2023 year in review:

#got into a major car wreck had a family member die had my best friend disown me bc she joined a cult grandpa nearly died #got bad case of COVID likely permanently lost 60% of my hearing in one ear stepped on a 2in rusty nail and got an infection #on the other hand: #saw the best performance of Hamlet of my life read so many new books made out with some hot girls trip to France took train thru rocky mtns #saw les mis tour sewed 15 full sized quilts presented at a conference did good job at work stayed alive #quite the year…whew! #…maybe I should type out all the good things more often

What do you mean the villain who I knew was going to have to die at some point but I still got attached anyway was killed off brutally as punishment for his crimes???

#flump! #bsd spoilers #bungou stray dogs #bsd #bsd fyodor #this is mostly about bsd but I’m gonna add another character here so stop reading the tags if you’ve never played yttd #yttd midori #your turn to die #yttd #yttd spoilers #me on one hand: #there’s no way he’s dead haha I mean it would be too easy to get rid of him like that haha #on the other hand: #lmao get shredded bitch #Midori and fyodor when they actually have to face the consequences of their actions 😦😦😦 #sorry if I spoiled anyone I tried my best at tagging but I need to get this thought out there

accidentally got to hear a boomer birder’s politics wrt Urban Housing Policy and now i understand why YIMBY twitter is Like That

#on the one hand: #is yimby twitter weirdly tone-deaf and kinda bad at understanding & making arguments that could appeal to a broader base? #sure. #on the other hand: #wow what a cavalcade of People Just Not Thinking Through Stuff At All Because At The End Of The Day They Want Literally No Change Ever

[zeawesomebirdie]

Not me realising that due to my fatigue I'm probably going to have to pay for private classes, at least to start with, since there's no way in hell I'll be capable of keeping up with a regular class,,,

#on the other hand: #if i do private classes im much more likely to be able to succeed #like ill be able to take breaks and stuff #which i def wouldnt be able to do in a regular class #and id be able to start v v small and only 'learn' a few things at a time #i mean #im still waiting for a call back from that company i called yesterday afternoon #but theyre about to go into their summer term so like #im not surprised #i dont even know if they offer private classes for adults #i just #i really dont think ill physically be capable of a regular class #(and ofc not me realising ill have to wait until the end of july before i can start just due to like. healing from top surgery lol) #but omg this research spiral has been great!! #never thought id see the day id miss doing ballet but here we are!! #and man am i having the time of my life!!!

"Glad you think so. I always wanted a sidekick."

"Can't open doors without your 'sidekick', huh?"

NO. Okay. I am stopping you there. I am warning you, Seyka, there is a line and you're stepping on it right now. There cannot be another Aloy's sidekick. Original character DO NOT STEAL

#on the one hand: vindication that this is how aloy would banter with a potential sidekick #on the other hand: #hmmmm *squints* #this town isn't big enough for TWO of aloy's sidekicks 3:< #oc: artekai #oc tag #ramble #burning shores #burning shores spoilers #bs #bs spoilers #hfwbs spoilers #hfw spoilers #hfw

Listen. I know I’ve said this before but

Broke: Sick/injured character being bullied into accepting care from their friends against their own inclinations

Woke: Sick/injured character accepting care and/or taking care of themselves because they know that otherwise they don’t have the right to expect the same accountability from their friends when they’re sick/injured (and this goes both ways)

#*cones meme* it's about the danger of infantilization #you can and should make a five-year-old stay home/take medicine/go to the doctor even over their vocal protests #it gets dicier when the patient is a grown man #on the other hand: #a character reminding themselves 'i don't want to take care of myself but Friend feels the same way and still lets me worry about them' #'so i should give them the same respect when they're worried about me and at least CONSIDER whether they're right' #THAT i like #(this isn't about anything in particular it's just what happens when i go on a fic-reading binge in fandoms about Adult Found Families) #(it's a peril of the genre. but i haven't run across anything egregious lately)

i currently have both hair bleach and curly girl method-approved shampoo & conditioner in the bathroom closet engaged in an epic cage match whenever i’m not looking to see which will end up on my hair first

#on one hand: #the absolute panic at the idea of damaging my hair and possibly having to cut some of it out if i don't like it or people make fun of me #even if i only plan to dip-dye the ends anyway #on the other hand: #the colossal pain in the ass that is shampooing the waist-length monstrosity nesting on top of my skull #on the first hand again: #my parents Will see it and there is nothing that makes me roll up like an armadillo more than my parents noticing my genuine self-expression #on the second hand yet again: i don't really want to have curly hair it was fine when i was a kid but now i like it long and wavy #and i don't really want long curly hair or to cut it short #but also it doesn't look Good rn #sigh #will this blogger be once again paralyzed by its overwhelming fear of change? #tune in next time to know #(for two years i've posted about wanting to do something drastic to my hair every once in a while) #(nothing changed since then) #(i got a light trim and started washing water-only that's all) #broadcasting my misery

i think normally it’d be insufferable to see a guy who gets up real close in people’s personal space and basically says “no thats not what ur feeling, ur lying” and of course he’s Right because of a debunked bullshit pseudoscience... but 1. i have exquisite willing suspension of disbelief and 2. i am so willing bcuz

#im talking about lie to me #body language science has something to it but for the most part it sucks and doesn't account for how complex and variable humans are #what is a Tell for somebody won't be for somebody else #and thats before you take neurodivergency into account! #so many things that are considered signs of lying or untrustworthiness are just a regular part of having an autistic face so That Sucks #and facial readings and body language readings have caused like actual harm in shitty crime solving #ON THE OTHER HAND: #it's a tv show. and tim roth is an utter gem and a fucking babe so theres that #to be clear: i havent even watched lie to me. but im aware of it. i know what cal does #and i know damn well about the ''science'' that show was based on. ya hear about such things in neuro activism circles #but i imagine in the universe of lie to me that it's like legit #like how magic exists in some fictional universe. just think of it like that #like i imagine cop shows exist in universes were the police force isn't Inherently corrupt. and it's like a respectable job #it's the only way shows like that Make Sense when ya know better #annnyways... cal lightman... fuckable <3

#hee hee #it was cute #(disclaimer i do not subscribe to d+ so my dollar was not going there iykyk) #pjo #percy jackson #grover underwood #annabeth chase #my art #fanart #hoo #i had to take silly pics of myself 2 get percys arm hand thing right #and then just cropped it bc yea #i almost gave annabeth the hair i did in the last one but i thought #why do i feel compelled to change her hair to fit the old image i had from the books and not the others #and i drew her actual hair from the show #and it looks sm better

we'll do fine.

#fionna and cake spoilers #what hits me a little is how similar fionna and simon's stories are in the case of finding nuance in their lives #when both have gone through their separate but still valid pain no matter the extent it had been #and its that they met each other they get to see how it compares and they're no less worth of the peace and fun they dreamed of #even in the form of simplicity and just being normal #“i wouldn't have met THE fionna and cake” “we wouldn't have met THE simon petrikov” #it hits me harder that after the dandelion scene would've been their last time seeing each other physically #and how assuring simon sounded when fionna didn't know what to do with the literal world in her hands #tho im sure prismo isnt that much of a rule jerk lol i still drew out the revelation anyway with this tiniest addition #also the fact fionna's world is influenced by simon's thought processes and conditions so now things are a little better for both of them #fionna the human #fionna campbell #simon petrikov #qiiarts #the lil flashback of #betty grof #fionna and cake #adventure time
