCU for like, 14 years, played by Hiddleston who is *obsessed* with Loki. Getting into Loki's head should have been a cake walk! And even if it wasn't, IT'S LITERALLY YOUR JOB TO GET IN THE CHARACTER'S HEAD. Maybe this is why shows are so shitty? Instead of letting the characters drive the plot by getting into their heads and making choices from that perspective, showrunners instead twist the characters into a storyline.

ANYWAY.

This is a really weird favor to ask, but... is anyone willing to help psyche me up for this week?

As I've said in the past, I'm hoping to look at a house. Well, I just may finally see it next weekend.

I'm really nervous. I constantly think about the bills I'll have to pay at the end of the month. I mean... I already pay a couple as it is, but at the same time... my coworker is starting to plant doubts in my head about owning a house. My father and his girlfriend keep questioning if I'm ready, and would prefer if I did rent.

However.

I will be getting money back. I will be able to have another cat, and possibly a dog in the future. I'm excited to learn to live more independently. I could actually have people over for a change, and my own space. My own CAR PORT. Not worrying about my brother stealing the food that I've paid for. Comfortably living... as myself. Taking this opportunity to get out of my comfort zone.

I officially have a problem....

A clip-on earring problem! I can't stop buying them, especially since I've found a brand that has these really great clips that look so much like "real" pierced earrings and they have some really fantastic statement earrings. I have to figure out where I can buy the clips on their own because I just inherited my Mom's *extensive* jewelry collection (I come by my jewelry magpie tendencies AND my taste in jewelry honestly). But, I picked out a few earrings tonight that I know will go well with a few of Mom's necklaces that I especially love so I can start wearing them together now.

✨personal so read if you want to✨

the people in my immediate circle all think i'm crazy for saying i'd want to be in a relationship for 2-3 years before talking about marriage and i think they're all insane for it but then i remember the average time from strangers to married for them is around 6 months
