Semi update to previous post: I got made permanent in my job. I'm not entirely sure if I want this permanent job but I said I'd take it. There's a load of paperwork and stuff to do but at least it's not very stressful

#i kinda alluded to it #major life stuff #ugh it's terrible. it's an adult job. they were being arsey about accomodations but im gonna push for them more #general life update #work stuff

House Keeping:

If you have not seen your drabble yet, do not panic. You're not being ignored. Work/Life/being me is a lot right now and my brain is in some serious fog. I have the processing speed of an 06 dell laptop and the will to live of a deer crossing the highway.

I see you. I appreciate you. I'll get to it, in the meantime I'll keep my asks open because very occasionally the desiccated Chicken nugget that serves as my brain has a thought. And sometimes that translates into fic.

There is (possibly) a rework of Coax me Into the Light coming and I've got a handful of other ideas that keep my company on my work commute so stay tuned. My entir organizational system is postie notes and telling myself I don't need to write anything down because I'll remember so... Yeah. Things are percolating, just very slowly.

#before anybody says anything i have never played cotl in my entire life and i dont plan to. but. crow showed me some narilamb art #and i. well.. HMMMMM kinda fruity if i do say so myself.. #also i wanted to play around with the lambs design and had fun basing their outfit a little on crusader armor. mostly the cloth in the fron #i dont think id last 10 minutes playing cotl. partly because i suck at strategy games and not hugely drawn to roguelike games #and partly because i think i would cry real tears if i had to sacrifice someone despite fully knowing theyre nonsentient npc characters #i must admit i think the world and gameplay mechanics are interesting.. havent watched any playthroughs but ive been skimming thru the #wiki pages. kindareminds me of binding of Isaac but i dont have the patience for those kinds of games sadly #also apparently u guys are getting a sex update so i feel like ill be in full blast of whatever comes out of that #i might draw god of death lamb because i kind of have an idea of what their horns would look like. but im gonna hate drawing an outfit ugh #noooo dont usurp god and reap destruction for generations to come youre so sexy haha #cotl #cult of the lamb #cotl lamb #cotl lambert #cotl fanart #my art #myart #videos #speeddraw #progress art

Nothing is stronger than the bond between a girl and a piece of media they brushed off 10 years ago that they now realized is the greatest thing ever made

#In this context 'girl' refers to everyone this has happened to #I've already told the story about how I watched half of the first ep of khr and turned it off cuz I thought tsuna annoying #I did it with mairuma too I saw it coming out and just ignored it cuz I thought the concept was generic #And only picked it up when the manga was updating #Fukimono I read like up to when they go to the yokai world and never got to it till I got super sick actual YEARS afterwards #Sad to say but blue exorcist technically counts cuz I read 5 chapters ans stopped but it's cuz I got busy its not cuz I STOPPED liking aoex #I never stop liking blue exorcist this is for life #Jeweler richard anime I got to ep 6 and was convinced for a while it was mid and yeah the anime is but the manga/LN is amazing #I did this with a ton of vocaloid artists too #Let's not bury the lead (I say as bury the lead) #This post is actually cuz I've been binge reading yohaji #I have vague memories of looking at it so fucking long ago and thinking the first chapter was vulgar but once u get passed that hump wow #It's so good #I'm gonna make a separate post about hmmgm #Tell me what yall did this to thanks #Khr #Hitman reborn #Mairuma #mairimashita! iruma kun #fukigen na mononokean #fukimono #blue exorcist #ao no exorcist #Jeweler richard #yohaji #Fuck what's the full yohaji title #Oh well

Went to the bank to get some cash, bringing my sock knitting in of course, and the guy who helped me also knits, showed me a picture of his socks he's working on, we talked about knitting for like 20 minutes entirely forgetting i was there for bank reasons, anyway he gave me his number and we are hopefully going to try a little knitting group of just us

#hes just cool to talk to but also we are both so enthusiastic about sock knitting and knitting in general #best bank experience of my life i was smiling the whole time #knitting #update i texted him ! thats the part i always fail at so hell yeah. hopefully he wrote his number down correctly aaa #or that i read it correctly OTL

