finally a life update: i quit my job as a receptionist because of my boss who didn’t want to pay me my full salary but i got the money back eventually but it all was very stressful and i started being so anxious again. i took some time for myself and didn’t search for a job in a while but i was stressing about money so i had to look for something anyways. i went to a few job interviews a few weeks ago but they didn’t call me back but i probably got the job yesterday. i was at the job interview to work at the store and they called me yesterday evening that they want me to have a trial day next wednesday and if everything’s okay i will start full time job in january so i feel more secure now but the shifts are terrible because i will have to start at 6am very often😭

SNOWFALL OF HEARTS ; CORIOLANUS SNOW
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: coriolanus snow x tribue!oc part: three summar: coriolanus is torn between his harsh pursuit of victory and the growing warmth in his heart for erykah, his tribute from district 9 warnings: ooc coriolanus, murder/death (arachne), violence a/n: sorry this is a late update, been busy cause of thanksgiving! i also may or may not have watched tbosas in theaters for a second time... previous parts: one, two word count: 1.6k join taglist!!
Erykah sat behind the zoo’s bars as she waited for Coriolanus to show up. She looked around and saw many of the other mentors conversing with their tributes, most didn’t seem happy to be there. Coriolanus isn’t like that. He doesn’t act like the other mentors do.
Her thoughts began to spiral as she wondered about his real motive. What’s different about him than the rest of them? He probably only cares about the reward.
Before she could make more assumptions, she saw the blonde walking up to her. She got up from the mossy tree she sat under to walk over to him.
He held a navy blue napkin in his hands that contained a sandwich cut into two halves and two cookies. Erykah’s mouth watered at the sight of it. “This for me?” She asked him eagerly, her stomach growling at the thought. Coriolanus nodded warmly in response to her hunger and gave the napkin to her. She took it from him with a grateful smile.
She turned her body to the left to see a mentor taunting her tribute with a bottle of pink liquid that Erykah couldn't recognize. “One thing I learned from living in the districts is that hunger is a weapon. Your friend over there seems to know that already.” She spoke to Coriolanus in a slightly disgruntled tone. “She's anything but a friend, trust me.” He reassured her.
His voice quieted slightly as he leaned in closer, though the bars prevented him from getting as close as he wanted to. “I might have a chance to help you from out here. I’ve made some suggestions to the game makers and their talking about having the audience send gifts, like food and water.” Maybe he does care about me, Erykah thought as he explained to her.
“You just need to get their attention. Maybe you could try singing like you told the interviewer yesterday?” He brought up the idea cautiously, not knowing if the idea sat well with her. She pondered for a second. “Do you have a guitar? I usually play that back in nine.” That was her only reason for hesitation. “I’m sure I can ask around.” He said with a reassuring nod.
Erykah nodded back at him before taking a bite of the sandwich. She hadn’t had a real sandwich since before her dad passed, that had been six years ago. “Thank you, Coriolanus.”
She thanked him as she swallowed her bite. She looked up at him as he stared at the food in her hands. His eyes moved up to hers as she caught him. “Just call me Corio.” He changed the subject, hoping you couldn’t tell. “Well Corio, you can have some if you want.” Erykah offered him some of the food as she tested the new nickname out. “No it’s for you.” He kindly insisted. “I saw you staring…” Coriolanus got nervous from her comment as he gave in and took the cookie from her hand.
“I always thought that there was plenty of food in the Capitol.” Erykah told him as she went to sit down. “Not in my case.” He responded with a nonchalant shrug.
She turned around to see one of the younger tributes resting her head on her district partner’s shoulder. The girl didn’t want to be here, then again who would? “That little one. She’s just so young, so sweet… She reminds me of my little sister, Magnolia. Can’t stand to think how she’s doing without me.” She told Coriolanus sadly. All he could muster up was, “I’m sorry,”
There was a moment of silence between the two before Erykah spoke up again. “You seem like a good man Corio. Wish I met you differently…” She told him with a sad smile. “Maybe you could’ve come to one of my shows. Had a drink, maybe a dance or two.” As she spoke, Coriolanus’ eyes didn’t leave hers. He was hanging onto every word she said. “Yeah… that would’ve been nice.” He agreed with the same sad smile she wore.
Their conversation ended abruptly as the tribute from earlier finally got the bottle from her mentor. She pulled the pig-tailed girl in closer, so her neck was poking through the bars. The redheaded tribute smashed the bottle on the bars of the enclosure and drove the bottle into the mentor’s throat.
Erykah watched as Coriolanus ran over to the mentor and grabbed her body, holding her in his arms as she choked out blood. He called out for help as he sat there helplessly. Erykah hid while peacekeepers shot at the tribute. She could hear the girl's body collapse as the peacekeepers stopped their shooting, now moving over to drag Coriolanus away from the mentor’s body.
Erykah sat up after the chaos. She saw that most of the other tributes in the cage didn’t want to leave their hiding places, fearing that there were peacekeepers waiting for a chance to shoot at them.
She was scared. If the tributes don’t have a problem killing their own mentors, then they’ll have no trouble killing me. Who could she trust? She didn’t have any allies. She supposed Panlo counted, but they had only talked a couple of times. Likewise, she would be alone in that arena. Let’s hope I don’t die alone.
Tumblr media
Erykah sat on a bench with her left hand chained down waiting for a short man, who she assumed was Coriolanus’ teacher, to finish talking.
