the burnout is real. i have to do smth about it b4 it gets worse bc i really want to enjoy the courses i'm taking rn and i WAS able to enjoy it in the beginning... but the only way i can feel okay doing smth other than study is if i finish this week's stuff by friday... wish me luck cuz the motivation and willpower are quickly draining! 😅😣 (also the fact that the sun's setting noticeably earlier is NOT helping [as much as i love autumn, this is my least favorite part XD])

productivity:

mol bio notes (i think i'm feeling confused bc the chemistry of DNA polymerase activity is just so disorganized in my brain 😑)

finished biochem notes for today + watched ninja nerd video on tca cycle bc i didn't feel like reading (and it actually surprisingly helped reduce the overwhelm bc he included a lot of info i got to skip over cuz we don't need to know it for this course 😅)

self-care:

yoga (like 10/30 mins bc i was so tired 😪)

So a tiny hc i have is that everyone in cú's family (mother side) blush in a way that is just... doesn't matter that they're the most unhinged and bloodthirsty warriors from the most brutal family of Ulster (and from Irish mythology tbh), doesn't matter that getting on their wrong side essentially guarantees you a horrific and painful death... it's nearly impossible to not think 'cute...' when they blush. It's much easier to get Cú (and Naoise) to blush than the other cousins (like Cormac or Conall) but when they do blush, it's quite the spectacle as well tbh.

#cu. ° ( lancer. ) #hc. º ( mini. ) #/ they all have a bit of the tsundere gene in them even if they would rather eat their arm while still attached to their body than admit it #/ i don't have any blushing icons for berserker/rider conall; but i do have them for his teen and fem version that i never got to use uwu #/ idk i just think its very amusing when the unhinged/bloodthirsty characters do something unexpectably cute; love me some gap moe #/ cradle of wolves but they all do a lot™

already imprinted on this one from the insta story, i was never gonna take it well

#yes i was listening to that clip on repeat on my last trip #kinda weird to be so attached before even hearing the whole song #bc inevitably it goes in an unexpected direction when it finally comes #but i love it

parting thoughts on ragna crimson (first cour)

i think it was... the first episode? that i didn't really vibe with. felt like a decent enough fantasy, but unremarkable in just about every way

THEN A WEIRD GUY APPEAR

iirc it wasn't until the second week that we really met crimson, which is kind of a shame because imo the show doesn't really start to come together until then. i like ragna well enough, but it's really the combination of the two of them that compels me

always love a duo where they have the same goal, but drastically different personalities/values/modes of operation/etc

always extra love a duo that's like "team up with me, a dragon, to kill all dragons then once we've achieved our goal you'll kill me too"

(like vanoe but with dragons. i think. my memories of vnc are actually very hazy)

and always extra extra love when ayu gets to just do his thing, playing guys who are girls who are guys who are etc etc etc

it's certainly not the best of the season, and still overall fairly unremarkable imo, but also not really bad in any way. if there's one thing i find lackluster i guess it's that i feel like they don't lean enough into this... pseudo-past life thing that ragna has going on (with the powers and presumably memories of his 'older self' passed down to him)

like ragna is still more or less his 'normal' self in terms of personality, which is fine, he's got a fun enough personality, but if he had some like... old man tendencies mixed in there, or if we saw more of his memories with crimson maybe? i don't know, just feels like something more could have been done with that fusion of past and present (or rather future and present)

looking forward to the second cour but at the same time... hoping this series won't be too long lol

