For those of you with anxiety

here’s a website that translates the time into hexidecimal colours,

here is a website where you can create your own galaxies

here is a website where you can play flow

here you can interact with organisms in different environments to see how to music changes

here you can play silk which is an interactive generative art designing website.

Here is a website where you can travel along a 3D line into the infinite unkown

Have you seen Luigi?

This. I love this. I live for this.

Six The Musical Headcanons - Kathrine Howard:

-AroAce, don’t fight me on this, I can totally understand and see the other head canons about this but to me thinking about Kat being in a romantic relationship in her second life or having crushes just does’t sound right because of all the romantic and intimate relationships she was pressured into in her past one (no I’m not saying she’s AroAce cause of the trauma, although it could possibly push her towards repulsed, I think it’s because she never really wanted a romantic intimate relationship all she cared about was just having a bond with someone or feeling loved or important or a place in life)

-Once she was reincarnated, I totally head canon that it wasn’t Anne she got close to first but rather Jane (not counting Anna who she already knew), Anne was probably a little too overwhelming for Kat first also including all the screaming matches she probably got into with Catalina. Jane with her maternal instincts probably slowly but surely drifted to the scared 17 year old to offer some help and Kat who was still shy and scared quickly got attached to the maternal figure

-Anne definitely got close to Kat just later when everyone ended calming the frick down, or in Annes case finally letting the chaotic side. Very common conception but Anne makes the chaos and Kat helps her out with it, the beheaded cousin just became the trouble and chaos cousins

-PTSD, I know no one will argue me on this one, the repeated reoccurrence of such traumatic events for Kat having happened to her by 4 different people, definitely made the girl come with scars into her next life.

-Nightmares, I know I also won’t be argued about this one, most of the queen household is commonly plagued by nightmares especially Kat, who commonly ends up in Jane’s or Anne’s room in the middle of the night if the other queens don’t find her first

-History nerd, with all the historical facts she knows in the musical, I like to imagine in my head that when it’s her turn to chose something to watch for queen movie nights, she chooses this intense historical documentaries with the guy with the British accent in the background

-She hides behind Jane or a different queen if Jane isn’t present when she’s anxious (or if a man is too close for her comfort)

-Hates being treated like a child, sometimes the queens can mistake her need for extra help as a need to smother her which Kat hates. But all the queens have a talk about this and they agree to give her space and remember that she’s an equal. (Although Kat doesn’t complain about all the extra attention she gets from Jane)

-Really enjoys hot chocolate, Jane makes sure to always keep it stocked because the last time when Kat ran out it was not pretty

-Yes I’m all about mother figure Jane to Kat, but I’m also all about Older sister Figure Anne, and other mother Catalina to Kat because Kat deserves all the love and positive older figures

-Kat has everyone wrapped around her finger even though she doesn’t completely understand it, she cried once in front of everyone and magically a pile of stuffed animals appeared in her room (they were from Cathy and Catalina)

-Kat also enjoys reading (though not nearly as much as Cathy) but will sometimes have little book clubs or talks with Cathy cause Cathy wants someone to talk about the books with and Kat is more than happy to indulge

-Once Kat warms up to everyone she becomes the resident cuddler, clinging to any unsuspecting queen in the household, even Catalina, who the first time initially almost shoved Kat off but with the look of adoration in Kat’s eyes didn’t have the heart to do it

-During Six performances for All You Wanna Do, the first time a swing performed with them, Kat shoved them off before the given beat and almost had to run offstage from the panic (although was able to last until Mega Six, where she got lots of Hugs, reassurances, and help after from her family and the swing even)

Thats all for today about the pink queen 🩷🩷🩷

i need to talk about the bad kids and the weight they carry from their parents. because all of them have baggage, whether they know it or not, and it's high time we had a conversation about it.

we all know kristen and adaine's parents fucked them up, but the truth, and maybe this is an immutable truth about the world and all worlds in general, is that every kid bears the weight of their parents' expectations on their shoulders. sometimes the burden is well-disguised; sometimes the pressure is mitigated by a loving relationship — but there's always baggage, and the bad kids are all so used to dragging it along that they don't even realize they're carrying it.

fabian's is easy to recognize. not a day goes by that fabian doesn't think of his father. of what his dad, his treasured papa, not only wanted but expected of him. fabian grew up under the pressure to write your name on the face of the world, to become not just good but Great, to be more than a man — to become a legend, maximum legend, to get it tattooed onto your neck so you never forget your goal, because this is the only way to make your father proud and maybe if you're just like him then your mother will decide to be your mother again. she promised to be better and then she abandoned you. she failed you completely in every way imaginable and her solution was to try again. maybe this child will grow up with a loving mother. maybe she'll get it right this time. but not fabian. fabian doesn't get love, he gets pride, and there's only one way to ensure that his parents are proud.

