@doomdays sent 📖 (book: girls of fate and fury by natasha ngan) / lydia & tracy

"i shouldn't be surprised by now. it's ridiculous. Clinging on to nothing, all the time. i mean, god, after everything..." she trails off, shaking her head. usually lydia doesn't try to talk about it, keeping it buried deep. it is easier to talk about insecurities regarding her powers, but ones that trace back to her parents? she'd rather pretend they do not exist. something in tracy makes it seem like she needs to hear it, though. powerful fathers damaging their children, her mother hurting them in the same way. " why am i still surprised?"

send 📖 for a starter based off a book line / accepting

#doomdays #doomdays: tracy #that extended 5a we always talk about but never do #idk read this and felt many things #a lot can happen in one queue #writing: lydia martin

soooooooo Link Click has made me cry at least 15 times and it's only episode 5....

#like how am i supposed to survive 7 more eps??#my eyes are actually tearing up. like water is almost falling from them. and that NEVER happens from a show #also the ost is so beautiful #it makes every scene even more emotionally intense than it alr is from the AMAZING plots; storytelling; and characters #ok this is not about the ost but uk that main theme in interstellar and how it can definitely be cryable when put with a cryable scene?#as in participating in the waterworks becomes a mandatory event?#THAT'S what episode 5 feels like.#link click #vega has thoughts #a LOT of thoughts about this anime #daily reminder that you are one big queue-t!

I'm going to preface this story by saying: I don't necessarily believe in karma, but

I may have been walking through today with a vague sense of disbelief tainted with unkind smugness after my tiktok fyp was flooded with poor fans who tried to get presale ticket to one mr n. kahan's new tour only to find that demand was through the roof and GA pit tickets were seriously going for $300, in presale, and even the "worst" tickets in the lawn were going for $70

and while I undoubtedly think it's deeply unethical for both platforms (thanks ticketmaster) and artists to allow such dramatic ticket cost inflation, I also generally don't relate...

I (VERY LUCKILY) gravitate towards smaller acts, and the most I've paid for a ticket all year has been, like... $90 for a ticket to beyonce, which got cancelled and I was refunded lol. if I look back at all my receipts from shows this year, most have been around $50/ticket after fees, and several have been closer to $20. my favorite show I've seen all year was a $15 ticket.

it's mostly luck—I tend to like smaller acts, and I've been seeing mainly rock acts this year, and those tickets simply don't run as high as pop acts. and part of me is honestly very grateful that I haven't been swept into any of the really recent huge acts.

I think of all the people scrabbling for boygenius or taylor swift tickets and how much money they've had to shell out... how a lot of them don't even GET to see the acts they want to see because they've been priced out or tickets sold out. I can't remember the last time a show I wanted to go to sold out lol. maybe bastille in london?

and again, it's just a matter of luck that I'm not really into any of these megastars and therefore don't have to compete in the gladiator arena to try to see shows I want to see, but sometimes luck manifests as a feeling of self-satisfaction, you know? who among us hasn't experienced a little self-superiority from time to time.

look, if YOUR tiktok was flooded with people saying concerts have been awful since 2021 (including rock and metal shows), but every concert YOU'VE been to since 2021 was amazing and the crowds were really good and you always got tickets and it never broke the bank, you'd feel pretty validated in your choice of musicians and the crowds they attract too, alright?? sue me! I felt frugal AND undeservedly clever!

anyways back to karma. guess who got invited and subsequently agreed to shell out $70 to sit in a lawn and listen to mr. n. kahan sing. I'll give you a hint, her tumblr username starts with an r and ends with an s

