The Paper Shredder

Not long ago, in our community’s FB group, a neighbor sent out a plea for help. She needed a paper shredder to rid herself of all those old financial records, letters, and documents. She was done with the build-up of paper overload. In a matter of minutes, neighbors were quick to provide her with theirs. Truthfully, I need that paper shredder, too. But more than the paper shredder, I need to get…

in the course of thinking about all the discussion about the gods and the concept of "well, the gods never answered my prayers" and especially upon thinking about Ashton saying that they HAVE prayed to the gods only to get no answer and that some rocks had a better response, like...

it's occurred to me that many (within the fandom, within the narrative) maybe do not really and fully grasp that there is a difference, and a massive one, between prayer and saying words in a divinity's or similar's direction

there is a sort of focused process to meaningful prayer in which one is to reflect on their intention, what they're trying to achieve or express in this moment of communion, and then make a focused and intentional articulation of that, followed by meditating on that (if you are praying to a deity as part of a petition or prayer of supplication, this is the listening portion, because you aren't supposed to just talk and then hang up). the form of prayer changes per religious tradition, ritual structure, intent of the prayer, setting, etc. but the core idea is that it involves intent, focus, and reflection.

actual and meaningful prayer—not just saying words or making a haphazard request of a god—is a focused, reflective, intentional process that asks you do to a lot of work actually. and, it is often found to be not fulfilling if one does not undertake that work.

#like when Ashton got a response from the rocks that was fully engaging in a prayer or prayer-like or meditative process! #when they were like 'I'm listening; that's more than the gods did' bc I'm like... were? you NOT listening when you tried to pray before? #for the record: I love Ashton's entire thing about that this past episode and this is NOT a tsk-tsk they are bad and wrong #I think their feelings are delightful. I also think they completely misunderstand what prayer and religious worship is #and I think that's really interesting and fabulous of them and I think their feelings are INCREDIBLY valid and should keep going #CR spoilers #Critical Role things

My translyrics for Salamander, written out under the cut :D

This one was much more difficult than the last, but I'm still very satisfied with it! 😤 I'm both sad that my version lost a lot of the fun soundplay of the original, and also waaay more impressed with the lyrics and vocals after digging it like this! I tried to keep it balanced between the original and Fuuta's version, though maybe it ended up leaning more toward the cover, idk. Leaving my specific notes in the tags 👍

Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?

"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.

It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.

I want a taste, but all this spice may prove more than I can take, (eh?)

Something's on your mind. So spit it out and tell me, don't waste my time, kay?

I'm hooked on this, pass me a dish.

The way I'm starving here without you -- it's a crime

A spicy treat, put on repeat,

Can I get seconds with the same heat? One more time!

Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?

"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.

It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.

I can't stop anything, although I wouldn't want to stop, oh no --

Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.

I want a bite, I can't help giving in to this new appetite.

Again, again, I want to be on fire when I get to the end.

We live too fast, we burn to ash,

I never handled spices well and it's a crime.

A spicy treat, put on repeat,

Can I get seconds with the same heat? One more time!

I want to burn bright red

I want to burn bright red

Salamander~ Hot's nice, don't you agree? This pa- passion's fine, see?

"But" isn't what I wanna hear, so say "more" loud and clear.

Tell me I'm not alone in my mind!

Salamander~ Look what's happened to me. This pa- passion's crazy

Tell me I'm not delirious, I'm being serious.

It's heating up all through my mind when I'm with you.

I can't stop anything, although I wouldn't want to stop, oh no --

Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.

I want to leave I want to go, but I can never stop, oh no --

Take a breath, it's best to cool down or you earn yourself a burn.

