i love that in the first book, bella’s free time from school & dealing w moody vampires is just. cooking dinner & reading the same book 5 times in a row.
it may seem like a lack of character development- but i too spend most of my time trying to remember the basic necessities i need to not die & hyperfocusing on a single piece of media for 8 months.

idk who needs to hear this but if you knit or crochet you do not need to stress about it all of the time. that defeats the purpose of having a hobby. yes sometimes i do projects that require learning new stitches and making several runs to the craft store and searching for a specific brand of yarn and counting stitches and recounting stitches. but i also have a blanket that i call my "idgaf blanket" and it's literally just a giant gloriously repetitive chain stitch blanket made of a conglomeration of whatever yarn i happen to have scraps of. my rules are no undoing for dropped stitches, no overthinking color patterns. for just this one project, i simply crochet it because i like the feeling of crocheting. sometimes i just need to work on my idgaf blanket and that's okay and when it's done i'm sure i'll appreciate it a lot more simply because it never gave me anxiety

some suggestions for relatively quiet, choose-your-own-stimulation-level hobbies that aren't "sitting in empty silence for hours on end"
going for walks, hiking
gardening (outdoor, indoor, bonsai care)
puzzles (jigsaw, word, brainteasers like sudoku, etc.)
writing (fiction, poetry, song lyrics, journaling)
reading (too cool for regular books? try comic books or magazines)
drawing, doodling, coloring
mobile games or video games
crafts like knitting, crochet, or embroidery
practicing yoga or martial arts forms
assembling lego or no-glue model kits

I still can't believe Critical Role in the span of 2 weeks went 'hey remember that ship you like? Well we have this whole episode endorsing it which is awesome' just to suck me in and then this week go 'now that we got the table invested, Taliesin will now whiplash everyone like Imodna did with the sisterzoning but also maybe denial or gauging reactions' and then leave us on that FOR THREE WEEKS

(TW: Bugs and Crawly Critters)
So I was just re-watching episode 6, and I got up to the scene where we’re introduced to my babygirl Helaena for the first time, and as I was watching I decided to pause and see what she actually had in her little insect box of horrors. I first looked to the left and saw the beetles organised from smallest to largest (adorable), and then as I looked to the right I realised she had a WHOLE ASS SCORPION IN THERE AS WELL!?!

I just don't understand why he doesn't consult his legal or pr team on literally anything.
if I had the money to afford those I'd have them shoring up literally every single thing i said ever
(also for the sake of others I do understand its actually massively inflated ego)

