I'm listening to Simple Plan again for the first time in like ten years and Loser of the Year + pre canon erasermic. That is all

#i hope i am not just an mha blog to you but also a source of the worst music takes youve ever read in your life #erasermic #liza blather #i was listening to you suck at love bc it actually has such strong wip vibes for One Specific Character #it was like a banana peel i slipped and now it's simple plan hours for the first time since like freshman year #OF HIGH SCHOOL #i really do not have time to be on here today but i felt compelled to share this #sp: you make me want to shut it all down throw it all away cause im nothing if i dont have you #me (delusional): omg this is just like blorbos from my shows #liza's tunes tag

hnggghhggg

#just realized a little too hard that im packing my entire life up into a single suitcse and hitting the road for a month. in a month. #im also turning 24 in a month #both of these things perturb me in some direction or another. #its also 1030pm but i am Vibrating unfortunately #also realized vividly today that ill be attending my college graduation less than 48hrs after landing back in canada #and that will be after 30+ hours in transit coming directly from a 12 hour time difference #so that'll be fun #not really how i imagined graduating when i started my freshman year? #actually dear lord i could not have fathomed Being Here when i was 19 and starying college #i remember hearing about the program im currently doing and thinking 'wow that's incredibly cool but im just not the kind of person #who can do that sort of thing' #i still periodically have moments where i just look around and have to be like Yes I Really Am Here #and yeah turning 24. in a month. that's far too grown up of an age for how i feel inside. #and yeah trvaelljng to 5 vountires in a month again? wild. #didnt think anything could top seeing the great pyramids for out of body wild experiences And Yet. we sure are gonna be going some places. #also being in a serious relationship huh. didnt think this was going to happen until i was 35 if ever. #skmeone needs to tell me why my brain decided to watch wedding dress youtube shorts today with a vague expectation that might be relevant #to my life within a decade. #so yeah all that to say my life feels fucking insane to me. #I Am Not Qualified For This Experience Help #(this is not entirely negative im just ??????)

[jtl-fics]

omg wow. the new chapter wow WOW. WHERE DO I START OMG. jsjdjdjsjs i absolutely want to reread this chapter again after this bc omg the BUILDUP WAS SO INCREDIBLE WOW SO MUCH HAPPENED THIS CHAPTER I HAVE NO WORDS SERIOISLY OMGGGGG

the talk with ichirou and our boy ff is so funny in sm ways holy shiet and i loVED that it was feom ichirous perspective like ff is one incredibly hot mess but only we (and ff and nicky and gs know that of course) but literally everyone else including head of the mafia (or yakuza?) think he is the most competent incredible and coolest person to ever exist like ajdjhdjsjjs

and omg neil <3 we love to see neil eating and being surrounded by the love and family he deserves <3 and im really loving aaron in this fic like ik he was an asshole in the books but u can also sorta understand it and i love how ur portraying him just like idk how to explain it but yas <3 i feel like hes always so overlooked and forgotten so im really glad that he has his moments here (esp love it when hes bickering w the other monsters so it feels so real i luv it)

grandma smith is a gem as always and i find her and kevins relationship so hilarious and cute

the mix of povs was so cool i loved it, the way it flowed & the suspense!!!! so good omg. esp when it finally jumped to ff at the end LMAO GETTING THE REAL INFO!!!!!!!! damn smithy did so well especially him thinking he was talking to the police!!!! like sm could have gone wrong & his thoughts at the end PLS SO FUNNY!! no smithy ur not racist <3 but omg pls hes so cute i love him so so much

i cant wait for the next chapter thank u so much for writing this ahsjdjsjja

Real tears at this comment! This was such a nice thing to wake up to!!!!!!

