kipperlilly being so jealous of riz for his traumatic backstory and claiming it gives him an unfair advantage when in reality riz's entire arc this season has been about how he has to be 10 times better than everyone else if he even wants a chance to go to college because he is so poor. doesn't matter that he already saved the world multiple times. lol.

it’s very easy to tell the good satires and pastiches from the bad ones because the bad ones are too afraid to live within the form. like if you are doing work with fairy tales and you are refusing to look closer at the underlying logic and unspoken rules of what can seem at first to be a senseless form, you are not going to create meaningful work. to borrow a turn of phrase originally used by maria tatar, if you refuse to enter “the house of fairy tale” as anything more than a gawking tourist, you will miss the particular order to the way the table is set, the rooms that are locked vs the rooms that are simply difficult to enter, the set of the floorboards and the position of the furniture. whatever you build will then be a gilded imitation of how you believe the house of fairy tale ought to look, the table set according to your educated specifications and every door open. there can be no interrogation of themes from a writer who views the form as beneath them!

hellooo very cool person I am just now getting into the atla fandom and I know Nothing other than your fics are very cool and great and I was wondering if you have any recs (or links to posts with recs!!) bc I trust your judgment LOL
I hope this is ok to ask!! also I will add that I am not that picky but I will add that I am very much a longfic enjoyer so🫶🫶
My friend, may I open up to you the broad world of clicking an AO3 user's bookmarks. <3
AKA: literally click any ao3 username, "bookmarks" should appear towards the top of the resulting page. You can then voyage into the additionally wonderful waters of filtering by length, "recommended", fandom, etc.
Also: if the fic you like is in collections, try checking them out, especially if the title appeals to you. Can be a great way to find essentially a fic playlist.
Anyway all hail ao3's designers they done good work

Hmm....how hard can large scale mosaic possibly be? I feel like my plans for the room I'm working on could use something really shiny and impactful and maybe I want to make a fold-down cutting table and maybe I want to do it out of mosaic, even though that will be ungodly heavy.
It's a fun idea. I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
I haven't done mosaic since a one-off high school art class but I feel like the component skills are ones I already have, sooooo....
I have been keeping to a blue and gold celestial theme for both my guest room and my art workspaces, because if and when I move those spaces are likely to be combined. Cutting table, even though it would be for a different room, falls in the same vein, so I'm thinking something with a nice dark night sky and maybe some branches or leaves...

Okay, so I just realised something and I'm not sure if it's me overthinking things but I feel like it raises an interesting question.
When you go to the registration center, Rambley says that Ed's face isn't in the park's guest list:
Rambley directly after this asks if it's Ed's first time visiting Indigo Park. Which implies that the park stores a list of all of it's previous guests to some extent.
However, Ed states throughout the game (both directly in the DMs with Laura shown in the game's opening and implied in the flavour text for the collectibles) that he's been to Indigo Park before.
So if that's the case, why isn't Ed registered in the park's guest list anymore?

as someone who's learning to have a healthy relationship with exercise in their mid-20s one thing that's been so deeply ingrained in me is that exercise means suffering and it feels like a revelation to learn that it doesn't have to be that way. growing up with PE exams taught me that the way to do exercise was to push my body as far as it possibly could, because if i wasn't doing that and i didn't do well enough on the test it meant i wasn't trying hard enough.
i thought there was something wrong with me because i never understood the "exercise makes you feel good" thing - to me exercise meant hating every second of it, being completely exhausted and nonfunctional for the rest of the day, and then being in pain for the next couple of days. and if i mentioned that to people they always said "you get used to it" or "you just need to do it for a while to up your strength/endurance" and nobody ever told me "maybe you're pushing yourself too hard".
now i'm learning that "cardio" doesn't have to mean "run so hard that you feel like you can barely breathe and might throw up" and "feeling the burn" can mean "do a manageable exercise that's just hard enough that you feel it a little" and not "you have to do the hardest setting you can without your muscles literally giving out, if you're not in significant pain the whole time it isn't real exercise". "building up strength and endurance" can mean "do things that are manageable but slightly challenging, over time what is manageable but slightly challenging will increase" instead of "do something that feels absolutely horrible over and over until it stops feeling as bad".

Happy Autism Acceptance MONTH!
Whether you have high or low functioning autism,
Whether your officially diagnosed or not,
When you're tired of people saying that "there's no way you can be autistic,"
And you're tired of hearing people say "there's a little autism in everyone,"
For those that know there's something up with yourself but can't get an official diagnosis and doesn't want to self diagnose,
To those who label their autism under a different name,
And those who confuse their autism for something else (and vise versa)
To those that need assistance with daily living tasks,
And those whose obsessions consume your mind,
To those who have been called "weird," "rude," and an "old soul,"
To those who've had sucessful friendships and relationships,
And those who have had trouble making friends and being in social settings,
To those who are highly empathetic,
And those who feel nothing towards people at all,
To those who are pros at masking,
And those who struggle to talk and look at people in their eyes,
To those that don't tick off or relate to every autistic experience,
And those who may experience other things I can't put into a post without it getting super long,
And a special shout out to those who are always known as being "so quiet"
Whether you take pride in it or not, I know you're out there, and I love you (no romo)
And another special shout out for those who've been into dragons since literally forever :)
