! congrats on your new problem!!

gentle tentacle touch of solidarity in suffering

thank you and sending you all so much love.

sending with flanged-open heart

there is a moment in foundation where ben daniels turns his head and baleful eye exactly like the black leather king of the azhdarchids and i can't get it out of my mind. same re every move lee pace makes, that naked fight was the best naked fight ever filmed and he knew it. ty universe for these 2

wishing for you a stopgap of any sort

it's a eva-transformer mech but the world is only acknowledging a volkswagen beetle

and more people need to know that it shifts in harmony w the canal, and that its nerve response can read so differently depending on what stage of tootsie wonka neurotransmitter lollipop we're at. then there's individual pref.

i Hate how much sex advice is predicated on a non-aroused receptive body

it's important to be able to treat ourselves in a ceremonial manner, to acknowledge the little kid grabby hands in our heart

i actually love being wrong, or to better frame it, expanding to be able to contain something that might have poisoned me in the past. it's just a gift that was waiting for the right moment to be unwrapped, and a reminder i am not a fixed thing and can heal

or that it's ok to keep wielding swords from my mind

wasn't expecting so much early tanith lee vibes either

as i come from the nies, i come from the starks. not like them, but of them. i have not seen my family in person in 7 years because i am too ill to travel. several of the elder generation have passed from this world in that time. i wasn't expecting some sword and sorcery to make me feel home

this was the winter that made me watch game of thrones after making hating it my personality for 15 years. and i won. the crap was still crap but the good stuff was actually pretty good goddamn it how did i not know it was LoA all along

the man is an angel on earth

besides a place where mochi lives, it's importantly a place where lots of muscle has to be to get us around! a site of great power and magic. many congratulations on more of it

thank you for the thing o distant but never distant friend <3

oh no nie huaisang is tiny desk mrs lovett as sweeney todd (it was a very musical winter, at times)

definitely a weird one. i think it was old enough that the ones next to it had exploded; maybe i will get some magic powers. or my brain will begin to host a scoby.

i hope your own state contains joy and contentment enough to ride out our next wave of whatever this is <3

ae who has been at the cloud recesses for more than two years and can now get tipsy just looking at a caravaggio may be kombucha drunk

I've often said that social media needs 2 things to thrive.

1. NO tolerance of Nazis and their ilk.

2. Full allowance of Porn and other forms of erotica.

Have those two things and you're on your way to success.

a lot of people (YOU! even) need to get on board with 'this is gross to me, but should not be illegal.' like, very vocally. to people who are pearl clutching about The Children. especially if you're like... a normie non-creator

In Chinese folk culture, when two trees grow together, their branches entwining as one, they are called Lianli Trees (连理树)—symbols of eternal love and unbreakable bond. Also known as Xiangsi Trees (相思树), "couple trees," or "life-and-death trees," they represent not only romantic devotion 1/2

sigh i SUPPOSE nie huaisang can have the fan case filled with eyeshadow and rouge 'ink sticks'

*screams in jgy being very fancy and wearing the most arc-relevant diegetic cosmetics in CQL* (i'd say the most noticeable but holy moly jzx that perfect puffy princess face powder)

the first cicadas of the year. i know there are several xiyao months all told, but the birdsong and butterflies, lightning bugs and lightly sticky thighs; a lazy song saturated june/july
