mY GOD IM SORRY IF I REOPENED OLD WOUNDS WITH THAT ASK IT WAS NOT MY INTENTION OH MY LORD IN HEAVEN THAT IS HORRIBLE KADSFJLADJS

Oh my god lol no you’re fine, tbh the commune situation was an unmitigated disaster but…like…sitcom-esque, in a way. I just currently have no filter and kind of aimlessly rambled in the tags for a while, which, yeah, looking back over them definitely seem pretty grim? But like no one died and they were mostly good people, just Very Confused About Life, it had its definite downsides but I’m also not exactly bearing trauma from the experience. Honestly, you’re totally fine.

Although on the other hand it’s given me some weird reference points for the world. Example: I can tell you the logistical maximum number of family units who can live in any given house, which is remarkably useful.  I can also spot a cult at 50 paces, which is helpful, and I’m implicitly familiar with what can be managed with holistic remedies and what really does require a medical intervention.

#also i'm really sorry to post this publically but for some reason tumblr isn't letting me answer privately #BUT ANYWAY YES FOR REAL I PROMISE I AM NOT SCARRED BY THOSE FIVE YEARS I SPENT IN A CULT #well i mean in the literal sense my lung tissue is a little scarred #but honestly and for realsies i generally view most of the stories out of the commune as highly comedic #...which to be fair is not a reliable sentiment from me because as my best friend recently pointed out #i can and will make a joke about anything #and my sense of humor is...p grim and gallows humor-y #but honestly i'm not traumatized #i'm just a little skeptical of people who approach me with essential oils as a medical solution you feel me #although if you ever do want to see me Go Off about the commune ask me about astrology and get comfortable #i'll give almost anything the benefit of the doubt but either astrology isn't real or i'm breaking the laws of the universe #or at least so i have been told several times #for perspective: i'm a pisces #trust me we're all confused #...is it terrible that 100% my first response to this ask was 'lol trust me any issues i have from the commune are small fry' #yeah probably #i think i have mentioned that my family is The Worst which is how my parents (when they were young and dumb) wound up in the commune #yeah sorry about that when i'm tired and anxious i forget that my usual tone of amusement about the matter #doesn't come across via text #but rest assured i am amused by like 95% of what went down in the commune #time and distance etc etc but that being said i will never move into a commune ever again and i recently spotted a cult for a friend #so like #at least i left it with some life skills
psst, would you accept a positive vibes spell from your local bored-with-no-idea-how-to-use-their-spell-time witch? wanted to ask before hand in case youre not confortable with the idea! love your blog and your tag rantings!!

My dude, I’m usually very wary of that sort of thing, but listen, I am taking the MCAT in literally under 36 hours, I’ll take whatever you’ve got.  Have at it.

#fuck the mcat and all its nonsense tbh #i'm just wary because i grew up in a commune that drifted dangerously toward cult #it's not personal #i just grew up around people who definitely had more Aspirations than common sense if you get me and it wasn't great for my health #i'll give most things the benefit of the doubt at the very least but i'm a strong believer in Not Opening Doors You Can't Control Or Close #and that was fucking RIFE in the commune #not to mention some literal medical issues #like listen...lavender might be good for bruises but ice is better cheaper faster and more reliable #crystals are great but if your infant hasn't urinated in three days it's time for a doctor not some quartz #re: the doors thing do not do tarot readings for ten-month-olds when you're basically a gaping wound of mental/emotional trauma #that sort of thing #i have Some Stories #interestingly i'm a very reliable tarot read #by which i mean ever since that first one when i was Smol i've gotten pretty much the same configuration #always the tower usually death often the chariot and/or judgement #the tower is My Card even if i pull at random that's the one i end up with #which should say some things about me as a human i guess #...my friends don't let me touch their tarot cards apparently it does some stuff to them #yeah anyway i'm just wary because of that situation which was (as i said) literally bad for my health #i was not the infant in question re: the crystals though that was my childhood best friend #I DIGRESS CAN YOU TELL I'M ANXIOUS AS FUCK #I'M PRACTICALLY VIBRATING WITH IT #anyway anyway the point is that you're fine go for it #if there was ever a moment for the universe to shower me with positive vibes this would be the one #anonymous #asked and answered

i just find the animorphs books dedication to body horror so charming. like, there was no reason that having kids turning into animals had to be horrifying and gross every time they did it. but ka applegate was apparently like, “no, this is what the children want.”

#it just numbed me to the concept of body horror tbh #at least of that variety #there are a few things that will still get me pretty shook up but it's...like...exclusively dentist-related so i claim trauma on that one #but yeah no i wandered onto someone's blog this morning and encountered a woman with tentacles erupting from her mouth #and i was just like 'sure dude if that's your thing whatever' and went on my merry way #wondering why it was tagged as body horror in the first place #animorphs

Dear the other two people on this site who don’t watch GoT,

How you doing?

Inadvertently watching almost all the show passively via gifset, how’re you?