“Dr Gaul wishes you all to preview the arena this afternoon with your tribute. Later this evening there will be a televised presentation of each tribute. You'll have an hour to discuss strategy.” The man walked off and took a small vial out of his pocket, gulping it down. Coriolanus sat down with a tense look on his face.
“I'm sorry about your classmate.” She uttered apologetically. “It's fine. Are you doing okay?” He attempted to change the subject. “The dress is my mom's, it's the only thing keeping me calm right now. Reminds me that I still have them waiting for me at home.” Erykah choked out. She sounded as if she were going to burst into tears any second.
“My mother used to smell like roses. She died in childbirth, I would’ve had a little sister.” Coriolanus smiled sadly at the memory of his mother. “I'm sorry Corio.” Erykah attempted to move her hand to hold his, the cuff attaching her to the table prevented her from doing so. He moved his to hers instead after seeing her try.
“What about you Erykah, how’s your family?” He changed the subject, gripping her hand slightly. Nobody around them, tributes nor mentors, seemed to notice the gesture. Erykah did. Her heart fluttered at the contact.
“Well… My dad passed away when I was twelve… so it’s just been me, my mom and my sister since then.” A look of grief as she told him. “I’ve been providing Maggy since then.”
“What about your mom?” Coriolanus asked her with a concerned look on his face. “She left us after it happened… she’s back now but I just… I can’t look at her the same.” She got a tighter grip on Coriolanus’ hand as she talked more about it. “I’m just worried that if I don’t make it back she’s going to leave like last time. I can’t leave my sister Corio.” Her voice shook as tears threatened to spill out.
“Good thing you’re not going to. I'm going to get you out of that arena, Erykah. I don't care what I have to do. I'm going to get you back to your sister.” He looked into her sad eyes and rubbed his thumb over her hand in hopes it would make her feel better. Her lip quivered as she tried to give him a smile.
“Well I’ve heard there were some interviews that the tributes had to do. I’m going to sing.” She changed the subject, sniffling as she spoke. He nodded at her, “You’ll do great, I know it.”
“Snow, Dovecote.” His teacher interrupted their conversation. Coriolanus squeezed her hand one last time before getting up. Another mentor with long black hair, who Erykah assumed was “Dovecote”, followed after him.
Not long after their exit, the tributes were instructed to enter the same car that had brought them to the zoo; it would now take them to the arena. A majority of her time at the Capitol has been taken up by moving around. This is where she either died or beat the odds.
Tumblr media
Erykah stood in line waiting for entry to the arena. She fidgeted with her hands while she waited to go in. She heard footsteps across from her, Corio. He showed up by her side and gave a comforting nod as they began to walk in. 
The red lights of the entryway did not help with the uneasy feeling she had. “Enjoy the show!” An upbeat voice sounded as they walked through the turnstiles.
In a nervous reflex, she slowly moved her hand into Coriolanus’. He tightened his hand around hers. They continued to walk slowly and let go of each other at the sight of cameras. 
They walked around nervously as one of the mentors forced the camera on his tribute. “Hey, you! Get that camera on her!” Erykah scowled at him as you glanced around the arena. Where can I hide? It’s all open.
The sound of the doors closing startled her out of her anxiety. She looked up at Coriolanus who seemed to be just as confused as her. The loud windows of the arena started to open as the rest of the mentors and tributes were snapped out of conversation. Everyone looked up as the dark arena was brightened.
“I know you said you would get me back to my family, but I don’t know if I’m going to make it,” Erykah whispered to Coriolanus just before the arena exploded.

Devlog #125
Hi-ho, Wudge here! Gosh! I missed last week's update.
Happy holidays from Herotome!!
I haven't drawn anything this year-- oh but hmm, I could do a quick edit, here -
Tumblr media
Tadah! For anyone who hasn't already seen it, we got those 50 reblogs to make Warden shirtless! A pure version without the christmas lights went up yesterday, just scroll down my blog a bit or check out the #ro: warden hashtag.
I'm pleased with how much mileage I'm already getting from this picture, ha.
Anyway.
Seems like I'm gonna be focused on writing new scenes and drawing expressions for a while. They're some of the more tedious tasks for me, so I'll certainly be looking for every opportunity to do other things on the side - like coding.
Today I've decided that the LI sprites should have their eyebrows on a separate layer from the rest of their face, to offer me the greatest amount of variety in creating new expressions - and I've come up with a naming system for it, too!
Tumblr media
I'm looking forward to implementing this. Eyebrow shapes have much, much less variety compared to mouth shapes, so I might even finish drawing every possible eyebrow for every LI sometime soon. I've already gotten a strong start with Warden and Mia's eyebrows.
Speaking of, I did turn in more expressions over on Ko-Fi!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tadah!! Thank you again to everyone who has donated so far!
I'm realizing that in the set dedicated to Dia, Warden and Mia have the same mouth shape on the upper right side... A fascinating subconscious decision on my part.
Outside of art, I did write... once. Er, it went pretty okay. I'm usually the biggest hater of my first drafts.
I think my goal is gonna be to show off the abilities of all the characters as equally as I can; Warden and Jade have had their time to shine (during the job fair and flying MC home, respectively), and I think MC, Griffin, and Mia are gonna be queued up next.
I'll put the rest under a cut for potential spoilers and further rambling - as always, if you don't see the cut, make sure to check out my blog directly!
