me: hey how long is this thing going to last

someone: haha you just want to know when you’re off the hook

me: hah

me: (actually i just need to allocate the right expectations and backlog of energy and make sure the rest of my day falls in good accordance with it so that i don’t feel time-crunched and propel myself into a hysteria because if i don’t know how long this thing lasts or when it ends i can’t possibly know when literally anything else starts and my entire life becomes an unraveled realm of anarchy with no rhyme or reason and how is that not terrifying to you)

me: hey how long will this take

someone: oh like twenty minutes

me: ok

*an hour later*

me: *clinging to every learned social skill i can think of with the desperate hope my distress and exhaustion doesn’t show*

someone: hey we’re almost done don’t be so crabby

me: *smiling* *internally screaming at this SENSELESS CHAOS*

someone: hey do you want to do [involving time-consuming thing]

me: hey that sounds fun! when were you thinking?

someone: oh we’re doing it right now

me: oh. like. now-now? like right now. like you want me to stop what i’m doing and get up and do this thing with you, suddenly, with thirty seconds of warning. now. like this second. immediately. now?

in literature this is called defamiliarization so congrats this post is officially a literary masterpiece  

In my house its called laundry! Thank you!

my rooster doesn’t crow when the sun rises, he crows when he hears humans wake up, like you can literally just roll over in bed and he’s like “hoLY SHIT THAT’S A PEOPLE THE HUMAN ISAWAKE AHHH AHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

the same rooster - god guys he’s so cute - he always lets hens eat treats first and won’t have any treats until they’ve had as much as they want, unless it’s a blueberry. shit, blueberries are like serious fucking business for Pharaoh. he’s a gentleman until the damn blueberries come out and then he don’t play no fuckin games

in case you were wondering this is him

It’s been almost a year since I made this post so I guess I should update you guys on Pharaoh!

He’s still a sweetie but with more attitude and will fuck up your shit if he’s grumpy or if you’re wearing shoes with shoelaces. He doesn’t like that. He watches Netflix with me a lot and cries anytime theres explosions or gunshots in a show. He has so many chicken lady friends who he adores and he has fathered 4 chicks. I tried to train him to walk on a leash but he protested by laying down and refusing to move, so we gave that up after a while. He likes to guard me from cars and squirrels, and even plastic bags (which are his worst fear)

Quality rooster

On the intelligence of Victor Nikiforov

I’ve discussed this topic a lot of times with @renaissancefic (Mallory) and @lookatthesetreasures (Graci) in relation to Victor being a Ravenclaw.

Personally, I dislike portrayals of Victor not going to university - not because I have concrete proof he has, since I do think Victor didn’t have time for university - but because, most times, this stems from the idea that Victor is not intelligent. There is a popular trend of making Victor seem less intellectual than he is, and it disturbs me how popular it is, since it goes directly against canon. Additionally, during the time that the retirement AU has gained traction, there was hardly any content dealing with Victor pursuing a degree of his own, even though a lot of fics have already deviated from the original format.

In the show, Victor has been labeled a genius numerous times, and yet it appears as though this is largely ignored to highlight Yuuri’s intelligence, as Yuuri’s attendance of university is indicated more explicitly within canon. I think this ignores a large part of Victor’s character, and, perhaps, may be symptomatic of viewing of sports and dance as non- or less-intellectual fields. 

Victor choreographs programs. One cannot just weave a story into dance without some sort of knowledge of narrativity and storytelling. It’s also not that reaching to assume that Victor is, as Graci put it, fluent in ballet and opera (aria and Lilac Fairy program). Graci also points out that St. Petersburg being a cultural capital makes it almost impossible for someone like Victor to not have “intellectual” pursuits, let alone be well-read.

Honestly, I see Victor as less competitive than Yuuri, but he’s been on top for five years because he is concerned less about winning and more on the enrichment and development of figure skating - his “field of study”, so to speak. As an argument against Slytherin Victor, Mallory pointed out that Victor structures his career not around ambition but artistic impression.

So, sure, Victor is silly and extra and enjoying himself around Yuuri, but it doesn’t make him any less intelligent.

I love this post, and just wanted to add that Victor is also canonically fluent in English and French as well as Russian, which has to have taken a certain amount of intellectual effort, both to learn and to maintain.

Garfield could eat my son.

for clarification, youre saying he has the capability? or that youd be cool with it?

Hi.

RELATIONSHIP GOALS

HOLY SHIT SO MANY NOTEEEEESSSSS

u know what makes me lowkey sad? when someone says ‘i know it seems silly’ before talking about something they clearly care very deeply about bc u know that means someone gave them shit for caring that much about that thing before which is Fucked Up.

or when they’re like “i know i talk too much, just tell me to shut up when u get tired” n they say it as a joke but u can see that they’re uncomfortable, n i get so sad n i wanna fight whoever made them feel like they’re not worth of being heard.

Then there are the people that straight up tell you you’re obnoxious.

Which happened to me recently.

Won’t I get in a lot of trouble if I get busted?

Being visible is the worst! Having a physical form is abominable! Public spaces are a nightmare! If you see me outside no you don’t!
