#but it would take several trips
Text
For everyone who is enjoying the Goncharov(1973) discourse on this hellsite, might I recommend a book.
Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves.
It has a very similar vibe to a lot of these posts. And it's very enjoyable. It's about a guy names Johnny putting together a book which was written by a guy named Zampanò which is a commentary on a documentary called The Navidson Record. The documentary is about the house Navidson and his family moved into which starts to break the laws of space and physics, resulting in a seemingly endless hallway off of their living room.
The Navidson Record does not exist.
There are a bunch of references in the book, about half of which don't exist.
Shit gets weird fast. It's a wild ride but a fun read. It is about 700 pages long but some of those pages have literally 1 word on them as the actual text gets funky starting somewhere around the second third of the book. I've never read another book quite like this one.
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. If you're enjoying the unreality of Martin Scorsese's 1973 film Goncharov, give it a read.
#honestly a fantastic book#shit gets wild#did a report on it once#there's a lot of different themes but space is one of them#the book doesn't just make you think about impossible spaces#it makes you see and feel them as best you can by manipulating the formatting of the text on the actual page#highly recommend#goncharov#goncharov 1973#house of leaves#mark z danielewski#if you're feeling brave you could try reading this book while on acid#but it would take several trips#and I have no idea how bad they might be#might end up measuring the entirety of your house till it wears off#maybe don't do that

I FINALLY MOVED OUT TO A NEW PLACE!!!
i'm absolutely exhausted and i still need to unpack so many things and i still need to buy a proper desk and restock my groceries & supplies and a do a whole lot of other things BUT i'm hoping to get settled in soon so i can get back to the creative endeavors™️✨
love yall, stay safe, take care, and good vibes 🫶🏻
#rin rambles#i dont want to bog this with negativity but i do want to share stuff so imma do it in a way that makes me look forward and not backwards#honestly this wasn't the place that i actually wanted and got excited for several months ago#i had to make adjustments because unfortunately the landlord was a huge red flag and i decided i didn't want to sign#and sure enough she never returned my security deposit of 1.5months until this day despite saying she would every day for like a whole mont#and though it is hard and devastating i don't want to potentially sabotage my own future so i've decided to not take any legal action#i just hope. that that money can be of use to her in some way. get her out of a tough spot perhaps#it was a struggle to get to this point of actually feeling fine letting go without breaking down but!!! it's fine. i'm fine#and karma will find a way if it was truly done out of purely malicious intention!#i'm closing that book and stowing it away lovingly into a shelf because if anything it was. a powerful lesson.#as much as it sucks. never. ever. trust a person when it comes to business or transactions. no matter how 'put together' they seem#always have everything on paper and never EVER pay something until they demonstrate that they can be trusted#anyway#the people helping me move today were super friendly and nice and it made my day!!#and so far i love love love the privacy so much. a bathroom all to myself? a kitchen countertop?? for myself??? that's so crazy#i had to battle thru cobwebs and (fored to) cured my arachnophobia by force /j#and there was a power trip unfortunately but overall everything seems nice! i would have liked having the room on a higher floor but ah wel#ough my back........... _(;3」 z)_

variations on green : February edition
#green is a colour i could gulp down all day#l o v e standing in front of different versions of it in plant form#here : various succulents#no i don't know the proper names of them#leafy green tree#don't know the proper name of that one either#hibiscus#more from the land of seussian flora#found the pic w/“castle in ireland on clare coast 6/93” written on the back in my auntie's handwriting from a trip my mama + she took#vase of flowers painted by my grandmother jo#would dearly love to have it as a keepsake however cousin jan has already written her name on the back so outta luck there#drove by that green house (apts?) several times + kept sighing#so stopped to take a pic of it#it's the colour + all the windows + the decks#not sure i'd want to live there but pretty to look at#personal#foxy takes pics#and visits family

last year (and a half) i kept having nonstop health issues so i bought several little Hospital and Being Sick themed sticker sheets so at least this year's journal could look cute about it, if it was gonna be a common theme, and i only had to use One
#i think i can post this now because even if i do jinx myself its ok#it's been long enough that a doctor's trip would simply make sense to have vs being urgent ykwim#🧿🧿🧿#we finally made it much more than 3 months without one or both of my ears trying to explode and take the other one out with them#if something happened Tomorrow it'd be fine ykwim like at least its been almost a year since i was given the all clear#vs ''if this keeps happening it will have severely detrimental effects especially since we can only give u#so many steroid meds without a break''#talkys

