aita for asking my mum to clean out the kitty litter trays even though its usually my chore
i drove to doctors and work this morning, i worked 8.30 till 5 she worked 8.30 til 4 and drove home after her shift ended to pick up my dance clothes for me (i only didnt have them because i had to stay late at work since 3 people went home sick).
my friend cancelled on me for dance tryouts so i spend the afternoon crying and eventually choose to go anyway because i was excited for hiphop but by this point my head is pounding.
i get out of work, she drives me to dance and goes to get macdonalds while she waits for me to get out. halfway through dance they mention we are not even doing hiphop today not until next week (u have to pay for the tryouts btw)
i get out 7.40ish. on the drive home im thinking "fuck its almost 8 i havent done any uni study, (i have 2 lectures, a quiz and like 8 readings that need to be done today and tomorrow), i havent spent any time with our cats or cleaned their litter trays yet."
for reference we have new cats and are introducing them into a house with a dog so rn we have them in one room and let them out occassionally while putting the dog out back, while i clean out the litter trays and top them up every day, once a week we empty them completely and clean them out
so we get home and i say "would it be too much to ask if you could please do the litter trays tonight" i try to explain that i have a headache and ive still got a lot of uni homework to do and i havent spent any time with the cats so i'd play with them for a bit while she cleans the trays and then do my homework
immeadiately she starts yelling at me that shes tired, she hasnt been home from work all day, she did it last time, shes done so many favours for me already today and blah blah blah.
the way i see it, first, i clean the kitty litter trays every day and vacuum their room. she has literally never done this, she emptied out and washed a tray last week because i was sick and got home from work and passed out. i (a learner btw so im very stressed when i drive) drove us to her appt and then to work, i worked more hours than her today, i danced all night with a headache, i also have not been home all day, after being cancelled on and then them not even doing the type of dance i wanted to do and i still have to do uni work tonight so i dont think im the selfish one here.
but sitting in my cats room while they eat their dinner i can hear her storm about and slam doors because shes so mad at me but i dont understand am i in the wrong here?
also literally as i am writing this she comes out and goes "tell me when youve finished dinner so i can let the cats out. and DONT leave it too late" while my food is literally cooking as we fucking speak jfc.
i have a bit of a diary where i write when mum is mad at me because if i mention to her that she upset me it never goes well so i write it down to safely let those feelings out and as i was writing this one i just needed some clarity i really cant fathom any reason for her to be mad except egocentrism so perhaps an unbias outsider can shed light?
What are these acronyms?

Under the Stars
𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜: lee minho x gn!reader 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙧𝙚: angst. like. so much. but they make up at the end (kinda) so its okay. 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩: 900+ 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨: cursing. angst. im kinda projecting here but oh well. minhos kind of a idiot. jisung makes an appearance (very brief, but needa a warning in itself) 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙮: you try to reconnect with minho after an argument you guys had. but what happens when he just ghosts you out of nowhere?
Tumblr media
A/N: its been.. forever since ive wrote. hello? im sorry it took me so long. ive been in a horrific writers block, but in honor of skz's new comeback and collision having me on a chokehold, you get this. this song is heavily inspired by collision, as its my favorite from the album. this was rushed and is probably really bad, but i kinda liked how it turned out. its also not edited so sorry for any mistakes. anyway stream 5 star and have a good day/night loves!! <3
“Minho..?” You wait for a split second, expecting a response. But you quickly realize it’s a voicemail again. “It’s… It’s [Y/N]. I know we left off on the wrong foot. The… very wrong foot. I just… needed space. And a lot of it. What you had said back there was hurtful, but I’m willing to forgive you, Minho. You just have to pick up. That’s all you have to do,” your breath hitches, you let out a sigh, trying not to cry. “I… really miss you, Minho. I miss everything about you..” a sob can be heard over the phone. “J-Just call me back… o-or text me back. Goodbye, Minho.” With that, you hung up the phone. Waiting for him to listen to the voice message.
And the voice message he heard. He heard all of the ones you left. It was eating him alive. The boys did their best to reconnect you two, but Minho refused. Many. Many times. “Jisung, you know I just… I don’t deserve them after what I said-” “Dude, you realize they’re willing to forgive you… right?” Jisung adds, “Just… call them back. Once. Explain what went through your head.” At that, Minho rolls his eyes. “So what, ‘Hey, [Y/N]. I’m sorry for calling you a clingy asshole and someone who disrespected my boundaries for their own pleasure because-’ you get the point, Jisung.”  “But you didn’t mean it… did you?” Jisung asks. “No of course not!” he explains. “Problem solved! See? I’m so good at relationship advice.”
--------------
That was two months ago. Two. Long. Months. It affected Minho a lot. He almost called you one day, but decided against it. His insecurities finally eat him up. He had to do something before it got worse. He was a fucking idiot and he knew it. You kept leaving voice messages for him, and then, it hit him.
You really did want to talk to him.
It took him two months of voice messages piling up, waiting for the day you called him baby again. Like you always did. He missed your voice. And not over the phone. He breathes in deeply as he dials your number. Waiting for you to pick up. 
Except… you never did. Now it’s time for Minho to leave the voice messages. “[Y/N]... I’m such a fucking idiot-” He laughs at himself. “I… was too scared to call. Thinking you didn’t want to talk to me ever again. I thought all of these voice messages were stupid fucking pranks. That you were… fucking with me. I was stupid to call you what I did. I know you were just worrying about me and I’m.. really fucking sorry. I’m sorry it took me so long, but please… I want to try again. I’ve been going insane without you.” he sniffles slightly, not really wanting to have a heart to heart over the phone. “Can… Can you meet me at our star gazing spot..? We can talk it out under the stars.”
--------------
Minho waits under your tree. Our tree, you called it. He doesn’t want to taint it as much as hes already tainting it. He’s been there for a good while now. Maybe you didn’t get his message. Had you blocked him? Maybe you chose to ignore it. His thoughts are cut off by a soft “M-Minho…?” He whips around to the sound to see you behind the tree. You smile widely at him, but it's a sad smile. He smiles back the same smile. “Hi…”
You don’t give him enough to talk as you wrap your arms around him, sobbing into his shoulder. “D-Don’t you… ever. fucking ghost me again-” He rubs your back as you cry onto his shoulder. “I-... I won’t. I’m sorry, love.” He realized what he said, ready to apologize, when he hears you giggle. “I missed that… I missed you, Minho.” you say, calming down as he rubs your back. “I missed you too…”
You let go of him, sitting in front of him. “I’m glad you finally decided to come out. I’ve… I’ve been here ever since the break. I come here everyday.” you confess. Minho stares at you wide eyed, blinking a couple of times. “Really? So I could’ve just gone here and you would’ve been here?” You nod your head. “God, I’m such an idiot.” he shakes his head in disbelief. “It’s okay, baby. We all have those moments-” His head perks up at that. “God how long I’ve waited for you to call me that… but I don’t deserve it. Not yet.” he stands up. “M-Min… Don’t leave-”
He never planned on leaving. “[Y/N]. I’m so sorry-... I should’ve never said anything I said that night. I didn’t mean a word of it. I was just so fucking stressed and I took it out on the first thing that tipped me over the edge. And… I guess it was you. I don’t really remember what you did, but I’m just…” he holds your hands in his, as he stares at you in the eyes. “I’m so. Fucking sorry. I don’t want to… I don’t want to be the one to destroy our relationship. I-... I can’t. I’d feel like shit if I truly did. Let me make it up to you… Let me start fresh, okay?” He stares at you, hoping you would take his apology. 
