here's also a good video to be reminded of today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtFPLav3DYs
talking about an asshole
@monorail it's kind of aristotelian tbh
very little catharsis for the audience, but in the end it's a man brought low by his own hamartia, his own fatal flaw
i don't think having some sympathy for that is a bad thing, especially because when we see a tragedy we see the pattern that gets repeated (bringing other people, far more sympathetic, into suffering) - and that we can go "there but for fortune go i" about, too, tbh
@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online BLESS THANK YOU <3 <3 <3
the necklace i got in a lucky pack off etsy! and it cracks me up because it's an xbox controller but... i have never owned an xbox lmaooo, it's my FAKE GEEK GIRL NECKLACE
but it goes nicely with my new purse, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2017-New-cute-fashion-personality-letter-game-shape-laser-wings-mini-clutch-purse-flap-ladies-chain/32813979360.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dhISPI8 ^0^
note: you'll have to clean up the fallout underneath your eye but once it's on there it stays pretty well, my under-eyes are looking especially grungy because this was immediately after i had physical therapy and my mascara was being complainey + didn't use any under-eye concealer, just bb cream today
it looks impressive but is really quick to do, and would be v cute for st patrick's day, especially if you do your lids green
PRO MAKEUP HAXX:
to make people think you've spent much more time doing your eyeshadow than you actually have, get a large 'toothbrush' style brush and a rainbow highlighter, put down some glitter eyeshadow primer, and then load up the brush with rainbow highlighter and roll it onto your eye all at once, then do the lid itself some other color since that's where it's not gonna transfer too good and fill in the edges with a brush as needed
and BAM! RAINBOW!

ahsoka: is.........................that a compliment
anakin, distantly, several rooms away: YOU KNOW IT AIN'T, SNIPS
ahsoka: HEY PADME I KNOW IT'S LIKE 8AM BUT I BROUGHT SOMETHING TO HELP ANAKIN
padme: wh-
ahsoka: IT'S A THERAPY DOG
padme: oh, that's -
ahsoka: and by therapy dog i mean someone was giving away puppies but it's very soft and good to pet and that's basically like therapy right?
padme: ...ahsoka, understand that i love you like my own adopted daughter
padme: but this is the most on-brand "anakin's padawan" thing you've ever done
honestly i've been chewing on this star wars plot bunny for awhile, which is equal parts Anakin whump (bc it's always a good time) and Let's Engineer A Situation Where PADME Gets To Be The Scary One On The Warpath For Justice,
with a side order of "me getting on a soapbox going 'y'all know the jedi order is fucked up right'"
but also
just to like
write this scene:
"will it help if we put some of that spray-on glitter dust in our hair too"
the answer is always yes tbh
"but i don't wANNAAAAA go to physical therapyyy tomorrowwwww"
"what if we use our new purse? y'know, the one that's shaped like a gameboy with holo angel wings and 'game over' on it?"
"buuuut...."
"we can wear our rainbow leggings, too. and that pair of pink combat boots with the angel wings, if you want."
"....whiiiiiiine"
"and our xbox controller resin charm necklace? y'know, the one that's a little glittery and pink?
"okaaaaaaaaay i guess if we do thaaaaaaat i can gooooo"
@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online oh hey i actually might have broke-ass tips for nails
i feel like i've told them here before but like... simplynailogical is a very goofy youtuber but her tips for nail oil? legit
also bornpretty has pretty fuckin bomb prices on plain gel topcoats and chroming/holo/iridescent powders and liquid latex
and as somebody who has not so steady hands due to that spoonie life, liquid latex is... a fuckin gamechanger
@Sapphicgiraffic@snouts.online until that day would you like to come join me at the Broke-Ass Bitch Spa
i got some friends who are fucking wowed by the serums at the Dollar Tree (that are apparently ingredients-wise equivalent to $40+ ones and being flipped on ebay for that price and more), and i've been scoping out all the good shit on reddit about cheap makeup (apparently wet and wild is fucking killing it these days i gotta get in on that shit, their dupe for ABH Modern Romance is v nice...)
