am now VERY curious about your kafstel baseball AU pls share your thoughts
omg i got very excited stood up and got on my laptop just to reply... ok so:
the idea essentially is that kafka, a senior, is a writer for the college's journalism association
the type that's super into drama (shes just a nosy bitch) and can just p much get anything out of anyone.
shes renowned for her ability to ruin social reputations etc, its not that shes entirely disliked, but alot of her writing can come off as "exaggerated" but as kafka says it, "I'm only ever being honest."
she also has beef with himeko, one of the managers for the college's baseball team. they go way back, highschool nemesis !!
kafka also wanted to leave wt a bang so why not shit on ur nemesis amirite
anyway, theres been rumors of paying off other school teams to win because the team cannot be just THAT good (they were average before now they're just winning left and right) i guess but it is just rumors.
stelle, a junior, on the other hand is just THAT good of a batter, shes been the star player ever since she joined and no one knows anything about her
like sports anime, shes that one baseball prodigy.
picked it up a few times as a kid once and never played seriously till she had to join something in her 3rd yr of college for "something to do".
march recruited her! (like "girl its been 3 yrs and u have done nothing other than go home and play video games online can u atleast touch grass" "hey no, i work out" "and u do it ALONE i never get to see u :(")
stelle in general isn't playing to win most of the time but she enjoys seeing everyone happy when they win.
other than that, the baseball team is made up of, the astral express crew oh and pom pom is the mascot
the journalism association is well, the stellaron hunters crew
and that's pretty much everything i have noted down!

Lunar Boy WIP! My old high school had a roofed bleacher (because that Southeast Asian sun/rain amirite) that I wanted to draw for Lunar Boy but couldn't find reference for online. Thankfully my little sister now goes to the same high school and I got to ask her to take some reference pics for me :'D

i like your shoelaces (thanks! i stole them from the president)
Chapter 7 is up!
Summary:
“Yeah, yeah. Call it what you want, amirite?” Charlie shoots him a saucy wink. “Ohhhh you know what, you can take photos of this for the prom!” Dean raises an eyebrow. “Uh, Char?  I regret to inform you that we are adults who haven’t attended high school in years…” “Oh please, you of all people who lives on that godforsaken fucking website and you’re not hip to Tumblr prom, of all things?” Charlie puts her hands on her hips. “Um,” Dean says awkwardly. He literally has no idea what she’s talking about and quickly realizes how suspiciously odd that really does seem. “I haven’t been online much lately,” he offers. Charlie peers at him questioningly. “Yes you have,” she retorts. “You have your little green thingie activated. I can seeeeee you!” she drops her pitch on the last sentence to mirror the spooky, haunting sound of a cartoon ghost. “Erhm. Well, I’ve been online but not really - online online.” Dean stumbles over his words, feeling the blood rushing to his ears. He hopes Charlie doesn’t pry further. Being Charlie, she - of course, does.
Read from the beginning here!

You're all so sweet and it warms me to see the support! I try to not make it a habit to vent too much online, though I do show some of it. But it always makes my day so much lighter and warmer to see the support from you.
I'm calmer than I was earlier. Decided to spend some time with dad, though sadly the game decided that Nah, have an eRROR that ain't gonna let itself be fixed. And I'm tired and can't be bothered fixing that today- Tomorrow maybe.
As always I'll keep whatever pace I feel comfortable with, and rest if I feel the need to. So don't worry there! But if anything, I really want to get going with... Well. Something. Something lighter.
So we'll see where my impulsive ideas take me. Another blog to my collection? More likely to happen than you might think. Or some of you might very well expect it by now, I am rather predictable-
But yeah, once again. Thank you! The anxiety has a tendency to build up, boil over and then I have some peace and quiet for some time. Likely also stress because school is-... I don't know by now, I'm annoyed. But school, amirite?
Thanks to these beautiful people for their sweet comments:

