My Dearest One, My Darling Dear

Those sick fucks at Ocean Spray will mix anything with a cranberry

[suddenly disillusioned] my illusions..

unrestrained summer fun

i kind of hate it when they cast the same 10 superstars who are in literally everything in a movie. celebrity-sickness

not every movie needs to be an ensemble cast of timothee chalamet, zendaya, tom holland, robert pattinson, and anya taylor-joy

Mfs on twitter are saying Christopher Nolan should adapt the Aeneid or Dante's inferno next. ohhh you guys want Classical students to kill themselves

I refuse to watch Nolan’s Odyssey. I like my blood pressure at normal levels

My friends and family keep teasing me about wanting to watch it with me. Why would you do that to yourself? You know how annoying I am?

reading about the participation of children in rituals as a form of play in ancient greece and came across an incredibly charming story from julius pollux's onomasticon where a flood prevented the adults from reaching a sanctuary to sacrifice a ram to heracles, and the children solved the problem by....sticking a bunch of sticks in an apple to give it "legs" and "horns" and offering it as a sacrifice instead. it's such a charming thought and i can perfectly picture kids these days also pretending at sacrificing an apple "goat" at recess

What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.
