[yeonjuins]

hey I’ve been feeling kind of uninspired lately and idrk to fix it.. like I have ideas and WANT to do them but when I open ps I cant do it. I even have ideas written down but nothing comes out when I try to follow through and I give up very quickly 😕

do u have this same problem or could this just be a personal thing ? I did just recently finish a big project that I’m really proud of 🫶🏾 so I could probably just be burned out? But that was weeks ago lmao

june anon - also I saw u answer my rec list so I’ll read that rn

(lengthy response! 1/2)

honestly i 100% get what you mean PAHAHA i feel like i'm constantly surrounded by inspiration and new ideas and it gets me pumped and motivated to begin creating but the moment i sit down and actually try to start, i have no idea what i'm doing whatsoever... then it spirals down a whole rabbit hole of 'my taste in xyz is significantly larger than my actual skill level'

likewise, i went into my summer so mentally prepped and ready to begin designing for yeonjuins a lot more and making silly little kpop edits or even venture off into bigger projects to challenge myself but alas, i felt so burnt out without even beginning. prior, i had finished a major design project in one of my classes (to which i ended up getting a 98% in so it was worth <3) which pretty much pushed my creative abilities all around. i sort of had the mindset that i'd go into summer being able to expand off of it but i didn't even begin to create things until what.... two months into my summer? and school being right around the corner now too? PAHAHHA

a lot of creatives will say this as well but you have to make a lot of shitty things in order to make good things. even if you are feeling uninspired and don't know what to make but you know you want to make things, make it. it'll probably end up shitty, you'll probably hate it and think you wasted your time, but literally, in order to make good shit, you need to make actual shit first LOL

there's a lot of, what i recently learnt was called, 'invisible work' that goes into making things. even with my he he ha ha graphics with yeonjuins that are just based around my silly little kpop boys, i do research, make sure all my references are correct, making sure i pull from the right sources, etc etc. it seems overwhelming at first, but if you just get down to the mindset that you need to just make something, whether it be good or absolutely awful, it's a lot less daunting.

one of my favourite favourite quotes is from this book called 'tiny beautiful things' by cheryl strayed. i cried my heart out to this book, and specifically, this part made me get down on my floor and sob.

“do you know what it is to be humble? [...] i’d finally been able to begin [to write again] because i’d let go of all the grandiose ideas i’d once had about myself and my writing-

so talented! so young!

i’d stopped being grandiose.

i’d lowered myself to the notion that the absolute only thing that mattered was getting that extra beating heart out of my chest. which meant I had to write my book.

my very possibly mediocre book. my very possibly never-going-to-be-published book. my absolutely nowhere-in-league-with-the-writers-i’d-admired-so-much-that-i-practically-memorized-their-sentences book. it was only then, when i humbly surrendered, that i was able to do the work i need to do.”  (page 57)

tldr: just make shit. there are so many scrapped versions of my gfxs people don't see and so many scrapped ideas that don't even see the light of day on this site. but i think that's also the beauty of being a creator ! you build resilience. you make shitty things to only then make good things. just be patient with yourself my love, ideas will flow when it all fits together but you need to allow for your ideas to flow first (":

#asks #june anon #i kinda went the fuck off AHSIODKLAWDIJOAWKLMA #SORRY I JUST #LIKE #U ASKED ME SOMETHING I EXPERIENCE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OFTEN SO I WAS ILKE #YEAH /. YEAH I DEFINATELY HAVE ADVICE FOR THIS . #i hope this helped in any way possible #even if u just took one thing out of it #u got this anonnie i believe in u <- says the one procrastinating to start another gfx #also i would love to see whatever u make one day my love hehe (:<

Is there a 300 page essay about Murderbot's armor (specifically the opaque helmet) as a not-so-subtle metaphor for masking in a clearly neurodivergent character already? Because I need it.

