Its so amazing the little moments that impact your life. My high school did Poetry Out Loud when I was a junior - a very painfully shy, weird, quiet student who read books and didn't really have friends. I was always good at memorization and, as a student who thrived on perfection, I searched for hours on the website for the perfect poem.

In the end, I chose one that now isn't one I've kept up with but sometimes bits of the dialogue come to me even though its been over a decade since then. I won my class's competition but refused to go in front of the school (due to aforementioned shyness). So it didn't help my public speaking skills but it did give me a life long love of poetry. I've now memorized dozens of poems. I have stacks of poetry books on my shelf. I have poems hanging on my walls and tattooed on my skin.

Just, idk, there's something so special about how certain things come your way out of the blue and turn into something that becomes a part of you. Ordinary events stitching together parts of your soul.

#the poem I read was Solitude by Ella Wilcox which probably set off alarm bells to my teachers lol #but I remember spending h o u r s on the poetry foundation website looking for poems and just reading more and more #a random assignment that turned into a passion I keep up into my 30s #the next year we did a Poe unit and I ended up memorizing the Raven #Im feeling sentimental #I'm looking for artists to get the Raven tattooed as a token of appreciation for a poem I have loved before I even knew myself

It's amazing how well cat food and trick or treaters has been for training Nadja to be normal about ppl coming up to the front door.... we've had an uptick in house guests in the week since and she is calming down so fast!!!??? And I'm like??? That's all it took!!?? TRICK OR TREATERS AND CAT FOOD!!??

Like I still have to muscle her away from the door (barking) to get her attention but then she sits when I ask and once she gets her treaty treats she's like "oh yes hello human friend may I have some pets can I sniff your face I love you mom can i have more cat food." All the high energy excitement of a person at the door disappears in a blink. All those problem behaviors go with it.

And I'm just once again stuck by the fact that I think I accidentally got a difficult puppy as a first puppy. Bc now that she's older and able to actually focus she can like?? Do things?? Be trained?? Be bribed into good behavior?? Tho to be fair I have learned A LOT with her in the last 2 years.

I just love my dog so much and want her to be a good girl and she IS a good girl, she is just a terrier about things. And it is a steep learning curve once you realize that your whole life your whole family trained the dog together instead of just you and your spouse.

Side note: we have a large stockpile of dog treats that were given to us but when those are finally depleted i will be buying a bag of temptations cat treats to see how those work on her.

#i love nadja so fucking much #she has the biggest wettest eyes #and is still so puppyish in so many ways #just suuuuch a baby #wink wonk cackle #im feeling sentimental

Hey friends ✌🏻

So I'm slowly working on requests! I really appreciate everyone's patience. I've been writing daily and my goal is to post 3 times weekly starting in September. Currently I'm posting twice weekly just because this summer has been very busy and I have three demons (including my cat) to keep alive. I adore all the messages, comments, likes and reblogs! I'm closing in on 1700 followers which is honestly just amazing to me 🥺 so thank you to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU for your support 🖤

#im feeling sentimental #probably just hormones #update on posting schedule

i love the one tumblr thing where we essentially make communal web weaves. when someone introduces a topic that means something to them by showing song lyrics or a line from a book or whatever, and other people contribute with things THEY know that have a similar theme. like its silly but i do sometimes love the things that come from this site

This January, the day before I left Italy to come back to Sweden, I digitized an old VHS with some family video of my first years of life.

In 2023 I turned 30 so you can make the math on how old that VHS was. The quality was bad. It has probably always been bad but it could only get worse with time.

While digizing it, I re-watched it and I had some thoughts.

I did not realize how present my extended family had been in my life. Sure, my grandparents have always been there, but I had not realized how much my aunt, and cousins and uncles loved me. For many years I felt them distant and now I feel them close again and watching those videos I realized that they had never left, I was just too busy living my life to notice it.

My parents are old. Watching that video, I was the one that has changed the most, of course. The first video was done hours after I was born. My cousins were kids and now they are women and men. But in those videos my parents are closer to my age than their age now. They are more similar to present me than to themselves.

I thought seeing my grandparents wouldn't affect me so much. But hearing their voices did the trick. It's easy to remember a face. It's less easy to remember a voice. I now struggle to remember what was their smell. All the clothes that belonged to my grandma have now lost their scent. Sometimes, however, it happens that I open a box, not knowing what's inside, and I can smell her again, as if she was there. Why can't we invent something to save the scent of a loved one? Why do we have to lose this part of them?

The total lenght of the video is 16 minutes. Two years of my life in 16 minutes. In my phone I have like... 5-minute videos of friends I am not so attached to unwrapping their birthday present, but I have 16 minutes of my first 2 years of life. Then nothing until my father bought a camera when I was 8 or 9. But somehow those 16 minutes are more dear to me than the 8k photos in my 3yo phone. It's not a critique on modern days and "those kids with their phones", I just think about how things changed in my life and how my kids will have hours and hours of videos documenting every day of their life and I have 16 minutes and how I don't wish for more and maybe they will.