I have a good idea of what I wanna do with Griffin (it may or may not involve obliterating your rent debt, and I may or may not have written about that in the first-draft-I-don't-hate).
I've been thinking that this scene would involve a change of clothes btw, and did some fashion concepts for Griffin that I also don't hate;
Tumblr media
I'm not super sure what I'm gonna do for Mia's eventual ~special show-off scene~, but I'm sure it will come to me.
For MC, I want to show off her relationship with the city, and showcase how qualified she is for the job in a low-key way. I recently discussed with a friend how Men in Black is a huge source of inspiration for me... Y'all know the scene where Will Smith has his interview and did things differently from all the other candidates?? I kinda wanna capture that vibe...!
And ah... I think that's about it, Herotome-wise.
Wudge-wise, honesty hour - I've had ssssome mild health concerns this year.
I don't want to go into detail; I want to say it's been like... nothing life threatening, thankfully, but a lot of small physical inconveniences that pile up and make it harder to concentrate.
I did rest a lot last week so no worries. <3 It's just that parts of my body have been weird and annoying, and I think it's helpful to acknowledge that the flesh prison can be a weird and annoying place. But I value it! And I'm doing my best to take care of it. Health comes first, etc, etc.
With this new year, I hope you guys take care of yourselves as best as you can, too. The person who's most qualified to take care of you is you!!!
Stay safe and keep warm,
Wudge.

Intact, a defense to unmodified body
Yesterday I was checking my emails, my newsletter subscriptions more specifically, and I found this cool article about this book "Intact, a defense to unmodified body", which was also an interview with the author, Clare Chambers. I personally didn't know her before that, but I think I'll buy the book sooner or later cause it intrigued me.
Here's an excerpt of her interview
“Our culture is constantly telling us that our bodies are never good enough,” she says. “Shame about our bodies is something we absorb from the media, from commercial interests, and from each other. Our choices are strongly shaped by our social context — [...] So what is the cost of [opting out]? The fact that we want to have a body that is a certain way, and the fact that we associate a body that doesn't fit into that model as being something shameful, and the fact that there exists a procedure available to change the body — those are all socially created facts. They don't come from our own internal autonomy. This isn't to say that people who choose these practices are somehow duped, or that they're irrational. It can be absolutely rational to choose to undergo a procedure that brings your body in line with dominant ideals of attractiveness.
She went on speaking about how women are particularly targeted by these social standards; they waste their time to adhere to a beauty standard that emphasizes youth, a period of a woman's life in which she's more vulnerable. Metaphorically speaking society wants us to be eternally young, naive and insecure. This way we are chained to a standard we're afraid to challenge, while wasting our time and resources in order to reach it.
"Under sexist social norms, women are valued for their looks, not for their achievements. It is idealizing the point in a woman's life when she is less experienced, less wise, less competent, less powerful. It also provides women with something constantly to be worried about, in the sense that the aging process is something that takes up a lot of our time, a lot of mental energy, and a lot of our actual material resources. [...] It's not a surprise that many of us would participate in these structures. It is also not a surprise that women, when so much of our value is connected to our appearance, find value in engaging in that activity. The question is, what is that ‘beauty’ embodying and what are the consequences of not conforming?
After reading this interview I read another one I found by googling the book, I'll leave the link down below, here's another interesting excerpt
I find the phrase “getting your body back” so fascinating, and so telling. [...] What’s so interesting is that the phrase isn’t something like “getting slimmer after pregnancy” but rather “getting your body back”, which implies that the body you find yourself with after birth is not really yours. [...] But why should the pre-pregnancy body be more truly yours than the post-pregnancy body? After all, the average woman lives with a post-pregnancy body for longer than she lived with a pre-pregnancy body. If the ‘real’ body is the post-pubescent, pre-pregnancy body, that’s a body that a woman might have for only ten or twenty years out of an average lifespan of over eighty. ‘Your’ body that you are supposed to get ‘back’ is a body that was only ever going to be a temporary one. So the language of “getting your body back” is another way of saying that our actual, existing, real-life bodies are wrong. They are not good enough. They need to be returned to some idea of how they ought to be. And how they ought to be, in this narrative, is slim, youthful, focused on looks rather than accomplishments. These are ideals of femininity that do not serve women well.
I hope I'll find the book as interesting as its premises, I'll keep you updated!

I didn’t even realize I had like 9 messages in my inbox all the way back to Jan 12th… a couple were asking for updates which ironically I just posted 2 days ago. But why not post another quick update… I think I mentioned at the end of that one that short frequent updates are better than long ones months later…
So the “tentative” discharge date is next Friday. Pretty sure the meeting with my Nana, doctor and social worker is Tuesday. Then the next day is my therapist and myself. I was hoping my social worker could be a part of it too but she’s out next Wed-Fri.
So todays meeting with my doctor:
She told me that the IOP program that normally has a 2 month waitlist is now just 2 weeks. So I could start a lot sooner after discharge. It’s a really good program but it’s a lot of fucking work and a six month commitment.
She said how if I need to go off unit for the interview she’d give me a pass and I was like woah woah woah you said no more passes??? And she was all “it’s therapeutic”. So I said so can you retract the state application and give me a pass home and she said no. So I dropped it. Cause months ago she said no and she was DEAD set on not changing her mind (or so I thought…).
