it's very human to proverbially drink the milk straight from the carton when nobody's looking, kind of monster

That’s exactly it! But it’s shockingly hard to find a way to say that without coming off as a creep.

“Only....when I am alone....when I have total solitude....can I be my.....true self.” *serial killer laugh*

in more positive thoughts I appreciate how much your polyamory thoughts come down to “others have feelings, needs, and identities, and we can talk to each other like people”

Thank you! I'm not perfect, but I do try.

I think one of the reasons my previous situation blew up the way it did is that they decide to approach relationships in a way that is much more focused on keeping the peace then radical honesty that might reveal incompatibilities early on.

One of my friends wants described some people as feeling like they need to trick other people into relationships, get them hooked and then reveal the things that might be deal breakers. And I think that is radically opposed to meaningful content, but I can see how people develop this strategy, especially if they have have been emotionally abused or have particular types of dysfunctional upbringings.

yOOOOO is that a green variety of cobweb spiderwort (a fuzzy tradescantia)? I've been hunting Ontario for the pink-green variety since I moved here

*superpowered beings fistfight over fascist dictatorship* oh look! discourse

[cont.] (like. i get embarrassed about it a lot? a lot of it is me hijacking my ocd traits into something positive because i like small rituals, tangible representations of an act of prayer, making spiritual tribute from the aesthetic in simple ways with small things. so the reminder that someone in every generation has ALSO probably, say, been doing something like arranging specific baubles and candles around a small mirror because it was Right and had Good Energy? is nice)

yes! this is very much the way i practice too & i think really gets to the root of what folk magic is about. comfort, connection, family - especially across time & distance! 

if you haven’t already, read Seven Commentaries on an Imperfect Land by Ruthanna Emrys - it’s a beautiful short story, totally steeped in this same feeling. glad you’re finding that our blog resonates with you!

so whose photo that turns out surprisingly good + is blatant evidence of their crush is like, one of prompto sleeping curled up in a ball with barely his hair and some of his face sticking out, + his nose is a lil squashed and there’s like, a seam pressure imprint from something on his cheek?

   idk why i had a vivid mental image of that specific picture, and that might not fit w/ your ideas of how any of the three others might photograph him   

No joke, that is exactly the kind of picture all of them end up taking.

The “Prompto sleeping with his hair mussed and a sunbeam across his face, looking angelic” is the one Noctis takes b/c his sleep patterns are. Weird. And sometimes asscrack of dawn is just when he wakes up, and one time he realises that he’s literally got that perfect light Prompto’s explained to him (insufficiently) and captured in his pictures so many times that Noctis would know on-sight that that’s the shit his best friend is into.

The one Gladio takes is when Noctis and Prompto are sparring b/c he’s the one who’s into all the action shots and I mean, if he can beat Prompto at his own game of taking action shots, he will literally never forget it, so it’s this gorgeous freeze frame of Prompto, illuminated by the muzzle flash with a cocky smirk on his face because Prompto knows exactly where his shots will land, one of those rare moments of absolute confidence and assurance that makes him look like an entirely different and much more dangerous person.

And.... I’m not actually sure what kind of a picture Ignis would take, other than that it’s probably a candid one that happens five seconds before Prompto realises he’s being photographed and gets really fucking flustered about it b/c stop that!! He doesn’t know what kind of face he was making!!! (Spoilers, Prom, it was the kind of expression that made Iggy’s stomach fall to his feet), which could be literally anything. I don’t know Iggy’s tastes in photography that well b/c he never fucking comments on anything, the cryptic fucker.

So all of them just end up staring at the pictures the other ones picked and being like “................. uh. So.”
