#which will probably happen next year

[liquidstar]

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

This might be an outright lie but SHE DESERVES TO GET AWAY WITH IT considering how many lies she’s being told all the time. SHE CAN HAVE THIS ONE FOR FREE. 

Yes I am a Sakura apologist why do you ask

MEANWHILE: SADNESS

It’s interesting that in this version Lava Lamp is consumed with the constant sadness that she could drop dead literally any moment, and so every single interaction he has with her is completely heartbreaking. Meanwhile in the Chapter 1 version of these events Syaoran WASN’T consumed by this sadness - there was no curse, there were no lies, there was no acting. But Sakura still (practically) dropped dead due to Evil Wolverine’s plans the very next day, and had to be put back together piece by piece. 

And oh how THAT must have sucked to watch through Syaoran’s eyes - to watch the happier, more carefree version of your life play out with an equivalent tragedy hitting Sakura around the same point in time. 

Especially after searching for (almost) SEVEN YEARS and not being able to prevent it. And then watching for another seven years for it to end the same way. 

Honestly Lava Lamp needs more than one hug at this point.

#Perhaps even more than two #Quick somebody get him a weighted blanket and some hot chocolate #And then roughly fourteen years of therapy #That’s a good place to start #Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle #Tsubasa #Vol 199 #Lava Lamp Guy #Sakura #Which Sakura? #A Sakura #Not Sakura #And Chapter 1: again - for the first time! #What will happen in the big chapter 200? #…Sakura dying? #Probably Sakura dying right? #I guess we'll find out next time

love to do wiki work. hate doing it. love hating it. hate loving it.

(my fun little js project that im way too proud of. i love to click buttons)

#i have to keep stopping myself from going on 2 hour research tangents on what exactly byakkos fit is #and when exactly china invented the four gods (somewhere between 2000BC and 1 kajillion BC) #“why do u do this stuff if ur always bitching about it” well u see i love loving it. #also “well someone else will probably do it” was also the attitude i had in 2018 about both translation and the wiki #and then fuck all happened in the next 3 years which is why im here now #and also bitching about it is my love language <3 would never bitch about something i dont love #anyway my life has just been working on the wiki for the past month i think im a husk of a human being

ive never felt more rural than i have in the past few weeks since hanging out with a lad who has only ever lived in cities. what do you MEAN YOU'VE NEVER DONE A MORRIS DANCE

#he didn't even know what morris dancers WERE i said some shit like 'you know it's summer when the morris dancers come out' #and he was like 'the what now' I FEEL LIKE IM GOING CRAZY. HE'S FUCKING WITH ME SURELY #AND THIS HAPPENS SO OFTEN ABOUT THINGS I JUST ASSUMED WERE BASICS #'harvest festival 🤨' PARDON. YOU ARE JOKING #and also the CONCEPT of a village is baffling to him. i said there's probably about 100 people in my entire village #and we don't have a pub or a single shop the closest ones are in the NEXT village over which is a 3 mile walk #and this boy was HORRIFIED. we are both in a constant state of thinking the other is taking the piss #and now every time i think/do something abundantly rural im SO self-aware 😭 #my mum told me the farmers are gonna do a xmas tractor run through our village this year #(they usually miss our village bc even by village standards it's tiny) #and she was like 'shame you'll miss it! i'll send you a video!' and im there already picturing this boy's face when i show it him #like sigh. yeah. yeah okay maybe the rural england is ingrained deeper than i feared. never escaping the allegations etc #had a conversation with him the other day that concluded with me 100% genuinely being like 'you need to touch grass' #i literally said 'i think it would fix you. like actually go and touch some grass what the fuck' #bc at this point he's so far removed from nature that it's INSANE TO ME. i didnt realise how much i took growing up rurally for granted #THESE PEOPLE DONT EVEN GET DRUNK IN FIELDS. THEY HAVE NO FIELDS. I HAD TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHAT A CAMP OUT WAS

