Hi there, I fiiinally decided where I’m going during my time off in september. I have about a week (a bit longer even) and was looking into going to Porto.
However, I want to also visit nature and maybe do a little hike because I cannot deal with a week in a city.

So questions:
- are train connections in Portugal easy? Or is another form of transportation more efficient?

- I would like to visit Sintra but it’s quite far away from Porto. Should I take the trip and stay in Lisbon and take the plane back from there? Is it worth the trip?

- Any recommendations for doing trips in nature around Porto? (Or Sintra)

Tw: thoughts of feeling “fat”

We live in an idealistic society where we feel the need to be perfect but also everything is about money anyways.
I had a thought that is meant to be light hearted and a bit unserious but idk maybe it might help someone out there.

Who tf is gonna pay me for being perfect? Is anyone gonna pay me for having thin arms? What is my paycheck for having to spend every day thinking about my body?

Absolutely nothing. I’m not gaining anything. It’s a bit short sighted but thinking these questions have helped me step away from the mirror a bit faster some days haha. Stay dumb ✌️it’s better than thinking too hard.

I’m still not able to lift myself into an invert from a shoulder mount but I have to say, of all the things that felt like a success in my pole journey, the shoulder mount is the most satisfying one.

My instructor warned us that the first months that shoulder mount would feel useless, we did it every single class as a conditioning exercise and she was right. Felt like trying to pull the pole out of the ground with the build of a toddler. And then let’s not speak about that dreaded cup grip.
And then one day? I could lift myself with one leg up. And then one day? Could lift both my legs up.

Insane??? It was partially a mental click, partially a bit more muscle and partially just some tiny changes in technique. How cool is that??

How long did it take you guys?

I’ve been listening a lot to TØP’s entire discography again and I can’t help but wonder how unfair the SAI hate has been. They have upbeat, poppy sounds throughout their whole discography, ESPECIALLY Clancy but even Vessel (Guns For Hands?? Which is objectively a fan favorite, although not mine) and Blurryface. And still SAI has incredible production value, had such a cool esthetic (which also was a relief after the ugly ass khaki and yellow hahah).

Honestly WHAT SONG has got you guys in such a chokehold that you pretend to hate it that much. It can’t even be that it’s overplayed bc the media completely ignored this album as well.

Ps: I also think there’s more people saying other people hate SAI than people actually hating it so there’s that, me adding to the fuel.

Pps: I know the colours have symbolism ok, take everything with a grain of salt. I just looked like shit in khaki 😢

I have seen the pilots live 5 times back in my prime clique days, but tomorrow I'm seeing them for the first time since before covid and I'm so excited and nervous!!

I was just reminiscing a bit about that period of my life where the clique was like the only thing in my life that mattered haha. And how I actually became a clikkie etc.

And I remember that I did hear Stressed Out on the radio a few times and I actually caught a glimpse of them at a different festival years before that (Vessel era, mind you, I was so angry I missed that afterwards haha). When I started looking into them, it was definitely Holding Onto You that convinced me to becoming a fan, and the ball started rolling.

So question: people that became a fan post-covid, what was the song that convinced you to join the clique? Because the discography became so much bigger with no less than 4 albums since I became a fan back in 2016!! Holy hell.

Older fans can reply too of course hihi I'm just curious.

Hi! I was wondering if any of you got a family tree for their babies? My breeder “promised” me one but when we adopted our sib, it was still being made. I asked her a few times afterwards but didn’t really get any reply.

I don’t see this a red flag necessarily btw, I know this woman and she was never really great with responding only, but always kept her agreements and is an amazing and lovingly caregiver to her kittens.

That being said I also don’t reaaaally care because I didn’t get a purebred cat for the show of it but because I’m allergic to other cats 😂 I just think it could be interesting to see.

Did you get any of that info?

With this heat wave we have been leaving our air conditioning on during the day when we are away. Obviously we are all going through it rn with 37 degrees celsius in Europe and I don’t want her to suffer like us.
Thing is… she doesn’t care for the aircon. Warm air always goes up so our attic gets extra warm.

Miss girly just sleeps in the attic all day?? And at night sometimes too, which never does when we are home.

Idk if she just doesn’t have a survival instinct 😂 or that she is simply too cold?

Mind you, the aircon is only on in the kitchen, making our living room a nice mild temperature. It’s not like anything is blaring in her face…

I’m going to start a new playthrough after I lost my 97.7% game (DONT ASK) and I feel like I’ve found most easter eggs like the ghost train in Lemoyne, the zombie weirdos in the bayou, the endangered parakeets. I found the giant, the cave with the cool statues etc.

Is there anything you think is mythical or obscure that I should know about or do/find?

I’m not a mod person so not like “go to New Austin as Arthur”.

Idk what it is about me but most generic perfumes I try (like the mainstream perfumes like Miss Dior or the Replica perfumes) always dry down to… vanilla?? Is it just me who has this hahaha? Is there a science behind it? Because most of the perfumes I wear don’t even have vanilla notes…
