#which i kind of love

[arcadiashaven]

Had a dream about hell. I had my wings, my horns, everything.

I miss it. I miss them. I miss the few friends I had.

on the plus side, I was able to finally curl up in warm blankets and snooze like I used to.

I missed that feeling, too. It was good to get it back, even if for just a short while :)

Baby 👁👄👁

She didn't want to think of options, pushing the choice off as long as she could. It was her baby but she couldn't be a mother. Especially not when her parents made it clear that she would get no help from them, and she was sure the very fact would give her granddad a heart attack.

somehow even though everyone is on their actual knees there is still another week of term yet BUT today was my last day going in and my also last teaching day of term so the tiny part of me that isn’t utterly shattered is feeling very very festive

oh, i love the way relationships develop their own personal language of love. when all that joy shows the way they love you. i love when it is a little icon to who they are, to how you get along with them.

my sister takes a picture of a dead bug and sends it to me - this is you. my friend asks me how the move is going; she put a reminder in her phone to check up on me. i put a piece of ice down my friend's back, he returns the favor by holding my phone over my head and making me jump to catch it. jason and i scream-sing green day while going all of 15 miles an hour down country roads. molly is who i go to for a quiet night in with 5 dollar wine.

i go out for dinner with them and have to step outside to take a phone call; when i come back they've ordered my favorite appetizer without needing to be asked. andrew and i have a long-standing tradition of him picking me up to spike me directly into the first soft-looking surface around. i don't even need to speak to my best friend - she and i will just look at each other and have an entire conversation. burst out laughing at 3 PM, high and cackling like we're evil witches. i just moved by myself into a new city - my brother keeps introducing me to his friends that now live close to me. he always says - oh yeah, this is sibling and then pretends to ignore me. for days now, my family has been in and out of my apartment, just tinkering with things; making sure i am settling in nicely.

i usually have watermelon instead of cake for my birthday; kim forces a full yankee candle into the rind so i can have something to blow out and wish on. for 20 minutes on a saturday, all us grown adults crawl into one bed to have a cuddle puddle like we're in high school again. every 20 seconds someone starts giggling, and then we're laughing again. nick calls me from california; we both groan about the price of tickets, agonizing. miranda and i meet up in the city for the first time in years - without discussing it beforehand, the minute we lay eyes on each other, we both strike gruesome little gremlin poses instead of waving. dean always goes for the hug. joe always does a single firm handshake. sometimes i think about my friends and get so happy i just start crying.

oh, how wonderful to live in a world where affection is biologically ingrained in us. how wonderful that affection helps us build our single greatest strength - community. how wonderful that affection is our body's way of saying - thing is good, let's keep. how wonderful, this language, this skein we weave! to show the other person - i might not always say it. but i love that you live in me.

[First Part] - [second]

Baby (who still has no name) is warming up to Geralt, who also starts to connect some dots. (Like, I think he suspects that he's Jaskiers son, adopted or otherwise, but he won't even humor the idea that he could be the dad.) That being said - the kid is an angry teenager sometimes. Jaskier tried all he could as a single parent and they have a very loving relationship, but I also think they do argue quite a bit, and there is some tension.

And the more he gets to learn how Geralt truly is the weirder is gets, cause. He's a good guy? And either Jaskier is petty and was too dramatic and kept him from meeting his dad for nothing, or Geralt isn't a good guy AT ALL and has hurt Jaskier really bad, and he doesn't think Geralt has it in him, but some people (and especially alphas) get really weird and archaic around omegas? And he had to witness again and again, with how little respect his unbonded, single father of a bastard child was treated - is Geralt like that too? But Jaskier still only ever talked somewhat kindly about him. And from all he saw... he trusts Geralt. He's a quiet, but witty and honorable man. But is it fair to doubt the parent that was there for him, that raised him, that sacrificed so much for him? The poor kid is so conflicted.

