#not that tattoos have to mean anything

[slavicafire]

I have such a deep love for scars I wish every person I care about could intentionally and lovingly give me one so I can have a shard of them with me forever

Vincent Price interview circa 1984 --

Love his dead pan humor!

Classy, as always.

Still, I do understand he chose the $20,000 instead of record sales, but according to Vincent, it was like hell getting paid.

Remember how they pointed out that Palistrom wood was becoming rarer? Because Belos kept over harvesting it and not giving it time to grow back?

The University’s tree is blue. Its a big ass Palistrom tree

I remember people cringing about trans people getting tattoos of the chemical makeup of testosterone/estrogen or their hormone start dates, and I was looking at some of those tattoos, and honestly, they are so incredibly cool and unique and frankly beautiful. It's cool to get tattoos of important or life-changing moments in your life. It's cool to make your body a canvas to paint, a temple to decorate, a place to live.

i told my physical therapist today about how i plan to get a xenomorph tattooed on my hip to highlight my hysterectomy scar, bc when i still had my reproductive organs i likened period cramps etc to having a live-in chestburster, then after surgery the complications that stupid lil ½" bastard scar gave me made it feel like i still had an alien parasite ravaging my innards... so the tattoo will be an homage to all it took to overcome that long painful history, as well as a way to honor my beloved monster wife.

then she shared a story about a close friend of hers who found out she had a tumor the size of a clementine that had been growing in her brain since childhood. it was safely removed & she's fine now, and she got a tattoo of a clementine slice behind her ear near where the tumor had been as a fun little inside joke with herself.

and i think about the long history of medicinal tattooing, and of people using ink to either cover or accentuate past wounds ranging from self harm to cancer to gender transition and everything in between and i just. i love how humans tell stories with our bodies. i love that we get to decorate the shapes that house our souls to reflect our experiences and celebrate our survival and carry what we find beautiful with us for life.

Elaine: Am I bringing you home? Asa: Yes, please. Elaine: What are you doing after? Asa: [...] Elaine: You're still keeping secrets? Asa: Sorry. I wish I could tell you. I really do. Elaine [laughing]: You know, if Griffin hadn't been murdered in the 80s, I would think you did it. Weirdo.

Hi very kind and thoughtful of you to ask, i am doing mmmmm suboptimal but i do not need to vent to a person per se, so much as i need to say absolutely insane shit in my tags and have everyone pretend not to see <3

She might as well have been the one who posed for Praxiteles.

I miss you Lorna… this is such a mess

This is an old message and I had several other similar messages, but I miss you guys and hope you’re all doing well!! I’m sorry to see nothing has improved.

I saw I was kindly mentioned by @awesomefringey and some other commenters the other day, so just wanted to log in and say hello and log back out for a few more months. 💕

Sending so so much love to all of you. Take care of yourselves and each other, please.

I keep seeing all of your Flash Posts and wanted to ask what comics you recommend reading for him? What are your personal favorites and what do you think is good to start with? I've been wanting to get into Flash for a while and your posts are really making me crave it more lol

DO NOT SAY ALL OF THEM DO NOT SAY ALL OF THEM DO NOT SAY ALL OF THEM DONOTSAYALLOFTHem

Hi! I suggest you start out with Joshua Williamson's run, Rebirth 2016, which starts out with Lightning Strikes Twice. My reasoning for it is that it's a good run all in all despite how stifled poor Joshua was by the editors, in which Barry is written very well and so are his rogues and his family, and it's kind of thorough when it comes to stories that have a beginning, a development and a conclusion.

My only problem with Williamson's run, and this is a completely personal thing, is that being a reboot run it starts things out assuming that people don't know much about the Flash. Which is good, but it also means that the characters feel less seasoned and mature than say, Geoff Johns' run of 2009.

That is my second suggestion by the way. Start out with Rebirth Mini by Geoff Johns (2009), and then work your way from there through Road to Flashpoint up until Flashpoint Paradox.

Both are good in very different ways and will give you a thorough and very enjoyable Flash experience.
