#when I’m trying my fucking. best

[tennessoui]

You have to have water fic titles because you're drowning in wips, huh?

:0

(On one hand i personally found this very funny and I did do a little huff huff of genuine laughter—)

(On the other hand I did do a little quick calculation, and over the 2 years I’ve been writing in this niche of a fandom, I’ve published 60 fanfictions on ao3 and of that 60, 48 have been completed, which leaves me with 12 work in progress fics on ao3—OUT OF 60!!!!!! 12 fics out of 60 that are works in progress !!!!!

12 !!!!! Out of!!!!! 60!!!!!!!!!!)

#asks #obikin #80% is a damn good range !!! #and again i laughed at this ask #and I feel like the asker didn’t mean any harm or anything but s joke #and I laughed at the joke!! #I appreciated it 🤭 #but also I just feel like we’re getting weirdly insane and obligatory about wips #when I’m trying my fucking. best #I’m moving this next week #like 5 of my teeth hurt and I’m terrified of the dentist because they’ll ask more for so much up front #so everytime i drink ice water or even hot #soup it sucks #and not to speak for #others but also I’m side their metaphorical teeth hurt #I’m sure their Life is Life-ing #and I want 48/60 to be enough #cause I want to publish another fic tomorrow (a wip even!!) and have it be 48/61 #and have everyone be like chill about it. cause it’s #something I’m excited to post #idk #this ask tore me 50/50 as you can see through the tags 3 people read etc etc

so unimpressed w men rn. it’s just so whatever

#guy who got my number at the boba place is the driest texter in history turns out! #i’m just kind of convinced that most guys r better in person but this is just boring #cianna from 6 months ago would be trying to carry the conversation rn but i just let it die bc im BORED #i am no longer doing the heavy lifting in the talking stage #i can do equal lifting. that i can do. but not the heavy lifting #if ur not there ur just not there #also a massive ick of mine is when guys fucking misspell and this one MISSPELLED #ur 21. get it together. #my best friend is also in a very ‘unimpressed w men’ phase rn #except im very capable of being single and doing my thing and she’s very. not. #she is back on hinge unfortunately. don’t think this will go well #meanwhile i’m in a very not looking for anything phase. if u say hi i’ll say hi back #but i’m not going out of my way to put in effort #fuck that #p

The first half of episode 5 is sooo funny because first you have the hospital scene where Way tries desperately to turn Babe off Charlie by telling him about the brother reveal and being like see 😡 he was lying to you all along 👿 meanwhile Babe is just like 🥺 so he wasn’t cheating on me 🥰 the wedding is back on 🥰 🥰 and Way literally rolls his eyes because fuck that backfired

And then the next scene is Babe acting all petty like ‘oh don’t you need to cook for your bRoThEr you know your BrOtHeR Jeff that BROther’ while his internal monologue is clearly just rail me rail me rail me as evidenced by the fact that he melted after one (1) single whine from Charlie and proceeded to try to fuck him right there on that couch while being like 5 minutes out of the hospital

All the while detective Kim is in the background being the only one with a brain cell since everyone else decided to just lob accusations at Jeff before checking the fucking security footage that apparently everyone and their mother has access to

#pit babe the series #still on my Kim mvp agenda #he was fully within his rights to say fuck this shit I’m out #but he didn’t #because Kim is the best #pavel phoom #pooh krittin #kim minsu #yes I know that way accusing Jeff was just him trying to manipulate things in his favor again #but still the fact that their first instinct was not to CHECK THE FUCKING CCTV #when they were all wondering who fucked with the car #Alan please you’re supposed to be the adult #Gumpa would never do this 😤