I keep thinking that when I get around to properly writing this in not draft form (looking at you earlier chapters) I'm going to write some scenes from other character's POV (Grandma's whole 48 hours with the monsters from her POV and FF's POV as he talks to the nice FBI agent Iruma Matsumoto). Writing from Neil's POV inbetween helped me a lot in keeping this chapter from being too heavy. (Also snuck in a bit of the Neil & FF friendship)

Ichirou's POV and like turning the shit that FF WOULD SAY into stuff that Ichirou could misinterpret took me sooo long it's why the chapter came out so much later than I wanted it to (that and I spent most of my weekend building that link tree for the AUs)

Lol I just said this in a conversation I was having on here but YOU READ THAT ONE POST ABOUT NEIL'S GLOW-UP FROM THE BEGINNING OF HIS FRESHMAN YEAR AND YOU NEVER RECOVER. He's still too skinny!

Aaron is one of my favorite characters who does not get used enough IMO. Like he's fucking funny! Yeah he's kind of an asshole Neil's freshman year but like he's a STUDENT ATHLETE in PRE-MED dealing with THE MAFIA. Also I really love writing the Monsters as just like...normal guys. Like it's not all overwrought conversations sometimes it's "No Kevin, putting vanilla protein powder in chicken stock is not 'Like Chicken and Waffles' it's a CRIME."

I do feel bad about how GS is just constantly like dogging him but in a voice that makes him preen but like to be fair.... vanilla protein powder into her sweet grandson's soup.

FF is always worried about the most important things when faced with a situation. Like 'At least it's a beautiful day I can cloud watch as Captain Neil and Andrew murder me.' , 'I hope there's a bathroom in this torture chamber' , 'Oh gross he didn't wash his hands before he left the bathroom to go murder Captain Neil', and 'Oh no I WAS racist and RUDE. Why the fuck didn't I ask for his name BEFORE I had that conversation. GS raised you better!'

#Fluent Freshman AU #Ask #FF - Pt. 29 #I stayed up late chatting and now I have to double check myself #To make sure I'm putting Captain Neil instead of something else #It was such a fun convo #but oh boy I am a bit sleepy #at least it's just a half day today #in the masterpost

i ann getting up at the last possible minute bc i’m too tired to function otherwise

#it’s a little cruel for them to do this to freshman when they also have 8 am classes #plus for commuters it’s absolute hell #but it’s fine i just have to get through today #i still don’t get to sleep in that much tomorrow but it’s more than i have been getting

#hffjfhfhhhhghgh #sometimes you think you’re over a guy but then you have a normal conversation with him like a normal person and proceed to think about it #for the next ten hours #my silly little INFP brain is being insufferable about this #like seriously I don’t want to date a guy who curses like a sailor I don’t #but we just get along so well together? he was homeschooled like me? he’s an lotr fanatic (as in he’s read the books)? he has OPINIONS #about little women? he’s an agatha christie fan?? he had reasonable things to say in biblical studies a couple years ago (which is more #than I can say for 95 percent of the people in that class)? #but I mean it doesn’t matter we’ve known each other for nearly three years and I can’t tell that he’s ever had that kind of interest in me #(granted I am a TERRIBLE judge) #fun fact though he is the guy who read a story I wrote freshman year and read a romance scene and exclaimed ‘that’s it! that’s what love is #supposed to be!’ #I mean how was I SUPPOSED to react #if nothing else he’s definitely one of Anne’s kindred spirits and I think I can live with that #anyway sorry feel free to ignore I just needed to ramble #I drove for like three hours today and it was just swirling around in my head the whole time #will probably delete later because there are a couple people who follow me who know me irl and would probably know exactly what I’m talking #about. they’re not super active though so #(and yes this is Alcott boy. although hilariously before I knew his name I called him Agatha Christie boy) #on a lighter note I may have convinced him to watch otgw because it has Elijah wood in it lol

[peapod20001]

