folks tonight we discovered what hitting my breaking point looks like and it is: impulse three day vacation in palm desert for ahl hockey in february by myself. does anyone have any recommendations for stuff to do in coachella valley?? like restaurants or hikes or museums or anything. i don't drink and i love museums and i will have a car and my only two commitments are evening hockey games. i should probably buy my lesbian parents alcohol, snacks, and/or spices for looking after my dog and i would like to buy local. also love a local ice cream shop or creamery. literally any recs you have would be great!! no recommendation too great or too small!!
(also podcast recs that aren't true crime or horror since i have two 7+ hour drives and if i listen to my sports podcasts the entire time i will become a worse version of myself than we started with, which is already bad lmfao)
if you're writing a charles fic, it must have some aspect of boyking. he must lean a little on the childgod side. he has to be revered a little bit, adored even. if people aren't talking about him like they wouldn't wash his feet and adorn it with perfume like mary magdalene washed and adorned jesus' feet, you're doing it wrong.
the weird thing is realizing I have already felt the worst I'm ever gonna feel in my entire life. like not saying that traumatic or horrible things won't happen to me but over the past few days I'm realizing that its STILL not as bad as the trauma i went though as a kid and teenager. its still easier to cope. because the thing is that I have already been through so much terrible stuff AND I was in a long-term psychologically damaging situation that it's just like. its so much easier just having access to food and hot water and a clean house and santitary bathroom and kitchen etc
like that makes everything SO MUCH easier everything else aside and the independance knowing that you care take care of yourself and it isn't hopeless. there's a level of trauma where once u come back from that there isn't anything worse that can happen to you bcuz you will NEVER again be in that situation ever again. like there's a lot of horrific things that could happen but That specific trauma is never going to happen to me again. if I can survive that then everything else is just easy
Vaguely wondering if I should get tested for a seizure disorder. Ever since I was sixteen, I’ve had these intermittent, couple-month-long spells of having sudden, inexplicable, painless twitches in my chest. For a while I was terrified it was a heart issue, but I’ve mostly overcome that fear since no one’s ever found anything unusual in my blood work. I have anxiety obviously, and that could very well be the cause, but it’s such a physical reaction (and usually happens without any prompting) that I sometimes struggle to write it off as purely psychosomatic. I heard the other day that you can have a seizure disorder without even knowing it, so maybe? Idk. Would really like to get tested, but my family lost our insurance last month and we’re now on Obamacare, so I don’t think I could justify it to my dad. He’s always been very firm that it’s all in my head and he’s probably right, but I still would like to know.
Heads up if there's any decrease in my activity here or on discord it's bc for the last few days Mama the cat came back (we last saw her in 2021) and we finally were able to trap her! We plan to get her to the vet this weekend and just- letting her adjust to being an indoor cat
Also shout out to @kisaisacat for helping me via giving tips and tricks to help aid in her trapping!

The couple of chapters I wrote today were mostly rewrites of the first draft & also the part of this story I have the strongest mental image of, so I expected it to be quick but not "6k+ words in one night" quick, lmao. No spoilers, but there is a sudden death and then lots of sad stuff and then a weird makeshift funeral that turns out kind of sweet actually :')
tbh y'all are actually lucky my hatchetfield hyperfixation is mostly gone bc if it was still my strongest hyperfixation i would be literally insufferable when it comes to paul 23 and emdroid. yes i know they're side characters who are never coming back yes i know they're basically identical replicants of regular characters yes i know most people hate them bc of the murder. but also they were literally the best part of that entire series and if the writers realized they accidentally created the most romantic story ever told with these two beings created to be mindless capitalist drones who both escaped their fate and somehow found each other and the freedom to make their own lives together then the world would be a much better place
You know, I have never watched anything with David Dastmalchian in it, but I absolutely love him because of everything you've posted on your blog about him lol. He's a hot funky lil' guy and I appreciate seeing him on my dash lol
i'm so proud
legit i adore getting messages like this, like "oh i like this because of you" "i realised this because of you" "i watched this because of you"
Genuinely surprised when people follow me for XIV stuff because I haven't talked about it properly on here in a while... When the expac comes out, I'll be all over that though I prommy (different way of saying promise)
