#sometimes I’m just bored

[shibaraki]

I like ‘bad’ fanfiction I like crackfic and silly AUs I like fic that diverges so far from canon that it’s practically unrecognisable and fic that is blatantly self indulgent I like fanfics with no plot and cliches and predictable twists and repeated tropes! not every fanwork has to be a bestselling novel every single fic has a place and a purpose and sometimes I want to come home and read something that doesn’t require me to think! sue me

#thank you to every writer ily and I see the effort you put into your fics I just hope you know you’re allowed to play around and be silly #we have such range. masterlist be looking like fic one: emotional turmoil ✨ fic two: piss kink ✨ fic three: blorbo works at sainsburys #I enjoy each and every one 👍 #sorry I’m preaching again ig lol I just saw some shitty comments on twit #‘omg this is so bad it’s so far fetched’ so what! it’s fun!! boring bastard aren’t u #bro I read fic for fandoms I’m not even in. for tv shows I’ve never even watched. as far as I’m concerned it’s CANON 🕺🏻 #hell ​some of the best plots I’ve read have been ‘poorly written’ fics #not everything has to be good sometimes being bad is why it’s charming smh #and bad is subjective anyway #sorry I just love fanfic #and I’m still hungover #priv

me after attempting to get back into sims and realizing i had a lot more to do than play the game

#hi everyone #I’m going around hugging you all #okay now that we are gathered here today #i will simply acknowledge that i have been gone for a very long time and then also acknowledge that maybe it was for the best #i relied on sims to be my only creative activity even if i tried to write a book at the same time #and also. i prioritized sims over real life responsibilities. that’s just a deadly combination lol #but I recently noticed I just replaced sims with Netflix. with YouTube. with anything that gave me quick dopamine #literally became addicted in a sense. still am but I’ve been cut cold turkey from most everything #I get off work and go. okay I’ve done the dishes and the laundry……..I could read or write or bake…. #I try to write and sometimes i get a good hour #then I read for a few hours and then get tired of it #and I made cookies Tuesday so I’m waiting for those to be gone before baking again #I’m just so pitiful that I feel BORED and don’t know what to do #so I said….. okay what if I do sims for an hour. #I downloaded some new cc Tuesday and tried to play yesterday #y’all ……………….. I can’t find the energy anymore to set up elaborate scenes and pose my sims and plan posts #I said wow… this is boring without my intervention and fake story #I said wow…….. all this for what? for tumblr? yes I created cool things and provided joy. but is that inherintly important compared to my #own joy? my own everyday activities I should be doing? #y’all I do not leave the house unless we got out to eat or shop or travel to our parents #.. I have little desire to. I’m trying to find that desire #but my husband is busy with grad school and work and I don’t want to do anything by myself #I’ve found myself in one heck of a slump #I didn’t want to be human for awhile. just had no desires no interests no ambitions #I was slacking off SO HARD at work. I just had no drive to do well #I’m still working on it. I’m still trying to get caught up. I’m still trying to force myself to move every day. #but I am struggling y’all. and I can tell you that sims… sims isn’t helping rn but I want it to so bad. I want to get back into it #I didn’t mean to disappear on everyone. I got married and then life got busy and then I fell into this hole of nothing #I didn’t even WANT to crawl my way out. but my husband has helped a lot. I feel like such a child!!!! #I reached max tags. 🙃 bye love you all. till next time

It’s spooky season so here are some webtoon recs

apologies in advance for the low quality images some of them are locked behind paywalls now (on the kr app the translated ones should be fine) and I was too lazy to go through all the chapters for the good panels

Ghost Teller- I’m so biased but this is one of my favorite webtoons. Summary in one line: ghosts go to therapy

Real summary: various ghosts (s1 is eastern ghosts, s2 is western ghosts) tell “human stories” (like how we talk abt ghost stories lol). the art is amazing, and all the episodes are all pretty solid. even if some stories are predictable you still feel for the characters (although personally I prefer s1 over s2)

Sweet Home- some of you might have seen it on Netflix but whether you watched it or not I highly recommend the webtoon (I have issues with the adaptation but that’s another story)

basically people suddenly start turning into monsters and the survivors of this apartment try to survive together. except the mc shows signs of becoming one of those monsters which creates unrest amongst the survivors. not going to get too into the monster part bc spoilers but the webtoon explores what people would do for survival so you get to see scummy ppl, kind ppl, all trapped together and try to survive 👍

the art style captures the story’s spooky/horror vibe so well. I didn’t include Bastard on the list (the previous webtoon the same author and artist worked on) bc it’s more of a psychological horror/thriller than creature? horror but if it sounds interesting or you liked sweet home I highly highly recommend Bastard as well.

