#I can keep this up for well over a week!

[aethersea]

alright, I’m doing it. one fic or chapter a day until I run out of completed chapters, starting now! no more unposted wips!

if the title field dares stand against me, I shall bite my thumb at it.

#finx rambles #gonna do the batfam stuff first bc despite my bold words #I do want to use 80s song lyrics for the stranger things ones #so I need to go scare up some 80s songs that will suit my purposes #and because I kinda do have titles for two of the batfam ones #so it'll give me a bit of a buffer #first one is the one I posted here a little while ago – duke's very special first #tomorrow we do the titans tower au #.......hmm I wonder if I should post any of the kencyrath stuff #there's a scene from the vampire au that's complete enough to post #absolutely zero context but hey #half the fandom is in the groupchat anyway and already knows the context #oooh and I could put up the untamed au too #never got more than the intro done but it's a lengthy intro #sets the scene completely; it's not a finished story but it definitely counts as a finished fic #hell yeah that's way more than I thought I'd have #I can keep this up for well over a week!

my job wants me gone so bad , like 1 month in and they have already brought out their no effort in communication and gaslighting full force, and telling me much of the work I am doing is wrong and accusing me of not doing the basic things like stocking, that I try so hard and am sure to keep up with being the only person working at a time? like if they are going to do this at least do it while i am on the clock..

#this morning i kept apologizing for doing what i was told and trained to do and the lady sent so many messages of 'well I don't remember #telling you' over n over like ??? so then i had to apologize for her not remembering which like no one does that #to that extent unless they are trying to affect you negatively and or try to get you to say something they can use against you #like ive been abused enough i know how it goes 🙃 ?? #and then they are like 'why would you be stupid and put in so much effort when you work the busiest shifts of the week?' #when like literally ive got a good eye for design and decent with sales so like i will touch a merchandise make it more presentable #and suddenly the next people coming in will be drawn to the item to buy like im their little magical willy wonka like they said they wanted #on their original job listing #and ofc there is no mention of how the floor is no longer just perpetual dirt mud to slather around bc i actually cleaned the floor #instead of doing there method of just mopping by putting a mop back in dirty mop water.. like you can visibly see the floor crusted when it #is like that and i wont even start on the dust #nor any mention to how the backroom hasnt remained cluttered from extra my extra tidying or severely cluttered by all the work i did #the last two days #just how i have consistently done a bad job not even keeping up with the basics apparently this entire time 😐 #anyways 3 hours of my day Wasted and unpaid from how much they made me cry like there is so much more bot mentioned i hate itf

seeing fnaf continuing still hurts my soul as much as seeing warrior cats contuing do you feel the same

oh boy do i love it when two longstanding franchises i've been invested in childhood suddenly go off the fucking deepend because the creators constantly write themselves into corners.

oh man isnt it swell being blind sighted by retcons to the point of loosing most--if not all--emotional investment in something that brought you so much joy?? I LOVE IT WHEN CREATORS RESPOND TO AUDIENCE FEEDBACK BY CONSTANTLY TRYING TO ONE-UP THEM WITH NONSCENSICAL ADDITIONS EVEN IF IT PREVIOUSLY CONTRADICTS PREVIOUS MEDIA WITHIN THAT VERY SAME FRANCHISE.

#im being..slightly hyperbolic here btw lol theres i reason i dont read most of the newer wc books #wc #fnaf #answered #ask #kingmystrie #listen i re-experienced fnaf 4 not even a week ago scott's ass did not plan this #why are people eating it up unironically like it isnt just this man trying harder and harder to keep the audience on their toes #a predictable story isnt bad IT MEANS YOU'RE COMMUNICATING THE BASIC PLOTLINE WELL ENOUGH TO YOUR AUDIENCE THAT THEY CAN DRAW THEIR OWN #CONCLUSIONS #whats with these series (plural) and their over explanation of shit that did not need explaining #I GET IT AFTON IS EVIL #I GET IT RIVERSTAR IS STRAIGHT

Spotify prompt! Knuckles and tails, an 19 :)

Oh hoho! You managed to land FightSong by EVE (<- YouTube link), a song that by all rights shoulda been #2 (<- I refuse to pay Spotify money).

