Future Ruler of the World

ppl are so annoying “you can’t paint ur bedroom pink you’re an adult” i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige

This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be “mature” about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that I’m 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, I’m just like “marriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.” If they don’t like it then they don’t have to come to my wedding.

GROWING UP DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

I think a lot of it stems from the ubiquitous Waterhouse prints that were sold on college campuses for 20 years. like why would I get a free pass if it were Monet instead Western culture is stupid. The entire point of being an adult is breakfast for dinner and cake for breakfast and dying with the most toys.

instantly decided to reblog when i got to GROWING UP DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

WHAT THE FUCK

Cooking your produce is a way to protect yourself from cyclospora fyi

Wake is an interesting subversion of the Dead Pregnant Wife/Mother because she initially appears to be a classic tragically dead mother. Dead soon after birth, last act trying to protect her child, names her child with her dying (or in this case posthumous) breath. Then we find out the actual truth about the nature of her pregnancy, childbirth, and death. For her conceiving was akin to strapping on a suicide bomb vest. It was a last ditch attempt to carry out a mission she had dedicated her life to. Her pregnancy reveals so much about her character and mindset. It fleshes her out rather than flattening her into a caricature of a mother like pregnancy so often does to characters. It helps that we actually get to hear her talk about her pregnancy and birth in her own words, something you don't usually get from a Dead Mother. It's also interesting to have a character who both chose to get pregnant and yet found the process horrifying as well as a woman who unequivocally does not care about her child, in fact barely views it as human, and is not vilified by the narrative for it. Untimely Wake is still a character who's arc centers around her pregnancy, traumatic birth, and subsequent death. But all of those things serve a role in the narrative basically counter to how they usually would. Wake was not a mother in anything but the most technical sense, she did not love her child, she died trying to kill the baby she'd just given birth to, and that baby is special only because Wake chose to conceive her to use as a weapon.

some sort of worm or possibly a fish?

anyone got a sword i can fall on (NOT SEXUAL)

um. anyone got a sword i can fall on in maybe another style. maybe one that blurs the lines between violence and the erotic. it DOES have to be weird though

its been a while since i made this post, so ive had some time to reflect on my words. anyone got a sword i can fall on sexual style.

I kept forgetting my nighttime antidepressant so I set an alarm where the sound was a recording of me saying "HEY. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PILL" because I thought it would be funny. It was funny about three times, and then it started making me mad and I'd dismiss it right away to make it stop. So I handed my phone to my partner, who made another recording sweetly saying "Okay Shira, it's time to take your medication" and now I don't get mad anymore and I take my pill. The "compassion over punishment" camp has gotta get something wrong one of these days
