Gang there’s nothing more euphoric than going back to a restaurant that you used to go to daily but haven’t been to in months and have the owner instantly recognize you when you come in the door 😭

#I graduated college last year #and went back to the college town this weekend for a work trip #and the owner of the ramen place I used to go to daily recognized me so quick #first thing out of her mouth was You cut your hair!!!!#gang is is possible to love someone this much #oh the privilege of being known

oh oh OH what about best friend's little brother choso?

you remember when he was just a cute little middle schooler, shy and sweet-

but years later, after college and a couples jobs pulled you away and brought you back, you meet up with your friend again for a holiday and he's no longer small or sweet looking-

he's out on the back porch, combat boots and all black outfit, smoking a cigarette and watching the snow fall. tattoos of flowers and weaving designs peak out from under his sleeves. His quietness no longer feels like anxiety, its purposeful and intriguing.

the house is tight with a bunch of adults in it, so he's constantly moving you around with a hand to the waist or brushing up behind you--

#i have this scene in mind where he asks. do you remember the last time you stayed in our house.#you: back when i was in college right? your sister threw that party and my boyfriend and i came.#and choso leans in real close. and says 'i heard him fuck you. heard you cum. i shouldnt have listened but i did.#i fucked my fist to that memory for years.'#and he stands and says so softly #maybe ill do it again tonight #im imagining you were in college and he was 18 and just graduated

“What’s motivating you to finish your degree?”

“Spite”

#college #university #these last 4 years have really got me fucked up #the university experience is just constantly being kicked while you’re down #I’m spiting my university bc my freshmen year they were like “most of y’all aren’t gonna graduate #and I took that personally #and they have not made it easy #but fuck you im gonna do it anyway

Val Is Pretty Sure She Might Be Losing Her Mind, more at 11

#okay so y’all. do you happen to remember Alcott Boy? the guy I had a crush on from school last year (or really the whole time I’ve been in #college honestly) who had Opinions on Little Women #yeah him. anyway I thought I was over my crush on him but GUESS WHAT it’s back and worse than ever #like I only have one class with him that’s once a week but guys guys I feel like I’m LOSING MY MIND like. I’ve never felt the urge to #actually go up to a guy and say ‘hey do you wanna go out with me?’!! like I would never actually do that but the urge is most definitely #there??? and it’s not even that he’s cute (although I mean I think he’s cute) but he’s really really intelligent and funny and very notably #always willing to bring up his faith in class discussions (and this isn’t really the campus for that) and I’ve always admired him for that #(this is also the boy that looked at something I wrote in fiction class and said ‘that’s it that’s what love is supposed to be like!!’ LIKE #) and I genuinely don’t know what to do #like should I be concerned that I feel this strongly so soon after The Boy?? should I be concerned that this might just be limerance???#my roommate has been offering to talk to him for me and ask if he’s single and is it insane that I’m actually considering it???#like if I’m going to now is the ideal time—I’ve already had my class with him this week and spring break is next week #and I’m certain he would never make me feel bad if he didn’t feel the same. but if he did wouldn’t he have said something by now? I don’t #know I don’t know I don’t knooowww #but I graduate in two months and I don’t want to regret it for the rest of my life

Hello! I don't know if I'll get any interest but I am a little desperate so it can't hurt to try, right? I really need some money for my car payment (yay rural America) and paying towards my wisdom teeth removal, but I don't start back up at work until the end of February.

As of right now I can only take paypal and I guess tumblr??; if you're interested feel free to email me at lferg92 at gmail.com, or send me a message here!

You can see more examples of my art here.

Even if you can't help, signal boosting would be very appreciated!!

