BEHOLD MY SQUEES

channeling my feelings into stamps 🙂‍↕️

Oh yes, I see it! I mean they are sweeping floors, and there’s that same expression of the laborer fully physically immersed in his work. Even the lighting is at a similar angle, actually, now that I look at it.

When I was in therapist school one of my profs said, "A lot of trauma needs 10 or 20 years before it's really ready to be worked through. Maybe longer." And at the time I was like: Oh Shit. I planned to be over my trauma and all better by the time I graduated!

I was gonna describe Palpatine’s spaces as like the bloody insides of a large beast, but the more I thought about it

"When I taught creative writing at Princeton, [my students] had been told all of their lives to write what they knew. I always began the course by saying, “Don’t pay any attention to that.” First, because you don’t know anything and second, because I don’t want to hear about your true love and your mama and your papa and your friends. Think of somebody you don’t know. What about a Mexican waitress in the Rio Grande who can barely speak English? Or what about a Grande Madame in Paris? Things way outside their camp. Imagine it, create it. Don’t record and editorialize on some event that you’ve already lived through. I was always amazed at how effective that was. They were always out of the box when they were given license to imagine something wholly outside their existence. I thought it was a good training for them. Even if they ended up just writing an autobiography, at least they could relate to themselves as strangers."

"ohh my god you can't just-"

I have been alerted multiple times

it’s sort of like clothes. there’s a baseline level of involvement with clothing necessary to stay safe from the elements and participate in society. having a variety of different clothing isn’t *strictly* necessary but pretty tangibly helpful. knowing how to do some minor mending and tailoring is nice. once you get into sewing your own clothes, you’re in hobby territory. if you’re making your own textiles from scratch, that is not only definitely a hobby but not something you can expect other people to want to do

Ffs I didnt even say. Ok, so they live waaaay longer than anyone expected and they noodle around the Mediterranean and around England and France at various times.

Yea!! When I said they're hilarious I wasn't kidding. You should give yourself a treat by looking up some of the mad theories people had about where they came from/how they reproduced.

I have just finished reading Apparently Sir Cameron Needs To Die and it was exactly what I needed! I went in completely blind (to the point I didn’t even know it was written by a fellow tumblr user) and instantly fell in love. I’ve been struggling to find queer hero/villain books where the villain is actually villainous and not just “misunderstood” (lost it at Merulo saying (paraphrasing) “mad sorcerer? I’ve always been quite clear with my intentions”).

i keep thinking that your posts about magic the gathering is some sort of paid advertising and then i remember that we’re on tumblr and literally nobody does that here