#crab watches #ragna crimson #parting thoughts #i feel like... this isn't really a criticism but #much like vnc i feel like the main draw for me here is the Final battle #where it goes from ragna and crimson to ragna vs crimson #so it feels like the type of series that really shouldn't be dragged out for too long #unless each of the fights are going to be genuinely exceptional (which they're... not) #(like they're not bad. they're fine. but it's no snv) #anyway i guess it's just. the appeal of this kind of set-up (to me) is seeing these fools work together #possibly get attached #and have a very dramatic/emotional/well-choreographed final fight #toxic doomed yaoi and all that #but ragna and crimson don't really seem to be going in that direction like there's no fondness there lmao #which i actually like!! it's a bit unexpected and makes their dynamic fun in a refreshing way #they're working together but fully committed to fucking hating each other (or at best Not Caring about each other) and i love that for them #but it's just like. well if there's not going to be some intense character/relationship development #then the enjoyment of the series hinges all on the fights which are okay but not Spectacular #so... basically i'm still interested for now but don't think that interest would last for more than like 18 volumes max #and seeing as the manga is already 13 volumes and still counting... well we'll see

hey guys check out how hard i can make you like sukuna [gives him a complete character arc, full range of emotions, fleshed-out backstory, and complex dynamics with other characters that both harmonize and clash with the narrative themes of the story]

#i need so many things #i need him to laugh i need him to cry I need him to smile. #I need him to smile and no one knows it is real. #i need him to smile and yuuji knows it is real but sukuna himself does not. #i need him to have compelling relationships with the people in yuuji's life #& forge unexpected bonds of his own that teach him things he didn't want to know. #i need him to blur the lines between past present and future. #i need him to have a panic attack and blame it on yuuji because he's the king of curses‚ why is he hyperventilating? #i need him to realize he's getting attached to yuuji and then make yuuji's life 10000x worse because he's mad at himself for it. #i need him to discover a way to break yuuji only to realize it would break him too #i loveyou sukuna i understand you like no one else (<-version of sukuna that currently exists only in my head & deranged discord rants #tpg

I wonder if Quackity or anyone on his team expected everyone to get so attached to the eggs. Human pack bonding strikes again

#Quackity himself sitting here like well SHIT. #but I do wonder #like #was this anticipated or unexpected I’d genuinely love to know HSHFHSBF #cause from what I’ve seen people are REALLY REALLY protective and attached to their eggs #maybe it wouldn’t be AS much of an emotional bond if the eggs had like. basic mob AI or smth #definitely helps that people play them #it’s just so interesting rlly #nebula rambles #Qsmp

[self-insert-hell]

Sometimes I don’t mind looking at canon x canon ships with my f/o because I can just put myself in the other character’s shoes or just focus the loving expression my f/o has.

Other times, when I have those moments of struggling when seeing canon x canon ships, it turns into a bit of angst which may lead or may not lead to comfort scenarios.

#I wonder if anyone else does a similar thing? #ah how unexpected of me to become this attached to certain f/os #not an imagine #self shipping #op rambles #op talks

[drewsaturday]

a reboot etc is a good idea when it's for something where a reboot or continuation fits the kind of series the original had been and/or it's something i enjoyed and was not so attached to that the thought of it getting screwed up in a new form doesn't completely tear me apart from the inside, but gives me something nice to look forward to.

a reboot is bad when it's for literally anything i am mentally ill about. hope this helps.

#txt #ajl;sddfj i feel so hypocritical being excited for xmen 97 while being Terrified about these kinds of things that #have happened for other beloved shows #where .... i mean ok listen tss gave me so many trust issues i cannot get into ongoing shows #whole heartedly bc the trauma of an unexpected cancellation is forever haunting me #so i get into older media with the idea that i can know what to expect both in terms of runtime and story #it is safe it is nice #but when u take something that stands alone in preserved archived form like that and dig it up and zombify it #i am going to cry a little even if it does end up being good bc change is scarey #but for smth like x-men it's fine bc comic based stuff gets new iterations every couple years anyway a;jlksdkfj #continuations are quite different bc of how they fuck with an original's canon at times #whereas reboots scare me bc they change fandom landscapes and... other things depending on how it happens #but idk i think there is just a certain level of what i expect to happen mixed with how attached i am to a thing #that determines how much a reboot/continuation/etc will either terrify or excite me or both #and i feel like there is always an expectation that more = good but in reality please just leave it alone #so i can write fic in peace for the things i care enough about to write fic for #(also i do think ive learned enough that reboots/continuations are not the end of the world #where i am less terrified of them now generally even if i am tired of them #so that maybe helps)

ego, superego, id

characters based on this concept mske me so normal *foaming at the mouth* soooo normal

ethan, the jock.