Hmm…. It’s been a while since I’ve done anything with Super Sonic Speed, but I always did intend to write follow-ups…

.•.•.•.

The city is unbelievably loud. They’re in what Sonic had called a shopping district, and it’s apparently very popular. Knuckles would kind of like to go home, a lot, actually, but Tails is flirting from one shop to another and he doesn’t have it in him to shut the kid down. Sonic is somewhere on the periphery of their little group— he and Tails had bonded, thick as thieves, and Knuckles— well, he tolerated the guy.

Tails gasps like he’s seeing the sun rise for the first time, excited enough that he’s lifting off the ground. Knuckles ambles over, grabs him by the ankle, and pulls him back down. He’s looking at some sort of… thing. Knuckles can’t make heads or tails of it, but it’s definitely saying something to Tails.

Hmm. He is, at least, familiar with the idea of shops. Chao liked to set them up, sometimes, selling fruit or handmade crafts for rings, but Knuckles has no idea if their idea of currency and everyone else’s aligns. Would the shopkeep accept a fruit? Most chao did. It isn’t like rings are a problem, so…

Knuckles turns, seeking out Sonic in the crowd. There he is— stiff as anything, glancing frantically back and forth between Knuckles and some other hedgehog, a pink one. One of his friends, maybe? They look irritated, maybe not. Knuckles steps away from Tails, invites himself into their conversation.

“and you just RAN OFF—“ the hedgehog is shouting. Sonic cracks his mouth open, a faint wheeze escaping.

“Hey,” Knuckles says.

“—do you have ANY IDEA how WORRIED I was—“

This looks like a battle Sonic is better off fighting on his own. Still, Knuckles needs his question answered. “Hey,” he repeats, slightly louder.

“—I mean, I knew you were alright because my cards said so, but—“

“Hey Knuckles,” Sonic manages to crack out, “this is Amy.”

Amy tilts her head at him, and then gives him a sharp, discerning once-over. “Are you one of his other friends?” She asks.

“Yeah, sure,” Knuckles says, and then “do rings work as currency down here?”

She blinks at him, as if this is a weird thing to ask. “Yes?” She says.

“Okay,” Knuckles says, nodding, “try not to scare him too bad.”

Any lingering confusion evaporates, and she whirls around to find Sonic trying to sneak away. “AGAIN!” she shouts, full of conviction, and Knuckles makes his way back to where he left Tails. He isn’t pressed up against the glass anymore, so Knuckles steps into the store. Yeah, there he is. Hovering— literally— over the same display.

Knuckles takes a moment to properly observe, rooting around for the terms Tails would use, in an attempt to ensure he gets the right thing. There’s a looping track, and a few other gadgets on the sides. A switch, one of them looks like, and some barricade, and a few blinking lights. On the track itself is a… sideways cylinder, set on wheels, connected to a few boxes, puffing out smoke— or steam, maybe. Tails is absorbed enough in watching it chug along that he doesn’t even realize Knuckles is standing right next to him. Knuckles’ll just have to make sure he comes up for air, occasionally.

He casts about the rest of the store, vaguely lost. There are a lot of displays, and a lot of colourful boxes. Knuckles picks up one, flips it over, and realizes swiftly he is out of his depth. He brings the box over to Tails, handing it to him. Tails holds onto it for a full few seconds, watching with bated breath as the cylinder switches tracks, before he looks down. His fur all along his spine puffs up, and he turns to look at Knuckles so fast he has to wonder if Sonic hasn’t started to rub off on him in more ways than one. That’s the right box, for sure.

“Really?” Tails asks, voice breathy with excitement, and Knuckles ruffles his fur instinctually.

“‘Course.”

Maybe the shopping district isn’t that bad.

