i turn 29 on july 1st. i feel like i make a lot of these notes to myself, to check in. hi, me, here's what's happening.

hi, me. hi, you, too, if you keep reading. here's some rules i have been following:

when a book is bad, i put the book down. i choose something i like instead. when i don't like a movie, i don't make myself watch until the end. i care less and less what people think about me and focus more on being a good friend.

for the 6 months or so, i've been asking people what they think should be my next book or tv show. i ask them where i should go on a walk next week. i ask them what food i should try next, what hobby. and then i write it down in front of them.

the truth is some stuff slips through the cracks. but most of the time? within two weeks, i get to send my favorite kind of text - so i tried the thing you were talking about and !

i have a new policy for split-second choices - it's better to try it. i have social anxiety. i have to talk myself into doing many things. i am constantly battling the desire to run away as far as my feet will take me. and then i stand up and i do the thing anyway. i make myself act and dance and sing. sometimes, yes, i know-immediately never again, i hate this. but most of the time - i just have fun with it.

i have a new mantra - nobody is scorekeeping. at the end of my life, there will be no grand reading of how many calories i'd been eating. no reviews on how many boring documentaries i forced myself through, no calculation on how many hours i endured an extremely dull educational podcast. and so what if i try karaoke and i don't actually nail it? so what if i stumble over my words while trying to make a public announcement? so what if i wear something too-showy to go to the grocery store? nobody there knows me, and: nobody's keeping score.

life doesn't resolve with a grade (i know, i was as shocked as everyone else when i realized it). i am not falling behind, because there's no curriculum to life that i should be following. there are no checkpoints; nobody is making sure i have a fully-furnished life resume. i am just here for as long as the earth will have me, and i get to decide what makes me happy.

i don't have a partner or a house or anything that is supposed to belong to people-my-age. i spend most of my time focusing on being kind, compassionate, ready to listen without restraint.

and honestly? i feel good. like actually. i kind of like it this way.

do you think they borrow each other’s rogue names after they die

also as a rogue name for thalia, blue bolt? (blue eyes, ‘bolt from the blue’ being an idiom for unexpected and important news, and also meaning a lighting bolt far from the parent storm (this being because a charge of electricity was so strong that it wandered away from the parent storm)

blue bolt felt so deviantart oc-coded but hell yeah that’s the fun part

oh absolutely i think rogues would name themselves after each other. Even besides just adopting each other's names when one of them dies, but also like trading names. Best friend rogue duo whose rogue names are just each other's real names.

tbh Thalia and Luke would have deviantart oc-coded rogue names lol. Blue Bolt is definitely a cool fitting one! I was joking in the TA discord yesterday that Luke might lightheartedly call Thalia "Green Day" or "Hot Topic" just to tease her.

Still dunno what Thalia might call Luke though 🤔 Cause he's already a little jaded of the gods to begin with so he'd probably try to lean away from directly Hermes-related nicknames? But he's super emo so he'd probably try for something dramatic and edgy. And Thalia would probably tease him about it as much as he teases her.

wash tormenting the reds in the most petty ways possible because he's still pissed off about them hitting him with a car and then blowing him up in s8 is so important to me you don't even understand

[quietwingsinthesky]

no wonder missy is insane about him. she just mindmeld trauma bonded with him and got confirmation through him that she was right the whole time about the thing that happened to her, AND then they traded life-saving moments. of course she wants her friend back. she needs him to see her again, as clearly as he did in that moment. she needs him to be like her, because among time lords, she is alone, but with the doctor, she isn’t.

I've reached season 5 on my CSI rewatch and I'm a few episodes past "Swap Meet", where a woman is murdered after attending a swing party with other couples from the neighbourhood. Near the end of the episode there's a moment that made me jump from my seat:

(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two cups. He hands her a cup of tea.)

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - BRASS' OFFICE]

Erin Brady: Everybody fantasizes about other people. (She glances at Grissom.)

Even you, Mr. Grissom. A neighbor, a friend ... girl at the office.

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY]

(The door opens. Paul Brady walks out of the hallway. Erin Brady walks out into the hallway. Sara is sitting in the hallway chair watching them. She watches as they meet and kiss.)

(Grissom walks up to Sara and takes the seat next to her. He's holding two culps. He hands her a cup of tea.)

LIKE!!!!!!!

Right after Erin ends her sentence with 'girl at the office', the first time Sara and Grissom meet again, he brings her tea. This might be an innocent interaction but to me it seemed like a nod to this relationship they have where both are into each other, know about the other's feelings, but can't/won't do anything about it (although Sara has kind of given Grissom an ultimatum). I don't know if it was intentional - I'm guessing it is, because I picked it up immediately. I might or might not have squealed in delight.

love whenever anybody on true blood has like. a blood-induced sex dream about another character bc you get to see the imaginary version of that character that lives in their head. imaginary bill that lives in sam's head is like. a porn man. imaginary eric that lives in sookie's head is the softest nakedest guy imaginable with zero sharp edges. imaginary sookie that lives in eric's head - this one's not even blood-induced, just horny - is a cute little headband-wearer who says stuff like "oh, cheese and rice!" and shares sweet nothings about stuff she's never seen, like the wintertime

I don’t think I ever asked this, but where does whorror movie take place ? At least the general area, or are the characters pretty far apart from each other on a map ?

Thank you for asking!!! ((pst @ everyone I'm taking whorror movie related questions))

Mostly Vaguely southern and midwest united states. I . do not have specifics. :) Vibes Based! Characters are kinda spread out, but they are all mostly travelers and paths cross often!

Parker and Quinn travel all over the US, depending where odd jobs and their whims and their van take them. They both went to college in the south, that's definitely where Quinn was born n raised.

Ghost hunting squad can also travel all over in their van, depending on where the latest interesting haunting story takes them, for their ghost hunting blog, of course.

Domino is more midwest and doesn't travel as far on his motorcycle, he like's to stay relatively close to where his grandma lives. Like he doesn't Live There anymore but he doesn't particularly Not Live there. He's traveling but always comes back. It's probably also only a few states over from the cult he was born and raised in. When his grandma rescued him from that they moved out of state to a suburb little town, but that didn't work too well, they moved again when he was a teen to a more rural area, big plot of land. It worked better for them, being more isolated was nice! Leigh's family were their closest neighbors but even then they were pretty far from each other. And now that house seems.. Abandoned. Hm. Dom will travel around farther with ParQuinn and Ghost Squad at various times.

Speaking of the cult, thats right around where Roadkill was found, by Ghost Squad. She's lived most of her life in an abandoned secluded house, after her mother ran away with her, but not far, from the cult. Ghost Squad eventually gets in contact with Domino (hey, you're clearly both haunted by something, do you know how to deal with this kid?) and Domino brings Roadkill to live with his (secretly both of their) grandma, to try n raise her in a stable environment now.

Who knows where Leigh has gone the past decade or so since running away from his home, but he's sooo back baby. 😏 He's always been a small town boy! (just because the small town didn't particularly like him back, well that won't stop him!) Ahh, his house is just how he remembers it, just, maybe, falling a part a bit more. Just a fun fixer-upper project for him! :)