#I KNOW LIKE. A SINGLE ONE OF HIS SONGS.#the thing about me is I'm earnestly really good at not judging other ppls music taste because:#I have a whole 1000-song playlist dedicated to music I love but don't play for other ppl bc I regard it as my Fun Time No Taste Music #and it's not that it's bad it's just not as curated as I prefer my music showed to other people lol #and that means I don't judge people for getting really into a band that doesn't do it for me personally #but. I will admit that I have that deeply annoying personality trait wherein if a billion people get into something...#for unknown reasons my own desire to learn about and get into that thing plummets. hashtag hipster. hashtag annoying #so that's kinda why I've never explored a lot of mega-popular musicians #(see: hozier; mitski; boygenius; taylor swift; one direction; noah kahan; etc etc)#+ obviously I don't make quality judgements off of that. I've heard some hozier songs. he's very good. I like handfuls of TS and 1D's music #but I don't have the drive to Also Get Into It #which means I never have to fucking melee for tickets in the queue ahaha and I am very grateful for that #but idk. I think there's something to be said for purposefully seeking out midsize or small acts. I don't really like stadium shows!#my fave concert this year had less than 100 attendees and the lead singer walked right off the stage into the crowd #everyone was chill and gave him space (this was the friday pilots club show)#and I think I can compare it to big vs. small fandom #small fandoms tend to be well-behaved bc everyone knows everyone and beef poisons the whole space lol #and also it's a matter of numbers! the more people who are in a space... the higher likelihood someone's an asshole #and I've been in tiny fandoms that blew up (hellooooo omgcp) and saw that happen firsthand #and I sort of suspect that rule holds true for concert spaces/music fanbases! more people = more variables = higher likelihood of foolery #hell I think of when I was really into 2010s alt rock DURING the 2010s and had to deal with assholes at alt j concerts hahahah #and it was just because I *was* into the music that WAS of-the-time in 2015!!!!#and now as an agèd 20something who likes metal shows I'm just chilling and watching pits form at lowkey 1400-capacity venues #because that's the scene! and I'm not in the thick of it with the current Music Of The Hour #anyways all this is to say that I don't think noah kahan is bad or untalented or unworthy of seeing!!!!#clearly he is if I'm going to fork over $70plusfees to see him with my friend #it's just that I'm grateful my tastes have veered into the cheaper side of the music industry.#I think I'd keel over if my favorite artist was TS and I had to deal with. all that. to go see her.#stronger than the marines etc etc

every time i try to do something scary on purpose for my social anxiety the universe decides to add in unexpected situations 😔

#i was supposed to go pick up a package and then i was like. ok wait. ive gotten good at buying something while pickiing a package up. what #if i also buy stamps #bc you have to ask the cashier for those (same as with the package)#and it was just at my cornerstore so it's a safe nonscary environment #well. as not-scary as any store can be.#but. there were a lot of ppl there. which! i thought would be fine bc the line was still relatively short but. what happened was that they #opened another register.#and i was queuing for the reguster that had stamps and handles packages #and i would have loved to stay at the queue. but. only one person went to the queue of the new register. so there were 2 ppl in line before #me. one already had their stuff on the conveyor belt and the other was about to put their stuff there too #and the person who went to the other register only had like 2 things to buy. so. it was me. in line behind 2 people. versus an almost #empty register. so. i had to switch to the free register before the cashier had the time to b like 'there's a free register here!'#bc i don't have a script for hearing that and saying 'no' !!!#so i just. switched over and bought my snacks. leaving the store with no package and no stamps.#bc if i hadnt i would have had to say something i dont have a social script for and probably stumbled on my words and gone red and dizzy #which. not ideal.#and this sucks ass bc all i really needed was one (1) success in a social situation #bc this week has been kicking my ass social anxiety wise #usually when i go and get coffee from a coffeeshop they dont ask me shit and just make my order to regular milk which. ok. i dont have an #allergy or anything. i just think plant alternatives taste better in coffee #but this week. i got asked 'do you want that in regular milk?' and i was not expecting that #so i was like 'yes please 😊' and drank my grossly milky coffee dreaming about what i could have had #and that happened TWICE #after the first time i did think about it and decide i could have said 'do you have oat milk or something' and then the barista #could have either said yes or no and both of those would b easy to answer #but instead of asking if they have oat milk i just said yes. again.#can you guys imagine some people speak without being scared #some people even go to the store without feeling even an ounce of fear. imagine #leevi talks

