hey y’all i’m pretty sure imp!Kody is dead 💀💀

i saw some people say he was alive and i rewatched the imperium (all the bits with kody/freelancer/gavin) to see if he really did die or not

yeah he’s dead. that’s the reason gavin didn’t kill lasko after he suffocated freelancer because he was still haunted by kody’s death

👍👍

You think you’re used to having weird dreams until you dream a Supernatural episode but Sam and Dean wander off about 10 minutes in and then it’s Lucien from Critical Role running around plotting “evil” with and against the monster of the week with Merry and Pippin as his henchmen

(I was Pippin)

(I could not persuade Lucien to take the monsters seriously, but I did manage to do pretty good persuading them not to eat me right away by singing)

The monsters in question were sorta… shapeshifters that could steal your appearance by taking your hand, and then they’d eat your significant other so that they could feed their babies

Their main issue was that if they took your shape when you had a temporary issue like being covered in glue they’d copy the issue too and it wouldn’t just go away for them

They were fucking great monsters, super compelling, and for some ungodly reason while Aragorn was leading Frodo and Sam to safety (they hadn’t met him in Bree so they met for the first time all fleeing said monsters along a beach) I-As-Pippin and Merry were engaged in Yu-Gi-Oh-Abridged style shenanigans with Lucien-As-Marik

(Including he wanted to break into a secret office through a window over the door so he stood on each of our shoulders and held a pose as we stood to lift him up

We were fucking hobbits it did not get him high enough but dangit he tried)

Anyway while Lucien was trying to do Evil Shenanigans including for some reason stealing a Winchester’s backpack that the monsters also REALLY REALLY wanted, Merry and I were trying to get the attention of the actual Winchesters to explain what was going on

While usually hanging out with at least one monster in disguise, who sometimes knew we were onto it but was having fun watching us flail

Neither fucking Winchester were even remotely inclined to be on camera or present except for a single bloody scene where Sam Winchester read from a book in the backpack to me, Merry, and our monster buddy and very earnestly convinced the monster that he thought we were hunting a fish

The monsters were not fish and our guy in particular seemed perplexed by this very wrong take but clearly didn’t want to discourage us from being wrong

For some reason the way we actually beat them was by putting lube on a playground structure that I-As-Pippin then had to step through while held hostage, lead them through, and then let them turn into me which for some reason made them all permanently very slippery

This did not noticeably fucking help me or let me escape but it did make their feet hurt for some reason and we had Scooby Doo Chase Shenanigans while I tried to work out why the fuck this was the plan and how it was supposed to help

(Lucien, meanwhile, was being entertained by the boss monster and trying to use his Somnovum powers to mind control him or resist being mind controlled in a fancy mansion

We did have to pause here because I pointed out (while not in the scene) that Lucien’s main flaw is Wizard Hubris, and this couldn’t be post-Somnovum Lucien because he had no extra eyes and wasn’t a shirtless tentacle man

We-the-audience-and-players-of-this-show-that-is-clearly-a-dnd-game agreed that this was pre-Somnovum and he hadn’t gone to actually control them yet, but he was manipulating them and using their powers for his own “evil” ends

Said evil being about as menacing, again, as Marik from YGOTAS and not his more effective evil form

Tbh Merry and Pippin as his evil henchmen was about right)

I did work it out before I woke up (not that it made sense) because apparently the main issue with this lube was that it was making all the monster babies too slippery, so while they were all chasing me and the other protagonists around the babies were occasionally being yote like a slip n slide

Hypothetically the monsters were supposed to find this very distracting and upsetting, but they hadn’t really noticed either until I asked what the fuck this was supposed to achieve and why it was the grand solution

Note: this was not in any way a scary dream, I get monster-chase dreams a lot but very rarely in a way that upsets me even in dream as anything more than a minor nuisance

(Or I get annoyed when the dream cheats because I successfully got away, doubled back, and tailed the monsters so I knew where they were and then the dream reset them to directly behind me)

There was a pretty compelling plot to this one so while I was stuck being Pippin and trying to move the plot myself, I was mostly just watching it like a tv show

Also Jaskier was running around being monster-adjacent (not sure if he actually got turned at some point) and joined in for my musical number to persuade the monsters not to kill me

Pretty sure he seduced at least two because there were less of them after that and I remember thinking that this was the quintessential bard scene and why bards are fucking great to play in dnd

(I think most of the actual show was supposed to be about Frodo, Samwise, and Aragorn escaping the monsters but fuck them I had way more fun watching/being Pippin and Merry on Lucien shenanigans

Trying to persuade Lucien that the monsters were a problem and not potential allies was…

A trip)

[girlspecimen]

the vibes of victoria’s secret stores are soooo rancid i feel like all the y2k coquette whatever girlies who worship the brand specifically have never been to an actual location and have instead completely fallen victim to VS marketing and nostalgia for an era that they were babies for the duration of LOL. it’s a lingerie store but it feels so unsexy and empty…

My younger cousin told me that she likes Mark and Derek.. I’m gonna let it slide for now because she’s 21 and 21 year olds are naïve

The celestial jesters with ridiculously short legs!

A thing I did in my sketchbook that I also impulsively coloured, and somehow I ended up giving them reeeeeally short legs, so that’s the only thing that’s really bugging me lol

Also wanted to do this post so I could say that imma be gone for the next five days for a class trip, so I either won’t be posting much or at all, we’ll see

Might reblog the occasional thing, but I probably won’t be posting my own art in that time span

And before I leave I wanted to draw something I could post here, so I grabbed my sketchbook and made this!

Now that marijuana is fully out of my system, the night terrors and getting trapped in nightmare loops for entire irl days at a time and the waking up kicking and screaming has returned! 🤠 And so far they’ve all been about the family that I am entirely estranged from for very good reasons 🤠 And my tics and waking seizures are making a come back! I’m having a lot of fun! 🤠

Had to explain what woke meant to my grandfather. My mom saved me with an an analogy he’d understand thankfully. Though he does not truly know what it means it’s close enough.

Also this happened:

Baptist grandfather: “they say racism has gotten better but I think it’s gotten worse.”

Me & my mom: *agrees*

Baptist grandfather: “people are so angry at chick fil a for siding with the lgbt community.”

Me: ????

It’s not just going to an event it’s should I go to the event waffling back and forth…it’s the worry and maybe I shouldn’t have come and oh Lord I’m going to have to talk to actual humans on the way there.

It’s the during event anxiety and the what the heck do I say? Why can’t I think of anything to say? I said that already drat I’m repeating myself

It’s the rumination on the conversation topics you could have brought up but didn’t think to, it’s the shame for the social conversation cues you deliberately ignored, and the ever increasing horror of realizing the things you actually said…the words and phrases that left your lips.

It’s exhausting but it’s the price to be paid for having a “good time”…which i genuinely did have but sometimes the sheer weight of all that’s going on unseen just to human astounds me. We are warriors

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

WE'RE GETTING THAT SEASON BABYYYY

[ghostpyre]

Very cool life update: I am hopefully getting a tattoo of my favorite cave painting ever by someone who is equally obsessed with lost species of humans, I made bread for a friend who biked to get it from me, I have begun packing my belongings, and I think for a moment it is okay.
