is it a new start? - 6th August, 2023

waking up was hard today, but i managed it anyways.

mom was trynna wake me up since 7 am, then dad tried to wake me up at 8.

nothing worked. lol. i woke up at 11 am later. all alone at home. this is the first time in past month that i have woke up so late. probably cuz i was suffering from migraine.

i didn't have breakfast when i woke up. i just sat there for a while. then i took my phone and opened daraz to do nothing but scroll.

while scrolling i saw a mini thermal printer and i remembered that i want one.

i wanted it in a good price, but every product was too expensive on it's own. forget about free thermal paper rolls with them.

so i started a search on it, hoping to find something along the lines of what i want.

now i wouldn't say it. but almost miraculously i stumbled onto a store that was FULL of mini thermal printers. ngl i was happy that i found it cuz now all of them are from bangladesh, so i didn't have to worry about getting delivered a month later lol 💀

so now i went from the store's lowest price to highest price fiter and luckily i FOUND IT! i found one that sold the printer with 3 free thermal rolls in only 1810 bdt!

it was better than other products and stores in ALL factors. now i just needed to find a good thermal roll package 👀

AND guess how LUCKY i was in the morning! that store had thermal rolls too!

now that was not the best part. i had to find the best deal too. so i started searching anddddddddddddd the best deal i found was 10 thermal rolls at 448 bdt…. in normal price it was supposed to be 500 bdt, but the others were too expensive so it was the only reasonable price. but THEN i found ANOTHER package in their store that sold 20 thermal rolls at 553 bdt.

DID YOU HEAR THAT??? BRUH.

that was supposed to cost 1000 bdt but they ONLY PRICED IT 553 bdt! now that's a HUGE save.

now i went to the cart to see how much the total was.

ANOTHER good news. the delivery charge was FREE cuz the products were over 500 bdt from their store + i got 32 bdt extra discount lol.

so i thought "the delivery charge is free here, so i guess i could shop my nail polish from another store" and went on to the nailpolish store i was following.

i've been growing out my nails for the past 5 days, just cuz mom kept scolding me every now and then for literally finishing my nails by biting. it's not my fault cuz i bite my nails naturally whenever i think a lot. but tbh i fkn hate my own habit.

so anyways i went to the store and chose 4 nail polish that i thought would fit me and went back to cart.

ALSKFASLDFKASJFLASJKDFLK I WHAT-

the delivery charge was FREE from BOTH stores!!! PLUS they gave me a total of 100 bdt discount BRUH.

i swear i never found a better offer in my life. i WILL get this. no matter what.

but there were two things i had in mind-

i can't get these things SO easily like vini vidi vici. because the total was 3000 bdt and my mom DEFNITELY WON'T buy me so many things, that even SO expensive.

i didn't wanted these that easily either. i'd like a challenge.

so i waited till mom came home. we had snacks and all.

then i offered mom to buy me everything i have in cart if i can get good grades.

she said she wouldn buy not only what i have in cart BUT ALSO add MORE if i want to and she'll buy me EVERYTHING.

the only condition is - I have to get 80+ in ALL SUBJECTS in this model test.

welp. guess what. i accepted the offer in no hesitation.

now i MUST get 80+ in ALL my exams. nothing else fucking matters.

---

it's 4 pm now. mom didn't make lunch, so now i'm hungry :^

nvm i'll manage.

i've been writing all this pausing my studying lol. i was too bored solving geometry questions so this was a good break!

i'll get back to studying now after freshing myself up.

---

so i didn't study anymore after that but i sure had a good time working. i didn't waste my time on messenger (scrolled for sometime on daraz tho) so it was easier for me to not get distracted.

i also managed to get 3 new citation source which is great!

it was a good day. but i wish for better tomorrow! :)

good night <3

Honestly I looked like shit just a few years ago and I was sick of it. Was sick of cutting my hair off just because other people didn’t deserve the full me.

Not anymore. I made myself a promise that I am going to be hotter at 40 than I was at 35. So far, that promise to myself is definitely working. Got my dark and shiny hair all growing and not givin a fuck n shit. Letting the real me out.

Uh oh. On my 40th bday I will again transform into my human version.

Grab yo clits n dicks n hide!

Guess what? Since I have a birthmark on my face, I would have been burnt at the stake if this was our crazy Salem witch trial days over here. It was the mark from the devil, the mark of a witch. At first they’d look at your fuggin crotch area for one. Then between your inner thighs was another beloved area for them to find a birthmark and of course, your face. It was too easy. Fuckin cuckooocuckooo! Type O shit. Yea, them fuckin pervertfucks. They REALLY just only wanted to stick the head in right? It wouldn’t count if they “barely” fucked a witch, right?Hahahaha

Not just letting their dick’s get hard watching and listening to her gutteral screams for their pleasure. Who cares if she’s being burnt alive, after all, it’s all that similar sound they want… right? That’s the sound of obedience. Itthe proof that they got you. I’m not oblivious go why people do what they do. I’m always going to be that asshole out of nowhere, that knows everyone’s untold secrets and tells them for everyone to hear. Because I am the fly on the wall, I am best friends with the pink elephant in the room.

If they couldn’t experience fucking the devil the normal way, then they’ll get it the easy way. For men only, of course. Because men will always have the say. They’ll always be the ones with the regular type of power. Yea. Is regular good though? Regular equals boring to me. You only took it because that power had real flames you could see. I was never mad. Just jealous af. I think that was my first time ever experiencing true jealousy. It was an INTERESTING feeling, I will give you that. I actually never realized I hadn’t actually experienced jealousy before. I guess I never really thought about it. Which is kind of lucky to never experience jealousy for your entire life until then. BUT I had witnessed it and saw what jealousy was countless times. I always was like wtf is that? Why are they acting like that or doing that? Since it’s the EASIEST thing to see, apparently one of the most difficult human things to deal with, to the point where it’s legit acceptable to do that in public.

Fuckin weird shit dude.

Btw here’s a funny thing.. so my favorite vape liquid is made at the cape. Everything else is pure garbage and chemicals. So my mom has been texting me if I want her to grab it for me. Which tells me she’s already at the store for some reason 🤔🤔 She texts me photos of new vapes from the company I like. Welp, you can only do that if you’re ALREADY THERE!! Lol Mumzy wtf u doin over there in Hyannis ey? What u doin at DASHOP MOM?