So either new years is a unit event or we're getting 3 mixed events between next event and next year

#I've been shouting about this on main now i'm going to calmly report it here #COLOPALE WHAT THE FUCK WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SCHEDULE #mod talks #as i was saying #next event i think might be kamikou 2-A (akito/an/nene) #as for the others... maybe a miyajo perm school festival event? and then the new years event (which is probably going to be mizuki btw) #and then there's world link #so that's. 6 events until we get to the last 5 events in this rotation. jeez #unless NY event ends up being a unit event #if it's not. don't expect white day or vday events next year

[pessimisticprincess]

i got offered a promotion thing at work that would come with a lot of strings it would change my schedule completely and also make it so i cannot leave the company for a year but it also will add a significant amount of money per hour and i’d be certified in something pretty cool that i could carry into another higher paying job in the future so now i have to decide if i think its worth it 😭

#it’ll throw everything off the next few months which is hard for me but #the pay increase would be so good i don’t wanna live in this house forever #and i’ll be able to use the certification forever as long as i keep up with it #decisions are way too hard :( #but i think its pretty likely i’ll do it the year thing is really what has me hesitant but the time will pass anyways and #the chances of me finding a job within the time with that kinda pay increase is probably not gonna happen #begging for this to be something good and positive for me 😭

i am once again on your dash begging for your patience —

#𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 + [ OOC ] #i've been lurking as some of you may have noticed by your notifications getting flooded — #but i realized i never made that update post i said i was going to #so here goes: #work has been killer. as usual. expect me to be more active on the weekends ( sun - mon. ) #and we're still fighting for three day weekends. if that happens i'll be A LOT more active. #as my sun and mon tend to be pretty well occupied with chores and gaming with the boys. another day will give me a lot more time to be here #but anyway that's not the main point of this post — #for the past few years or so i've been dealing with a few health issues #and it's just been getting worse since i didn't have affordable health insurance last year. #( i'll never understand how i was paying $300 a month for health insurance and still had $100 co-pays...smh ) #i do have good insurance this year though !! #and i've been able to pick back up on the endeavor to figure out what the fuck is wrong with me #and in doing so we have deduced that i have a heart condition. an av blockage that worsens when i exercise / lay down / and with stress. #which is probably the cause of my extreme fatigue and general fogginess. and of course the cause of my chest pain and heart palpitations. #i've got another appt with the cardiologist to figure out the course of action from here #but there have been talks of everything from medication to a pacemaker — so we'll see what happens... #and of course if anything as serious as that happens i'll let y'all know in case i just disintegrate into the ether for a while. #but that's not until next month — so until then we here #we vibin' and survivin' — #replies and things just may be mushy for a bit. or...well...even more so than usual. because i won't lie things have been getting worse #and i think it's the stress from work — BUT ANYWAY #i have not forgotten about that inbox call i promise #this shit just sorta popped off and i lost track of time. #i will say this: i will EVENTUALLY get to them. #i may answer drafts & asks in the meantime so it's not completely dead around here ( and i also don't wanna keep y'all waiting on those ) #but i won't be posting anymore memes or inbox / starter calls until that one's taken care of. #inbox is still open — if you'd like to send something to me from the memes i already have on my blog though ! that's never gonna change. #or just random things. #okay — anyway for real:

self assessment improvement charts are the nastiest pox god has ever inflicted on planet earth

#:) #explain to me in 5 seconds what the point of a personal development plan is or i start biting #genuinely who the hell knows what they're gonna be doing each month for the next 3 years why do i need to submit itemized calendars #aren't deadlines enough. who benefits exactly from knowing which thesis chapter i'll be writing next june #i don't even know half the stuff they're asking from me like yeah events will probably happen over the course of this phd isn't that enough #i know maybe what's happening up until march i do NOT subscribe to a longterm thinking culture #if i don't submit my work according to the hard deadlines i will die so does it really matter how i get there so long as i get there lmao #'please track your progression with your writing confidence on this 5 point scale' concepts made up by the utterly Deranged

