Someone new by hozier is ghostsoap coded

Someone please tell me you understand what I mean.

like every day Ghost gets to see soap smiling and laughing and talking to people with his brilliantly beautiful eyes, and that laugh that could make even the coldest of hearts (his) melt.

and every day he gets to be amazed by how smart soap is. he gets to listen as soap tells him the latest news on that new explosive formula he's working on. and he gets to watch soap work out complicated formulas to calculate the needed about of c4 or semtex to effectively blow support beams but not bring down the entire building. every day he gets to work with soap as they practice their sniping skills, and he gets to watch bullseye after bullseye after bullseye puff with smoke.

Also like. It's literally DAY ONE of my new screen-time enforcement. Not even a full twenty four hours yet.

And holy shit.

Literally, all day long, I have been physically itching to pick up my phone and get on here and see what's happening. Not even about specifically bad shit like I've been fixating on I mean for literally ANYTHING. Repeatedly, constantly, through out the day, picking up and flicking over to where the app was on my home page and just. Staring for a minute until I realize what I'm doing. Over and over and over and just seeking and seeking and seeking... i don't know what, but SOMETHING. To make posts, check posts, see what's going on... like physically fucking painful. And then towards the end of the day, the fucking anxiety literally all built around not know exactly what's happening right now what if I miss something. The fucking legit panic. Then the relief right as I sat down at my computer.

Like. I rolled my fucking eyes when people talk about the Youths being Addicted To Their Phones. But holy shit. Holy shit. There was. APPARENTLY. an underlying issue to ALL of this [gestures at self and the various smaller yoyo-ing mental breaks happening lately] that I had no fucking CLUE about.

On the one hand I feel so fucking silly for having such a hard time doing something so simple, just "wait till you get home then limit your time." But on the other hand there's... a bit of a relief element? Like "oh, okay, this was. there was something WRONG wrong here."

After a lot of setbacks, I was finally able to start cross-stitching today! 🥳 It's a bit messy, but I think I've gotten the hang of it now. It's the SAVE point from UNDERTALE. ✨❤️ What should I put around the star...?

Kind of want to write "Stay determined" but I don't think there's room for those letters 💔

[vonnegutcunt]

whatever I'm going to make this shit happen for me. because I've never had any dreams or aspirations and this is the first thing that's brought me a modicum of joy or made me feel at all engaged in a while🤔

Congrats on another loop around the sun! :>

:> omg is that a little bird beak thats so cute

Thank you! =^-^=

Is it a loop or is it a spiral because the sun is also moving so I'm pretty sure the earth goes in a sort of slanted spiral around it I'm not sure because a loop implies the beginning position is the same as the end position but even if they're not at the same coordinates in the grand scheme of things it's still the same position relative to the sun so that might be whats really important here

If you look at other examples of a loop (roller coaster, a knotted cord, freeway on/off-ramps), none of those have the start exactly the same as the beginning but we still call them loops but why is THIS a roller coaster loop and THAT a roller coaster spiral?

Is it the amount of rotations? Then why is a roller coaster with multiple rotations like this one still called a loop?

Maybe it's the orientation. The first one more or less just goes up then down with little side-to-side while the other one goes left-up-right-down

Then what about corkscrews? Twisters? The Good Ole Circle.

Considering planetary movement and all that junk, is any loop produced on Earth a true loop because with how fast we're moving all the time is it possible to ever reach the same point for a second time?

Now consider the narrative loop, the timeloop, Sisyphus and his spherical boulder, me having to go to work again tomorrow

After reading Zero's Journey (loved it) I had a random thought in my mind. Is it possible for a holiday town resident to integrate into another holiday? Would the resident even survive living in a different holiday? I've barely seen any theories about this, so I would love to hear some thoughts about it!

I actually made a post thinking about this exact same thing in regards to Mr. Myzer! Truth be told, I thought this would've been a prominent / big thing in Zero's Journey, since they hinted to it - I was a little disappointed that Myzer's arc didn't lead him to Halloween Town, and how that would've affected the holiday/towns/citizens. We could've gotten a HUGE insight to potential exchanges between the holiday towns!

It makes me wonder if it's possible for Residents to move into a different holiday/town, since they have a purpose to fulfill for the humans with where they are. As I mentioned in the post, an Elf in Halloween Town would be a strange thing - but if Myzer's menacing shadows/past are anything to go by, is it possible for different creatures to integrate into another holiday? So long as they serve the humans, would it be alright? That they all come to the same goal? Or does each holiday prohibit their inhabitants from living in another world, since it would cause another catastrophe like Jack Skellington's takeover of Christmas? Is it magically, or set by fate, to be *impossible*? 🤔

Long Live the Pumpkin Queen *lightly* delves into the Holiday leaders working together, but I would love to know more, if they have certain rules or codes of conduct when it comes to this sort of thing. I like to think they'd share their holidays with each other, teach them about it and maybe even celebrate together! I'm sure that, inevitably, the question would come - could someone from one holiday, simply choose to live in a different town? LLTPQ mentions the leaders/residents *visiting* the other worlds/towns, but I'd love to know what the limits are to that.

One of TNBC's takeaways is that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. Jack Skellington *couldn't* take charge of Christmas, he belongs to Halloween, and thus had to find his inspiration elsewhere. Maybe there's a limitation that each soul is destined to a holiday and cannot mix/move elsewhere. It's a sad thought, but just one of the theories, if the movie is anything to go by..!