u ever just want to vent but u dont wanna bc ppl might just find you a vibe killer so u just sit there with ur head throbbing repressing it. ok sorry i need to vent. I’m gonna look back on this in 5 mins and wince
I’ve just been thinking abt how throughout my life well maybe just growing up. I’d be sitting with my friends and someone comes up and compliments one of them, I never gotten that. Well besides my eyebrows. Never my hairstyle, there’s literally nothing wrong with it..I never understood that. Like outside of high school ppl say things now but back then I never was complimented like that. I know this sounds selfish and stupid but I kinda wish someone flirted with me im not ugly right. I know I’m not ugly. all my friends got and still get flirted with, i never gotten that im not ugly right im. I’m pretty ?? Yeah. I’m a pretty gal I wish someone had a crush on me growing up. I will never know, if someone had feelings for me that wasn’t online. Like a real person, who saw my face. I sound so stupid why am I upset about such trivial things. I have a job, friends, ppl that care about me but this is something that has been fucking with me for years. I don’t wear makeup like them. Unless im doing some gyaru shtick. But even then, they still get flirted with. What do I know. I shouldn’t be complaining about this this is shallow. Maybe that’s why over the years I just stopped caring for love and affection and I’m on the ace spectrum now. I lost my ability to even have a crush bc im petrified of what could come of that. I had a crush once in 9th grade and hell, even I knew then I wasn’t worthy of this. I’m never probably gonna have someone be with me and that’s okay. I don’t wanna deal with the heartache. My heart hurts I wish someone would hug me and tell me somethin. Idk what tbh but something would be nice. I’m not lonely but I suppose the feeling of “haha yeah I remember when [name] had a crush on me lol” is kinda endearing. even if it probably was stupid. That’s probably the only things I’m jealous about towards my friends, pretty fucking dumb tho. I’m slowly getting over it, but oughh it’s wrong im gross for thinking that. I’m not mean to ppl irl idk what’s wrong but I don’t really care..that much anymore ig. I’ve come to terms with it, sorry if I sound selfish. More money for me i guess. I wish platonic cuddling was real at least. I’m not touch starved I think I just wanna have somthint in my life. just a little bit :3 ! But it’s okay………I can just be pathetic behind my normal irl persona and talk to a fucking bot to satisfy this pain. I’m glad I have gyaru tho, at least I feel cute..I don’t need to be wanted I think. It’s fun having a mask on. Ughhh. Ok well um sorry if you read through this hellish and disgusting vent . Yeesh! Im pretty, I’ll keep that in my thoughts so I won’t start crying again. EW OKAY UHHHHH emotional amirite! 😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯

"More evidence than the UK (farce of a) trial, more witnesses, more time, and she still lost. Why is that? Answer that one question without relying on your safety net of, "Oh the judge and jury and defence were all incompetent/crooked/unprofessional! That must be it!"
So the anon believes the UK trial was a farce but demands a reply from you without any criticism to the jury lol okay. Sorry, but I simply will believe an experienced judge with law school and credentials (and not 1 but 3 judges) over several random people picked off of the street. I mean how can someone not take the UK trial seriously? 
- if there truly was a connection between the judge and the Sun or Amber (i dunno ffs, choose finally...either people are saying the judge was Ambers friend or that he had someones cousins relative work for the tabloid or whatever) those would be very strong grounds for Depps team to appeal. What they used instead was that Amber was an unreliable witness and that it was not a "fair trial" according to them - the Sun literally called the UK judge a "dictator" lol...but besties amirite? It is not difficult to find: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2143912/in-this-judicial-dictatorship-it-seems-money-talks-and-free-speech-walks-says-author-mick-hume/
Thank you, next.
lmao like yes exactly. the judge and the sun do not have any love between them (no one fucking likes the sun they’re the media embodiment of pure scum)
and like depp appealed like twice?? if the og judge had done anything sketchy then they’d have noticed?? isn’t that what appeals are for?
like i find it hard to believe that there was one judge, never mind three, willing to go against years of experience and such a high up position, just to help the sun win a case like…???
yet they’ll believe 7 strangers, with no knowledge on law, dv, trauma etc to make a decision when they literally had 7 free weeks of access to the absolute media insanity online. and also had pre-existing opinions (e.g amber is psychotic from that fellas wife)
they say all this shit and can’t provide and real evidence straight up or a motive. like please realise that the judicial system is not balanced AGAINST rich, powerful, likeable, cishet white men. there is no one out there preying on their downfall i promise you

y’all I had the strangest fucking dream experience last night
after waking up ACTUAL SCREAMING from one of my rare-but-consistent serial killer night terrors
I then dreamt that I was traveling somewhere and literally ran into filming of Good Omens season 2 and met DT-as-Crowley and MS-as-Aziraphale at some sort of (children’s daycare / school / hospital???? the chaos of dreams amirite). They were playing it to the point where in the dream it actually felt like meeting Crowley and Aziraphale, right, but I also knew it was acting
anyway as we were leaving I had convinced myself there was no way I could be this lucky and I’d run into like … some kind of promo or a fake w two randos in a cosplay cause there was no way it could be real, only to walk out the back of the building and find the filming crew
and in the dream it felt so fucking surreal and REAL that I was convinced it had been them and was in a really deep quandary whether to post my photos or not online
Obviously when I woke up I realized it was a dream but in the dream I had been absolutely convinced it was real and true.
and that’s how the spirit of GOs2 came to comfort me after a panic attack I guess like what the actual fuck is even in my brain stem