Aha ahmmmm. Thinking too hard </3

#vent #idk. I think I’m a bad friend #I try to be good. but I can only offer so much it’s like I’m not doin enough #I can’t comfort people. I can’t hold meaningful conversation. hell I can’t even keep up with messaging people #haha today was a good day but now I’m on the verge of tears idk what happeennedddd #thinking about that post or poem or smth I saw once. bout the broken cup being fixed but the chipped cup being chipped forever. haha yeess #idk man. I’m tryna be better for those close to me #I wonder sometimes how I seem from the outside. what I come across as #whether I’m something people want around or if I’m just convenient to have #idk. idk. I showed a freshman around campus today. walked with her for over an hour #said I was mysterious but ready to help. outgoing even #I wonder if I am really. anyways back to me trying to get myself to join a discord server

[opens-up-4-nobody]

...

#me: y am i so powerful when i chronically undersleep? is not sleeping thr key to success? #me a few days later: y do i feel like physically sick? what did i do to deserve this? #im so tried. well probably im just really bored. absolutely im just really bored. bc i felt like that physical #like mentally sick feeling. then i gave a talk to a freshman class and that was fun and i felt better bc they asked a lot of questions #and now i feel horrible again. i should sleep bc i have to go sampling tomorrow which will b exhausting #but allas my brain wont let me. blah. i just cant focus. everythings too boring #at least i got thr clothes for my hallowe3n costume today. which is to say flowy black pants. black gloves. and sleeveless back turtle neck #such a powerful outfit. the anbu outfit is truely unmatched #god. if i could see without my glasses i could wear that outfit and go to school at night to transfer algae like an absolute freak #that would b a very alarming thing to see in thr lab in thr middle of the night. some weirdo in all balck and a anbu mask #i could b tenz0 from thr soil Microbiology lab. rather than kks from accounting class lmao #but i csnt see 6 inches from my face without my glasses so no dice. probably for the best #unrelated

Run free Rosie 😢 Or better yet stick your head out of a car it’s much faster and you can occasionally jump through drive-through windows 💕

#damn we got her when i was a high school freshman #she had a full life but man i am so sad today:(

[malewifegradyruewen]

its everyones favorite time of year

thats right its tech week

#i zip-tied mirrors to the back of my front seats so my sisters can do their makeup in the car #my mom stayed up until 4 am making costumes last nighr #and im only wearing half my jewellery today #im not wearing earrings or a necklace or half my bracelets #i also had culvers last night bc i cant have it for the next two weeks #the custard will fuck up my vocal cords #at least i dont have semester exams like my freshman year #that was a time in my life

The people at my community college were fantastic and friendly today! So much help. My personal therapy lady was also excellent at making me realize I was all worked up and saying things to myself that I would NEVER say to my daughter & that I deserve compassion from myself because if perfection is a 10 - NO ONE on earth is a 10! *There are NO perfect people* so stop trying to hold myself to an impossible standard. Yea. A breakthrough day. I told you my therapy lady is good 🌟 So I got school supplies from Dollar Tree on my way home, that was fun. Didn't realise how much I missed doing that since the kids got all grown up. I love my strawberry binder 🍓

#school supplies #i am worth it #perfection is not possible #self compassion #therapy #helpful people #community college #back to school #I cant believe I'm doing this #college freshman #grandma freshman #lol #good day #today #relief #i was freaking out

first off after rereading a good portion of your fics, I have a question to ask. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF TEA. because that is a consistently reoccurring theme in your fics and hell I am NOT complaining just very curious now because you are very clearly invested in tea ajcjjsnxnxncnl

SECOND!!!!!!!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT ALL TIME LOW IS RELEASING A NEW SINGLE ON OCTOBER SEVENTH?!?! IM SO FUCKING EXCITED BELLA OMFG. THE LAST NEW ORIGINAL SONG WE GOT WAS IN 2021!!!!! (I’m not counting Blinding Lights. They could have chosen ANY song and they did blinding lights. I’m.) (AND PALAYE ROYALE IS RELEASING THEIR ALBUM ON MY BIRTHDAY AAAAAAA)

