The good the bad and the angsty

(Fave oc + New oc + Old oc)

AHA I waasnt joking when i said i wanted to do an october prompt challenge , I am .very busy tho so my compromise is to combine some prompts and skip others (</3) so I dont stress myself out and finish this on .december

ANYWAY starting great by combining the three first prompts! You can guess which one is which ^^

#my art #oc-tober #bweirdOCtober #the magical twins #tmt #heres some thoughts behind this drawing: i wanted to draw the three but they dont really meet corvin till like . a LOT later #and also they are Older when they do and i didnt wanna do this first prompt with their future selves (i will draw them really soon tho...) #so instead were getting a funny situation where they meet corvin while being younger/current age. and they would NOT take him seriously #we ignorin the flaws of this drawing btw .i have not done actual art for myself in like 2 months #its not that i HAVENT drawn at all . i got commissions and also the thing im working on has Quite a Bit of art #but its mostly writing so i dont draw THAT much lmao #we gettin ollie art this month woo !!!!!

my boss: you have to be more careful, even if we leave a little late, nothing we do can have any kind of mistakes me, who has a two hour commute home, and is not payed overtime: i think the fuck not :/ i might actually rush even more

#i really wouldn't mind staying that much IF THEY FUCKING PAYED ME THAT #but that mistake was done on a friday. at 11pm. on the week we didn't rest at all because i also had to come the weekend??? #and they didn't pay me the weekend either???? #i'm burnt out #and tired #and done #i hate it here so much #the ceo screams at us too #really. the amount of lawsuits i could fill #i've had three days of rest this month. THREE FUCKING DAYS #THREE FUCKING DAYS IN WHICH I'M TOO TIRED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE #yeah yeah venting whatever. #delete later

Went outside to smoke before bed and a car full of people absolutely belting out Bohemian Rhapsody drove by.

And I'm like, well I'm glad somebody's enjoying life, even if it's not me.

#we are VERY depressed right now my friends #i keep thinking there's got to be a way to fix this but i think i always get depressed this time of year? #which is so stupid cause i love spring #maybe it's when the vitamin d deficiency catches up to me #it's been fairly nice out but still too chilly for me to want to go outside and enjoy it #the wind is coming in off lake michigan which means 50 degrees is still fairly unpleasant #when you're a floridian transplant at least #also spring here is always way later than other places #because we're so far north #so we're just beginning to see the green haze of leaves #probably won't have actual leaves for several weeks #then I'll have three months to be happy

This paper is actually going quite well.

Too bad it's complete bullshit.

#I'm not lying #but I'm definitely not being brutally honest about the historiography here #look the first few works are technically all social histories but there's a qualitative difference from the later ones #and the politics is still important enough that I should get to call them political histories #Also frankly I don't care #I just need to finish the damn paper by midnight and then I will be free of this fucking course #I have never in my LIFE dreaded going to class before this course #And honestly? It's soul crushing! I have no will to succeed here! #My only motivation is that I liked the rest of the semester and I need to pass this class to continue the program! #the professor asked for an additional evaluation (still anonymous) and I'm torn about how brutal to be #because on the one hand it was an enlightening course and I am definitely better equipped as a historian than I was three months ago. #on the other hand every single one of my classmates had completely given up by the end because no matter what we did it wasn't good enough #and also the professor was just fucking mean a whole bunch. But in that subtle way where you feel crazy for noticing. #so the class was horrible but I don't want him to feel horrible but also maybe he deserves it??? I can't even tell if he's actually a dick #or just acts like one #which is perhaps not a meaningful distinction but if he doesn't mean to I'd feel bad being too harsh #though several incidents make me think he meant to #blegh. It'll all be over by midnight! #And then I can focus on studying for women's history and - joy of joys - writing a syllabus about Victorian fashion and politics #I fucking love historical fashion that's going to be absurdly fun

spent the summer prepping for and taking the worst exam of my life, riding out the lease at the worst place i've ever lived,* then being temporarily kinda homeless,** and getting dozens and dozens of job applications rejected. i had some fun in there, but my anxiety has been through the fucking roof on top of my regular summer depression.

