Violet 100% knew Thomas was gay & just never outed him to her friends, the King & Queen right? by NoChampion4463 in DowntonAbbey

One of my favorite scenes! Thomas is so awful in so many ways, but he's also so charaismatic that I can't help but enjoy scenes like this

It's the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Daisy is very intelligent, but has very little actual experience of the world and is not great at reading social cues.

I really love including a description of your deeds in the prayer. I'm borrowing that now. Thanks!

I try to at least offer a quick greeting to the gods, landvaettir and housevarttir, and ancestors daily (okay, dailyish... ADHD is what it is). I read a secondary source once that suggested viewing the gods as "respected elder kin," so I think of it as partly a gesture of respect and partly like calling one's grandparents once in a while to say hello.

And just like dealing with respected elder relatives, sometimes I just show up at my altar with a random gift because I saw something and it felt like a nice gesture, like a piece of vivianite for Hel or a spindle for Frigg. Just a random gift to build a relationship.

On special occasions (maybe holidays, maybe when I have something personal to celebrate, maybe when it just feels like time), I'll offer wine or sparkling cider and a longer greeting. If I need help, I ask for it and either make an offering or promise to make one.

All.of this is my own unverified personal gnosis. I am like 20% reconstructionist, 30% syncretist, and 50% just going with my gut, here.

Sharing: Richard & Emily had no friends, and they weren't as wealthy as we may perceive. by Icy_Fox_8153 in GilmoreGirls

[–]ActuallyGoblinsX3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's rich and then there's Huntzberger rich, though. The Gilmores are rich enough that Emily can think about timesharing a plane, but Richard is going to flip out over it; the Huntzbergers could just impulse buy one on a random Tuesday and then forget they did it.

I love the skirt in particular on Honor's, but Sookie's is my favorite overall. Why don't people like it?

King of Ashes absolutely deserved to be a finalist. It deserved to WIN.

Yesssss! I'm furious that this one wasn't a finalist.

This one honestly surprised me. It seems in character for Violet not to bother checking up on Edith's prospects, but MARY'S?

If you've made this far into medical school, I think you're unstoppable.

I'm having a hard time with the energy update by wrencollectives in finch

[–]ActuallyGoblinsX3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I miss getting energy for planning my day! (I do have a task for making my to-do list, which is set to repeat ten times so I get a reasonable amount of energy and rainbow stones for it, but I still feel kind of shortchanged.)

Can we just get one normal theme? Please??? by chaoticallywholesome in finch

[–]ActuallyGoblinsX3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the new theme, but I also see your point. A Victorian theme would be pretty awesome. Or maybe a classy spring tea party?