“I would love that, Minho.”

favourite things: 2023 edition
last year i made one of these and i thought it'd be fun to make another one. i have a notion spreadsheet with all the media i watch/read/play throughout the year (not just things that came out this year!) and i give them ratings. these are the highs (and some of the lows) of 2023 (not in order).
Games
Tunic - such a great and beautiful game that i do not want to spoil. seriously, play it. if you like zelda, exploration, solving puzzles, and cute little foxes, then it's a must
Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - what can i say, i love a zelda
Portal 2 - just an even more excellent sequel to an excellent game
TV
Alice in Borderland - i didn't know what to expect at first but it was excellent and highly addictive
Not Me - my introduction to thai BL (for better and also definitely for worse lol). anyway this show changed my brain chemistry. it has everything: gays, a twin switch situation, leftism, arson, rooftop kiss... you know
Bad Buddy - speaking of rooftop kisses...... if you know you know. anyway this is also a thai BL and it's still rotating in my brain. i rewatched it almost immediately, that's how good it was
The King's Affection - cheesy historical kdrama about a crown prince who is secretly a woman, with a swoon-worthy romance and political intrigue. this one's for the bisexuals (after all, the male love interest falls in love with the prince before he finds out it's a woman)
Vinland Saga - this anime fucking wrecked me. season 2 had me crying every single episode. thorfinn is my new child and i WILL name my future cat after him
The Devil Judge - a kdrama about a dystopian south korea with a fucked up justice system. anyway kang yohan character of all time. oh and also toxic homosexuality (affectionate)
Books
The Poppy War trilogy by R. F. Kuang - what an excellent series to get me back into fantasy series. it was not without faults, but i was hooked anyway
Babel by R. F. Kuang - i read this brick in 5 days straight. it's beautifully written and has such interesting things to say about language and colonialism. again, it has flaws but i wasn't bothered, i was obsessed with this book
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon - i didn't realise how much i missed high fantasy until i read this. it has lesbians, dragons, a bitter old homosexual, magic, and did i mention dragons and lesbians?
He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker Chan - the sequel to She Who Became the Sun, my favourite book of last year. this sequel fucking DELIVERED. i went insane about it multiple times. it's a must read
Graphic novels/manga
Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama - i started this manga 2 years ago, but since it's still ongoing and I've read new chapters this year, it counts for this year as well
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run by Hirohiko Araki - not finished with it yet but it is truly as good as everyone says it is
The Adventure Zone: The Eleventh Hour by the McElroys and Carey Pietsch - i know not everyone likes the taz comics, but i do, i think theyre great adaptations, and this one looked incredible
Movies
Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse - not as good as the first one, but still really good. beautifully animated and extremely entertaining
Bonus: the lowest of the low, titles that earned my 'sucked shit' rating
Theory of Love - amazing that out of the 3 thai BLs ive watched, 2 managed to make it on my favourites list, and one of them was some of the worst television i've ever seen
Where the Crawdads Sing - read the book for book club last year, we all hated it, and now we decided to watch the movie for a laugh. it also sucked

dosed b 0.275mg (iv) @ 7:40pm,, after 4mg kpin (sl) at 7:15pm
also LMAO I forgot that I didnt realize there was some ketamine in the syringe too when I dosed, completely unintentional result of switching syringes cuz the first one I used the needle was bent & I didn’t realize until after I filled it. I didn’t even know I still had ket. anyway idk the dose amount but it was enough for a quick k-hole(altho it doesn’t take much to k-hole thru that ROA)
anyway i was worried shooting b would make things worse if i had c diff so I wasn’t sure if I should do it so I dosed it smaller than usual (like not enough to nod/get high or anything) but it gave me complete relief from everything immediately. if itd been c diff I’d had have tons of abdominal pain afterward/continuously but i didn’t, so it ruled that out thannnk god
so it probably was the mag citrate yesterday + the linzess today + the food i ate the other day (im starting to wonder if i have IBS on top of crohns, irdk tho bc it could’ve just been crohns by itself in response to the food and the mag cit/linzess, bc ive been having acute oral/gum inflammation). think i rly needed just smth to slow my guts down and give me pain relief for the intestinal spasms and the throat ache and the facial skin pain/sensitivity bc all of it at once was too much for my body to bear and causing a positive feedback loop of pain in every aspect
not totally ruling out mild wd but i am not as worried about that being the cause bc i didn’t have any runny nose or malaise or sweating which are usually the first indicators of that, or body aches or nausea or fever of any kind, plus I space my doses out pretty well to avoid wd altogether
the rly bad noise-related pain went away immediately too and Im 99% certain I was only experiencing that bc the amount pain/physical stress I was having.. too much of that will cause external stimuli to be unbearable and audio stimuli is the always the worst/first to hurt in those circumstances. i think the kpin definitely helped w that aspect as well (even tho it made me cry a lot for like 5 mins b4 dosing the b shot, but that was rly just like the emotional stress being released kind of thing if that makes sense)

reviewing spirit animatronics for 2023
i almost forgot again. but here we are
apparently the website doesnt display animatronics that are sold out so im trying to dig for them... this isnt a complete list im doin my best
anyway lets GOooooooo
Gourdo
Tumblr media
im gonna start with my favorite look at this silly little guy. something about this design is just incredibly endearing to me and the stringy guts look pretty good in motion too. hes cute and i like him. his description says he was a guy who kept scaring everybody all the time and one day he scared an old lady who turned out to be a witch so she turned him into a pumpkin. and now hes stuck like this bc he could not behave himself. i love gourdo i want him 10/10
Eternal Rest
Tumblr media
its a tombstone. theres a sad crying face and it turns into a skull face and screams at you. thats... thats it. it looks fine but its just really basic, this is doing nothing for me
3/10
Poor George
Tumblr media
this guy was at my local store for a while. hes pretty fun, he flips around and his face changes. i like his funky stripes. makeup design looks extremely art the clown which is just making me wish they had him instead
its at least an attempt at a unique design. but according to his description, the story here is he was just a nice regular clown who had a terrible accident but somehow survived. you can see his bloody torso when he turns. this isn't a zombie clown monster, this is a man who desperately needs medical assistance
also no explanation for why he has two faces. he doesn't appear to be intentionally meant to be conjoined twins or something so if hes supposed to just be a regular guy im not sure whats going on there