So then I said since it’s my last weekend here can I have an order to use a mini crochet kit and she said no. Then she said it’s your last weekend or maybe it’s not. And I was like what are you talking about? And she said that on Friday I’m not ready and tell her I think I need another week… and I interrupted her and was like that’s not happening.. I can’t keep doing that.. and then another week and another week. Then she was all “and maybe you want to give V (social worker) a proper goodbye” with a smirk.
So then I told her how yesterday was a roller coaster as it normally is and last night I self harmed. We talked a little about that. I don’t really remember how we went from that to this next part. I was shocked so I think I instantly forgot the minutes prior.
This woman has been ADAMANT that I do not need any home passes before discharge and not even for safety reasons (I snuck stuff back in all passes before). Nope. She just thinks it’s not going to be productive and I just need to discharge and see how it goes… So when I asked her nonchalantly a second time during this meeting and after admitting to self harming last night, for a pass home next week, she said she’d think about it. I was shocked and still am shocked.
Also how is this supposed to be a short reply just two days later and it’s turning into this…
Anyways she said we’ll see how the weekend goes and see how what my Nana thinks during the meeting. Instantly I said that nothing is going to happen this weekend, I want that pass…. But now that mindset is shifting.
God this is so long.. dare I even go into the thoughts surrounding my self harm? Ugh.. trigger warning ahead (maybe? Just to be safe).
So lately the self harm is just not bad enough. It’s never deep enough, never bad enough. Even though I’ve been told by both my doctor and social worker in the past that my stuff is severe and deep. A big reason why they kept me here for so long because it just never stopped and kept getting worse. I briefly looked at my messages and I think someone asked how I’m able to self harm while inpatient and another person why I’ve been kept here so long.. I can give more information in those replies. But yea so it’s definitely gotten highly addicting even though my doctor argued against me that it’s not an addiction so we settled on common ground, it being addictive. So much so that I don’t even care about that pass now. You don’t even know how much it pissed me off that she wouldn’t give me one back then and how at the time I hadn’t self harmed in a while and had a whole plan up of how it would be a good incentive and help me prepare for discharge. All that and just a “yea I changed my mind” from her. And now she’s actually considering it and I’m like whatever. If I was leaving in a month then fine, I’d want that pass but if I’m leaving next Friday (or so I think) then who cares about the pass?
I think the first message from way back was asking if I sabotaged my discharge… yeeaupp. That seems to be the trend. I don’t know if I mentioned it in my previous update but my doctor said she’s not keeping me here for self harm. So I don’t see how me self harming this weekend is going to sabotage my discharge. Only rule out the pass. It’s like a tug of war in my head. It would make discharge a tiny bit easier having a pass. BUT there’s no guarantee she’s going to say yes.
In the end I told her how I do not understand her and she was like “I think you do, we’re similar” and I said yea and that’s scary. My old roommate asked how we’re similar and I said how I can’t explain it but she’s right. Like the past few months all the back and forth from her, she’s infuriated me. But even after all that she’s still an amazing doctor and I stand by us being a good fit.
End for now? Time to answer some messages…

Some updates
Had my follow up interview with the vroom vroom manufacturer last Monday. It went well. Seems like troubleshooting team position with no pager duty or off hours. One of my questions was about overtime and the guy who would be my boss indicated that if he saw anyone on his team logging over 50 hours for more than the odd one off week, he would be calling them and asking what was up. They also get the entire week of Christmas off and paid which is something I always thought would be cool. But we'll see. They apparently pay low based on what I read in a reddit thread
The initial visit of our friends was good. They're a good couple and their kids are adorable. They didn't tell their kids they were driving down to Disney/Universal. The mom woke them up early and surprised them by saying they weren't going to school. They thought they were just visiting us and were confused when they got up yesterday and went back to another day of driving. They're excited now that they're there.
I missed hooping two weeks in a row. Just completely overslept / forgot. Really bummed about that but I hope Emma understands.
Work is odd. My new boss was recently a fellow developer so she totally gets how bogged down we are. She's off next week and told us during our Thursday standup meeting that she will not be thinking of us, not to contact her and that our director is who we escalate to should we need to. She also said not take PTO for doctor's appointments or anything. Just do what you need to do and let her know. And if we get into any overtime situation to balance it out in the next week by taking off early. So that's good. I like that there's someone actively trying to be in our corner now. But I'm honestly so sick of healthcare in general that I don't know if I'd be happier in the long run or not. Guess we'll see what the offer is if / when I get one from the other place
Apparently Boy kitty was trying to get into another neighbor's house last night. She's the admin for our subdivision facebook page and messaged me about him. I gave her a summary of what went down and mentioned if she can get him to a shelter, it would probably be the best for him. I feel for them but since I experienced classic "no good deed goes unpunished" I don't want to get involved anymore in terms of interacting with their humans.
We binged Human Resources yesterday. I think I found a good link for The Shrink Next Door so maybe we'll start that today

Big life update!
So! A LOT has happened in my life lately and I just kinda didn't know when or how to say it, but I'm so excited for all these changes - GOOD CHANGES - in my life and want to scream about it all and need to get it all out.
