finally reading @cryptotheism’s amber skies. first descriptor that pops to mind thus far is “visceral.” i think all of you eroticism of meat and the machine enjoyers should be crawling all over this shit like weavils. god knows i am

#guy who said all this shit in the tags and then realized it’s sounds mean. hi excellent fucking book super loving it. #in general i find dystopias to be not quite to my taste but i do love a story that’s made of meat #and i love a story that ticks #and we’re two for two so far #odhran.txt #amber skies #i’m having a little trouble for the same reason i had trouble with the locked tomb. just that the flesh and meat r So present it fucks with #me a little. but also i’m still eating ut with a knife

me: phil lester is 35 years old, he’s not a baby, he’s a grown ass man, he can take care of himself, we shouldn’t infantilise him

phil:

me: oh ok. yeah uh our fears are valid. he’s not going to survive while dan’s on tour. bye phil was nice knowing you bestie 😪😞

#he’s so dumb #they’re both so dumb #i love dumb gay men #the only time i’ll ever say i love men is if the words “dumb” and “gay” are present #dnp #dan and phil #it actually comforts me so much how dumb they are #i’m 24 and i’m an idiot #i don’t know how to do anything #so if they at 31 and 35 have kept themselves alive #had successful lives #maybe there’s hope for me #phan #amazingphil #daniel howell #we’re all doomed #wad tour #dan howell #danisnotonfire #fuck u #yeet my deet

#my work just had the most the office moment i’ve ever seen DJDKDK #literally me and a few of the girls have been telling the manager that the men just. stink like they smell like bad B.O. #and if we can smell it then customers can definitely smell it #and my manager didn’t want to say anything bc he didn’t want to be mean but it was so bad this morning he was like. okay i see. #we need a meeting #give me 10 minutes #then 10 mins later he pages everyone to come to the break room #and we’re all sitting there and he pulls up a powerpoint presentation on the tv #and the first slide is just: ‘ @ Men. You fucking smell.’ #and the guys started laughing and he goes: ‘smelling like wet ass is not a laughing matter please’ #then he clicked the next slide and it’s the only other slide on the powerpoint and it says: ‘so what are we going to do about it? discuss’ #AHSJDKKSLR

many years ago someone complimented me on how sincerely i wished my ex well after a break up and i did mean it at the time but im truly not that bitch anymore i hope his nose is stuffy the rest of his life tbqph

#op #this is a diary post ill be real #theres a little heart shaped lock on it and everything #when i hear songs about fatherhood i no longer grieve the relationship i never got to have with my father #i only grow deeply enraged with my ex that he forced that same pain on my child when he literally could have bounced AT ANY TIME #but no he waited until immediately afterwards LMFAO #king of shit timing #call me a bitter baby momma all you want #i am #and ill stay bitter until my child is old enough to work through it themself in therapy #which he will be paying for #men will see women with trauma and promise before god that he will break the cycle then be like ''ctrl+c ctrl+v'' #EDIT I do want to be clear tho he’s no deadbeat whatsoever #he pays and he’s present (12/30 days but it’s not zero at least) #he’s just also… free. he doesn’t have to deal with being a parent #he gets the sometimes and I have the always #and it burns when he promised me we would both have the always #that we would be a team #we’re not a team #I’m sponsored #and it kills me #and if there were a deity who listened I would pray to them that it does not kill my baby #not the way it killed me a thousand different ways when I realized my father was never interested in being one #not when it was hard #not when it was inconvenient #not when it was always

I tried something…

Did it work? Did I do it?

I’ve been staring at this for so long that I genuinely don’t know if this looks right anymore

Help me.

#I tried to draw more of Verdigris’ design #… #the line thicknesses are all wrong #but #I brute forced this drawing out of me #I genuinely forced it to look presentable enough #this is the best I can do #I rlly sat here and thought: yeah #I can pull this off #this won’t take long cuz we’re emulating a simple artstyle #GIRL YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DRAW HAIR OR ANATOMY OR FACES PROPERLY #WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? #I have no clue how many hours I spent on this to get to this point #I’ll shut up now #r1999 oc #verdigris r1999 #reverse 1999 oc #my art #fruiggy doodles

i actually am annoyed by the current trend of like. this idea that romance is the lowest kind of plot or way to engage with something and not like. the spice that makes everything taste good. every story can include some form of romance if you’re not a reactionary coward trying to be subversive at the expense of like. satisfying and fullfilling storytelling.

#creators stop acting like having romance present in your work is somehow inherently Lesser #romance is more than a man and woman spending a story falling in love altho sometimes it’s that too! #we’re all obsessed with love in some shape or form #why act like that’s an immature way of engaging w a story #friendship is romantic if you make it real #death is roamntic suffering is romantic romance is romantic do you feel me

Florence was a guest on Zach Braff’s podcast to discuss her career and their new film A Good Person, which is out today!

I especially loved this bit at the end about her thoughts on possibly Directing films one day:

“I’d love to be a Director. I think I need to learn a bit more. I need to soak it up. It’s such a tricky position to have, and to lead, and to be a leader on a film set. You really have to be-You have to know your shit. And if you don’t a lot of people can get, you know, twisted up by that. And I think, for me, I don’t want to go in and not know and then affect an actor badly…It’s something that you really should go in knowing that you can do it. So I think I’m just going to do a bit more learning.”