The way Murderbot is unvoluntarily without its opaque armor in All System Red in front of the crew (i.e. unmasking) and appears surprised at its own strong facial expressions and other people's reaction to it? The vulnerability that comes with that and how Murderbot spends pretty much the rest of the book wearing or actively missing its armor which keeps it safe from the mortifying ordeal of being known (yet sometimes other characters suggest it might help for it to not opacify the helmet in order for others to see it as a person and to trust it (and in the end idk if it would have achieved the rewards of being loved by its humans and have had its needs met if it hadn't unmasked in this relatively safe environment sometimes)).

Also there's the whole avoiding-looking-directly-at-people-and-using-drones-instead thing which Murderbot usually hides using the opaque helmet, but whenever it doesn't have that people notice it and many react negatively/confused. I think that's a whole neurodivergent-applicable situation in and of itself? Like damn

And then Mensah encourages Murderbot not to wear armor on Preservation station since it would not need it there, Murderbot is hesitant but ends up not wearing any (like 4 books later when we finally get to that bridge) (going for the comfortable clothes it chose for itself instead, with very strong feelings about the whole being able to make choices thing that I cannot go into further at this point because I would absolutely end up BITING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE).

And I'm not going to advocate for unmasking all the time in any setting because hell no, sometimes it absolutely sucks and people are irritated by Murderbot's now visible quirks and are afraid of what they don't know, but many GET TO KNOW Murderbot better and because there are other people that make sure Murderbot is safe and respected and are willing to get people fired for it if they disrespect it (Pin-Lee my beloved) Murderbot can experiment with this situation without being exiled to some abonded part of a planet and other people are forced to spend enough time around ot to learn to respect it and even like it. I just....... It must be so scary and Murderbot is handling so much at once and in this essay I will

PS sorry this is a disorganized mess but so am I and I have so many Thoughts and even more Emotions and so little patience.

#murderbot #the murderbot diaries #all systems red #murderbot diaries #𓄿 #i sincerely hope this post isn't insensitive because i feel like the autism vibes are strong with murderbot and i am not diagnosed with tha #but i have adhd and a fun mix of anxiety and depression #and i've been deepdiving into autism research to help get one of my closest friends diagnosed (not possible at the moment) #and i relate so strongly in many ways and i dont know if its just that adhd and autism can overlap heavily #or my personal cocktail of adhd anxiety depression etc #or if i am on the spectrum somewhere myself #in any case i feel very strong solidarity and i hope i am not overstepping #but the main point here is the masking and that is DEFINITELY something ive been struggling with a lot recently #hence the strong emotions lol #i dont like to unmask. it sucks. but it can be so worth it. #and i am practicing and learning and trying my best #i feel like this fun sideblog for my scifi hyperfixations is quickly turning into a mess of therapy ramblings for myself #maybe thats because i love these books particularly BECAUSE i relate so strongly to these characters #in ways that are not NormalTM. and surprising for me #and ways that really help me figure out who i am and why dealing sith other people is so difficult for me #welp nevermind #all hail murderbot i guess

I’m going to be thinking about this

One panel of comic for the next 8 years of my life

#Batman #Two-Face #batman gotham adventures #TwoBats #kind of???? Batman/Bruce loves him so much I can’t get over the innate tragedy and love of this relationship like you know what??? #you know what’s ungodly good and fucked up???? that tragedy permeates every inch of Bruce and Harvey’s relationship more deeply than any #other element possibly could but one and the one thread thicker in the relationship’s entire being is love #it’s a tragedy it’s tragic but it is never /quite/ as fucked up and tragic and it is deeply deeply kind and sweet and full of love and the #kind of hope that only exists at all because of it. the way Bruce in BtAS immediately starts reading books on the disorder before he even #sees him again? the letting himself almsot get shot to get through? Telltale finishing his bloody fight in the ruined front hall of his own #home by telling him ‘I still believe in Harvey Dent’. ?? The way movie The Long Halloween Bats doesn’t even know Harvey /super/ well by most #human standards but Bruce has literally no friends and never had except Alfred and Gordon so to him this is one of his closest friends and #that’s not a joke it’s real? when he spends the entire last third of part 2 desperately trying to help and telling everyone Harvey’s his #friend and needs help?? it’s real. when he tells Gilda ‘he was my friend and I failed him’? when he compromises his code in a massive way #for the first time and let’s someone get away with murders so Harvey can retain the one little piece of anything he still has which is #having protected the perosn he loves? it’s real. he means it. that’s his best friend. #they’re so *makes incomprehensible upset hand gestures*

