#reading list part 1

[mamawasatesttube]

sometimes i think about how many comics i still have yet to read but really do wanna get to and i just .

...and yet part of me still goes hey. what if we reread superboy (1994)

#rimi talks #this isnt even everything i wanna read...... outsiders. that john henry list that arthur gave me. many others #theres also part of me thats like. what if i go open action comics at issue 1 and just fucking go #one of these days i will probably snap and do that. who am i kidding #but god GOD theres so many comics i want to read....... ive barely gotten a drop in the bucket

finished homestuck!! and adding it to my ever growing list of ‘media near-universally labelled as cringe that actually kinda slaps’

#like i won’t lie parts of it? terrible. i can’t even begin to piece together half of the lord english plot #but i think a lot more of it was actually really really good. especially act 4 and act 5 they were my favourite hands down #act 6 not so much. like separately? i loved the alpha kids and the dancestors and the concept of the cherubs was really interesting #but somewhere the execution fell short. it’s gonna annoy me cause i can’t figure out why #i think it might be the retcon. which i didn’t hate as an idea!! but it occurred closer to the end than i thought it would #i feel like if they’d explored the impact of the retcon more it might have flowed better?? idk #idk. act six as a whole i’m split on. i either loved what it did or was massively confused and exasperated by what it did #it’s like half of the comic and i got through it in about a week when it took me like a month to do acts 1-5 #and it doesn’t feel like that much happened it’s weird #but yknow. it is the act that sold me on vriska!! like i liked her before but i really liked her ghosting it up in this act #the bit where ghost vriska and ghost terezi found each other nearly had me in tears #vrisrezi as a whole. what a concept. easily one of the best dynamics in the entire thing #i really hope terezi finds vriska post-canon. however i’m not sure if i want to read the epilogues and homestuck 2 or not yet #ooh ooh also!! john fulfilling his quest slapped!! that’s probably one of my favourite bits in homestuck ngl #and omg. did not see davekat coming i won’t lie but i was v happy about it #k ill stop now bc i will end up listing half the characters and my favourite bits about them. and as fun as that would be #i really need to sleep haha #homestuck

i really wish there was a way to show ryan gosling my "born to ride, forced to beach" art, but he has zero social media (and honestly, good for him, good for him). if i ever somehow meet him in person, i'll be shakily handing him a print

#woof #im also handwriting greta gerwig a thank-you letter #i know the odds of her reading it are not even 1% but hey #she has the um. whats it called. not your address but your mail address #your PO box????? #she has her agents PO boxes listed for fan mail i think? #and i gotta thank her 😭 even if she never reads it. i gotta try #barbie saved my life and is an essential part of healing my c-ptsd #i gotta see if margot has a PO box for fan mail as well

SOME PEOPLES CARRDS ARE THE MOST INSANE THING IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE

#reminds me why i stay in here #dnis have been rendered absolutely meaningless #when you click to someones dni and it just says ‘basic dni’ #thats always my favorite #like 1. do you thing bigots are going to not only read your carrd #but then go ‘oh shit they said racist people dont belong here guess i gotta hit the bricks now huh’ #like #what?????? #what is the intended result of these?????????? #just block people smfh #2. WHAT IS A BASIC DNI AND DO YOU THINK ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE YOU LIST ARE GONNA KNOW CARE OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES PART OF IT

