Apparently my Facebook videos think I’m planning a wedding, read “romance” books but I’m looking for cryptic relationship advice for guys. And I’ve got a sprinkle of Disney in there too so… yay me?

I feel like my Facebook things were having marriage problems as I prep out wedding and honeymoon in Disney?

i truly am baffled by some of the cr fandom when it comes to the topic of the gods and c1 and death in general because. the raven queen didn’t kill vax. in fact she gave him more time. she Does get the blame from keyleth and some from vex but even those two by the end were more so just holding grudges wrapped up in their own issues that were exacerbated by vax’s choices. but it was always vax’s choice. which, y’know, i’m aware of a portion of the cr fandom’s propensity for dismantling every interesting choice a character makes into something forced upon them, but the role of fate in exandria has never been like bad faith you must adhere to the path chosen for you, it’s much more like what brennan has spoken about wrt specificity: as one makes more choices they become more particular to a given outcome. but that’s not some curse by the gods that dooms characters that’s literally just. what living is.

and of course death is a complicated thing that everyone approaches differently but. god the amount of people who view vax’s dynamic with the raven queen as an injustice or his death as some unforgivable thing the raven queen caused some how? in the words of laura bailey, Were We Watching The Same Orb? it isn’t an injustice that vax, completely willing to pay whatever it cost him to save his sister, was bound to the Deal He Agreed To. his role as the champion was one he found meaning and purpose in. further, it was the raven queen that allowed him to be resurrected later in the campaign. like, it isn’t fair that vax had so little time but it is time he chose and time he was given, but vox machina tends to fall on the reaping the benefits side of unfairness of power in exandria. if what makes the gods — particularly the matron of ravens — irredeemable is that they have the power to make choices that mortals can’t like denying someone’s resurrection, how irredeemable must the group of heroes called vox machina (whose members drop like flies to be revived moments later) be to the everyday person who just has to watch the people they love die and make peace with it?

of course it sucks that vax could not have a happy ending or epilogue like the rest of vm, except of course, vex has a family and is happy and loved, and keyleth is strong and alive and protected, and i think that looks a lot like what vax wanted most.

I don't really fuss over the like to reblog ratio on posts, but there is a point on like-leaning ones where I start to have logistical questions. Like no one's reblogged that in three days how are you still finding it to like it.

Something really cool about the way tumblr works is it has progression. I’m cultivating a terrarium where the Beatles are transgenders and the dirt is screenshots from other websites and the greenery is cool fan-art

Also anti-terf reblog forcefeild

So the Wicked is Gay video just reach 80k views and 1) I obviously love that it still consistently gets views each day, especially since this video is nearing it's 4 (!) year anniversary.

but 2) i especially love to think that's bc every night about 50 people walk out of the theater and go "hmm 🤨"

I had an awful experience at the hairdressers today but that's not what I'm posting about. mostly.

tl;dr: I had an awful hairdresser who couldn't figure out how to translate a simple image to a haircut and so I left without getting my hair done there. on the way out, I saw something big and orange on the pavement.

it was the hugest moth I had ever seen up-close in my life.

it was bizarre to see it sitting there, since they're mostly nocturnal and live closer to the woods. this was in a strip mall parking lot.

I knew it was likely dying from exhaustion as soon as I walked up to it because it wasn't injured in any way and it didn't struggle or fuss when I crouched over it. it must've just fell out of the tree it was sleeping in and didn't have the strength to fly anymore.

I gently guided it into my hand. it struggled to hold on and fell a few times; the wind didn't help either. but after a few gentle tries, I got it perched in my palm. it was nice enough to spread its wings so I could see its beautiful patterning before I moved it.

most people think moths are ugly, but I think they're beautiful.

I'm not sure what type it is (if anyone knows, pls tell me!) but all the anger and frustration I had about the dumbass hairdresser left my body immediately. I was just struck with a profound calmness to be able to hold this beautiful creature in its last moments. I have always loved reading about moths, wishing I could see them in person. it was a simple but special moment, as strange as it sounds.

I set it down on the base of the tree that it had likely fallen from. I found a bit of bark on the trunk that was sticking at an angle that allowed the moth to hang on. I wanted it to be suspended from the ground so that ants wouldn't get to it right away so it could have a few more moments of peace before the inevitable. I left it there while other people stared from in their cars.