5/10
they also came out with another killer klowns animatronic this year too, hes BIG but i dont have much to say about that one other than it looks good glad to see the klown rep increasing
i guess ill also mention here that they have a mars attacks alien figure now too, which doesn't really do much, it just moves its head a little but the lighting is cool and the design looks really good and seeing it inspired me to go watch the movie, so. shrugs. i like him
Heckles the Clown
Tumblr media
here we have i think the first Sad Clown spirit animatronic? i cant think of any others ive seen. he kind of has creepy uncle energy but isn't really scary. hes just sad. he is a pathetic shell of a man weakly trying to sell his balloons and i just kind of feel bad for him. i did not notice in the store that his balloon actually has a light-up face in it which is cool. apparently according to his description hes actually using poison gas in his balloons which is a neat idea but is extremely unclear from the animatronic itself, i never would've known that if i hadn't read the description, so,
his face sculpt looks pretty good though. hes a pretty well designed figure i just think his whole deal is unclear and just makes me feel bad for him. help this man
6/10
Stilts
Tumblr media
i do love a scary clown but all of these are starting to look pretty much the same to me. the colors are visually striking (i like the use of the blue accents especially) and i like the bloody bowling pins but at this point it's just kinda like, yep, that's another tall spooky clown. great for all your tall spooky clown needs but its not really that memorable. 4/10
Death Stalker
Tumblr media
THIS thing however, looks sick as FUCK and i really want to see it in person. i dont know what the fuck that is. i love it. it breathes smoke and has way too many teeth. the description offhand mentions it lives behind an abandoned doll factory for no apparent reason. i love this thing 11/10
i think it might be built from the same body structure as their krampus figure that i also really liked
The Black Heart
Tumblr media
ok i dont know about anyone else but i just find this one extremely confusing all around
he gives off protective dom skeleton boyfriend vibes. in the store i saw this and figured the woman was his victim and hes showing us his kill to threaten us, but it also looks like he's protecting her, so i didn't really get what was going on. the description says she tried to do some weird ritual ive never heard of where you lay in a grave and your true love will arrive to kiss you and wake you up snow white style at midnight, but instead she ended up with this guy as her "master" but it also refers to him as her "partner"
Tumblr media
"the fuck did you just say about my wife"
so i guess they have some kind of bdsm relationship going on. which, y'know, if she's into that, id say good for her, but she doesn't move at all, she appears to be dead or unconscious. she also looks like she's emerging from his waist or something bc like, i guess they made her skirt the same color to hide that she's there until he reveals her, but i didnt even realize she had a lower body at all,
anyway the design is really confusing to look at and i don't really understand what their whole deal is. the faces look really good though. 5/10
Leatherface
Tumblr media
leatherface in the HOUSE!!! i dont really have a lot to say here other than i think he looks great and i want you all to see him. 7/10
Darling Dolly
Tumblr media
i fucking love this thing look at that. salad fingers doll monstrosity what the fuck is going on here. there was one in our store very briefly but it wasn't working and disappeared pretty quickly which just made it even weirder. this has a fantastic "what the FUCK IS THAT" factor and i just wish it had better functionality bc i was really excited to find out what it does and it turns out it pretty much just screams at you. i feel like a slower, creeping movement with spidery fingers and whispering sounds would have been more effective. its definitely scary though. i want more wild designs like this i love this thing
the backstory is... a little girl dug up a cursed doll in the yard and her mother tried to bury it back but got struck by lightning and became nightmareishly fused together with the evil doll which just. doesn't make sense to me i feel like trying to create an explanation for this figure is actively a detriment to it i like it better just as a Horrible Inexplicable Demon
9/10 could have been executed better but great design
The Cauldroness
Tumblr media
pretty much just your standard witch. i like the way she's posed, this figure is more interesting to look at than a lot of the standing ones. the movement in her hands looks pretty good. i like her face. she also looks like salad fingers. maybe im just seeing it bc im trying so so hard to manifest him into existence even though i know they'll never make one sfjkg
anyway this is simple but i think it works well, 5/10
Dagger Mike
Tumblr media
look at this ridiculous little gremlin. his name's dagger mike. hes got knives. his torso makes no sense. i love you dagger mike 6/10 hes not good but he makes me laugh and i like him
i do like the vintage clown look here though. i just think his body looks stupid and his existence is very funny to me in a way i cant articulate
Floating Spirit
Tumblr media
its a ghost. it goes ooooo. 10/10

Second years when you get a bad haircut
TW/CW: crack, GN!Reader, headcanons
extra; ive been crying over mine for two days there's no reason my hairdresser fucked uo such a sinple style bro crying emoji and i will also find any excuse to write about the octotrio anyway i hope u enjoy!!
Tumblr media
You wanted to change up your current hairstyle, it was simple really– just a little off what you already had. But no! The hairdresser just had to find some way to fuck the entire thing up. You really thought that everything would be different, especially in another universe; but at this point you can't tell if you aren't being clear enough, or it’s truly in the veins of a hairdresser to do everything wrong. Your eyes are puffy from crying all night but time isn’t going to stop for you. You wear a hoodie over your uniform, as well as a hat underneath– you were not going to take any chances, especially being in a school full of rowdy boys who know no limits.
Riddle Rosehearts
Homeboy quite literally does not give a fuck, or so it seems.
Riddle is sheltered, and has not seen the many of the wonders of the world. So seeing your hair in such an eyesore of a state– he had to take 5.
But of course he is a gentleman and definitely isn’t one to disregard your feelings.
Need a better coverup in place of your hat? He has a shitload and will not hesitate to spend money if necessary.
“It’s not as bad as you think I prom- What do you mean my face is red!?”
Ruggie Bucchi
He’s seen worse, from where he’s from.
A little bad haircut won’t change how he sees you anyway, even if he might be teasing about it and snicker while looking at you  from time to time.
It’s all in good fun though… unless you’re sensitive, but he can’t promise he’ll put a complete stop to it! He just wants to lighten the mood, I promise.
Hair grows back eventually, right? Don’t let one shitty haircut ruin your entire week.
“...Anyway have I told you about that one time where I was getting chased by stallholders and accidentally ripped a chunk of my hair off? Yeah, had a bald spot for months.”
Azul Ashengrotto
Wanna sign your life away to him?
