#idk what to make of this

you know that thing people do whenever they get so pissed off that they laugh? i'm convinced percy has 100% done that at least once. maybe a camper said the wrong thing about someone he cares about, and his gut reaction is to hurt them. but he knows he shouldn't do that. so he just laughs for a few seconds, leave his sword on the table, and spends the rest of the day in the camp lake.

I just found out that the Roman's fought on the side of the confederates in the Civil War.

relationship labels are so weird I just met up with a person whose relationship to me is would be my crush if:

I allowed myself to have crushes

they were not in a long term relationship

we met more than once every two years

I've been thinking a lot about magic healing today.

Like I can't stop thinking about how much truly incredible medical knowledge (specifically what we now think of as folk medicine, or like... battlefield surgery) is rendered pretty much completely obsolete by the existence of people who can mend bones with a thought. About how rare it must be for someone to actually know about how a body functions, when among most adventuring types, there's... actually little practical use for such knowledge, with little motivation beyond curiosity to figure it out.

Like of course, I'm sure there are many settings in which those with magical talent are few and far between. I'm sure there are low-magic settings where having access to magical healing is rare, and/or comes at a prohibitively high price for most commoners. But I can't help but think that... in worlds where healing spells and broad-spectrum healing potions are found in the stock of pretty much every merchant and every thug's inventory, ready to be looted, the work of midwives, village wise-women, herbalists, field medics, surgeons, and a thousand other professions is made pretty much completely irrelevant to so many people, simply because clerics, paladins, druids and such, are able to just.... wave a hand, and eradicate diseases, mend bones, transfuse blood, restore limbs, and sometimes even raise the dead.

Being medically knowledgeable on top of being magically adept would probably not only be rare as hell (hello, Halsin), it'd also take a lot of dedication, and a lot of respect for the body and the natural way of things that... I don't know how many even among the best magical healers would actually have.

I'd imagine that many who usually have steady access to a healer don't actually know jack shit about their own health, and... maybe even those who rely on magic to heal, don't actually know what they're doing all that often.

Idk. I'm just rotating this thought in my head today.

My coworker came back from paternity leave on Monday, so last Friday I had hid a bunch of little pics of his baby around his cubicle (pics he had shared with us) and he's spent the week trying to find them all. Theres some random ones across the floor as well hidden up on walls lol, anyways my manager comes up to me today and she's like "yesterday me and [team supervisor] saw those and immediately knew it was you that put them up lol" so this is my legacy now somehow

[kimkhimhant]

so my therapist asked me the other day if i've ever been allowed to be bad at something and... it made me realise that... i was only ever encouraged to pursue hobbies i was good enough at to monetize. like in middle school, it was making polymer clay figurines and knitted items that i sold at fairs until i was burnt out and decided i didn't like the hobby anymore, in high school it was painting, which again, i was encouraged to sell at art fairs & and urged away from all non-marketable art until i was so disenchanted i turned down art school, and now it's writing where my dad bitches at me whenever i'm working on fanfic (non-monetizable) rather than my original works. i've never been allowed to have a low-stakes hobby that i do purely for enjoyment. (and not to be bitter, but my brother's hobbies like disc-golfing and canoeing and things like that are all low-stakes)

I'm sorry about the creelarke hater wilding in the main tags and dragging mothergate into it

Have they never heard of dead dove before?

me out here living the peaceful life either being blocked or having this person blocked bc...i genuinely have no idea what person you're talking about.

not to mention that mothergate is well within the body horror constraints of ST canon...like...okay i guess? idk take it up with the duffers. the fandom can excuse comparing henry and will to hannigram, but they draw the line at medical malpractice? whoever this person is is going to have a Really Bad Day when they learn about what happens to intersex chlidren irl.

I also don't know if you mean mothergate the theory or mothergate the fic snippet lmao