#But like fr #you know when you have your regular family #And then there’s the distant “wealthy” side of the family #and they’re literally all weirdos and assholes #one of my older cousins had a baby shower #and they’re from that side of the family (she’s ok though) so of course they invited them #And after being stared down by one of my second(?) aunts bc recently word got out that I have a girlfriend (wow holy shit I’m a butch!) #I was talking to one of my normal cousins about my car and how I plan on getting new seats for it #It has really old leather-y seats and I wanna get the cushy fabric kind #and she just pops into the conversation and says “why don’t you just get a new car? The one you have is so ugly <3” #like what #i have a vw beetle and I actually love it so fuck you (also I don’t have that kind of money to get a new car but shh) #my cousin and I exchanged that “uhhmmm😬” look with each other lol #awkward #But I just say “oh yeah I’ll think about it :)” #While I internally try to explode her with my mind #But anyway #rey rambles #meme #dumb shit #memes #funny #relatable memes #funny memes #lol #best memes #lmao #tumblr memes #twitter memes #dank memes

“I have the right to be an asshole”

Well. You do but you could also just try…not to be?

#kayla rants #guess what this is about 🙃 #idk I just find that attitude so baffling #I’m much happier when I try my damn hardest to see the best in people #and I am not saying that’s easy cause it’s actually really fucking hard sometimes #and I’m certainly not perfect (and I’m still learning!) #but it’s worth it

Do you understand how impeccable the writing has to be for me to go feral over a canon m/f pairing??? Like it’s one thing for me to occasionally ship a m/f pairing that are never canon who I enjoy the potential unexplored dynamic for, but it’s so rare that I actually like canon m/f pairings, it’s basically the highest praise a writer can receive from me if I’m losing it over one

#I have a little theory that the reason why canon m/f ship dynamics in mainstream media are so lame is because they don’t have to try #to convince people of the couple being perfect together. they’ll just say Man? Woman? meant to be #like in the vast majority of canon mcu relationships where they’re just kinda…there??? #so I’m usually ambivalent at best to canon m/f pairings because they’re just pretty bland and not as angsty as fanon ships (of any type) #so for me to be going crazy clawing at my skin and screaming over m/f couples that’s when you know the writing fucking slaps #this is about dark disciple and asajj ventress/quinlan vos. by the way #fandom stuff #ships #quintress #vostress #tenrose #ninerose #jancy

I love when I tell people I’m allergic to nuts and they’re like “all nuts?” and it’s like. Well. I haven’t tried every nut know to man. But so far it’s like 6/6 so yeah I’m just gonna throw it out there that I’m allergic to all nuts in lieu of going out of my way to find the one nut I may not be allergic to by process of elimination.

#this post is brought to you by I finally have a Nutella substitute #something I never had as a child #that bothered me enough that when my friends were all eating Nutella and going mmm Nutella I was like fuck you all give me that #I’m slightly less allergic to Nutella than anything probably by process of it being the furthest thing from a straight-up nut I’ve tried #but yeah #I *think* I’ve (accidentally) tried peanut(butter); walnuts; almonds; and hazelnut (that was intentional) #and I know I can’t eat peanutS and cashews and pistachios without trying them #chestnuts are a mystery. can’t tell if I’m allergic to them just by being near them like I can with other nuts #I don’t know what other nuts are out there #cut to my best friend getting annoyed I called all resses resses peices and she was like these aren’t resse pieces they’re resse CUPS #and I’m like in what world is that a distinction I have to make bestie #anyway #personal

why does everyone on tumblr hate gbbo… i get paul is a dick but that’s what makes it so funny…

#gbbo #great british bake off #bake off #like i get it if you don’t like the show #mexican week and the s’mores thing were fucked but if you don’t like the show you don’t have to watch it… #i get constructive criticism but it?? just feels weird??? to log on here and everyone is calling them horrible?? #like yes paul is a goblin but prue is trying her best :( #also i don’t see the problem with slightly incomplete recipes #i could do without them but it lets the judges assess the baker’s instincts #ahhh ok rant over #i’m really not trying to be rude i just get annoyed when everything i see is negative #the show is really quite good #there’s some sections we all shock-laugh at (rip 2022 mexican week) and i do think they should stop doing country weeks #please i just want one show that isn’t bad by somebody’s standards #I JUST WANT TO BE SAFE WITH MY ONE COMFORT SHOW PLEASE

I’m like Johnny Truant in the tags of every goddamn post I make or reblog on this site and I’m not apologizing. If you want me to apologize come over to my house and you can talk to the minotaur about it

