Nine People I Would Like to Know Better (?) Tag
I was tagged by @sleepyowlwrites — thank you!
current book: I’m rereading the last Magnus Chase book in Rick Riordan’s norse mythology series. His books are comfort reads. Reread books happens when I’m stressed, in pain, or upset. I am taking cozy fantasy recs in all age categories at the moment, preferably without romance.
Current fic: I don’t read much fsnfiction anymore, sadly. The JK Rowling of it all kinda ruined it for me. Engaging in fandom beyond casually consuming the media in question only stresses me out now.
Currently watching: I’m rewatching Call the Midwife. It’s a comfort watch. I go back to favorite pieces of media in times of stress. See a theme? To be fair, I don’t watch shoes or films much. Books and music are my main sources of entertainment.
Next on my watchlist: When the next season of Bridgerton drops I’ll be very occupied. I love a good historical drama.
Current hyperfixation: I’m listening to Dimension20’s Fantasy High for the first time. I really want to play DnD, and this show is only barely satisfying that.
Favorite color: lavender has been my favorite color since I was about nine years old. Periwinkle and seafoam are up there, too.
Sweet, spicy, or savory: Sweets, for sure— but more fruity-floral sweetness than bakery sweetness. I’m a big fan of treats with flower syrups, black tea, and sweet herbs in them.
Relationship status: single, and not actively looking for anything. If it happens, cool. If not, I’m honestly just happy to be here at this point. My friendships are super fulfilling and rich, and I have a large family.
Last song: The Prophecy off of Taylor Swift’s new album. I needed to let some stuff out after all the unfun medical experiences this week. The lyrics of that song kind of resemble how I feel about it.
Last thing I googled: lol, I just researched some of the new medical stuff I learned about my haunted house of a body. It was… informative.
Skill I’d like to learn: I would love to make my own clothes. For so long, I struggled to thread a needle on a sewing machine. My vision is very poor, which makes that task challenging. I think, even if it takes forever, hand-sewing might be my best shot at realizing this dream.
Best advice:
Dealing with my own health struggles, as well as supporting family who are attempting to rewrite poisonous, unsustainable behaviors has taught me something I wish I knew much sooner.
I’ve found it’s best for all involved that we try to meet each other where we are. Forcing someone into the shape you envision them in— with all their rough edges smoothed out and flaws filled in— helps no one in the present. Friends and family are going to move at their own pace and in the best way they deem fit for themselves. Expecting someone to exist or change in the ways you think suit them best, and within a set timeframe, is asking for disappointment and conflict. That being said, holding people accountable for how they treat you while they’re learning or in times of struggle is essential in caring for both yourself and that person.
And yes, this applies to how you engage with yourself, as well. There are no timelines. No “this is how I should be” or “this is what I should be doing by this stage of my life.” Exist—and change, if it’s what you’ve chosen — at your own pace, because it’s what you’ve decided is best.

This is me publicly saying that I welcome all who want to follow this blog, whether we’ve interacted or not. Lurkers and passive scrollers, outgoing souls and chatty folks, or those somewhere in the mix: I’d love to have you here. Feel free to interact with me or silently enjoy my blog.
So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

update: apparently this daily pain and related symptoms I’m experiencing are just going to be my new normal now. There’s nothing undramatic, affordable, or not potentially too-traumatizing-to-be-worth-it they can do, I guess. Love that for me.
Might be absent for a bit while I process this and grieve the life expeeiences I’ll probably miss out on because of it. I won’t go into more details because, honestly, talking about it makes me very sad and anxious.
Do please still send me asks, messages, and tag me in things. Hearing from you guys and seeing your posts cheera me up immensely.
Apologies for my unplanned histus, moonbeams. New medical Things happening to my body always freak me out and exhaust me, but this new one… somehow feels so much worse. I’m trying to remain calm about it and not spiral until after I meet with a new specialist next week. I’ll leave you with this short script I wrote.
Doctors: you’re too young and passably attractive according to society’s ridiculous standards to have the thing you have all the symptoms of. Besides, you’re already disabled. You can’t have all this chronic illness, too.
Me: test me anyway…
Doctors: begrudgingly do so
Doctors: sooo it turns out you do have the thing…

Big agree. I love fixing already-existing words more than building them from nothing. My perfectionism is also less present in the editing stage.
HOT TAKE
Editing is more fun than the first draft

OC Alphabet Soup
Send me a letter of the alphabet A-Z, and if I have an OC starting with that letter, I'll tell about them.

Finally got a rec for an oral surgeon to potentially treat my TMJ and tiiiny mouth opening. Anyone who has received surgical treatment for this, how did it go for you? What was it like?
And before it’s suggested, I have already tried heat, massage, PT, etc
