To the tiny handful of followers I have, hi there~ To everyone else... same to you.
Feel free to call me Ves; I'm a nocturnal individual who rarely sees the sun. =D This is my personal blog and I tend to just reblog whatever I like or things I agree with. Usually you'll just find a whole pile of Pokemon, Aion, and other such randomness. On occasion I reblog things to show to friends who don't have a tumblr themselves, thus the seemingly random things on here as well.
Not sure what else to say in an about me section. .__. I'll listen to just about any kind of music in whatever languages, love Halloween (...but not the excessively scary and gory sort), I draw a lot but never post my randomness on Tumblr, I roleplay and have met some of my best friends through doing so, and should anyone upset them, I will eat that persons face. =) ...usually in a restrained, calm and dignified way. ...or perhaps literally. Who knows~
I play Aion on Siel as an Asmodian and Tiamat as Elyos~
On Tera I'm on Celestial Hills, with a few characters on Ascension Valley.
On Guild Wars 2, I'm on Tarnished Coast, quietly stalking Faryen. Or being stalked by her. I can't really tell.
I play Lord of the Rings Online on Brandywine. Yeeee wiiiine. ...Just don't touch the keg.
3DS Friend Code is 1177 - 8204 - 3776. I think. I have Pokemon Y and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I have Pokemon X, but haven't started it quite yet. I have a Normal-type Friend Safari with Lillipup, Minccino, and Ditto. =)
It appears to me a lot of people’s impression of Sherlock Holmes’ drug use out of context is “he’s running around solving murders while coked out of his mind” which is really funny BUT!
As someone who reads acd canon & has the autistic urge to correct people about my interests, I’d like to let it be known that he actually primarily uses drugs between cases, because he gets painfully bored with nothing to do, stating “my mind rebels at stagnation.” This is because he has adhd but the diagnosis hadn’t been invented yet. Anyway
This can still be funny because it means the rest of the time he’s acting like that while completely sober. He’s just quirky. He IS a cokehead but it actually calms him down. Because he needs adderall
You may hear “Sherlock Holmes does cocaine” and think “oh, that explains why he’s so fucking weird” but you would have it backwards. He does cocaine because he’s already just Like That. He does this specifically when he’s understimulated. They didn’t have adhd meds in victorian london he’s taking whatever stimulants are available. And That’s why he’s coked out of his mind. But Not while currently working on a case, because that keeps him busy
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
I DONT WANNA BE ON TWITTER PLEASE. THIS IS INHUMANE
Hm. There seems to be a movement of many websites, etc moving their navigation to the left hand side when it used to be elsewhere (usually the top). Hulu and I believe also HBO Max (now Max, but I digress) did this, though we got notifications in advance of it so it wouldn’t blindside us. This may be indicative of a broader trend, perhaps?
That aside, the trend to morph every single website into a new twitter/tiktok/etc is quite old.
I’m on mobile at all times, so I had to view screenshots. I’ve been on this site for, gosh, what… twelve years, almost? I’ve seen so many changes that I guess I’m just… immune now OTL
I remember someone saying “mad scientists in fiction aren’t scientists because there’s never a control group”
I think if you’ve created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir
I love to use my disability “as an excuse.” Fuck yeah my disability is an excuse. It’s the most valid excuse I have. I’m not helping you lift that box/etc because my disability would make it fucking painful. Not wanting to be in pain is a good enough reason. I’m not going to put myself in pain to comfort your sensibilities.
Yes I’m using my disability as an excuse because I refuse to hurt myself for you. If you’re mad about it you can cry! ❤️
Happy disability pride month.
In honor of my chronic pain flareup that I could’ve avoided by asking my wife for help here’s your reminder to say no to stuff when it is safe to do so!!Ask for help!!
This month practice saying “I can’t do that. It would hurt me.” or “can I have help with (x)?” Start with a friend or family member who you feel comfortable asserting your boundaries with and keep saying no.
Preach! It’s always okay to ask for help. It’s always okay to say no.
If for any reason you’re not in a safe position to ask for help or say no due to family or a partner denying your health issues… I feel for you. Screw those people. I can only recommend trying to find ways to make your pain easier to deal with when being forced to do whatever BS the ignorant asshats are making you do. For me, a big one was vacuuming (back when no one listened to me). The vibration wrecked my wrists. The back and forth agitated my knee (now replaced). A wrist brace didn’t fully save my wrist, but it helped. Biofreeze helped my knee. Since sometimes, unfortunately, there are people out there who just don’t care.
