Here’s a guide of what I’ve determined the meanings to be

walking around - self explanatory

fellowship - hanging out with friends

deliciousness - having something tasty

transcendence - feeling that you have reached a different level of some sort; alternatively, when you do one of the other delights to the extreme and feel really good about it. (you know transcendence when it happens)

goofing - having a good laugh at smth

amelioration - working towards the betterment of something, for example, working on a skill you hope to improve

coitus - fuckin’

enthralment - becoming incredibly engaged in something, hyper focusing on something

wildcard - anything that you feel was a delight in your day that does not fit one of the above delights

watching game of thrones in random snippets from the other room is great. my favorite character is the facedancer guy training arya who keeps showing up like “hoo hoo hoo it’s me aren’t I mysterious? look at me. I’m dead. sike!!!” for no discernible reason other than to be fucking annoying.

I also like the bald eunuch who’s like I have to make cryptic melodramatic comments ever so airily or I will die right here right now

the x files + text posts part 4 (briefly considered looking up some revival screenshots for the last one but then remembered that the show only had 7 seasons and nothing after that. je souhaite was such a great series finale, wow)

1 2 3

mr. milchick ordering eustice huang to sacrifice something of hers for the “betterment” that awaits her after completing her wintertide fellowship and it’s her little plastic handheld game that has a swimmer trapped inside of it that she used to play with all the time and she is made to smash that game and figurine into broken pieces with the statue of the literal head of jame eagan in an episode that starts with helena eagan swimming in a pool surrounded by glass walls. which could mean nothing.

i have something rly mean to say about how this site refuses to engage with parts of storytelling that they personally abhor and while in mythic quest i hate the pregnancy storyline the fact that mark and gemma WERE trying to have children doesn’t lessen anyone’s characters, least of all gemma’s. but the idea that they can just strip a person of something as traumatic as a miscarriage and they don’t remember any of it! is fucking crazy!! and they chose this woman because she went to their fertility clinic, kidnapped her, tore apart her consciousness and trapped her in their basement all to try to conduct illegal experimentation of the human brain. i love u gemma scout by god am i getting you out of here

the shot of little miss huang in her earmuffs and with her backpack waiting for the evil school bus to take her away from everything she knows is so unbelievably sad.

ok now it is time to air my grievances with severance s2, a season of television i thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to every week. s2 is mr milchick putting on a spectacular drumline Just For Me and what do they get for it. trapped behind a vending machine (readmore cut) while i batter them with a trombone. classic ingratitude.

a couple years ago the eric carle museum of picture book art had an exhibit on diane & leo dillon who are responsible for so many iconic illustrations. i went back twice just to see the collection again. this is a sliver of their work— it’s hard to find high res images.