Diary of a Junebug
Tumblr media
Crafting cottagecore themed furniture 
Intelligence means nothing if you lack kindness and compassion. I once read that on some post a long time ago and it stuck with me since. Spending these past few days with Arabella and Teddy and learning a bit more about that infamous summer they spent overseas that was actually terrible but eye opening in retrospect, it got me thinking about that post again.
The campers and I have been busy crafting furniture these past couple days and it’s been fun. Arabella’s putting together courses on making cottagecore furniture pieces so we’re helping her out by following her instructions to make sure they’re clear and easy to follow as well as make sure the designs work out.
In the process, we’re also helping Teddy fill up her new house. She just moved to a bigger place last month that’s not only closer to the school where she teaches, it’s also in the same neighborhood as her brother’s place. Having upgraded from a small apartment in the outskirts, she didn’t realize how much space she had was until she got everything settled and saw it felt kinda empty. Not wanting to break the bank, Teddy sought Arabella for home decor tips and her timing couldn’t have been better.
So here we are, making a bunch of cute (and functional) cottagecore themed stuff that will be put to good use later on. By the time we’re done I think we’ll have made enough furniture fit for an entire apartment complex!
Arabella’s library of online classes has expanded considerably. While furniture making courses are still her main thing, she’s branched out to other ventures like textiles, painting, bookbinding, and cooking. She has also put up free original patterns for knitting and crochet, which I have saved for when I feel up to it.
I’m especially looking forward to knitting her ballerina top once I get the courage to try a raglan pattern. Hard to believe that after all these years since I’ve picked up the hobby, I’ve been coming across terms and techniques I’ve never heard of that are familiar to most. Then again, I never really delved much into knitting clothes, something I was kinda discouraged from because it’s costly in terms of money and investment. I don’t know, but from my experience knitting a sweater’s one of those things where it’s sorta praised and mocked at the same time. Like on one hand it’s like “Wow! That’s so cool! You must have a lot of patience!” but they also say “You must have too much time on your hands. There’s a lot of better things you ought to be doing”, so it leaves you feeling mixed on whether it’s an accomplishment or a subtle dig at you.
Now that I’m older and have been getting back into knitting - as well as picked up crochet - I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole of following a bunch of mainly knitters. So now I’ve been looking into making my own sweaters, something I feel I have more confidence in now that I have more resources to look into as well as feeling more up to the task. I’ve started with simple patterns - a simple crochet wrap top and a knitted tank top - and they’ve turned out good so likely when the weather starts to get colder, that’s probably when I’ll start making a sweater.
Now I’m picturing myself knitting a cozy chunky wool sweater while enjoying the new decor. Basically living out the cottagecore aesthetic, amirite? Yeah, the nightstand will make for a good place to put all my yarn WIPs. I can already picture all my unfinished yarn projects piling up on there.
Along with Arabella and Teddy, tagging along on this fun adventure of furniture making are Teddy’s brother Royal and his nine year old daughter Dove. Royal has dabbled in carpentry so he’s has been helping Arabella out with her designs over the years. I’ve heard a lot about him and Bessie so it’s nice to finally meet him.
Back in the day, Arabella and Teddy were roommates, living in the big city. Arabella was going through what she called a transitory period before she decided to go back to Isabelle and Digby. Teddy and Bessie were teachers - Teddy at a local high school and Bessie a grade school teacher in the countryside. Before moving to the city Teddy used to live in that small countryside town for a time when she and her siblings moved there. She moved to the city at the suggestion of her cousin, someone who Teddy and Bessie had once looked up to, at least until he turned against them during that infamous summer.
Over the years I’ve heard bits and pieces about what happened that summer. At the time Arabella and Bessie were considering grad school while Teddy wanted a change in career path. Teddy and Royal’s cousin suggested that the ladies come join him to spend the summer attending a seminar, mainly to network with others. Long story short, drama happened, and the guy attempted to sabotage Bessie and Teddy’s careers over a bunch of misunderstandings.
It wasn’t all bad though, Arabella and Teddy said. At least the experience opened their eyes to the ugly side of academia, as in the pretentiousness and classism aspect. I remember Richard saying something similar, how he almost became one of those snobs but was luckily hit with a dose of reality and self awareness.
For Teddy, it kinda helped her realize what she wanted and what she didn’t want. Ever since she was young, she was pushed to climb the ladder of success, to never be satisfied with what you have until you reach the top. So naturally, she felt that she had to advance professionally despite being content with where she was. It wasn’t until after having her career nearly ruined when she realized that she shouldn’t be wasting her time doing something she didn’t feel strongly about. She enjoys teaching and she likes working with teens, so what’s the big deal if she doesn’t get promoted or make huge leaps in advancement? What matters to her is helping kids, whether it’s to understand a lesson or help them figure out their future, that’s why Teddy got into teaching.
As for the cousin, he works at the private school Mimi got expelled from, and is an elitist bootlicker. Teddy said he’s a really smart guy and was like sort of a mentor to her and Bessie, not to mention that he was the reason why they became teachers. But he’s also somewhat insecure, so if he feels threatened by something, he’ll lash out in the worst possible way, and that’s why he tried to ruin Teddy and Bessie’s futures. Royal said he used to feel kinda sorry for him as he was the kind of person who didn’t really have much other than his intelligence, but over time he continued burning more bridges, so while does still feel sorry, he also doesn’t want anything to do with him.
From what I’m hearing, the cousin is the kind of person who should not be in charge of anyone’s futures. Arabella said it best that when he started working for that private school he decided that he liked exerting power more than educating people. I’ve also heard a bunch of not so good things about that school in general and it seems like the perfect place for someone who plays favorites and bullies people into submission. Not to mention that he has a track record of fraud, harassment, suicide baiting - and apparently he’s tame compared to other faculty members.
Outside of that, he’s lost the trust of many friends and family members. Part of it’s because of his strong opinions, which have swung dangerously right over the years. Arabella admitted that while she respected him, he often rubbed her the wrong way. Royal can’t forgive him for two things - harassing Bessie and trying to kidnapping Dove.
The kidnapping is one of those stories that gets worse the more you read up on it. A simple google search will give you the gist of it. Again, how is this guy still allowed to teach, much less have a big influence on a kid’s future?
In the short time before and after Dove was born, Royal and Bessie were going through a bunch of hardships. Financial troubles, illness, homelessness, and finally Bessie’s untimely death - Royal said if it wasn’t for Dove, he wouldn’t know what to do with himself. The trouble started when Royal became seriously ill and though he recovered, he was left disabled. Bessie was stretching herself thin caring for him while having her own health to consider. Then the cousin intervened, claiming to have good intentions but looking back no one’s so sure anymore. He did help out though, but had his own ulterior motives as well.
Then Dove was born and for a while things seemed to be slowly settling down. And then all that changed when a destructive tornado hit, destroying the house and seriously injuring Bessie. She was slowly recovering until she learned that they were homeless - who can blame her? - and that’s when the fight in her went out after holding on for so long. Several weeks later she died from complications from her injuries, which ended up being more extensive than previously thought. In Royal’s words, she held on as long as she could - far more than any one person can withstand - and that took a toll on her until she couldn’t hold out anymore.
When Royal was at his most vulnerable, that’s where the cousin took control of the situation. Up until then he had been trying to manage Royal and Bessie, convincing them to pack up and join him in the city, making Royal feel useless in the process so he could solely depend on him. He had offered to care for Dove for a couple weeks while Royal regained his strength, which turned out to be a total lie.
Instead he took off with Dove and refused to bring her home, claiming that she had no future with a single disabled parent. Apparently he was planning to fight for her custody but thankfully he wasn’t able to get there. It’s kinda similar to that case Sophea’s working on, minus the kidnapping. The whole thing made the news for a bit before the school intervened to cover it up, still, the story got out anyway and somehow he’s still there. I wonder if Mimi had to deal with him as a professor during her time there.
Since then, Teddy and Royal haven’t heard from him. Royal, with help from Bessie’s family, eventually got back up on his feet. Almost losing Dove was a wake up call for him as he had been doing nothing but feel sorry for himself since his illness. He and Dove stayed with Bessie’s parents for a time before moving in their own place. By then, Teddy had returned to town after being disillusioned by the big city when the school she worked at closed in favor of being replaced by a parking garage. Now she teaches at the local high school where she and Bessie graduated from.
Thankfully, life has been quiet for Royal and Dove since then. Dove is said to have inherited Bessie’s fighting spirit and vivid imagination. I have read some of Bessie’s poems that she had posted online and she has a way with imagery. From how Arabella, Isabelle, and Digby speak highly of Bessie, I wish I could’ve met her.
As expected, Arabella’s instructions are informative and easy to follow. Just some minor tweaks here and there with design adjustments and clarity, the usual. Arabella is not the type who puts something out until it’s up to her standards so it’s important to make sure things are running smoothly. These furniture pieces are more on the intermediate/advanced level so it takes a bit more work, which I don’t mind. After running this camp for almost five years, I guess you can say I’ve somewhat become a pro at crafting furniture!