#pixel art #pixelart #aseprite #8 bit art #pixel animation #gotta love america and it's healthcare system and how car centric it is #i really need to update my blog its been a while #if you're curious why there's such a gap in art its because that's when I got into college #graduated last year #might open a kofi #im high key stressing about money #edit because i'm testing something out #when i used to post art on tumblr when you posted art and it was reblogged before you updated it the unupdated post would be spread around #it drove me NUTS #i wanna see if tumblr fixed that #they did not. that's why i waited so long before fixing the text because i knew the damage was already done but WHATEVER #ill fix the rest of the images and reblog it myself

not to be like “i miss college” even though i do but mostly i think i miss being smart. before depression and life events had chewed up and partially swallowed my brain. just getting to problem solve and think, being Very Into something as the norm. i know being an english major is basically the easiest thing you can be at the undergrad level but i do feel like that was the one and only time in my life where my natural state was actually a pro instead of a con. i graduated with the highest honors and absolutely no one cared but i cared

#aster chat #family life exploding exactly one (1) month from graduation is still just. it. god. it was almost seven years ago and it still hurts #SO much. i had worked so hard to graduate with the honors i did #i took a 400 level history class in my 2nd semester with one of the hardest humanities profs and i got a B #i basically lived in a break room for a whole semester because my misophonia was so bad with my roommate at night #i stashed pillows and blankets behind a couch and slept there to stay sane enough to write my papers #i got so close to Ending Things three times and DIDN'T #my professors LOVED ME #and then graduation came and it was just. over.#went right back home to sit between my parents as much as i could and get yelled at and watch everything go down the drain #like as soon as i walked out of college i stopped existing except as something for my parents and my job to use up #like. i know it's cringy to still be thinking about college but that was the last time i mattered as myself. you know #people liked me because of my brain! my thoughts! not for what i could do for them or for a paycheck #me qua me #okay lmao Antidepressant Time bye #no offense but my english classes wouldn't have made me feel weird about saying 'boon' instead of 'pro' up there #i changed it to not sound like an assclown but my profs would have thought it was funny.

I’m gonna be pathetic real quick,

#I miss her so much #dealing with a one sided crush on one of my closest friends no less has not been easy #we haven’t really hung out this year not bc of the feelings stuff but bc I was tired of always being the one to plan hang outs and outreach #this has always been our dynamic #she’s just not the initiator type #which was fine at first #but for me the more I put into a friendship the more I expect in return #so it was hard not to take it personally when things didn’t change after we talked abt it #anyway she graduated college today #and idk if it just really sunk in that this is very likely the last time we will ever be in proximity to each other #but something abt it just kinda hit me today #a part of me wishes she had reached out #but maybe this is for the best #I feel I shouldn’t have to ask for what I need every single time #the down side is that knowing that doesn’t cancel out the years of friendship #I’ve always had a hard time letting people go #a part of me almost always cares about them for a long time #it’s hard bc my college experience was largely knowing that while I had friends I likely wasn’t their top choice #or part of their larger group #I floated around a lot which was cool sometimes and lonely other times #but if there was any person who I would have expected or I guess even just wanted to put in more of an effort it was her #personal #rambles #vent #it is complicated navigating friend expectations vs crush yearning #but I like to think that I can be rational enough to distinguish between the two #and so not ask for anything that is outside the reasonable expectation for friends #idk man it’s been an emo day overall ig

at church reading the hymn lyrics like "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and "hey i learned that word from translating song lyrics so that i could write genshin fic!" and "hey i learned that word from genshin!" and finally "omg i learned that word from the king's avatar"