Is what he’s implying when he says that “he makes a mean hairstylist.”
Well unless he’s feeling nice, he might just offer to cover your absences from school and write notes for what you missed out on.
But there’s only a slim chance that he will not be asking for payment after this whole phase passes.
Azul will try to reassure you, though he isn’t the best at it.
“It’s… unique..! Some people would love your hairstyle. Eh- to have? Well…”
Floyd Leech
He knows no mercy.
He is going to rip your hood off or either snatch your hat and put it in highest corners he knows you won't be able to reach.
However, even if you do, by chance, get it back, your joy will only be short lived. He can easily sneak up on someone and running away will be no big deal with those long legs of his.  
One upside to this, is that he doesn’t bother to snap any shots of your very vulnerable state; reason being that he enjoys watching the raw, sheer terror on your face whenever you sense his presence nearby. 
As sadistic and twisted– in its own way– as it is, seeing his blinding smile and hearing his boyish laugh can’t help but make you smile and have fun alongside him. 
So maybe the bad haircut isn’t that bad after all.
“Shrimpy! Catch me if you can… If you feel like touring the whole school of your fresh cut, heheh!”
Jade Leech
He’s trying his best to reassure you that you’re being much too harsh on yourself, I promise… Even if that means he’s trying his best to bite back a grin whenever you bring it up.
It’s not that you look bad, it’s just the way that you’re so obsessed with it reminds him of him when he was younger– once he got a bad haircut and cried about it for a week.
He does try to steer your attention away from the bad haircut to the best of his abilities; perhaps it’s the feeling of dejavu that he wants nothing more than to protect you from self doubt.
You’re his wittle bittwle precious gemstone and will make sure that you never hear of a bad haircut ever again!
“It’s alright Dear, I promise. I’ll take you to a much better, extravagant salon. Unless you are able to put your trust in my unrefined talent? Fufufu…”
Kalim Al-Asim
In all honesty, he doesn’t see an issue with it. He just can’t understand why you think it’s so horrible.
But if you really insist and won’t shut up about it, he’ll snag this opportunity to introduce you some of the most glamorous or simple headpieces back from his hometown!
He has everything to cater to your wants and needs, and you best expect that he milk every opportunity, especially for his beloved.
Even if it means giving Jamil more work to prevent him from overspending… but hey! It's the thought that counts
“Hey hey! Look at this, I think it's really gonna help to accentuate your features! Of course it’ll cover your hair… :(“ 
Jamil Viper
He doesn’t really care, or is let alone even free enough to notice.
But if you make enough noise about it, he might not even bat an eye towards it. 
He assures you that you look fine, and might even place a chaste kiss on your cheek to get you to shut up if you whine too much about it.
Maybe he’ll try to fix it, maybe he won’t, perhaps he’ll even spare you a glance for a good heart chuckle every once in a while.
“Please stop making such a mes- FINE you have my attention.”
Silver
Does not care now, and I don't think he ever will.
Hair will grow back, but if you really want, you could hide under his shirt or something…
He’s practically half asleep all the time, so your hair will be back to normal before he even knows it.
He’ll draw his sword to protect you from any potential teasing if you really dislike it, granted that he’s fully awake at the time.
“Just lie down for a bit, I don't like seeing a frown on such a pretty face.”

Uh oh it’s my gremlin ass in your inbox again, anyway I had a thot.
Raven!Stan and Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes by FOB
Specifically the line “I’d promise you anything for another shot at life”
Uhhhhhhh that is all queen ty for ur time (ily take care of urself you deserve all the happiness in the realm)
oh noooooooo riley in my ask box agaiiiiiiiiin how awful how horrible
sahdsadlkda AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
listen bitch!!!! i sprinted to answer this ask because it singlehandedly threw me into a fallout boy renaissance oh my god!
this is really long i went on a very crazy tangent and started badly describing a v dramatic v upsetting flashback u can all skip this lmao
raven!stan is soooooo disloyal order of the water buffaloes like okay "i'd promise you anything for another shot at life" is so AAAA like my son was robbed of everything i just! urGH! give my boy his life back!!!
also "detox just to retox"?????? is so real..."imperfect boys with their perfect boys // nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy" ISSSSSS SOOOOO CRIMSON DAWN CODED IM!!!!
also also ALSO "i'm half doomed and you're semi sweet" is so stan and kyle in every fucking universe gonna rip the skin off my face
okay...let me just...it's actually so funny that you sent me this about fallout boy because when i was developing a lot of ravenstan's backstory and gen rockstar stuff i religiously listened to 27 by fob.
if home is where the heart is then were all just fucked!!!! I WANT IT SO BAD I SHOOT THE SUNSHINE INTO MY VEINS I CANT REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS!!! my mind is a safe and if i keep it then we all get rich!!! DOING LINES OF DUST AND SWEAT OFF LAST NIGHTS STAGE JUST TO FEEL LIKE YOOOOOU!!! AAAAA
like raven is SO 27 by fob skhdlahd in this essay i will!
so this is weird lore backstory but bear with me, okay?
kenny and stan are close in all my fics which is like my favorite thing ever but they are SUPER CLOSE IN RM! ive said this like 5 bajillion times but i love them their dynamic its special and very dear to me ok
and i feel like they were really drunk one time at 18 just laying on the floor...and raven is just like "do you ever think about death?" which is hilarious because kenny is immortal so theyre just like "yeah...all the time" *drags their cigarette with a sad knowing smile :'((((*
and stans like "me too" *vodka shot* "do you ever think about when you're gonna die...like if you could choose" and kenny is like jfc rae bleak much but is probably like "idk dunno ill go when the universe gets bored of me...i could go anytime because i do whatever i want and live everyday like its my last....think of it like this: we're all stuck here and everyone's watching so you might as well give them a good show, right??? *long cigarette drag again*...but what about you?"
and raven just says "27." then explains that all the biggest rockstars and greatest musicians die at 27 and if he could choose he'd join the 27 club bc at least then his death would mean something. AAA IM
ok fuck suicide attempt tw AAAA I HATE IT HERE :/ </3
this is a lot im so sorry its dramatique af but also pls know if i write it as a flashback later i will be crying & throwing up the whole time
flash forward i think its like ravens 21st birthday and everyone is inside getting trashed on his birthday doing coke being degenerates breaking shit & d-list celebrity nobodies are flexing hard that they're at his big extravagant bday party aka the event of the year...but no one even knows hes Missing!!!!!!! NO! ONE! FUCKING!!!! CARES!!!!!!!!!
