Technically my first cousin once removed, but I feel that it counts. Plus it was recent and he met Zelenskyy
Currently obsessing over Peacemaker, in which a character I find attractive has his pinky toe cut off. I also really like OFMD, in which a character I find attractive has his pinky toe cut off.
What the hell is this?
I’m really glad that everyone is all collectively mourning Colin’s childhood with Laszlo… but… I’m pretty certain that he does remember and is just intentionally doing this to fed on Laszlo. Like, I do like Colin but this is his go to move
so… are the scars in the shape of autopsy incisions?
like that would make so much sense, bringing them back from the dead only to have them marked with the symbol of the death they couldn’t accept. I think that Brennan described a “y” shape at one point, which is the shape used to open up a body cavity for autopsy
i really need someone to tell me im not crazy
what a good day to remember that butch lesbians (ESPECIALLY trans, poc, and/or fat butch lesbians) aren’t fucking predatory

hi, you are one of my favorite blogs on this hellsite (affectionate)
im trying desperately to get better at the whole reblogging instead of just liking posts thing, since my social anxiety is high enough it also effects my social media lol
hell yeah i'm so glad you're getting better!! social anxiety is so real. i know for some people what has helped is being able to think "oh, hey, if i mess up or something bad happens, i don't know anyone here, so i can just delete my account and start over with no consequences". there's also the queue, which i know lots of people use for social anxiety.
but that may not work for you, and that's fine!!! good intentions and effort is half the battle <3
Ang Pau (红包) or Red Packet is a monetary gift given during holidays or for special occasions such as a wedding, a graduation, or the birth of a baby. Although the red envelope was popularised by Chinese traditions, other cultures also share similar traditional customs. The red packet is also called 压岁钱 (money that can suppress the demon) when given to children during Chinese New Year. This term, however, is now understood as “money given to children by their elders”.
Before stepping out of the house to visit relatives or friends this Lunar New Year, bring a pair of Mandarin Oranges (柑) with you. A traditional gift during Chinese New Year is the exchanging of a pair of mandarin oranges and the giving of red packet containing an even amount of money. Unmarried adults and children receive these red packets from married family members and friends in exchange of wishing them good health and fortune.
Pineapples are called “ong lai” in Hokkien and Cantonese, which literally translates to 旺来 or “fortune come”, hence their popularity during the CNY celebrations. It is considered lucky to have them during Chinese New Year and giving Pineapple Tarts (黄梨塔) as gifts symbolises good fortune and luck.