#花話 #it's funny bc i Objectively know more cn than the last time i was here seven years ago which is great #bc the last time i learned any cn in a classroom was seven years ago lol #and i think that's probably a combination of Very Much Not Wanting To Lose What Skills I Have +gnshn n similar giving me occasional practice #but yeah of the words i Remember where i learned them it's like 85% gnshn 14% lyric translation n 1% king's avatar lmao #been trying to connect my laptop to the mobile hotspot i have here and Suffering(tm)... pain and agonie #i mentioned this on main but apparently i just Cannot have a line acct for w/e reason #(i suspect it's bc i made an acct in america on my phone number but temp sim card --> diff phone number here)#(and since i didn't expect this i didn't tie the acct to an email --> i am unable to have line)#however my mother and i have graduated past emails and are now just using regular texting to communicate it seems #ANYWAY i get to see the jade cabbage today. i hope. and other things i also hope!!#i was going somewhere w/the line thing OH it's bc on the way home from church my mom saw a sign that said 元氣 and was like 'genki desu!'#it is always kind of a surprise to hear my mom speak jp bc it sounds simultaneously clumsy and full of confidence #she has friends in japan (college roommate + old pen pal + i have no idea she's lived Quite a life i feel) n i once found her old letters #and was kind of surprised bc they were like entirely in jp so obviously she could read n understand a lot #but anyway my mom went on to talk abt how taiwan continues to have significant japanese influence to this day n i was like yes... weebs c':#it's also interesting bc we'll go sightseeing n she'll be like “ye that's from american/jp occupation times but they gave back the land'#'so now it's xyz' n i'll be like. almost 'tails.jpg A Colonialism.'

I still remember when I started my current sketchbook and I said I was gonna finish it in a year, that was on 2020... guess who is very bad at reaching her goals!

anyways I'm 12 pages away from finishing it and I have to do that before the month ends so I can take with me a smaller sketchbook on vacation, because my brain wont let me start a new sketchbook if I dont finish this one

#If I was still on college for the rest of 2020 I would have finish it in a year tbf #bc I always started every school proyect with traditional sketches and then I did the final parts on digital #but since I graduated and with the pandemic I stuck to do everything on digital #I barely use my sketchbook anymore #just to plan comics and animatics #all my thumbnails and initial storyboards are on my sketchbook #I might just use the last pages to finish thumbnailing chapter 3 of kidnapped #or as much as i can of the sep leo au #dg rambles

wait. when you say "welcome class of 2006" does that mean they start in 2006 or graduate in 2006?

#saltburn felt like they were in the middle of their college endeavor #but 'the take' says it's 2006 during the film #but maybe i missed something and it was their last year?#but then why the banner. idk idk lmao #mind you i always thought that phrase is pointing to a graduating year #because of the oc lmao

finally watched the live 4 climax (i was waiting for eng subs then waiting for my finals to be over) and there are actual tears in my eyes who said they could do that. (sort of spoilers in tags i guess??)

#/POS BTW #THE FUCKING. LEITMOTIFS. GOD.#i'm already a year into college atp but i really resonated w karen's conflict (and everyone's really?) about graduating #and leaving behind people who are precious to you and not knowing what you want to do in life #and nevertheless you can't get stuck there. you have to hold your head up and move forward #and this is what revstar has always gone into but the way they pulled it off in this stageplay was impeccable.#it's so simple but it's so powerful #momoyo's performance in particular was so incredible #i'm a bit sad bc it SEEMS like this is the last stageplay w kukugumi? and that would make sense for a lot of reasons but #(again this is a guess i know nothing)#but god. what a lovely story #i love you revue starlight

You know for all the shit we give periods I'll give them this, they're pretty handy for telling time. For instance: it's been about a month since the last time I had lasagna and you'll never guess how I know this

#look i have adhd time blindness and everyone can tell #it's been 4 years since i graduated hs and senior year was last week.#i started a new job 3 weeks ago and I've worked there my whole life #today is Saturday and tomorrow is wednesday and i don't start college this fall for another 3 years #fi talks #tw menstruation #periods #also i have cramps 😠

Just pulled an all-nighter for no apparent reason, very interesting

#at like 10pm i was like this feels like 1am and now that it's 7am i'm like this might as well be 2am for all i can tell #i should go to bed this is concerning #unfortunately i also have a case of the hornblower brainworms and would like to beam several stories directly from my head #but that's not going to translate into anything meaningful at this stage so i might as well sleep #perce rambles #crazy though how i pulled exactly one all-nighter in college and it was the last day of finals my fourth year #and since then i've pulled several for no reason at all #not sure what's up with the old brain but it's been on a very weird wavelength since graduation and/or covid year off
