Because I am so very smart and know I'm in a no-computer kick of writing I have. managed to not pick a thing to write just now when I am very actively looking for a thing to write

Should I have put my big ol' notepad in my bag as well? maybe

Should I probably be focusing on work while I'm, you know, at work and organising events? maybe

but have you considered; wanna make words work

#talkin' malarky #I was gonna work on my list of small prompt suggestions #but no absolutely not. I have done this to myself and have no one to blame #on the other hand tho li'l old lady just walked onto the bus and complimented my bestickered laptop #I mean it started as a ''well you won't be misplacing that''#which is also true. but she did say she liked it so yeah #anyhow. should perhaps do work. get off tumblr while I'm using the library's data pack #maybe open a word doc and just hrrrrrgh words at it #wilder things have happened #ah the days on the bus #used to be a lot less work oriented when I didn't have events to organise lmao #but I haven't had an impromptu nap today so. progress?

Kinda gets me when people age them down in AUs and stuff because to me those characters wouldn't be half as interesting if Chilchuck, Senshi and Mithrun were the tallman equivalent of in their twenties

#just something about having a lot of history you know #like. chills is divorced or thereabouts. senshi spent like 30 years living in dungeon wilderness. mithrun knows kabru's mom #none of this would be possible if they were 20-somethings #dungeon meshi spoilers #dungeon meshi manga spoilers #somewhat i guess #like. yeah kabru and laios and falin (and marci for an elf) are really young BUT have a lot of life exp #but like. the fact that so much happened to them while they are so young is TRAUMA. its BAD #meanwhile chilchuck had like. a pretty average life for a halffoot his age. maybe even successful from a professional standpoint #senshi didnt have an average life but had the time to accumulate an amount of knowledge no 20something could have #and of course mithruns whole life story is like. slowed down because hes an elf #but even then i think its really important to show that it might take several years to start recuperating from a traumatic event #like its what makes his character such an interesting commentary on disability and depression #when you're 25 bouncing back is easier. when you're 40? 50? showing that theres hope #even when you've lost your whole youth to your pain... thats a whole other thing #sorry i started writing serious commentary in the tags #chills #captain mithrun #senshi #even in senshis character up to a point. he spent more years out of society than in it #and YET! even he manages to find a place. somewhat #like. they are all here to show that life goes on even after horrible or simply sad shit happens to you #they are survivors!!!! thats important

Not to vaguepost about dutch politics but we really are in the trenches huh

#fuckass geert wilders winning the elections dutch ppl are so fucking stupid #was watching the news and hearing the entire list of things the pvv wants to achieve really made me realize how fucked we are #like i knew already of course but still #and i know most of it probably wont happen (i hope) bc of how our government works but having a far right wing party as the biggest party #really says so much about the state of this country rn #it sucks here man #shari speaks

oh yes ladies I was asked out (on a DATE) last week and I'm still cry-laughing over it because WOW that went down SO badly

#think like mr collins meets eeyore but incredibly fixated on politics and thinks art and literature are a waste of time #apparently he isn't super dejected that I declined the offer because and I QUOTE #'she's a nice girl and has a nice personality and if i were to have a girlfriend she has the traits i'd want my girlfriend to have #however i'm not actually attracted to her' like BRO why did you ask me on a DATE THEN ???????? huh????????#anyway men continue to be a mystery to me NO idea how their minds work #i have learned since that this boy almost never showers and is a bit of a slob so i may have dodged a bullet #he thinks i have a nice personality because i just gave up arguing with him at one point. some of his ideas on 'wives submitting #to husbands' and all that sort of thing are super alarming and i didn't have the energy to muster up a rational argument against some of hi #wilder ideas. anyway this was such a bizarre experience not gonna lie #in other unrelated news i have concluded that if a boy wishes to grow out facial hair in order to look like a man #it rather makes him look like he's TRYING to look like a man. that's all i got on that #lads i suppose the tail end of this equates to what a wild world this is...... he also happens to be friends with the ex boyfriend #every once in a while i think life is going to go quiet and peaceful and then something bonkers like this happens! lol

i just think there is something about how nat could never forgive herself for javi sacrificing himself for her. she was worse than all of them because she let this kid, her somewhat boyfriend's brother, her own family, her friend, die in her place. it was supposed to be her, she heard the cries from javi and watched him die nonetheless.

