For my circus fic I was planning on having Shinso work as a roadie and sorta behind the scenes doing food prep and curio maintenance and other manual labor odd jobs but aerial acrobat Shinso is so so so tempting.

Like I think it fits my plot more and his character more to have him aspire to a magic/mentalist/hypnotist act but hmmmmm i looooveee acrobats so much.

I think Im gonna compromise with myself and let him eat a little fire as a treat.

I do kinda love jes’s rationale for why the tear’s a myth. “we actually did find a wanderer we just couldn’t understand” girl i don’t understand the vast majority of languages but if someone told me 1+1=2 in another language that doesn’t mean they’re WRONG it just means i don’t understand

You know I see these posts about how maturity should be the standard and i start to agree untill i realize just how many fucking conversations ive had about maturity not even being a real thing??

Like people will believe what they will but i have times even niw as a fully grown adult that i recognize i am absolutely not fucking mature at all. And i stop myself then and ask what the hell maturity is, and every time i look it up because i want a source that isnt just my brain, i get a completely different answer. It really depends if you get it from merriam webster or this one guy on quora. One maybe be far more credible, but its not just one guy on quora. Ots a whole lot of people saying very different things to the actual definition of what mature is. This indicates that either education globally is fucking awful (which may not be wrong tbf) or that possibly what we understand to be matuity is a complex and nuanced thing that is unmeasurable and is probably sonething else actually

Like i dont know what fucking metric you want to use for "if this person consents to having medical bills" or whatever but if it isnt age then maybe something more concrete and physically measurable than maturity? Or maybe if we *cannot* have sonething concrete and measurable because that thing doesnt exist somehow, then perhaps we can say "to each their own" and just go with what the person fucking says they want?

I dont know about yall but i feel like im saying and not saying so much here. But like. Maybe let people make their own choices. Their own mistakes. And help them so that those mistakes are reversible. Other than that i dont feel like i should get a say in what someone else does. Just. End of story.

"You can't be autistic, CI - you understand metaphors."

Okay. But allow me to present for the consideration of the board: smiling, nodding... and then systematically looking up the meaning and etymology of every weird phrase when I get home.

(The French "il pleut des cordes" still makes way more sense to me than than "it's raining cats and dogs".)

star wars reeeeeally needs to have languages that i can actually learn or at least be able to look up certain phrases in them for fic writing purposes

I haven’t had the chance to learn Trunic yet but this better not be the meme that’s like “if two people were on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what”

the only ones of us who experience little in life are those who have little empathy and/or thinks little of other peoples’ experiences

this is extremely true and I am in no way attempting to contradict it, I am only adding to its truth: it's also the worst possible way to articulate that being in even a good relationship will not magically cure your problems with self-loathing or depression. Being loved by another may in some ways possibly if you're lucky guide you part of the way along the path of treating yourself well, and you can certainly be in a happy relationship even if you're full of self doubt, but it cannot do it alone and if you expect that miracle you will be doing a disservice to your partner that in all likelihood will kill the relationship. This goes double if your self-doubt manifests in a constant need for reassurance from them, or in an insulting skepticism of their attachment to you, which it often does.

"No one can love you until you love yourself" is like the worst possible way of articulating "if you don't respect and value yourself, it's very easy to become attracted to people who don't treat you right and then justify their mistreatment, so be careful."