Wanting to come back vs feeling like the Jojo fandom is dead and no one will care about what I post lmao

#I logged in today and have been debating myself wheter or not I should be back #I'm too attached to what I created to just let go of it #but at least the same time... it feels like I have no one to talk about it lol #Stuck in a loop of wanting to join more fandoms yet nothing feels as nice as how I've always felt with my jojo friends #This sucks #I should probably log off again until next year #Or until things feel better... #which I don't know if it'll ever happen

Guess who finally finished their first legendary!! Incinerator ACHIEVED.

#gw2 #Guild Wars 2 #my posts #fun fact: I've been 1 step away from completion for like a YEAR #all i needed was the gift of baelfire and some lodestones #and now that the gift doesn't seem to require actually doing citadel of flame :) just snagged it with some dungeon currency #(finished it last night technically but close enough) #anyway. Scarlet can now commit war crimes with it :) #i chose it specifically because of the Molten Alliance components you had to nab for the original process lol #next... is the Predator. which i mainly need some more dungeon currency and 100 gold (icy runestones) to finish #that'll probably get done whenever dungeon rush happens since i'll collect a ton of currency during that lol

#me for forever: i probably have ocd. that would make a lot of sense. psychologist: u seem to meet the diagnostic criteria for ocd. me: >:-O #so yeah. i officially have ocd. shocking. i know. its only exactly as i suspected #i did not expect to get so much investigation into bipolar tho. checked a lot of boxes on a bipolar checklist sheet #and like yeah this issue probably goes back to hs but like its not that obstructive. i mean. it is but like. its not that bad #and yes. the fact that i had a fucked up reaction to Lexapro may support that diagnosis. but like i dont really remember what happened that #well. it could just b how ocd and anxiety along with whatever spectrum problems i have manifest. it could just b pmdd #i do have recorded spells of high energy outside the expected phases of my cycle. but like ya kno #it would just truely truely shock me if i was bipolar #but what i described was apparently fucked up enough that my counselor was like hm have u looked at a physical medical issue? #and im like. ive not been to a doctor in 6 years. so i have a doctors appointment next week lol #yeah. so interesting so far. this does mean exposure therapy which im gonna hate but i mean #its the thing that works with ocd and i wanna get better so lets fucking go i guess #unrelated

yesterday i was thinking that if i don't get into any phd program by the end of the year and i switch to focusing on studying oposiciones to work at a museum i will try and learn some catalan to get the c1.

#basically my plan for next year is: if i get into the phd i will be living abroad which is scary but i'll be doing a phd which :) #if i don't. i will try to get into a phd next year but that will become my plan b #my plan a will become studying oposiciones and going to conferences / writing papers / studying languages / anything to engross my cv #i was thinking of also trying to get the official tour guide license so i can work as that in the meantime but for what i saw in madrid #the last call for the exams to get it were in 2017. so that's fun #i'll also want to try another official language exam. probably french cause that's the language i know most after english. #and then. i could also try and get the c1 of catalan cause i don't mind moving to another autonomous community to work in a museum #like i am open to state autonomic and local museums. they just have to be historical / ethnological / archaeological #my dream would actually be to work at centros de interpretación in archaeological sites but i don't know if they fall under the 'museum' #denomintation or if they are another thing i'd had to study for #and a c1 in catalan opens up my possibilities in three new autonomic communities #it's also the cooficial language i know the best. and also valencia (and more specifically alacant province) is like. on my top 3 list of #preferred destinations. cause i know pretty well the province so i think i wouldn't be so anxious moving there #and there's family and friends so i won't feel so alone i think #anyways. this is all hypothetical. but yeah #oh!!! i almost forgot!!! #if all of this happens i also want to try learning pottery ^_^ #there's a pottery workshop next door to my therapist office so i would most likely go there hehe #i'm happy cause i'm excited both to live abroad and do a phd and to stay here and study a bunch of things so. regardless of what happens #these next few months until 2024... next year is garanteed to be better than 2023. for sure