then the last two weeks of august happened 😳

everything happens so much. somehow, i managed to find the perfect apartment for a reasonable rent, and now me and Books are living (together!) in a fantastic and charming new home- lots of space, big kitchen table, a balcony facing undeveloped woods, just off one of the major roads in the city that has my favorite grocery store and our favorite sandwich shop (where we were already regulars). plus, i've gotten not one, not two, but three (three!) job offers- and i can take them all!!! one is with a hospital where i did my favorite internship rotation, and i'm so excited that i get to go back there and get paid to do that job, it was a blast. another is right by my new place and it's similar to the other hospital, but it's slightly bigger and sees more complex cases, so i'll be comfortable and confident, but i'll still get some new, specific clinical experience in areas that i'm interested in.

and the third position is... literally my dream job. it's the job that's been the end goal since the moment i chose my field of study. grad school and the internship made me rethink all of my professional goals and push them back, thinking i wouldn't be able to get to them for so long because i'd need ~more experience~. but now i'm. uh. i did it. i did it??!

the two hospital jobs are just part time, but they both pay well. the other won't start for a few months bc my boss*** has to get insurance approval to add me to her private practice,**** but that's okay, because i have a lot of reading and learning i want to do in the meantime to prepare! and then it will start as part time working up to full time as i build up my case load, but i'll also get to decide my own hours and do some work from home. i'll get to work with my favorite kinds of patients! and i'll get fantastic professional development opportunities for specialization, if i want to. the other dietitians in the practice seem lovely, so i'm excited to work with them. and the pay is realllly good, gosh, for being fresh out of the internship, it's nuts.

so things will pick up as i go through orientation and onboarding for the two hospital jobs next month. but it'll get calmer again after that, so i'll have the time and energy to prepare for the more challenging work that starts later, which is really nice.

and in the meantime, i'll be tending the wee garden on my balcony and playing board games with the love of my life 💗

#* all of my windows faced a wall. the walls were so thin i heard a neighbor yawn once #my air conditioner literally broke ten (10) times in three months. they just stopped fixing it. i just didn't have ac. in june. in texas. #** like i was fine i stayed in an airbnb for a week and then with Books which was not ideal bc they were in a 200 sq ft studio but hey #*** this woman is... something else. she was also one of my preceptors during my internship #on my first day with her we went over the assignments i had the option to do and one of them was about my main terrible chronic illness #and i mentioned oh yeah i am very familiar with that bc i have it. and this woman. was EXCITED #like she was interested in and valued my perspective as a sick person. which is wild #also that was my last rotation and i got really sick during that time. i had a flare up and didn't finish any of my assignments on time!! #bc of that illness! which she is now familiar w bc i did an assignment about it! and yet. and yet #SHE reached out to ME months later to be like. hey i have this position open if you want to apply here's the link :) #and then i had to interview with her and she did not pull any punches it was the longest interview i've had and she asked killer questions #and at one point she asked the question. what do YOU bring to this profession w YOUR perspective. and i just... #i said fuck it i went for it i answered honestly and said i'm autistic and autistic ppl understand each other in ways nts don't #(but like. framed intelligently w references to published research and good resources) #and you have autistic clients already and you will have more in the future bc all of us are weird about food! #and. she hired me. this woman knows i am 1. physically disabled and 2. autistic #and she hired me anyway. scream. remarkable woman. i want to know more about her. #and i don't want her to regret her decision so i gotta be on the ball! #**** it's private practice but the boss the one whose practice it is she's on a soft maternity leave so she's not seeing clients rn #so she's managing the practice. and on top of that there's also one woman who's job is just admin and insurance and billing etc #so after i finish the onboarding paperwork (almost done already) i won't have like... any more boring paperwork #it's a private practice job and i don't have to worry about billing which is the nightmare everyone dreads. incredible INCREDIBLE #ANYWAY gosh. it's all a lot! but good! #oh AND it's Books' birthday next week!!!!! we're gonna go out with their family one night then with their friends then just us #and i know exactly what i'm gonna wear (a tiny slutty dress) and i just got their gift (which i know they'll like) so everything is so !!!