+) There’s also a prequel called Shotgun Boy that’s more about the creatures’ origins

Surviving Romance- despite the title there’s little to no romance although it can probably be read as sapphic if you’d like. if you read makeup remover it’s by the same author. I’ve also seen some people compare this to orv but I can’t speak for that since I haven’t finished orv… haha

one line summary: mc gets isekai’d into a romance novel except it suddenly turns into a zombie apocalypse

long summary: mc is the mc of a romance novel but on the day she’s supposed to receive a confession from the male lead, there’s a zombie outbreak. she already read the novel so she knows the story and characters, but literally everybody that’s not the love interests don’t like her bc that’s how the mc of the novel was written. she finds out that the day resets when she dies but she doesn’t really care until someone she doesn’t know the face of saves her and she decides to find that person and make sure they make it out alive

even if you don’t like isekais (I personally don’t) it’s worth a try. it plays around the isekai premise well and the fourth wall moments were just *chef’s kiss* the impact of those moments especially when the webtoon was still ongoing was 🤌

the cast is primarily female characters, and despite the cast being on the slightly larger side, each of them are distinct from one another and the characters designs are very cute and colorful. overall it has an unique premise that it delivers pretty well on

Night of Shadows- kinda underrated tbh. mc has prophetic dreams, creatures from her dreams start appearing irl, and she’s the only one that knows how to deal with them.

mc is great. she’s strong, smart, and knows when not to give a fuck. the other three characters of the main cast are also pretty strongly established, and the plot and pacing are pretty good. this is the only one on the list that’s still ongoing (currently on hiatus after s1)

#did they rlly censor the middle finger? yes they did kr censorship just be like that sometimes #the webtoon fandom is so niche compared to mangas and anime fandoms so I don’t think this’ll reach a lot of ppl #but if you’re ever bored give them a try :D #I’m very aware these recs are me going dw just trust me #but please dw and trust me (not too much tho) #misu.txt #ghost teller #sweet home #surviving romance #night of shadows #webtoon

breaking my silence….. the “mirabel says she has no gift but she literally stopped time” jokes are unfunny🧍‍♀️

#encanto #encanto disney #disneys encanto #mirabel madrigal #maybe I’m just being boring but I’ve seen it so many times #like waiting on a miracle is such a gut wrenching song it just peeves me when people boil it down to that #also does nobody know what a soliloquy is? #sometimes I don’t even think people are joking with it like some people literally believe that’s her gift #again this is such a non issue but I just find it annoying lmao

#i’m stressed bc was supposed to email abt the topic today but did not bc i dont know lol #I’m all the time just putting myself to the AI corner and I keep fearing that the next 5 months I’ll be up to my ears with probability #and statistics bc like that’s going to be the case if I can’t get my brain to stop thinking like ’’the use of AI/ML in X’’ #but ​for some reason that’s the only thing it’s spewing rn #maybe bc that’s the only fucking thing u ever see these days #maybe I should just ’’if u can’t beat them; join them’’ with this #like I’m going to have to do something with AI sometime I’m sure so might as well like learn a bit more now #(I’m so bored with AI bc it’s goddamn everywhere and oh boy do have I knews for u (@me about my choice of study/career field)) #today’s productive(ish) things #january 2024 #2024

God I hate AI. I hate AI so much. This thing was supposed to be cool and futurey and renovate society in positive ways, and instead it’s just a giant plagarism machine. Art and creativity and actually cool shit getting all the humanity ripped out in favor of quick and easy. I fucking hate it with my whole soul. I hate the idea of AI replacing actors. I hate AI writing fiction. I hate AI trawling artists’ actual blood, sweat, and tears and bundling their hard work into a facsimile. This thing could have been so cool, and instead it’s just “how do we shut out artists of all kinds and make a quicker bigger buck in the process.” Get. So. Fucked.

