#short term happiness

[elcucurucho]

I really do think everything is going to work out, so much care has been put into this project, both by creators and admins, a restructure is disruptive short term but so incredibly necessary for the long term continuation of the server. It’s clear everyone working on the project believes in what they’re doing, and it’s unambiguously a good thing that going forward everyone will be fairly compensated for their efforts.

#qsmp #on a personal level however if there is ONE more situation that is difficult short term but productive for the future I’m going to SCREAM #it’s been literally on a weekly basis for a month straight I’m exhausted #I wish we could jump forward to when things are better without sitting through the ugly in between #but! not how life works! no way forward but through and all #however unrealistic it is I just want everyone to be happy. surely we’ll get there eventually

KazuRei Week Day 1 - Growing Old

when miri is fully grown and moves away from the family home, the papas move to the countryside and become the unofficial elder gays in the little village

#the papas deserve a good rest from the bustle of the city #rei is wearing a samue ! he likes casual yukatas bc its simple and loose (and very different from the suits that he used to wear) #kazuki just likes to wear a shirt and basketball shorts lmao #he also has a bit of a beer belly ;w; #most of the townsfolk privately refer to them as elder gays even tho they never officially told anyone but cmon. #no one's falling for the ''we've been roommates for almost four decades'' bs #they suck at giving advice tho... (baby gay: how did you guys come out to your parents? #kazuki: never told mine. we already weren't on speaking terms when i met rei so. #rei (trying not to say that his father tried to assassinate both his husband and child when he found out): ... yeah same #((also yes this is all inspired by barakamon lmao. its one of my favourite animes - slice of life comedy and has lots of cute kids in it!)) #anyways first prompt done woo!!! happy kazurei week everybody! #this is the first fan week that im gonna participate in all the days (hopefully lmao i still have to do two other prompts) #also i tried to do a different style than my usual in the first pic and even tho im not entirely happy with it its eh. fine. lol #i just like rotating this half-cooked au in my mind hkfhkjfdgs #buddy daddies #kazurei #kazurei week 2023

Maybe I need adderall with adjunct meds. Only probably is I can't tolerate anything and the fact adderall hasn't triggered a bunch of neurological issues is so good I don't want to press my luck by being stupid with an ssri.

#like it doesnt help my executive dysfunction :/ if it did itd be..miracle drug. #it helps me be more present in a dazed way i used to hate but i am thanking for now because i dont care about being dazed anymore lol #i think it might be something i just used short term though idk while i stabilise :/ but i will take what i can get now. #if all my energy is not solely going towards not killing myself im happy even if my energy instead is going on many useless trains #incoherents

#sometimes i be like.... #“i wish i didn't quit my FT job to go back to school :/” #but sometimes hard decisions are just that- hard. #fellas I'm telling you...had I stayed at my job I think I would have gone nuclear- like u all would see me in the news #in the long run i think it's for the best- long term happiness is worth the short term discomfort #think i've just been duped to conflate my worth with monetary value+ healthcare lol but ain't that america!! #if any moots are going thru the same thing or have any encouraging words- i'd love to hear them :/ #personal

I love being on Tumblr and having mutuals — this year has been so much experiencing community and friendship in ways I haven't in a long time, if ever, and even if I still have frustrating mental health struggles that can get in the way of that and other stuff it's still easily been a highlight of this year and I'm so glad I got to have all of this and all of you and I'm very hopeful about seeing it continue into the next year

#the last two months or so have been a bit of an anxiety/depression/idk something rough patch #which has been making socializing and everything else really tricky #but knowing that it happened before makes me pretty confident that it'll happen again #so even if I'm kind of over all sad in the short term I'm also over all happy in the long term #and that's not something I think was the case last year so #idk. it's just cool #I really have had some amazing experiences this year #especially with Tumblr and fandom #just me rambling

its been a billion years since I posted anything meaningful about mcga but I'm thinking about Alex helping Magnus with clothes.