It’s also way cheaper there because ppl in Fitchburg are greedy, drug-ridden motherfuckers and they need tobrack up the price to make their lives worth living here. Of course, for most, undeservingly.

So, fuck you Fitchburg, suck it. My allegiance is in Sterling. AND I Will NOT BUY YOUR second hand, MIDDLE MAN APPLES!!! That come from Sterling! Bow down to us! We are the apple gods!!!

,,,what’s the best way to tell your followers you’re alive? by writing a terrible shitpost and proceeding to post it- anyway,,, i’m back,,, here we go, this is the terrible thing that my friends have forced me to write,,,! ;w; also do read the tags and the important note right below it if you want a vague understanding of the terrible thing i wrote-

IMPORTANT: it curses and if that effects you in anyway,,, please do not read! also, there is a mention of a “Jesus simp” and i am not trying to make fun of any religion! please do not take it seriously, my friend just had an encounter with someone and wanted me to write a terrible fanfiction,,, haha this was terrible-

[ there is also context under the cut, after the shitpost! ]

shitpost under the cut! vv

When I opened up Tiktok, I wasn't expecting him. He was what I would call a Jesus simp, which I almost found hilarious. As I scrolled through Tiktok mindlessly and made ridiculous comments, he replied. He once commented that people should love Jesus, to which I easily responded with, "I honestly preferred girls more."

To my surprise and almost horror, he responded to me, "Jesus loves you." There was an emoji of the cross and a red heart, which almost made me want to bend over and wretch. But I did no such thing as I returned with, "welp he's about to get friend zoned cuz that relationship is one sided", followed by a hand and a neutral face. I thought that would be the end of that, but it was only the beginning.

He had the audacity, the gall to say, "Jesus still loves you" followed by the same cross emoji and red heart, which made me widen my eyes with shock. Any normal person would ignore my comment, but he seemed determined to tell that Jesus loved me. Perhaps, that was his way of telling me that he loved me. That warmed my cold, dead heart. Not. It didn't at all, and it really made me want to torment this Jesus simp. Perhaps if I got him to leave me alone, he'd shut up.

With a quick response of "LEAVE ME ALONEEEEEEE" with no emojis and all caps, it was sent. It was quiet, and I thought that I had gotten that Jesus simp off my back. I placed my phone down, seeming to have achieved victory. Only thirteen minutes later, my phone buzzed and the notification on my home page was about the Jesus simp, who had responded with "I am leaving you alone" with an emoji that had an eyebrow raised. That wasn't all, however, as the dreaded "Jesus loves you" followed after with those same emojis. I wanted to concede defeat, but I was already so emotionally invested with confusing this Jesus simp that I decided that I simply could not end it there.

I shook my head, quickly typing onto the thread, "NOOOOOOO FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFF", before considering that this Jesus simp might like me, but is too shy to say so and used his role model to express his love. I comment right after, "but hey....... you seem really persistent about Jesus loving me... does he really?" A minute later, my phone pinged me and I saw a sweet and short "Yes lol" from that Jesus simp. I doubted it; either this simp believed it or was playing a trick on me, to which I could easily believe it was the former.

Perhaps if I were to say something scandalous, the Jesus simp would stop pursuing me, so I asked, "are we about to kiss RN" accompanied by a flushed face emoji. In reality, I did feel a bit embarrassed that perhaps this person I perceived as an enemy might be a friend, or perhaps even more. That line of thinking was shut down as that goddamn Jesus simp answered with "Nope" and the infuriating response of "Jesus loves you" that was always followed by the same cross emoji and red heart, which either mean that this Jesus simp was dedicated into saying Jesus loved me, or that it was a copypasta. I hardly cared to differentiate the two, at this rate.

To be extra dramatic, I cried, "I've been rejected" tailgated by a whole bunch of blowing nose emojis, confounded emojis, and crying emojis. For good measure, I wrote, "guess you'll just miss out on this WAP" which was followed by a good amount of pensive face emojis. Wet ass pussy, worship and prayer, what was the difference? I followed that up with "worship and prayer" with a sprinkle of weary face emojis.

He didn't respond, and I almost felt genuinely hurt. I wanted to cry. I liked this Jesus simp, even if I didn't want to admit it. So at the last moment, I wrote, "I think im falling for you..." I felt serious at that moment. I really did like this guy's persistence. I waited and waited and waited for my perhaps lover's response, only for there to be none. I slumped over, mulling in my defeat. I got him off my back, but was there a price to pay? Of course, there was, and it was my one-sided love, the same way how Jesus had a one-sided love with me.

#moth posts #i wrote a terrible thing #i was also multitasking while writing this terrible thing #twas a shitpost #i don't really like cussing cause i wanna be friendly #mentions of religion #if you don't vibe with that #swearing #if you also don't like that #i can understand #zoyo forced me to do this #my friend allowed me to post the context #i'm crying in the bathtub #i might post more of these if my friends force me to write even more of this #please don't send hate #and also don't attack anyone in the context #we're trying to have a good time #read the things i write please i put effort into them #descriptions and such

Oof Lady... your "guilt tripping" isnt gonna make us do the return...

LONG fuck-customer story! The lady stood there arguing us for 20 mins so i’ll try to condense it but the tl;dr at the end

So it wasn’t busy but it was a steady flow for 2 of my 5 hour shift. Right before my break I get a daughter with her baby and the daughter’s mother wanting to return an iRobot. They state that it was not charging and just wanted to exchange it. No problem! I asked for the receipt but they didn’t have one it was off the daughter’s wedding registry. Also not a problem i just need the registry # and i can located it and do the return/exchange…..here’s the long ass excuse given to me…I’ll mention it once here but the mother of the daughter repeated it SEVERAL TIMES throughout the whole 20 mins with me and my manager:

So the grandparents of the daughter saw the iRobot on tv and purchased it at a different location for her wedding. BUT they didnt get it scanned off the registry b/c they “were bad at technology and such”. So the mother took it off the gift registry so that no one else would buy the daughter one since she already got it.

