I will say— i haven’t gotten to it yet, because im bad at this, but— i want to state my surface level thoughts when it comes to chip Dying
bc like to me chip has always been a cockroach. no matter what he goes through, it won’t kill him. in some ways as a cruel cosmic joke, a cyclic tragedy, he’s destined to forever exist. he’s been given an impossible task, to find arlin, and he’s not allowed to stop. he’ll just keep going and wallowing in it aimlessly forever, he’s not allowed even the decency of death. in the same way he breaths air, chip jrwi keeps on living — it’s just what he does, how he is.
and it felt extra validated with when he considered quitting while Gill was gone. he felt like his own presence was bringing down the people around him, that it was his fault gillion was gone— so he was going to leave to save them from himself and just… sail. he knows leaving means giving up his only real tangible lead to find arlin, what he wants, but he also can’t risk them so he’ll just take a boat and… wander listlessly. Hope for maybe something good to stumble upon. god has cursed him and his work is never finished, etc etc.
so when i first heard abt Chip’s situation i was admittedly… not super into it? definitely contributed to why i got so far behind tbh, i wasn’t looking forward to it. it crashed hard against my perception of chip’s character & his narrative. hes destined to be a tragedy and that tragedy is because he’s alive
and I’ll be the first to say depending on handling i still may dislike the choice BUT I’ve made my own way around to enjoying the choice (even if it wouldn’t be my first choice)
first off, in some ways i feel like chip was also of the belief that he would just… keep living. no matter what happened to him. he’d “have a plan” and find some way to slip out, then restart and try again. he knows the universe seems to love to watch him suffer, so he just…. doesnt really think he can die. at least not like that.
it’s the very violation of the expectations I established, experienced in and out of character. it feels abrupt, wrong. that’s not what was set up for him! …until you realize that he changed first.
since the black rose, chip was seated with the fate of forever searching and trying to capture a past he can’t have. but it’s only through his experiences with jay and gillion and his OWN crew that he… grows past that. he makes peace with what he’s lost, or at least starts to, and allows for new growth in that spot. he’s regained a family to rely on, he’s growing comfortable and moving on. he’s losing the tragedy-angle of his own life— so he dies. his fate is absolute and it is black, it is a tragedy no matter what. this is the narrative retaliating against him for trying for better than he was allotted.
it’s worse too because he’s so close to finding arlin, to being able to finally put all this behind him and get closure. it’s all salt in the wound. leading him on, letting him regain his hope, giving him peace… only to snatch it all away. what a cruel, cruel joke.

OK ladies i am seeking advice from The Council: i got a great deal on an apt at a fantastic location a couple yrs ago (560 sqft, semi-renovated laminate flooring but white appliances) for 1635/month. I forgot to renew bc i was on an emergency trip to st louis so now i have to either fork over an extra 300/month or move out. I saw another good location w base pay 2k/month with an ISLAND KITCHEN and PENDANT lighting but rent + bills + car + internet wld be wiping out my entire paycheck. I recently got a promotion so ive been wanting to put 2k towards savings (not including 401k) but that would put me on a very tight budget of abt 500/month for food and fun in this beautiful time of inflation....like part of me is like im 30 for gods sake i deserve an actual bedroom with a door and amenities but the other part of me is like just move back in with the parents and wallow in your failures. Theres like no point if i dont want to live in 300sqft in the city for 1700/month!!!! What if i just want to live it up for a year!!!!!!! But also like my nonexistent retirement sav8ngs and investments tbh
Since it doesn’t sound like there’s that much difference, cost-wise, between your current place and your new place (if I’m understanding the finances correctly) I’d take the new place.
And I get it, as someone having to balance two apartments still and who’s paying about $2500 a month just in rent and having to figure out everything else.

ya fave hs grad is shit postting at 11:44pm ayy
honestly it feels so surreal to be out of high school? i’m not as proud as i should be because its j a step into what i wanna do later in the future, but its still a big milestone. ive been feelin a bit sappy bc i wrote letters to hs friends that i may or may not keep in touch with in the future and i j wanna let them know i appreciate them now, and how loved and valid i felt with them. (living in the moment is v important- i tend to overthink --esp abt how itll affect future events)
tbh if it wasnt for having a job and the upcoming competition, id be wallowing in anxiety bc of the big change coming up. i rlly scared for college, and im not sure if its the good kind (if there is one? i know theres good and bad stress). i think its been getting better tho- my anxiety i mean. like overthinking is a bitch sometimes, but it helps me make rational decisions (4/10- wont really recommend it tho).
ive been reflecting abt my interests as well. like im scared of changing biases (menial but ill explain). *m is v abt to taken c**ns spot- that concert gmfu real bad---but he’s endearing and a good role model (a bad egg in the past which is why i couldnt get behind him and his group but i dont regret it- hes improved and reflected upon it and i hope to find the same courage in myself to do the same, whenever that may be). but like change is really hard for me. i love familiarity but not knowing the unknown becomes an itch that i cant help but scratch until its raw. this is rich coming from the girl that want to see immediate change in world, eh? i guess its the same with college? im sure (well 75%) that i can handle the transition well, but the first few months are gonna be really hard, but i dont want to (can’t really) give up.
tl;dr - ya girls got butterflies abt college and its gnawing at the back of her brain, but she’s got a job and a competition to worry abt, and friends to help her get thru it all.

300+ FOLLOWER FOREVER (Speech && mentions under the cut)
Inhales
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
OK BUT
WHAT ???
I can’t believe I already have 300 followers!!! I don’t think I can say anything more that I haven’t said in my last follower forever. I love every single one of you to no absolute end, you guys! It’s a stupid thing to say, but I do not think highly of my portrayal of Angie, she’s much sadder than she should be hahaa,, but all of you have done such a great job of making me feel better about it, like following me or wanting to interact with me. All of it makes me feel like my Angie isn’t as bad as I think it is! You’re all absolute sweeties and I keep making more friends as time passes. It feels amazing here, even if I do encounter a few bumps along the way!
I know I take a long time to make replies and I probably should be writing up ask replies instead of doing yet another follower forever, but oh WELL WHAT CAN YA DO
Like before, I’ll tag a few of my good acquaintances (BC I DON’T KNOW IF YA’LL CONSIDER ME A FRIEND–) and pat their backs virtually for being nice to me.
BUT BEFORE I DO SHOUT OUT TO MY NON-RP FRIEND