In conclusion, don't wait until the last minute of your Christmas holiday to do this kind of project and for the love of god don't re-watch the videos while you are flying back or you will end up crying on a plane next to a stranger that just wanted to watch the barbie movie in peace (any resemblance to real persons is purely coincidental)

im so fucking tired of the disrespect gifmakers get on the gifmaker website

#kai.txt #negativity tw #(sorry these are gonna be a lot of tags. i have a lot of feelings and i dont know where else to put them) #we make gifs and nobody reblogs them #when they do get reblogged all people want to tell you is that your gifs arent good enough to them and rip it to shreds #'you're missing x' 'why didnt you do y' 'if i made this i would have abc' 'hey op ur wrong and this is why' 'i dont like this op' #reposters dont even reblog your fucking gifset but they'll save your gifs to repost later asking for how to do something #that they could have asked you how to do in the fucking first place #we reblog ourselves constantly because nobody else will and maybe to make our work look like it has more notes than it does #to make ourselves feel better about the lack of interaction we're getting #and then when we TALK about this frustration we have. people who are too afraid to say it to our faces #go on anon in our askboxes and tell us how we're somehow selfish for wanting people to interact with the sets #that we spent time on. hours. days. WEEKS in some cases #or we get anons who tell us the reason we dont have notes are because we arent good at gifmaking in the first place #but this is all on anon. because they're too scared to tell it to our faces #they're too scared for us to see that they ARENT a gifmaker and that they dont know how to do it any better either #they dont see us as people doing something we love as a hobby. they see us as content machines that dance like court jesters #im just so fucking tired of the disrespect #and this sentiment goes for more than just gifmakers. graphicmakers. artists. literally any creative hobby shared on this site #we get treated like shit and for what? literally for fucking what.

Fanfiction Readers

I cannot begin to tell you how much I adore my consistent readers. I never thought my writing to be that good or anything but consistently I have a few readers that pop up every time I write a new chapter.

While I don't think my writing is good, they appreciate it for what it is and it just is.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you should upload that story you've been sitting on. Start that fic that nobody else will write. Be the pioneer of fanfiction or fanart.

Create something beautiful because at least one person needs to see it and its more than yourself. Share your stuff with the world because it deserves to see the light.

I didn't see it until I've had not one, not two, and probably above three hiatuses because of how chaotic life gets but people still came back to read the story. People still came back to see what was written.

People will always want to see what you've got.

Shout out to aro people who DO show little emotion, who do have low empathy, who are monotonous, who do relate to robotic characters on a level other than the fact robot characters often don't feel romantic attraction

#aromantic #aro #aromantic awareness week #i saw a post that was like ''i hope ppl dont think im emotionless becuz of me being aro...i feel lots of feelings'' #and i get the sentiment of not wanting to be treated lesser but i feel like all of those types of posts push the idea that if you do #have low empathy or lack the ability to show or understand your emotions that it WOULD be okay for people to consider you #more robot and less human #i know thats not the intent but (shrug)

fake ep idea + doodles

#i was thinking abt how funny it would be if there was a shiftythrifting blog equivalent in lmk. and half the stuff on there is #submitted by wukong. so i thought a yard sale ep would be funny lol #basically the hoard becomes problem one way or another and wukong figures the best way to get rid of his junk is thru ebay #somehow ends up selling world ending artifacts to random megapolis citizens so mk mei and redson have to scramble to find em #purposely meant to mirror the weekly shenanigans s1-2 style eps that are really goofy (dumpling ep noodles ep etc) #but it gets darker and darker because MK is not fucking ok after that whole thing with the scroll and some unchecked identity crisis #for me id want him to kind of. freak tf out because they have to find MULTIPLE chaos inducing items that could end the world while trying t #be sillygoofy and funny about it. so hes trying to mask his panic with “ohhh guys its just like the good ol days ^_^ remember that ^_^” #ESPECIALLY after that whole thing with the ink scroll. also mei doesnt buy any of it and is worried for him the whole time #as for the B plot it could be monkey king also trying to be very relaxed abt selling 4000 years worth of stuff and tang getting all huffy #like “these are priceless artifacts that could help us learn so much about the past!! wtf man!!!” #and maybe it reveals smth like wukong not wanting to hold on anymore bc his past weighs him down. and theyre all reminders #i think azure mentioned that wukong is sentimental (idk if that was genuine or lying to mk) so that could be touched on to #so basically. the theme would be some sort of conversation abt nostalgia. i think. im not a writer so its very fuzzy in my head #if anyone wants to add on or include their own spin on it feel free. also included undercut redson as a treat somewhere in there #myart #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk red son #lmk mei #lmk MK #lmk xiaotian #lmk xiaojiao #lmk sun wukong #lmk swk #doodles #lmk tang #lmk pigsy #lmk traffic light trio #yard sale ep