ive had a week to grapple with this but nope brain still whirring over the idea of "you might need to actually get a cane"
#at every level I know it would be a good thing if I got one#I had a ROUGH week with the joint pain last week#and several times in the last few months ive thought to myself#god I wish I had a cane#which. that says a lot in and of itself#a cane would make things so much more convenient for me#it would make my job easier#it would make me want to go for walks again#it would make the bus easier#it would be really helpful on my upcoming trip#and I know this#I know this on every level#but theres still that part of me thats like#im 25 and I need a cane#im 25 I take good care of my body im active and I need a cane#which is an entirely unfair mindset and puts blame on things beyond my control#but theres still this. mourning#almost#getting braces for my joints is one thing#those are typically easily hidden under my clothes#easy to forget#a cane is not#a cane is an admission I need help to get around#not all the time but sometimes#and thats a scary thing to admit to myself#but im trying to embrace every part of this journey#im disabled and thats ok#im not broken#just built different#and thats what mobility aids are there for

I need everyone to see I finally, FINALLY made a decent looking cake, and then proceeded to throw it on the damn floor before anyone got to taste it.
#Emile's Arts#Teruteru#Self ship#Proselfship#Proship selfship#Someone save me from my own damn self#Happy birthday Teruteru... I'm sorry I dropped your cake#At least he thinks it's funny#Okay what ACTUALLY happened is I owed a thankyou gift to one of my neighbors for saving my life from a wasp that was in my room#(coming into my home and killing it for me while my parents were still at work)#So I figured this would be a nice two birds with one stone thing I could make a cake and take a picture of it for the Teruteru Birthday pos#And then give it to my neighbor so I wouldn't be stuck with a big ass cake for several weeks like I am every year for Koro's birthday#But on the WAY OVER THERE I TRIP into her yard and yes the cake splatted on the ground it's for the ants now#SO NO ONE GETS TO EAT THE ONE PRETTY CAKE I EVER MADE#Okay it's not THAT pretty it is sitting in an OCEAN of vanilla icing#I do not understand icing layering and I fear I never will#Anyway...#If you look close enough at my toaster you may notice a little secret on the person who took the photo#who could it be?

had five total calls over the ten shifts i worked on my job placement but NOW i have an interview in a week and a half about getting on the volunteer force which will hopefully be a stepping stone to a job. one more practical exam and i’m graduating fire school
#also for my 911 friends#having ridden in a fire truck several times#I cannot imagine taking a fire truck on a twenty-hour road trip#that’s insanity#I don’t even remember where in Texas the 118 went#but GOD that would be an uncomfy ride

When will people that barely know me stop assuming things about me.
#witchy.txt#you are young and have nothing wrong with you!¡!!!¡#fuck right off i have several things that are wrong with me#i cant go somewhere without having my heart racing for fucks sake#i am extremely paranoid when i have to go somewhere i dont know#i had a breakdown not too long ago bc the same coworker suggested me to find a job in the weekend#among other things#and thing is i would go there if it wasnt organized by the church. hell i would#but if it is something that revolves around having to go to mass and pray every other hour i want nothing to do w that#and they spent the last 20 minutes guilt tripping me into going to this stupid summer camp. right as i walked in to work#i fucking hate catholics i hate them so much#i am not what you think. and if you knew you would kick me out of here#every day it's a struggle to keep my mouth shut#she told me at some point that 'i dont have to have anxiety'#and i told her that it's like telling someone w a broken leg to walk it off#i straight up told her that bc i couldnt take it anymore of her bullshit#but she wouldnt stop. she didnt pick up the signals at all#i should be at the club having nasty transgender sex not in a church summer camp!!! fuck off!!!#UGH#st cheerleader gerard help me

the RAMPANT consumerism on the section of youtube I have ended up on recently is actually kind of disgusting to me. if I see one more video of a perfectly manicured hand with a hint of a sweater sleeve putting things in a target cart or using 100 bottles for a skin and hair self-care day or using 50 different cleaning products in an enormous, pristine, white home while a random pop song remix plays in the background I'm going to start destroying things.
#I know exactly how I got here#there is a specific crossover of decluttering/production hacks/workout plans/minimalism/motivational videos that leads directly#to very wealthy stay-at-home women doing sunday resets and target hauls and restocking and organizing the guest bedroom#and 4 hour pre-vacation self-care videos#but it is so BAD. I am not saying don't buy things or take care of yourself or anything like that#I literally have mentioned several times in the past two weeks that I was waiting on packages in the mail!#but GOD. the difference between buying a set of dvds I'm going to use until they fall apart#and literally having 4 bookcases of skin care products is ASTRONOMICAL#I cannot imagine a single reason anyone would ever need that much stuff#and it's All so sanitized and perfected and nothing can be out of place and it's just awful#that girl aesthetic/it girl/clean girl aesthetic/etc etc#and every single woman in these videos is perfectly shaped and tanned and hair done up#and they all wear these matching set workout fits#just oh my god girl!!!!!! what are you doing????!!!!!??#I don't know. I don't know that there's a point to this besides me complaining and being upset#but it's just so antithetical to the way I want to live and I know it's so bad for the environment#and I know it is encouraging so many people to look and act just like that#and I hate it!!!! it feels like we are never getting out sometimes for real#maybe I'm being mean. maybe they are actually very conscientious of the environment#and maybe they are only showing a once a month shopping trip#and maybe they have just been sent a ton of PR packages that they have to figure out how to store#but. it really doesn't feel or look that way