#milgram #fuuta kajiyama #deco*27 #this time i can confidently say this is my fav milgram song lmao #literally the hardest line of the whole song was the very first one #still not 100% satisfied but compared to my dozens of draft lines its pretty good #i really wanted the 'po's to be within a word like the original and went digging through so many words with the sound in the middle LMAO #i wanted something focused more on heat/spice but alas it had to be passion -_- #there was very little space to get across the idea of 'its not a big deal right?' so i hope 'fine' conveys what i want it to hmm... #forever missing the sound of 'ripiccha itai/ piriccha itai' but the treat/repeat lines still worked out well! #so mad english doesnt have a nice onomatopoeia like 'fuu' :( #i needed to keep the long u to finish of the first stanza the long o in a few lines -- i absolutely love how arthur lounsbery sings those #my ace ass appreciates his commitment to singing such a steamy song so harsh and turning the seductive whispers into angry grumbling 😂 #me too man #the struggle of trying to write fun food lines and going 'oh NO that sounds even dirtier now' 😭😭😭 #i actually did record myself singing and i knew it was gonna be bad but it was Really Awful adsfdsfd so sorry #just take my word for it!!! it all works perfectly!!! #(once again if anyone wants to cover it hmu hehe :3) #oops spelled delirious wrong in my chart shhhhhh #lyrics

[parkitaco]

i had to go look up what you're talking about lmao but like the anon was obviously a mean spirited asshole but you straight up asked people to tell you their opinion on your steve voice....

yk what anon i see where ur coming from but i also said be nice. and that's a real fucking easy thing to do. so you can fuck off too <3

#i would have accepted constructive criticism if it had been said in a nice way i rly would have #bc as you said i did say lmk how i did #However. #the tone and content of the comment were unnecessary and rude and them keeping their identity anonymous tells me they probs knew that #and i bet you do too! #and i'm just going to say this once in the tags For the Record: #i'm in general a pretty thick skinned person and the comment didn't shatter my self esteem or anything like that. i Like my steve pov thx #i'm just pissed off! #but if i was a new writer or even just someone who took things like that to heart a little more #this could have absolutely killed any writing motivation i had and made me want to quit. #and That is not constructive criticism. it's just straight up mean #so yeah i did allow room for opinions. but i don't think i invited abuse #and i'm not going to sit here and act like i did something wrong #peace and love on planet earth <3

NaNo 2023 - Just shy of 2500 words!

"You're late!" Beryl said to Rich as he walked into the drawing room the next morning.

"Please don't shout." He dropped into the closest chair and accepted the cup of tea sat at his elbow a moment later.

"You stayed out drinking all night with your friends again?" She scolded.

"I did. And then came here afterward, of course." He sipped the tea. "I'm going to go to bed and sleep until the ball." He looked up at a comotion at the door. There was a familiar-looking woman just a little older than him. In his foggy brain, he remembered who she was. "Victoria Osborne?" She looked at him a moment and then smiled.

"Little Dickie!" He groaned.

"Sir Richard, if you please." He stood, rubbing his head. "I will see you both this evening." He walked out of the room, but turned slightly as he walked past Victoria to examine her figure.

Beryl cleared her throat, she noticed it seems.

Thinking abt spiraling upwards side characters again. Charredpelt my absolute beloved