#sometimes you just wake up and Rage #it’s not intelligence. it’s just theft. like. this isn’t cool robot shit it’s just boring #and sucks the heart out of all the stuff that makes humanity so awesome #we are art. good art. bad art. who cares dude! if it’s made by a person it’s neat as hell #but stealing art is stupid enough when it’s trying to pass someone else’s work off as your own #stealing art on a corporate level? fuck off dude #I’m so goddamn grouchy about this #push button: get art is not art. it’s just a button. #draw it bad! write it bad! act like you’ve never inhabited a human form in your life! at least there’s a person behind all of that

I think it’s funny how hated Lunter is like it’s not problematic just let people live their lives. Yeah they’re siblings but they’re not biological siblings? they just act like it? I mean honestly it’s just a boring ship to me. Like ok the quirky mc falls for the bad but sad boy who’s just misunderstood 🥺 like that’s so basic. Go watch riverdale or something

#the owl house #i’m scared to tag this lunter #luz noceda #hunter toh #the owl house fandom is so toxic sometimes when it comes to ships #and people are out here putting it on the same level as amiter and guster #like lunter really isn’t problematic it’s just boring as fuck #and tbh if they made it canon it’d probably ruin his character

was about to start flirting with one of my friends for fun, but then i remembered that you homos take everything too seriously 😤

#asjdhjffdjgj also i’ve led too many friends on by accident already… #sometimes i’m just bored and say shit #sorry if we’re friends and if i made you feel things at one point #it might happen again #belle speaks

me when undertale OC from 2016 😱😱

i changed her clothes, but kept some of her “edgy” traits for the sake of nostalgia. plus she used to be a mary sue so i fixed her up a bit. she was mainly based off of the idea that gaster created the DT extraction machine. he like, did some experiments or whatever and eventually created eihwaz. idk. younger me made this entire AU (which was basically just canon but a few things were different) just so i could have an OC related to gaster. i was so obsessed with the guy, it’s kinda embarrassing…

also, i used to ship her with underfell sans 😭

#her name is pronounced ‘ay-vass’ btw #her original name was mackenzie. which is so boring and basic i had to change it #i used to roleplay as her all the time on robloxian high school. i would RP with this other person had an undertale OC named fifi. #i hope they know how much they meant to me during a time where i was so hurt. or maybe they forgot me. i’m not sure #i still think about them sometimes #undertale #utdr #undertale oc #original character #undertale fanart #safe utdr #utdr fanart #utdr oc #reference sheet #idk i’m just putting whatever #if she happens to look like someone else’s OC or a character from an AU … they stole my idea!!1!1 /j #guess who’s getting better at anatomy 😎 #why do i keep making my OCs nonbinary and aroace 😭😭😭 #fuck . her belt is uneven. just ignore that #why does her arm look like that !! uh oh i’m noticing flaws. i gotta log out before i delete this out of embarrassment bye #aggghhh . her neck size also changed i just noticed ok i gotta stop now for realsies this time bye-bye #> rust’s art <

I watched a 2 hour video on Taylor Swift from a channel who’s stuff I mostly like and it was utter ass ❤️

#sometimes you watch something. and ur like. why did I even click on this #I’m not calling it problematic it was just completely boring

The confusion about jily goes away only if you accept the notion that Lily was not a morally pure saint

#I feel like a lot of people are baffled by that relationship and how it came to be and I feel like that confusion comes from thinking lily- #is a saint and not a flawed character #sometimes I see people going the love potion route because the idea of angel lily marrying a cruel bully is an incomprehensible #but that just takes away her agency and leaves her morally safe #if you just accept that she is very flawed the confusion goes away #anyways I prefer flawed lily to boring saint lily #I’m going to tag this as anti jily even though it’s really not #anti jily #hp #hp meta #anti james potter #anti marauders #anti lily evans