The grandparents didn’t get a gift receipt or even saved the receipt b/c our old policy was that you can return anything even without the receipt. But since then we changed our policy at 3B’s to where you can still kinda do that (it has to be within a year of purchase date) but any electronic item with a cord with NO receipt we have to refer you to the manufacturer or vendor b/c we literally CANNOT take it back anymore.

when i told them that they were NOT happy but the mother mostly argued us while the daughter stood to the side (so we are mostly dealing with the mom). I called my manager the first time she told me this story/didnt accept my explanation of our policy. She tells the story again with more of an attitude. The manager told her the same thing i told her and she just starts guilt tripping us??

here are some of the things she was saying (along with restating how the grandparents didn’t KNOW and that they arent good at things like this)

“They (the grandparents) wouldnt have even bought this if not for your policy of them being able to return it anytime!”

“I cant believe this! Im not dealing with the vendor that will take TOO LONG!”

“We dont even want MONEY we just want to exchange!” *the iRobot was an older version and aged so we didnt carry that version (since it is discontinued) Also it was HEAVILY used so i doubt it just “stopped charging” and it just stopped working b/c it’s old. -_-

(this is the guilt tripping she started using)

“is this gonna happen with EVERY item on the wedding and baby registry? b/c then we MIGHT as well just RETURN all of those items and not deal with this anymore” *lmao ok lady if you wanna do that just bring the receipt*

“We have used 3B forever! We came here BECAUSE of the return policy but apparently that CHANGED?? I guess we just have to find another store to frequent..” *our company changed the policy b/c we were LOSING money with our old policy but if you wanna complain go talk to them loool*

“NO ONE EXPLAINED THIS TO US BEFORE *the policy changed happened 9 months ago* SO THAT’S NOT REALLY OUR FAULT” *first of all even if we could return it you would still be getting less b/c it is an aged item and you have no PROOF of what you/the grandparents’ paid so there was no happy ending to this at all lol*

I’ll end it there b/c this is too long a story but she kept this up for 20 mins b/c i was eyeing the clock and wanted to go on break LOL

End of story: my manager tried to see what he could do but since it was aged and all that she really only could get back 75 bucks when it was 299.99 brand new lol. Plus new models that replaced that model were priced at 699.99. She did NOT like that. Continued guilt tripping and finally gave up and asked for our company number and my manager’s name (even tho he was gonna break the rules and try to do the return even if they were gonna only get 75 bucks for it…) and after they left with one more comment of never shopping here/with our company again, my manager turned to me and goes “welp i guess im gonna get a call on that one soon” LOL he wasnt even worried haha i told him ill back him up on trying to do everything to help them but im not worried it’s not our fault that they took it off the wedding registry or keeping the receipt (like if anything you buy is over 300 bucks why NOT keep the receipt just in case something happened??? that’s just stupid as shit). If they had the receipt or ANY proof of purchase they would have totally gotten the 299.99 (or like 310 whatever the tax was on it) back no problem.

Keep your receipt ppl especially on very expensive items!

TL;DR: Mother with daughter and daughter’s baby want to exchanged a heavily used iRobot saying it “just stopped charging”. New Policy says we cant even accept electronic items with cords anymore - we have to give the customer a vendor number and they have to deal with them. Mom was appalled and tried to guilt trip us and argue for 20 mins with manager. Manager actually went above and beyond to see what he could do but lady would only get 75 bucks for it b/c it was an aged model. Lady did not like this, continued to rant and guilt trip us until giving up and vowing to “not shop with our company anymore” b/c of this…

Planet With 6 - 8 | Cells at Work! 6 - 8 | Phantom in the Twilight 6 - 8 | BnHA 57 - 58 | Angolmois 6 - 7

Planet With 6

“Are you a monster?” - Who’s the real monster in this show, though?

A Clog Punch is even more hilarious than a standard Giga Cat Hammer, haha.

The bad guy died! What the heck’s going to happen from here???

Cells at Work! 6

Smol RBC-senpai is so cute! Not as much as smol RBC herself, but…yeah. I wonder if smol WBC is around as well…?

This story’s a lil’ hackneyed, but nothing that doesn’t twang the heartstrings a little…

I love how the sensei WBC still has blood on his arm as he walks away.

The banter between the NK and the Killer T cells really gets to me. It’s so good!

Angolmois 6

Dang, I liked Yajirou. Now he’s dead…

Where did Teruhi get the cloth for Yajirou’s (I presume) head…?

I find it interesting how he (Onitakemaru) dragged the old man merchant with him and yet went to the extent of plundering the treasure without the intent of keeping it. It’s like he did the plundering as a show of strength…

I’ve realised that even though Planet With’s been getting better and better, this show’s starting to sink. Sure, the staff on this show are giving me everything I asked for, but the shine of a new anime is starting to wear off…That montage just proved why it sunk – it’s more willing to go for a quality drop in the middle of the plot.

It was way too dark in the scene that revealed Teruhi’s face being up against Kuchii’s. It took me a bit to realise that was happening…

The water in that river looks a bit odd.

“Akimado firefly” gets me zero relevant Google results.

Now that I think of it, Nagamine’s kinda hot, LOL.

Come to think of it, I still haven’t got a bead on whether Teruhi has the hots for Kuchii or not. If it’s the former, then this show would be quite disappointing. Plus, are these invaders all Mongols from China, Mongols from Mongolia (duh) or Mongols from Europe? They did have gunpowder, which is from China, but they also said the Mongolians had invaded Europe at this point…

Phantom in the Twilight 6

*sees ep 7 title* - “Awakening of the Century”? Not on my watch, no. Probably not.

Why are they only progressing the plot now? Not that I didn’t like the Roland story, but…c’mon, if your friend is in danger, you shouldn’t derail from that. Right?

Notably, the group is called “midnight sun” (katakana), but the episode is called mayonaka no taiyou (kanji/hiragana).

Karandi mentioned how she loved how faithful this show was to the past folklore of supernatural creatures and now they��re using that to the show’s advantage…huh.

Oh, hey. Next episode preview gave spoilers…that’s just like a next-ep preview, actually.