but now she didn't watch. she didn't watch at all when it came to lisa. she stole the fish. she intervened with her family. she died in her place. nat healed a part of her when sacrificing herself for lisa. it wasn't right. it wasn't her time. she didn't want to go, but she got to finally pay forward javi's sacrifice in a way that she's never been able to do and always been punishing herself for. she got to heal her inner child by saving lisa. ( the irony is that it may not have happened had she not gone to try and save lisa to begin with. not tipped her off to something happening. these are the consequences of the girls actions. they wanted a hunt through the woods, they got one. they went after shauna and called off services, nat pays the price. misty tries to solve the problem the way she has been but she's not a perfect serial killer and she missed. they covered up the wrong guy at the end of last season. they killed the wrong person at the end of this one. ).

travis didn't break the pact, but neither did she. she did better. (btw travis was on the plane <3)

#yj spoilers #yellowjackets spoilers #i will be honest and say that i did not want it to be nat despite the nagging feeling that it would be #for all the reasons people have pointed out about her arc #but... i actually didn't hate it for all the reasons in this post about the completion of her arc #it IS tragic. it IS fucked up. it SHOULDN'T have happened.#but they called to the wilderness and they went on a hunt through the woods and misty jumped the gun #and nat died to save someone else. nat paid the sacrifice forward. nat drew the queen card and let someone else die in her place and now #now so has shauna but it would have been lisa. it would have been someone nat saw herself in #it would have been someone nat has tried to help all season and did. she could have watched it happen again #but she didn't because she has come too far and they are NOT in the wilderness anymore #they brought it back with them. travis died because of it. because of her. but lisa didn't have to. it could end with her #(it won't. but maybe things will change now. maybe #idk i just actually have feelings about this and i don't blame people for the gut reaction but i think it was a really great conclusion #ofc i wanted her to live ofc i wanted her to have a full life where she heals and is happy. and ofc she won't because they keep #playing a game that no one can win. because they are all traumatized and they're all responsible #meta: nat scatorccio #muse: nat scatorccio #season 2 belonged to you baby

EVERY fantasy book EVERY scifi novel every starwars movie every post apocalyptic show. I ask, WTF??? The same same question EVERY time. Say it with me - WHERE’S THE FARMING?

#ursula k le guin is guiding me. hand on my shoulder.#approx 200 generations of agriculturist ancestors stand at the other shoulder and they are yelling #where does your food come from? who makes your clothes?#who repairs them?#how do you store these things? how do you preserve them?#What fuel do u use to cook how many people are you feeding?#look. too much of the art i consume comes from the imperial core/global north where most of us have to think about where our shit comes from #approximately none of the time #but if u are writing about an alternative world u HAVE to have these systems #i just watched the gay episode of TLOU and it was pretty good in that regard but in the early part the guy had chickens #excellent move good work #and then the chickens never reappeared?? nor the food garden? we only saw leisure activities? which sure u could have some time i guess.#but what the fuck were you feeding those chickens? did ur big metal fence keep foxes away too?#and then at the end [spoiler event] WITHOUT LIKE. REFERENCING WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE ANIMALS?#YOU HAVE DEPENDENTS MY DUDE. YOU CAN'T JUST [SPOILER].#and how do those quarantine zones work? those walled citiess? we saw the land 10 miles to the east and it was wilderness?#and weirdest thing there was pasture? grazed pasture? but no animals on it? is this city land?#why weren't the fugitives avoiding it? why was it in the middle of forest?#or was it some other self sufficient person? in an underground bunker? who herded all their sheep in when they heard people coming?#which if u have ever worked with sheep. good luck doing that urgently.#me fein #agriculture

Two theories I have (well, one theory and a headcanon) regarding Raven.

