Why do the cool ideas live in my head but don't want to come out onto the page? I'm in such a writery mood right now, but just...nothing wants to be actual words, just little daydream pictures. Also no plots, only premises.
I also just finished a show, and I'm messed up over it. Do people actually just watch shows and move on when they're done? They don't live with an empty feeling in their stomach and their head full of thoughts for the next however long it takes to get over it?
Anyway, that relates because now I want to make a really cool story with lots of emotions and likable characters just like this show, but it's so hard. If only the little daydreams would write themselves for me exactly how I want them written.

You wanna know why I like Dazai so much?
It’s because he resonates with me. When I was 18 and severely depressed, I went to the club every weekend. Friday, Saturday and sometimes even Thursday til 5 in the morning, blackout drunk, smoking one cigarette after another, waking up with a massive hangover, just to fill that void in my chest.
Of course it didn’t help. I’ve known it back then, and I know it now. But slipping into those self-destructive behaviours was better than not feeling anything at all.
I don’t know when it started. Maybe I was just born with it. All I knew was that I don’t feel like I belong here and that I want to go home.
I’ve been the golden child, the smart kid that got good grades without studying much. But where did it get me now? I’m 25, working through my second therapy, taking antidepressants again and I have no idea what to do with my life. I have no desire in earning a whole lot of money, no desire to contribute anything to society, no desire to exist.
It’s odd, really. Contradicting even. I find a lot of things beautiful. Music, art, nature, sometimes even people. Always seeing the world through the eyes of a child. Though somehow I’m always at war with myself, trying to bend and force my mind to function properly.
I’m not even sad. I just don’t know what to do or say anymore. I’m so tired of explaining myself, tired of being the “funny friend”, tired of always listening to others. I don’t even want anything anymore.
But there he is. A fictional man, with a dark past who pretends to be silly and carefree even though he’s dying inside, who puts my thoughts into better words than I ever could. That is why I love Dazai so much. Because there is this one character that gives me the feeling that I’m not alone in my suffering. Is it delusional? Yeah, maybe. But I can’t be bothered. He gives me a sense of belonging in this world of pure chaos and for that I cannot thank him enough.

Looking though my wips/fic ideas to see if anything would fit for the Wille's Month event (that would be such good motivation to work on something!) and gosh I just have some silly stuff in there, and I'm always doubting my ideas and ability to express them well but I guess that's probably a common feeling and you should write for yourself etc etc. Grateful for the relative anonymity of fandom because I'd never have the guts to put myself out there creatively irl
So I might try to finish my silly little frog story for Wille. But s3 made me feel differently about it, so I don't know.

little ramble but bpd has symptoms that overlap in other mental illnesses but just because that exists doesn’t mean we should gatekeep people from self diagnosing if it’s their only option, mental health resources can be hella expensive so if people don’t have that kind of opportunity to have it that doesn’t mean we should just let them suffer in silence

Heyyo! I really like you Diluc posts! Btw, do you watch Nichijou? Because I definitely see Diluc as Mai lol
Tumblr media
Aaah I'm so glad!
I actually really love Nichijou. I rewatch it every few months. But honestly I can see him being Mai but the important question is who is his Yuko? I do think Mai and Diluc totally share a sense of humor that totally throws people (specially people like Yuko)
It would be funny if Diluc let Kaeya walk around with squid in his hair.

Update yall!! Apparently I had some sort of cold or something because now my inner ears are acting up and I've spent the whole day having vertigo 🤩 Had to go to urgent care and everything.
Tiny little vent here, but man, I'm actually so done. I wish people without chronic illness could understand how badly people with it genuinely want to do stuff, but just can't sometimes. I want to go to school. As an 18 year old high-schooler, that sounds like I'm lying. But after so many days lying alone in bed and watching all my friends go to school, all I want is to be there. School is just one of those things a lot of people take for granted until you can't go (in most situations; sometimes school is just genuinely horrible).
BUT, good news!! I have some meds now, so hopefully I'll be able to make it for my anatomy test tomorrow =]

I just know that soap hides behind the kitchens door sometimes when he sees Ghost coming, jumps Infront of him to scare him and receives the most jaw moving, dream crushing punch right in to his face as his protons and neutrons starts decreasing and lossing mass with the force of the punch.