#Weekly TV Guide #What a balanced week :) Don't worry about next week yet don't even worry about it lol #Lots of silliness this week :D #Some kinda-sorta scratchy in that semi-finished/untoned way #Oh y'know what's funny? It's not gonna show up for a bit down the queue yet but lol #So anyone following me for a while - especially on VLH - knows that I doodle with my favourite .5 mechanical pencil #I've had it since I was in school and it Shows lol it is Old and Worn In #And then when I got my .3s that was all I used for like a year - I draw tiny and they feel Wonderful to draw with #But then I started to miss the richness of lines that my .5 can make so I switched back over #Well. You'll never guess what's happened again lol #I do still use my .3s in my alt notebook but I haven't been drawing much in my alt lately! Talking like one doodles a month!#And as is evident I am not a one and done doodle kind of person lol I like to make like fifteen in a given day #So I guess I've been missing it lol - it's so good for detailwork and soft shapes and shading! Feels so delicate <3 #My shapes have been feeling weird lately - general construction-wise style-wise y'know - and with my .3 it all just flows so nicely #I get so stubborn about Only Using The Correct Tool but like - I have multiple tools for a reason! Pfft #I'm having fun that's the important part haha I'll point some of them out when they post #Oddly enough it's actually kind of hard for even me to tell the difference by sight - it's much more a tactile feedback thing! How strange ♪

a modest assertion: if you see an image unaccompanied by any information about who made it (not to mention: when, where, how, for what purpose...), it should occur to you that something is missing.

#like obviously i have strong convictions abt crediting artists etc #but also just like. if you don't know who made a thing and you don't know when or where or why... a lot is happening to you w/o yr knowing #or alternatively things *aren't* happening for you that could be #and if you don't even notice that‚ you definitely can't remedy it #(re-encountering this post in my queue sent me down something of a rabbit hole‚ summarizable roughly as follows:#one of the classical formulations of the so-called ~Five Ws~ includes 'quibus adminiculis')#(which is roughly 'with what assistance'—#altho originally a viticulture metaphor according to perseus [or‚ you know‚ 'orig. in the language of vine-dressers‚' Because Classics]:#it's a thing you put yr hand on [ad + manus]‚ and then a prop for vines‚ and then a support more broadly—#but anyway‚ philological detours aside‚ that's a question that can lead a whole lot of interesting directions!)

Sorry for the radio silence for like a month or so.

I’ve been trying to catch up with my reading since I went crazy with buying physical books and I got hyper focused on that. And then I forgot about the 15 or so drafts in the drafts. Lol

I’m going to attempt to get to replies this week. Been also busy running my crew since my lead was off all week so energy was nonexistent anyway. But I’m gonna try my best today!

#ooc #Kiki speaks #mobile post #((I usually wait until I get a couple of replies and then get to them #and now I’ve got a lot and just overwhelmed lol #I’m gonna try this week to get to some and put them on a queue #motivation is nowhere to be seen and it’s been happening a lot #little one knows when I’m out of the house and looses his mind and won’t nap if I’m out trying to enjoy myself.#he has a sixth sense for me and I hate it. I can’t go out and see people or be myself #I hate venting but this is the only place I can do it safely with out my mom or husband seeing and getting on me for feeling frustrated #husband gets a therapist and I can’t. unavailable on Sunday—husband sees her Mondays (my day off)—Wednesday I have to watch my kid #so I don’t get the freedom that others in the house get #I’m suffocating and losing my mind and wanna work 6 outta 7 days now because of this.#I don’t feel better anyway after venting. sorry for clogging the tags)#/venting over

@doomdays ❤️ / starter call / ryan & alden

ryan feels more at ease here than he has in a very long time. he knows that peace is fleeting, has had that drilled into him for just as long. but he doesn't like living on edge, doesn't like walking on eggshells, and he really doesn't like being told that everyone is going to die and nothing is going to work out. he can't believe that. he chooses not to. so this place... it makes him feel calm. it brings him peace. because of alden. and earl and tammy rose and others around that are helping to build a community. he's not very useful with tools or building and has driven a hammer into his hand instead of the nail more times than he can count, but he's grateful to help do something nonetheless. even if he's better suited to bringing alden water when he works too hard. "you know.. I um... I think it's kinda cool that you found your...people." he doesn't want to make assumptions about alden's dynamic with earl or tammy rose but it feels like more than just helping out. "there's not enough of that, you know? but it's really...neat."

#writing: ryan edwards #they <3 #i've had this written for so long i'm just finally doing somethign about it dgohdsfg #doomdays #doomdays: alden #a lot can happen in one queue