WHOS CHILD KEEPS PUTTING MY PHONE NUMBER IN FOR THEIR GODAMN APPOINTMENT

#it literally gives me the option to cancel the appointment like #i wont but still #also this means i can 1 ignore this for the next however many years 2 i have to go there in person and say they got the wrong number #bc if i call how the hell do I verify that im not a family member and im just some wrong number over phone #and i cant drive which means i gotta go and get someone else to drive me there and hash this in person #and like. idk about others but I had a lot of appointments as a child so like. i dont want to get these texts every other week or so #tbf i can ignore this its only the second time its happened but also #like the pediatrics probably has the adress and email so important shit can be sent via actual ass mail if needed #but also like. having the wrong contact info on medical shit is so fucking bad #i know this because for a whole ass month my insurance had the wrong contact info for my psych and never asked me about it #so like. it still is important for the correct info #but also stop making me deal with your childs appointments #shiko speaks

1. it’s my 24th birthday today, so my goal of being published by the time i’m 25 is now a one year looming monster, but i never specified what kind of published and am currently looking in various literary magazines that are recommended for writers who have yet to be published, so i’m surprisingly confident that i can make it work? and tbh even if whatever i write isn’t officially published before my 25th birthday, if i have someone in the process of being published then i’ll be happy!! no matter what though, i’m gonna try to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot!!

2. i honestly love that my birthday is on the ides of march because the ides of march meme shitposting is only a thing on tumblr but it also being my birthday makes it easier to like. be excited about the ides of march outside of tumblr. like even in person i can be like “it’s my birthday! i’m an ides of march babe (:” and if someone is like oh what’s that? or if they say something along the lines of oh like julius caesar? i can be like yep!! and even if it’s a small thing outside of tumblr it brings me immense enjoyment and amusement being able to bring it up off of tumblr

3. transportation situation has been very rough since june 2023 when i totalled my car, my gap insurance are being assholes and i ended up putting my foot down on the phone with them yesterday which i’m pretty proud of because i am NOT a confrontational person (something i’ve been working on this past year, so seeing some improvement with my ability to hold my ground and not be a pushover yesterday was very cool!!) i was told i’d get a response from them by friday next week no matter what, and if i don’t then friday of next week i will continue to wreak havoc upon them. but my moms car which i’ve been using since my accident broke down yesterday, hopefully it’s fixable but my parents were saying it might be done for, so trying to think of how i’m gonna get to work next week is kind of stressing me out lmao, but for now i’m just gonna focus on enjoying my birthday the best i can because i don’t want to start off being 24 with an overwhelming anxiety for something that won’t be a potential issue until monday. plus i already messaged my boss today to let her know that i’m going to do everything i can to make it work out but just so she’s in the loop and knows of the potential of me not being able to make my morning shifts (one of my coworkers said she’s more than happy to give me a ride for our afternoon shifts which does help relieve some of the stress!) and i told her i’d let her know for sure sunday so that if necessary she can have time to figure out someone to fill in for me in the mornings!

overall: life is weird and i ended being 23 yesterday with a shitty situation but a positive outlook and i am going to enjoy my first day of being 24 no matter what because honestly i fucking earned it. happy friday everyone, i hope it’s a good day for you and me both!

