"You're out late, Mr. Dibbler," he said, politely.
"Ah, Mr. Worde. Times is hard in the hot sausage trade," said Dibbler.
"Can't make both ends meat, eh?" said William. He couldn't have stopped himself for a hundred dollars and a cart load of figs.

because the point isn’t the tasks, it is to stay in constant motion
I might have to relax my promises to myself, those superstitious announcements of plans that did not, in any sphere broader than the confines of my own mind, matter... Lazy, lazy, lazy: I heard this chorus in my head at most times of the day if I tuned in to that channel, breaking through the static to catch it like you can catch good college radio stations in between the dials, hidden between alt-country and the Jesus station, just peeking through. You’re lazy, you’re lazy, you’re lazy... She doesn’t want to work smarter/not harder, because the point isn’t the tasks, it is to stay in constant motion.
— Margo Steines, "Brutalities: A Love Story" (W. W. Norton & Company, October 3, 2023)

This whole Princess of Wales debacle is a prime example of why people should learn to think before they post/comment online/on social media and, for the most part, keep their mouths shut.
It's a bandwagon of compulsive/impulsive, vultures and scavengers who embarrass themselves in a misguided effort to be relevant/topical.
Gentrification of the species.

Once I overcome my insomnia, internet addiction, body dysmorphia, propensity for isolation, romantic obsession, bizarre food rituals, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, fear of intimacy, compulsive personality, and inability to let myself live in peace...
it's all over for you.

HIII TUMBLR!! SORRY FOR THE LONG TIME I NEVER SPOKE :[ I just got these things finally and i wanted to talk about it!! I hope after this ill be able to become more active, i wanna start using tumblr now! :]
Also i wanna show my GDT collection one day, its mostly just Pinocchio but i got this Fake leather Guillermo Sketchbook i draw in from a few months back and recently got the art book for Shape Of Water!! [My favorite live action people movie ive seen him make so far!]
Anyways have this very long story because the only thing i can talk about is myself😭😭
ALSO MY GUILLERMO DEL TOROS PINOCCHIO ART IS ON THE WAY!!
I have really old art ive never shown past the eyes of Discord😭😭😭
I CANT WAIT FOR THESE TO COME!! Ill give an extensive review of these and post it on here! Also another very big reason on why i also got them is to repaint them!! :] they need a repaint so badly😭😭
So the lore...
A very long time ago, at the movies official release like 5 months ago.. a few days after that i went looking for cool stuff because i needed to know if there was any news🥺🥺🥺
And i did! The first line of toys they produced was the Mego Corp GDTPinocchio toy line, which i was very excited to get since i had the money, albeit i wasted all of it before on the books and the pop figures that just came out, then along came the limited edition Pinocchio Maquette replica one month after..
(Also i might get the timeline wrong, i have a problem with remembering and the understanding of time)
[which costed 10 times less than the actual handcarved limited edition WOODEN PUPPET😭😭 Id have to be a millionaire to get THAT ONE! Ill work hard to get that once i start my summer job]
Sooo i decided to save for that instead, pushing away the one thing that i was able to get in favour of the Maquette, each month i kinda got forced to waste alot of my money on things i never wanted to get, so it was a very slow rise, i never got to my goal before they already got sold out, i was 100 dollars away because of the SHIPPING, THE SHIPPING COST 100 DOLLARS TO GET TO SWEDEN, I ACTUALLY ALMOST HAD ENOUTH😭
This gave me a money complex that lasted for about a few months, i used to be a compulsive buyer but i completely shifted because of that, i mean im still very compulsive but now i get so shameful every time i get anything and i avoid the shops like the plague.. because i dont need it!! [Also to get the maquette replica]
Okay thats my story, Ofcourse ill only talk about GDTP and every other single Pinocchio adaption, and Guillermo Del toros every other movie and series, this is why i got tumblr LOL
[and maybe some other things!! I have other interests as well, but not as intense as this one]
GET A SNEAK PEAK OF A FEW OF MY MANY PINOCCHIO
[i like all adaptions lol]
ART PIECES IM MAKING U GOOBERS🥺🥺🥺✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

I realize there may be something Wrong with me, not in the fact that I'm kinky but because I actively and knowingly put myself in real danger for sexual reasons. That's kind of crashing on me right now mentally.
I feel like a disgusting person, but rationally, I understand I'm just being all depressive spirall-y, and that thinking badly about myself cannot and will not change my recklessness. I want help and support toward being a less risky person and learning how to draw the line and get my rocks off in a way that doesn't leave me feeling like I just Mega Fucked Up because I forgot to think or perhaps just ignored my thinking. Thrill seeking is one thing, putting myself in actual obvious danger is another.
I need to address this with my therapist, but first, can anyone else who experiences hypersexuality or other addictive and/or compulsive tendencies tell me any tips on making yourself slow down to think things through and battling compulsion and addiction in general?
I know I cannot change or "fix" that part of me, but maybe I can learn to manage it in a way that minimizes harm to myself
