shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.
moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.
put on clean, comfortable clothes.
put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.
drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.
clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.
blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.
make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.
make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.
call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.
cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.
bitches be like “this is the best piece of literature i have ever read” and it’s either a book that took them six weeks to finish or a fanfic they read at 3 AM
Happy birthday to AO3 🎂🎉

i cant sleep because im so scared for my future.
imagine it. The night is November 5th, 2024. The election results are in. Misha Collins post a video. The camera is facing him, as he says “I love you.” Then it pans to the other person in the room, Jensen Ackles. He responds with “Kamala Harris is the next present for the United States”
Dark Matter by @mysterycyclone and art by @spidey-art 🖤
she’s finally finished!! this has been in the works for like nine months now, but i wanted only the best so she truly feels like my baby after all the time and work that went into it.
i wish i could have found a way to include more of the gotham/batfamily side of things in this since thats literally the premise, but honestly i have so many batman binds peter deserves a bind all to himself 🖤
this is one of my all time favorite fics ever and i knew as soon as i read it that i would have to make a bind worthy of it and i’m pretty happy with it! i actually scraped my entire original design that i came up with back in like january when the last chapter came out because i realized it just wasn’t the direction i wanted to go with it. so when i couldn’t find anything that really matched what i had in mind for the chapter number designs and headers i drew my own. please be kind, abstract goop is not my usual style lol
anyways! everyone should read this and check out @spidey-art ‘s art because it’s beautiful and they were so kind as to let me use it for this bind!!!
DO NOT BUY OR SELL FANFICTION! please respect fandom and the authors and learn bookbinding or ask a friend who binds! this was entirely handmade and not for sale!

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
I actually always thought the old man was trans and thought the line was 'when I wore a young women's clothes' instead of younger man's and fully belived this for years until I looked at the lyrics and was disappointed
you know who’s gay? paul the real estate novelist who never had time for a wife and davey who’s still in the navy and probably will be for life
The overlap between loving Steve Harrington and Evan Buckley isn’t a Venn diagram. It’s just a fucking circle. 
Post-Starcourt Steve and Robin needing to get the hell out of the mall parking lot and being like, “I have this friend. He’s close.”
Cut to Eddie standing at his bedroom door, holding his guitar like an axe because he’s pretty sure someone just broke into his house and is going to murder him. When he busts out the door holding a lamp above his head (didn’t want to break his guitar), he nearly bludgeons a couple of puke covered ice cream sailors.
After they all stop screaming, Steve looks at the lamp and nudges it like, “Lighten up, man.”
Eddie: What are you doing here?
Steve: Relax, my friend lives here.
Eddie: I live here
Steve: Are you my friend? No??? Then I’m talking about someone else. Duh. *makes a gesture to Robin like ‘this guy.’*
Robin, making the same gesture back: We are going to sleep on your couch.
Eddie: …Are you guys high?
Steve & Robin, after considerable thought: A little.

The SS Warrimoo, a passenger steamship traveling from Vancouver to Australia, was silently knifing its way across the mid-Pacific waters. The navigator had just finished calculating a star fix and handed the results to Captain John DS. Phillips.
The Warrimoo's coordinates were LAT 0º 31' N, LONG 179 30' W. The date was December 31, 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton announced, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line."
Captain Phillips was prankish enough to seize the opportunity to do the nautical feat of a lifetime. He summoned his navigators to the bridge to double-check the ship's position. He altered his course slightly to focus directly on his target. He then altered the engine's speed.
The calm weather and clear night worked to his advantage. At midnight, the SS Warrimoo rested on the Equator, exactly where it had crossed the International Date Line. The ramifications of this odd arrangement were numerous.
The ship's bow was in the Southern Hemisphere, in the middle of summer. The stern was in the Northern Hemisphere, in the midst of winter. The date on the aft portion of the ship was December 31, 1899. The date on the forward half of the ship was January 1, 1900. The ship experienced multiple days, months, years, seasons, and centuries simultaneously.

