just a reminder as studios and media conglomerates begin to weaponize fandom to fight labor strikes: livable working conditions are and always will be more important than getting more episodes of your favorite tv show
ungrounding techniques. what do you not see. what don't you hear. close your eyes and imagine something really scary in front of you. spin around until you are dizzy then scroll on your phone for 3 hours straight.
rip harrowhark nonagesimus you would have LOVED having road rage
thinking about harrow's little aus. thinking about her absolute conviction that she would love gideon under any circumstances. if gideon usurped her then harrow would love her. if they met as adults and gideon was her social superior then harrow would love her. if gideon was serving her coffee then harrow would love her. i will love you if i never see you again and i will love you if i see you every tuesday etc etc.
one of the more fucked up things about the locked tomb to me is that none of these characters have ever been in the woods. up until that one scene in harrow NONE of them had experienced Tha Forest. not in the morning or in the evening or ANYTHING. deciduous OR coniferous. y’all wouldn’t be acting like this if you’d ever been surrounded on all sides by trees breathing oxygen and carbon dioxide back and forth to each other in a cycle older than god himself. touch moss
We thought my grandma had a tumor in her heart and it turns out she was born with a small hole in her heart (she was born at home in rural Appalachia in the early 1940s and had two older sisters who died within days of birth, spotty childhood medical care) and her body somehow fixed it. Built up scar tissue until her heart no longer had a hole. She gave birth to two children, lived a normal life and only had this diagnosed in her 70s. How cool is that? How badass is the human body?
My great grandma cut her leg and contracted tetanus in the 1930s and survived lockjaw untreated. It kills about 25% of the people it infects. It’s crazy to me that if either of these ladies weren’t so strong and badass, I wouldn’t be here.
It’s weird to think that your existence on this earth is dependent on a whole lineage of ‘near misses’ going back through eternity. A young lady falling in a stream while doing the washing and managing to pull herself out before her many shirts weighed her down and drowned her. A young man contracting the plague and being a part of that rare population that survived it, living the rest of his life knowing death was so very close. A man being shot with an arrow in war and laying fevered for weeks before his body fought off the infection and he hobbled home to his wife. A little baby girl being so fevered she loses her hearing but recovers and goes on to lead a full life. And backwards further. A young Neanderthal boy breaking his arm quite badly and being unable to hunt but being loved and cared for just the same. A little human girl wandering off and losing toes to frostbite 60000 years ago but returning home to her family and surviving. Surviving.
one of my ancestors fucking fell off the mayflower
i like drawings of harrow in her sick bone corset and very cool robes but every time they mention lace i just start picturing this outfit in all black
imo jod does not catch enough heat for leaving the first house abandoned. like he set up colonies on every planet in the solar system except the one people can actually survive on. there’s all those fuckin trees and no one to look at them. bitches are spending their entire lives in the DARK AND INHOSPITABLE CENTER OF PLUTO and the earth is just like jod’s vacation home in st pete’s. and for what? so they don’t discover his little secrets?? bc he thinks people would inevitably kill it again?? grow UP bro
things i think harrowhark nonagesimus would have liked about the 21st century:
- five hour energy
- noise cancelling headphone
- new yorker black puffer coat with big hood
- great courses on cd-rom
- rock tumbler
- buttered noodles
gideon would enjoy almost everything abt the 21st century but especially boxing gyms, weed vape, doja cat, heelys, and the experience of shopping at lush
