#shout it from the mountains

[weird-an]

Joyce didn’t expect Billy living with them would be so hard for him. To be honest, it‘s frustrating and heartbreaking.

He‘s been sleeping on the couch for three weeks now. He‘s always up first, coffee made, table already set. The blanket is always neatly folded as if the couch has never been used. He‘s like a ghost, whenever she enters the living room, he‘s gone.

Joyce can‘t take it anymore. She tries to talk about it with Billy, but he always hide behind a smile and a joke.

So one morning she sets her alarm early. She goes to the kitchen, sets the table and is already drinking coffee when Billy stumbles into the room.

”What time is it?“ His eyes dart to the clock and Joyce can almost feel his panic. He‘s trying so hard, she realizes. He doesn‘t know he doesn‘t have to earn staying with them.

”Time that I treat you for once, Billy.“ She winks at him and hands him a cup of coffee. ”How about pancakes? Chocolate chip or blueberry?“

”What?“ Billy looks from the coffee to her and back in disbelief. ”I can eat either.“

”But what do you want, sweetie? You can choose.“ She gives him a smile.

”Chocolate chip?“ It‘s more a question than a wish, but Joyce will take it.

She starts making pancakes at 5 am in the morning, way too early to start a Saturday, but not too early to show Billy he‘s welcome here.

hey. if you're a live tapes enjoyer, do yourself a favor and go listen to the 03-01-2024 Grace Cathedral solo show tape. i listen to a lot of live tapes and this has hands down the most breathtakingly gorgeous acoustics I've ever heard. the way the church echoes is absolutely ethereal and the performance is haunting and beautiful. this tape is one for the books, for sure.

man especially having now read the flashbacks i think about how hard xie lian always tries and how many people have told him that he tries too hard, that he never should have bothered and that doing so made things worse, or even more commonly just hating on him for not fixing things or being arrogant or whatever they think his problem is. and some of those people are probably even coming from caring places!

but before hua cheng, had anyone ever sat next to him and said, you tried and that's good, it matters that you cared, you did your best. nobody could have done better than you.

how badly must xie lian have needed that?

#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #the donghua is making me emotional #this arc made me emotional in the books but what can i say people crying in my ears makes it worse #GOD the way xie lian loses his temper for a /half a minute/ bc he's spent centuries in silence about this #got stabbed through the chest and buried alive to preserve lang qianqiu's heart #and now it's all destroyed #and then the second he realizes that he did something as mild as shout at the person responsible #he breaks down apologizing?? #and like. its funnier with the romance parts later but its the same thing #xie lian is still human he can't stop himself from feeling or reacting to things #but he can hate himself for it. he can apologize for ever mildly inconveniencing someone else with his humanity #i don't think he internalizes what hua cheng says here at all #but. at least someone SAID it #at least someone told him what he did mattered and what he intended was worth something #after all that time #and like. you wonder how he can be so cheerful all the time usually despite all the shit that happened to him #but it's because he thinks he deserves every bit of it!! #i feel for hua cheng on a spiritual level i would also move mountains for this poor man if i could

it's the way that s4 mike couldn't hug will at the airport for me, because s3 mike held will in his arms and rested his chin on will's shoulder and just stood there!!! because s2 mike had no reservations about grabbing will and holding him close!!!! because the first thing s1 mike did when they were reunited was rest his head on will's chest and listen to his heartbeat to make sure he was really there!!!!! s4 mike wouldn't let himself hug will because if he did they'd be there all damn day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#byler #mike wheeler #i am scaling a mountain with my bare hands and i am shouting from the peak MIKE WHEELER I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!!!!!!!!! #he loves will!!!!!! wtf!!!!!!!!!! #s3 mike had to let will go and s4 mike didn't want to. so he didn't let himself hold on in the first place 💔 #feeling very normal and very sane about this!!!!!!! #I BET IT NEVER EVER OCCURRED TO YOU THAT I CANT SAY HELLO TO YOU AND RISK ANOTHER GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #GOD. SEDATE ME!!!! #MINE #icuiy