So I've been in a long distance relationship since mid-April, and my partner came back to my city JUST LAST WEEK. LITERALLY A WEEK AGO. It's been wonderful having him around in person 🥰
We've been trying to find a place to rent to move in together all month so travelling to the city for my job is less taxing on me, but I don't want to keep doing my hotel city job bc
Hard exhausting physical labour
It's far from family and friends that we want to actually keep in touch w and visit
Housing is stupid expensive in the areas we were looking
I don't even want to be in the hotel hospitality industry
This job was just so I could earn some money and get an in on the workforce
So we changed plans and I decided to not move closer to the city for my hotel job, and instead stay more in the area I'm currently living and try to get a beauty job nearby. Even if it sucks at least it's in the beauty industry which I'm interested in and already have qualifications for. My partner is very supportive and wants to support me in my career, and luckily doesn't really care where we live.

How did I not post a single thing yesterday. I'm sad bc that's the first day that I've missed in a long time.
my interview today went SO BAD. it was so bad I got the rejection email not even an hour later lolllll. the interviewers were so condescending toward my answers and it seems like it wouldve been so stressful to work there anyways. I will take it as a learning experience for my interview tomorrow.
I have another date set for the 12th and I am hesitant bc he wants to go to the fair. what if it's version 2.0 of the parking lot guy and how am i going to have a quick exit there???? why did I agree?!? ahh. maybe i will try to ask him out for coffee before then. then at least if the coffee date is horrible, i can back out of the fair. if the coffee date goes well, then the fair sounds like a good second date.
there is also another guy that I like so much!!! haha crazy to see myself now when i felt like i was dying just a couple weeks ago. but oh my goodness. i am super smitten with him. I would love to go out on a date with him but he's in england!!! haha we connected through a mutual friend and honestly I was just texting with him as a way to help pass the time but somewhere along the way 😍😍😍. We talked on the phone for 8hrs(!) several times already. it's hard with the time difference but he always stays up all night to talk to me. even on workdays. He is just so sweet and I love talking to him. the conversation flows so naturally and he's hilarious. dry british humor is definitely my style haha.
so yes that is an update on what I am doing but also Idk what I'm doing haha.

supernatural s6e12 like a virgin (w. adam glass)
i can never watch a stormy scary nighttime flight scene without thinking of the thing on plane wing in the twilight zone movie from 1983. that movie must have been in heavy rotation on tv at some point in my childhood (clip on youtube if you're curious)
(this is why it takes me 2 hours to watch an episode)
CASTIEL Let me tell you what his soul felt like when I touched it. Like it had been skinned alive, Dean. If you wanted to kill your brother, you should have done it outright.
great, great.
oh, dean. not gonna tell him about being soulless. why do you do this! writers, why must you do this kind of thing over and over and over 😩 please do not drag this out for ages, i'm begging you
BOBBY He's gonna find out, you know. One way or another, someone'll tell him, or he'll figure it out on his own. He's not dumb. He should it hear it from us.
DEAN Can we just leave it alone for the moment, please?
better be a short fucking moment, my guy.
the filming on this car conversation is SO DIFFERENT whoa. it's like they changed how it was filmed, different angles, you can actually see real stuff outside the window, exterior light showing inside the car. what's going on! it's nice, but whoa
Tumblr media Tumblr media
DEAN I was with them for a year—Lisa and Ben.
SAM A year?
SAM So then what?
DEAN Didn't work out.
DEAN turns up the music.
MUSIC It was a new day yesterday but it's an old day now
(a new day yesterday, good choice)
every time dean lies to sam "for his own good" i just want to smack him.
Tumblr media
PENNY'S SISTER They were just starting to get serious. She didn't want to seem, you know…Not interested. I just wish I'd told her to stay home. We don't even have a body to bury.
not sure what that look was about (wishing sam stayed home [???]->my brain could suggest leaving him at stanford but i mean no escape from their fate). dean giving sam all sorts of meaningful looks in this interview with the sister
man i hate when they have wacky hijinks in the middle of the serious episode. like when becky showed up previously. yucking it up about virgins
the show is so not subtle sometimes, sam's really gonna flex his empathy this episode
Tumblr media
(desktop background update, no change) pins in the motel wood paneling? bold.
BOBBY Yeah, yeah. Hey, how's Memento doing over there? He caught you in any lies yet?
DEAN Everything's fine. Sam says hey.
😒
SAM Hey, did we hunt a skinwalker lately?
DEAN Doesn't ring a bell. Why?
SAM I don't know. Just...déjà vu or something. Are you sure? I could have sworn—
DEAN You got to remember, your eggs are still a little scrambled, right? But, yeah, I'm sure.
that deserves several smacks. damnit dean.
the coloring is very unfortunately orange again in a lot of these scenes :( and i don't even know what to say about bobby's ex. weird styling choices. not great lines. mmrgh
preemptively cringing at this sword in the stone bit. god it went on for SO LONG.
Tumblr media
SAM Um...Look, I-I would hug you, but—
CASTIEL —that would be awkward.
was that really necessary?
welp, no surprise cas spills the beans. thank goodness. but also DAMNIT DEAN.
huh, so i really expected sam to get mad at dean for lying to him but i guess he's too swamped by guilt over what he feels like he did.
Tumblr media
thought this was nell from hill house for a second. so i guess this must be eve. don't know much about her from fic lol
DEAN Cas. Friggin' child.
--
DEAN Sam, Death didn't just shove your soul back in, okay? He put up the great wall of Sam between you and the things that you don't remember. And trust me when I say that the things you don't know could kill you. That's not a joke.
SAM All right. But I have to set things right. Or what I can, anyway.