except kenny who just finds him on the roof of that big swanky building or even like the water generator so high up that its genuinely fucking terrifying and its really really bad like hes just on the edge like crying and laughing and swaying holding a big ass bottle of expensive champagne with his FACE on it slurring and singing happy birthday to himself and its the SADDEST most AWFUL sound in the world & uGH i want to cry my baby mY BABY!!!! MY!!!! BABY!!!!!!! :(((((
and kenny is PANICKING but theyre trying to be normal like theyre talking to someone with a hostage but the person holding the hostage is themselves WHICH IS SOOOOO UUUGH!!! and theyre like "raven raven i need you to get down...i hate my birthday too...you're having a bad night...just a bad night...its almost over ok its almost over baby...lets get out of here okay? but i need you to get DO--"
and hes just like "NO!!!! NO!!!!! you dont get it you dont FUCKING get it!!! it doesnt get better it gets fucking WORSE every day is bad bad bad BAD!!! it never stops IT NEVER ENDS!!!"
which is so sad and also ironic bc kenny is like "believe me I. Know." LIKE IMMORTAL KENNY LIVES THE WORST DAY OF THEIR LIFE EVERY DAY and is just like "but you Dont want to do this, trust me"
and raven is just like shaking and screaming snot and tears and champagne and eyeliner and blood in his mouth like "no i think i do I THINK I FUCKING DO!!!! you're the one who said if everyones watching might as well give them a good show right?! RIGHT?!"
FUuUuUUCK
and cups his hands over his lips swinging & shouting!!!!! WELL HEY!!! HEY EVERYONE HEY EVERYONE LOOK LOOOK LOOK!!!!! HEY TMZ EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT FOR THE LAST FKN TIME!!!
& its raining so he prolly almost slips its so...that man is not mentally or physically stable its SO FUCKING SCARY kennys heart is RACING like "take my hand!!! just take my HAND we can Talk about it!!! I LOVE YOU BRO! DO NOT LEAVE ME HERE I CANNOT DO THIS ALONE."
and ravens just like drinking and spiraling drinking spiraling, seriously wavering having a panic attack and a ptsd episode hysterical and fucking inconsolable backing away from kenny closer and closer to ledge like "i'm sorry i'm sorry IM SORRY i'm hideous i'm HIDEOUS everyone keeps looking at me EVERYONE KEEPS TOUCHING ME i cant do this anymore im sorry im not strong like you ken im not strong ive never been strong not like you!!! Not. Like You. im sorry IM SO SORRY let me go!!! LETMEGOLETMEGOLETMEFUCKINGGO—”
but kenny grabs his arm or leg RIGHT before he goes straight over the side JUST in time & is like "you CAN do this!!! you ARE strong i--"
.....and just says "27"
and ravenstan is like "h-huh?"
and kenny is like "you said you wanted to die at 27. like kurt cobain, right??!! so DIE at 27, okay, raven? die at TWENTY FUCKING SEVEN for all i FUCKING CARE but give me six more years!!!! give me six more years and then when you're twenty seven you can decide whether you want to live or die, but until then you owe me SIX. FUCKING. YEARS, you son of a bitch!!! and if you stay ill stay if you go ill go. your life is my life. a life for a life. now…do we have a deal?"
and ravens like "kenny, i-i dont" and theyre like grim reaper mode like "DO. WE. HAVE. A. DEAL?" and stan u know makes th deal with the devil climbs down they hug and cry a lot its beautiful its awful AAA
so ravens stuck here...is he happy about it....no....but hes here 4 kenny...( also for jimmy and the ex cd guitarist those are his boys ) but thats not gonna stop him from getting extremely close 2 dying and destroying his body w/ alcohol...thats his loophole....FML dude :/
TADA!!! ahdslkhda
also: mun fun fact....i was ( still am ) and MASSIVE infinity on high GIRLIE!!!!! like if i even hear hum hallelujah or bang on the doldrums i will SHAKE SOME ASS the white mom chokehold that album has on me is RIDICULOUS
me: falling to my knees in the grocery store when i accidentally hit shuffle on my spotify open mouth sobbing and screaming
IIIII CAST A SPELL OVER THE WESTTT TO MAKE YOU THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK OF MEEEEEE THE SAAAAME WAY I THINK OF YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUU
oh my god i could go on and on
( also golden is very ravenstan coded just about him being a celebrity trying to make everyone happy but also his music being controversial and moms pulling their kids away from him like he is evil and because hes just a like a bad role model and a gnarly alcoholc CRYING....
but its also jersey!kyle because he was so full of promise and had so much potential but than also got serious ptsd and went kind of insane because of stan "dying" and just became this basketcase freakshow that everyone is scared is going to snap at any second and is this absolutely fucking menace and AAAAA )

I.S.B.T.P.K.F.T.S moments (chapter 4- Part 1)
Fic link written by @tavtarnish. Please go check it out. It is fantastic!
if anyone was invested in this at all, I sincerely apologize for not updating this for so long, I don't really have a reason other than I just got lazy. anyway- ONWARDS!!!
chapter 3 || Chapter 5
The opening of the chapter
The way it definitely implied that soap has undoubtedly been at it for a while. Long enough to settle into a routine. It also shows his frustration really well. The strength that he's hitting, and they way his mind still continues to wonder
Remembering hearing his mother call him angrily from the house
I feel like this is such a core memory for me. Also idk if anyone else had the experience where their parents kicked them out of the house during the summer and then got mad when they didn't make it back in time for dinner. Like I'm sorry?? All you said was go outside, and didn't give me a time to be back? Kinda got off topic here, the point was: core memory unlocked
Little john trying not to make the punishment worse by being gentle with the the door and stuff
I honestly have nothing to say at this point, it's just super relatable to me
Idk if ive said this before but his sisters' names
I just think they're lovely
They way he feels guilt even as a child for not being there to redirect or avoid completely his mother's anger
This makes me so sad :( bb it's not ur fault
The casset that he and his sister were fighting about just days earlier as an apology!!!!!
This is exactly how it is to have siblings, like you'll be at eachother's throats and then something happens and then it's like it never happened. Also never once has a verbal apology been as affective as an action
Also being able to feel the anger flowing off his mother... like that's when you know you're in some deep shit
The whole come home by the time the street lights come on
Is accurate. Relatable. Especially getting back late because fo the changing season...
The disappointment in his mother's voice
That one hurted just a lil bit bc disappointment is always just that much worse than anger isn't it??
And he understands her frustration
That just makes it all the worse, right? I mean he just wanted some more time to have fun with his friends, but that left his mother swamped with everything else. It's really a lose lose situation :/
Not bringing up his father "after the last time"
Knowing when to pick his battles. But also what happened last time?? I can only assume lots of yelling and crying and and just :(
The following quiet
And it's like nobody except you can feel the tension still in the air, and it's like the smallest thing could set everything off again
Im ignoring something for right now I will circle back to it in a moment. But lemme just say his father?