BnHA 57

Noticeably, Yoarashi is pretty obvious with his giant whirlwind…

Haha, Deku is quoting All Might verbatim from the video!

Welp, there wasn’t much to say this episode…

Cells at Work! 7

This cancer cell looks like Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul)…interesting choice.

They decided to deviate from the serious plot for the platelets. I give it 10 out of 10!...Nah, just kidding.

*Killer T helps NK get up* - I can see why Negative Primes ships NK and Killer T Cells together now…

I forgot what the cryptic-speaking green-covered cell (not a dendrite, but the other guy) was called…I think he might’ve been a B cell, but that’s all I remember. Sorry.

I can’t believe I’m feeling sympathetic for a cancer cell…

Planet With 7

I like how even Ginko still has secrets up her sleeve right now.

Hmm…it seems the hypnosis didn’t work because Nozo-san is wearing glasses.

Benika and Yousuke seem to have been hypnotised, this isn’t like them!!!

Phantom in the Twilight 7

I find it interesting Vlad chose to use Chinse martial arts. Either Toryu taught him, he learnt how to do them from Rijan or he learnt from Chinese people over many, many years. I think the second option is the most probable.

Why can’t the underlings see Kabocha-kun (Kabocha-kun = the jack o’ lantern)?

Toryu does the Naruto run. He’s not even a ninja!

The OS kind of looks like Windows, but with the taskbar being a colour of a Mac…plus the top bar of a Mac.

The green lines of text that appear on the screen are just gibberish, by the way. They’re not code…

*Chris punches Luke to get him out of the way of the falling debris* - I laughed a lot harder than I should have at that…because that shows they’re concerned for each other…in a very roundabout sort of way.

Oh no, Kabocha-kun!

What?! Van Helsing’s hair wiggles of its own accord! It’s basically alive!

Eyy! Extra info! That’s what I watch these after-episode segments for!

“You’re giving away the second half of the season!” – Hmm…

*after the next-ep segment is completely over* - Hmm…so Ton has her hair change colour and lose her memories. The Price of Power = The Price of Loss. Hmm indeed.

Angolmois 7

Ho-Holy mackerel! My knowledge of Touken Ranbu swords is coming in handy! Imanotsurugi is the lil’ grey-haired shota (tantou) who dresses like a tengu. That means this Kurou man is more simply known as Minamoto no Yoshitsune!

Seriously, this emperor looks like an alien! An alien, I tell you!

At first I didn’t recognise the guys with the facial marking were Toibarai, but then I saw Nagamine and I was like, “Oh. Okay then.” Come to think of it, these Mongolians look like the Earth guys from Avatar…

I find it interesting the Toibarai – or at the very least, Nagamine – are literate. You’d think in a time like 1274 there’d be a lot more illiteracy…or maybe I’m just thinking about Western civilisation…

“The abalones are a tougher opponent.” – I like these ladies already. Not only because that’s such a funny line, but because tough lady fisherwomen with tans is probably more representation than an entire genre of ecchi anime can do for women.

Apparently a porgy is a type of fish…hmm. It sounds silly.

Come to think of it, Jinzaburou was right once bfore when everyone else stood against him and that was when he got thrown out of Sou Sukekuni’s meeting…which doesn’t spell good things for Kanatanoki, y’know.

Cells at Work! 8

Man, I had to memorise the circulation path years ago! Too bad I don’t remember how it goes anymore…

I like how the blood cell mascot is actually shaped like an RBC.

I only just noticed, but female RBCs in this show have booty shorts and male ones have pants. Why can’t it ever be the other way around…?

Hmm…the tricuspid valve is shown as a torii gate. Interesting choice.

*platelets try to put up posters while talking to WBC* - Excellent usage of platelets. 10/10!

I was wondering what the cell’s seal said…close inspection reveals it just says “cell” on it. I guess I should’ve figured that out without having to zoom in on the image, eh?

“…you spineless candy-ass!” – That’s a hilarious insult! Who the heck thought of it and what’s the Japanese equivalent of it???

BnHA 58

A special…? This is almost as bad as a recap episode if it’s all recycled…

…uh, wow. That All Might was more meta than I was expecting.

Oh, I get it now. Movie promo episode. So that’s what this is.

For some reason, I find Toshinori going “Dave” hilarious. I don’t know how to explain it. Maybe it’s because he looks American.

“Save the World With Love!” brings to mind Boueibu, y’know? Good times…

*All Might comes in through the back door, flexing* - Muscle muscle, hustle hustle!

Oh my gosh, they went Detective Conan on us!

Suicide out of grief for what he’d (All Might had) done, maybe?

Oh yeah. Midoriya overlooked why the three potential culprits were separated and left in different parts of the store. Update: Nope, right thinking, wrong lead.

Planet With 8

Notably, 10 = to in some cases, hence Torai being 10.

Souya’s gone all Shinji Ikari on us! Not that I mind, but…Shinji is a polarising character for a reason, y’know!

Why does this story, with a potential final confrontation on the moon, remind me of Busou Renkin so much?

Phantom in the Twilight 8

“Why Shinyao specifically?” is the question I’m asking here. Why did Shinyao need to be kidnapped?

Has Ton even gone to school yet? Or rather, is it summer break in London and we were never told that?

“She entered forbidden territory.” – Says a worker at Café Forbidden!

I’ve never heard “stole a march on me” before…apparently it means “to gain an advantage over someone else”.

He uses a cat pickup line! He’s a werewolf! That’s…hilarious!

I’m still wondering if Shinyao has Stockholm syndrome to any degree…

The line about the abyss is Niestche (sp???). I’ve seen it quoted enough times to know.

