#texting my mum

[badassindistress]

We tried clasped spinning with my mum's hand carved spindle!

A friend gave us some wool (the kind still with grass in, don't ask me to be more specific than that) so we could give it a go to the best of our recollection (plus some help from mijnwolden's video)

It tooks some trying, but my second attempt was passable, I think I got the hang of it a bit:

#handspinning #i might try this again next summer #for now this was enough experimentation #my mum says thanks to everyone who helped out btw #spinning #in the video the spindles had carving in the tip i think that might help #alt text in image id

I wish Halt was bitter and angry about his stolen birthright. It feels all a bit too convenient that, actually, he never cared about becoming king/ wasn’t something he wanted anyway.

Young Halt heartbroken and furious he had to leave his home and now having to find a place for himself in the world knowing it will never be the life he wanted. Years pass and he goes from resenting Ferris to resenting himself for not fighting for his crown, for letting his people down. Of course he’s still content with his life as a ranger, but sometimes it only makes his want for a crown grow stronger. He sees so much injustice around him and even tough he is in a position to punish or eradicate some of it, he will never be powerful enough to get to the root of it. He can’t make new laws or erase old ones. But he could have, if only he stayed, if only he just fought back.

I am just going to let myself be delusional for one second here and say that perhaps you can see some of this back in the actual book canon. He doesn’t really care about disrespecting or antagonising nobles or others of high rank…Perhaps because he knows that in another life he would out rank all of them. Yes, yes, rangers are second only to the king but they aren’t always viewed that way.

Being raised with the idea that one day you will be the most powerful person in your country, that this what you were born for, your sole purpose. And then its all ripped away from you, and you let it slip through your fingers because you didn’t have the heart to become the monter that was hunting you.

And imagine how much of this anger could be amplified to the max when he was in Hybernia? It could’ve been a nice moment between Will and Halt in which Halt expresses some of his own guilt and shame and anger with all the suffering he (indirectly) caused. But no, Halt doesn’t want the crown and is fine actually.

#rangers apprentice #ranger's apprentice #halt o'carrick #mine #my text #bitter halt i see you #shouldve been king #would make the decision to let saun be king even more powerful because it would finally give halt the chance to do something good for his #people #this time standing aside doesnt mean surrender it means hope it means a bright future #mum will is being emo about halt again!!!

Post-revolution Annie just posts random videos of Finnick and their son on the internet and they always go viral because people have only ever seen Finnick as playboy extraordinare and now they see Finnick being a dumbass father who's trying his best and it's very endearing and 90% of the time the camera pans out to an unimpressed Johanna or Katniss and it's great

#the hunger games #finnick odair #katniss everdeen #annie cresta #johanna mason #listen he's trying #he's never done anything like this before #he needs a minute #finnick ringing his mum like “MUM THE BABY IS CRYING ALL NIGHT WHAT AM I DOING WRONG 😭” #“mum he reached for my lobster can he have it” “finnick hes 6 weeks old” #“mum is he meant to be throwing himself off every surface??” “i mean you did so take that as you will” “NOT HELPFUL” #“can i take him swimming yet?? i want to show him the sharks 😁😁” “finnick hes 2 months old ffs” #Annie's just watching the chaos and texting Finnick's mum like “sorry mum dont stress it I got this” #Finnick's mum just sat there like “at least one of you knows wtf is going on” #jokes on her annie just has a million parenting books she flips through to answer her questions before heading to google #annies search history includes 'how old til baby can visit ocean' #'can i make baby food out of anything' #'how to tell my husband that hes doing fine but holding the baby like that is going to send me into a coma'