Random thought is random, but if Mr. Krabs acts as a father figure to SpongeBob (he outright states that SpongeBob is like a son to him multiple times), and Squidward acts as a younger brother figure to Mr. Krabs (not outright stated, but at least heavily implied with the fact that he's been Mr. Krabs's go-to babysitter for Pearl since she was an infant and the fact she canonically calls him "Uncle Squiddy"), then would that make Squidward and SpongeBob like uncle and nephew?🤔
(Not a shipping post - please don't tag ships of any kind)
#Going Jellyfishing#SBSP#I mean if you really think about it he IS basically the grumpy uncle figure who just tolerates him...#... at best most of the time but deep down would not want any true harm to come to him.#This is especially apparent to me with “Pizza Delivery”. Squidward literally saved SpongeBob...#... from being run over and dealt with the ungrateful customer after seeing SpongeBob...#... break down in tears right in front of him. That all felt a lot like an uncle protecting/showing...#... his caring side for his nephew in times of severity.#Plus both this episode and “SpongeBob in RandomLand” begin with Mr. Krabs sending Squidward...#... with SpongeBob on those trips in a similar fashion to a father forcing his brother...#... to take his nephew out on an errand to have some bonding time with him. That's truly what it feels like to me.#I mean if the Krusty Krab is like many other restaurants that tries to be a “family”...#... then this would make sense. That's just me though.

i’m trying to figure out the theoretical journey to take from sumeru to get to mondstadt based on random estimates/reasonable assumptions and i’ve come to the conclusion that if you were travelling by land then there’s no way you would be getting there in anything less than a week’s time
#x#gi posting#like solidly 7-9 days from gandharva ville to mond proper#if you can get away w not having to detour to liyue harbour and instead brave passing through tianqiu valley that’ll probably cut a days#worth of travel but like. ur one the road for a week still no matter what 😭😭😭#it’s been stated that liyue harbour road dawn winery is ~ a couple days travel#according to xiangling you’ll need three ish days worth of food#and there’s no way gandharva ville to liyue harbour is anything less than that#in fact if you’re detouring around the chasm (which seems the most logical bc MAN would it be awful terrain for caravans n wagons n whatnot#then like. 3-4 days is not unreasonable to imagine….#i’ve had to look at the genshin map for so long trying to figure this out lol. the winery is a lot further away from the city than i thought#ngl. like ive estimated several hours away by some kind of transport that Isn’t just walking#which makes all those day trips characters take out to it seem insane but it’s fine. convenience or whatever sjdjsjd

I'm back home from my trip!!! If you ever get the chance to travel to the literal opposite side of the country to meet you're online friends I very strongly recommend!!!!
I arrived and immediately subjected my friend to an over 10 minute long hug, very proud of myself for that one. (Before we'd made plans to meet I'd made a threat that when we meet in person I'd hug them for 10 minutes straight. Mission accomplished!)
#we drove and it took several days and thats something im fine with but...#i will not be making out of state trips with this driver ever again omg it was very not great#other friend arrived and i went to give them a 10 minute hug to but they were to tall and my shoulder popped out of socked so got cut short#in the future my sibling and i plan on going there again for conventions so we will definitely get to see our friends irl again!!!#if driving doesnt work im pretty sure theres a roundabout way to take the train. which might also be cheaper considering gas#due to both of us having pots and me bringing my wheelchair we cant just take a plane which would make life so much easier aha#and not to like half dox myself. have i ever said around where i live? driving through the backroads of Oklahoma is terrifying! i hated that#anyways i will stop my rambling now hahahah#but no actually for real meeting my friends in person was so amazing im still so so happy and ecstatic about it :D#crab says words

