When I marry shizun we're both going to sleep on a twin sized bed so he has to hold onto me tight at night to avoid falling off. This is one of my many toxic and problematic schemes to ensure cuddles

despite what popular opinion may lead you to believe, some rocks actually do have scientifically-proven auras! Unfortunately, those rocks are uranium and the aura is cancer.

You don't need a candle to worship the gods, nor do you need one to speak with them. In fact, I encourage anyone who feels pressured to use candles for worship to take a break from using them and simply speak openly to the gods. If you're used to relying on the candle flames to communicate, instead, listen for a response in the environment around you - in the rustle of leaves, in the meowing of your cat, in someone dropping something on the ground nearby. Quiet your mind, and listen with an open heart. Interpret with an open mind, and brush your own thoughts to the side.

I’ve never had a reheading go this horribly before. I’d say I’m pretty good at beheading- I may have broken a neck once or twice, but never any parts I actually liked or intended on keeping, and usually a reheading is the easiest thing, right? Just a little squish and a pop and done, a complete person. But this time it just- it just won’t go back on the body?? Which is incredibly frustrating but also, like, why??

And the funniest thing is, I’m not even swapping a head!! This is a curvy dancer head going onto a curvy dancer body!! They match!! This should have been so simple!! But no, this head’s just flopping around like a limp flaccid idiot and my hands are all red and sore now but the head just isn’t attaching all the way!!

Today I did six beheadings and two other reheadings, and I wanted to get this one attached so I could take a picture, but somehow it just isn’t working!! The head is just getting squished around but isn’t stretching over the neck right!! And I’m way too lazy to go and boil the head just to make the slip easier!! And I don’t wanna keep forcing it cuz I might break something but this is!! So frustrating!!

Like, what could I possibly be doing wrong!! Fuck!!

this headline feels like something someone would post on this website completely devoid of context and get 5000 notes for

In case anyone isn't aware, the word "Theoi" essentially translates to "Gods". It was an ancient Greek term used to refer to, you guessed it, the Greek gods. This means that, in HelPol, we worship the Theoi. c:

Pronounced: Th-ay-ee (ay like the letter "a")

The way that I pronounce it is based on modern Greek, since that's the only Greek I know with any semblance of confidence lol. If you want to pronounce it another way, please feel free to do so! 🧡

warm baked goods are insane. something so beautiful and almost maddening about absolutely tearing into them when they’re fresh. feeling warm all over after. I really do get vampires for real

the fact that we are firmly in a time where conservatives are like "the actual founding fathers, who were slaveowners, were not racist enough for my taste" is wild

Friendly reminder that:

Young people can have arthritis too.

There are hundreds of life long conditions and diseases out there that are typically diagnosed between 12 and 30.

There is a vast difference between being tired and having chronic fatigue.

Just because you can’t tell that someone is unwell from looking at them, doesn’t mean that you should assume that they are ok.

Many chronic illnesses are life long, and incurable. Many of them are potentially fatal.

If you have a disease like Lupus, on good days you still feel like you have a bad flu, 24/7.

Many of the medications used to treat chronic conditions have side effects that can really affect someone’s self esteem - like extreme weight gain, skin changes and hair loss.

Most chronic illnesses have very little awareness - its unlikely that you’ve heard of Sjogren’s Syndrome, Scleroderma, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Fibromyalgia.

However these diseases can cause symptoms as varied as joint pain, fatigue, constant nausea, kidney failure, pneumonia, photo sensitivity, full body rashes, paralysis, strokes etc.

So please remember that invisible illnesses exist too :)

Restarting scuba diving as a hobby basically made me go “…oh, shit, the merfolk, the merfolk need to equalise pressure too” so now I’m reading about marine mammal middle ears and lungs

Merfolk probably have more rigid and more easily opened eustachian tubes, for one!

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!