#journal dump bc i have too much on my mind #1) i HATE my neighbors. theres never one quiet moment. they stomp around and slam cabinets all the time it feels like #2) ​i've been reading more recently even if concentration's hard bc of noise. but i also feel like there r too many books i wanna read #but yeah. too little time. so instead i cant settle on a book and kinda dont even read as much as i want to. a stupid problem really #3) it's crazy to say but i wish i had a part time job. sitting at home 24/7 for 5/6 years has been SO terrible for me. #everything feels meaningless. every day is the exact same. im not LIVING. im rotting away and all my issues get worse. im also so fkn bored #and i dont wanna sit at home and do assignments (even if thats what i technically should be doing) #i want a job to go to which takes me away from home + gives me money #then i can come home and sit and rot and ENJOY it. bc now my lazy time is only smth negative and bad for me :/ #ofc i hate the mere thought of having some soul sucking utterly pointless job and our capitalist society is a slave hellhole. but.. as it is #im not even able to enjoy ANY of my time bc all my time feels bad. plus im only getting poorer and poorer so i cant afford to buy anything #4) im so fkn bored and going crazy from eating the exact same food every single day for the third month now. im sick of it #everything tastes so bland and disgusting. it's genuinely making me depressed 😭 i wanna eat REAL food. im so tired bc no nutrition :(( #i cant do anything except wait for my appt w the doctor next week and hope they put me on a waiting list for surgery.. but ong im sick of it #5) i miss my sisters :/ we live in the same apartment but its like i've completely ceased to exist to them #except when they need to be passive aggressive to me. lol. i miss them. but they just dont wanna talk to me :/ #but tbh. most of all... i just want my health issue to be over so my body can function normally again. #i can face anything in life if i can come home to a cup of coffee nd some chocolate ^-^ <333

I think the universe just hates me personally (can't find my scooby doo comics)

#WHERE ARE THEY #i own like 5 individual issues split between SD WAY and SD & batman adventures and i cant find like 4 of them #this is important bc i just got this new app where you track which comics youve read and i need to be accurate bc yay lists and just aaaggh #also sidenote i think ive found my soulmate this one person leaves a review on each and every WAY comic and they EVEN AGREE WITH ME #literally they said they hated over the boardwalk and i was literally like 'i think im in love' #also i know you guys almost certainly dont know what that is. i have an insanely unporportional hatred of that story especially compared to #its relevancy to scooby comics much less scooby doo as a whole #however i hate it so fucking much its unreal. like pure rage. its worse than scooby apocalypse to me <<<<absolutely nonsensical opinion #anyways feel free to ask me about it (i dare you. i dare you to do it) because i WILL fume with rage and i think that must be heard #but i will not go into a scooby comics rant unprompted. because before i subject you to that i need to know that at least 1 person is #remotely interested lol #also to properly form my rant id have to make myself read over the boardwalk again 🤢🤢🤢 <<<again nonsensical response #and i wont do that for me but id do it for any of you in an instant #ANYWAYS WHERE ARE MY COMICS. LITERALLY ONLY MY SCOOBY ONES (minus one sd & batman issue) ARE MISSING #my far sector tpb? got it! the historical civil war comic i think my grandfather gave me in 5th grade? have that! the scooby doo comics? #gone. vanished from this plane of existence #actually i do know where they are. i have too many books to fit in my bookcase so theres a huge stack that takes up like part of a wall of #books and notebooks and folders and old school binders and other junk #................ #goddamn it im going to go through that aren't i #this is gonna be a total mess dear lord #if i die know that i got crushed by a huge tower of books btw #anyways now time to go thru a bunch of trouble to track down like 3 single issues i KNOW i own #blah

once again thinking about gideon "if my heart had a dick you would kick it" nav

#that line was done dirty by being before all that (the pool scene) #or well #before the Big Parts of it #but dw gideon ill always b ur number 1 hypeman #also its been weird listening to music instead of an audiobook while driving again #the audiobook is on youtube but 1 it doesnt have the rewind thing libby does and 2 idk if listening to it first would be a good idea bc of #how harrow censors herself #like i tried listening to it but stopped after the lyctor list bc the formatting just... doesnt work in translation #and idk how the other stuff would translate #but either way my loan on it is 26 weeks out so..... probably will just keep reading it online #but its so much slower this way ughh

I haven’t kept up with Jujutsu kaisen but do they do regular classes at the school? Like it’s still a high school aint it? They’re teaching a bunch of kids, and they pulled Yuji out of his regular school for this (Yuuta too). Do these sorcerers graduate with a middle school level education??