ANYWAY I seem to have a habit of commenting on your fics a ton and then not touching them for a while and then you go and reply to them and immediately my brain goes SHES ALIVE ITS TIME TO LET HER KNOW I STILL EXIST MUAHAHHAGAHA and I go and leave like +200 more comments and I kNOW you said it’s not annoying but ankxksjxnnx

ANYWAY ANYWAY I HOPE YOURE HAVING A REALLY GOOD DAY BELLA <33333

HFDLKJG i will happily tell you !!! i only ever drink one kind of tea: english breakfast with milk and sugar. i probably put more sugar than a normal human being is supposed to put, but i stand by my decisions. as a matter of fact i am drinking this exact kind of tea right now at this moment

yes!!! i saw !!!! and ghsfhgdslgdkmgj i agree so hard with the blinding lights comment they could have literally covered any song in the world and. they. and they went with blinding lights. they went with blinding lights. i haven't even listened to it under protest. exciting about palaye royale though ! i don't listen to them but mazel tov to you. maisie also just announced that she's releasing a song on october 7th so it's gonna be a good day for music

dsfgdklj well your commenting habit is great i enjoy it so carry on as you were fldkghgdh and thank you for the well wishes sol, my day started pretty bad but has slowly gotten better

#ask #blurrycow #sol #i made myself some tea in a thermos and i went to the library #and i started doing some work on my paper #then i answered all my ao3 comments (as im sure you noticed) #and then i went to the honors college which is on this floor of the library #because my friend works there and so i got to chat with her #she forced me to eat an apple because she had too many of them but honestly the apple was really good for my mood #something about the crunch. aggressively biting into something. really helped my irritation lmfao #and i got to rant to her about all the things upsetting me #or i guess just some of the things but it was nice anyway #and i got to briefly interact with one of my profs from freshman year whom i really like and is very funny #so that was nice #and now i'm back at my laptop still in the library and i am praying that i will finally start the actual writing of my paper #it's going to be five hundred words it doesn't need to be any more than that and i believe in me #so yeah that's how i'm doing #i thought i was going to be miserable all day but a change of scenery and also of company has done me worlds of good ill be honest #i could probably stand to eat something more substantial than the one cookie and one apple ive had today #but one thing at a time ya know

sometimes in life you have to ask yourself WWAMD: what would adam milligan do.

#i have an essay due this friday #haven’t written one word not even one #haven’t even picked the topic #what would college adam do #he would write tf out of this essay #he would get into med school #disclaimer i am not trying to get into med school #just trying to pass a basic freshman english class lololol #my content is lacking because i’m busy #adam went to college #my brother in christ was going to be a doctor #i say this stuff a lot tho it motivates me #like today at the gym i wanted to give up #but i said #WWSWD #what woulf sam winchester do #he would finsih the work out #and then he would probably grab a salad #and a bland ass nasty ass protein shake #but i’m not that strong #i ate a twix after my work out #oops… #i try to use dean as motivation but i never works because #well.. because #he’s kinda… he’s too much like me and too much like a slacker #adam post cage is def a slacker too #but i was thinking pre cage pre med school adam

I'm dog-sitting for the weekend in the city and I may only be a half hour away from home but oh my god it's a totally different world from my little rural neighborhood

#adventures with hannah #heard people outside on the street just now and my first reaction was What The Fuck How Are They So Close To My House #but it's just bc my window is on a street!! it happens! it's a Saturday night ppl are coming home late!! #meanwhile at home if you time it right you might go literal days without seeing your neighbors #i do kinda like the vibe kf having people around but god is it weird #also i walked downtown to the pride fest today and it was super nice being able to walk places #but i am so unused to walking in a city alone #i lived in san Francisco my freshman year of college and used to just wander all over by myself sometimes but i guess i'm out of practice #it's real easy to get comfy living out in the country! #walking the dog is easier bc he's big so I've got scary dog energy even tho he's a big nervous sweetheart