I'm not liking the vibes I get from him... there I said it. I don't like him
His mother brushing over his hair and the back of his head
Look I know I've been making it seem like I think mary is a bad mom, but she really isn't. She's just overworked and doing her best. And john understands that but he also needs to be able to be a kid. And mary needs help around the house bc there is too much to do and only one of her
Ok back to the thing I ignored. The way he wishes for her to just get angry
I think maybe it's bc when people are angry it's easy to deal with, either you argue back, stay quiet, or say/do whay they want you to right? But with the disappointment it's almost the same response just with no visable reason for it. It's harder to deal with because we as people are not taught how to fix it other than to "do better next time" but how does that fix what happened now?
I also want to pint out the bolded part
Bc like the yelling is so much easier to deal with than the calm voice. Maybe it's bc you can still feel the pent up tenson that might have normally been released with the yelling
Also he wonders if it makes him a bad son
And I think, maybe normally people don't wish for that, but it doesn't make him a bad son. Like I understand so completely how he feels, and it's so real that it's devastating. And it doesn't make him a bad son. And I know that because maybe for him it's just easier for him to deal with physical problems than it is for him to deal with whatever this is.
And then the last line of the flashback
God!! I just know he was beating himself up after that. I do. I just know. And it's the perfect segue back into the present moment.
Getting so lost hin his head that he forgets he's even really doing anything
I guess forget isn't really the right word. Like he knew enough to keep doing it, but kinda just tuned everything else out.
The way it all just bubbles up
The lights just too loud, the air hot and heavy with anger and frustration. And he's still aped up despite all the energy he spent. And he tried, he really does try to keep himself composed. But the irritation makes his bones buzz, and he just needs to do something, anything to get it out. And he's so worked up that he doesn't even realize he split his knuckles until he looked at them.
And then it keeps building
It's too much, all of it. The steaming anger, the loudness of the lights, the way his hair remains untamed despite his efforts
Focusing on his hair again, idc what anyone says, his hair is actually such an important part of him. So his hair getting in the way, in his face, even after he tries to rake it out of the way... maybe kinda like how he's having trouble with his emotional regulation? It's kinda like his emotions are clouding his rational thinking, which is a perfect lead to my next point.
Where it all finally boils over
He shouldn't, he knows he shouldn't. But the useless buzzing is still in his bones and flowing through his veins. And he just has to do something or he might just brun from the inside out.
And then the immediate regret
"If it isn't the consequences of my own actions" for real though this is actually an important part. Because sometimes even if it's a personal issue you have to choose the lesser of two evils, even if you don't know you even have options. Also I think the is very much foreshadowing what will happen if he doesn't properly acknowledge the problem, and also shows what it is doing to him in a physical manifestation.
Also perhaps symbolism of not actually vomiting... because ya boy is emotional constipated
Ok im gonna end this here for now, because if this sits im my drafts any longer it'll never get posted. Also sorry if this isn't as indepth as the other parts, I'm doing all of this on my phone.

November reading wrapup
hmmm pretty good month for quantity but hit or miss for quality, i either loved or hated almost all of these. 💆🏻‍♀️
1. the lover, marguerite duras — tumblr girl classic, ur fav web weaving posts almost definitely feature a snippet of this. like woah 😭 ok very timeless very vivid and real. I did cry.
2. icebreaker, hannah grace — this is EMBARASSINGGGGGG i was going to a hockey game and was like woah let me get into this mindset... into this world… THIS BOOK WAS MISLEADING i thought itd be equal parts hockey world ice skater world equal parts romance and no.. it was nothing of the sort... this was just tooooo porny like WAY too much, even for me. AND I USED TO WRITE SM- *gunshot*
3. throne of glass, sarah j mass — does anyone have any good fantasy series recs that arent this?? like this is what years without winds of winter will do to a woman. im settling for this subpar garbage. but i am gonna keep reading it bc what else do i have, george???
4. mickey7, edward ashton — been on my tbr since rob pattinson was announced to be the lead in this in the bong joon-ho movie… i feel like with the creatives behind it thisll end up being one of those rare bones and all situations where the adaptation is wayyyyy better than the book. but idk. book itself was whatever good concept but didnt even really go anywhere. i thought that i had guessed a twist lie 3 quarters of the way thru but there was no twist literally nothing happened. therefore MID
5. blood meridian, cormac mccarthy — the only other time i had like a visceral tummy churning reaction to a book like this was when i read theons chapters in a dance with dragons 😭😭😭 anyway i like the lack of quotation marks and i also find it easier to write without them SHOOT ME
6. death valley, melissa broder — im really endeared to broder as a writer because i feel like she can only do one thing really well and shes very self aware of that.. which i respect.. also what the protag is going thru here at the start of the book is something ive also gone thru and it felt very strangely accurate and bizarre as a real person reading about a fake person going thru it. and literally within the book the protag references how writers poorly portray their characters accurately 'going thru it' (i keep saying going thru it bcoz im trying not to spoil even tho no ones gonna read my recs ALTHO this one deserves to be read i think) so that was cray and meta but umm what im trying to say is.. melissa i wanted to go to ur book signing i literally had my day cleared in my planner for u. why did u have to cancel the event.
7. indelicacy, amina cain — public announcement i guess but hey girl @noumenongirl i think you would love this one i dont know why but the whole time i was reading i was just like woah she’d love this😭 i liked it a lot
8. the penelopiad, margaret atwood — this is what circe by madeline miller wanted and tried to be but failed tremendously at.....
9. crown of midnight, sarah j mass — was better than throne of glass in the beginning actually but then they halfway thru lost me again..
10. the assassins blade, sarah j mass — im just hate reading at this point like i dont have anything else to do. Celaena youll never be daenerys girl like stop
11. elvis and me, priscilla beaulieu presley — ohhhh…. :,(((( my fav celeb memoir yet i think.....
+ bonus — im gonna add this to my december list but im like 75% of the way with fourth wing rn, good fawking heavens i wishthat grrm could trademark copyright the concept of dragons like i dont think anyone should be allowed to write about DRAGONS only him. like mini spoilers for fourth wing SORRY but WHY DO THE DRAGONS SPEAK ENGLISH, WHY DO THEY EVEN SPEAK AT ALL....cringe. but better than throne of glass at least😭 but it doesnt take much to be better than throne of glass to be fair. OK reading wrapup over.