#quote presented without further comment #I just love her #I was so on the fence about seeing the movie but the reviews are swaying me to watch it in theaters #and I really do hope she considers directing further on in her career #she also talked about her role as a producer on A Good Person and it sounds like she would make some really fantastic choices #as a filmmaker #I also loved how she appreciates fans of Midsommar but acknowledges we’re all weird 😂 #this was your daily dose of Florence Pugh for today :) #florence pugh #team flo #zach braff #a good person #film talk #Spotify

I love the rhyming on ttpd. can only think of two examples currently but I know there’s more.

#the dancing phantoms on the terrace do they get second hand embarrassed #is e v e r y t h I n g #but also I can’t stop thinking about: #you. look. like. taylor swift. in this light—we’re lovin’ it #like just the flow. the cadence. not even just the rhyme but #her ease with language and playfulness with it and all the little pockets and corners of so many songs #even ones you think you don’t like. settle in with time! #like the thing about taylor is that she is VERY much a poet #in that some of her genius/way with words is innate #and the images and stuff she uses the turns of phrase can feel so garish and embarrassing on first listen #they JAR #but honestly I think it’s because she is truly …. new? she is doing something NEW #and the shock and outrage that always goes with new things is always present with a Taylor album #and I think she’s drawing on so much from the past to write but she is so deeply rooted in the present cultural moment #so it’s so easy to dismiss her writing on first glance as like. idk a college girl’s idea of poetry #as being too Stark or Melodramatic. #she loves OBVIOUS imagery and extremely dramatic ones too #but she isn’t actually just throwing stuff at the wall #because pretty much always. it starts to land and soften and settle #and the image she’s chosen has done its job of drawing you into a world #and/or communicating an emotion #and sometimes it’s so upsetting. like. get me out of the bedroom with Matty Healy taylor!!!!!!!!!! but. the art is art-ing! #I guess is what I’m saying. she’s good at this it isn’t just hype #but some of it really is that she’s taking us places we might not want to go or are so quick to pass judgment on #as being unworthy of a song or more importantly a poem. but present art HAS to do that #and does do it!!!!!! idk I am just. musing

if we’re casting tenors as sweeney anyway (bad idea but let me have this) can we just let alan cumming do it already. he’s actually the proper age n he doesn’t sound too pretty singing. unlike a certain man I could name but won’t for fear of my safety

#also he PROVED he could do the character on schmicago #n arguably with threepenny + his dramatic shakespeare work as well #that’s a man who’s never been concerned with presenting himself nicely. which is ESSENTIAL for a sweeney #would I cast him in a vacuum? no he’s still a tenor #but IF WE’RE ALREADY CASTING TENORS.

worry sometimes that i’m transing my gender for no reason but think im gonna start taking the ‘won’t fix me but it can’t hurt’ mentality

#pers #i just have a very loose hold on like personhood and identity writ large. i’m not a particularly present person yk #i do think dysphoria is a part of that but it’s obvs not the only thing so sometimes im like #ohhh it’s not fixing it but like yeah obvs. it’s fine #im going to get weirder with it and im gonna chill out. we’re fine

Today I watched a Unitarian Universalist service on zoom. It was really very nice!

Kind of bittersweet.

Lately I’ve been really, really missing the aspect of having weekly rituals and community. Just the part about having somewhere to go once a week, a reason to get dressed nicely, bake something for a potluck, sing in a group, make small talk with familiar people in between the rows of chairs. So I thought I’d give it a try.

“Unitarian Universalist Fellowship” is what my local one is called. I remember looking them up a while ago, maybe last year? And I wasn’t interested then because the group is open to people worshipping anything and any deity, and I felt it would be too triggering to be around the word “god” a lot. But I read the website a lot and they’re open to atheists and agnostics too, and I figured it might be an okay space to engage in some of my weirdo traditions (like wearing a head covering but not in the way that MEANS things) with all the different religions they’re okay with.

And it was genuinely really nice! I kinda want to go in person sometime now, just to see.

Their opening statement was “love is the spirit of this fellowship and service gives it life. Celebrating our diversity, and joined by a quest for truth, we work for peace, and honor all creation. This is our covenant.”

I’ll never be religious again the way I was. I will never be the most devoted member of any religious group, even open ones like these. I don’t want to be, and I can’t anyway. My brain is super skeptical of things like “quest for truth” and “creation” and “spirit.” But I can light a candle for someone concerned about their niece’s cancer, and it won’t be vibes or prayers or energy, but it will be a token of support and community and solidarity, and it will be a way to appreciate and process events happening around me.

And I never thought I’d be able to have that part again, without it hurting too much. But I guess that’s how healing works. Who knows 🤷‍♀️

#to be clear: I am not joining this group or any group at present #but I found a fairly neutral community with weekly meetings involving relatively benign socializing and rituals #and it’s nice to know it’s there and I can log on to the zoom on Sundays if I want #and I do like the candles #we’re getting better tag