Did they ever mention the fact Ton’s hair went back to normal? Or was all that hair-tossing meant to imply it was back to normal without saying anything? You’re trying so hard, show, but you’re not quite hitting the mark…

welp guess i’ll scan this entire saga now? investiture of the gods / FSYY / 封神演义

basically me and a friend saw the 2019 nezha movie, the movie literally has little note cards of “don’t leave the theater, we have another thing to show”

the first was just a little 1 minute joke about the gatekeepers and the water ghoul

the second was literally a trailer for the studio’s next movie, jiang ziya.

so my friend and i were talking about nezha and how we wanted to read fengshen yanyi / the investiture of the gods so we’re prepared for the uhhh investiture of the gods cinematic universe lol.

only to learn that, despite being a chinese classic that’s about 4000 years old, there is only 1 english translation. the eng version costs from $85 to $250. seriously, it’s listed as such on worldcat, a website for librarians and stuff.

so. thankfully, a neighboring college in our area has the books and i have decided to scan them. because why not. the price is wack. you can get the prose edda, the iliad, the odyssey, a 4 book boxset of romance of the 3 kingdoms, etc., with that kind of money! it’s p stupid.

also, i literally talked to a teacher at my school who studies east asian culture and she said that the fsyy isn’t as popular in china as, say, journey to the west. it’s also not very known here, but also with that ridiculous expensive price, i’m not surprised that the english translation isn’t sold in regular bookstores, and probably only kept in a small ring of academics. so, uh, this sounds like a positive feedback loop (in scientific terms) of being we took the time to translate this entire series into english but why won’t anyone buy it? -> expensive price leads to no bookstore having it ever -> why doesn’t anyone know that this book exists? -> to be fair ive never heard of this book until the donghua movie, but i would’ve also gladly gotten it since i love mythology junk, but its never been on a retail shelf ever -> why won’t anyone buy our book?

and then the cycle continues....

bluh iv kinda ranted about how annoyed i am rn w/ the exclusivity of this book so i’ll make a seperate post w/ the TOC and links to the pdfs once i put them up

Therapy/Counselling Diary #3- ish + 4 (plus some inter-related bits about monies and general stuff)

Ack! I um... I forgot what happened in the third appointment lolol I should really note things down straight away or in one of those neat diary apps on ze phone, they look so useful I should really just stop hesitating and try one really >^<

I had such a bad inner meltdown the other day, I was thinking for so long and deep while doing everything that day that I just don’t even ;; I zoned out thinking too hard while sitting on the toilet and showering even more than usual on a whole bunch of other days too lol... The things I thought were really bringing me down so low and the intensity of the negativity in there was so strong but I can’t let it mess me up and take me off track. It’s okay to get lost in though sometimes, but gotta make sure not to pull the gloominess and irrational into reality. I got past it, I’ll be okay! ^^

Imma just merge my regular kind of post with the therapy posts because why not (also I lazy lol). The reluctance and anxiety I get over thinking about writing these posts is so ughhh the mental effort needed is more than I have the capacity for .__. I’m so distracted and restless and haven’t been well at all, but I gotta get this done. It doesn’t matter if it sucks, just do it, it’ll be fine! ^^

Anyways, in that 3rd week in general I um... I made cookies! And not just once, but twice! Hell yeah! X3 It’s sounds lame but it’s a great accomplishment for me! It was fun and every time I ate a cookie I would think yay I made this! Too bad my parents weren’t all that interested but they did try a cookie each (both batches) and thought it was alright! :D I hope to actually wow them with something in future, huff huff gotta keep trying! Gotta put even more love into it! ^^

Okay, skipping to this week for now. I went for my fourth session and my homework from the previous week was to have had a look at hobby clubs or classes and to join one if possible. I looked but the only things I could really find were actual college courses (which cost big monies) and some really basic craft clubs to make small specific things. I can’t help but feel like the things done there can be done at home with some online tutorials and that it’d be wasteful to go but that obviously defeats the purpose of everything @^@”

She said to make sure that the club or whatever is something I really wanted to do/am genuinely interested in learning and to let the conversation practice sort of thing always just be something there on the side, so killing two birds with one stone. This was also in relation to something I said about feeling awkward well... when there’s awkward silences. Since I and the other person/people should be focusing on the task at hand, it won’t matter if conversation fades because it’s only secondary to why we’re there, just a side quest of sorts on my main mission.

So uh, I told her that those were the kinds of things I found, not a lot out there and that they costed money which brought me on to start looking up jobs a little instead. Looking at the required skills and qualifications parts of the job pages made me feel pretty awful as I lack so much, but I saw people say to just apply anyways and you never know, you could be perfect for it even if on paper you didn’t seem so. I came across some jobs with no requirements too which is like ding ding! But the reviews on them were not so good. I feel like I can do it, but at the same time I feel like I’m not ready at all, gotta keep taking baby steps for now to build my confidence and skills, it’ll be okay.

She showed me this diagram of uhh... it was a vicious cycle of negative thoughts..? I can’t remember perfectly but it was basically a cycle where your mind jumps the gun and catastrophizes and causes anxiety to flare. This just goes on to confirm all these bad feels and beliefs you have originating from past things and allows them to seep into current things and scare and hold you back and everything just loops infinitely. That was probably the worst explanation ever, my bad, but my laziness and terrible memory knows no bounds @_@”

I have seen this type of vicious cycle diagram before of course, but she explained it a bit more with an actual relevant example of an event or task I am or would do and how each step of the cycle relates to the workings of my thoughts then. Like to do with me avoiding doing stuff because I’m worried they won’t be perfect or turn out well or that I see myself badly because in the past that’s how I noticed people saw me (or assumed they saw me) and I keep believing it is going to be the same now (so I automatically assume the same again).

Oh! That’s something I went into a bit more, about people looking at me weirdly/not liking me. She asked how I could tell and I mentioned I’m really conscious of body language and stuff like them seeming disinterested, reluctant or with a sour expression when I try to talk to them and that it gives me the vibe that I’m undesirable to converse or look at. But she was able to unravel and dissolve most of that by saying how would I know that those expressions and behaviour are directly linked to me and that instead it could just be the person having a headache or a bad day and that even if they really are disinterested and reply half assed then well, so what... I am making the effort and if they don’t want to return it then it’s not my fault and it’s maybe not worth my time and I should just move on without taking all these self hurting assumptions and unimportant memories with me.

I do try to see things from others perspectives and sometimes I feel I am overly considerate but sometimes it’s just too hard when you’re just stuck inside your own head with all these bad thoughts and insecurities crushing you in and stopping you from seeing out. I want to not read in too deeply or to not misread others and to not forget to take care of myself and not be overly sensitive.