I think Blitzen would love to help style Magnus, but I think he might accidentally end up being a bit overbearing, albeit with good intentions. He wants to help, but would probably end up tripping over his own fashion opinions more often than not, and Magnus would want to make his friend happy too much to actually voice his own opinions consistently. But Alex would understand that identity through fashion is something slow to be discovered on your own. It's not instant, it's a slow process of trying things and finding out what makes you feel good physically and emotionally. You can't pressure a person finding their own style, especially someone who's never had much room to do so and will likely feel guilty about making that room. She's gone through the process, and she'd probably be more than happy to help someone with it too.

I'm thinking about them going around to different stores and finding that Magnus likes second hand and low-end boutique stuff more than anything. Alex letting him onto her etsy account and buying his first piece of jewelry, taking him around to all of her favorite stores where she's greeted as a friend. Yeah, they could do all this in Valhalla, but where's the fun in that?

I think Magnus would like earth tones and dark, muted colors. He would avoid synthetic materials for their unnaturally soft textures and blue would make rare appearances. Alex would parade him around in his first pair of White Guy Khaki Shorts in five years, glowing with a silly sort of pride and Magnus feeling something kindle back to life in his chest at a growing collection or flannels, just like his mom. I'm imagining Magnus learning what it's like to live with his body, rather than despite it, and feel comfortable with himself in his surroundings for the first time since he was a little kid, taking a hike in the woods. And I'm thinking of Alex holding his hand the whole time.

#feeling sooooo sos normal rn #and i dont mean to make this post and trample the people who feel clothing has no bearing on their comfort or self perception #i just want to talk about how much it can mean to someone trying to find who they really are and come to terms with that person #and when i say style i dont mean aesthetic or fashion. i simply mean personal preferences for comfort and look (if that matters) #your personal style can literally be cheap graphic tees and basketball shorts and if that makes you happy then have fun!! live your truth!! #this is just me noting that magnus seems to almost intentionally avoid clothes except to mention discomfort and i think he should get a #happier relationship with his outer appearance than he has especially considering the royal fuckery thats happened with his bodily autonomy #and confidence within the context of the series #i might be crazy and projecting but i just want to give him something kind. as a treat. #and alex does seem to enjoy sharing her passions with those she cares about!! its quality time without any kind of social expectations #regarding the nature of their attachment. she can just spend time with someone she likes doing something she likes no strings attached. #im sure its qlso fun to gently heckle things throughout the process with someone whos gonna just nod along 💀 #im thinking way too hard about this #but im gonna hit post and know. i am still thinking. #magnus chase #alex fierro #mcga #mcga headcannon #raspberry rambles

The world is reaaally pushing... BEGGING for me to set my priorities straight, but I feel like if I wrote this story I've been playing in my head before bed for days— I can tolerate life just a little bit more to actually do something.

#high chance i'm gonna be stressed and do things in a rush #but imagine the short term happiness (・▽・) #also it's dnb #dreamnoblade #dreamnoblade fanfiction #fanfic writing #cringe y thoughts #or it's killugon as well... maybe

[toshidou]

is there any better feeling than making bad financial decisions when you're sad? because i think not

#☁︎⋅chats #retail therapy is absolutely real #and it does help #i can prove it #my bank account however #she is less happy #but who cares about that!! #im all about that short term gain and long term pain y'know

I know it's probably overanalyzing, but the thing that warms my heart so much since last year is how happy and confident is Hans in Once upon a Studio and Disney Speedstorm, he kept his charming side, but in current canon he is much more able to have fun and be even sassier in these media than in the original movie, where he was already sassy, but the look of confidence and adorability (is this even a word? 🤣❤️❤️) in both these media suggest, that he is healed now from all the trauma he had in his life and enjoys it as much as he can, going for a group photo or racing with his team (he is in the team with Elsa, that highly suggest Helsa in F3/4), and I'm really proud of him he is in the current state of happiness now 😭💔❤️❤️

HE IS SO ADORABLE HAVING A CHANCE TO BE IN A LITERAL GROUP PHOTO OMG (And I love Hans's sassy look at the end 🥴❤️)