I'm kinda of curious since you seem to have been infected with the Shroud brainrot, do you have any thoughts on Idia and Lilia being internet friends?

oh I have absolutely been infected with Shroud brainrot, how did they shoot right up next to grampa vampire and his idiot dragon son, I did not anticipate this plot twist

"Idia and Lilia don't realize that they're WoW friends" is probably my favorite running gag (+ bonus Silver bragging about his Cool Jock Gamer Dad in front of Idia, who makes neither connection and ends up just being super intimidated by this hypothetical chad dad). and if I'm being 100% honest I was actually a little disappointed that it ended up being blatantly shown because it makes for SUCH a good "hey wait a minute" moment as they both go on about their online bestie. BUT their friendship is actually really sweet and getting to see (and now hear, Lilia WHY do you talk like that online WHY IS THAT YOUR ONLINE VOICE) them interact more than made up for that, so I'm happy to see it! 💚 now that it's in the main story I am expecting some choice bits in episode 7. can't wait for Idia to be forced into even more social interaction against his will.

there is also a particularly good bit in one of Idia's stories where Lilia brings up the possibility of meeting offline and they're just. both of them are just like.

Now that the teaser trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder has been released, I wanted to bring back this post from Taika's Instagram last year which basically sums up why I'm so excited

It's not going to take itself too seriously, it's just going to be unapologetically fun and I cannot wait!

hey so this a thing i gave up on at one point but decided to finish today. it’s inspired by the wonderful madi @aro-of-artemis and their lovely lil hoodie swap fic which you should go and read immediately here. (full disclosure this is not a scene in the fic and is literally just me pining for how i want the story to end lmao) i wanted to try something different with this and go in a painterly direction, which is a thousand miles away from my regular style, and that is probably why i stopped and started this a hundred times over. it’s a mix of three different types of watercolour (paint, pencil + palette) on 200gsm cotton watercolour paper. anyway ralph lauren hoodie simon is my fave boy in the whole world and i would die for him.

i was just thinking yesterday about how in d&d actual play a lot of the times the heroes are simply going to win. like there’s no other option. obviously it’s a journey to get there and sometimes there can be losses along the way (ex: molly), but the heroes are kind of on a very pre-destined path of victory. the path to victory isn’t pre-determined, which is what makes it interesting to watch, but still. it’s just very, very unlikely in the kind of broadcasted actual plays that i watch/listen to that a DM would ever go through with a TPK. which i am very happy with because on the whole i don’t think i want to see a TPK play out in my actual plays. BUT. the idea of a calamity campaign has me so excited because of the sort of counterpart idea of all these characters being destined to fail and destined to perish. the calamity was a long, long time ago and it can’t be stopped. i really love the idea that we’re going back in time within the world as observers, happy to see a new story, but without much of a way to change the ending. i’m so hyped for this.

I saw this meme the other day, that was like

A;"Do you think we should make 2a more clear?" B:"It says 'Shall Not Be Infringed' how much clearer can we get?"

Then a comment that said something like "When people asked Thomas Jefferson if they could buy cannons he said 'What am I your king? Do whatever you want'"

I have an honest question that I want to have a dialogue about. Cause I have been thinking about this for days and I need answers (Sorry this gets long but I ask you to read it if you are a staunch 2a person and give feedback)

How come people always ignore the "For the purposes of well regulated Militia" part?

How many children have to die before "well regulated" starts to matter? You would think it'd be one or like 10 but it's not. Since Columbine 169 children have died in school shootings so it's not that number either. Every time a school shooting happens the number of children you are hypothetically okay with dying gets a little higher. That's not counting the people who are killed in regular mass shootings, gang violence, who are injured, children and parents who are now traumatized for life. Just. Dead kids.

So my question to all the "Shall Not Be Infringed In Any Way" people is how many dead children is too many dead children to you personally? If it was your child would you change your mind then? Really honestly take a minute to think about it. If your child went to school and never came home (God forbid I pray that never happens), which is what these 169 children's parents experienced, would you still not put any effort into making sure no parent went through that again? Or is there no number too high? 10,000 children? 20k?

We are seeing more and more mass shooting committed with guns the guy got legally. No one (we'll probably someone but you get what I mean) wants to take away all guns. You can still have everything but this one specific type of gun.

So what's your number? Because the leading cause of death for children and teens in the US is gun violence and the number is only going up.