When my mind jumps to a negative assumption I’m gonna tell it to stand down and not try to dive deep into where it doesn’t need to be. Also with jumping to negative conclusions about doing things, I’m just going to try to not think about it and just do it instead and if I can’t refrain from thinking ‘what’s the worst that could happen?’, I am going to also ask myself ‘what’s the best that can happen?’ too. I say this like it’s magically gonna happen from now on but I know it’s not gonna be so easy, I gotta just keep reminding myself and let myself fall into a much healthier pattern, baby steps some more! A stampede of baby steps might happen all at once, who knows ^^

Ah! On the 3rd week (I’m jumping back and forth I know but oh well, as long as my memory gets sparked and running again haha) I think we discussed what I would like to focus on, as in one specific area (as she had to write it down on this form thing). It was a lil disappointing to know it had to be so specific or closed and we decided on just self confidence in general (and just being myself which just lead her back to just putting self confidence). I’m kinda iffy about it though but oh well, just be grateful silly me!

I plucked up the courage to mention I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to put forth and resolve all my deeper troubles and to again to ask her about whether having an actual diagnosis would be a useful thing (even though I know she cannot give one). I know it would be valuable to me and possibly of use with the financial help stuff but she was just kind of like hmmm... nope (and not to worry about it I guess). That was a bit of a downer but maybe if I really wanted to I could pursue one elsewhere later on somehow.

She said she feels I probably just have anxiety and am socially awkward. Hm... that definitely rings true and before knowing of AVPD that’s what I thought for sure. I guess it’s kind of nice in a way to not sound so bad? Or maybe she just doesn’t want me to self-prophecise (which I think I might have been doing all the while eep! xAx). Who knows what I have or what I am, giving myself a name or label to refer to might be a bad thing after all, maybe I’ll find out later on or maybe I’ll be able to get past all this without needing it or being it.

Um anyways, one of the things I was avoiding or kind of also forgot about is to apply for financial help (benefits) while I am unemployed and trying to get better. She used this as an example with the cycle diagram too. I was really stressing about it this week as she said to make sure to get it done for next week because without it (the monies) we wouldn’t be able to progress (pay and go to clubs or whatever and so grow some more socially and in confidence). I researched it more and I found another sort of option (as well as the other past option which I am going to ignore for now... bad me ><) and just well, after a long while of thinking all these negative outcomes and things just decided to kick all those thoughts and do it. I needed to do it and it is true, if I don’t try, I won’t know and I thought back to what she said which is that I do deserve it (because I keep feeling like I don’t even though my many struggles are indeed very real and valid .__.).

I did the phone call to start the benefits claim yesterday and it wasn’t so bad... I mean it sucked for sure, but well, it could have been worse I guess lol... The person on the other end kept talking fast and sounded out of breath and kind of accented, so many of the things they said was totally unclear and I had to say ‘pardon’ and ‘sorry what?’ about 20 times. Some things I still didn’t understand perfectly and the person was kinda unhelpful/unwilling to explain better even when I asked, which just felt like wthhh even, but welp I got through it anyways! :D I made sure to prepare all the info needed and to not overthink and just do it and I did it yay!!

Now comes the waiting for the actual form I have to fill in which I am so anxious about because of the amount of detail needed and it’s the super deep personal kind of details which I always struggle to express in any form. Then after that there’s a face to face assessment which is making me die just thinking about it x__x but... but, it’ll be okay, c’mon... I can do this!! I’ll never know if I don’t try! That’s the thought that kept pushing me lately, I gotta keep it in mind even more because it works pretty good (though I’ve ignored it a lot in the past or well, fear just always came first and eradicated any other thought pretty much, but that’ll change now!). The outcome may be bleak but I‘ve got to still hold onto the hope and to congratulate myself for trying even though it was hard, it was something!

I also emailed an online shopping place to see if they could reimburse the price difference on an item I bought recently which went on sale soon after which I really didn’t want to do, but my sis prompted me to as she’d seen many people try this with sometimes good results. So I did do it and even though I knew they were likely to not be able to do anything about it, at least I tried and that is something! I was scared to, but went for it. I mean their response still hurt a little, but it was mostly what I was expecting to get and was very professional.

I need to keep pushing myself to just try in all sorts of things. Even if it’s scary, even if it hurts to think about what might be the outcome, I just need to try or I’ll miss the chance for even good things to happen too.

My other sort of homework was to practice and actually help out with phone orders at my parent’s work place. This is something I’ve been wanting to do and something my parents have been wanting me to do for a long time but I’m just so scared of it, phone calls are just something I’ve always avoided in the past because I get so awkward and panicky.

In the session we did a small pretend/hypothetical phone order scene thing where she was the customer and I was prompted to just say what I would and it was easier than I thought kinda. I was jumping ahead and worrying about her asking certain things I often hear customers say (when other people answer it) but she never asked it. She told me I was working myself up by predicting something that may or may not even happen (just like in that cycle diagram). She said to be in the moment and not think past it, just go with the flow kind of thing and everything will be peachy and it’s well, pretty true if I think about other phone calls I’ve made like the one above where I was expecting them to ask certain things and was super anxious but they never even asked those things (or well not in the detail I was expecting) lol.

I think... I think I can do it. I mean, I know I’m capable. I just have to get past the fear of my family judging me, me asking them for help or me getting things jumbled and getting in trouble. I even tried to do another pretend practice conversation with my sis but neither of us took it seriously (or well maybe that was my fault for goofing around) and I wanted to look over the material so I was prepared but I just ahhh xAx I think I’m overcomplicating things again. There’s only one day left to try and then I’m at my 5th appointment. I’m worried she’ll be disappointed in me, but is’s just so nerve-wracking taking the first step into something scary like that. At least I’ll have done one of the two things I needed to do though. I need to psych myself up some more, toughen up and put all the negative behind me. I wonder if I’ll be able to do it before then... @~@ Maybe I’ll get my sis for more practice or moral support.

I’ve been wanting to try posting my other misc stuff on my other accounts and changed the name/urls again for the millionth time. I am a little happier with them than before but still iffy and overly anxious, over thinking to the max again. It’s true, I’ll never be happy and I’ll never move forward if I’m always second guessing myself, reaching for the unattainable perfection, being scared of failure, letting the past haunt me and the unforeseeable future scare me.

