Just a Misguided Ghost.

who cares if you don't fully "get" the weird postmodernist novel on your first read, or if the experimental arthouse film is opaque to you on your first viewing? you are not being graded. you are not being scored. there is value in the attempt. every time i've read House of Leaves or watched Blue Velvet, I've gotten something new from it. the idea that you might not "get" something and therefore shouldn't bother with it is so silly to me

posting this with every artist tag i can think of, even if you dont do crochet, PLEASE TAKE RESTS FOR YOUR HANDS!!! no matter what medium artist you are, take care of your articulations

it's forever fucked that refusal is associated so strongly with cowardice and cowardice is almost universally uncontestedly seen as an existential failure that disqualifies you from the right to refuse anything when being able to admit that you're afraid and say "no" are some of the most powerful things that anyone can do

"why don't you want to? are you scared?" yes. is that so bad? to be afraid and unwilling? why should that be worth less? why should i hope to be the richest corpse in the graveyard?

It's never not funny to me that Leon, the most by the books Knight in all of Camelot, hears Merlin say "I need a crossbow to kill the king right now." And his first thought is "Damn Merlin is being funny as hell today" and hands him the best crossbow in the armory.

The reason Kirk is so accommodating of Spock pretending he doesn’t have emotions is because he is also pretending he doesn’t have emotions like fear or anger or lust and probably has wished taht he was a Vulcan so he could be a more perfect captain send post

This is lowkey also the reason bones is always arguing with Spock. Bones also pretends he doesn’t have (serious) emotions. Like sadness or disappointment or anything vulnerable tbh, and he sees Spock doing better at pretending. He’s always making fun of Spock being too Vulcan, but maybe he wishes he had a bit of Vulcan in him to make pretending a bit easier?

its crazy that the old british boys school model actually existed and wasn’t invented as some sort of upper class gay guy bdsm thing

british boys boarding school is the closest an actually existing society has ever been to what i have heard of a/b/o

a character who truly, legitimately goes “but why does that matter?” about their feelings when someone who cares about them asks. and the sudden falling of everyone around them’s faces as they realize that this person doesn’t recognize themself as someone who needs or should be taken care of. i want Everyone to hurt. surprise at the idea, worry for them, horror at not having noticed. do you see this person who doesn’t think of themselves as a person?
