We know that Facebook is brainscorching your parents and tiktok is brainscorching your cousins, but some of you refuse to admit that you got your brain scorched here. However unlike those sites there isn’t an algorithm here you just make bad choices.
That’s all we ever wanted. To arrive at Hell as a result of our own dubious navigation skills instead of as the result of Satan owning all the road sign companies.
need people to understand like if youre my friend you should bother me anytime. call me randomly send me something you think is funny ask for help with an essay i literally do not care. i love you
vellamo is the goddess of water, lakes and seas. vellamo is said to be tall and beautiful, and is much respected by fishermen, who pray to her for good fishing luck. she can also control the winds to help sailors, and she controls the storms and waves. she has magical cows that live on underwater fields. sometimes, during the morning mist, she brings her cows above the surface to eat water hay. vellamo wears a blue dress that is made from sea foam.
The boomers are right about a lot of things. Even if sometimes they blame it on the wrong people.
Planned obsolescence is making everything terrible. Tipping is out of control, pay your damn workers a fair wage (still tip though, since that’s the system right now and they need that tip to live). Not everything needs to have an app, account, and subscription. Physical media is important. Social media is poisoning people’s minds (boomers included). America is dying (capitalism and nationalism being the main causes). Not everything needs to work off smart technology that’s a pain in the ass to use. And for fucks sake, give us buttons to push, I don’t know where the damn remote is.
And yes, fries come with the burger. Unless you’re ordering a la carte. A meal consists of more than just one item. Having sides prominently displayed that don’t come with it is just deceptive. That just leaves the workers to warn every damn customer beforehand before they (rightfully) complain. Also, sauce packs should be free.
bro not to start again on names but u ever think abt how some names have been used for centuries, millenniums even…like how many times has the earth heard a mother calling, ‘alexander!’…how many times have the stars caught a lover whispering, ‘freyja’…how many times has the ground we’ve walked on and continue to walk on felt vibrations of a friend excitedly yelling, ‘mary!’
#names are so amazing because everyone’s name is *theirs* but that name has been used thousands of times by so many people but right then and #there it is *their* name #and theirs alone [@flower-borne]

#how beautiful is it that we did our best to find the loveliest sounds the human voice can make #and assigned those sounds to one another #so that our whole identity is inexplicably linked to something made with love in mind [@honeytuesday]
+
#how ppl are named after family members; or after the things we love and that inspire us (hope; faith; not to mention all the non-english #names with meanings of beauty and kindness and intelligence; also how a lot of names have biblical or otherwise religious origin); how names #translate over countries and languages (mary/marie/maria/etc); how some don’t translate as well bc of linguistic differences (julia/yulia) [@maryolive]
+
#how names hold stories and history and how one name is enough to bring back memories! #how parents fondly choose a name because of the meaning and wish their child carries the legacy of the name forward #how we have silly nicknames for each other and it’s like here’s a part of you given to you from my side and now it’s ours #the name of your enemy is the name of my lover and both have spurned us so here we are grieving different people of same names [@ijaazat]
my favourite is historians i have met who have named a child after
something they glanced at on a historical record once, because it was the first
time they had heard the name - and hey they liked it
because it means in this world there is a little girl who is named
for a woman long gone. and that woman will never know this, and this girl will
never meet this woman. but they are connected by a few letters of handwriting
in an old book and hundreds of years
like there comes a point where you think something is fundamentally wrong with you. and then it turns out it’s just Friday and you haven’t washed your hair in three days and maybe you’re also just a little lonely and the combination of all three of those things is whittling a hole into your chest every time you breathe. but also the sun’s up. and you’ve survived everything so far, so you’ll survive this too, even if it hurts, even if you have to survive it many times.
annabeth has so much love to give. i think she’s the kind of person who’s always a little in love with all of her friends like. she doesn’t know how to cook, but she spends all saturday with sally trying to learn the recipes of all of percy’s favorite dishes and has an entire notebook dedicated for all of the little facts that she notices about percy, from big things like “today percy stayed up with estelle all night because she’s sick, because he said "she might be lonely”. reminder to do that when he’s sick too" to small things like “he scrunches up his nose when he’s worried” or “he wants to become a teacher someday”. annabeth only got to spend one birthday with thalia before she died so now she makes it a point to be there for all of her birthdays and makes the most elaborate handmade gift to ever exist. she’s dyslexic and can barely spell but she writes lines and lines of poetry about the way piper smiles and how her hair curls into little hearts the same way aphrodite’s does. every time she sees frank she actually Has to hug like like it’s an absolute necessity at this point and they have meetings at a small café in new rome every friday at 2 o'clock where they try to solve a 10,000 piece puzzle in a span of 4 hours and talking about everything and nothing. one time when she and connor were drunk they decided to get matching tattoos of each other’s initials and when they woke up in the morning percy couldn’t stop laughing at it but annabeth can’t find it in herself to be embarrassed (it’s also one of her absolute favorite stories to tell). she cannot for the life of her figure out how to keep a plant alive but she can and Will talk to the sunflowers and strawberries katie grows very very seriously like they’re actual real people because she knows how important they are to katie. every single kid at camp lovs her because she gives the best hugs and her hair always smells like lemons and she has always has candies in her pockets for them. on silena’s birthday she and clarisse go on a road trip, just the two of them to a cliff overseeing the sea because it used to be silena’s favorite place and they just sit there doing nothing, and annabeth grows familiar with the feeling of clarisse’s hand in hers. annabeth who always has a smile for everyone. annabeth who gives the best hugs. annabeth who loves so much
damn i didn’t think i was gonna cry tonight but okay-
i keep saying annabeth is one of my favorites and this is why