cactus daffodil and camelia for the ask game bestie
hiiii 🥰
cactus ⇢ something you’re currently learning (about)?
oh wow, that’s a good question bc i always feel like i’m ingesting a lot of information abt so many things but not in an organized way lmao (being terminally online in 2022 amirite)
i’m gonna say exploitative nature of tourism bc i’m working on an essay on it so i’m reading a lot of articles abt it & learning from locals while i’ve travelled this summer, 19th century customs & bigotry thanks to my parasocial nemesis bram stoker, and surprisingly dutch & german thru translating copies for my job albeit slow-going & not in any way methodical except for exposure lol
daffodil ⇢ do you have siblings? if yes, in what ways do you think you’re similar to or different from them?
nope, i’m an only child and its probably for the best bc i do NOT need eldest daughter syndrome on top of my other mental issues lol altho i do think it’s made me impatient and a bit self-centered
camellia ⇢ what were you like when you were younger? do you think you’ve changed a lot?
ooof, as a child i was very shy and introverted, barely spoke to strangers & had one friend for the first 10 years of my life lol i was also very sickly & got bullied for that in kindergarten & later in middle school for being chubby which is probs why as a teen i was angry, judgy, and a know-it-all to make up for my lack of self-confidence
i still have those characteristics to a degree but gaining self-confidence as an adult made me stop caring what others think & now i’m not scared of pushing myself out of my comfort zone + moving away from home has helped with the anger issues & i’ve been told by friends & family i’m 180 degrees from the person i used to be, & the ones that know me as an adult say they can’t imagine me demure