#rat rambles #spiraling upwards #warriors posting #girlies who are trying so soooo hard to support womens wrongs but the wrongs are that their wife is cheating on them #and now she cant even get closure cause said wife is dead along with the man she cheated on her for #like charredpelt isnt stupid she knows these cats too well but thats exactly why she keeps to this day justifying them to herself #all while living as the sole parent to their children #the worst part is that if she had just been properly talked to abt it first she probably would have been ok with it #but she wasnt. she didnt even get the choice to set up boundaries #for the record shes my favorite cragclan cat and has been since she came out as trans lol #shout out to daisystar tho my boy is so cute and also so messed up <3 #and egretpaw and furzepaw ofc get honerable mentions but theyre main characters so ofc I've thought a lot abt them #but yeah for cragclan I deliberately chose out cats I hoped would kill eachother and instead they just got into a bunch of love traingles #and then I made eagle clan with the same goal with a bloodthirsty deputy but then conestar just loved everyone and was loved by everyone #hell the one cat who disliked her at first is her wife now girlie is just sitting here loving her wife and family #I honestly couldn't tell you who my favorites in any other clan is tbh #I do adore most of elmclan but I cant say theres anyone I like that much more than everyone else #like honeystar is definitely the one who caught my attention first due to her hashtag trauma playing out in real time right away #but also thistlepeak and whimsygoose are sooooo silly I love them quiet kitty and their loud rude kitty husband #oh and also pumpkin shes not that deep of a character I just think shes cute #for eagleclan I cannot lie to you I barely remember anyone in there atm but I do love conestar shes so silly #and minkclan is another hard one caus they're the first one I made so I have a lot of love for basically all of them #but blazebelly was my og favorite shes like charredpelt but instead of having a wife cheating on her it never got past a one sided crush #and lightnip is also a current fave of mine shes so mean I love her #ratstar has always been one of my favorites of all the clans tho shes just so silly and incompetent #and shout out to nightfur for being the only cat I've ever seen generate with romantic feelings towards a cat #it was for my default dead cat raincinder who is also a shitty asshole but that just means nightfur is tragic now <3 #oh yeah I should probably provide more exicit context on the clangen stuff huh #basically I made the four main clans in clangen and used the gameplay as a skeleton for backstory and worlduilding #building off of premade characters and concepts has always been one of my favorite things (as seen by how many randomized aus Ive done)

“In fact some would say it’s something quite beautiful...”

2 weeks ago Andrew Barth Feldman said on Alex Boniello’s twitch that he heard there was a “funny choreography change” in sincerely me that Gaten came up with, and after watching that one recording I am going to assume it’s when Jared puts his hand on Evan’s cheek. Which I agree is very funny. 

#dear evan hansen #evan hansen #jared kleinman #kleinsen #zachary noah piser #gaten matazarro #my art #there are so many ways to deliver this line and I'm gonna talk about it for a second #like will's jared often sounded really defensive and genuinely passionate about this #the line used to be 'in fact some would say there's something quite beautiful about-' and evan would have to cut him off #implying that he was just gonna keep ranting #like jared why do you have so much to say about the love one man feels for another #then sometimes the actor would act more amused like they were making fun of evan/teasing him #I think there are a few recordings I've seen where jared goldsmith says 'beautiful~" almost in a sing song voice which is quite funny #gaten seems to lean right into the joke-flirting delivery and honestly I respect that #this is based on footage that was 90% blocked by someone's head so I might be totally wrong #either way I hope you enjoy this illustration

#welp they lowered us to 5-8 last night but uh… #I woke up to 6 inches already on the ground with it coming down hard #and they upped us to 6-12 when I first checked #but we’ve been upped again to 8–13 #the roads were never treated here and it’s not plowed and my ride said nah fam so I called out of work #which like mild anxiety about that but also I’m glad #my sister in law texted me to be like pls tell me you don’t have to go out and that roads are horrible and she slid everywhere #this is wild like two days ago they were lol we’re not gonna get anything #love that the weatherman is always fucking wrong anymore #reminds me of the storm a few years back where they were like ‘maybe 1-3?’ #but we kept getting more and they eventually just gave up and slapped us with a blizzard warning #we got 33 inches that time which was the highest recorded ever for our area lol #this ain’t got the potential to do that it’s not a big enough storm #but get a little anxiety when it seems like they don’t know how much and keep upping it #but also sNOWWWWWW! :D #I will be so upset when I have to shovel later but ssssnnnnnoooowwwwww o:

man u rly start to notice new things every time u see this movie like. i went again today (just by myself) and more than anything else i can’t stop thinking about how they show elvis singing are you lonesome tonight two separate times: once after they want to cancel him for being lewd, n then again later on whenever he’s up in the international, alone and miserable. idk why it hit so hard but it did and it just. there’s always new things you discover whenever you watch it.