DEAN It wasn't you.
SAM You know, I kind of feel like I got slipped the worst mickey of all time...and I woke up to find out that I had burnt the whole city down. And you can say it wasn't me, but...I'm the one with the zippo in my pocket, you know? So I'm not sure it's that cut and dry. And, look, I a-appreciate you trying to protect me. I really do. But I got to fix... What I got to fix. So I need to know what I did.
DEAN But you don't know how dangerous that could be.
SAM What would you do? Right. Same thing.
DEAN Sam...

hello! prepare for a long chatty life update. I went out with friends last night and it was so nice wahh. then I slept nine hours and that was glorious too. turns out this week’s sleep trouble was just my usual pre-period insomnia and not my new magic sleeping meds failing me. phew!!! I took Pip to our new vet this morning for his annual checkup and he was such a sweet boy even through the indignity of many shots. 😭😭 I love my little dog so much. also when Pip sits his front paws point outwards in a way that makes him look like he’s posing, and today the vet techs were like ‘awww how sweet! you know that’s actually a genetic deformity, right?’ I was like ummm excuse me. this is the best dog who has ever lived and he is perfectly formed in every way so think carefully about how you describe his flawless & unique paws please!! anyway he is in excellent health and three different people independently praised him for being so lean & well-conditioned. I can’t wait for fall (and/or to get him to seattle) so we can resume his preferred 70 min walks instead of the 30 min forced marches we are limited to in the summer.
then I came home and started working my way through one of the books I bought on evidence-informed learning design in training contexts. it’s interesting so far! not a lot of new content yet but it’s kind of nice to go back to basics and resolidify my understanding of core concepts/frameworks. I feel like it’s making me a bit sleeeepy though so I might just do an hour each day instead of trying to power through. I have four weeks left before new job starts… I think I just want to read two or three of these fairly dense books so I go into the first month feeling like I have an understanding of how the L&D profession overlaps with/differs from the classroom pedagogy stuff I’m more familiar with. I also want to read more about the history and structure of my government agency so I have at least a rough mental framework to fit first-month new information into. THAT SAID as psyched as I am to get started on a New Project (tackling a new job lol) I need to remind myself to also enjoy this time and try to use it to really fully decompress from the year and job search stress. it’s okay to just let myself enjoy this month of very few responsibilities.
next week I need to reach out to my current boss to let her know that I accepted the position… and I need to do that sooner rather than later because they’re starting to process my security clearance and that involves interviewing my references. I hope she isn’t upset with me for kinda changing gears after we talked last, but I’m also reminding myself that it’s normal to change jobs and that I went above and beyond trying to make things work with them… they didn’t move fast enough to make it feasible for me and it’s okay for me to make decisions that prioritize my own long-term future (because academia sure as hell won’t do that for me!). I can’t decide if I hope the grant funds come through & they let me do it as a part-time position with support staff, or if I hope it doesn’t come through and my energy is just freed up to focus on the new job + creative projects. we will see what the universe decides.
we released the first two episodes of our hockey fandom podcast yesterday and have gotten a nice response so far! I am deep in planning/research mode for future episodes and might spend the rest of the afternoon working on that. I feel like my brain is a little bit too fried still to write short things or fully dive into my new long project (I need a bit more rest/recovery I think) so I’m gonna let myself continue taking a little break from writing and instead focus on building out this other project so it’s up and running by the time the job starts. ooh and I am also going to beta a friend’s fic this weekend—tonight or tomorrow tbd.
okay let’s see. going to drive to target now to pick up a curbside order and then I think I want to lie in bed doing nothing or maybe thinking a bit about podcast planning. I have this idea that if we can create like… a planning structure of some kind? a brainstorming and research template kinda thing? it’ll help organize and streamline our prerecording thinking so we can have deeper conversations in the actual recording session. I like the idea of designing a repeatable learning exercise that will make the planning process more seamless, so if we get really busy with real life stuff we won’t have to expend as much intellectual bandwidth on the prep & planning work each week. idk just something I am kicking around we’ll see. mmkay! if I go to target I will have cherries to eat 😍 so it is time to make the quick drive over.

Ah Miss Ana!!! It's been a while since I've dropped in with any messages or updates (I've been a silent watcher for a while though).
My internship (and checks) went great, especially for a remote set up. It ends next week 😓... However,
They want to extend me through Grad school (I can set my schedule too) and send me on trips for big meetings!
I think the last time that I messaged you, I definitely was on the high of graduating and having an interview but, I really wasn't confident in anything from school because they always said "it'll be nothing like school don't base it off of your success in school".