Lark goes to underground boxing tournaments when things have been too quiet and his skin is too tight because he hasn't slept in days, waiting to be needed to fight and bleed and sacrifice.
It wasn't right away, but Nick finds out. He doesn't try to stop him. He doesn't lecture or ask why or try to talk him out of it. But he starts showing up with wrap for Larks busted knuckles and iodine for his cuts. Sometimes they don't even talk, Nick just simply wraps Larks hands, with as much care as he can possibly put into every inch of gauze.
Sometimes he'll heckle Lark for wincing as Nick dabs his bloody cheek. "You took three shots to the ribs and grinned. You can't take a little cotton swab?"
"You don't have to be here ya know," but Lark would turn his head letting Nick clean the worst of the blood by his ear.
One night Lark catches Nick at the door before he can even go in.
"Oh hey, man. Whats up?"
Lark doesn't say it. Doesn't say how tired he is or how much his bones won't settle or how far gone his thoughts are most of the time. He doesn't try to explain why every time he sees Nick coming to clean him up off the mat, he thinks maybe he could just let go of this need for structured chaos. Though he doesn't try because he doesn't understand it himself.
"Thought we'd change it up for tonight," Lark doesn't look at him but bounces anxiously on the balls of his feet. "Ya want to get a bite to eat?"
Nick stares at him for a long time as if trying to solve a particularly tricky math problem. But then he just shoves his hands into the pockets of his leather jacket and grins that same grin that makes Lark need to look away.
"Burgers beat the smell of iodine any day. Yeah."
Nick never tried to stop him, never told him off or made him feel small for needing something to feel more centered. He only came and made sure Lark didn't do it alone. It wasn't something Lark had to fight for, it just was. Maybe he didn't have to fight for every scrap of just being.