I made a small step forward and it was better than nothing. I am finally starting to see the worth in my creations, to see the beauty (uhh) past the imperfections and I wish I could say that about myself too but that’s going to need to take a long while more. As always baby steps, baby steps all the way until I can buy a fancy tricycle or one of those electric mini cars LOL XD

About the way I keep mentioning time and me wasting it, I mentioned this to the counsellor also and she helped me realise that no time is wasted and that there is nothing lost when meeting with failure either. Learning from mistakes, moving slowly, it’s all okay. If I can keep going, even if I screw up, I’ll have the knowledge to do better next time and I’ll prove myself wrong and break the cycle. I can do things, I can do everything I want to do, I just gotta believe in myself and not let the bumps on my journey slow me to a stop ^^

Wow this post grew quite a bit in length. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it! I’m sure there’s lots I’ve missed out, but it doesn’t matter, I feel I’ve done more than enough. I did it yay! Listening to the relaxing/concentration/meditation music really really works wonders! I still haven’t gotten round to making a nice playlist of it darn ><

Now to go worry about the phone order thing some more... :’< I kid, or am I srs ack! I’ll figure it out! Whatever happens, or doesn’t happen, I'll make sure to not be too hard on myself for it!

Time to try be more productive! Or maybe relax some more, who knows! Yolo! XD

Go go me! (and go go you!) ^^

#therapy #anxiety #social anxiety #depression #avpd #baby steps #feel the fear and do it anyways #prove yourself and everyone else wrong #no time is wasted if you're always learning #believe in yourself #you can do it!

Why Did I Choose My URL: Well, a long, long time ago, when I was in…. early high school? I had given my old twitter handle to a then-friend of mine, and I needed a new one. So I came up with this one – the ‘saveyourheart’ bit comes from a Mayday Parade song (favorite band at the time, not my favorite song from them though, so I’m not sure why I chose that of all things hahaha) and the ‘13’ is because it’s my second number of choice (my go-to number was associated with the other account, so, welp)

It’s funny, because I keep saying that I’ll change it, but I never do? I think I’ve just gone through so much with this username that I tend to stick to it hahaha though for newer accounts I’ve been using Nyxes instead

What Did My Last Relationship Teach Me: assuming this is in reference to romantic relationships or otherwise dating, I’ve got nothing lol never been in a relationship like that, so *shrugs*

Dream Job(s): ahhh in the almost-definitely-never-going-to-happen sense, I’d love to do something relating to video games. Writing about them? Hit me up. Making videos? Hit me up. Making them? I’d probably be bad at the coding, but hit me up anyways lol

Realistically speaking though? I’m going for forensic science now, sooo that’s a thing. I’d like to do digital forensics, but really I’ll take anything

And let’s tag.... @heir-of-breathmints, @yabilikehoney, @esdithequeen, @agenderchespin, @staurolith, @jakeburnsthings, and anyone else who wants to do this! As per usual, no pressure, this is only if you want to (and sorry (but not actually) for anyone I double tagged, you can choose one of the other if you really don’t want to do both haha)

#I was tagged #tag you're it #stuff about me

Mob Psycho II 9

So…uh…is this the first time we’ve had lyrics for the OP???

For some reason, “you little s***” is a hilarious nickname…in my head.

Is it just me, or did the style of Teruki’s eyes change when he got that stack of hair off his head?

My Roommate is a Cat 9

Please don’t let that random voice be the do-oh no. I was right *sigh* As much as I think dogs are fine and cute and all, this is a show about a cat, so naturally I feel diametrically opposed to dogs when watching.

Long ago, the writer and his cat lived in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Signing attacked! …Yeah. I couldn’t resist the Avatar pun…of course.

Aw…Kawase is a good guy, even if he’s a bit obnoxious to poor Haru.

As someone who’s currently volunteering at a charity store, I forget to say “thanks” all the time. It eats me up, it really does…

That post-credits sequence was funny, but only because I could read the “dying message” (it’s katakana ha <-> kanji hachi -> number 8).

Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka 9

Oh hey, a cheerleader stamp (sticker...?) from the Cheerleader vs Megaton Shark movie!

Wait, whaaaaaaaaat?! I thought Asuka was Tamara’s older sister (metaphorically), but…she’s nottttttttttttttt??? Also, why doesn’t Tamara get creeped out by the fact her stuffed toy could be a Disas in disguise?

Why is everyone so…for lack of a better term…gay for Asuka?! Even Tabira…

Ouch for Tabira. I’m just laughing because it’s like seeing SekaTsuyo or Bikini Warriors being torn up in front of my face – I’m thanking whoever made this for that image alone!

Cenobite. Basically…it’s another horror reference.

The Osprey stands out so much…CGI..it’s so garish…

Garish CGI strikes again, this time in the form of a 4WD!

Shield Hero 9

Naofumi’s such a dad…haha.

It’s a Filo-and-fish! Hahaha! (Update: I’m aware there are some of you who might never have heard of a Fillet-o-fish and so…there you go. It’s a McDonald’s meal name. It makes me hungry just thinking about it, to be honest though.)

Why does Motoyasu even care so much for underage girls? Sure, they have their rights too, but…is he a lolicon???

They talk about “white privilege”…so maybe there’s “hero privilege” as well…hmm…

Motoyasu’s “treasure-protection shields” versus Filo = 0 to 2, Filo’s victory! Hahaha!

Morose Mononokean 10

The idea of Rippou being amused by “a mundane world plank”…amuses me. So does the idea of Abeno and Ashiya walking around as a shingami and witch, respectively…Come to think of it, Ashiya’s always the one who dresses like a woman if the need arises, huh?

I feel sorry for Zenko, to be honest…I mean, she’s wearing what’s meant to be Abeno’s outfit! She’s going to trip, y’know? Where are the OH and S concerns (OH and S = occupational healh and safety, though...yeah, I make that mistake a lot)???

Come to think of it, I wasn’t tracking where Abeno’s book went. So he left it in the Mononokean…I see.

Poor Fuzzy! He got taken by Komon!!!

