#an explanation

Care to explain this?

Absolutely. They are what we call pictures. In this case, images taken from a longer set of moving pictures we call an animated film. This series of animated films is called Arthur.

In the original version, the frames are projected many times a second, and due to a phenomena known as the persistence of vision, appear to us to be moving.

Any questions?

hi!

I want to thank everyone who reached out with their love yesterday. I wanted to update you guys on what’s going on. I would like to share a TW because I am gonna talk about death and overdoses. if you cannot read, just know I love you and appreciate you and I hope you have a wonderful day. I will still be active on here when I can!

yesterday morning, my aunt was found dead in her house. the police say it may have been a fentanyl overdose. my family is shattered. we knew she had some problems with pain pills because she was in a very bad accident a couple years ago that almost left her dead. it doesn’t soften the blow at all, of course, but it does give more perspective of her situation.

she loved her family. she deserved better.

if y’all didn’t know this about me, i’m from north carolina (technically pennsylvania but I moved away when I was 15). my dads side is all from mississippi, which is where my aunt resided. I would love to just fly there to be with my family but my dad is a control freak and wants to just drive. what this means? I get to be in a car for 12/13 hours!! yay (not)!!

I will be lurking on here, of course. you all really put my mind at ease and make me so fucking happy. the community here is beyond supportive and loving. you guys always keep my mind off the bad shit in my life. so I will be around! and since I have a whole day in the car ahead of me, maybe i’ll write! who knows 😂

if you’ve read this far, thank you for listening. I can’t thank you guys enough for all the love I got yesterday. hold your loved ones close. if you know anyone struggling with addiction, please stick by them and offer as much support as you can, even if it’s at a distance.

if you guys ever need someone to talk to, i’m here. my inbox is always open!

xoxo

An apology.

I just wanted to make a small little announcement; I would like to apologize for my lack of activity here, I know I owe some responses and I apologize for making people wait... About a week ago I have endured a horrible tragedy, my cat of fifteen years had passed away, so I was struggling with the loss of my best friend, whom I have raised since the day she was born. I'm still reeling from the loss and grief, my heart aches for her and I miss her terribly. But with that being said, I will definitely try to get back into the swing of things here very soon. I just ask for your patience, that is all and thank you for taking the time to read this. Reaper's mun.

Hey...

Long time no post; again. I have to be honest I've been in a major block when it comes to writing. Despite not posting at all about it, I did watch season 6 as an avid watcher as I have been for 8 years now. And I loved it. I was so glad to see Rick's development in trying to better himself, only to fall back as many of us do. Watched the finale so excited for the next installment for the hunt for his number one nemesis, with Morty by his side.

That was all of course, until the horrible details came to light about Justin Roiland. I was horrified and disgusted to learn that this person that helped create this show that I've come to love, who created and voiced this character I've written fics of, dedicated this entire blog, and have gotten to know so many people from, would do these things. I have to be honest, I haven't watched an episode at all ever since. I just watched the trailer for season 7, and I want to be so excited but right now, I'm starting to think that I'll never be able to enjoy the show the same again. So... I'm sure it's a bummer to hear that, but I can't force myself to feel a certain way when it's not genuine. I'm gonna watch season 7 but as I'm typing this, my excitement is not where it has been before all this. I'm sorry.

they should invent a new type of "staying in bed for 2-3 hours after you wake up repeatedly opening and closing apps on your phone" where it makes you feel awesome and energized and emotionally fulfilled

#buny text #I'm fine i've just been staying up too late playing bg3 the past few nights #and then wanting to wake up before noon so my parents don't say anything rude to me so i end up getting less sleep to facilitate that #and it's catching up to me #i feel like this explanation maybe undermines my previous statement of 'I'm fine' a bit but I'm fine i promise #look at my lop posts boy

Love the random censorship in Victorian novels. Mr. ------- came down from -----shire in the summer of 18--. Who? Where? When? Wouldn't you like to know, book boy

Feel free to share which is your favorite NOW in the tags, but this particular poll is about which you preferred as a child! ⭐ These are being grouped by a vague theme, so in a few days we'll do another one with more options!

Also, same rule as the last poll: REALLY popular choices (ATLA, SpongeBob, Scooby Doo, Pokemon, etc.) are overwhelmingly popular and have been omitted for the sake of seeing the results for other shows.

Notes: These are shows involving live action characters, no cartoons this time! The timeframe for these polls is generally "I was a kid in the mid-to-late 90s or early 2000s." Mister Roger's Neighborhood and Sesame Street are both multi-generational so they were not included to be fair to the show's with shorter runs 💖

#bear in the big blue house is going to sweep this isn't it? I don't consider it to be a titan though (like Scooby Doo/Spongebob/etc) #just very beloved so I included it <3 #also the explanations on these things keep getting longer because of all the ''where is _____'' comments sdfghjkl #polls #talking #nostalgia #nostalgic

Smtimes your house is haunted because there's a ghost sometimes your house is haunted because you miss grandma and your mom misses her even more sometimes your house is haunted because the subtext of how the last owners decorated rubs you wrong way sometimes your house is haunted because you've sublimated the fact that you didn't want to move in the first place and Sometimes your house is haunted because there's a carbon monoxide leak. Lots of options.

#'haunted' is an explanation in the same way that 'pain' is a diagnosis

i keep seeing people talk about dan and phil who are they???

#muse talk #phantoids #JOKE i just remembered this pic exists and feel the need to abuse it #i’ll rb with an actual explanation one sec

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

going through my old journals as part of therapy homework and i'm reading a section written in the emotional wreckage of a full-on breakdown when i get hit with this line:

There is never a satisfying answer to ‘Why didn’t they love me?’

like wow babe. good fucking point

#like you were on the ground biting the carpet and dry sobbing while you wrote that and still. good fucking point #not a shitpost #cptsd #and it's true. there's never a satisfying answer #the truth is i know why i wasn't loved #i analyzed my parent's traumas and abuse to death. i understand why i alienated and was alienated from my siblings #i know why my mom was too overwhelmed to be capable of nurturing #i know why my dad vanished into addiction and avoidance #the details of our cycles of trauma and cptsd and family history i have a phd in all of it #i understood perfectly. i spent years studying and now i knew the answer #and guess what? IT WAS NOT SATISFYING!!! #because they still didn't love me! and i still couldn't change that! #it was still a completely unsatisfying state of affairs! #so like. when the people who are supposed to love you...don't. #when the people who are supposed to take care of you...fail to #you can look for answers and reasons and explanations #but that's not actually going to FIX your situation. #and it's probably not within your ability TO fix the situation. (and definitely not your job) #because you don't need answers--you need a new situation #*inserts Just Walk Out. You Can Leave!!! (Running Skeleton) Meme* #and yes. walking out isn't always possible. #but for you i hope it will be one day soon. and i hope you build the courage to take that leap. #stepping away from the people who failed to love you...it feels like being untethered but also like being lighter than air #new and scary. immensely relieving. the future opens up. empty but empty like a canvas. blindingly bright until your eyes adjust #like climbing out of a pit you called home and for the first time realizing how bright the light of day can truly be #when you aren't just getting glimpses from the bottom of a hole