In Speedstorm he is even more self-confident, yet using his charm, and I'm really happy Hans came a long way through Frozen franchise to be fully happy, he really deserves it 😭❤️

(I know technically Once upon a Studio and Speedstorm Hans are AU's, but idc, Hans is Hans and he is happy, that counts 😌❤️)

I just hope to see him healed in F3/4 ❤️

Post inspired by great analyses post by @frozen-snowflakesandsunflowers 💙

#Frozen Hans #Disney Speedstorm #Once upon a studio #Frozen details #Frozen 3 #Frozen 4 #I just love how akward and confident at once Hans is in all this media #Like one time he literally peeks out of nowhere to be seen in group photo and next he shows off to other characters and Speedstorm "audienc #I love the complexity Hans has now in Frozen franchise in terms of personality #He was already complex but I mean we got a whole new side of who he is 😭❤️ #I hope Frozen Winter Festival Hans will be that healed and happy too #If he appears in this short which I'm really hyped for

#im gonna be mopey for a minute dont mind me <3 #but like ive always known that my fics wont ever get super high engagement bc i write for smaller fandoms/pairings #like a couple heta fics a couple naru fics im not exactly writing about the most up to date popular fandoms in media atm #which is fine lmao i knew that when i started posting a year ago and its been more for me to get back into writing than anything else #but like. i wont lie. it is disheartening as a writer to see just how much people refuse to comment on fics now #idk i dont wanna go too into it bc like i know im not ~entitled~ to comments or whatever but. idk!!! #authors would be more than happy to post more and interact more if people actually commented on the stuff they like #i have a couple people who always comment on my stuff and i adore them with every fiber of my being they are my world #and i wish more people were like that. fic gets the short end of the stick in terms of engagement and fandom attention which #doesnt. exactly feel great lmao #idk where i was going with this i more just wanted to have a little mope and whine but. #idk if anyone is reading this maybe take a minute out of your day to leave a nice comment on a fic you enjoy #it really will make someones day and i promise your fav authors are more likely to post more if they see people enjoying their stuff #anyway yeah thats all i got. happy monday! :D #personal

maybe growing up with a mom who is insane about saving money was not bad after all because i will never go into debt nor will i ever buy something i don't actually need from pure fear

#bad thing is i feel like our generation as a whole has already decided there is no point in saving money (true) so we should spend it #with things we like for short term happiness (also true)

Rewatching DS9 and VOY has just made me want to do episode rewrites but with the TOS crew. So what about Voyager s2 e25 Resolutions but with TOS mckirk or AOS spones. This is a kinda long post and just my random thoughts so heres a keep reading

So Jim and Bones are stuck on a planet while infected with some virus that doesn't effect them while on the surface. And the Enterprise then has to leave because of some reason. So Spock is left in charge like Tuvok was and has to deal with the fact that the Captain and CMO have been left behind and with the growing resentment towards him even though Kirk ordered them to leave.

Also like the idea of Bones being busy researching how to cure them while Jim quickly grows to enjoy the easy living and maybe for once in his life the ship isn't a burden on him. While bones is losing his mind because being stuck on a planet with nothing but researching this one cure is like Bones' worse nightmare. (like i know most people would think Bones would be like Chakotay but its my episode rewrite and i can do what i want). Also the idea of Jim wanting to build them a log cabin extension is very fun. Also since neither of them have any romantic attachments they actually do something about the romantic tension and then have to deal with that when they get back on the ship.

Though I'm not sure if they would have to ask for help from some enemy or Bones would just figure out a cure. Maybe Bones finds a cure and then isn't sure what to do since Jim seems so happy and he doesn't want to ruin that or maybe he thinks if they go back to the ship Jim will just pretend what happened on the planet didn't. And then a day later the ship comes back with a cure and he has to deal with the fact that he didn't instantly tell Jim about it. And of course Jim finds out and hes conflicted because he wants to be angry at Bones for not telling him right away but hes also angry that the cure was found at all so its a whole mess.