Smol Itsuki…I swear I’ve seen a similar character in a manga before – and somehow I know it’s a manga, but I don’t remember which one…

Double Decker! EX 2

Couldn’t you just ask “Milla” (even if he’s not a Police Academy graduate)? Pretend Valery is Kirill or something, maybe.

I can’t believe they’re still making jokes about Doug’s laundry…

I feel kind of bad at snickering at this crossdressing thing – you know how the LGBTIQ+ community feels about this stuff, don’t you?

Travis’s pick-up lines are too cheesy for this earth…*shakes head with grin on face*

There’s a police bird mascot on the dashboard of the Seven-O car.

When I realised what Mr Goldman was doing to Kirill (potential sekuhara and disguise reveal, if you know what I mean)…my face went all funny…

I don’t think I’ve seen a Kirill and Valery eyecatch before…hmm.

The fact there were two men making out in the change rooms…I wonder if that was played for humour? If so, that’s nasty to the LGBTIQ+ people, y’know?

“Max, that’s mine. Take good care of it.” – Your…what, Deana? Your target???

The next-ep preview had me laughing! Travis, don’t give yourself away!!! But now I get why Kirill was in a wedding dress.

Price of Smiles 10

Y’know, Lily, you shouldn’t wish for a kid to be confined to their house forever. Kids grow up and then need to make a living…at least, that’s what I’ve learnt.

I honestly (almost…?) thought we’d only see casualties on Yuki’s side…guess I was wrong.

Shield Hero 10

Notably, a lot of Western-inspired fantasy works such as this use “runes” based on stylised English…including the map that appears in this ep.

This knight that’s doing all the talking…his name is Ake, according to the interface.

My Roommate is a Cat 10

The irony of that dog bag of Haru’s (the human girl’s).

Cats and Dreams (Neko to Yume) = a parody of Hana to Yume (Flowers and Dreams).

All these thoughts Subaru has of his mother make me want to hug mine…

“50 inches”, my butt! (The newspaper says there’ll be 50 centimetres of snow...)

I expected Okami to be at the supermarket (Nana, not her brother)…but instead, Hiroto showed up. What a small world it is in this anime…(well, it is all set in the same neighbourhood, with the exception of that signing, so it should be. At least, I guess so.)

F*** it, Hiroto. I thought you were annoying in the past, but you’re nice too! What’s up with this show??? Why do I feel everything Subaru feels??? (Uh…past me, maybe, that’s the point of this show…?)

The cat show is also relatable in how I peel apples…and that would probably carry over to other fruit and veg too…

If there’s one thing I can annoy this show about, it’s how to transition between human and cat perspectives. Aside from that, it’s A-OK!

Morose Mononokean 11

Wait, these birds have one foot (each) and ear wings??? Wuh???

Oh, now that Abeno mentions it, Chungo has a crescent, but one of the other bros has a heart on his belly. Another one has a circular pattern with a round dent where the head is (like a partial moon, with the smaller edge inverted).

One of the “birds” has two dents in his belly pattern (like the one I described just before, but this time with a W shape).

Hmm…in much the same way the police act as a representative of the state, the reason there needs to be a master of the Mononokean is to represent it…and maybe the Legislator. Is that right, people?

Come to think of it…”chun” roughly means “tweet”, hence “Chunichi”, “Chunji” etc.

The name of this episode is Kii (literally, “return to residence” as far as I understand it…I may have misinterpreted that second kanji though).

Is Komon a “she”? It’s hard to tell, really.

Mob Psycho 100 10

“Prime Minister Yabe”, eh?

I think I saw “ONE” written on one of the buildings.

I sort of saw the comparison between Sho and his dad coming as soon as I saw Ritsu and Sho hanging out together.

I found my old first season predictions from summer 2016 and now I just remembr Dimple as a “green cloud”, LOL.

Well…sorry to break it to you guys, but someone’s post was called “Dimple makes the Body Improvement Club PLUS ULTRA” so I sort of know where this is going…

Hmm…this “muscles with psychic power =/= muscles with training” thing reminds me of the tomatoes from s2 ep 1.

Mob Psycho 100 11

(Mob says something along the lines of “you need to rely on others to help you survive.”) - Welp, Mob, that’s a consumerist post-Fordist society for ya.

“…don’t use your psychic powers against others.” Don’t think I’ve corrected any subs in a while.

…and randomly, Reigen.

Post-credits scene. Keep watching!

I just realised these “courses” mentiond in the next-ep previews are related to the Japanese side of things – BDs, DVDs, events and manga.

Egao no Daika 11

Almost done with the season, eh?

Couldn’t Huey have been shown giving the money, rather than keeping it a secre until the rest of the group did it…?

Please say that’s an armistice, Yu-oh no.

I feel like revealing Izana’s death to his family now…is a bit late.

That’s Stella’s fish bowl! Great Scott! (Okay…that was a terrible pun. Y’see, Scott was the one who believed Stella was Layla’s daughter…and he was right.)

Oh…end of credits segment. Keep watching.

Notably, the ep 12 title (”The Price of Smiles”) is written in kanji + hiragana, instead of the katakana of the show title.

Spec Ops Asuka 11

“I don’t want to run.” – Well, with Nozo-chan leaning on her like that, Sayako definitely won’t be running…in more ways than one.

Ken can mean “dog” in certain contexts, y’know. So Kenjou seems like a good name for a dog boi...spirit…thing?

My Roommate is a Cat 11

I’m going to miss this show when it’s gone…

I feel like a better episode title translation would be “Overlapping Feelings”.

Hmm…I never thought he (Subaru) was wearing a tonne of blue because he liked it. I just thought it was a good aesthetic choice on the part of the mangaka…welp, at least there’s a reason for it now.

Rabbiteye blueberries. I’d never heard of them before, to be honest. (Isn’t blue meant to be rare in nature???)

I could tell from the silhouette it was Kawase…

I know that feel…haven’t you seen the meme that goes…oh, I’ll go find it. Then you’ll understand what I mean.

^…This one.

LOL, that image of Haru on Kawase’s computer.

This show makes me wanna hug my parents…Update: Hey, I said that a few episodes ago. That makes me feel really stupid.