um hi s! i'm back again thinking about tj and andy. i feel like they would meet at some random dive bar (i'm just going to pretend andy is divorced and never had a child). andy had a horrible day at the office and is a lot more than stressed. he needs to get work off his mind and defiantly needs some alcohol, not alone in an empty house. and tj happens to stumble in after having continuous fights with his parents and unhealthy coping mechanisms the whole week. he would innocently walk up to andy and instantly needs him.
oh gosh... tj just needs reassurance and support, but instead, he would rather get fucked by some random older guy he's never met and not think about everything horrible going on in his life. they would fuck the same night they met. andy purely can't help himself and loses any last bit of self-control. he hates himself for doing it, but he can tell tj is a good kid and needs someone, even if at that time it's only a one-night stand.
- bf showing anon (per usual i'm sorry this is so long)
related to this
Hi, sweets!
Tumblr media
He shouldn't.
Tumblr media
He can't.
Tumblr media
The fucking kid is so young.
Andy's too old for him. Andy's too tipsy to take someone home even if that someone was his own age. But the kid is looking at him with this heat, and the alcohol in Andy's veins is burning, too, and really...
He can't stop this.
It's out of his hands even though it really, really fucking shouldn't be. He should have more self-control.
Yet...
He doesn't.
At least, Andy knows it's a bad decision as it unfolds with the kid's lips hot on his and trailing filthily down toward the collar of his buttoned up shirt while his hands paw at his tie. Andy's still kissing back, though. He knows this is stupid. He's gonna hate himself in the morning--he already hates himself for this--but...
He's too enraptured.
Shit.
Andy's a goner the moment he looks at those sweet eyes and that perfect mouth, and he feels the longing coming off of TJ in waves. And he continues to be a goner, no, more than a goner. Andy's doomed to repeat this terrible decision again and again; he knows it the second the crown of his cock finally pops into TJ's tight rim now that they're through Andy's front door and are sprawled out on the wood floor.
His length slides in nice and slow and wet. Andy isn't small. Jesus. This kid takes cock like a fucking champ. The only complaint Andy gets is an expression of pleasure, not pain. TJ chokes out this high, fuck-me whine that's almost incomprehensible but is supposed to be, "Ah! Ohgod-!"
It's all Andy can do to shut his eyes tight, growl, and bite down on TJ's still-clothed shoulder. How did this kid fall into his fucking lap? What did he do to deserve this piece of heaven? He hasn't been good. He'll take what he's got, though.
Never apologize for sending in long asks, I love them 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Why do I see so many people not wanting the majority of Batman villains because they want a 'realistic Batman universe'. Watch the Dark Knight trilogy if you want fully realistic. I wanna see Killer Croc. I wanna see Dr Freeze. I wanna see Superman or other heroes too. If the MCU gets to have aliens and people with superpowers, so do we. Since when was DC 'realistic'. As if people are begging for a movie based on comic books and yet throw hissy fits when they take content from the comics that are 'too comic-like'. Bro what were you expecting from a new Batman universe. Batman. Who has the most known and most iconic, wacky villains. Who works on a team with superpowered beings. Are you reading Batman comics I don't know about or are you just not reading comics?
Also, I trust this new Batman universe to create a solid mix of both comic book wack and realism anyway. Do you realise how terrifying the Riddler was in The Batman? They made the whole serial killer thing so real that the first time I watched it, I genuinely was scared by the dude. The opening and the car scene where he beats Colson??? Bro watching that for the first time was traumatising. We knew who Riddler was, and we've seen so many interpretations of him, but this is the first one I've seen that I can say was actually eerie because it was realistic. It reminded me of all the true crime docs I watched, it felt so based on reality. It didn't once feel out of place, it was very grounding because it felt like it was taken from real life. Shit like that happens in real life. It was a nice change of pace to see that in a comic book film. Having said that, I'm still eagerly awaiting the villains who are less realistic, and seeing how this franchise would apply their powers to this world. They portrayed Riddler so well that I could see them doing a great job with it. Could you imagine how terrifying they could make Poison Ivy? It would be so cool.
When we see the scene of Batman walking through the crime scene in the beginning of the film, watch how everyone reacts to him, you realise how fucking strange it would be to see a dude dressed a Bat in real life. That scene was so realistic. The police's reactions were priceless. I want to see how Bruce and the public would react to an actual giant fucking talking crocodile man. I can visibly see Battinson's eyes and expression in my mind at that.
The city is flooded. It'd be a playground for Killer Croc. How many people got caught up in that water? Gotham's water, that's probably laced with chemicals and toxins. Near dangerous equipment, or whilst working in Ace chemicals? A powerplant with radiation? Or STEM students pulling all nighters in their classrooms, surrounded by serums and acids, etc. It's just been Halloween, how cold does Gotham get, being based on New York and all? How much of it would freeze? Would whole blocks become ice rinks? Would there start to be a pattern of what areas are starting to freeze over, only it doesn't look entirely natural. How would that amount of ocean water freeze that much and so quickly? It seems to be happening near pharmacies, hospitals, and science related buildings.
I want to to see Superman, fresh out of college and just starting out, landing shakily on a rooftop and offering a handshake with a shy, awkward half smile to Batman, who himself is only in his third year of being a vigilante. A truce of sorts. "I'm a fan of your ambition to help people". Whilst Bruce's mind is going a thousand miles an hour trying to process all of Superman's features and movements, trying to study him. An alien.
Bruce is very aware it's strange. I want to see him and Gotham react to how strange it is. You don't have to sacrifice either being realistic or accurate to the comics just to have one, you can have both as long as it's done well. I trust it to be done well in this franchise.

You wanna know something I hate? Saying “the sky is ugly today.” No, she’s not. the sky is beautiful, she’s one of the most encapsulating forces of nature around us. She can be so many colors, and even simply portray so many emotions.
With the wind and the clouds, she can create absolutely beautiful works of art. She’s the subject of so many paintings and even more art than she already is.
The sky is not ugly. The sky isn’t gloomy or bad out today. She is beautiful, and if you’re not able to find the beauty even in things like cold weather with many clouds, I think that says something. Something for you to figure out.