#first pic is an updated/edited ver of smth older to match design changes #and orikan... i know it makes sense for necrontyr to be fully covered up but hes such a petty contrarian that i think it feels right- #for him to throw traditional covered up clothing out of the window after he sees that his generation will not die. #idk. was thinking about it a lot i have more to say but its probably not interesting #40k #orikan the diviner #skitarii #iron hands #oc: pallarex #oc: mu-15 #necrons #i have so much to say abt orikan man... so much to think abt so much to say. i love him. hes so... #also i just finished reading severed and it ruined my whole day i cant focus on anything noone told me it was gay FOR REAL #and its the most touching and heartwrenching love story ive ever read in my life and maybe one of my fav stories ive read full stop #fucking necrons man its too much. theyre so heartbreaking. #i will draw obyron sometime... i wanted to today but i slept all yesterday and a lot of today so im too sleepy to do anything except be sad #(over having read severed) #oc

#mod has had two of these drawn out for weeks and did the second one in between commissions #that's why it's been so long is because commissions are top priority #so mod is very sorry for all the delays. it's also life in general too but still #anyway enjoy tiny update #oh also there's an error but mod is too tired to fix it so if you notice it dont say anything #ask blog #ask dark pinky #dark pinky #pinky and the brain #patb #animaniacs

General li'l update

So, things have done anything but slow down for me in the real world. To keep it as vague as possible, there's a chance I'll be losing my job within the next month or so, though we're all currently working on possible solutions to this. Hoping for the best.

I've already done my panicking and preemptive grieving. 18 years in a single career is a hell of a run for someone my age, and if it has to come to an end then I've made at least some peace with that idea.

Still though, working every day to find solutions. To fix things. To keep surviving. It's exhausting, I will not lie. We're doing what we can over here.

There's so, so much good to look forward to this year. These are just bumpy patches of road. And some of the bumpiest roads I've driven on have taken me to the best places I've ever been. I'll be alright. I know I'll be alright. I'll be more than alright, by the time this is all said and done.

Been doing more reading of late, which I've been loving. You all are putting out such amazing work and I love bouncing in to read even if it takes me 3 attempts and a couple of hours to get through a posted chapter. Lovely escapes, all around.

My sister turned me onto a game ("game" kind of seems like an odd word for it but either way) on steam called Spirit City: Lofi Sessions. You customize a character, you have a little room, it plays lofi music at you and you can poke at a few playlists, build soundscapes around it (rain noises, thunder, wind, birds chirping, crackling fire etc etc) while your character mills about in spots doing things as just a beautiful little vibe-generator. You can collect spirit pals to vibe with you. It's just really cozy and nice, I love it. Highly recommend.

It has an optioning for in-app journaling, and I've been meaning to get back into journaling regularly just for the sake of my memory and everything else. That's been a huge boon over the last 2-3 days. It's got a productivity timer, to-do list, daily task/habits tracker.

Anyway, I've been making progress on writing but it's slow, staggered. Hit a bit of a wall last night with some of The Stranding where I wrote 8.5 pages of a scene and then just felt... unhappy with it. I had clearly lost the thread of why I started writing it, and needed to walk away to see if a fresher mind could find a place to rewind to and pivot so I can salvage it, or if I'm just gonna carve the whole thing out and set it in the Cut Scenes doc. The other 20 pages I've got waiting? Fine. Good, even. Proud of those. This one, I'm proud of what I'm writing but again... just feels more like floating aimlessly and bouncing. It was clear I wrote it while heavily distracted or with gaps between focus, so it jumps.

I'll see what I can salvage. Can't promise an update and am avoiding making it feel like I'm 'back on schedule' just to find something I can reduce pressure from in my life for the time being. But: I love you all. The Kudos, the views, the comments, the everything. It means a lot. You're all great.