Personal rant, CW for talks of blood and medical stuff
The past 5 days have really been so much for me and it... seriously doesn't feel like only 5 days at all with how much has gone on
On Wednesday evening I got home from work feeling extremely weak after telling my QPP repeatedly that I don't feel good, and after I was no longer able to hold my head up or open my eyes without extreme effort my roommate took me to the emergency room where we waited 9ish hours for me to even be taken to a bed and then one or two more to be seen
When they did get there, they said they needed to take blood, give me an IV, do chest x-rays, and a few other tests (I think they tested me for a stroke too) because clearly a lot was wrong
The nurse tried to put the IV in my left arm and then my hand, failing both times because she couldn't find a vein. She then called over a second nurse, who said since I had already been poked twice, she wasn't going to poke me unless she was sure she had one
She left without poking me.
She called over a doctor to come with a whole ass ultrasound setup to use that to find a vein, and they only found a suitable one in my upper right arm, meaning I had to hold it up at an uncomfortable angle the entire time and because of where it was, it also hurt the entire time (only a little, but still)
They also interrupted it in the middle to take more blood ("well that can't be good")
Also, while they were putting the IV in, I remember them struggling to reach the vein, and the pain from them wiggling it around trying to reach my difficult ass vein, and then hearing "how attached are you to this sweatshirt?"
I had... bled all over it (fortunately they stopped the bleeding pretty fast, very different from my last experience with an IV where I nearly bled out on the hospital floor)
Anyway, after wanting to cry from how uncomfortable the whole experience was but eventually managing to sleep through the last half hour of it, they told me about my bloodwork, and a lot is wrong! Some of the things that have always been wrong with me, and some new things, like low thyroid and low potassium, low sodium etc
They scheduled me for a follow-up appointment in a week and I leave, it is now Thursday morning
I picked up the meds they prescribed me and got home around noon, exhausted from not having slept all night, and napped
Only to wake up to a terrible toothache out nowhere, that at its worst was so bad I couldn't lift a finger
I ran to the dentist but they were closing by the time I got there and told me to come back the next morning
I did, and they said I need an emergency root canal, but that it would be hard to find any endodontists who take my insurance, which... yeah, it proved to be impossible
So now, today, I'm scheduled for the root canal, and I have to pay for the whole $1500 out of pocket
Which I haven't reached, but... I'll have to see what I can manage now
Also, through all of this, my workplace is telling me it's "unacceptable" not to show up to work because they're short-staffed. As if I wasn't stuck in the fucking hospital. I worried about getting fired, because I need that money to pay for the fucking root canal and I hadn't even received my first paycheck, so I went in to work yesterday, but wasn't able to finish a full day of work because I felt like Shit
They still told me they need a doctor's note specifically stating that I can't work for x number of days (even though I gave them my emergency room discharge papers to prove I was unwell) before they could believe that I was actually not feeling well enough to work
So I guess I'm going to ask the fucking endodontist for one
And this cuts into my funds for my trip to take the JLPT and some other things in June, which I also really need so I can get a better job. It is absolutely necessary that I take this trip, but I'll no longer have the money for it yet, and travel costs only go up as you get closer to the date of, so lol.
Anyway. It has not even been 5 full days since I first went to the ER. I need a fucking break.

sobriety reflection:
ive been completely sober for 4 months (make it 5 months if u dont count my brief christmas meltdown) though its been over a full year now since i realized that i needed to make a real change in my life. i stopped drinking for about a month before finally getting a job. at first I was able to go 2 or so months sober at a time before caving in, but there were scary periods where id be unable to stop for a month or so. sometimes id take shots before my shift, and a few times I've drank a full-size 700mL bottle of vodka in a span of 24hrs.
After binge drinking until i reached my absolute limit, I'd eventually get so hungover that i couldn't keep anything down and i wasn't able to slowly wean myself off of the alcohol. I'd suddenly stop drinking, eating, and sleeping, and to pass the time all i could do was pace around my little bedroom or throw up. nobody in my family knew how much i drank so i couldn't risk going downstairs, the tv was way too loud and bright, and i guess I'm simply unable to sit still when I'm not feeling well so I couldnt even sleep it off. when it got unbearable id attempt to meditate. that was probably the only thing that brought me any sort of peace.
My time drinking was spent bumming around alone, feeling depressed and extremely horny. when i was hungover I'd voice chat my (long distance) gf on fb messenger about how miserable i was, and how much i just wanted to die. then when i was feeling better id be unable to even look at our previous convo bc of the extreme guilt i felt. i cant imagine seeing someone i love going through such hell. having only me to bring them solace, yet not being able to help at all. It made me hate myself, which made me drink.
I went through another withdrawal phase and became aware that it was getting harder every time i tried sobering up. It really felt like I was on my deathbed, and I called everyone I could to try to get some sort of outpatient help, but they refused unless i did a month inpatient, and again my family didn't know. I was alone in this, very adamant about not going to AA. I was scared I'd run into someone I know and I heard it's not very effective for young alcoholics anyway. I drank on Christmas Eve a month later and threw up at grandma's on Christmas day. That was when I realized I had a choice to tell someone. That I had no excuse not to tell someone. So I called my sister in and I sat naked on the floor crying as i explained to her what was happening. We all left and she brought me to walgreens to get some Tums, promising not to tell anyone and offering me to stay at her place. which I declined lol fuck that
4 months later and i still get cravings often. i can stop myself from drinking now by reminding myself that tomorrow is a busy day at work, and by imagining it going down my throat. Now when so much as think about drinking I taste vomit.
The other day I almost snuck into my moms room for a shot before work, but stopped myself. I make $19/hr plus overtime, and I know that if i lose this job I won't be able to score one with matching pay. ive been practicing being kind to myself.
Lately I've been bumming again. sometimes life doesn't feel much different from how it did at my lowest– aside from feeling less nauseous now. i guess that's a start to bettering myself though.

sorry if i have told this story before but i will think about it until the day i Die 
anyways after my car accident i fucking Super Broke my femur and shortly after i woke up and could move my arm (had to fucking cut and pull me out of the car) i realized i broke my left collarbone. EMTs i told believed me and showed me car. i could very obviously feel where it was broken. touching it and having me move slightly would reveal it was in fact: broken exactly where i said it was.
