shit i don't even know man

we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

The world’s most hydrated worm-like beast.

personally i think miucrosoft should be sued for what they're doing to the game industry

Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today. 

deepen the shadows bro. it'll be ok

i meant art-wise but if any dark sorcerers see this. you do you

The Byzantine Empire, that is.

Oh FUCK

My eyes have just fallen out of my head because of this gorgeous fabric.

Because one can never get enough visuals of medieval clothing …

fuuuck I could use a mysterious benefactor right now

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

kind of in awe that the "is fetish gear ok to wear at pride events" shit is ongoing in 2026 like its literally fine 😭 if someone brings kids to a pride parade they aren't gonna be traumatized seeing someone in a harness or even shirtless or whatever like genuinely who caressssss.... when i was a kid just going to anime conventions people sold fetish gear there and it didn't bother me, like

to be so honest can we stop pretending that kids don't already know about sex or fetishes

im a simple man i like when things are shaped like other things. stool shaped like a mushroom. pillows shaped like fruit. salt and pepper shaker shaped like two friends hugging. in my ideal world i will have a house stocked entirely with novelty objects shaped like other objects and it will be beautiful.

people who don’t want kids get hated a lot more than people who force their kids to a certain religion, who force their kids into specific sports, who can’t handle if their kid is gay, bi, trans, who can’t talk to their kids about mental health, chronic illnesses, and disabilities, and only want kids for a “legacy” or so someone will look after them when they’re old and brittle. I don’t really think anyone should be hated for their preferences but it is wild that people who don’t want any kids get hated on way more than people who only want kids for their own selfish needs and cannot stand that an actual human being actually has wants and needs of their own. oh, and saying “I provided you clothes and a place to live” is very fucking weird because THATS LITERALLY THE MINIMUM, YOU SHOULD ALREADY BE DOING THAT. I’m just saying that not everyone should be a fucking parent. stop traumatizing children because they grew up with their own piece of mind and desires.