[dashiellqvverty]

to be honest i think there is a very clear pathway to cheronica happening this season (cheryl’s “get out of my school” vibes, veronica introducing the concept of bisexuality to the group, hermione telling veronica “no boys” which EYE think would be very fun if veronica was like “okay fine then girls”) but i KNOW they’re not gonna take it

#riverdale #cheronica #i know they’re gonna use this as a reset button for choni and i hate it #i enjoy both cheryl and veronica the most when they have shared plotlines honestly so as a ship it just seems like the natural choice #and i would loooove to see enlightened hollywood veronica be the one to handhold 50s cheryl out of the closet #i know it’ll be toni but i don’t want them to put her through that job again #it was sweet enough the first time like i DID love the conversion therapy kiss but #toni deserves so much more than cheryl both as a person and like narratively she deserves better storylines #i cannot watch her just be the cool bisexual who does whatever cheryl does and also tackles serious racism topics sometimes again #like. i know the actresses are besties but i’m sorry the ship is bad it got boring fast #r.txt

another thing I do wish had at least come up in ds9 while talking about the bajoran faith is the idea of just like. secular bajorans. I think the way they’re written that’s kind of ‘everyone just believes in the religion and that’s it’ is honestly a little flat? but I think there would be people who have a very complicated relationship with the prophets, who maybe didn’t believe in them before the events of the show and now maybe they have to but they think of them more as the wormhole aliens rather than gods, or just don’t believe (anymore, if they once did) that they should be worshipped because they allowed the events of the occupation to happen. but that wouldn’t mean entirely disengaging from the practices of religion as a community thing, or as comfort in times of need bc sometimes that sense of ritual can be a good one, who still wear the earring not so much as a sign of faith but just as a sign of being bajoran and being connected to their people.

idk not to sound like I’m overexplaining secular approaches to an ethnoreligion when that’s a lot of people’s lived experience but I’m just kind of thinking about what it would look like in this context, and I don’t know that it ever would have been a whole plotline but I think a mention could have been interesting. maybe something as small as rearranging duty schedules and it’s something that would interfere with religious services, but a couple specific bajorans are willing to take that because they’re not religious, and it’s a one line mention (which is the kind of thing ds9 often did well so it would feel natural), but it makes them a little less homogenous as a species.

#i don't really count the pah wraith cult for depth honestly like. it's never really about them #sometimes I feel like the show dropped the ball a little on bajorans other than kira and winn #like people always joke about how boring bareil and shakaar are and then idk that anyone else really gets talked about #and even if you expand to other shows you get ro laren and sito jaxa but let’s be real it’s mostly me talking about the latter #the few one-offs on voy don’t really have much going on (which is a bummer it would have been nice to have a recurring maquis bajoran) #and idk about later shows really but the prequel types won’t have anything so. idk. #I think just. adding a little more individuality in terms of things like faith could have helped the perception a little? #idk this became a grander statement than it was meant to be I’m really just rambling #and now im trying to tie it back together and i really cannot. good luck. #san rant #im sure this is a post someone else has already made but im always just doing whatever.

Started watching the FX What We Do in the Shadows and i realized that Nadja and Jeff/Gregor is basically the same juxtaposition as every cool/hot woman I know and their straight boyfriend.

They always talk about their boyfriend like “my Gregor would die for me and has died for me in every life before this. He’s so strong and so valiant! Our love is undying!”

And then he’s just some guy that’s the embodiment of white bread and only knows how to talk to you about his job and maybe crypto currency or some shit.

#im no different #the call is coming from inside the house #i love my bf #but i acknowledge that to an outsider it is the same #not that im cool and hot #but I did wear an outfit to the farmers market that I got a lot of compliments on #I looked very cute #and he was in a plain shirt and shorts #I like to think I have a unique and intriguing appearance #for the record my bf is interesting #but sometimes I feel like I introduce him and he is just some guy #i’m an artist #he’s an engineer #can I make it anymore obvious? #hate to see the bisexuals fall victim to the hot girl/boring guy trope #but alas #wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nadja of antipaxos #bi girl boring boyfriend club #bisexual #halloween #vampire