#I know the answer to all of this is: it doesn’t matter #I tried to read the wiki on the school curriculum and it says they get a standard education #But the examples they list of standard classes are homeroom and sorcerer training #Which 1) homeroom isn’t a class and 2) sorcerer training isn’t part of standardized education afaik #So I’m starting to have doubts #jujutsu kaisen

you know im realizing now. with the exception of a few resident psychiatrists, ive had like. no good experiences with mental health professionals

#most recent occurance is eating my brain alive right now because I feel just so. degraded and offended by how she chose to evaluate me #I won’t get into it because it will make me spiral even more and get angrier and more overwhelmed but tldr she didn’t acknowledge #anything I said about my symptoms both out loud and via written test. chose to ignore or dismiss anything that came from me #as if I couldn’t be trusted to recount my own experiences and feelings. also did not take into account that I am an adult and thus have Had #to learn to mask and shit so while she brushed off So Much Shit because i seemed (in the three hours she met/saw me) #functional Enough. that’s only becuaee I put in a Lot of effort every day to do so. and that effort does not last forever #and of course because. like I said I’m an adult. I’ve been yelled at I’ve been punished I’ve been put through courses and #through the ringer of Society in general to the point where I mimic Normal Person Behavior at least somewhat decently when im prepared to do #so. she treated me like a child and didn’t acknowledge most of my major issues. ignored me when I said I don’t avoid social situations out #of fear/anxiety I avoid them because it takes a lot of energy for me to mask and try and read people and act accordingly #and in her report suggested generalized anxiety. part of the reason I was there is because anxiety HASNT ever properly described my #avoidant behavior. #and just. yeah I said I wouldn’t get into it but here we are. this always happens #it’s just eating at me because I keep realizing more and more things she just fucking disregarded. literally wrote that I ‘listed many #relevant symptoms’ and kept it at that. did not actually give those symptoms any validity. basically just implied I was listing things #just. becuase? #some shit was just blatantly wrong like claiming that I have a variety of interests when I told her outright that I can only be interested #in one specific interest at a time- example being the entirety of last year being only interested in One (1) video game. and this is to such #an extent that it’s difficult to make and maintain friendships because I have no interest in anything else but that One Thing for however #long and won’t care about other things people try to get me into in order to have something in common with me or whatever or just. yeah. #issues. #she didn’t acknowledge the issues I have with low empathy or overstimulation. didn’t acknowledge my history of taking things literally to #such an extent that it has caused problems with people. didn’t acknowledge anything that was self-reported and not being displayed in that #moment right in front of her eyes. it’s just. really really disappointing and. yeah degrading honestly #especially because it took months upon MONTHS to get this fucking appointment #and to just be not listened to and dismissed. #anyway. yeah I’ve also just only ever had really shallow relationships with therapists (at best) #and have never felt helped by them or like they ever put in much effort to try to Get to me so to speak. only my psychiatrists have #been open minded and Listened to me. but they were always residents so they’d leave in a year or so. I don’t have one at this point. #kibumblabs

The DCU Chronology Guide for reading characters is always interesting to me because it literally means it, as in timeline and not comic releases. So if an issue has a flashback that’s set further back than any other comic it puts it first when a lot of times that is not the first comic you should be reading for that character. Because no I do not think starting at issue #3 of Roy’s 4 part Arsenal mini series from 1998 is the best comic to read first for him. It’s only there because there’s a flashback to him when he’s very young in it.

#just imagine starting there #like not even in issue 1 or 2 of that mini #just read part 3 then come back to the rest of the mini hundreds of issues later #i know this says flashbacks but who would do that? #just read the flashback in a comic and come back to the rest of it later #why i had to use a combination of like 3 different things to get my complete reading list #this doesn't even list more fun comics too for some reason #which is actually where roy debuted

You may think I am exaggerating when I talk about my workload with all the plush dolls and how the drow line alone is going to easily have close to 40 if not more.

I am not.

Not pictured: 13 other drow dolls that I have finished but are packed away in storage in preparation of the move.