Random SVU Sheila Porter headcanon that I felt the need to post in other people's comment sections.
Recap:
Oh hey I don't know of a fic but headcanon time! Liv's at the mall with Elliot, Noah, Maureen and her kids. Buyers choice but I think EO are together and Elliot set up this little kid date bc he's a big old softy and wants the kids to know each other I think they probably did laser tag and Elliot played with the kids but Liv and Mo sat out bc Mo didn't want to and Liv has the bad ankle plus she gets enough of that stuff at work. It's like a week before Noah's birthday Just for context lol.
After the laser tag, EO wander off for a minute bc idk they have some flirty nonsense to get up to. Mo's walking down to the jungle gym with the kids (yes there's a jungle gym in the mall. It's a very cool one too) when Noah yells out "Grandma!" (In this reality Sheila's out of the psych ward and they've had some heavily supervised contact.) Mo's confused bc who is this lady? And why is she like the same age as Liv? But Noah's happy to see her so +
The rest below the cut lol. @rahleeyah here's your lesson to never encourage me to do this. 😘
And now the continuation:
So Mo stops and lets Noah say hi. The woman comes up and gives him a big smile and hug and introduces herself to Mo as Sheila Porter. "Porter?" Mo thinks "hmm…". Sheila's attention doesn't stray from Noah for long and she tells him she was just out shopping for his birthday even though she wasn't going to be able to see him until a while after but this is perfect bc she can give him his presents right now. She has a slightly excessive amount of too expensive presents that make Mo a little uncomfortable on Liv's behalf. She's never been captain of the Olivia fan club, but this is a LOT.
Mo's boys ran themselves over to the jungle gym which is within eyesight so it's just Mo standing there watching this lady fawn over Noah fawning over his presents when she hears Liv's somewhat feral voice boom out "What are you doing Sheila?"
Sheila's a little chagrined and shrugs and says "Sorry, I didn't know you were here and he saw me first," and a little under her breath, but not enough, "What was I supposed to do? Just walk away?"
"Yes. Sheila. That's exactly what you were supposed to do." Olivia says none too politely. Elliot's just as confused as Mo is but he's ready to take this lady out of need be, just based on Liv's whole vibe.
"It's okay Mom look!" Noah waves some of his expensive crap in the air, "She gave me my birthday presents early!"
Liv cocks an eyebrow at Sheila and Sheila just shrugs again. "I just wanted to make it special. Nine is an important year in a boy's life."
"Can Grandma Sheila come to my birthday party?" Noah asks obliviously.
"We'll talk about it later, Noah," Liv responds through clenched teeth "Say goodbye to Grandma Sheila. She has to go now."
Noah hugs Grandma Sheila and she holds on a little too long and a little too tight and after she *finally* let's go, she just kinda hovers, not leaving.
Olivia finally tells Noah to go on and play with the boys, but as he turns to leave she grabs Elliot's forearm and says quietly, "Go with him and don't let him out of your sight for one second. Don't even blink."
Elliot immediately jumps into action and starts to follow Noah over to the jungle gym, but his gate falters as he goes bc he's not too far away to hear Sheila say, "Come on Olivia, you know I'd never do that again." Even before that Mo knows from experience that it would have taken a swat team to get to that kid, but now Elliot looks like he's fighting the urge to pick up Noah and tuck him under his arms like a football and get him the hell out of there.
Once they're out of earshot, Liv abandons all pretense."Look Sheila, what you just did here is not okay. I could have you arrested for this. How do you think that would make Noah feel?"
"Olivia, that boy is my blood. I know you don't know what that's like, but you can't just keep him away from me," Sheila's gloves are off too.
"Leave now Sheila or you're leaving in a squad car," Liv's not bluffing and Sheila can see that too. She holds up her hands in mock surrender and turns and leaves.
"Olivia I'm so sorry, I had no idea she wasn't supposed to be near him," Mo's aghast. As a mother, she doesn't need to know the specifics of what this woman did to know that if it had been her she would have lost her fucking mind walking into that.
Liv touches her arm "It's okay sweetheart, it just never occurred to me that she would be here. She's not even from this area." Liv reassures her even as she is mentally calculating the odds.
They quickly make their way over to Elliot and make a pretty hasty exit from the mall after Liv reveals just one little bit of the Sheila saga: Sheila kidnapped Noah from a shopping mall when he was four years old. She might tell them more later after they're safely settled at Mo's house. Sheila's definitely not coming to the birthday party.
P.S. Turns out at their last supervised visit Noah told Sheila about the plans at the mall with the laser tag and the jungle gym. He doesn't even know the name of the mall or where they even are really so he couldn't have been specific. Did she scope out all of the malls in the area until she found one that matched the description? If so, why exactly? LMAO
Okay way too much but there you go LMAO.