#i also can't stop thinking about how they used like. idk how to explain it but coin sounds whenever elvis is in vegas tryna fire the colonel #just a neat little detail based on his greed and his gambling habits #plus i still love how baz zooms in on the VICE in service on the sun records sign when elvis is talking about leaving them for rca records #i just really love this movie a lot okay #somehow it keeps getting better and better every time i see it #i still get chills in all the same places too #mostly trouble n when they introduce the vegas years w that mashup of see see rider and that's alright mama #so many things to think abt in that second and third half when everything calms down a bit #n dont get me wrong: i love the chaos of the first half #really fits the way his life got upended the way it did as he skyrocketed to fame #but there's something so intimate abt that back half that really gives it the gravitas it needs to rly stick the landing #at this point i'm gonna be thinking abt this movie for the next forever lmao #baz lurhman rly did a good w this one #personal #elvis 2022

i don't miss living near most of my family, tbh, but i DO miss terribly the recovered meth addict uncle.

#he and my aunt are the kindest just like #they have a house (my grandpa's old house) full of kids whose parents are in the system #they always have #my aunt has a cleaning business thay almost exclusively employs folk recovering from addiction or domestic violence or any number of other #things #for which montana just does not provide the resources to deal with #this woman has brittle bone disease and is never not broken in like four different places but you can NOT keep her stationary #she is doing things and she is doing them because she's too fucking full of love to stay still #my dad is also very full of compassion so like it does happen in that family but where for him religion has closed him off from the world #god just means love for my aunt and uncle. #unconditionally #i grew up in the church and ive NEVER seen christianity like that #like for the record i still think theyre wrong lmao and the system they work in is harmful #idk theyre the only people ive ever known who actually prioritize folks' needs over their salvation #and that's really important #it's real missing the members of my family ive more or less lost because i had to fuckin run from the rest of them hours #he's the first person i told abt the tattoo im gonna get for my grandma someday #i have almost no memories of her where she wasn't just wreathed in smoke #even when she said she stopped smoking she never did lmao she was just. an absolute chimney of a woman #anyway she collected v kitsch strawberry things so im gonna get a kinda kitschy botanical halfsleeve at some point thats just #strawberry plants woven through with stylized cigarette smoke #anyway i was like this is probably irreverent af and some family members will NOT like it and he like LAUGHED and grabbed my arm #just like losing his shit #NO YOU HAVE TO

It Keeps No Record of Wrongs

Love Never Fails 7

By Danielle Cheri

NaNoWriMo 2023

Chapter One

1911

Beryl Dyer was Victoria Osborne's oldest and dearest friend. They had been playmates for as long as Vick could remember. It was a little stab every time one of her friends married or had a child, but it was an assault when Beryl announced her own engagement.

Vick smiled and hugged Beryl and told her how happy she was for her. But deep down she was having a crisis. The pair of them had each respectively celebrated their 25th birthdays. The biggest difference was that Beryl was always surrounded by interesting men, but Vick rarely was. Sure, there were plenty that were attreacted to her and paid calls, but she never felt anything beyond friendly with most of them.

Sometimes, when she was feeling particularly petty, she blamed other members of her family. Susan, Anthony, and Zoe lived very comfortably together in their modest home. No one ever said aloud that her brother and sister shared their relationship with Susan, but every wione knew. And Anthony had been arrested for indecency when he was found in a compromising position with another man. This had been long before Victoria was born, but if she knew about it, then so did all of London.

Then there was Jason and his wife. Or rather, his husband, she supposed. But that was a slightly better secret than Anthony's past. Though there was plenty of talk about the man who had moved into the house Jason and his wife had once shared. And they way Michael treated Phillip, it was easy to see that there was more to the man than one first saw.

Beryl brought the invitation in person as the summer started to set in. It was a pretty cream with gold lettering.

"You are cordially invited to the nuptuals…."

Vick smiled, "A country wedding?"