#just a little diary dump: #i've contacted my school therapist again. asked for help regarding anxiety abt schoolwork since i dont get any other treatment #she said she can help me go thru if there are other options since neither psychiatric nor healthcare center will help me #+ she said that she and i can talk abt my anxiety regarding school etc. so in two weeks i'll see her #school starts next week. 4days a week rip... lol thats much for me. a bum. a cellar dweller. i've decided that im gnna go to all my classes #and always work while im there since its harder for me to do it at home. and i will also talk more w my teacher nd ask them for help #then im looking into an online therapy service. it miiight be possible for me to do that. but then i have to contact them and focus on only #1 or 2 issues. in my experience it just doesnt work to go to them and be like everythings bad :(( they wont help u then. i have to narrow it #down for them. nd i'll think i will talk 2 them abt my extreme feelings of loneliness and also my procrastination behavior #but yeah i have no idea if it's possibly bc idk if i can get financial aid for that service. im still in contact w the healthcare center so #i hope she will come to some sort of conclusion nd not just leave my high nd dry (she sent another referral to the persobality disorder - #clinic. even if they rejected the first one. so i'll see) #hmmm yeah. the situation w my sisters is sooooo rough. i hate it. they make me feel so so bad #and the housing situation is roughhhh. it's impossible to get an apartment lol. #so i need to find a way to shut it off and try to not let it bother me #just focus on finishing upper secondary school. nd i've been thinking abt taking out a loan for it and take german/french/spanish classes #instead of doing what im doing now when im actually poor and stressed bc they can choose to cut me off anytime #im meeting my highschool friend on tuesday. she asked if i wanted to hang out for a bit c: #im a bit anxious but like yeah.. it's nice to get out and talk to someone besides my family. which is just my mom lol #i messaged my other old highschool classmate on insta and said i saw her in my neighborhood #she replied but i had lowkeyyy hoped for more... like maybe being able to befriend her T-T but she didnt seem so interested in talking to me #which is ok ofc. it just made me a bit sad bc idk how to make friends and i thought she was rlly nice. but oh well #im rlly sad atm. maybe heartbreak prob. even more sad bc it was my stupid fault but yeah #im still grateful for all that it gave me. nd how i got to experience feelings of warmth nd love nd appreciation i didnt know i could feel #so even if im just contantly heavily sad bc i keep being like oh. i wanna ask this. say that. wonder what theyre up to. etc etc. i just have #to... be sad and just keep going forward #hope and try to not fuck everything else up. even if it feels like... what do all the other things matter when what i rlly rlly wanted got #ruined..... thats life tho. i know. im just so bad at handling life :(( #i feel so broken and confused and i hate that i didnt get to be normal and healthy #im so illequipped at dealing w myself nd my emotions nd there seems to be no professional help for me

got cut off my health insurance with no warning but i dont have the energy to ask for help anymore. im just gonna deal and try to draw faster and better so i can afford to get back on it/pay premiums

#.txt #too many people need help most of my friends are also suffering #people are dying people are starving and everyone who has the power to stop it doesnt care or enjoys killing people #theres zero fucking hope in this damn earth and im just alive to pathetically attempt to care for my loved ones #and anyone else i can possibly help in any way #its so over lol its so BEYOND fucking over #just look at the last thing i reblogged #can you look me in the eye and tell me with a straight face that things wont just keep spiraling into hell #can you look me in the eye and tell me you truly believe that 'voting' does anything or that there will be a 'revolution' #its NOT happening and you know it. convince me otherwise i dare you. you wont. #everyone is either too tired or too selfish and cowardly #and its too fucking late. the cruelty and pain and injustice has torn a mortal wound in the earth itself #its OVER. and everyone with a heart is slowly bleeding out.

