Honestly really thinking about cutting my lair down to less than 100 permas. Which... Is a lot to consider because I have over 500 permas currently.

Okay so with the line "the olive tree where we first met" we have two equal hilarious options.

When penelope was sassily like oh I'll marry you if you make a living bed out of this tree right here! Cue penelope stumbling over odysseus very very carefully digging up the tree "because how else is he going to get it to itacha we can't have a wedding bed out in the open in sparta duh"

Or

2. Penelope, knowing that Helen's suitors would soon be arriving to take over her home for a while. Snuck out and went on her own wacky shenanigan filled journey where she scoped out all the major players. Odysseus caught her spying in an olive tree. And when she got back she told Helen she had dibs on the cutie from itacha.

i cant lie, im also beating myself up about not being able to get excited for the new game, or anything anymore it seems, while it can be fun to criticise things, some things you just dont like so badly that the frustration knowing it could be so much better but isnt and you not able to change it outweighs any fun- i dont like being a 'hater', i hate totk, but not bc i hate zelda but bc i LOVE it and want it to be better (though im starting to doubt my ability to do anything good with it too..)

and with the new game trailer (like, i still hope its better than im fearing rn) i feel similarly as when the next totk trailers dropped after the first one (which DID excite me), all of them gave me a sense of dread bc it seemed to go into a direction i wouldnt like, i tried to tone that voice down to enjoy the game, but then .. i was right

i dont want to be an annoying complainer about everything new, but maybe i am and i dont like that thought, i dont want to spoil anyones fun, i want to partake in it :(

Can't stop thinking abt arcane s2, specifically the alternate timelines episode where jayce goes through it and ekko does science.

By the time we'd reached that episode, my sibling and I already disliked the season and were just watching it to see if it managed to get any better later on.

So we were chilling, making fun of this or that and wondering why the pacing was so strange when we started seeing the telltale signs of romance between ekko and powder/jinx. Now, my first thought was "really???" because I'm a hater of 99% of romantic pairings in media and don't find it enjoyable to watch/read. My second thought was "wait wait wait, hold up. explain how this timeline hopping works Right Now."

And thus the alarm bells starting going off as my mind worked overtime to try to figure out how this works. Is this timeline more like an illusion than a concrete world, where the people there will cease to exist when heimerdinger and ekko leave? Did the ekko and heimerdinger of this world get swapped with the ones we've been following? Are our guys in the bodies of their counterparts?

I would have had these thoughts regardless, because I quite enjoy overanalyzing media. The reason the alarm bells were ringing was because, depending on the answer to those questions, the romance between ekko and jinx/powder gets questionable.

As the episode continued it became clear that our ekko (ekko1) was very different from the ekko (ekko2) the people of this new timeline know and expect (which makes sense). To be clear, at this point, regardless of how the timeline hopping works, the romance is Very Uncomfortable. Ekko1 and ekko2 are clearly different people/characters. They could be likened to identical twins, really.

So. We're watching the episode. I'm crocheting a far too long single chain because it's all I know how to do. Sibling is judging me for my single chain of weird, sad brown yarn.

Dance scene comes up. We mock it, as we do with things we find strange, unnecessary, and annoying. The lingering sound of alarm bells is fostered by dread as we watch powder think she's hanging out with her pal ekko2 in a romantic way. The dread grows and the bells clang as we realize "they're going to kiss".

They kiss.

We sit for a moment, silence creeping in as the bells start dying. The episode plays on.

We look at each other.

The episode is finished in disappointed and disgusted silence.

Perhaps my horror was more visceral than my sibling's, as this episode has certainly not stuck with them as it did me, but I just. Whatever cute relationship stuff the creators were going for was ruined Immediately.

Powder kissed someone because she thought they were someone else, and there was nothing done to correct that assumption or apologize or anything. Ekko1 kissed powder while she thought he was ekko2 and that just feels gross and awful to me.

Now, was ekko1 thinking of it like that? I seriously doubt it. Were the creators thinking of it like that? I also doubt it.

But sometimes I just sit and think abt how powder didn't know that it wasn't ekko2 she kissed until ekko1 dipped out of ekko2's body to go back to his own timeline. What did she think about that? After the confusion, what feeling came next?

So yeah, this episode of arcane s2 is on my list of Horrifying Romances, right there with 50 first dates

Got Aventurine in 60 pulls!

Friendship is the most special thing in the world because no award could be give me bigger happiness than jumping around in my room and smiling because my pookie asked me if I wanted to match pfps

[milkweedman]

Also, found that 1) there is milkweed directly outside of my yard and 2) the seed pods ?? Have fiber too ??

I'm not sure if I'll be able to harvest even a few of the plants themselves (landlord lives next door and says we're not allowed to touch anything, which seems deeply unfair given that we're paying money to live here but whatever) but I can definitely harvest the seed pod fiber, since it was just sitting in the road lol.

It is SO soft and shiny. I tried drafting some first and it was doable which is how i got excited enough to try and figure out what kind of plant it was in the first place. I wanna mix this first bit with something to maybe have an easier time spinning it !

[shim-changmin]

me thinking about watching the penguin even tho i didn't particularly like reeves' batman film, solely bc sofia falcone is hot? more likely than you think.

I shouldn't let a group of individuals influence my actions and/or approach towards something, not even if they take up a majority of the community. Especially if I hold it this near and dear to my heart. But I really need to slowly distance myself away from the Brsrk community altogether over the next few years. For my own good.

[man-squared]

Went to a pride event and the event had a booth giving away binders (yes, for free) and I got a new one.

The group is partnered with GC2B so that's the binders they have. Mine fits well, is an interestingly smooth texture, is comfortable, and compresses pretty well. So far, no downsides. The thing is far newer and different from my older (gifted/hand-me-down) GC2B binder and is a short binder, not a tank.

i’ve been talking to this guy for literally over two months at this point trying to meet up and freak it but he is literally the busiest man alive and things just keep getting in the way. he had school and was doing a show and there was SUPPOSED to be a couple week period that he was free right before my surgery that turns out he Wasn’t actually, then i left for my surgery obviously but he was still busy anyway, he told me may 17th was when his show would be over so i waited until may 17th then watched it come and go with no response until TODAY where he informed me that he has jury duty next week then starts job training for a summer job. what the actual fuck. sir for someone who claims to want me so bad you’re not doing a very good job of showing it.
