#I am a hot mess

[markscherz]

You are everything I aspire to be

If parenting has taught me anything, it is the importance of getting down on your hands and knees and teaching not just facts, but love and enthusiasm for the natural world.

This is my son Q and me. I have dozens of photos like this by now, even though he is just two years old.

Every chance I get, I will kneel down with him and show him the little creatures all around us. Especially when they are frogs. He loves frogs for some reason. No idea why.

It is important that we all see this together. It is beautiful. It is magnificent. We are here. It is improbable to the highest degree. It is fleeting, but it is everything we get. And we can get so, so much of it. If we just get our faces into it and really absorb it.

So that's what l'm trying to do here, I guess. Get all of you to join me in the reeds. And I am so happy to have so many of you along for the journey.

#tumblr #lifestyle #advice #life #nature #animals #answers by mark #anon #anonymous #yes the tumblr scientist named his child Q what of it #also you should not aspire to be me #or like me #at all #I am a hot mess #totally chaotic and extremely stressed #months behind on my emails #and badly overcommitted #but of course when all you see are cute frogs I understand why you would feel that way anon #just letting you know that I am struggling just as much as the next person #though of course as a very privileged person it is substantially different than most #my troubles are largely of my own making #anyway thanks for coming to my TED talk

Also, I apologise for the person I might become when I have a laptop again. I have been rotating another OC in my mind purely because of watching Emerald City / thinking about the actor in Hill House/Bly Manor and realising that Oliver Jackson Cohen is tall big giant big hairy very man big.

Alexander, Giant of Babil, with themes of the summon Alexander and his role in FFIV. Paladin type of character whose a hero and a villain depending on who tells the tale.

#out of flowers #I am a hot mess #and yet this thought has remained with me #there's a chance I cave into this hyperfixation and do something about it #though I so look forward to being able to write again in general because I miss the comfort of it

I mean the entire thing was perfection but Walt gazing sadly at the watch has fucking ruined me. I am melting down. I am a pile of ashes. Peter Gould I am in your backyard tapping on your windows. I just want to talk.

Ngl, sometimes I still think about the time I accidentally shared a snippet with the name of a character who was supposedly dead, but was able to save myself by reminding my readers that I have a bad habit of giving multiple characters the same name. A few weeks later, I told 'em that I'd changed the name of the second character to someone I was about to introduce, and NO ONE caught on.

#I am a hot mess #But I can think on my feet #My characters come back to life way too often tho #They hated me so much when the plot twist actually happened.

TFW you've been comparmentalizing trauma for so long you don't so much have baggage as you do a whole cargo bay:

#i know i know #vague posting is annoying #but listen #it's a lot #and I'm walking through and trying to sort it #but it's all zip-tied together #with varying thicknesses and colors of plastic #and labelled completely unhelpfully with “baggage” #i am a hot mess #and still trying to just push through #at this point I'm chucking untied trashbags in before slamming the door like an overfull closet from a 90s teenager's bedroom in a sitcom #i need the marie kondo equivalent of a therapist #does that exist?

Inwardly a cottagecore queen, outwardly a goblin of chaos

Playing football at work in this heat was a mistake. But was good fun, and made me really realise how out of shape I'm in 😫

#p #i am a hot mess #and not in the good way

Just got back from the hospital and I can be back on my dumb bitch hours, babey.

#had a strep infection so bad my throat and nose passageways closed up #they had to give me a steroid shot and lidocaine to open everything back up so i could breathe #i still cant talk and i can barely eat #even water and applesauce is so hard to keep down #i got about 2 hours of sleep over the last 2 days #i am a hot mess #minus the hot and twice the mess #personal #vent #hospital

[lilacpeachychu]

me: wait a minute maya wtf is wrong with you, don’t you remember you literally only had this position for two days, technically one bc first day was just training and you literally didn’t come back for weeks bc of winter break why the hell are you stressing yourself out to this point you dumb bitch.

me: oh yeah………

#maya talks #i am a hot mess #i now try and sleep

saw a take so fucking rancid on twitter i almost deleted the entire app from my phone jesus fucking christ

first of all ao3 is an archive site. this is like going to the library and saying "oh i dont like this" on every piece of media you find that you dislike and thinking they should be stamped with some sort of a marker just cause you didnt like it

you can always click back and leave. fic writers owe you nothing to explain themselves and their creations. if they have mistagged or miscategorized fics, then i understand, however there are report tools for that instead of yelling at the artist tbh

im not saying free works arent necessarily above criticism. but this is just. fucking wild. its common courtesy to just enjoy stuff (or fucking leave if you dont, the back button is free) and if the artist specifically asks for critiques, then give one - constructive that is, shitting all over someones work is not proper criticism, mind you

i just find it fucking wild people are treating art and archive sites as social media these days like this and everything needs to be policed and ~catered to the algorithm~ like. no. ao3 doesnt have an algorithm. you should be able to fucking tell what you like and what you dont like and steer away from that kind of content and let people fucking be with their art. they dont owe you anything (except trigger warnings i'd argue, but i know some people disagree with that as well for some reason), and imagine how much more energy you'd have if you only engaged with things you liked and spent time looking at instead of going to places where you dont enjoy yourself. let alone spending time telling other people you dont enjoy what they enjoy. what a fucking life

#like what the fuck #where is the common courtesy of fandoms these days im just fucking asking. its ridiculous #the back button is free. shutting your fucking mouth is free. constructive criticism when people ask for it is nice but only then #these are fucking basic level fandom engagement things #am i old or are people just this fucking awful now that these guidelines dont exist anymore #im just. ough #sorry i had to get this out. idk as someone who has never left unsolicited advice for anyone and never gotten it back it just #it fucking grinds me that people are like this now. like fucking wow #ive been here for almost two decades soon and i still know how to behave. yall better fucking learn #im gonna go back to video game sorry i really needed to yell for a hot fucking second #if you choose to reblog this dont fucking clown on it okay. god #night is an absolute mess on main

I’m doing a little bit of research into “Israeli fashion” because of a article that came across my dash about a Israeli fashion designer (who was wearing a Palestinian Bethlehem Thobe Malak but labeled it as ‘Israeli dress’) and it is quickly becoming a “take a shot every time ‘Oriental’ is said” challenge

#it is a hot mess and I am taking notes - will compile later lmao

[yo-whaddup]

we need more fucking insane lesbians in media. give me mentally ill, drug addicted batshit crazy lesbians. give me rue bennett. give me lenny buster.

me: i live for fanfic comments. they are all that sustains me. they are my life's very blood.

also me: [the actual worst person on earth at replying to said cherished comments in a timely fashion, rolling up into people's ao3 inboxes like five months to two years after the fact to say thanks for reading]

#god i need to get my ao3 life together!!!!!!!!!!! #dollsome's deep thoughts #just know that i am obsessed with your comment even if i never reply to it; that's just my incurable hot mess brain acting up