fig is staggering under the immutable knowledge that she was the catalyst to her parents' divorce. that all of this could have been avoided if she had just never been born. she has so much anger, and it started out directed towards sandra lynn, but now she knows it's anger towards herself, for daring to exist, for ruining a marriage and a life by the crime of being born. poor gilear, saddled with the knowledge that his only daughter isn't even his. and yeah, her mom is a fuckup, but at least that's because of choices she made. fig would have to be in control of her actions to be a fuckup - instead she keeps BEING controlled, from the Dominate Person that led her to nearly sacrifice riz down to the very simple act of being the unplanned child of an affair. she's worse than a fuckup: she's a curse. a plague. and all three of her parents would have been better off if she'd never existed.

wilma and digby thistlespring tried so hard to raise a happy kid. they didn't believe in the stereotypes about half-orcs. not our kid, they said. how could a child of ours be angry? but gorgug is so angry sometimes, and he barely has the language to explain that, much less the skills to manage those emotions. he was so loved, so doted upon, and he tried his best to be the gentle giant, but somewhere along the way he failed, and his parents had no plan for a system malfunction. why would they? wilma and digby never met a bad feeling they couldn't sing their way out of. gorgug could be like that, too, if he tried. if he put his mind to it. it's his fault that he can't keep his rage under wraps. and his parents love him, but they don't understand him, and that hurts them. gorgug is hurting them. the very nature of his being hurts them. he tries to mold himself into the shape of a perfect son, but like everything else in his life, it doesn't fit - he can't give them what they want; he can't become what they devoted all this time to nurturing. he is big and brash and bubbling over with rage sometimes, despite all of his parents' best efforts to teach him temperance and good-naturedness and how to be small, smaller than your body can be, how to tuck in your limbs and take shallow breaths so your bed doesn't break again (again, again, again) and he tries and he tries. it's never enough. he will never be the perfect son, so maybe there's no point in trying at all.

and riz. sklonda. look, how could he not be just like his dad? dad was a badass secret agent, the kind of person riz could only dream of being. he doesn't want to scare mom, but why shouldn't he want to be like dad? except sklonda is scared. she raised him, terrified of what would happen when he learned the truth. his rock, his confidant, his second-best friend (let's be honest, maybe first) — he can't worry her. she has enough on her plate; he can't be a problem for mom. so riz gets really good at taking care of himself. when she can't make it home for dinner, riz knows how many minutes the freezer dinner needs in the microwave. when she can't pick him up from school, riz knows where the nearest bus stop is. and he can't stop solving mysteries, but he can reassure her that he's safe, whether or not it's true — because she needs him to be safe, and riz can't be a problem. he has to be fine. he makes a living being fine. sure, he's in jail for months for a crime he didn't commit, but he's fine. he got kidnapped and almost ritually sacrificed, but he's fine now, mom. i saw dad and he was tortured within an inch of his celestial life and i was almost killed in Hell, but it's fine, mom, because dad is an angel, how cool is that? the important thing is that sklonda can always count on her boy. she can trust him to understand adult things, like the fact that they're poor, and that her demotion might spell bad things for riz's future, and his only shot now is to have a really beefed up transcript so he can maybe get good scholarships, and yeah, that's a lot — god, that's a lot, on top of the harrowing mystery unfolding this year — but. riz is fine.

there's a freedom in hating your parents, in knowing unequivocally that they were bad at being parents, perhaps bad at being people at all. everyone agrees that the abernants were vile, disgusting examples of people at all, much less parental figures. nobody is leaping to the applebees' defense. they failed their children, and their children owe them nothing.

but fabian, fig, gorgug, riz — it's harder when you love the people who raised you. it gets to feeling like the problem is you. like if you were different, if you were better, if you tried a little harder or did something a little differently, then things would be perfect, and that weight you stagger under would go away. if fabian weren't so sentimental. if fig weren't a tiefling. if gorgug weren't so angry. if riz weren't so reckless. you love your parents, and you owe them everything, and this is the least you could do. so why aren't you doing it? why can't you? why are you carrying this weight in the first place?

these four have parents who love them. but that doesn't mean their parents can't also have hurt them. it's inevitable; you grow past the expectations of your parents, and then into something new, something entirely your own, but the bad kids are still growing. they are loved. but they are burdened. both things can be true.

One of the many reasons why i love emily.

I am proud to know where this picture comes from

When I was a kid I thought there were so many more swear words than there are. But in actuality we get like. ten before it just turns into slurs. Deep down, I’m still disappointed.