#thinking about death again bc my dad texted an update on my mum #apparently she got a blood transfusion and threw up. thrilling stuff. but it just nudges at my head #bc it just makes me think. when shes gone its going to leave a trace. the outline of a person #i dont kno why i find that so upsetting. i just think about all the half completed scrapbooks that will whither away in my sisters old room #and it makes me cry. shell leave behind her incomplete scrapbooks. half tumbled rocks. containers of sea glass and lucky stones. digital #conversation thatll never be responded to. shoes and clothes #and memories. evidence of of a life no longer there to live it #and it just makes me sad i guess. i dunno. theres something sad about a project that will never be finished #a project doomed to be forgotten because it was only ever in the care of one person #but thats how it goes. what is is. nothing to be done about it but feel that sadness #i dunno. my head is full of static and frustration for unrelated reasons #but death pokes at my head during the day and i lose my already unsteady focus in an effort not to cry #im tired and sad and wishing my medication was working better #shes not even dead yet. im pulling a roman r0y and pre grieving. except for reals #unrelated

y'all it's my sweetheart's birthday today 🥹💗

#and she's currently sleeping next to me in my childhood bed in my childhood home in my country that i haven't been in three years #for... reasons #conveniently the same room i was in when we first texted each other a decade ago and #same room we slept in after she spent the money she earned working two jobs as a teenager and travelling for over 24h to come meet me #the same room i came out to my mum in #the same room we fell in love many lifetimes ago #the same room i studied in and cried in and fought with my mum in and hid from my parents in and now it's #sweet memories rewriting all the ugly #trying to make sense of my childhood again and fix the broken cracks and she's here for me though it all #and she's the best person in the whole world and it's a privilege for anyone to be her friend but to feel the depths of her love like i do? #it's like being under the warm sun every single day #except the sun is an insanely gorgeous hilarious selfless and intelligent woman #and she chose me 🥹 #whinysteve the resilient woman you are. tumblr would not handle your life story #but they're extremely lucky to have you on here ❤️

sorry but, out of everyone, merlin having the only remaining parent is honestly a flex on his part. ESPECIALLY a mother and especially HUNITH

#rip arthur gwen elyan morgana they’re suffering fr #shows #bbc merlin #merlin #hunith #text #tais toi lys #merlin: im taking a week off to visit mum. #arthur and gwen already packing: you mean OUR mum. #merlin: don’t you have a kingdom to run? #arwen (gives each other a look before nodding) and says together: leon can handle it. #merlin: she’s MY mother. i need a break from you lot. #arthur: HEY. #gwen: 😢🥺🙁 #merlin sighing: okay… only for gwen i’ll allow this visit 🙄 #gwen: ☺️ #arthur: this is incredibly rude *mer*lin. #merlin: you’re right. (turns to gwen) invite elyan as well. #arthur: MERLIN! #*

i appreciate so much that the party are just straight up fucking nerds. they didn't try to make them cool nerdy, they didn't try to make them seem even slightly cool even to each other. they are huge nerds and they know it and so does everyone around them. excellent stuff.

#also according to my mum being a nerd was NOT cool at all in the 80s so accuracy. #like these days its kinda cool #mike especially is a giant fucking geek i adore him #the party #stranger things #text

[burgerking-drive-through]

And based on the occasions that I do remember

I think it’s better that we don’t

#Guess what! this was originally going to have THIRTEEN images #but tumblr just refused to upload the rest #so you get less lore #ill prob add the others to another post later #anyway #sleeping inside #and talking about certain things #seems to have brought back some memories for beetle #for context they got lost then slept in skipbadgers mums barn #looked at skips baby photos #thats a VERY brief summary #turns out if no one sends me asks i just start drawingg lore #please send asks #beetlelegs #art #art! #my art #beetlelore #mommyclan #also yes the text is frim the aski i sent patchflame #oof i cropped those images horribly