The idea that Jin Guangyao needs more friends (and that would help solve things) is a misconception I think.
The world sucks for him and makes it difficult or impossible to make genuine friendships, but blorbo is nice. He's smiley! He's polite! He remembers people's names and interests with an obsessive efficiency! He uses this to buy personalized gifts and help people the way they need it most! He's committed to public service and shows affection by solving peoples problems! If you let him.
He is canonically a beloved president and uncle and boyfriend until the ruin-san-ge's-life-revenge plot shows up. Sure he has trust issues but given enough time and actual stability and space it seems like he would chill out! He wants basic respect, he wants people to like him, he knows how people work and how to create and maintain relationships (arguably better than most characters in the novel). In a less shitty world, he would be fine. He can make his own friends, and does so.
The actual interpersonal disaster who could be saved with the power of friendship is Nie Mingjue. My man has. A younger brother and basically one friend, the world's most friend shaped, Lan Xichen. He has. Deputies. Former deputies who occupy a strained and ambiguous relationship status. He's got. Trusted colleagues. I'm not saying he doesn't know how to people at all, it seems like on a purely functional level, he does fine. He's like your manager who shares absolutely nothing about his personal life and has no idea how to show affection or give praise, but, has very clear and set expectations and is literal as hell, and *at work*, that's fine! Great, actually.
But oh boy befriending that person is hard. Also. NMJ doesn't seem to let himself, want friends? Try to make more? Probably some mix of "don't know how" and "don't have time for, anyway (I'm so fine. Totally alright. Just leave me alone.)"
It's canon that his response to LXC being busy rebuilding the cloud recess is forbidding him from coming to play music for him, not because he's mad at LXC, but because he refuses to ask LXC to take time away from an important thing, for him, even as he's dying. He actually doesn't even ask, he tells LXC he's not allowed to help (and LXC obvs wants to and that's how we get JGY playing for NMJ to begin with).
JGY responds to people being nice to him by being really fucking nice in return. He responds to loyalty and respect really really well. Does he have a low threshold for what breaks that relationship off completely and puts him on the defensive? Yeah (and understandably so). But JGYs trauma doesn't manifest as an aversion to explicit kindness or affection! (Especially/so long as it seems genuine). Just look at how he responds to LXC.
NMJ responds to questions about his values by not answering them, and deflecting with anger. He deflects, most questions, almost everything, with anger. Or super formal work boundaries. He knows how to be the figure of responsibility but as soon as someone says oh hey let me help you it's "fine, grudgingly" and then "oh I see you're busy. Stop worrying about me immediately I am so fine leave me alone. I forbid your presence actually. As sect leader. Ha." When he's genuinely distressed his protests are "I know what I'm doing!" which. Given the context is fucked up but it also shows what he's scared of really well. That when he feels threatened he doubles down on insisting he's competent, he can handle it, he can be left alone, stop interfering, leave.
This is just my headcanon but I think part of that is. Terror that he's going to hurt people, that he tries not to directly acknowledge. But he also knows that even if he doesn't kill someone qi deviating he's going to die eventually, probably soon, so - obviously the answer is to push everyone away before that happens, because it'll hurt less when it inevitably does, right? It's fine. Nothing is going to change the end result. There's no point in asking for people to care when it won't change anything, it won't, and they have better things to do anyway, right?
Which is why Huaisang needs to hurry up and be prepared to be sect leader. Because, he's dying faster than he'll let on, but he can't let anyone know that, can't tell Huaisang "you will actually" when his brother says "I'm never going to be sect leader, you can have that, I don't want it", so instead he defaults to anger, and yells about needing to practice saber and storms off. Because actually trying to explain would mean admitting weakness, which might lead to concern, and attempts to care, which is not allowed. (Have you considered that watching you die actually hurts the people you care about no matter what, and pushing them away isn't the answer nor will it make them feel better for having never seen that it was this bad and never acted faster).
Nie Mingjue. Would not make friends, left to his own devices. I don't even think he knows how, or not very well. Lan Xichen was his friend early enough, and they can bond over having to be responsible to their sect/younger siblings really young. But since then, it's just. Not a priority. And it never made sense to make it more of one, because more friends now just means more friends do inevitably hurt and possibly harm in the process of dying, so why bother? It's better not to.
#the gremlin does meta#dont get me wrong i want JGY to get ALL THE LOVE but I really think if he's just. not having an all around terrible time.#creating friendships is not an issue for him. i do think long term. things would come up. i mean obviously he didn't tell LXC things#but even then! that has to do w shitty circumstances/oh no I've murdered myself into a hole. type stuff#obviously whatever happened when they were hiding from the Wen. in relative isolation. was good#and JL adores him as an uncle. and JC has a functional co-parenting relationship. like. he does know how! and hes likeable#NMJ needs people to aggressively befriend him. probably against his will. bc he does not know how to receive affection#this also ties into the whole 'i dont have hobbies/interests! stop asking ' thing. and another reason he's so wary of JGY#NMJ is dont you dare try to make me experience the mortifying ordeal of being known. ill stab you first. personified#contrary to popular belief JGY does not stab people who try to know him. hes extremely devoted. u just gotta not make him feel threatened#also its hard to tell bc of how much their backgrounds shaped them. so idk about JGY. but it seems like NMJ was never the most. personable?#like again maybe in a completely different context he'd be different. but i do think. *that* extent of. not having any relationships. is#telling. my hc is that in a different world. he'd be much less. well. all that#but he still struggles with social implications/managing the complexities of groups. hes also very blunt#i think he'd have more patience/understanding but i also think my man was always a little autistic about it and that didn't help matters#maybe im projecting but i read NMJ as someone who basically needs ppl to come up and go. hey so were friends now#for him to be able to be like. ah yes. finally. a clearly defined relationship. ok i can do that#and then actually once thats established. and if he's not dying. hed do ok! not swimmingly but he can do it#but he needs ppl to kindof. make themselves his friend first#i mean *look* the two relationships he does have. are Lan I will befriend the world to cope Xichen#and Huaisang chaotic little brother who will hang around whether you like it or not#and?? his reaction to even the slightest perceived rejection when JGY is talking to LXC in the tent. about wanting his fathers approval#is to take it VERY personally immediately and go. oh? oh see he wants to leave. you tried to make a friend? colleague? something?#you tried to be nice to someone on purpose and look he wants to leave of course he does. he should actually. ill write you a letter asap#Nie Mingjue

I think about that mini fruit salad tree from Futurama at least three times a day. I would do literally anything to live in a world where tiny bananas grow right next to tiny apples on a plant that's small enough to live on your desk. That is utopia to me. That is a vision of the future I could fight for.

It's perfectly fine when others need reassurance, but it's childish, infantile, and immature if I do.