my mom just had a 7cm brain tumor removed and since she's woken up she's been talking nonstop about this dream she had about going to an art gallery full of colourful paintings by a 'homosexual artist' named klimsdorf who was ethereal and wise, both young and old... at first she was convinced he was a real person but after failing to find him online she's accepted he was a figment of her subconscious mind and is now determined to bring him to life via painting his portrait herself. she's 67 and has never drawn in her life. and now this. blorbo from her tumor
GUYS I JUST SAW THIS ON TWITTER AND I AM DYING
I have tragically yet seen a A:TLA crack fic where canon! sokka gets suck in a modern, no powers AU. While juggling his counter identity, the everlasting bullshit that's American high school, bumbling at modern devices and slang, avoiding his sister and dad of this universe, and trying to find his way home... he's just like, huh. It's nice to have a hot minute thats not being a child soldier. And thus begins Sokka's journey doing absolutely batshit insanity thinking its even remotely in the ballpark of normal which includes but is not limited to:
• Joining the cheerleaders thinking that they’re like the kyoshi warriors. Furthermore seeing the make-up and skirt as integral to the art. (He's not wrong, and pulls it off amazingly)
• Met in universe Zuko, whos currently a jerk, but isn't also a human flamethrower and literally hunting him down. Sokka's just normal about it while Zuko insistences they're rivals. They fight in the hallways at least once (less a fight and more of zuko frantically throwing punches and Sukka ducking and blocking with the utmost and infuriating chill.)
• Wants money. So what does he do? Goes to a karate competition. Wins. Then proceeds not to tell anyone. Not out of any actual secrecy but because this is pretty standard Gaang stuff back home.
Que the frantic sensei that arrives at the door answered by the very confused Katara and Hakoda.
•Gets more into martial arts and literally freaking everyone out. Turns out, spending the majority of your short little life fighting, keeping up with, beating, and trying to survive from not only full grown masters, but also masters that can control forces of nature plus maybe a spirit or two makes you pretty damn good at fighting.
• Casual parkour. Twenty-four seven. On roofs. Climbing up brick walls. Gravity defying jumps. Ridiculous reflexes.
Naturally the modern him that lands in his universe is just screaming 24/7. But hey, they both go home in the end. Canon sokka gets a break, modern sokka gets a crisis, as a treat.
A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.
His response: "No, it's my name now."
I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.
Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.
I made a quiz, its 36 questions, and y’all, I play-tested this, I got feedback, I hyper-analyzed, its good. I wasn’t like, I was gonna just let hogwarts houses die but apparently y’all be like,,, not knowing what a slytherin or hufflepuff is no shade and if all these quizzes are gonna ask you this question anyways: this is it. Idiot tested. Idiot approved
take it here! or copy paste if you need to https://uquiz.com/oz0xOu
PLEASE do in depth analyses of all of the houses for your quiz I was enraptured reading the gryffindor one and I didn’t even get gryffindor
JUST FOR YOU ANON, I am going to compile the sort of Final Breakdown of every house, in my opinion, that you get at the end of the quiz now. Theres more in-depth analysis of specific questions under each house’s tag on my blog, and you can feel free to ask more specifics of course bUT here is the masterpost of that c:
Keep reading
i'm not even the sort of person to dwell on lyrics or poetry usually but some of those lines hit so close to home that i really wish i had the patience and emotional capacity to go look up and read and think about more of their song lyrics
I think my personal favorites, from that quiz at least, are these:
“The truth is this: My love for you is the only empire I will ever build. When it falls, as all empires do, my career in empire building will be over” (this is the nonsense of love by mindy nettifee)
“We were born to try / To see each other through / To know and love ourselves and others well / Is the most difficult and meaningful / Work we’ll ever do” Atlas Nine by Sleeping at Last
“What is that? What is this? What is this? Huh? This is an encyclopedia containing the Latin names of the ugliest parts of my insides / I’m choosing to use it like a compass in times of peril.” Milo - An Encyclopedia
“The world digs a hole in your yard & its up to you to fill it, up to you to find something useful to do with your sadness.” - Outbound, Hieu Minh Nguyen
“Been up until dawn and all of my heroes are gone, babe / But I know they’re out there / I know they’re out there” Phantogram - Answer
“Then you hold life like a face between your palms, a plain face, no charming smile, no violet eyes, and you say, yes, I will take you I will love you, again” - Ellen Bass
“‘You dreamt of me?’ 'No, I thought of you’” (Portrait of a Lady on Fire)
I hope that at least gives you some options to think about without having to look them up yourselves! Thank you for enjoying the quiz and I am glad some of my little collection of favorite words meant something to you c:
Look i straight up need the reference of every single book and quote and lyric in this godforsaken quiz bc i never read such beautiful thoughts. I know most of them have the source in the quiz but if you could make a compilation? Like this is your thesis and I'm asking for the bibliography, like any normal human does after a uquiz. But honestly thank you for creating the quiz it was amazing!