been looking in tags for a few days now to see if anyone else found the whole high cloud quintet and related story to be a bit.....poorly written, nonsensical, contradictory, full of plot holes and loose ends, etc. apparently i'm not the only one. (and i'm not even talking about shipping stuff, because any time I saw someone mad about bad writing, someone always replies to be homophobic and laugh about failed ships. weirdos.) it could have been so good but was thrown into the garbage for the most part (IF you noticed all the plot holes and contradiction. if not, then it's a fine enough story tbh. I expect most people to see it on surface level and not read all the little hidden lore bits and try to piece it together like my autistic brain did. which is ok! enjoy it if you liked it and ignore me 😆)

#apparently one of the writers did it on purpose. wont explain here. you can find it elsewhere. but it makes sense now #that's why it fell apart and didnt make sense in the end #ive seem people say anyone mad about it is a shipper and thats why. they use it as an excuse to be homophobes #youre gross get out of thos fandom. im here as someone upset about the story who was very skeptical about any ship theories and focused #more on plot theories and overall friendship and stuff so its not even about shipping you het weirdos!!! #the contradictions and plot holes are bd regrdless of who you ship lmao stop reducing it to that #aure its fine if you ignlre those plot holes. but it happened to be the little plot holes that interested me the most so its obvious to me😅 #cant wait until a talented writer in the fandom rewrites the whole story a lot better and fills in the holes and ties up the end better #please someone do this 😭 #lee text #hsr #i just wanted a close found family who met a tragic end #my idea for a better way to write it is dan feng wanted free from the high elder cycle and yingxing helped him create a new elder #but it went wrong and failed because the preceptors fed him wrong info hopong it woukd destroy dan feng since they hated him #instead it was yingxing that died and dan feng selfishly brought him back somehow and thats why hes immortal and hates dan heng now #they created a monster in the process that made a mess and baiheng died trying to kill it maybe but hit its weak spot #so it was weaked enough for jingliu to slay it #maybe for a plot twist jing yuan somehow knew the preceptors were up to something and didnt stop the two because #they were too stubborn and he knew it would do nothing #we know the dragon heart disappeared so either it ended becoming bailu in the end #or it could be inaide blade bow. another fun possible plot twist. they never explained where it went so it coukd be a n y w h e r e #i had other ideas but i forget now. bht baiheng deserves better as well. just being a plot mechanism to make two dudes be stupid #is kinda bland and boring and wasted her character. she deserves better too!!!! #id write this if i had the time and brain power but ill hope someone else does it instead #OH yeah i forgot a big idea. dan feng and yingxing perhaps try to also kill the arbor and end the abundance and long life/reincarnation #and maybe that was one part that led to it all going wrong or something. since yingxing wanted revenge on the abundance for destroying #his home and family???? and dan feng wanted to escape the cycle? similar wants that worked together snd failed #these are all ideas from past theories i read and my own ideas i came up with all of which are better than what that bad writer did! #these are very incomplete ideas that im sure someone else can write better #lee rambles

Having my cringe era NOW because Arin Gamegrumps is SO girl to me and I’m not afraid to say it

