loveless

what if we were just two ghosts haunting a castle together

Palpatine never stops getting obliterated by Padmé his entire life. Like imagine you’re trying to do evil advisor political things and then there’s this child queen cutting you off at the pass every time. Oh okay no worries you try and assassinate her but then she gets even more politically adept and then seduces and marries the guy you’ve been working really hard to groom. Rats! But no problem, because now she’s dead and you’ve succeeded in making her husband into your metal fleshmachine murdersub but—SURPRISE! Turns out she’d been hitting that freakazoid raw during every wartime conjugal visit and now you’re getting your ass kicked by not one but TWO of her kids, which, given they both have 50% of her DNA, is like kind of like getting your ass kicked by a genetically combined total of 100% Padme Amidala. Crazy.

Why does it feel weird and intimate to mention that someone was in even the most innocuous of your dreams? Sorry my subconscious decided to think about you for a second. You were a curator at an ice cream museum that was also my second grade classroom. If you even care.

the ellipsis is the most powerful of all the punctuation…so versatile…i’m pondering…i’m omitting…i’m implying…i’m trailing off…

ok sure fine

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

Sending my most reliable corporate staffer to Connecticut to shut down a Christmas tree farm. Wish me luck

I keep sending them, but they don't come back. I really just need to shut down this farm. Do you think I should go check it out

Can I go with? My fiancé, one of your reliable corporate staffers, who I was supposed to marry January 1st hasn’t been answering my calls either

Good idea. I'm sure if you remind her of your lucrative upcoming business deal she'll come back.

Dreamer's Gate in Collector, Australia by Tony Phantastes

colour palettes made entirely out of my pottery

I remember right before I started hrt I was constantly telling myself what if this is the wrong decision what if I’m confused what if I’m not really trans what if I’m actually one of the fake ones. and then I started HRT and it took like eight months for any visible changes to start happening anyway and by that point I had gotten over that existential dread. and now I’m over 3 years in and it rules. they force you to take a small dose to start out anyway so you’re basically just microdosing and at that level the changes are pretty marginal and reversible if you do decide after a couple months that you don’t want to continue. so just fuck itttt you know just dooooo it