Why I got back into Over the Hedge.
So I can't sleep, why not write.
Over the Hedge was for a while a movie that, up until a few months ago, has been relatively unimportant to me. I remember seeing it once when I was a kid, and I do remember playing the hell out of the video game (I even beat it once in an entire day one summer), and that's about it.
It was always a movie that I found good as a kid, and for a while I never went back to it because I didn't want my childhood ruined. Granted I usually grew up with a lot of Disney and Pixar movies, so bad childhood movies were going to be hard to come by. I guess the closest was I think Snow Buddies, but even then it's more generic than anything.
Okay, getting off topic, Over the Hedge I didn't go back to for a long time because I didn't want to think the movie was lame nowadays. Granted I thought about it a few times, mainly because I liked the names RJ and Ozzie, and I used them whenever I wanted to make a neat OC that I would inevitably forget about in less than two weeks, but aside from that, nothing really prompted me to go back, which eventually resulted in me pretty much forgetting about it.
That was until a few months ago...and it involved a certain fan-favorite Opossum.
You see, on Left 4 Dead, there's a workshop where you can play as other characters. They can range from meme characters, to anime characters, to video game characters, and of course, animated movie characters. That of course is where this starts.
I had to find a model that would replace either Francis or Louis since my friends were sick of the model I was using. In case you were wondering, I was using this model:
Tumblr media
Terrifying, I know.
It was funny to me at the same time. However, the biggest problem with it was that it was way too big and pretty much took up half their screens whenever they looked at me. So I had to find another model that would fit…I decided to use Louis this time, and then I found…this.
Tumblr media
I decided why not, got it, realized that it had the exact same issue with Thumper the Monster Bunny, yet ignored it for some reason, and with the model, we beat the challenge, and everything was fine. That was until I really started thinking about it.
Why did Heather of all characters get a model in this game? In fact, while doing research for this video, it turns out she's the SECOND DreamWorks character to have a Left 4 Dead 2 character model, and the first was Shrek. Speaking of which, she now has TWO character models for survivors, and she's only second to Shrek who has only three.
LET ME REPEAT, SHE IS SECOND TO SHREK.
Anyways, this really got me thinking about what was the whole appeal of her, because I recently rewatched the movie and let me tell you, she probably has the least amount of screen-time in the film. Yet, she's the only one of the cast to have a model in Left 4 Dead 2 (at least until Ozzie was also ported), that was also ported to GMod?
That's when I started to look at the fandom more, and I realized that last year the subreddit had a bit of a resurgence when it came what I like to call "Heather-posting".
Tumblr media
Posts about Heather were all over the subreddit, and not only that, they were some of the highest upvoted there. The image I'm providing is only the second highest, with 265. Granted that doesn't seem like much compared to others, but it's still noticeable. In fact, Heather is the main focus of nearly half of the highest upvoted posts.
Not only that, she's also fairly popular on DeviantArt, and even more surprisingly (and also thankfully), there's no...weird stuff involved there I've seen.
Have you ever heard the term "Ensemble Darkhorse" in TV Tropes? It's when a character who is rather minor or unimportant to the main plot get a massive following. Heather pretty much ticks all those boxes, and it's probably one of the most surprising ones I've seen.
How powerful is it overall? Well, I actually decided to make a character based on Heather and put her in a Hell's Kitchen roleplay. I didn't exactly expect to get far, or even really be that noticed.
Tumblr media
Heather actually won.
She won.
Not only that, she actually had two people have a crush on her, one male, one female. That's actually wild.
In the midst of all that however, it resulted in me taking another look at the movie itself, finally looking to see if it lived up to the vindication it had been receiving recently.
Turns out that yeah, it's still a great movie. It's not going to be better than something like The Last Wish or Shrek 2, but it's a film that, in my opinion, has no real flaws. Maybe the cast could be a bit smaller, like remove the porcupine family so there could be some more screentime for Heather and Ozzie, since they're the two more popular characters compared to them. Despite this, the cast itself is likable, the story is easy to follow, the satire and visual humor is really funny, and man for Dreamworks film the movie looks absolutely GORGEOUS.
Of course, there's also the banger music, with Heist and Family of Me being my two favorite songs in the film, and it always inspires me to write about the gang and their wacky hijinks.
Oh yeah, the writing stuff. Yeah, I never actually wrote a lot of Fanfiction in my life, I usually kept it original for the most part. I think the only thing Fanfiction-y I've ever wrote was some absolutely hot dog water, dumpster fire trash about...
Sonic OCS.
I'm shivering just thinking about it.
Regardless, my writing has improved a ton, so at the very least I could do the gang justice by not looking like I just half-assed my writing whilst working on writing comedy, which is a style I've never tried before.
And let me tell you, it is really fun to do.
So yeah, what started as a simple dive into a character that I didn't expect to be popular, soon turned into a genuine appreciation for a movie that had at one point been treated as merely an afterthought, as well as a new love for writing comedy detailing the wacky misadventures of some fun characters.
That is why I got back into Over the Hedge.
Speaking of which, I've also been collecting some old merchandise from Over The Hedge, and let me tell you, some of that is real interesting...

