Taking life one century at a time

ok i absolutely need to know what accents u all have pls reblog and tell me or comment or whatever I must know

Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.

The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there

The only species that can regularly kill you also regularly ventures into your territory with boxes full of delicious food and falls asleep without securing them. Some of them might use their loud-death-sticks on you but odds are good if you show up at night they'll just run away screaming and you get all their food.

Every day I get a little closer to saying fuck it and becoming an apprentice in some at risk heritage craft or profession.

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

Reblog if you are a freak who is justifying their gross actions

Hey, what materials is this made of? Asking for a friend who has a normal number of embroidery projects

Voting to sentence OOP here to 5 years in the RoyalRoad mines so they can come back and give a more informed take.

These days the difference between profic and webfic, for me, is that profic has passed the bar "approved by some schmoe at a publisher" and webfic has passed the bar "one of my friends whose taste I think well of wrote it". Sufficiently appealing recommendations can get me to read profic, but by default these days I read stuff written by people I know.

I cast pearls before swine so that I won't waste the swine's "next spell you cast" effect on it

I keep hearing people complain about things breaking too quickly and IDK if I have lower standards or a different experience of the world or what. Like yes okay sometimes I buy a thing that costs like two dollars (shitty earphones ) and it breaks way faster than the eighty dollar version would have (like 6-12 months), but if I had cared about it lasting I would have optimized for that. But my phone is at least four years old and still pretty good. My pants are finally showing their age after seven years and are probably mendable except I'm thinking of switching from slacks to jeans, which will then last even longer. My pajama pants lasted five years despite using them as workout clothes every day when they weren't designed for that at all. The rest of my clothes are doing significantly better. My furniture is mostly between 7 and 50 years old and all of it except the couch the dog tries to dig holes in is basically untouched by time. (The couch is fine, just a bit frayed on one cushion.) Same with my appliances. I can't remember the last time I needed to replace a jacket or a backpack or any of the random art tools and household objects I got for $notmuch at Target or Ikea or Amazon. I don't put effort into maintaining my stuff; if anything I'm cavalier about banging things around to save myself time or convenience. Am I winning at Sam Vimes' Boots without thinking about it? Does everyone else think ten years is a ridiculously short time to own even relatively inexpensive objects?

Update: another 2.5 years later I am finally making arrangements to get the couch reupholstered. The dog and the toddler ganged up on it.

Yeah, I had Wellingtons as my regular daily shoe for a bit and the breathability issue was bad enough I switched to "wear out a pair of sneakers every 18 months".