If I do any generic vent/vibe writing, not necessarily attached to anything, I'll consider sharing it here for y'all. You guys deserve a bit of fun and sunshine <3

Have a great time everyone, love y'all to bits <3

~ Belle

I need a therapist who I can argue with and who will give me jewish advice ....a rabbi. I need a rabbi

#afakelj #seriously though #i thought my last therapist was good! #and then i tried to change some stuff and do some arguing #and the reaction was... mrrrgh #also idk. i feel like.... i don't want to have to update the therapist about what is happening in my life #which is stupid! of course i should they've got many patients #but i feel like what i just sit there talking about my week? i do that to my friends already #i'd like a situation where they knew me enough to already have a general idea of what was going on #so i could meet with them less frequently. say once a month #and then we could work on a specific problem i'm having and i could get advice on that and see how that's working out #i really think of therapy as brain and emotions doctor and where i'm at now i want...more jewish methods of dealing with life? #does this make any sense #.....a bubbe would also work in a different but similar way. i need one of them too T.T #but you see i pay the rabbi by dues to the synagogue. so i just have to find a synagogue i like (lmao just) #i have to marry someone and start raising grandchildren to pay the bubbe

I miss you Lorna… this is such a mess

This is an old message and I had several other similar messages, but I miss you guys and hope you’re all doing well!! I’m sorry to see nothing has improved.

I saw I was kindly mentioned by @awesomefringey and some other commenters the other day, so just wanted to log in and say hello and log back out for a few more months. 💕

Sending so so much love to all of you. Take care of yourselves and each other, please.

The video is still on YT.

#Anywayyyyy #The fandom added a whole lot more C to my C-PTSD #So a nice random message every few months instead of a freshly posted death wish is LOVELY. #Don’t fret. On meds and therapied but fresh tf out of money from it so @ L and H… lornasaurusrexx at g*ail is the PayPal if ur bored 🙃 #I hate to be like this but protect your hearts. They’ll never be able to look out for you guys and they feed these trolls ammo for snacks #and it seems to have only gotten worse. Gotta keep them hets hetbaited for their money whilst actively encouraging them to bully yall? Why? #STILL!? At this point it feels like they’ve both chosen that path deliberately now and I find it quite gross. but I’m also very far removed #So don’t worry about my opinions. Keep trusting your own intuition!!! You all see it. I love you guys and your beautiful hearts and empathy #But I hope they can sleep at night knowing the absolute fucking genuine WRECKAGE they left across the Big Gay War generation/era of Larries #Don’t worry guys I’m just as dramatic as ever. None of this has anything to do with them coming out or anything. Just how we were treated. #But trust I fuckin mean that shit from the deepest darkest pit of my Demon Larrie™️ heart. They encouraged this. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #Anyone who cares about my actual life updates: I’m a school nurse now and will be working at a bougie summer camp over break #Had a surgery I needed. Got new tattoos and piercings. In a happy and healthy relationship with the best dude for almost a year now. #OH and I went to New Zealand last year with Prettytruthsandlies!!!! We made a pact back in our Big Gay War/college days to go. And we DID!! #I got overstimulated and overfed and puked in Hobbiton. 🤣 (It was the best time of my LIFE GENUINELY🥰🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹) #Okay BYE LOVE YOU GUYS #There are better and more humane ways to maintain a closet ..like literally STFU entirely. Ignoring it and not exploiting a kid is FREE #🇵🇸

idk man i just feel like if i knew that the guy i’m working with was actually a slave under the threat of death i just wouldn’t berate and degrade him all the time

#can you tell i can’t stand veritas ratio #it has really been bothering me that people have been mischaracterizing him because they are desperate to make him a nice person #like. listen #this guy is not a misunderstood good guy #he is a complete asshole with a generally good goal #Doing something kind after showing no compassion for like 3 updates does not change his entire character #I am VERY glad he said what he said to Aventurine in the end #he needed to hear it!! #but that simply does not negate the rest of Ratio’s behavior and i’m very tired of seeing people pretend it does #also just to clarify i think he is an INCREDIBLE character and i’m glad he exists. i just don’t think he’s a very compassionate person #anyway back to my normal tags #love of my life aventurine #love of my life kakavasha #aventurine hsr #hsr #hsr 2.1 #penacony #honkai star rail #dr ratio slander #veritas ratio slander
