There is a lion running around Berlin (not directly in the city dw) and so far it has not been found and they don’t even know where it escaped from, so it was likely kept illegally

Me, plunking Stinky Bastard Man’s carrier on the counter: hi he’s here for shots and a nail trim and he’ll need to be sedated

Nurse: Are you sure? We can try-

Me: he needs to be sedated

Nurse: Well, it’ll take longer-

Me: he needs to be sedated, he will try to rip your face off

Nurse: Well we’ll try without first and we’ll let you know if we need to sedate

Me, watching her carry him away: you will need to sedate him

Nurse, coming back 10 minutes later clutching her hand: so, we will need to sedate him

Since this post blew up and people have asked for this villain’s record, here are some of Stinky Bastard Man’s more heinous crimes:

• Screamed so loudly with such unbridled fury the one time he wasn’t sedated at the vet that he caused a little girl in the waiting room to burst into tears
  
• Ripped an escape hole in the patio screen door in a single night
  
• Snuck into the garage overnight where he managed to pull down his massive food bag from the top shelves, ripped it open and ate so much he couldn’t/wouldn’t move when we found him in the morning  
  
• Learned how to open the laundry cabinet to sleep on the clean towels
  
• Learned how to open doors, thus allowing the dog to follow in after who then eats from the trash
  
• Bats off anything on our windowsills that gets in the way of his sitting. Current succulent casualty count: 4
• Thankfully cannot open the bedroom door due to rusty mechanisms, but managed to slip in one night when it wasn’t fully closed. Jumped down from my windowsill squarely onto my stomach, leaving me to bolt awake screaming from the blow and convinced I was under attack
  
• Tricked me into loving him forever anyway

made this poll because a few months ago I was at a potluck and someone made a reference and my siblings and I were the only ones who got it! and we were the youngest people there so now I’m wondering whether this group was an anomaly or

reblog for sample size pls I’m incredibly curious

I wasn’t actually expecting any answers when I made that post but damn this is really helpful, thank you <3

maulusque:

here’s what i’ve figured out so far:

-gotta have eat first

-gotta sleep enough first

(seriously so many days i’m like “i have all afternoon I’ma Do a Thing” and then i just kinda buzz around and do Nothing and think “WHY” and then i’m like “oh yeah i’m really fuckening tired”)

-gotta be Excited About It (ADHD brain only does things if they’re Literally the Most Interesting Thing Happening Right Now) (so like, hype yourself up to work on a project, or think about how happy you’ll be with a cleaner room/all those chores done)

-gotta have small, doable first step (like, “get cloth from fabric drawer” or “open google docs”

-FUCK distractions (computer is in drawer, phone is Off)

-Engage the Senses (if task needs Brain, play vague background Music, if task needs No Brain, listen to audiobook/podcast)

-maybe set time limit so i don’t get lost??? e.g. i have a little egg timer that i use because the ticking isn’t distracting but is enough to remind me that Time is a Thing that is Passing Right Now

-gotta have Self Awareness and Thinky about the Moment (get into the habit of Consciously Noticing what you’re doing at the moment, so you’re more likely to go “wait, this isn’t what i wanted to be doing” and be able to redirect)

-be willing to redirect and try to do something else if whatever you want to do Just Isn’t Happening

-DON’T beat yourself up for only doing part of something, or failing entirely- all that does is make your brain associate “trying to do stuff” with “well that SUCKED”. Which means you don’t want to try again. Tell urself u did good for trying, and if it didn’t work, try again later, or figure out why it didn’t work and try a different way. Reward yourself for trying

this is what i’ve figured out about cajoling the Thinky No Worky Brain into Doing Stuff. it’s not 100% reliable, especially if I forget to do some of these things (like SLEEP), but it’s what i got, ya know??

its-captain-sir:

I gotta ask, how do people, like, do stuff???

….I think I’m a little bit bonkers about calendars and languages

ok! curiosity has been expressed so, Discord rant with slight edits for spelling and clarity:

this rant inspired by this post

-

I have thought SO MUCH about the calendar AND LANGUAGES for this world, Dedanan

Like obviously the books are written in English bc I’m only fluent in English

BUT

it’s not English in-universe

First time Alli (MC) meets Gwen (girl from our world), she doesn’t know what she’s saying. Another character uses a translation spell that means I don’t have to worry about it BUT OH MY GOSH I JUST REALIZED IDIOMS WOULD BE SO INTERESTING IDK IF THE SPELL TRANSLATES THE MEANING I MEAN PROBABLY BUT–!!!

ahem

And the calendar thing

Like first thing I figured out was that it’s a different year in Dedanan than here. They don’t have a Jesus, so no reason to count years from his birth

They count years from the defeat of the Big Bad who took over the world and the ending of his empire

(which, interestingly and unintentionally, makes their calendar a few centuries younger than the Jewish calendar)

Also I have had SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE MONTHS but unfortunately they usually end up confusing me and I have been using the months of the Gregorian calendar but with a different first month of the year, for simplicity’s sake

(That month was March, but considering how I’m diving back into Celtic mythology and how much influence it already has on Dedanan (the world’s name, Arawn’s name, Camelot, etc etc) I’m considering making that February)

but also they don’t even have the same months as we do, why would they, so even this is only a translation for simplicity and my own sanity and also possibly something Gwen or another portal keeper figured out

(end discord part, now extra ramble)

like listen LISTEN calendars are

like this right here! *gestures at calendar* This is a culturally significant thing! This shapes the way people think about time! And scheduling ANYTHING and holidays and workweeks etc etc etc it’s ALL based around this human creation of which we have several different ones and some of them are based on solar cycles and some lunar and solar and but like LOOK

it’s so

damn

arbitrary

There’s a natural cycle, one rotation of the earth around the sun. There’s a natural cycle, one full lunar cycle. There’s a natural cycle, dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn. Everything else? Everything else WE INVENTED. We invented hours! Minutes! Seconds! Weeks! Decades! Centuries! We arbitrarily decided that a month isn’t exactly one lunar cycle (I think this is because lunar cycles include decimal days, they’re not evenly 28 or 29 days it’s like 28.5 but don’t quote me on that). And to add an extra little surprise day every four years so our little human-made calendar can keep up with the sun’s cycle!

And we decided that each season has an arbitrary Start Day which might not always and often doesn’t correspond to when it starts feeling like that season! And this guy a long time ago just up and created two months to add to the calendar??? like who does that

And! When it started! The most commonly used calendar today supposedly starts with the birth of Jesus BUT IT MIGHT ACTUALLY NOT HE MIGHT’VE BEEN BORN A DIFFERENT YEAR AND ALSO THE MODERN VERSION OF THIS CALENDAR WAS CREATED IN 15SOMETHING ITS NOT EVEN THAT OLD

APPARENTLY I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS THANK YOU FOR ENCOURAGING ME @nerdragons-hoard

anyways anyways anyways!!! to summarize! Dedanan doesn’t have the same history as we do so their Common Era calendar marks the years since a VASTLY different event, it’s closer to a mix between the Hebrew and Celtic calendars than the Gregorian calendar, Tolkien had the right idea re: language and linguistics and translation for simplicity’s (and sanity’s) sake, and I am adding this to the mental “am I autistic” cork board of evidence

MY FRIEND JUST SAID THERE’S AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL MEASUREMENT OF A SECOND THATS THE TRANSITION FREQUENCY OF A CAESIUM ATOM AND NOW IM A LITTLE BIT FERAL ABOUT THIS ALSO