The overall concept of kids bringing their phones to school BAFFLES me tbh. Like what do you mean 10 year olds have phones? What do you mean they’re allowed to bring them to school???
#i got my first phone when i was 9 but it was literally only because i was going on a trip with my grandparents#my parents wanted a way to keep in touch with us and neither of my grandparents were interested in owning a phone at that time#(my granddad has one now but my grandma hates them with a passion. she doesn’t even like having a landline. she’s so based for that tbh)#anyway. it was a nokia brick and i LOVED it; i thought it was the best because it lit up at the sides and i could take tiny photos#i had about 10 numbers. whenever i got a new person’s number i would text them incessantly#i still was not allowed to take it to school and i wouldn’t have even WANTED to considering 1) what would i have been able to do with it?#we weren’t allowed to text or call people in class and that was really all my phone could do lol#and 2) it would’ve got stolen#tbh i never brought anything nice with me to school because it WOULD’VE got stolen. in the time i was there i had a coat; a bag#and two pencil cases stolen. oh and my watch but whoever stole it dropped it and a teacher found it#NONE of this stuff was as valuable as a phone. i got my pencil cases for £3 maximum at whsmith#so i am absolutely bamboozled at the concept of kids bringing SMARTPHONES to school. like what do you mean you as a parent are buying#something for your kid that costs hundreds of pounds and then LETTING THEM GO TO SCHOOL WITH IT???#‘oh they need to be able to get in touch with me and i need to be able to get in touch with them—‘ call the receptionist’s office#like a normal person!!! sorry but anyone who’s a parent of a school age kid… well most of us anyway. we’re old enough to remember LANDLINES#we’re old enough to know the concept that if someone is at a building; such as a school or workplace; that building has a LANDLINE PHONE#maybe several. and also: if your kid has gone MISSING from school then you need to call the police#that’s it!! if your kid needs you they need to go to school reception. if you need your kid you need to go to or call school reception#i’m sorry i’m not seeing why everyone needs a phone at school. the only thing i can think is if your bus/transport ticket or pass#is on there. even then - it should be in your bag & switched off throughout classes#tbh even at break time - socialise with people?? like by all means check your notifications quickly but you don’t need to be ON your phone#not at break and defffinitely not in class#i had a smartphone all through college and university and i never used it in class. like. i don’t get why people seem to think it’s okay#personal

DPXDC prompt. Field trip.
Some people would call gothamites petty, but given that most of the USA population treated them as scum, they believed that their behavior was justified.
They didn't like tourists, to put it mildly. Therefore, after learning that in their city were people on a field trip from Amity Park who could not leave Gotham for several days due to weekly escape from Arkham, the news channel immediately decided that a short interview from the guests would definitely amuse the locals. The reaction of outsiders never ceases to be ridiculous.
Reporter: ~Good afternoon~ Gotham News! May I ask you to share what you liked most about our wonderful city?
Mr. Lancer*still in a cold sweat and looks at every passerby as a potential villain*: Uh, no, me..It's so unexpected. Well, first of all, people here are very…
Danny *is high after the tasting samples Dr. Crane gave him for free and is extremely eager to share his happiness with others*,* picks a microphone*.
Danny: Gotham is the best city in the world! Like seriously, damn, I'd like to die here. Although there are constant shootings somewhere, half the time people don't even shoot at me! I haven't been this relaxed since middle school! And in the evenings, there is often such a pleasant scent of fear and despair on the streets. This fear toxin of yours is a real miracle! It's sooo good!
Sam *decides to take the initiative in her own hands before Fenton says too much*: Personally, I am very pleased with the number of green spaces you have in your city. It's nice to see that here eco-activists are really being listened to. Also, the fact that most restaurants have a thoughtful menu for vegetarians left a very pleasant impression.
Dash in his favorite T-shirt "it's not gay if he's dead": Four words. Hips of Red Hood. The fact that it is not marked in the guidebook as the main attraction of the Crime Alley is a real crime. This dude clearly never skips leg days. My respect.
Tucker: What can I say? The speed of internet here, even during villains attacks, is absolutely unbelievable. I don't want to leave this place.
Jazz: I love Gotham! Finally, I was able to buy all the works published by Dr. Harleen Quinzel. *girl picks up an impressive stack of books* For some reason, they are not available online.
The camera points at a red-haired guy with a twitching eye.
Wes: I'm 85% sure Bruce Wayne is Batman. I have a proof and I am ready to provide it.
A girl with a "Good Guess" pin from Riddler enters and takes camera away from conspiracy theorist.
Star: Sorry, he slipped out at night and went to look for problems. Again. Don't pay any attention to him. He's always like this when he drinks more than two energy drinks in a row.