so yesterday morning i was stressing myself out thinking about Dennis and i was planning to watch my season four dvd and get my thoughts together but i figured since i was already kinda worked up about it i should do something to calm down first so i watched a Let’s Play and that didn’t do much so then i put on the disney channel and watched a few episodes of Bluey (don’t judge me) and then this other show Kiff came on and i figured hey why not cuz the title character is voiced by Lena’s VA from the 2017 Ducktales and it was all going well until the second episode cuz Kiff was trying to get her friend’s paintings into an art gallery so she put on a wig and does an accent while pretending to be an art collector and the first thing she does is walk thru the gallery and degrade the stuff there and now while that was innocuous enough on its own she does specifically call one of the pieces “derivative” and at that point i had to rationalize with myself like hey it’s not that weird that there’s a very loose offhanded reference to a scene from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia since that scene is such a popular meme and the show in theory is also very well known and it doesn’t mean shit but ig it just hit the wrong way for me since i was watching children’s cartoons to avoid thinking about Sunny and it’s like of all the episodes they could’ve made a wink to and i actually did end up watching Dee Made A Smut Film yesterday cuz of that since it was on my mind idk i just found the whole thing to be a very interesting coincidence and my reaction was kinda funny since normally when i see things i like referenced in other things i get excited like when i see Jurassic Park references since it’s so mainstream and well known it’s just sort of a fun like oh hey it’s that thing i like but whenever i encounter Sunny references in the wild i just get so alarmed it stops me dead in my tracks cuz it’s always some surface level meme reference so i’m just standing there like They Don’t Know This Scene Is From An Episode Where My Special Little Guy Gets His Trauma Thrown Back In His Face In Front Of Complete Strangers By His Twin Sister

#i was making healthy choices and trying to decompress why the fuck did that have to be the ep that came on #it just baffles me how everyone knows sunny but few people KNOW sunny #this could’ve been summarized with a meme but i wanted to ramble #just an absolute wall of text with very little punctuation so that you can truly understand my current state of mind #like that episode i’ve actually watched with my mum #mostly so she could explain who rick moranis and richard greico are #and even then i turned it off right before dee’s video because wasn’t in the right place emotionally to watch it that night #so seeing that scene referenced out of context in a kid’s show was jarring

One nice thing is that I no longer have any doubt about my ADHD or autism diagnoses. If I ever feel doubtful about it I just need to think about the hundred million behaviours and habits my mum and I share which are incredibly clear indicators of both. Or the ones I share with my brother. Or with my ND friends. Or even the occasional flash of memory of stuff my dad used to do. The peer reviews are so strong. Doubting stuff about myself has always been a very prevalent part of my life so it's nice not to have any trace of it about this anymore.

#i was actually thinking about this anyway but then my mum randomly sent me a text just there that shed done an online test and #scored very highly lmao #and then i said congrats lol and then her next message was about ants

[sneefsnorf]

trying to prove to my mum that the furry community isnt just a niche fetish thing so she stops thinking im drawing porn. 100% worst experience of my life

#sneefs text #no hate to the furries into niche fetishes. do your thing. i just need my mum to understand

"I can't hear you over the sound of the eight billion glasses and plates clinking, and the very high possibility that I'm going to lose my job, and the fact that everyone at this charity dinner hates me but we have to act nice to each other, and the weird lighting in this room, and these fucking Spanx!" - Katherine Hastings, probably

#she's autistic because i said so #the lighting in the charity dinner is so weird #it's not bad lighting but the spotlights make me think of searchlights #i remember trying on these really firm leggings that my mum has #and my mum was like “remember when you were asking about shapewear because of that show? that's what Spanx feel like.” #and i'm thinking “well that's bullshit; i can see why they made an entire cold open about them; this material is awful.” #also there's a continuity error in that cold open with katherine's sleeves #and it bothers me because when ana posted the scene on her insta; there was no continuity error #but the clips were in a different order in the actual episode #which just goes to show how many times i've watched that cold open #like i love it and i hate it #also wtf were the tight sleeve things for #do people really pay that much attention to women's arms when they're wearing tight dresses? #katherine and ana don't need spanx #and the former shouldn't feel like she needs them #i will die on this very specific hill #that scene in the commercial ep where sadie says something like “women should wear what they're comfortable in” #TELL THAT TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND #on x's insta she said that they were all wearing spanx and could barely breathe #and i'm just thinking about katherine really awkwardly asking dori for help #and dori sending a text to sadie #being like “we will all support katherine. we will all be concerned about her job and be physically uncomfortable together.” #women loving women in a non-gay way #but also in a gay way #sad that i can't tag people in hashtags #because i would love for @harrietdyker to write a fic #american auto #katherine hastings #sadie ryan #dori otis