Doing some introspection lately and wondering why am I still so ashamed of talking to anyone about my time at school.
I've been getting more comfortable touching the subject by joking about it like "haha, bullying amirite?. School sucks I'm so glad those days are over." But nothing else.
Maybe it's residue from the shitty online communities I was in before, but I can't shake the feeling that if I try to be open about it it's going to be met with ridicule or as if it was my fault. Like "yeah, almost everyone has been bullied at some point and we get over it" or "only losers would let kid stuff affect their adult life" "why are you in your 20s and still salty about school shenanigans lol?" "Kids do stupid things all the time, don't think too much about it."
Those are people's formative years. In what world what happens in your formative years is not important? I want to find out what cursed thought process exactly drives so many people to think that wanting to seriously talk about the effect being bullied could've had on one's life is a sign of "immaturity" or any other kind of "moral failing" worth sneering at.
I used to be able to find happiness among other people. I used to be able to show and feel love and they took that away from me. I will be salty about it until I die.

On Affirmative Action
Protests in my Parents' Days: "Peace is rad! Everyone we know is an armchair Marxist! Free tuition for everyone! School should consist of people sitting around smoking pot all day while listening to Harmonium!"
Protests when I was in College: "Fuck peace, we're mad! Free tuition or we'll bust some shit! Half of us are looking to use the protests to break into Media, the other half is just happy deadlines got extended! Both halves disown the Black Bloc openly and think filling your backpack with bricks and cayenne pepper bombs is not copacetic!"
Protests as I see them being approached by some Zoomers: "You're protesting shit? Signing petitions? Like, you've got a reasonably-working political compass? God, that's so fucking cringe, who the fuck advertizes as a Leftist online anymore, amirite? Everything is fake, you're fake, I'm fake - I just wanna sit around and post 'Based' whenever someone makes a Spongebob reference."
As a disclaimer - no, this does not disparage those of you with a working political compass and it doesn't speak disfavourably of those of you who'd rather not get involved because you hate logistics. You're both fine - here's a blanket and some chicken broth. I'm just pissed after seeing some of my second-gen step-cousins of a sort treat the dissolution of Roe v. Wade and the war in Ukraine like they're passé trends that haven't been expurgated from TikTok's algorithm yet.