#House of leaves #im literally going insane these days I should go back to journaling but I’m also afraid of how far off the deep end I’ll go #Literally I am losing it and I’m being serious #I’m so fucking tired of being lonely and being left out and not being able to make connections #Sometimes I feel as if im doing things without realizing and no one is telling me about it #Other times it feels like I must have something incredibly wrong with my face or body and no one will say anything #People make plans and don’t bother to ask me if I want to join and then when I find out there’s a group chat that all my friends are in #Except me and when I asked if I could join I was given a bunch of reasons that were frankly bullshit why I couldn’t join #Are they talking shit about me? I know everybody there it’s not like I am a stranger #Am I just a stranger in this world as I unllikeable? I try my best to be nice and charitable but what am I missing? #Do I black out and say things and do things? Am I more mentally ill than I know? #The only reason (or one of the very few) why I stay alive is because of my horses because I know they would miss me and I already feel bad #Not seeing them everyday #I’m tired of being the odd one out I’m tired of being entertaining when necessary #I don’t want my only friends to be horses because it further alienates me from the rest of society and I just want to be accepted I’m not #Looking to fit in I just want connection and friendship and I can barely seem to manage that #Maybe I’m just not worth it.

Started listening to Pink Floyd - Animals, which happened to be my mom’s favorite album

I sobbed and cried VERY loudly while holding her ashes like an insane person

Guys am I crazy?

#dylan speaks words #iunno #pink floyd #animals #pink floyd animals #I miss my mom guys #I miss her so much #she had the best opinions on music #I’m sorry I was a callous teenager mom #I’m sorry I gave up when you had cancer #I’m sorry I wasn’t trying my best #I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m so fucking sorry #please please forgive me #I don’t care if you think I’m a faggot or queer or worthless #I’d give anything to cry in your arms again mom #vent #vent post #music #rock music

it’s been a hell of a day at work

#oh man for starters there’s a big project going on and there’s tons of people about #i’m having to do a billion things to catch up from being off yesterday #then a client comes in looking for a coworker who is at another site today #leading me to trying (and failing) to answer the clients questions as best as possible while trying to contact the coworker #THEN right after i cooked my lunch in the microwave i trip and fall flat on my face #by a miracle my lunch did not spill on the floor and my phone wasn’t damaged despite skidding across the floor #still got a skinned knee and bruised elbow tho #when i get home tonight i’m having a bubble bath because i need to fucking chill #zippy speaks

To be honest how the fuck am I supposed to go to bed after seeing the mountain goats live how can I go to sleep as if something inside me hasnt been irreversibly changed the show was beyond amazing and I’m so happy I got to go with my beloved best friend who is probably the only other person on this planet who could understand how important this was (and is) to me

How could I not be changed when john darnielle has changed my whole life from the moment I was a scared little kid through the most tumultuous experiences of my adolescence and into adulthood

It’s been transformative

#HELLO??? HELLO?!??? #the mountain goats #I’ve been listening to tmg since I was 14ish #and my best friend got us tickets like 10 years later #john darnielle is a real man whose been out here for decades and was there for my formative years #and I finally got to go to my first tmg show #I’m so fucking thrilled #I had to try so hard not to record everything but who knows when I’ll have the opportunity to see him again #if there’s anyone who understands music in a compatible way as I do it’s my best friend