Beryl laughed, "Yes. I know it sounds quaint, but Mama insisted we show hospitality and do somwthing out of the ordinary. Besides, Rupert's family actually owns the neighboring estate, so we've decided to make quite thr show of it. Your mother is invited, too, of course. We wouldn't dream of leaving her out so soon after your father's passing. And Mama has offered to be her companion the whole time she isn't fretting over the wedding. She also thinks your mother will have plenty of insight to the final preparations with how many of you there were."

Vick gave a laugh that she didn't entirely feel. "I'll make sure to pass this along to Mama. But unofficially we accept the invitation."

"That's just grand!" Beryl gave Vick a warm embrace and then sat back. "And don't you worry, Rupert and I are putting our heads together about all the elegiable men from both our guest lists and will introduce you to as many of them as we can at all the festivities leading up. Perhaps you can find your prince." She leaned in close, "Or at least find someone to have a memorable affair with."

Victoria felt her cheeks turning red. "Either way, I will do my best to be a good sport about it, but please leave it to a minimum."

Beryl held out her pinkie. "Promise."

Vick wrapped her own pinkie around Beryl's.

cant wait for people on this website to stop talking about this trial because I havent seen this many horrible takes since before the most toxic users migrated to twitter

#sorry i keep ranting about it but every time I think I'm done I see some new freezing cold take #reblogged by someone I otherwise like and respect #the fact that so many people absolutely refuse to recognize that JD was so obviously horrifically abused just further proves #to male victims that if they come out with their truth they will be disregarded and gaslit #the host to a podcast I usually love wrote an absolute shit article about it #saying that Amber was just being gaslit into uhhh hitting JD and mocking him and laughing maniacally and not letting him leave #and that she's the real victim #literally what the fuck is wrong with you that you jump over that many mental hurdles to make excuses for the real abuser #I need these people to listen and re-listen to every single one of those recordings and tell all the survivors in the audience #that isnt abuse #what happened to 'believe all survivors'?? or do some of yall only support that when it's 'believe all women'? #fucking ice cold #ice cold takes here #and I fucking listened and believed her when she first came out against him! #So did thousands of others! #But now that I've seen the evidence from both the UK trial and here I have changed my mind #because she fucking perjured herself over and over and over! #call me a 'misogynist' all you want but it's not fucking feminism if it doesn't include men! #No what's misogynistic is believing that a woman who has been RECORDED admitting to physically abusing her husband #is incapable of being the abuser because she's a woman and he's a man

Quoique d'une pâleur presque livide, cet homme [Simbad le Marin] avait une figure remarquablement belle; ses yeux étaient vifs et perçants; son nez droit, et presque de niveau avec le front, indiquait le type grec dans toute sa pureté, et ses dents, blanches comme des perles, ressortaient admirablement sous la moustache noire qui les encadrait. (p. 346)

WE HAVE ACHIEVED MOUSTACHE I REPEAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED MOUSTACHE

#now is it a fake moustache? that remains to be seen #(the context for this is that i've always wondered how dantès manages to pass as so many different people and my theory is that he just #has a fake moustache collection) #actually i should keep a running record of the physical descriptions of his different personas #the most salient part of this one is his pallor. the narration even goes on about it more after the part i excerpted #so fake moustaches and face powder. that's my revised theory #the count of monte cristo #my posts #'le type grec dans toute sa pureté' hmm not loving that description but can't say i'm surprised as this book is. quite racist. #the beginning of the book is fine but that's mostly because edmond is in prison by himself lol #now he's out in the world and we're meeting other characters and he's doing all sorts of shit in the middle east and north africa #i mean we don't see him do it but he talks about it #can't wait (sarcastic) for the part where golden boy maximilien morrel talks about his valiant service as a violent imperialist #spellcheck is telling me that moustache is spelled wrong but i don't see it and i won't respond to it #uh pretty sure it's an accepted variant. so zip it bigmouth
