I Had A Dream That The Three Graces On My Arm Continued Into An Entire Back Piece Of Other Renaissance

terrible dream triple feature in one night. chipped my tooth, a strange sex dream and then the worst, my headphones broke!!! all of them felt so visceral too. like damn i cant even find peace when im sleeping.

emojis are a slippery slope, a misty veiled forest a vague quagmire of sex jokes and misinterpretation. that being said this one is so awesome 🐦‍🔥

you guys are so annoying. why do i have to see discourse every year that's like "was tolkien really a woke king or was he your conservative uncle?" the guy was a devout catholic and a genteel misogynist who maintained lifelong friendships with queer people and women, and this isn't even paradoxical because that was part of the upper-class oxford culture he was immersed in. tolkien told the nazis to fuck off (and in doing so demonstrated a real understanding of what racism is and why it's harmful, beyond simply "these guys are bad news because they're who my country is at war with right now") but his inner life was marked by internalized racism that is deeply and inextricably woven into the art that he made. he foolishly described himself as an anarcho-monarchist, and it's kind of crazy to see people on this website passionately arguing that he likely never meaningfully engaged with anarchist theory, because...yeah, no shit, of course he didn't. tolkien didn't have to engage with most sociopolitical theory because as an upper-class englishman of his position, he was never affected by any of the issues that this theory is concerned with. what is plainly obvious from reading both his fiction and letters is that tolkien's ideal political system was that the divinely ordained god-king would rise up and rule in perfect justice and humility; he didn't want a government, he wanted a king arthur, even though (obviously) he was aware that outcome was impossible. why is it so hard for people to accept that he was just some guy! his letters aren't a code you have to crack. no amount of arguing or tumblr-level analysis is going to one day reveal a rhetorically airtight internally consistent worldview spanning jrrt's fiction, academic work, and personal writings, thereby "solving" the question of whether he was a woke king or your conservative uncle. his ideology was extremely inconsistent because, at the end of the day, he was just some guy.

sometimes you do something too intimate with someone and then youre left feeling weird the next day even though there is no reason to 0_o like cant i just be normal bro

i know quite a few people who would benefit from something akin to this

dream about dead dog bruh wtf

i miss my dog so much. shes gone now and theres obviously nothing i can do about that but o my god. my mom likes to say the dog helped raise my brother and i. she was so little when we got here. i was 9, and she died this summer. she had been a part of my life for more than half my time on earth. and now shes gone and its not fucking fair. i have accepted that she is gone but its so hard to think about her being in pain, no animal deserves that. she died peacefully though, and thats all i can ask for.
