hey its me from the "wheres the adopt a jock update, im dying" thing. im so sorry for it. i had know idea there even was a storm and it is 100% not ur job to keep us updated bc ur doing us favour by uploading content, im sorry i took that for granted.

im also sorry this apology came late, i felt to chicken to write one innitially, i dont know if i did end up sending u one, but ur reaction to my ask came up in my feed again and i really wanted to apologise once more.

I'm so sorry for those you lost in this horrid storm and I'm so proud of u for pushing through, everyone is and I hope u know that.

I know this apology doesn't make up for anything but I just wanted u to know that I took in what u responded, u were well in ur right to be pissed off, and I now know for future to type my messages in a kinder way so they don't get taken as a ride remark, I hope u know I didn't type what I said to be rude, not that it matters in anyway.

we're all looking out for u and wish u all the best, have a great day

It's all good fam--I honestly had a few of these messages between here and A03, some a lot ruder that yours, and yours just happened to be the first one I saw when I managed to get a few hours with proper access to Tumblr (Ie not on the craptastic app on my phone, which refuses to let me answer asks and crashes when I try lol.)

Thank you for apologizing, it does mean a lot, and it takes a lot of courage to do it.

It's a weird lesson to learn sometimes, that people who don't know you as well won't always know you're joking/your sense of humor, or may not mentally be in a space to fully comprehend it as a light prod instead of a "hey dude where's my content."

I think it's also a good reminder that fandom is a community first. I know there's a lot of discussion centered around how we're sliding into a more content mill like vibe vs that community, and that a lot of us are getting impacted by it a bit--I'll be the first to say I was more touchy even before the trees because I've had a lot more weird, demanding comments lately than I ever used to get. Not just in ST either--I'm seeing it on my older fics, in fandoms that are significantly smaller and typically very drama-less. While my policy normally is to delete and ignore, sometimes it builds (and then two trees almost kill you by collapsing your house and you start biting heads off after being stuck in a hotel with your family for two weeks.)

Anyway, thank you sincerely, for apologizing. It did not go unnoticed <3

#if I ever had to guess who would get fifteen seconds of fame in my family #“my house” wasn't even on my mind and yet here we are #damn things been featured in so many fucking news articles/videos #they did finally condemn it though' #like that was ever in fucking question #I will also say I am much saner living in my own space again and not in a loud ass hotel ontop of my entire family #while trying to work out of my phone #I had to export excel spreadsheets off that bitch #I also JUST got my computer back which is why Im responding to everyone now #I had to purchase a lot of shit like you know #wires #and speakers #and a keyboard lmao #but thankfully my tower itself is fine #god I attended a fucking teams meeting on my phone woof #anyway #ty

Hot girl summer

#this was an excellent purchase #owen and kiwi are mildly pissed while oliver is summoning the spell for head explode #my pets

[vogelmeister]

maybe i should start doing video essays.

#i think i have a lot to discuss actually? #like are native language songs actually finding more success in eurovision these days? are they doing better than before. #are american fans more entitled than other fans when it comes to concert ticket purchasing #just americanisation in general. #i could talk widm theories. i mean someone already does that in english but like different perspectives #i would be excellent on english speaking dutch youtube.

[zmaragdos]

ook ok ok

so

i spent the better part of 3 hours of my life trying to figure out what this means

[Start ID: 14 F EN dies . vitios . ex . s . c End ID]

because Frazer lists the date like this, but does not elaborate on what it means anywhere in the Loeb, or in his expanded commentary from 1929 (nor does Ovid talk about the 14 January/XIX Kal Feb in the Fasti). on top of that "vitios" is not a word in latin (it looks like it should be, but "vitius" does not exist). as it turns out, it's an abbreviation for the adjective "vitiosus" (i.e. faulty, defective, corrupt), which Augustus used to mark January 14 which is, for those not in the know, like me until a few hours ago, MARK FUCKING ANTONY'S BIRTHDAY. (i only found this out when i read an uncited section in the wikipedia article for the julian calendar which stated that Mark Antony changed his birthday after the julian calendar reforms from a.d. XVII Kal. Feb to a.d. XIX Kal. Feb [i.e. he kept it on the same date, which we would render as Jan 14] BUT it turns out this is actually generally accepted as true, and this weird "dies vitios" abbreviation is actually seen in extant Fasti calendars, such as the Fasti Verulani in Veroli, Italy).

thus: Augustus made celebrating Mark Antony's birthday illegal, and codified it in the calendars to boot. 10/10 petty king behavior.

below: Fasti Verulani, zoomed in on 5 lines from its January column

image source

the first full line says: [F xi]x EN d vitiosus ex . s . c . anT . naTal

(i still can't figure out what the ex . s . c . is about, because there are so so so many possibilies for those epigraphic abbrviations, and, as that is unfortunatly not my wheelhouse, I'm unsure of their meaning)

#ovid #fasti #frazer #fasti verulani #mark antony #augustus #tagamemnon #i love the fasti but god do i hate frazer's commentary for for it #he doesn't include shit i want to know about #like the excellent augustan pettiness literally evident in julian/post republican calendars #but he finds plenty of space to talk about completely irrelevant comparative anthropology #(which tbf he is wont to do thruout and i know and expect but GOD does it get old) #i wish i had the funds to purchase steven green's fasti i commentary but it is unfortunatly over us$150 even used.....

[qserasera]

these are the Coziest sweatpants i have ever worn in living memory

#an excellent treat purchase!!! they're a nice kind of plum color too but not obnoxiously bright #qserasera storytime #bad news is...i feel like sleeping a lot more but wahhhhhhh

[esleep]

just remembered i made another batch of daal soup yesterday so i get to have some for lunch today >:)

#this immersion blender was the best purchase i've ever made. it's unlocked the world of soups for me #which was previously closed because of texture issues. but if it's a puréed soup i'm fine. #and i love love LOVE beverages and liquids. i will drink something even if i don't feel like eating so soup is an excellent cheat for days #when i can't handle eating (which is happening more and more lately). definitely better and overall healthier than shakes. #if anyone wants me to drop the recipe i use lmk because it's a good one.

Hey friends! Only a few hours left to take advantage of this one but uh, if you happen to see this in time it's a pretty sweet deal for the full cast audiobook, if you haven't bought from Chirp before (and if you have, it's still only $6).

#good omens #curse my leaving this purchase until the last minute or I would have gotten this out sooner #can only listen to it on the Chirp app or via their website but still excellent #edit: oh my mistake it's actually good THROUGH the 13th. so a few hours more than I thought!

[anti-dazai-blog]

I remember that when chapter 101 came out I crossed out the Dazai pin that I had with an X lol

Oh yeah a lot of people were destroying Dazai merch after that, right? (Kinda seems like a waste of money to me, but if you’re having fun with it then it’s worth it)

#OH like my pfp! #If it’s Dazai crossed out then it looks like my pfp right? #That’s so cool actually #Ok ok if that’s what this ask means that’s actually really cool #Anti-Dazai Asks #Oh and no offense regarding ‘it seems like a waste of money’ #It’s a personal pet peeve I guess #When people buy things just to destroy them #BUT I also believe that a purchase that makes you happy is never a waste #So if it made you happy? Excellent! Great! You do you #enjoy yourself friend!

How is Anaïs doing?

Stepping all over me, just as her father is wont to do.

#whenever she gives me those eyes I cave and immediately buy her whatever she wants #last year I bought a nerf blaster for her #it's still taller than her #I have been yelled at by Ves on multiple occasions for littering the house with my purchases #but in my defense she is now excellent at handling siege equipment