ok blogging time. I've been playing and loving the Arkham games (Asylum, City, and I haven't gotten to Knight yet), esp since Spider-man 2018 has been my favorite game for a long time and everytime I told people that they'd be like, oh Spider-Man Arkham huh? And now I get it. ANYWAY, the only thing I ever really knew of the Arkham games before this was the PATD song Mercenary, which was some sort of collab between Arkham City and PATD? There's an interlude in the song that's lines of dialogue from Hugo Strange, and it was SO weird playing a game I'd never played before but being able to nearly perfectly say Strange's lines when I got to the scene/event they're from. What this is getting at, though, is that I think that song-- and many of PATDs early, eerie sort of songs, are sooooo perfect for a gritty Gotham feel. I have many thoughts on PATD and all involved but damn. i love kinda spooky, kinda horny bops, and I need to make a playlist since I'm obvi in a batfam fixation period from Wayne Family Adventures, the Arkham games, and rewatching Teen Titans recently :0 ok blogging over for now

#i like shouting my thoughts into the void i should od it more #the patd album vices and virtues .... godddddddddd #i had all of it downloaded on my teeny little mp3 player when one april my family van broke down on the side of a colorado mountain in a sn #snowstorm and to soothe my anxiety until the towtruck could get thru i just listened to those songs over and over again #kind of a core memory - i can go back to that moment so easily #ANYWAY relistening to songs from ur teen years is Soooooo interesting and important #some things im not as into. sorry cascada you dont hold my love the way you did once long ago #but other things like oooooooo #aurora talks

Hi! Just wanna raise some awareness here because South America is on fucking fire and I need to see more people talking about this.

Source: RSOE EDIS x

Im just going to talk about the ones i'm closest to, but if you know about these fires, feel free to add in the reblogs!

Chile

In Chile there's (up to Feb 5) 160 wild fires, of which 40 are still trying to be controlled by authorities. The president, Gabriel Boric, has declared State of Emergency in the whole country, and theres a Red Alert Code in most part of the country.

Isla de Chiloé, Southern Chile (900 km away from Santiago de Chile)

This is a (recently controlled) fire that lasted a week, but many neighborhoods were burnt to the ground.

The whole South is in red alert for constant sudden fires that spread quickly due to the lack of rain and the elevated temperatues in the zone. Just today, two fires had to be controlled in the main land next to this island, and more are being reported in the Los Lagos region. This is added to the "controlled" intentional fires that farmers make to clean their fields of old crops along the Central-South parts of the country, mostly surrunding the main route, Ruta 5, that connects the whole country, thus making it hard to see and breathe because of the smoke. (flashnews, most of them get out of control quickly.)

Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Central Chile (100 km away from Santiago de Chile)

A fire that started on Friday 2nd and grew exponentially because of the wind and the dry, hot climate. More than 100 people are dead, with 70 unrecognized bodies and other 400 that have dissapeared. At least 30000 people that have lost everything to the fire.

There's massive evacuations from this and the neighboring city, Viña Del Mar.

This is said to be the second most deadly fire in the century, surpased by Australia in 2009.

45000+ hectares that include land and neighborhoods have been burnt down.

I could go on about this one, so more info here and here

Argentina

Parque Los Alerces (Esquel), Chubut

The fire strarted on the 25th January, and the climate has made it hard to contain. 3000 hectares of native forest have been burnt to teh ground. It is now growing in the direction of the nearest city, Esquel. Theres been evacuations between yesterday and today (4 and 5th Febuary)

Parque Nahuel Huapi (Bariloche), Río Negro

The reason why im writing this. The city woke up today covered in smoke after a wildfire developed yesterday during the night. The reason? A fireplace that was not turned off in a place where people cannot disembark and can only be reached via boats.

As of now, there's not much information about the fire but hopefully the firefighters will be able to contain it before it reaches Tronador Mountain, where an ancient glaciar is.

...which leads me to the other point i wanted to talk about.

Firefighters

They volunteer to do this job.

In Argentina and Chile, firefighting is not rewarded with a salary, and most of the times they dont even have full firehouses to stay in. These people are at their houses, ready to jump into action and run to the station the second the alarm goes off.