the fun thing about being a slob and also having cats that suck is the day-before-laundry-day Sniffing Of The Clothing Pile to see what's been peed on and needs to go in the wash

#charlie babbles #I was not intending to leave those clothes in that pile for more than a day or two but here we are a month later #I don't know what it was about october my brain shut the fuck off week one and then I got sick week two and it was hell from there #I haven't showered I haven't washed dishes I had clean laundry piled in three different rooms #yeesh #let's see if I can catch up before december

[gay-impressionist]

my last year of highschool, i fell in love with this girl. she already had a girlfriend so i kept my feelings to myself and from myself, downplaying them in my mind and thinking of it as a silly crush.

anyway not even three months after we met, she invited me on holidays with her family. as a thank you my parents bought her parents some fancy chocolate and i bought my friend a twenty-one pilots notebook... and. and a postcard with a funny line about being gay for natalie dormer, who we both loved. but it wasn't just a postcard. no. i wrote this entire thing on the back, crafted a message using lines from songs we both loved. it was meant to be a testimony to our friendsip, about the common struggles we had and how i'll always have her back, how much i loved her etc

looking back it was 100% a love letter. i don't even know how i kid myself into believing the contrary. i mean, i remember thinking it was a bit intense but i still gifted it to her and she thought nothing of it. it took her a lot more months to figure out i was into her and probably only because her girlfriend figured it out sooner.

we were two fucking morons huh

#i was so fucking dramatic #i keep cringing when i think about it bc WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT #but also it's so sweet and i was such a useless lesbian #ugh #how i kept my feelings from all my friends for several months is a miracle #bc yes. i texted her all the time and saw her regularly and talked about her constantly #but none of my friends knew #the first who figured it out was after 7 months #also i'm sure the girl i loved didn't know for a at least several more months #because about three or four months later we went on holidays some friends #in barcelona #and one day we went for a swim at night #it was super late when we got back so we agreed to shower in pairs (we were 8 and there was just one shower) #i called dibs and asked who wanted to shower with me #i thought one of my two best friends would volonteer bc i know they don't mind showering with me #but... the girl i was in love with volunteered. even tho her fucking girlfriend was here. #my brain still can't figure it out #anyway. yeah. she didn't know. #lise raconte sa vie

[shakestheclown]

the second im away from this guy i am so so sad and lonely and miss him i miss all the little things about him and i miss feeling somewhat cared for. but whenever in around him i remember exactly why i needed to walk away. i know this is a very common feeling but fuck how does one get over it lol

#this was about ? three weeks ago maybe a month i originally ended things #then i thought about it for a couple weeks and missed him terribly so i said we could try again #and IMMEDIATELY he was back on his bullshit - ignoring me not communicating at all etc #so a couple days later i was like ok nah we're done here. not in a mean way i said it nicely #and we are on good terms! no matter what's happened we've always been on good turns and maybe that's part of the problem #(​*terms) #like why cant he be evil or something so i can just hate him instead of having a quiet affection for him for probably forever . lol #anyway. it will never work out and i know that and im absolutely done with it but blah. sad

Dreamless AU: Where Dreams are Condemned

Of soul, enlightenment, kingdom of wyrm; In hidden groves, a godly mollusc blooms; On dawnglow’s reach, where moth brilliance lords firm; But beware! Deep rooted secrets build tombs.

This world is vast and old, more than any of us could ever hope to comprehend. It has borne many stories, some familiar, some not, but it treasures them all the same. This tale is not unique, nor will it be the last of its kind, but to those that live it, it is everything. And may you join them on this journey of seeking a more hopeful future.

Deep within the wastelands lay the domains of mollusc and moth, dreaming forth forests and light. Though not the only inhabitants of the area, a drowsy peace blanketed it, and, in a rare show of amity between two gods, their respective tribes joined as sisters.

