Reminder that spring will always come back, music will never stop being created, and there are still so many books left to read! You’re alive! You’re alive! You’re alive!
Mutual combat laws should be a thing everywhere. Society would be so much calmer if everyone was aware that they're free to consensually beat the shit out of each other if both parties deem it necessary.
"I don't wanna bother you"
Have you considered that this is how your presence feels?
I just don’t get it. How can our society act so goddamned normal about seahorses. How can anybody so casually accept that that’s a fish???
This is one of nature’s most anatomically perverse of all beasts. A FISH, like a carp or a bass or a beta is a fish, but it bent its body straight up only to bend its head permanently back down. It stretched its skull into a pipe. It tapered its tail like a lizard, specifically like a chameleon. It can also move its eyes independently by the way, you know, like a chameleon. Fun fact, it can change color to express its mood, like you know whatever does that. It doesn’t properly swim anymore. It buzzes its few remaining fins like an insect’s wings to float itself around at a snail’s pace. It lives its whole life clinging to coral branches or seaweed, which means it decided to become a “tree dweller” in an environment where gravity didn’t even matter anyway. The males get pregnant. They make noises at each other by rubbing some of their neck bones together. Every day, EVERY DAY a mated pair does a little dance and a little neck bone song so they remember which two seahorses they were. They’re a beautiful precious obscenity. Nothing so adorable ever made such a strong case against a logical creator.
They have as little skin and meat as they could get away with. Their skeleton is almost all they are.
I know I said I would bake a fancy pie but life happened, and not in an entirely fun way
This is exactly what I meant earlier, btw.
"...from the scientific standpoint, we cannot say that magick is any more or less than a form of applied psychology...which helps us to attain a greater level of understanding and control over our individuality. It's good for you for many of the same reasons that meditation, yoga, mindfulness, etc. is good for you, it's just a more elaborate application of similar principles."
(i found this somewhere on the internet years ago and i can't find the original source)
playing through Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares II and i can't help but wonder if our playable characters are fae-based? and the only information i have to support this is that they're small, they're young, and they have weird powers
anyway this used to be the blog for my "Cognition Project" world-building exercise, so if you still wanted to see that go to @cognitionproject
there's a theory that the seven days of creation are metaphorical - to connect the attributes of the ancient Egyptian gods to a singular God. another theory is that the days themselves are metaphorical, and that each element of creation corresponds to the order of cosmic development.
there's a theory that early humans inhabited around water sources, and that eating sea food, rich in omega fatty acids, contributed to our mental development. the apple is a metaphor. we gained self awareness - and through it, existential dread.
there's a theory that our souls interact with the physical world at the quantum level, which dominoe-effects into the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing us to interact with our surroundings. isn't it strange that an electron changes its behavior just from our observation of it?