hehe okay friend I’ve spent a couple minutes in a google doc and I’m pretty sure I’ve got all of it now so! Under the cut is that bibliography! This is honestly such a sweet ask and I’m sorry it took me so long to get back to it! I hope you enjoy and I’m so glad you liked the quiz. I honestly got a lot of the quotes from the poems or books I haven't read from @riperain so you should check her out if you’re interested in more!
The majority of my Sleeping at Last quotes come from Atlas Ennanagram but honestly I would recommend checking out the premise for the entirety of the Atlas project, mostly because I just think its basically the coolest fucking concept hehe
In terms of quotes we have:
“Then you hold life like a face between your palms, a plain face, no charming smile, no violet eyes, and you say, yes, I will take you I will love you, again” - Ellen Bass, the Thing Is
“As the image of myself becomes sharper in my brain & more precious, I feel less afraid that someone else will erase me by denying me love.” - Jenny Slate, this tweet
“The world digs a hole in your yard & its up to you to fill it, up to you to find something useful to do with your sadness.” - Hieu Minh Nguyen, Outbound
“I wanted to hurt you but the victory was that I couldn’t stomach it.” - Richard Siken, Snow and Dirty Rain
“‘I thought you had been scared off’ 'You were right. I am scared. Do all lovers feel they’re inventing something? I know the gestures. I imagined it all, waiting for you.’ 'You dreamt of me?’ 'No, I thought of you’” Portrait of a Lady on Fire
“The truth is this: My love for you is the only empire I will ever build. When it falls, as all empires do, my career in empire building will be over” Mindy Nettifee, This is The Nonsense of Love
“Should we go into it together / If I go into it with you I will never come out” (Margaret Atwood, from power politics: poems)
The books on my shelf I reference by title only are I Hear God Laughing a collection of poems by Hafez translated by Daniel Ladinsky, The Story Cure by Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin, How to Be a Good Creature by Sy Montgomery, Mister Miracle (my personal favorite comic) written by Tom King Illustrated by Mitch Gerads, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, All The Lives We Ever Lived by Katharine Smyth, and Stranger in A Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. I haven’t actually read Creature, Stranger, and All The Lives, but all the others I would definietly recommend (although perhaps look up content warnings first).
The Bo Burnham lyrics are from Art is Dead, Left Brain Right Brain, Can’t Handle This/Kanye Rant, A Song From The Perspective of God, and Are You Happy.
The playlist of the songs referenced can be listened to here (with a few fun others!)
And then, other than referencing the song Hannah by Freelance Whales and Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken (and obviously Harry Potter haha) all other writing is originally mine! I hope that helps and again its literally so sweet of you to ask and I’m so glad the quiz could connect with you! Have a wonderful day anon, and an even better one tomorrow c:
Sometimes classics can be improved upon.