Then, as they are wont to do, a wyrm arrived, shedding its greater form to mimic the local beetle tribe. It offered them glory, magic, technology, and more beyond what their wildest dreams could conjure. Seeing no reason to turn it away, the beetle tribe accepted, and from this union Hallownest was born.

The Wyrm held true to its word, and Hallownest bloomed into fame, becoming a world renowned hub for technology and magic alike. It was the pioneer of all pioneers, where all dreams were fulfilled and no question was left unanswered. Many flocked to its fertile grounds, seeking the enlightenment only Hallownest could give. For a brief moment in history, Hallownest reigned eternal.

And eternity shattered when Unn abruptly fell into poor health, spreading panic across kingdoms far and wide. Following an assassination attempt on the Pale King, the gates slammed shut, keeping both commonfolk and an enraged god contained. The Radiance retaliated, and Hallownest fought valiantly; blades clashed and fell, until naught but blood and broken dreams remained.

But it was not enough. Hallownest could not fall. To ensure its perpetuation, the Radiance must be vanquished. The Pale King turned to Void, the god killer, for a solution. He sought a pure Vessel of Void, a thoughtless, speechless, dreamless being that the Radiance could not penetrate, one that she would languish and die within. From within her prison of Void, she could not turn the populace on itself. Hallownest would be eternal.

And so it was done. Locked away, the Radiance could not harm the populace any longer. Peace would be guaranteed, as long as Hallownest stayed dreamless. A stasis befell the kingdom, the blessing of an unchanging world guaranteeing the survival of the masses. The world continued on without Hallownest, and Hallownest continued on without the world. As the years passed, it became a legend, a fabled land of danger and riches from which no one could return. It tempted many and claimed all; to journey there was to lose yourself. But to most, it remained a fantastical story, the shell of a once great kingdom now memorialized only in hushed whispers.

Lost to the sands of time, Hallownest would have been, had it not screamed, bringing forth explorers with renewed vigor. Among them is a strange creature, with chitin as dark as the lightless sky, a pale face that illuminates its path, and a nail that it wields ruthlessly. Cresting the borders of Hallownest, they, kingdom and creature, gaze at each other, watching. Waiting. Daring the other to take the first step.

A voiceless acknowledgement hangs in the air wherever it goes: the fate of the kingdom rests on its shoulders. But following it is an unspoken question: what path will it carve for itself?

Keep blades and claws sharp; fear word of the pale. Or join the victims of this sordid tale.

A Radiance-sympathetic AU where most of what happens is the fault of the Pale King. Loosely Somebody Lives/Not Everybody Dies, but most of the death happens off screen. This story is heavily steeped in my own experiences, and is not intended to be a lighthearted read in any circumstance. There will be a lot of discussion of morality, mortality, and purpose, but if you’re into that, welcome! I hope you enjoy the ride.

packaging job is mostly just lowkey and fun for me when its just logging things but sometimes when im behind the counter i want to bite things

#''hi when did you get your package'' ''i dunno'' ''oh can you check?'' ''not really.'' ''oh uh... can we have your card so i can check?'' #''no i dont have one'' ''ok whats your name then'' they give the name ''oh its not in the last three weeks. what is the box number?'' #''*snappy* um im getting this for someone else so i cant check ok?'' ''. okay. well i can check if your friend is in the log system'' #''overdramatic sigh and can hear her snickering to her friends as im trying to find her'' #''she is not in the system at all apparently'' ''oh she got her FINAL reminder like 2 weeks ago'' #''... we might not have it then but i can check'' ''REALLY? wtf'' #''ok no we dont have it'' ''wtf man. you seriously get rid of them???'' (again its been two weeks since she got the FINAL reminder'' #which doesnt get sent until several weeks later) #like if u came here with the actual info that i needed which is available on everyones card we get #and ur friend didnt wait literally what i think is a couple of months to get their package which is easily accessible #u would have gotten that! like how is that my fault dude. ugh
