This is the personal blog of Sybilius, general hub for whatever content that strikes my fancy, good vibes, art, project posting.
You can call me Syb (she/her). I am an adult cis woman, bi/polyam, white and Canadian. I tag many a thing but if there’s anything you want tagged you can drop me an ask.
GENERAL TAGS OF INTEREST
- #gardening - General gardening posts or posts about my garden. Lately people consider this to be feature content on my blog, which is charming.
- #laugh rule - Things that made me laugh, might do the same for you!
- #personal - things pertaining to my life. I will use the no-reblog feature if I don't want it reblogged, which is rare. If it’s just tagged personal, you can reblog if you relate.
- #poetry - poetry I found and enjoyed.
- #art - art I found and enjoyed.
- #the practice continues - of or relating to surviving and turning over the joys and struggles of being alive. Tag is referential to Zen Buddhist practice.
- #my fic - Fanfiction that I write on Ao3.
- #my fan art - Fan art that I have made for various things! #my art is a lesser-used tag.
- #sybchess - for when I post about my forays into improving at chess. Normal chess posts are under #chess. I am a fandom freak first and everything else second, so when I poke my nose into the Ao3 tags about chess, it will be tagged #chess rpf .

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!
remember that scene in red cliff where zhuge liang just casually delivered zhou yu's wife's horse's baby. my man was just there in the stable elbows deep in horse vagina. that was so wild.

my 100% failproof way to handle reactionaries asking why i don’t shave at all is going “because i don’t want to” it works because what they really want is an argument about the merits of feminism, and they’ll draw it out and try to convince you it’s a cult or whatever, but you can avoid it all by sticking to “i just don’t wanna. don’t feel like it” and if they argue with you about it you can use your ultimate ability, which is “i’m sorry i thought it was a free country?” which, believe me, they cannot come back from. they’ll either drop it or start harping on something you didn’t say, and it’s important you don’t take the bait at that point. when they can’t argue with what you say, they assume your beliefs and attack those. and you crucially must be visibly baffled at their change of direction because it will make them seem and possibly feel crazy (which they are). “i don’t want to shave” is a perfect response because truly it all comes down to autonomy and the ability to do what you want. they’ll try to say “feminism makes you think you have to do that” and it’s important to not take that bait. to reiterate that you don’t know what they mean and you just don’t like shaving and that it’s really weird to look into it that deep. this works i promise
I did my best to keep the gardening small scale this year, just to avoid overwhelming myself. On the deck, the herb pots are thriving, and have been used happily in a few recipes.
In the bed we have three dahlias in various states of suffering -- some kind of critter is eating the leaves-- and two late season cheap tomato plants which probably got a bit root bound...not super happy with their growth so far, but there is still time.
In the big fabric pot, a happy dahlia. My favorites this season, two shishito pepper plants making nice peppers for meeeee. Perhaps i will pick them to add to beans on toast for breakfast tomorrow.
Finally, a lavender plant to go in the ground, which has been serving reliable bounty. Love her.
the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

Actually re: that post about having a secret crush, I had a sort of opposite experience where I remember vividly having a crush as like a 13 year old on a 15 year old boy in my theater cast. One of the 14 year old girls found out from me and said they would protect my secret.
I caught them telling him I didnt have a crush and I decided fuckit and said "nah thats not true actually i definitely have a crush"
and he was like "oh sorry i dont feel that way"
and i was like "and that is a-okay" --
and i experienced such outright euphoria from coming out with it that I vowed never to nurse a crush i could reasonably act on for too long. Which turned out to be a great life lesson :)
Realized I never posted my recipe for Zzoup on tumblr! It's up for free on my soup patreon, and if you like it you could possibly subscribe to get 100+ other soup recipes, and a new one every month!
"The colour: old blood on snow. The taste: paprika, mushrooms, irony. The recipe: winewound chanterelles, exile's rose, paprika, pork stock, lament-onions, hanged men's tears, and some salt."
I had a lot of fun making this one and it's absolutely delicious! @failbettergames, what do you think?
i appreciate that beatlemania happened and all those men were medium ugly at best. they don’t let medium ugly people even exist in the public eye anymore
