another thing I love about aubrey-maturin is how convinced they both are (but especially Jack) that together they cover the whole sum of human knowledge. he’s always thinking, “well, I don’t know that, so Stephen will.” conversely the things he does know, Stephen doesn’t. Like the meme:

there's been a meme floating around Heathen circles lately, noting that if the first man and woman were carved from ash and elm, then there are as many genders as there are species of trees - that humanity is a forest

i've been working on some trans-positive designs but this concept really lodged in my heart, so i created a line of gender-affirming pieces that can be easily enjoyed by both cis and trans Heathens

these will be going off for the sticker treatment later tonight, but they might be getting added to the t-shirt docket for spring!

The upside of having a broken heart is that I’m not eating enough calories because why bother, and half-assed attempting to exercise because if I’m gonna die alone at least my arms will be jacked and my booty will be on point.

The potato worked! The people I’m buying my house from were stuck and going to back out of the sale bc their new house purchase almost fell through— but they got it and now I get my house! That’s what you might call a “two-fer!”

Me and Stephen running like hell from the maths.

'Now one more cup of coffee and I must attend to my calculus, nearly always a difficult subject.'

'So you have suddenly taken to the calculus?' cried Jack. 'How very glad I am - amazed - quite stunned. By just calculus I take it you mean the differential rather than the infinitesimal? If I can be of any help...'

'You are very good, my dear,' said Stephen, putting down his cup and rising, 'but I mean the vesical calculus, no more: what is commonly known as a stone in the bladder, the utmost reach of my mathematics. I must be away.'

'Oh,' said Jack, feeling oddly dashed.

Intimacy is not just about sex. It's having heart-to-hearts, staying up all night talking, sharing childhood memories, thoughts, fears, dreams & hopes for the future. It's uncontrollable laughter, direct eye contact and feeling each other without touching - it's exchanging energy

#love #intimacy #green flags

[littlewoodenworld]

The unresolved sexual tension between two people expressed as slightly prolonged eye contact and accidentally-on-purpose hand touching is everything.