[shiftingserendipity]

this may be slightly tmi but come on this is tumblr, my parents are going away for like 2 weeks next month and i cannot get the idea of buying a few joints off of my friend and also getting my nipples pierced

#like seriously actually considering it #i don’t think i could hide it from my mum king #but i think she’d be disappointed and yet proud cause that’s mean i went and did something without her #i’d go with mt friend i’d get the joints off of though #i’m just trying to hold myself back from texting her about it cause i know as soon as i do it’s gonna happen #and idk if i actually want it to happen yet #juni rambles 💅🏻 #reality shifting #shifting #shiftblr #desired reality #shifting realities #reality shift #current reality #drself #not shifting

Hmm 🌝

#reading the jojolands #mine #jjba #jojos bizarre adventure #text #theory #the jojolands #usagi alohaoe #well well well #so his mum has money and he specifically mentions his dad had an HONEST job????? why would you need to specify that? #and yes my first thought at the dad mention was aisho lmao #what if meryl mei had him killed for the insurance money he mentions next panel???? #not aisho obvs but if his dad is just a random guy #hmmm... bear with me but bus..... school bus..... school...... school principal????????????? #ALSO does this chapter confirm his logo shows women's legs in high heels?! #much to consider for delusional ol’ me #(should mention this is a rough translation so it could be null) #ok so this is how 'usagi is meryl mei's son' can still win -

#its sort of funny. i think my medication is working pretty well. i feel stable in a way i never really have before #is it the dopamine stablizer or is it my ion channels? whos to say. it doesn't matter. but it also doesnt change some things #the ways i think and react negativly to change. but it makes it easier to deal with. i still experience this strange dispaire on the #weekends or anytime im not working. i think the oddest thing is thst i dont think ive ever been this consistenly sad #not in a depressed sort of way. just a passing thoughts make me tear up sort of way. it doesnt feel out of control. it just feels like a #prelude to grief i guess. bc my mum is still in the hospital and its so hard to kno what that means from halfway across the country #my sisters are both home right now. they both live within 3hrs of where we grew up. one sister lives in the city my mom goes to for #treatment. so they have the opportunity to see her more than me. i dunno if they do tho. we dont really talk. i dont kno if they're as sad #as i am. if im overreacting bc i cant physically see what's happening. what the feeling is in the room. not that she would probably complain #shes the suffer in silence type. my dad keeps texting us pics of our shitty lil sunroom that hes redoing #to make my mum a lil sanctuary. he must be sad too. its his wife. hes staying with her in the hospital rn. i dunno its so weird #when i talk to my counselor she assumes i find out info thru calls or talk to my sisters abt it and i gotta b like nah we dont really talk #i get my info thru text. i havent talked to my parents on the phone in like a month. i dunno we just dont talk. so i dont kno how to reach #out and be like yo so whats up? shoulf i plan on coming home this summer for a bit?? like??? #this is the disadvantage of leaving thr place where you grew up. probably when i finish my phd i should move closer to home #somewhere in the Appalachian mountains maybe. somewere in the eastern deciduous forrest. somewhere with thunderstorms. #but thats years from now. who knows what ill b doing. for now im just sad and tired and i dont quite kno what to do in the short or long #term bc im feeling the weight of my mental limitations rather intensely. but maybe im just being self limiting #whatever. i dont have a dead mum yet. shes not even on hospice care. things are just uncertain and dont look so hot #i just dont see how it can get better from here when chemo gave her secondary blood cancer and shes still full of tumors #i dont think im being that dramatic. it just objectively seems not great for survival #unrelated