ethan was always the life of the party so of course he would be at the moonwood mill massacre party. charlie tried their best to help him, but it was (of course) no use. his bravado was his downfall in the end, and became just another tally in the killer's count

day 2 of @windbrook's slashed cas challenge!

#ts4 #ts4 cas #ts4 edit #my sims #windbrookslashed #since i dont believe in consistency #heres a different editing style #im still experimenting and trying to figure out what i can do #so until i find a style that clicks and my autistic ass develops an attachment to it #expected the unexpected everytime i post #if u actually read my tags ily and hope ur having a good day/night #peace and love on planet earth #oc: ethan bravo #locust.png

[butdotheykiss]

im sorry, but was the kiss in a boss and a babe like bad buddy lvl wow? no. but is it on a constant loop in my mind cause Reasons? yes.

#what are those reasons? #i dont know #maybe its cher not even questioning himself #or that his ego refused to back down #or maybe its that boss felt excluded for so long and then here comes the one voice in the world that comforts him and its attached to #a person who refuses to exclude him from anything #eat with my friends he said #im here next to you since you seem upset he said #lets try new things he said #im not scared of you he said while stepping into boss's space #so in all the kiss was unexpected and yet made so much sense #but more than one kiss #its cher thinking about it and then kissing him back #and then its boss bringing their bodies closer #im feral #i cant wait to just see the fall asleep in the same bed after hours of cher getting to talk and help boss fall asleep #a boss and a babe the series #gmmtv #a boss and a babe

Quick and genuine question: how did you get into the bowuigi train anyway? Just curious is all :)

I will give you a genuine but maybe not so quick answer. Years ago I happened upon @cousineggplant's bowuigi art on twitter. I don't remember under what circumstances I found them but I remember thinking the pairing was cute and buying their doujin when it was available online (this was like 2019?2020?). At the time there was like no community for this ship, I think AO3 had like 8 works back then? I'm still following @cousineggplant, I actually found out that bowuigi had made a resurgence because they started posting about it again. In reality if it wasn't for them y'all probably would have never gotten all these comics out of me!

#you bet I read all the fics on ao3 that were available at the time #I've always been attached to unexpected pairings though #I have a lot of rare-pairs

Actually this may come as a surprise for the people who know me from Asoot/the Nijiue siblings but i really don't like Iroha at all, i remember not liking her that much even back in the day when chapters were still coming out.

And it's crazy because i would never have made them if it wasn't for the voidswap au where i was like "huh since Iroha is taking Yoruko's place who could she talk to in that scene from chapter 6?" Then i started thinking and working on Hitaru, Jiro and Akemi to use for that, which ended up not even happening since voidswap was canceled.

#then i became very attached to those 3 #I'm happy that they got a place to shine in Asoot #+ if it wasn't for that i wouldn't have made the nijiue parents and Mako later down the line #+ some other things i can't say rn cuz spoilers #so yeah overall life does take you to some unexpected places i guess #sdra2 #asoot #sdra2 voidswap au #Hitaru Nijiue #Jiro Nijiue #Akemi Nijiue

favorite poem?

Mm... If I really had to pick only one... "Sympathy" by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

#Tips. #Evenin'. This is a bit unexpected. #Not that I mind. It's kinda sweet‚ in a way. #(( #for those of you who haven't been subjected to my rambling abt Ophie's background: #her attachment to that poem goes deeper than being trapped in Rapture. teehee #thank you for the ask btw <3 #I still have the other ask Chi sent sitting in my drafts because my brain refuses to form a coherent response