#to clarify this is cringe because you should never tell someone to come out. or speculate on their identity really #but I’m like. just come out already you deserve it #I’m not pushin any label in particular or nothin I just have my own trans radar and I swear to god it’s off the charts for arin gamegrumps #and by trans I don’t mean inherently binary or nonbinary I just mean That Persons Gender is Queer in Some Way I can Feel it #and by ‘it’ I mean I get this sort of second-hand longing from them that seems to be tied to gender in a notably queer way #anyway. I’m probably totally wrong. but. I HAD to say it #blithering on  #arin hanson #game grumps #okay so to go even further in my cringe unnecessary and invasive speculation: #I just can’t help but get the feeling that arin feels a special sort of connection to femininity and girlhood #but- based on my years and years and years of watching his content- I get the impression that he feels ‘too far gone’ if u know what I mean? #very much ‘I want to be a girl so bad but I could never pass’ type shit #and I just hope he knows- even if he really is a cis dude and I’m just trans and overstepping- that he’s girl as hell to me #in the most complimentary and respectful way possible #like even if he’s a dude he’s girl as hell to me and I think it’s cool as hell. and if he’s not a cis dude then well!!!! also very cool!!! #like. he’s. sigh #I just hope he knows he’s pretty and lovely and cool and gender is fake and he can do w/e he wants and people will be there to support him #anyway sorry I’ve rambled on enough #my trip to visit Gay City (Portland) is DOING things to me

If anyone sees a bootleg/torrent (?) or anything of Weird: The Al Yankovic story around after it comes out on Friday please let me know. I'm in the UK with only my laptop, so I have no way of watching it (without a TV the only option is the web player, which isn't a thing in the UK).

#if I was in the US I would watch it on the web player for free #so I'm not depriving anyone of money #I was really looking forward to watching it and seeing the reactions of the Weird Al fans ob here #oh well I might just rewatch UHF instead #but any help would be very appreciated #I guess people didn't really think Weird Al has fans outside the US #but I hope they make it available in some other way?? doubt it though #I'm happy that it's getting such good reviews #but I have been looking forward to it for months and for once in my life succumbing to hype #I don't even know if it's possible to pirate stuff from streaming services #oh well hardly the worst thing in the world I know #Weird Al Yankovic #Weird: the Al Yankovic story #roku #roku channel

hi sameera! you make the most beautiful gifs with such unique coloring, and i was wondering if you could give some tips on how you color them?

hey, and thank you so much ❤️ i have talked a bit about my giffing/coloring process and shared some tips/tricks in the past (you can find those under my resources and ps help tags!). and there are some amazing tutorials out there if you're new to giffing or need some guidance - meg (@redbelles) posted one recently that is really detailed and similar to my own process; you can find it here.

when i'm making/coloring a gif, i generally focus on 4 things: high quality footage, sharpening, coloring that enhances a gif's natural colors/tones, and practice/patience. i'm going to go into slightly more detail on each of these:

high quality footage - 2160p/4k whenever possible, 1080p if 4k isn't available. this isn't extremely important/necessary, but personally i love giffing 4k and find it emphasizes the details of a gif and its coloring and keeps it crisper.

sharpening - i've been experimenting with my sharpening settings, and i've only recently settled on something newer that's more to my liking - i've linked it here, and you can find my older settings in the aforementioned resources/ps help tags on my blog. just like hq footage, sharpening makes a big difference as well - so long as your gif isn't too sharp or too blurry.

the coloring itself - i really love vibrant gifs, and my coloring process has changed a lot recently. right now, i focus on using settings like curves, channel mixer, levels, vibrance/saturation, and selective color to edit the hues/tones of a gif (particularly when working with skin tones) and make the colors pop without oversaturating. i've been giffing for so long to the point where i can use settings like channel mixer intuitively, but it took a lot of practice; kate (@zoyanazyalensky) has posted a really great tutorial on how to use the channel mixer adjustment layer here if you need it! using layers like that really makes a difference and saves a lot of time with color correcting, and it just makes the gif look better overall.

it's also important to try to color each individual gif from scratch instead of relying on a psd and copying and pasting the same setting values on each gif; you can use the same settings/adjustment layers, but make sure to tweak it accordingly for each scene you're coloring.

practice/patience - gifmaking and coloring is subjective depending on the creator, so experimentation is always beneficial and practice really makes a difference! my own coloring process has changed/improved signficantly just in the past few months, let alone in the past 7-ish years that i've been giffing, and i'm always learning something new whenever i open photoshop or scroll through others' creations on tumblr (ntm that as technology/software evolves, gifs and coloring will naturally evolve with it). so make sure that you're not too hard on yourself, and don't be afraid to try different methods - go for the style that you enjoy most or that looks best to you, because that's ultimately what's most important!

