The Queen's Blessing

Politically, Ingrid is an excellent match for Julien not only because of her position in Helvar and her vast fortunes or even her sorcerous might. It is also because she has a spine of fucking steel to stubbornly defy the likes of her father, flee his command, betray his motives, and agree to continue doing so for the sake of finding an out from a Tachonis marraige and her own attraction to Julien, and thus might be one of the few individuals in Araman who can weather having Maya Davinos as a mother in law.

literally so important to have friends where you can be like "can i be insane for a second" and then you get to be insane. and they still like you afterwards

you know what’s a trope that never gets tired is when theyre bouncing around in the plot and suddenly an important name crops up- it’s blorbo bleebus. and some dude is like who the hell is blorbo bleebus. and we immediately cut to our new friend blorbo bleebus pulling the most absolutely buckwild shit you’ve ever seen

enhanced edition of this trope is when they cut to blorbo bleebus doing something entirely contradictory to how they were just introduced, like “i know a professional, someone discreet who can handle things quietly” cut to blorbo bleebus in the wildest fucking bar brawl you’ve ever seen, screaming their own name and stopping to down shots while still holding some dude in a headlock

so far one theme of the 30s for me has been realizing that literally every human being on earth who appears completely cool and collected and together with it at first glance has some threshold past which enough known information about them will shatter that mystique completely. i don't even say this negatively or pessimistically it's just been helpful to keep in mind that we're all like that.

fuck health issues fr. i should have a little screen that tells me exactly whats wrong and whag to do about it

looks inside procrastination -> it's anxiety -> looks inside anxiety -> it's fear -> looks inside fear -> it's shame

Surely these circumstances will improve with additional shame

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

what they didn’t tell you as a child is that you will spend your whole life trying to replicate the same unconditional happiness you so effortlessly experienced back then and that it will never quite feel the same no matter how hard you try
