i feel like i haven't seen anyone freaking out about this because what the hell is this horrifying arm-ribcage-spine thing? and why is it alive/making noises?

#you have to listen for the noises in the trailer #but its definitely there #actually now that im thinking about it #why are there so many hands scattered throughout the pale heart #ESPECIALLY witness/human hands #probably gonna make a post about everything that caught my eye #cause there's a lot #destiny 2 #destiny #destiny 2 spoilers #the final shape #the final shape spoilers #destiny 2 showcase

I'm dealing with my first genuinely very rude writer as a freelance editor, and it took me 5 days, but I'm finally able to process his comments as very, very funny instead of feeling angry about them. There's something petty and satisfying about a man being a total ass to you while also being completely wrong about the thing you're very good at, and you know you have the final say because the publisher also knows he's wrong and is also annoyed with him.

#am editing #he's quoting Strunk and White (not an official style guide and also outdated) at me to lecture me about commas #meanwhile he clearly doesnt realize i SAVED HIS ASS FROM DANGLING A MODIFIER #and tbc i do not care at all if writers understand what a modifier is or know what style guides to use #that's completely not their job #it's mine #what bothers me isn't that he's wrong; it's that he's very very snarky in a way i suspect is sexist #im going to ask the publisher to only share my initials with future authors because male PhDs specifically are often condescending to me #never quite to this level though #women professors also seem a lot more cognizant of my labor tbh #like every woman professor ive edited has put me in her acknowledgments/reached out privately to offer me a website testimonial #zero men have done this #actually now that im thinking about it #the difference is really striking #that's wild #wow #now im kinda mad again oops

not that we didn't already Know belos was full of shit, but it's even funnier knowing the titan was still alive the whole time and probably judging him

#toh #the owl house #emperor belos #papa titan #the titan #art #doodles #comic #fanart #watching and dreaming #captioned #brief visit to ye olde days of memeing on belos... those still get spread around #i hope the titan saw him get his shit stomped in before they passed on #like yes luz was right there but did the titan actually get to see it. i hope so #shoulda been broadcast on penstagram too #there's a piece of fanart i wanted to draw after. i think o titan where art thou. but i never got around to it #because it had animation in it. and im regretting it now #maybe i will finally do it. and something else too #the whole titan reveal brings with it a lot of tropes and ideas that absolutely destroy me personally #and i need to Draw about it #edit - thank you anistarrose for the caption!#''he wasn't Really alive'' you're right they were a secret third thing. the heart still beats. they were still Somewhere #but it's easier to just say Alive. it's not Technically wrong #i try to keep my captions short ok

I wonder if theres a way to check old/past urls cause I wanna know if theres any cringey painful ones I had that I DONT remember

#Italy-the-pasta-eater was my first ever fucking url #and then I know had tzredwoman for awhile #which was actually also my permenante steam name until they recently let me change it #and I think I had Ace-Knight-of-Hearts for a hot sec #actually now that Im thinking about it #maybe I should get back into Alice in the Country of Hearts #/Country of Clover #cause those non canon what if sorta side stories are very good and fun #I still own my copy of the country of hearts version #it was like a giant ass mash of most of the series #and I think I read the rest online at the time???#cause I didnt have money to get the ither #other phsycial copies*#rip mobile doesnt let you edit tags

losing my actual mind rn

i had this interaction in the dropout discord (i am the first and third person). short. simple. i only got the first year bc of a discount + a gift card i had, so i was planning on using this person's suggestion.

then, i got this.

oh my god!! how nice!! how sweet!!! how thoughtful!! i gave them my email and they sent over a subscription, i thanked them profusely. i was very grateful, very touched.

hours and hours later i was still thinking about it and i recalled how, in the email id gotten about it, it said "tao yang sent you a subscription" and id seen that and thought "oh haha like the tao yang" and then moved on

but now, thinking back, i was like.... theres no way, so i googled tao yang.

......

TAO YANG BOUGHT ME A FUCKING ANNUAL DROPOUT SUBSCRIPTION

#tao yang #dropout #dropout.tv #dimension 20 #AAAAAAAAAAA #losing my literal actual mind #i think hes so funny #i was already rly grateful and touched and now im just like flustered and starstruck #this is quite literally the most celebrity interaction ive ever had in my life #and i didnt even realize while it was happening #now i want to message him again but i feel like thatd be weird #sam responded to my question once and i still think about it now months latwr #bc THAT had been the most direct celebrity intersection id had #and this was like six levels above that #crazy world we live in #anyway. i have dropout again!!!! yippee!!!!