#this got long but i tried to be as detailed as possible! #i really hope it helps <3 but of course if you have any more questions you can always send another ask my way! #have a great day/night!!! #💌 answered 💌 #ps help

man. i am SO embarrassed by my own existence. ashamed of every aspect of myself. everything i have ever done has been shameful in one way or another and i wish i could erase it

#and yet the need for attention persists so here i am. posting and embarrassing myself even further #i ate and i took a shower and i still feel this awful and i don't have clonazepam on hand so there's nothing left i can do to help myself. #i don't even wanna sh. I'm not in the mood for pain. which might be an even worse sign lol #i mostly want to bash my face in a wall but like trying to kms. i don't wanna face the long term consequences of that #i know it's nothing new but i really have no hope at all. even if a better life is possible it's still not good enough to be worth it #at this point the only way to help me is permanently altering my brain somehow but well. i don't think that's an option in the 21st century #i want to die. i want to have never existed at all. i want to be unconscious forever. i dunno. i just hate this so much. #vent #if anyone has any distraction ideas or help i can do from bed I'd love that. bc i do need to feel well enough to sleep soon :/

May this year bring us an abundance of fulfillment, achieved desires and comfort. 🖤

#dadbots.txt #officially in 2024… hard to believe that tbh. But it’s here. And hope for better things to come our way. #I plan on committing myself to some planned goals and ideas to work on. Including devoting myself into my craft again - #- and explore other fields as it is a big part of my life. With so much happening and being overwhelmed caused the focus to shift. #And I truly want to put my attention onto things that helped me. Made me happy. That’s important to me overall. #This year will be aimed towards completions. Anything that’s been held off and sitting in a backlog. That I should’ve and wished to do. #Things I need to do. Whatever — I want to complete them and knock ‘em off my list. There’s so much to go through and it’s tiring - #- when you see piles that you swept under the rug. But that’s why I’m working on completing them and have a clean slate to work on again. #Won’t break chronic procrastination. But it’ll get me doing something. Little by little. #And will reduce the blow for my fatigue. In general for anything really. And this definitely isn’t some ‘new year new me’ mantra that ends #- in a couple of days. A whole year dedicated to what’s important is good enough for me. Of course you can start whenever and at any time. #But I consider this a journey. Means I have to show something for the month. And with so many changes made in 2023 — it’s possible. :) #I hope y’all have a wonderful year and have blessings flowing our way. 🤞🏽🖤

Okay aluminium hat on, it's hypothyzing time:

So on the newest picture you can see Julians (my buam *sigh*) arm tattoos better and there is this big A

Which brought me back to this big ass omega sign on bmth skirt guy's arm.

Now we can't know if there's a connection between them but they are on opposite arms and have the same style (though Julian's tattoos are all in that blackline style), also alpha and omega are the first and the last letter of the greek alphabet, maybe Julian was born first? And they wanted matching tattoos?

There was also this christian stuff I found while searching and them having grown up in Bavaria it's entirely possible they're christian so idk, maybe the connection is there and not with each other. But I want to believe they love each other so much they wanted twin tattoos.

Now onto your opinion🎤

Should have sent that one with the last ask. (They also both have snake tattoos. And I still need to know what is written on bmth skirt guys throat)

---

Thank you for the mic 🎤, the aluminium hats are on 🤡👽🤖

Ah, you're embracing the Bua name, maybe you'll come around to liking Bavaria after all eventually, if only for the concerts and your Buam 😌 also love "bmth skirt guy", you're right, bmth should put a swooshy skirt in their merch, I'd buy it. Or your buam; I have enough shirts I don't wear but I could use a longer skirt. They could put the dancing skeleton on there at the bottom. pspsp Laura's Buam, who's responsible for merch, I have suggestions.