#aritalks #i did cry a little bit when i first woke up because i dont really know what to do about work and also i hate not having a car i can use #not only because of the work aspect but also getting my license when i was 18 gave me a freedom i didn’t have before #and i don’t like having to rely on other people just to like go to the fucking store or something yk #but then my best friend/roommate messaged me happy birthday and i was like fuck it! today is going to be a good day! #the stressful uncertainties can wait until tomorrow #also one of my best friends who hasn’t said happy birthday to me the past two years #(not intentionally im p sure they were just busy on my birthdays the past two years #and then had that moment of ���oh shit i didnt send a message fuck i think its too late now’ which i totally get bc anxiety things yk) #was one of the first people to message me happy birthday!! #i’m also hoping to still be able to go see my mom and then stay the night at my dads tonight #so i can see both my parents and also my baby siblings for my birthday #my dads working today but after he texted happy birthday i sent him a text asking if he thinks we could still make it work #my mom is asleep still i think (she called me at midnight and left a voicemail singing happy birthday!! but her sleep schedule has been all #over the place recently so i’m waiting until 11:30 to call her which is in like 30 mins) #but she said something yesterday about driving out to me to give me a hug and also bring me my diabetes stuff that got delivered #(her house is my mailing address because i know it’s not going to change bc it’s my great grandparents house that she’s partially inhereting #when my great grandpa dies but since i have moved out of my dads my address has changed twice and i didnt have a mailbox at my last place so #just for the sake of consistency and not having to worry about important shit getting sent to the wrong address i’ve had her house as my #mailing address since i moved out of my dads at 19) #so i think i’m gonna ask her if she can just pick me up instead so i can go to her house w her and hang out with her #and hopefully my dad will be able to at least stop by with my siblings so i can see them too #i’d like to stay the night with them but if we can’t make it happen then i can also stay the night w my mom and hopefully tomorrow figure #out the car situation. might have to rent a car for a week if i can afford it? best case scenario is my moms car can be fixed but i still #dont know whats wrong with it ik there are two potential problems and one is fixable the other is not #the fixable one would cost like $150-$400 to fix depending on if we get a used part or a new one #if its $150-$200 ish i can probably afford to pay for the whole thing or at least most of it #but if its more than that hopefully my dad or one of my family members can help #and i can just pay them back in like $50 increments with my next few paychecks #just realized i said i wouldnt worry abt the car thing today and also i think im at tag limit to i’ll stop now lmao xoxo gossip girl ❤️

Okay important and genuine message from me. I'm not much or often a poster on timblr but if I can give a sincere message. It's to have varied interests. Be into multiple things at once. It doesn't have to be the same intensity for all of them or level of interest or whatever. Hell not all of it has to be good. Just have multiple things to look forward to and care about

#poke post #was watching a long ass video essay recently #n it finally mqde smth click for me coz like #one of the most miserable times in my life was when i was in the ds/mp era #because it and associated content creators were all i was into! so when shit was hitting the fan a long long time before i left #i was left in just the worst relationship to what was to be a comfort #and now fast forward a few years and. its like. im reading books. im going outside. im playing games. im drawing things. i curate my time #online very scrupulous because if i dont its easy to end up sad #which for me was starting to happen w/ q/s/mp #and so i was able to leave #because i have friends and shit outside of it and things i can talk about other then it #and its so freeing #which is to say. just. try to carve out time for more then one interest or thing at a time if you can #there are things you can do!! look up top 10 books in a genre!! order them off a library!! log off your socmeds for a while!! fuck!! #its not easy but its so worth it i promise it is. #+ also moreover please always remember my friends you are never obligated to engage in things if they make you unhappy. its always okay #to check and see if something brings you more joy then discomfort #take care everyone take care of yourselves #no one else can do it for you #anyway i will now go back to. my book :3 ive been reading the g/olden compass. havent finished yet so no spoilers #feel free to ask me about it ill probably get to it tmrw #also some things im looking forward to: #more on/e piece more wi/tch hat a/tieler ram the next stream of this small streamer ive been into #the next novel by this mid author i liked as a kid- #the next ep of du/nmeshi anime #and more and more #and sometimes i forget to have a thing to look forward to #and must find something new again again #its worth it #also yea no this is incoherent hope someone gets smth out of it tho