#eggthew #prompt fill #askbox #uhhh so. I kind of barely followed fightsong at all I CAN EXPLAIN #went off the visuals instead of the lyrics. two people running around in city. ooh I could do knuckles protecting tails from Eggman in some #kind of egg city! ah hang on there’s the eggperial city arc in idw and I haven’t read that yet. so I’m not confident in portraying it. hmmm #I could do a Different egg city… man Knuckles and Tails. what a great pair. I really enjoyed writing them in super sonic speed. hey! I could #do super sonic speed’s Knuckles’s first time in a city! maybe he gets kind of freaked out? escape from the city haha #well tails would be familiar with cities. and sonic would be there ofc but I’ll shuffle him off to the side so he doesn’t hog the spotlight #I could do tails looking at a shop! yeah! and knuckles needs to ask how currency works but sonic is… busy? hmm. oh! a city!!!! amy lives in #a city!! she runs into sonic! which keeps him from coming back over with knuckles. I always did mean to write her reunion with sonic. #that’ll be nice to do. alright. perfect. it’s all working out. get to the final few lines. think ‘hey how did I end up with this anyway.’ #pulse of adrenaline as my brain goes OH YEAH FIGHTSONG. ach. #I’m happy w this though :) #knuckles: I Tolerate sonic. at best. #sonic: hey I am in a vaguely uncomfortable situation #knuckles *rolling up metaphorical sleeves*: do I need to kick ass #Amy making a mental note: sonic apparently befriending a space alien okay okay cool #they meet up for ice cream. knuckles is inflicted with curse of immediate brainfreeze. tails is So Excited about his new model train set #within a week he mods it to A) be strong enough to pull the Master Emerald and B) be armed.

259 - average day

#daily scott smajor #step one. start spiralling. grab the loaf of bread from the pantry #it being stale is alright. cut the moldy parts off #it will work for now. #step two. isolate from the world. grab the cheese from the fridge- the type you use is optional. the cheese expired last week but thats fin #im too tired to go to the store. #step three become a shell of yourself. grab the pan from under the oven #or wherever you keep yours. you did not clean it well enough last #time you made food it seems #as you can see burnt parts line the edges. this will do. #step four. make sure you no longer feel connected to the situation at hand. grab the butter or mayonaise (i learned to use mayo #my preference) and put it on the outside of the bread. one side of each slice #as you have been reminded your whole life. #step five. wait. #step six. remind yourself you're acting rash. this fixes nothing- but is a good thing to remind yourself of. put the first piece of bread o #the pan mayo side down. place the cheese on top of that. add the other slice mayo side up. #step seven. you will wait some more. #step eight. drown out everything you know. flip the bread over. you will notice its slightly burnt but that is okay. you are too hungry to #care. #step nine. finish what you have started and go to bed unsatisfied. #<- hope this helps!

I honestly can't remember the last time I wasn't nauseous. Was it five days ago? Seven? Who knows. Certainly not me.

#this is about the persistant stomach bug I've had since i got food poisoning on the 17th #I'm just. so damn tired of feeling like my stomach is going to crawl out my throat #I've thrown up more times in the past week than i have in the past ten years and I'm really upset about it #not to mention the pain that's happening #and I'm just supposed to carry on with my life! #I've had to talk to my work because i can't do the shifts i usually do and ask i seem capable of is fucking sleeping #OR #doing classwork #the only reason my class is going well is that it's in the morning and i can do the work for it with a ton of breaks to use the bathroom #and it doesn't seem to matter what i eat #I'm nauseous but not throwing up in the morning and then in the afternoon i start throwing up and by the time i take my evening pills... #i can't keep anything down #i can't even keep water down #i fucking love water #but nooooooo #my body wants to reject even that #i don't know what to do #hopefully this goes away or the CT shows what's going on so i can live my fucking life again #anyway #rant over #drink water you heathens

[szappan]

also today me and an exchange student i became tentative but earnest friends with over the semester realised we're probably never going to see each other again it's all so strange how quickly you can start missing people