I can't imagine Socrates ever being a child. that mf was birthed by the universe, fully grown, buff and infinitely annoying

#philosophy #actually now that im thinking about it #hes kind of like those kids who keep asking questions #and its nice for a while you admire their childlike curiosity and wonder at the world #then it just gets extremely grating and you want to he able to say ANYTHING without this pest giving you an epistemological crisis #i take it back

yesterday while feverish i wrote about how boats can moor next to each other like pigeons, cooing with the gentle rap of water against their hull. you once said that that the way i see things - birds in the water, feathers in marina paint - was "childish and naive." you said i'd been misdiagnosed - "it can't all be adhd. you might be just kind of stupid and lazy."

i still do certain things like how you taught me - turn the pillow case inside out before putting it on. drive defensively. hate myself entirely.

the prompt for this poem is "mahler's fifth." i wish it wasn't, but mahler's fifth was our song. it ended up in my book. every person that knows your name has promised me they'll give you one swift rabbit punch, right to the face. dean read the book and showed up on my front porch, drenched in sweat from running the 8 miles at 4 in the morning. he was shaking. pacifist and gentle - he works with children - i'd never seen him furious. a punch isn't going to do it, he said, and then said i'm sorry. i had to come to see if you were okay.

mahler's fifth was mine first, like my girlhood. i like the way each movement piles onto the next movement, each instrument bleeding into the next. i like the horn version the best. before i met you, i danced to it on grass still-wet from sprinklers.

later you would tell me that the way you heard it was somehow better. you understood something in it that i couldn't quite wrap my fingers into. once, on our anniversary, you asked the classical music radio station to play it for us. we missed hearing it because we were fighting. one of the things people get wrong about abuse is that sometimes victims are, like, brutally aware of the stupidity of our situation. what do you mean that you thought i wasn't good enough for you? you? you're just... nothing.

sometimes people can pull the poetry out of your life. i watched my words become clothesline, and then thin out into kite twine. i watched you chew through every good syllable of me. so many good songs and places and moments were ruined. i am glad you didn't like most of my music - less to tie back to you.

but still mahler's fifth. the music swells, and i am 21 and throwing up in a bathroom on my birthday. a woman i will later refer to as lesbian jesus runs a cool hand down my back, her perfect pantsuit starch-pressed. she told me to leave you. she said - and this is true, and not an invention of rhyme or fantasy - i'm you from the future.

i am 22, and i got home from an award ceremony, and i remember you telling me - you act so proud of yourself when you're actually so fucking embarrassing. i took you to disney world. you took my virginity. i gave up visiting spain for a week with my family - i instead choose you, to spend the time just-cuddling. you called it "our fuck week." the music swells. it probably should have been a red flag that for about 3 years - i just gave up on crying. my grandfather died and you said nothing. my uncle died and you ghosted me for 3 weeks. you said i need to protect myself from your ongoing tragedy.

every so often i come back to the memory of one of our last afternoons in person. i had just told you that i wasn't going to law school, despite the free ride - i was going to join a creative writing program. master's in fine arts. i was going to finally do it - i was going to follow my dreams. this blog was already internet-famous. however reluctantly, i would occasionally refer to myself as a poet. i got into umass amherst's writing program for fiction authors. it is one of the the top 5 programs in the country.

wait are you seriously considering actually attending that? dumbfounded, you turned completely towards me in your seat. for the 3rd time in our relationship, you almost crashed the car. you actually want to be a writer?

the first time i went viral, it was for a poem i wrote about you:

he wants to say i love you but keeps it to goodnight because love will take some falling and she's afraid of heights.

every time i see that, i want to throw up. you weren't in love with me, you were in love with the control you had over me. a little truth though: i am afraid of heights. you caught a rabbitgirl and skinned her alive.

mahler's fifth still makes me sick.

give me that back. give me back music. give me back everything i had before you. give me back fearlessness. give me back bravery. give me back a scarless body.

give me back what you took from me.

#nosebleed club #sorry stephen not ur fault #just like. thinking #writeblr #spilled ink #warm up #every time nat is like - oh let me get that for u #im like .... this is a trick right like ur gonna be mean now bc u did something nice rn #so obviously if ur being nice now either u did something mean and im about to learn about it #or you're going to BE mean #or ur gonna hold this over my head forever and i'll never get a nice thing ever again?#and every time nat is like .... babe i just actually like u #lesbian jesus story is 100% real btw. she also told me not to be an event planner #literally changed the shape of my life

you ever think about how fucked up it is that shen qingqiu's first mission out of sect was him subduing the skinner, a demon who targeted and replaced people no one would really miss?

very fun how the skinner ended up getting killed and destroyed by someone else who took the place of a person no one really missed

#i think about it a lot #fucks me up #like. shen jiu is a prick and was miserable to be around but it really is fucked up that the only person who missed him is yue qingyuan #and all of the other peak lords were like “well it's weird but he's actually better to be around now”#(no shade to the other peak lords. i love those guys and they did run a bunch of secret tests to try and make sure it was their shixiong)#(not their fault that system let sy cheat)#like. that fucks me up a lot.#pip speaks #svsss #btw im not saying that shen yuan or the skinner are equivalent in any way. intent and what you actually do with your life matters #but it is an interesting parallel

as someone who has obviously done extensive research on the topic i would like to present to you all...dyketennant's "which david tennant character are you" uquiz

#it's almost 3am now and i started this at around 10-11pm i think so if this sucks. im sorry #also before you say 'what about x character' listen there's only so many i can add you guys #12 was the easiest number for me to work with i had to make some choices #yes i was influenced by my own bias that's inevitable #toyed with the idea of adding kilgrave but could not stomach the guilt of anyone actually getting him as their result #david tennant #good omens #doctor who #blackpool #takin over the asylum #bbc staged #around the world in 80 days #hamlet 2009 #fright night 2011 #broadchurch #la without a map #queues to watch out for