Thank you for being such a good hype-man for all of us, even if it seems that we don't need that boost 😭. Much love always!!! 💕 (And yes, I got my apartment that I wanted too - moving into a freshly renovated and below market price August 20th)
- 🎓 (accounting) anonie
I also hope everyone going to Lollapalooza has fun, stays hydrated, and sends mass amounts of pics. Thank you 🤪
accounting/graduate anonie, how amazing is it to see you thriving like this!?
so that's a huge deal that they asked you to stay on after your internship. they must recognize that they have something very valuable with you and they don't want to let that go 💕 💕 💕 
and thank you for saying i'm a good hype man! that's something i actually take seriously, like has no one told you you're awesome today? let me be the first 🤣🤣🤣
the hobipalooza countdown is on. i got my bracelet in the mail yesterday (SQUEEEEE) and i'm so ready to see this performance he's been working so hard on. lessss goooooooooooo

wednesday, march 27th - day 251
late update due to the absolute shitshow yesterday was
what's on: Dive Back In Time by bicaso, Gen Kakon
sleep: 6 hours
screentime: 5 hours 27 minutes
productivity bar: 30%
tasks covered:
called uni office
finished uni application form
gave an interview (it went horribly lol i am NOT getting the program i applied for)
covered news for the day
tasks missed:
mock test
notes revision
japanese lessons
wins:
none
losses:
cried like a baby the whole day
slept very late...woke up very late...
forgot to write...and read
gave up a mock test in the middle
feeling: horrible and pathetic. my interview went so bad and i felt like such a massive fool that i ended up breaking down in tears in front of my mother + 1 passerby (feeling very embarrassed thinking about it...sorry my guy...). also very sad because i am most definitely not getting the program i applied for which i was really looking forward for it.
march is about to end and its been a month of desperately trying to stay productive and failing. time is running out for me. i know i won't be able to feel satisfied until i achieve a structured routine, and cover my four month backlog. i can feel all depression habits coming back...fucked up sleep schedule, too much screentime, poor hygiene, giving up on projects halfway. i can't allow that, i have to get out of this damn rut.
i'm also currently crashing at my cousin's place, and because of moodiness yesterday, i pissed her off and now she's not talking to me. she also probably told her bf to not to talk to me. (???) she's the one who pays all my bills online (and i give her cash in exchange since i can't do online transfers due to bank problems) but she's not talking to me and 2 of my bills are already due and i do Not know how to approach her about it. also the chronic back problems from sleeping on a futon on the floor for the last three months are catching up to me.
lessons for tomorrow (today):
you can't go back in time, look forward
journal/write your thoughts instead of spending 3+ hours ruminating
sleep on time!!!
don't get swayed by distractions...don't be a moron
it's called a learning curve, not a learning escalator
one day at a time
focus on the process, not the results
Every minute that I dialed back in time. Every single existence rewinds
Come back from the dive back in time

10:38 am
Nana went out with Uncle DD and Aunt Karen for the papers update for something...
I still have windblow....Be religious and be fair...
Hoping that Uncle DD will give me money for me to be able to apply and I still need to buy "Ginger Oil"....I'm almost out of fundings coz I shouldered our food and I paid our gasul yesterday it was on cash and it was from my own pocket... Like what I posted my salary is not big and only the gasul or gas or FIRE that I can shoulder here coz I have vanity and my son-dog.
10:45 am
I received my bugs or dust mite spray, I hope this is effective... I need the vacuum as well for mites and bugs and I need to get a job again...
Tumblr media
11:06 am
I don't like them here except for my nana and John....
I'm not gonna be a supporter for life....I"m thinking a different penis...
Even Aunt Karen I don't want her to go up.... I'm not a supporter for them since 2007!
I don't want anybody to go up except my turn... It should be my turn to go up....I have windblow... It will be my turn to go up...
11:17 am
I'm not gonna be a supporter of Aunt Karen and she will tell me how cheap I'am....They had their 15k pesoses parlour only for their heads...
2:54 pm
I still have windblow....I feel bitterish....
If you can read this Mitch, I didn't say anything that can flatten your image as you... I miss you and it is just weird, I have the windblow... I just wanna know if she gave me a "simple battery"???
Uncle DD and Aunt Karen are here now with Nana.... They just brought us a 4 Kimchi's, 1 left over chicken and I think 1 left over pancit from Chowking.
3:01 pm
I just watched Zach Sang Show interviewed Ariana Grande then I saw Poppy again, I remember her songs...
Is someone becoming Poppy??? I hate it I'm blown up for nothing... I posted my Poppy look from the previous years... Now, I'm becoming so ugly and fat...
I also wonder if Zach married Poppy? They look good together...
youtube
Tumblr media
3:30 pm
I just saw Zach and Poppy again...
The cute "money' song of Poppy... This afternoon looking for "Sugar Daddy"...
youtube
Tumblr media
3:40 pm
Times out!!! I feel bitterish...
youtube
Tumblr media
3:46 pm
Missing in action... Daddy-Bf... You never passed my way... You just passed me by???
youtube
Tumblr media
5:51 pm
I still have windblow....I feel fat and I literally gained and what a bullshit life... They just control me since 2007, they can't return the life that I deserve coz someone just gave that "simple battery" since 2007!
I can't afford to have a nose perfection and they can't pay for my lasers or to remove my deep smile lines. They planned to make me ugly and they can't pay for my beauty for my vanity they just took my 17 years,for nothing...
I literally gained hoping for some positive career in call center to save for my nose perfection, botox andf for gluta and travels. I will be 43 this October and I wanna look 18 again but of course it needs some technology. If I can just kill them coz they just made me older and ugly for nothing. They are heartless for doing this on me!
Someone is just observing me since 2007,copy me and learned my behaviour but never actually wanted me to be part of them.So, plastics!!!
I hate being called ugly or fat and short... I feel bitter... Tomorrow will go to Amazon,Eperfomax and Teleperformance.
6:12 pm
I'm having depression coz of money,angels... I feel ugly and I'm not progressing for 17 years...
7:50 pm
I'm really just wondering.... My mind is splitting... If the Concentrix here in Cavite is able to give a Manila Rate though I wanted to be Manila girl, I still need to save money...
