I have family priests and even family seers.

You guys think I'm talking about a DND campaign, but this is real life for me.

Anyway, my family seer has said that I'm being cursed by the sins of my past lives and what I need is a clean slate, which can be accomplished by human sacrifice.

This got me excited, but it turns out they're not actually gonna sacrifice me, it's only going to be figurative.

I will then be "reborn" and no longer cursed by the sins of my previous incarnations.

My family wanted to spend the equivalent of half a month's salary on this.

I said that every six months, these priests and seers (con-men and grifters, all) advise you to spend money on some ritual or the other to fix my life and so far, nothing has worked.

At which point my Mom said that's not true, otherwise how would I be living at home with them and working this full-time job at a prestigious organization.

And it really hit me. The kind of life I want to live and the kind of life my parents want me to live are diametrically opposed.

And I've lost my chance of leading the life I wanted. I'm stuck here. Living with my folks, working a shit job that's slowly killing me. One day I'll be arranged married to some poor woman who won't like me or even understand me at all but it won't matter because her real duties will be to cook and clean. And I'll have to occasionally impregnate her and bring children into this world who I'll have to frequently beat with slippers and belts (because that's Indian parenting) so that they do well academically and become doctors and engineers before I force them into arranged marriages with strangers.

And I've been crying all morning, but the good news is that I can start smoking again because I think getting lung cancer will be a mercy.

Isn’t there a magic about thresholds? There is this and that side of the borderline. There’s a meaning built into crossing over. The beginning of the year is to time, maybe, like a door frame in an empty field is to space. Couldn’t you get to the same place going around the jamb? There is no boundary, no wall. But walking through the door, crossing over the threshold; why waste that bit of magic?

i have been informed that the seven stars PLUS sun and moon that confused me on Aragorn's sword -- because seven stars were a common medieval theme, as they were the five visible planets plus the sun and the moon -- was in fact the seven stars of the Big Dipper (one of the only constellations for which we have a name in a spoken language -- ie not Latin -- in early medieval non-Muslim Europe*). He put Carles Wain on there I am going to riot.

*shoutout to Al-Andalus and Sicily and uhh that chunk of Muslim southern Italy, Arabic star names were going strong continue to go strong

hi its me, the guy experiencing once upon a witchlight for the first time

so. um. im through most of episode nine and there is nothing in the world that could have ever properly warned me for the whirlwind of sexual innuendoes and gay. its not even subtext its just text. i. you know i thought i was gnna have to make it up like i usually do but no they all just presented me with. homoeroticism with no qualms.

i also did want to note, frost making a cupcake sandwich is how *i* eat my cupcakes and i felt very seen in that moment because it IS a VERY efficient and enjoyable way to eat a cupcake. also twinkerbell is a fantastic drag name.