Or if it was AOS it would be Bones and Spock who are left behind mainly so it would mirror the fact that Janeway has a partner back home so spones just have awkward weird romantic tension. (not sure if this would have mckirk as well or just spuhura) Though in this version nothing would actually happen on the planet cos no cheating thanks, also not enough time would have past where they actually think theres no going back. Not sure either Spock or Bones would be like Chakotay, they'd both be super focused on finding a cure. They would also have to deal with this fallout on the ship but it would be in a very different way than TOS mckirk. Maybe if theres no mckirk it would end up with mccoy/spock/uhura in some configuration. Though if mckirk was already a couple it would stay the two different couples. lmao or maybe mckirk comes out of it since jim realised how much he actually missed Bones. i dont know this is post is turning into a mess

So its Jim and Nyota who have to deal with leaving the people they care most about behind. As i think there would be less resentment from the crew to deal with. I'm sure the med crew would miss their boss but they would have less power to make a fuss about it.

But theres still the fact that they're not as far away from starfleet as Voyager was and why the ship would leave but like why should that stop me?

I mean it could also just be AOS mckirk on the planet but for some reason i'm more drawn to the TOS version in this instance

#this post is dumb #mckirk #why do i think jim would be the one to “give up” well for one he cant actually help with the research #and he wants to want the simple life so i think he would get swept up in the idea of building a home away from it all #i dont think if they literally never got off the planet he would be happy long term but in the short term he would enjoy the hard work #also like could you imagine bones actually wanting to build a house by hand???!?! #If bones doesnt have doctoring to do he will get bored #im not taking any criticism on this /jk #also bones would be complaining the whole time and then jim builds him a bath to shut him up #though i dont think bones would have the subplot with the monkey #maybe theres some alien horses that jim gets attached to and he and bones go horse back riding #what is this turning into??? #though the storm destroying all the work bones has done so he starts to come around to jim's thinking could work #you can see im more attached to the TOS verison #i do not think TOS spock would have a good time in this fic #but at least jim isnt in to much danger so he would only have to worry about the crew #and bones is with jim and hes the most annoying when jim isnt in charge so maybe it would be a better experience for him #also the crew wouldnt be going space mad so theres lots of things to consider #maybe i should actually write this

Spent this last week tired and in pain and I want to draw about it, but unfortunately aforementioned condition of being tired and in pain makes drawing impossible, so I guess I just have to suffer instead. Why this.

#i mean i know why this it's the hypermobility #but this is a new record for number of joints that hurt at once #hands and in particular thumbs; elbows; shoulders; and feet if i spend too long standing up #i can't currently use my thumbs because the thumb braces are the only thing stopping the pain getting worse #and that means no drawing because i can't hold a pencil #no piano or video games either which are other go-to distractions #i can't hold my phone properly #and i can only type in short bursts with fingers and no thumbs #i hate not being able to use my hands properly #the whole hypermobility thing has been causing me more and more problems lately and it sucks #i really need to get back to the doctor about it #but i'm so damn busy with work this month that i haven't had the time #and being so busy is just making things worse #driving is getting harder and i'm really worried that's going to become a problem #at least the thumb braces help with the pain #and physically prevent me from doing the things that'll make it worse #even if those things include. basically all of my hobbies #fuck this honestly #starting to come to terms with the fact that i am. a bit more physically disabled that previously assumed #happy disability pride month to me i guess :/ #personal stuff

Illustrated an old vent poem I found lying around in my private channels. I wanted to keep it largely wordless, those words are for me alone and no one else.

#tw dead animal #art #digital art #the second image is more of a response to what I wrote back then from the perspective of now #i wanted to post it because it feels a bit like a declaration that no one will fully understand #helps me really get past it and feel happy about the choices I made #even if i suffered greatly in the short term #but yeah like. I'm still struggling but i'm certainly happier than I was back then #Also i only drew this art bc i felt like it im actually doing pretty fine rn #elk art