#we had the same lit class and we didnt talk for the first many weeks but i thought she was really smart and i had a little #freakout session about byron and shelley and keats to her and we discussed literature we like while i walked her home and it was great we #understood each other swimmingly and now she'll be so far away. but i hope we'll keep in touch id like to get to know her better shes great #we also braced ourselves and went up to our syntax lecturer together whos a delightful little clown but just as well i gaze at him in #wonder for 45 minutes every week barely comprehending anything he says. and he uploaded some sample questions for the exam and it's #it's not good lads #and today he said 'i read on markmyprofessor that im incomprehensible and i should present the material as a teacher' #and then he explained one thing completely plainly and we all understood what he explained just then and it was wondrous #then he went back to his mind games and allegories and stuff immediately and my minute of relief was over #and i really do wish hed done the whole lecture series *vaguely germanic accent* 'tanárként' #because he can and he just doesnt. silly. and difficult for me. but well maybe i'll figure it out by the time the exam comes around #my post

little soup cans are some of the neatest things we have, wish there were more soup-can-like things in this world

#just me hi #though canopeners need to stop being deadly weapons to some degree before that hfhs #'they're not deadly tho ?' well usually yes. but did you know that they can age Badly? i did not! #and the one I was using was dulled to an extent that it would Skip over a part of the can #(nearly the same spot every time lol) and when I thought I'd managed to fool it and had only #the tiniest bit of metal between me and some beans (pretty sure it was beans) I thought #'ohh I'll just pull up the can lid :)' Well the lid snapped off completely towards and Into my hand #and I had a bean-can wound on my pinky for about a week or so. I do not know how long it's been lol #//but soup cans are pretty cool I feel like they're kinda underappreciated !! #you can just have Soup ? Whenever ??? and it's Normal !! wow :D #sure making soup is pretty great. but that's a process man. and we're not even associates #[<- 'a process I am (not) intimate with'] #like there is a little can of menudo in the pantry rn - medunito they call it isn't that just !! - and it's just there. it can be made in #like 10 minutes. is this Not the best thing ever ! ? #//I've also gotta figure out this sleeping thing that I've got going on (everybody has it going on) #I was maybe half a week into actually have a consistent thing going but the night I stopped was bc I am a sucker of a storyteller and we #were up til about. I think 4-6 a.m. #that's on me yes. my siblings vs. my desire to tell stories and rubber willpower hfbdh #a deadly match truly #and also I lost my snoopy watch (RIP snoopy watch you will be missed (I can't find it send help Waough)) and that was the only clock I had #in this room so now if I wanna know the time I have to go the living room - which is like a whole dang thing lemme tell you about it #/first I've gotta get up - easiest thing by far - and get to the door - assuming I don't get KO'd by my siblings' belongings on the floor - #get to the door. the door Is broken to some extent. opening it means a loud THDPD noise is sent throughout the entire house lol. and you #have to yank on the thing to get it open - so double effort there - and then you step out into the hallwayish area where you can then enter #the living room - oh so easy! but No! you then have to either turn on the kitchen lights and wake everyone with their door open or sleeping #in the living room for whatever reason Orrr you have to clamber over chairs pots perhaps a cat if you've got real bad luck that night to ge #up nice n personal to the clock so you can read the dang thing and see it's 11:23. which is like nothing so you stay up Anyway and do not #check the clock again because not only was that a hassle but also you released every creature that was in the room with you (that's a lot o #noise). but Yea the clock situation is ongoing hfbsh #'why don't you get a clock' that would be much too easy loll :) (last one disappeared and we keep forgetting lol) //ran out of tag space so

Wednesdays used to be my least fav day of the week but i now replace that with Monday

#in therapy we identified that maybe my work life affects my sense of happiness more than i thought #it really just takes 1 coworker with no chill =m= i hate micromanagers #hes the kind of person who tells you lots of contradicting things and gets angry over small things #im like his new target that he gets angry at and always nitpicks at. it used to be someone else #and he gives me contradicting orders all the time so its like im always gonna be wrong???? #“dont focus on overstock. Always prioritize checking dates” #or “dont focus on checking dates.