#felted dragon shop #4 of these are mine #1 is for my brother #the rest of these are all gonna go into the shop #you will notice in the last pic that there's a few dolls that have not been sewn yet... there's 7 in that bundle! #btw the dolls without elf ears with the chitons and peplos are actually from last year #I made a line of random plush dolls just before Halloween that I never ended up listing because they didn't fit an actual theme #and I wasn't really sure what I was going for just yet so I thought I'd probably give them away to friends or something #and some of which still need hair added to them #those ones will be in the shop and offered at a discount since the magnets don't work right in them sadly #my drow and surface elf and Raistlin plush all have their magnets working correctly #ALSO I JUST REALIZED THAT 2 OF MY HALF-DROW DOLLS DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THIS LINEUP #also this lineup does not include all the accessories and doll jewelry I've made and am continuing making #or the prototypes for my monster plush since those are super rough and I need more materials to finish them #plus I'm working on the Bregan D'aerthe website #plus I'm also revising and rewriting big parts of my novel because I got pushed into publishing it way before I was ready to #so since I didn't promote it basically no one read it and I took it down to edit and republish sometime next year

[fakecats]

convinced the reason hetalia is popping into my mind again is because of all the homestuck i’ve been seeing on my dash it’s like they’re cosmically connected twins

#also because i found my old hetalia manga #get out of my head personification of italy #my hetalia manga is literally the only german book i own bro #then i wanted to show my friends it but accidentally hetalia posted on main #actual worst day of my life #i hate hetalia #said through gritted teeth #guys i can read 1 panel of german hetalia that means i’m literally fluent in german #oh yeah worst part about the posting on main is that it was a panel where italy list his phone but it was in gera #was in german so it said handy #hetalia handy posting #on main #oh nein wo is mein Handy 💔💔💔💔💔 #my post 🔮 #laurence says things 🌌

I'm still thinking about that one bnha time travel fic tbh

#cloud posts #I think I might've remembered more about it? #1. there were 2 izukus at the same time #2. I found the fic 'Rinse but never repeat' and I know I read chapter of rbnr 3 in a similar timeframe as the fic I'm looking for #3. Izuku had many quirks I'm p sure #4. I think he had little gadgets??? technology???? afo won or smth it was a not a good future. I'm p sure it was kinda gone into in-depth? #5. the time travel was not accidental #6. I think future izuku went to get help from aizawa & nezu????? #7. future izuku was an underground hero #8. I am fairly certain that the past and future izuku's interacted. not 100% certain tho #9. I feel like it's worth mentioning that I don't remember any major ships being a part of it. but ya know #so what a list huh #I wonder if I'm melding many fics together... #actually 10. I'm p sure Izuku had some sort of implant in his... hand? body? something that required maintenance or smth #oh yeah I think I remember the future in this fic having nomus everywhere and multiple heroes dead? #not sure #anyways #going to bed now g'night tumblr peeps

One of these days I’m gonna suck up enough courage to put random-ass BL boys on my F/O list and then we’re ALL going to be sorry

#YES this is about Otsu Manly Appetites I am STEALING HIM #don't get me wrong I ALSO love Mingishi he's so unnormal but that's DIFFERENT #Also I can't spell his fucking name to save my life it would simply never work #but ALSO it's about this big crybaby guy #Tomoki from Melt at Night (very hardcore shit I am a degenerate at times I will admit) #But he's SO FUCKING CUTE MY GOD!!!!!! STEALING HIM!!!! #I have others they're just really hard to remember the names of because I'll read the whole series all in one night #And my brain is bunk #The day I put a random ass Boy's Love man on my F/O list is the day I've finally gone off the deep end #I will never return to the light when it finally happens #For now I'm safe but like...... eventually.......... #This is such a genuinely cringe post but look man BL is like my Destresser when Regression doesn't work or I don't have TIME for it #I can either become a Toddler and watch Horror or I can sit with Koro and read about two dudes (usually) fucking really hard #I am Asexual and get nothing out of that part btw I'm not actually a degenerate I just like Gay Men as a Gay Men #I'm getting. Worse. #I should delete all these tags but I'm not going to I suppose this is the life I'm making for myself at 1:30am on a Saturday Morning #Alright back to Boy's Love

[bumbleblurr]

I would make a blurrbee fic rec masterlist but idk there's not too much blurrbee fics :[

#and a lot arent finished #also i dont feel good abt recommending my own writing bc that feels narcissistic & #& im not that confident in my writing anyway #there are like 2 fics outside ao3 that i think are fun and i like to read them #but 1 is technically. not actually a blurrbee fic but its p darn close #ogh idk I'll see what i can put together and decide then #it would probably end up being a rlly short list and have many disclaimers abt unfinished fics #🐝 could you repeat the last part? 🟦
