Sometimes it feels like you've lived your whole life in a house that's always a little bit on fire. Like it's usually just in one room and you make sure to wet the walls around it so it doesn't spread and that usually works. You were expected to take more responsibility over fire containment when you were like seven because it's not like you can expect your parents to always be 100% on guard about making sure the whole house doesn't catch fire, and you figure that's just how things are like.

And sometimes as a kid you visit your friends' homes and some of then whisper to you - grimacing with embarrassment - about how they're not supposed to tell anyone this, but there's a whole room in their house that's currently on fire. And you're like yeah it's ok I'm not supposed to tell people about the way our house is a little bit on fire all the time, too. And then you visit some other friend's house and there's no trace of fire anywhere, and you think "wow, these people are really good at hiding their house fire."

And one day you show up to work like "hey sorry I'm late, I forgot to wet the walls before going to bed last night and my whole house burned down", and you're startled by the way people react, acting like that must be the worst thing that has ever happened to you. And you're just like "chill, it's been years since the last time this happened, and it wasn't even that bad this time", and that just makes people more shocked, acting like that's the weirdest and most concerning thing they've ever heard anyone say, which only confuses you more.

And then someone tries to explain to you that people aren't supposed to have an ongoing house fire. Most people actually never experience a house fire in their lives. Like not even once. Not even a little bit. The normal amount of having your house be currently on fire is zero.

I am today years old hearing of The Character and I will be demanding it pays rent now that it lives in my head

observation: among a certain subset of tumblr users, the term “blorbo” has become unchic, but the concept it describes is still important; and so it has been replaced with “The Character”

This is a book rec for all my fellow moana fans; its a fun 'girl and her weird dog' sort of story set in fantasy polynesia. Gods, monsters and magic-like talent generation. its giving Moana x How to Train your Dragon. Highly recommend. The audiobook (on audible for sure, elsewhere idk) is also quite nice, really gives the story an 'oral history' vibe that does wonders for listener emersion.

the sequel, How to Dream and Die as a Taniwha Girl is even better than the first half, and especially for fans of moana 2 who are now desperate for more pantheon shenanigans

A sims build I'm quite proud of because i normally dont muck around with terrain features:

Name: The Chiyama Tea Garden Description: Inspired by my memories of shrines, temples and zen gardens in japan, this Tea Shrine plays with perception and depth to offer a truly unique meditative experience. The forced perspective mountain monastery is the standout example, but note too, the miniature topographic map of japan, expressed in rock & sand. The Five elements of traditional Japanese gardening are here too expressed: fire in the lanterns, earth in the rocky cave shrine, air in the gentle tinkle of wind chimes & sweet smelling incense, water in the koi pond and wood in the bamboo forest. Relax and appreciate the harmony of nature and the senses while the shrine maidens attend to your aches and pains, then wash the dust of everyday life away with soothing herbals teas. Round out your trip with a respectful visit to the local shrine of the garden, but remember to wash your hands before you enter…cleanliness is not only next to godliness here, it's required!
