Hi, I'm Kat. I reblog whatever the fuck I want here. Once in a blue moon I'll come out of my cave and actually post something myself.

If I had to pick one line that is at the heart of the movie, it's this one.
The movie (rightfully) comes right out and asks you to think about Grace, to fill the blank in the way people talk about her and see her as a full-fledged person who was suffering horribly. In contrast, it leans on the Creepy Little Girl aesthetic for young Martha and plays the emotional impact all this had on her close to the chest - until this line.
Prentice was like a father to her, the person she loved and most respected in the whole world. And he killed himself right in front of her, out of spite for his daughter. No matter what devotion Martha would heap on him, she would never be more worth living for than hurting Grace was worth dying for. She's what, 11 then?
Of course she lords this over Grace. This one way in which she can feel like she's been chosen (when it reality she's been very much abandoned instead). She is childishly hanging onto something that makes the loss and the horror feel like it can be Worth something. A way in which she is loved.
Her whole life, she clings to that: the good one, not the bad one. If she's not tied to the image of the 'Harlot Whore', does she even exist?
And maybe she doesn't. It's a running gag that she goes unnoticed. The Church is hers, she runs all of it, but she is unseen. The Good One doesn't seek attention. The Good One doesn't desire.
The Good One is a perpetual child even in her 70s, innocent to the point of parody. The Good One doesn't know what a penis looks like, she is not a whore, she does not desire! (Rocket ships, what a funny scene! Surely not saying anything about her lifelong torment!)
The Good One cannot do anything but sneak a small smile when the man she loves displays his desire for her. But she can't want back.
She has to deny herself, so she can believe her father would still love her. Else, what has it all been for?
#look at my detective dawg we are NOT solving this case
they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"
It's not a cure but you have no idea how many times this image has helped me with my OCD
On sonic images that help with mental health, this one genuinely helped me more than i would like to admit
this one has legit helped so much with my mental and physical disabilities. Do you know how often some bullshit happens and I sigh and say "but we move"
can you lie on your character sheet if it’s funny
yes hello this is my character his name is…. Farmer Peasant…. his background is he is…. a peasant…. he HATES the tyrannical boy king, the concept of nephews, and sleeping on the ground. He was forced to flee his… village… after a failed attempt to lead a… people’s uprising against the wicked king. Now he travels with his faithful… farmhand… seeking some sort of magical relic that might allow him to restore… justice… once and for all… very painful justice…
his skills include
he is, um, a powerful wizard. no he doesn’t have any books or scrolls and he can’t pronounce the more technical magical words and never has to prepare his spells. but that’s because of his salt of the earth upbringing.

THE AI DUMPED HIM
they just keep creating new lows for incels lmao
Fun fact, The Questing Beast of Arthurian Legend is the result of people attempting to describe what a giraffe was, then being explained and drawn by people who have never actually seen it.
The Questing Beast was said to have a head and neck of a snake (long neck), body of leopard (coat pattern), hind legs of a lion (tufted tail) and feet of a deer (”hooves:).
I’m having emotions at this artwork. It’s caught between fright and awe; fascination and fear.
Behold, a unicorn.
He got two horns tho
*record scratch*
*music starts back up*
Albrecht Dürer drew this Rhino Unicorn 1515 purely based on descriptions of people who had actually seen one. He got it pretty close, though.
"Listen," one guard said, "I know we have only just met-"
"No," the other guard said, "we've worked together for years!"
"-but you can trust me when I say-"
"I can't, you have the curse that's opposite from mine!"
"I don't care for you at all."
"Well, I… oh… I love you too."
i dont make comics often but this was too cute.
As I gaze at the structural column in Copley Station, cracked nearly in two and held together with zip ties that have been carefully painted over to match the column underneath, I feel my soul intertwined with that of a small Italian boy of days gone by, who also stopped to look up at a large, groaning, newly painted tank full of molasses
I feel that some non-Boston people think I may have been exaggerating this. While I did not snap a photo as I was on the train, someone else did several months ago. I do want to stress that this column is now freshly painted and therefore completely structurally sound and in absolutely no danger of causing the entire tunnel to collapse. And yes, it did in fact never cross my mind that the original post was nearly 105 years to the day of the Molassacre
This is so safe this is the safest I’ve ever felt good job mbta gold star
Happy Molassacre Day everybody I'm still alive
Because it's been a while, I must share with you the important update that the column is now hidden behind plywood, because the mbta believes in peekaboo rules of engineering
We're still catching sunlight throughout the rest of Femininomenon’s creation period!
Page artist Tay is crafting up something special for Belle the Tinkerer! With Tay's creativity, Belle will have her own moment in the sun!

Thoughts on Starfleet Academy?
I think last time I asked something regarding like Discovery you said you weren't keeping track of all the newer modern trek, and I was wondering if you've heard the news and seen all the newest stuff.
Personally for me it just kind of looks like more of the same weird up and down stuff we've been getting for the past little while now, I think it just looks very dull on all fronts. Doesn't help that they're advertising it using clips from all the old shows.
I am... cautiously optimistic. But, like, barely. I only just finished watching season 3 of Strange New Worlds a couple days ago and... whew man it was Not Good. I have often joked that Star Trek is actually fantasy wearing a sci-fi trench coat, but the way season 3 ended was a bit too much of that, even for me. I am hoping for something like a return to form where the show actually feels like sci-fi again and for characters to be more fleshed out again but the overall downward trend is not encouraging.