Your Bua has some very nice tattoos there 👀 is that a lightswitch though? Because, not to project here, but that reminds me so much of that artwork about ADHD that goes "utterly obsessed - uninterested" or something like that. The gameboy 🥰 Zelda Minish Cap my dear.

I like your idea with the matching tattoos as the first and last letter of the greek alphabet! Now I don't know a lot about them, or anything, really, but they did seem like they're pretty close, what with their bickering on stage, and a lot of siblings get matching tattoos. And I like that idea better than something about the bible or whatever that was. I don't know about you, especially because I don't know how catholics and protestants are split up in Germany, and I'm from one of the more conservative/traditional areas of Austria, so I know quite a few people my age who were altar boys/girls, and I don't think even any of them would get a religion-themed tattoo. I'm sure there are people our age who would get a tattoo like that, but probably not that many. Then again I can't speak for Bavaria, but I still like the matching twin tattoos idea better.

"But I want to believe they love each other so much they wanted twin tattoos." I see. It's not just your buam making me cry anymore, you've joined them!

So our questions for after the next concert: A breakdown of all their tattoos but especially the letters and the writing on BMTH shirt's neck, and if and where he found vegan cheese that melts and tastes good. And if they have pets and if yes, can we please see them, it's part of the targeted marketing, and what about a long colourful swooshy skirt as merch 🐱🐶🦝

#don't mind me mentioning adhd and then straying from the subject #hehehe first appointment for possible adhd treatment/therapy tomorrow! help! #fun fact my twin sister and our friend and me are also getting matching tattoos someday #I just remembered that at my parents' place there is a jesus cross above the kitchen door. i saw it this weekend and thought I should take #picture for you since you didn't get to see any crossed jesuses in Augsburgs and also because I don't understand why it's there #it's my grandmother's I think and yes she regularly went to church but none of us do why is it just hung up there #asks #mondscheinprinzessin #lauras buam #lonely spring #jules is your BUA laura; buam is the plural 😭 please respect the dialect I don't speak and don't massively care about either way #i know his name is julian but iirc he introduced himself as jules in augsburg and i thought that was cute so i'm going with that #huh. do you remember if he introduced the others as manuel and matthias or manu and madze? i hope it was the nicknames too

#so a coworker of mine that ive been having quite a few various issues with the past few months seemingly got fired today #(i cant confirm he was fired but between the phrasing of his departure email and him not putting in a two weeks it seems like he was fired) #and it honestly feels like a massive weight has been lifted off of my chest #(despite knowing we still have a long way to go in terms of inclusivity as a whole organisation but im hopeful to make changes with that) #cos i know that our clients (at least legally) are going to be getting the best help possible between me and our other legal advocate #and im hoping that now that his (honestly) oppressive energy is gone the environment at the office will be much nicer to work in #im just worried about potentially getting overwhelmed or incredibly busy cos ill have to take his existing clients #and any new ones needing help in my specific service areas cos im now the only person serving these areas #but ill handle that if it happens #i just feel like i can breathe and that ill feel a lot more comfortable being myself at work #also our supervisor has been out all week while being on vacation so she is gonna come back on monday to a real big surprise #anyway sorry for the rant #but these prompts are lowkey my diary so kind of not sorry #anyhoo back to our regularly scheduled programming #the prompt gives the feeling of the 'churchyard' (whether the church or the cemetery) pulling people or souls or corpses in to feed on #and for me there is the added theme or element of abuse through the word 'churchyard' reminding me of the song of the same name by aurora #there is just a lot to play around with here #definitely more than there appears to be on the surface #aurora #aurora aksnes #aurora music #infections of a different kind #thanks for reading #writing #writer #creative writing #writing prompt #writeblr #trying to be a writeblr at least