the fucking shitshow i experienced today…

#i won’t even get into the details of it but my work is being undermined and i didn’t say anything about it bc i was so taken aback and in #absolute shock. i have literally never Ever experienced something of this sort im not being dramatic i went into my office and told my #coworker girls what happened and everyone was staring blankly like ‘they said that to YOU??????’ bc it’s genuinely fucking unbelievable #got told some out of pocket shit that i willllll notttttt let slide but i need to get my shit together and think up the best way to respond #bc this wasn’t just undermining my work it was borderline humiliating. all from this woman who is supposedly my PhD mentor who NEVER #fucking helped me with anything and now she’s trying to tell me something that is SO insanely unfounded and just insane truly #as if i didn’t take over the entire goddamned (multi million) project and played the role of *drumroll* two phd students three #collaborators and TWO mentors one of whom was supposed to be the project lead. all that did so well that our ceo STILL praises me in #meetings and he never fucking praises anyone. as if i wasn’t offered two job positions in two separate labs while in one of london’s top #universities. as if i haven’t published 8 papers and a scientific book chapter which I’m the first author of #all without her help and now she wants to play mentor by trying to talk shit. oh my god im so miserable right now you have no idea #i can’t fucking stand her and no one in the company likes her anyway lmao but like #when i get out of this fucking state of SHOCK she just put me in im about to tell her to fuck off forever so politely and so wonderfully #that she will not know what happened to her. doubting MY capabilities ohhhh as if. as IF.

i’ve talked before about the fact that i like imagining down then left kahmunrah having some fancy rich fashion designer husband, and originally i was going to have this come up in the fic for plot related reasons (and the husband was going to be napoleon because i thought that would be funny) but the reason i ended up taking it out is because i became more obsessed with the idea of kahmunrah and al meeting each other through octavius and ahkmenrah and then ending up having a thing together but i didn’t have space to leave it in the fic

#al x kah is SO GOOD #just know that in my head al and kah end up having a thing #the horror on octavius and ahk’s faces when they release their best friend is fucking ahk’s brother #listen. gay friend groups are so messy with all the intertwining relationships and hookups i’m just making it realistic #i have this all planned out for no reason btw #al and kah meet because ahk’s friends have a dinner party thing to celebrate ahk getting his phd #this is after jed and octavius are together so jed is there too #they end up flirting and only ahk can tell because hes the only one who knows what flirty kah looks like #he drags octavius to the side and he’s like al is fucking hitting on my brother. octavius is like LMAO GIRL NOOO #jed is fucking oblivious and keeps interrupting the flirting by trying to join in with their conversation #octavius texts him under the table and is like stop fucking cock blocking al #i will say no more no one asked for this

[puppyeared]

footnotes arent enough I need you to talk to me like im fucking Amelia Bedelia

#this isn’t about anything in particular btw. I just have to add a lot of memos when I’m doing things because some things are done a certain #way and it isn’t explained well in the instructions. like my mom has instructions on her baking recipes right #but when it says stuff like add dry ingredients to wet ingredients it also means you don’t dump it in one go you add it slowly by portion #this is probably why I find videos and demonstrations the most helpful when I learn something. like I almost always ask someone to show me #how they do it because there could be something they do that’s already second nature and wouldn’t really be considered in an explanation yk #I don’t think I’m an exception either. when the rice is done cooking I divide it into 4 quarters to bless it #but there are a million ways to divide rice and it makes me think that one persons way of doing it or not doing it all is just as valid #theres also technically no wrong way to divide rice afaik. this means either all ways of dividing rice is safe or valid until we find some #universally terrible way of dividing rice. until that happens nobody really thinks about specifying HOW you divide the rice #source: I have anxiety starting and doing things for the first time because I got way too many people yell at me NONONO WHAT ARE YOU DOING #THATS WRONG while I’m in the middle of doing the thing. I would rather have people think I’m either very stupid or overly specific #than go thru the panic inducing fear of ‘YOURE DOING THIS WRONG OMG WHY DIDNT YOU ASK AHEAD OF TIME THIS WILL BE FUCKED UP FOREVER’ 🧍 #nothing wrong if you don’t give something a second thought because you’re so used to it. but I can and will ask about it and I don’t think I #really should feel bad about it if I don’t know enough to dispute it. idk #the other way around I try to be as specific as possible and word things in a way that people who might not get where I’m coming from will #understand. but the problem with that is my explanations tend to be lengthy and I lose them either way 🗿 #Im. trying to work on that using examples and stuff because they seem to work the best #but if I could write everything down on a word doc and beam it into your melon that would save both of us time and embarassment #im rambling the short version is I have adhd #yapping