OH YEAH I DID ART

Month 6, day 3, did days 1 and 2 of @adorkastock's Draw Everything June challenge!

Not me making up characters on the spot, no, I would never, it's not like character design is my truest love or anything :P Neither of them have names, but Day 1 uses he/him pronouns and Day 2 uses she/her pronouns and made the kitty cat patch for her pocket herself :3

#draweverythingjune2023 #the great artscapade of 2023 #art #my art #character design #art challenge #I might refine and finalize Day 1 I like his look #Day 2 needs more work and a more coherent idea of what I want her to be #but these are just sketches they're not meant to be perfect :P #fun fact unrelated to the challenge: #I've taken so many pictures in Forspoken this week that my PlayStation app keeps crashing if I scroll back to where I left off saving them #I managed to FINALLY get it to agree with me but it only works on my phone?

I need to finally admit that I only have so much time to write and thus need to decide & commit to writing one particular thing instead of researching everything forever in the hopes that I will one day have time to write All the things. You have no idea how nuanced my internal discussions on the topic have gotten at this point, though. The next post will be a poll on what to write or post about first.

#blog meta #i have. information #and i need to distribute this information #because the fact other people can't seem to do research and think about it annoys me #but i also acknowledge that i have the advantage of an academic and scientific background (albeit not in the field yet) #as well as an upbringing that prioritized both those things + research skills and critical thinking #so the best thing to do? write clear and accessible overviews that are well-researched and have proper bibliographies #because a lot of those pop-sci articles are worse than half the unsubstantiated claims i see on here... #and i happen to have the dedication to sift through scientific articles in order to fight the misinformation AND make the topic approachabl #going to set myself a deadline of 1 week because otherwise i will not do it timely #i can spend months writing a thing if left to my own devices #and in that case it becomes very comprehensive indeed BUT it also becomes book-length and completely inaccessible :( #because no one is going to reblog a 30k explanation with 100+ sources and that is what it would end up being #i am an over-researcher and an over-writer if there ever was one #so i will prioritize keeping things short and doing them timely #as well as post concepts that are inherently shorter and less formal #the most bang for your buck so to speak #especially when it comes to maximizing helpfulness (since people will not read and spread it otherwise) #but some of the things I want to talk about are inherently more in-depth #okay. rambling in tags time is over

it is not slacking off to write or create it is not slacking off to do things that are fun i am not slacking off or procrastinating right now i'm allowed to do things i enjoy doing for fun including playing games and writing and such

There's a lot of stuff I'd love to do but then there's only so much time and only so much external interest regarding such events too.

Some sort of short fic exchange for non-juggernaut WN ships or some funky comment fic place or a capslock community for all your unhinged commentary needs or a WN bingo... I don't know, something.

#don't mind me i am old and i want journal-type fandom back is all #i understand some of you might engage in similar activities on discord or whatever but that's really not what i envision #the short fic exchange could even be a drabble exchange. we leave the big ship out though or else it would overtake the thing #anyway. something something creating community. #speaking of i'll probably be less active here starting apr 25th up to may 15th. that's because 3 weeks for dreamwidth will be on #the drabbles will still be posted here on the fridays during that period but i'm thinking of hanging out there a bit more #maybe i can pull one of you in to hang out with me there. maybe one day we'll have enough numbers for a cosy community lol #that's the point of the event though. see if any fresh meat can be seduced by dw ;) #i have a few hild icons i mean to post and i'd like to finish my 1x02 wn batch as well but that seems unlikely atm #we'll see. thinking of some meta too. and whatever i end up writing for fan_flashworks will stay on dw until the event is over as well #so you might want to keep an eye on there if you're interested! #i have the same username there as here so it's easy to spot me #silly blabbering