But it is so good to be in Manila... I feel bitterish... I feel bitterish... I feel fat and ugly...
Uncle DD is not yet feeding Neko... I don't know they are just inside their house... I told him to give me a 1000 for me to use it to apply....But I can't let Neko be hungry,I pity her so much coz if I'm not around,probably Neko is already dead. I have heart,angels...
I feel bitter... The reality is unfair to me...They just wanted to be a supporter. I feel that I'm lower... I hate being lower....
Like we are really having financial tight budgeting. If Mitch became famous somewhere it is so unfair... Who gave me that "simple battery" since 2007???
I feel that someone is copying or interfering or just wanna observe me , once they copied me they will remove me... I feel that way...
7:57 am
My first thing to do on my list to do by tomorrow, Amazon then Teleperformance if not successful Eperformax if not succesful will re-apply to Concentrix. It is all about thickening your face and let them know that I can do the job and I can speak English...
I feel bad, I'm no longer a pretty woman....Time that I could be a pretty woman those fucking higher didn't get me. I don't wanna get a lower coz I have this attititude that I'm gonna tell that I'm supposed to be higher but I have a bad situation now unless I like you or I can use you on something...
Be responsible though I wanted you out of my hair! You know yourself.... I just can't fall right away...I'm gonna tell I'm supposed to be higher than you...
Though, I'm fat,I can't just fall right away... I still wanna know why and who is he???
I don't feel pretty anymore... Though, I dream to be a pretty woman and I was able to be skinny and appeared almost perfect on my physical aspect...Now,I have bugs bite... I have blemish on my butt...
I still dream of someone stronger, someone wealthy, someone genuine.. My knight and shining armour! Who can return me as Barbie! But who is he?? I need to know and he needs to know me!
I feel bad,I know I could be pretty woman now, I lost my self-esteem, I gained literally... I'm having depression coz of not having a consistency on my job and being a bummer again...I'm splitting but I have to manage!
8:46 pm
I'm a rebel and bitterish!
Tumblr media
youtube
9:28 pm
I feel bitterish...I still have windblow... I literally gained, I feel like rebelling and I feel bullshit at the same time...
Anyways, Uncle DD went out already with Aunt Karen and he told me he will just give me money tomorrow...
I feel really ugly....I feel bullshit, I can't accept that I'm becoming alone and I feel a wrong timing. I wanna do a laser lipo....I feel bad....I need a job at the same time... It is just dream in my head that how I wish I can do my gluta,I can do my botox and I can perfect my nose....What about my timeline as a woman? My own future... They just took it away from me WITHOUT CAREFUL ACT OR WITHOUT CAREFUL PLAN FOR ME.
My giving birth, I feel jealous,I didn't glow on a rightful place... They didn't give me a chance.
I also want to be known as as woman who can be lifted up... I hate men who are making me a supporter.
9:48 pm
I can't start my diet... I feel like grrr... I'm thinking of my job...I wanted to have my own house... I feel self-pity....I feel super ugly...
I need money... I wanna travel plus I can't go back to my dentist even to my derma...
9:58 pm
I literally ( My fucking finger ) fuck you whoever you are!!! A month ago, 2 months ago, the night I saw Black Daddy American, I was not fat on my tummy then after awhile I literally suddenly gained even having these bugs bite on me...
Someone put a curse on me, after I got my suspension letter and it became my ending...
Anyways, this is "Pretty Woman" yeah! yeah! She is tall but a pretty woman can be shorty as well as long as she is fit and well-fixed physically.
JULIA ROBERTS & RICHARD GEAR???
youtube
11:11 pm
The truth is both of my uncle didn't care at all if I still have my toiletries, coz my skin is kinda sensitive...
I badly need to get a job right,away angels! I need money....

Hello! How are you, hope you’re doing well! I am about to send you the updates for the episodes 5x06 to 5x09 and just so you know, he decided at the end of ep 9 that he is done for today. Even though for the first time ever, I encouraged him to at least watch one more episode but he refused and instead went to watch the Pride episode and then after that RuPaul. He is completely broken over the last episodes he’s watched and he is pissed at me over it as if I’m the one who wrote it. Also on Friday he only watched 6th episode because he spent all day watching Queen music videos and Freddie’s interviews and then yesterday he refused to look at qaf cause he was angry at ep 6. And then today all shit hit the fan. And then he stopped BEFORE THE BEST PART. The one fucking thing he has been waiting and petitioning for since the beginning and he just stopped without realizing it and it’s killing me because I want to shake him and scream about it to him but I can’t. So I am silently suffering inside while he has has been doing that loudly to anyone that will listen. His latest victim was the cat. Prior to the cat it was our grandma. She called him to check up on him cause she heard about the broken wrist but instead she found out about Brian and Justin. The last family member to be exposed to Britin. Anyway, here comes the spam.
Dear sweet anon! I woke up this morning convinced I had a bunch of messages for you in my inbox. Not quite prescient but perhaps I should have slept in today?
Which season of Rupaul is he watching? UK or Canada or a rewatch of an American season?
Oh Grandma Anon is in it now too! So the whole family is part of this madness by now? I love it. But also I feel for you because this entire season is painful and so far your brother has had Right Opinions so I think they're going to continue to be Right and he's going to be heartbroken.
Here we go...