Au where Damian is closer in age to Tim and joins the batfam after Jason dies

bruce has to make himself functional with a new kid dropped in his lap and then has to cut back on the violent outbursts because Damian WILL take it as permission to kill and they're trying to teach him not to do that

tim keeps his stalker tendencies and grows to like Damian's robin just as much as Dick and Jason's, even if this new robin is a bit stabby around the edges

damian is the first robin to notice Tim tho and confronts him on his own without telling Bruce

timmy is like heyyy don't stab me I swear I wouldn't endanger the bats ever & also I can maybe give you info I find sneaking around & also hey wouldn't it be cool to have a secret from bats? You could have your own personal informant wouldn't that be so cool you could impress Batman and everything

dami: fine but you don't have any more secrets right

tim, knows their secret identities: and I said no, y'know, like a liar

so they make a truce that turns into a friendship that turns into Damian hiding the fact that he has adopted a brother, shut up Batman you picked up random children from the street so can damian

bruce and dick: wow it's so nice that Damian has started listening to us about not killing or using excessive violence on people. We're glad he understands now

Damian, who got a 72 slide PowerPoint lecture from Tim about the practicality of not killing as a vigilante in Gotham: yes, that is what happened. I have accepted your perspectives on morality. No other reason

tim’s powerpoint has a lot of graphs and venn diagrams measuring different kinds of criminal activity vs public cooperation vs batman's violence levels vs police cooperation vs rogue activity. The gotham ecosystem is delicate

when jason comes back tim throws a fit because he has to REMAKE his powerpoint and all the graphs to add red hood’s vigilante-slash-rogue effect

Tim at some point: batman is fragile if you kill people it will make his traumatized brain explode

Dami: trauma?

Tim: y'know from martha and thomas being murdered in front of him

Damian, eyes narrowed:

Tim: I mean… that's just a game theory?

but just like generally Tim and Damian being each other's support systems

they bond over having parents who are absent?? Like, damian missing his mom and tim immediately empathizing on how its hard when you love someone who is away a lot or for a long time

they talk about missing them and damian is able to open up about feeling out of place and how difficult it is to adjust or know how he's supposed to act

#damian wayne #tim drake #batfam #batman #talia: lets play musical children. I will take jason and you can take damian #If talia knew about jason’s plans for revenge she probably would make damn sure that jason wasnt about to touch her boy #BUT assuming he somehow got that past her #tim would be SO salty about it. #jason: wait I’M your hero? Tim: well not after you tried to FUCKING KILL damian #jason: #tim: but yes you WERE my hero. damian said you guys were cool tho so i GUESS youre okay. For now. #damian mentions hes from an assassin cult and tim just like freeze frame hold up rewind a bit there /huh?????/ #tim trying to like. Support damian in detoxing from the cult stuff #and says really unsubtle stuff about how SOME PEOPLE grow up in environments that teach things that aren't always good for the person. #And this RANDOM PERSON WITH NO SPECIFIC EXAMPLE have difficulty adjusting to normalcy and reaching out is both the most effective- #-and best for the emotional wellbeing of this person #and damian is like ah i see (completely misunderstands) I will keep this in mind while interacting with grayson. #tim was completely ready to take on trying to stabilize a violent adult man who just lost a son of COURSE hed be like #‘yeah i can probably un-indoctrinate an assassin child. What could go wrong’ #when Damian figures out Tim knows their identities they get to hang out at boring social events #damian is like tim has my complete confidence. And tim is like uh yeah i just dont rat him out on feeling emotion #damian is describing Tim to dick and he's like oh wow my informant is very trustworthy #he has great use in entertaining me at fathers horrible social events #and dick is like Damian buddy that sounds like a friend. A friend is the thing you're describing #also important to this au is Tim's adrenaline junkie tenancies. He just is. #maybe also as a side thing it's a Tim as Barbara's apprentice au? Eventually becoming a vigilante but more in the informational vein #babs is like hey Dami why did I see u on this camera hanging out with a random child and Damian is like shit. Do not tell father pls #so he recruits her to teach tim self defense so he wont fuckin die running around gotham #dc #is this just blatantly me liking tim and damian being friends? maybe. you cant prove anything