They are neighbors, people that risk their lives and run into danger willingly, just because they want to help the community.

I felt the need to give a shout-out to these people and say:

Don't be a fucking dick, don't start fires in the woods unless it's an approved place, and if you do, TURN IT OFF.

Pour abundant water on it, and do not stop when you don't see any more flames.

Keep pouring water until the ashes don't burn/feel like room temperature in your hand if you put it 10 cm away from it, and even then, pour some more just to be sure.

No heat and no smoke mean a safely extinguished fire.

Save lives and forests.

Picture this: Dragons using their caves to age cheese. Dragon Cheesemakers!!

The dragon coiled his enormous body, completely blocking the entrance of the tunnel that lead to the caves.

“No,” he snarled, smoke pluming from his nose.

The cheesemonger pinched the bridge of her own nose. “Look, I explained this to you at the start,” she tried once more. “I make cheese.”

“Yes,” the agreed, nodding his scaly head.

“Then I bring the cheese here.”

“Yes.”

“Then you store all the cheese in your cave, keeping it at the perfect temperature and humidity.”

“Yes.” He sounded particularly proud of this part.

“And then when the cheese has ripened,” she concluded. “I come to pick the cheese up again.”

A thunderous scowl clouded his maw. “No.”

“But that’s how it works!” she cried in exasperation. “I make the cheese, you store the cheese, I sell the cheese, I make more cheese!” She peered up at him. “You do realise I cannot bring you new cheese until I have sold this cheese.”

The dragon considered this for a moment. “Ah, but what if—” he began. “What if you go and make more cheese. And bring me the cheese. And I put it in my cave, with the rest of the hoard. And then I keep it there forever.”

“No,” she said flatly.

It was remarkable how much a dragon could look like it had just swallowed a lemon.

“You can’t keep cheese forever,” she insisted. “It will spoil and go bad!”

“You said it would get better and better!” the dragon roared indignantly. “And I take good care of them! With the air flow and the humidity and the temperature!”

“And that is great,” she said, trying to smile through her frustration. “But when a cheese is ripe, it’s ripe! Then you should not be kept anymore, it should be eaten.”

The dragon scraped it’s formidable claws against the stony ground and sulked.

“Look…” The cheese mongering business did not tend to require a lot of sweet-talking, but she was making an effort. “I’m sure the cheeses that aged in your cave are the best cheeses people have ever tasted. When they find out how delicious they are they will want us to make loads more. Maybe several caves’ worth!”

The reptilian eyes stared at her with disgruntled, reluctant interest. “Several caves?”

“If we’re lucky! And I could make so much cheese that I could bring you new cheese as soon as I pick up the aged cheese. Your cave would never even be empty!”

This seemed to strike a chord. The dragon lifted his head a little.

“And that would really be much better for the rest of your hoard,” she continued with fresh inspiration. “Because if you leave cheese too long, it might go bad and spoil the cheeses next to it too!”

A nervous ripple went through the beast’s scaly body, but he clearly was not convinced just yet. “But what sort of a hoard is it if I have to give it away,” he complained.

“Well! Cheese is not just any old hoard! It’s a developing creation! And you will have a hoard that is constantly developing too. Constantly changing, but, if we do this right, never shrinking.”

The dragon looked at her solemnly, wavering with uncertainty. Perhaps she shouldn’t hold it against the poor thing, it must be a difficult concept to wrap his head around.

“And I will tell you what,” she said encouragingly. “If business is good, I can start investing in some really good crumbly cheeses. You can keep those in your cave for five whole years!”

“That is quite a long time for humans, is it not?” he said, sounding a little more cheerful.

“Very long. Especially when it comes to cheese. Cheeses that have been aged that long are very expensive.”

In retrospect, she should perhaps have led with that. Gourmand or not, a dragon was still a dragon after all. A glittering, toothy grin appeared on her recalcitrant business partner’s shout and he moved just enough for her to move past him into the mountain.

“Tell me more about this expensive cheese that crumbles.”

She hid a smirk. “If you help me carry some of the current ones out, it would be my pleasure.”