anyways i get back. by this point they know i have a concussion, giant bump on my head, and my femur is twisted at such an odd angle its impossible to tell its not broken. i have an IV with morphine ive had since i basically woke up an EMT hooked up. i have to get x-rays taken laying down bc i cant stand or rly sit up to take them properly. my broken collarbone doesnt rly show. they need to get me into a full body scan anyways 
i am moved into the trauma unit CT scan. tech there tells me to lift my arms. i say my collarbone is broken. i look at her weird and say my collarbone is broken. she says “it doesnt look broken on the xrays” very annoyed. i start saying “well yeah i had to take it laying down because of my leg” bc despite being absolutely high and with a concussion bad enough they refused to put me under to set my leg (thanks. absolutely hated that more than anything) i still remembered x-rays taken laying down Arent Fucking Accurate. CT tech rolls her eyes and tells me again to raise my arms bc its probably “just dislocated”. why would that make raising it any better??? who knows but im bed bound and high on morphine and im not able to fight back or protest much. very carefully i raise them 
i get out. she tells me to put my arms down. i start very slowly doing it trying hard not to fuck with my broken bone too bad. she get annoyed and grabs my arm, SLAMMING it down. the sound of bone crunching and moving together happens and i scream bloody fucking murder. she drops her hands and jumps nearly a foot away from me shouting “i didnt touch [her]!” my collarbone is MUCH more obviously broken now under the skin. im crying bc it fucking hurt. not nearly as bad as the femur but jesus fucking christ. i am moved back into the trauma unit exam room. everyone in this trauma unit has heard me scream at the top of my lungs twice like im being murdered and im sure no one enjoyed it. my family has their third emotional breakdown 
CT scan comes back. its broken. it was broken when i said it was. of course it was fucking broken i was in a car accident if my collarbone WASNT broken that would be weirder. collarbones break super easily. 
the CT tech is luckily i cant remember faces well. bc if i saw her sober at the supermarket i would foam at the mouth in a rage before telling her to get a different fucking job because if a 19 year old with a concussion and high off morphine can seemingly remember x-rays better than you you fucking suck at your job. eat shit bitch
“oh but they have such a hard time in medicine, dont be rude to any medical staff--” no. idc if she was having a bad day or has long hours or is stressed. i nearly fucking died. this is the worst day of my fucking life. how does working a 13 hour shift really compare to being pulled out from under a car engine, stripped naked, and then having your fucking arm broken??? waiting an additional 5 seconds wasn’t going to get anyone killed. i hope someone breaks your fucking collarbone and tells you “its just dislocated get over it”. if you’re getting snippy and impatient with me in the service industry fine. if youre breaking my fucking arm further bc god forbid you wait 5 seconds eat shit and die.

hello nickle i am going to scream into ur imbox abt SAM
so. SAM. I was going back through my notes and realized i said it was supposed to be in first person, but I hate writing in first person for WIPS. easy to change, right? except most of if not all the subplot depend on being able to explore the characters' feelings and thoughts in extreme detail and i'm not sure if i'd be able to do that the way I want with a third person pov so I am screaming and crying over this
then there's the rotation of the pov. it goes in this order: morowa, harper, jisung, ivy, vale, and kaya. this is driving me mad because by following that order, some scenes end up told by the wrong person. i reviewed the outline three time and wrote out shorter outlines trying out different orders, but nothing works as well as the one i have currently even with its issues. i cant just say fuck all and not have an order, because the same thing will happen but worse and also everything will be disorganized and thats terrible. can u tell ive never had a rotating pov with so many characters. can u.
in short, i am considering quitting writing and running away to be a sheep keeper in iceland. good day!
ok, so, i am someone who wants to Solve Problems so i'm gonna give this a go
Problem one: you hate first person, but you want to be able to do deep and intense emotional exploration.
This is the harder problem, I think, but I've had it before. My advice is, genuinely, to consider the story as if you were still writing it in first person but then write it out in third person. You will need a very, very close camera; when you're writing, imagine the story literally through the character's eyes.
Everything they're thinking, everything they're sensing, what they would notice, how they would specifically interpret this situation. If you get those details in, you'll still have a very, very close POV, which should work. I also advice to cut out as many words as you can like "felt" and "thought", instead just stating what they're thinking and feeling, to make it feel closer, like a less extreme version of Deep POV.
Problem two: the revolving cast.
guess what! i just had this problem with GFS. And..... uh.... i said "fuck it" and abandoned order. sort of.
I created a general order by dividing my estimated chapter count and listing how many chapters I want each character to have at least or at most. I expect about 43 chapters in GFW1 and have 6 narrators; Rowan has no more than 3, I want Hope and Bea to both have 6, and I want Corey, Oliver, and Angel to have 8. That's 38, and gives me about 4 more chapters of wiggle room. Then I just make sure I won't be putting, say, 5 Hope chapters in a row.
I suggest you figure out roughly how much time you want each character to have, then go through your outline chapter-by-chapter and figure out which 1-3 characters would be best for each (they're in the right spot, they know something the others don't, their mindset will make it interesting, their emotional investment is different, their arc aligns with what's happening, whatever). Then you can go through again and assign each chapter one of those 1-3 characters, keeping in mind that you're not straying too far from your original rough plan of how much time each will get. It's different from a revolving in order cast but still gives the feeling of structure to how the POV works out.
anyway whoops i went into like. writing advice voice there. but yeah i hope your Troubles and Sorrows are perhaps quelled a bit? if not, tell me what's Not Working and i'll try to look at it from a different angle
(i say this because i think i might have a better chance of figuring it out than you, since you're so close to it and i'm further. kinda like how beta readers find plotholes that the writer missed)

top 5 books of all time?
oh this is a great question itll really reveal my bad taste. even as im typing this i cant decide if books of all time should mean like, books i think are constructed exceptionally well or like if i had to pack five books to be trapped on an island with etc etc etc or like one book from each of my favorite categories. anyway this is in no particular order but
the shining by stephen king - now listen this is my favorite book. like flat out. i carry a mass market paperback of this in my bag all the fucking time, lest i be caught bookless. incredibly sad
gideon the ninth by tamsyn muir - this is my second favorite book. or it may actually be tied for my favorite book. this list is not my favorite books in order this is a coincidence. i just think muir is doing something fucking exceptional in this series
the love hypothesis by ali hazelwood - HEAR ME OUT i KNOW this is reylo fanfiction. i know that. but its the most phenomenally readable romance novel ever. if i could read one romance novel over and over for the rest of my life this would be it. i know its reylo fanfiction i know
im thinking of ending things by iain reid - this is the scariest book ive ever read. i dont know what it did to me but i couldnt sleep after i read it, which is so rare for me
the year of magical thinking by joan didion - this is didions memoir about her husbands death and the year of her life following it. i know i say this and it doesnt make sense as a compliment but its extremely readable and an exceptional articulation of grief. someone ask me this question again so i can recommend crying in h mart with the same compliments
when do you tend to read most?
middle of the day or when im waiting for things, or have exhausted my other options. for example, i was at my boyfriends a couple nights ago and eventually came to terms with the fact that nothing interesting was happening on tumblr so i had to break out my emergency copy of the shining
how many books have you read this year?
so far its seventeen. i went crazy in january and february and read fourteen books and then have only read a book a month since. but i still have time in may to up my count so my reading journal for the month doesnt look quite so pathetic. heres all the books ive read this year so far
Tumblr media
ty!