Stop blaming children and dogs when a bite happens, blame the owner for allowing that situation to happen in the first place.
I just saw a story of a Karen happy her two year old granddaughter got bit by her adult dog in the face… she left her curious grabby grandbaby alone with a old dog that is already about of a aggressive dog breed that has apparently had tried showing dominance over the kids in the family in the past.. yet somehow she thought that was a smart idea 🙃
But her post went along the lines of:
“ my furbaby bit my grandbaby in her face and it might scar, now my son in law is blaming me and saying he won’t let my grand baby around my dog because he says the dog is dangerous. When my grand baby { I’m not gonna put the baby’s name } was pulling his hair, it was a valuable lesson she needed to learn.”
People in the comments were saying how the poor dog was being abused by the child, saying the baby deserved it, being pretty sexist + misogynistic about this baby girl, many claiming that it’s a lessened learned and blah blah blah 😑
Here’s the thing ppl love blaming the dog or blaming the child.
NO
It’s normally neither fault.
It’s the owner’s fault
If you think your child might be aggressive towards kids, don’t bring them around kids.
If you see your child or another child making an animal uncomfortable, remove the animal or child from the situation.
If you see a child harming an animal and you do nothing what happens next is on you.
If you leave an animal alone with a child and something happens that’s on you.
If you don’t teach your kids gentle when touching animals or other babies, it’s on you.
If you don’t just WATCH them when animals and kids interact it’s on you.
Don’t leave small babies or toddlers all alone with an animal.
A baby/small kid is gonna grab stuff and an animal is gonna bite or show it’s discomfort if hurt.
A dog gonna dog and a baby gonna baby.
That’s why it’s on YOU as an owner to be smart and responsible so such situations do not happen.
You need to be the responsible one in the situation.
I see so many TikTok’s and posts of people saying how they let their either untrained pet around kids, left a child alone with the animals or was letting a child harm the animals in some way and did nothing until something bad happened.
It is on the owner for not being responsible, they are the one hurting their pet and the child truly at the end of the day because it’s the owner, the adult who know better.
Stop blaming the kids.
Stop blaming the animals.
Start blaming the irresponsible owners.