Headcanon: Raven's kindred links can influence her own emotional state, depending on the intensity of the other person's emotions.

Theory: Raven left to spy on Salem for Ozpin, with the specific purpose of getting close enough to Salem to create a kindred link with her. This plan succeeded. The mysterious portal in the V9 flashback was to Salem. Raven spent enough time by Salem's side to bond with her. Kindred links can only be broken when the other person is dead.

Conclusion headcanon: Raven, as we see her in canon, has been emotionally linked to a whole range of people, none of who have particularly positive opinions on her that don't come with a caveat (namely Taiyang and Qrow being heartbroken and bitter, Yang's feelings of abandonment, Ozpin's guilt, Vernal might be the only exception but, uh... decoy). And then you add in Salem's emotions to the mix, which have been stewing in Raven for over a decade by the time we see her.

Bonus: if kindred links can only be broken when the other person is dead, and Summer has turned into a Hound, what would Raven feel from that?

#rwby #raven branwen #salem #rwby theory #more of a headcanon but eh whatever #I think kindred link is a semblance that just gets wilder and wilder the more I think about it #can raven choose who she bonds with or does it not happen on command?#if she wants to make a bond with someone does she have to force herself to spend time with that person until the link forms #to know them to the point of caring for them?#how did she know to save yang's life in the train. is this part of her kindred link too?#finally. her portals. ik it's just an animation reuse most likely but why do her portals and similar Grimm-related things look the same?#for what reason does she have the grimm mask. besides hiding maiden eyes. when did she get it #why does all of this. shakes raven. WHY ARE YOU STILL HAUNTING MY MIND AFTER 9 FUCKING YEARS.#my post #anyways i love raven goodnight

I just feel there's more room for nuance. Like, not every queer person feels like they arrive into existence with an attraction to, like, a specific kind of person and that's okay too.

yk every time i see a post about somebody wishing bad things on another person i think ‘dirt-strider to kiryu’ you’ve broken me brain

You see a post thats like i want to stick him in time prison so that he gets so bored he starts breaking his own bones to get even a hint of stimulation and its tagged me at kiryu and you scroll down and its a post thats like i want to feed him chips from my cupped hands like a wild stallion and its also tagged me at kiryu also hiiiiiiiii

#Thanks for the ask !#i wont lie to you i want to do yo kiryu what they did to the family in reddot story the pancake family #his life is a bit too easy i want to give him more obstacles thats why im kidnapping him and breaking my little prince’s ankles and #releasing him in a forest in another country altogether and he has to survive with his injuries until they heal and they will heal wrong and #it will forever hurt to walk now and also when he sees another human being now he will always flinch and he has nightmares every night about #being feverish and starving to death and years into his recovery i meet him again and invite him to watch a movie with me but when i put the #tape in its actually just a highlight reel of his time in the wilderness and he gets scared but he cant move and its because i gave him some #tea earlier and oh this ? its laced with drugs. and he sits blearily beside me and im holding his head up so he watches the screen and he #recalls every terrible thing thats happened to him i put the tv on full volume so he can relive the leaves and twigs cracking under his #hands and knees as hes dragging himself across the forest floor and and his clipped shouts of pain whenever his broken bones catch on a root #and his enraged screaming as he grapples foxes and coyotes that are trying to scavenge the food he painstakingly gathered and he can listen #to the way his voice devolves into something unrecognisable and hes wondering how i got this footage but then he realises this scene is #familiar hes on his last legs and he hears footsteps approach not those of an animal but of a person. he looks at the screen and he sees his #own face staring into the camera wild eyed and filthy and that on the other side of the camera is the hitchhiker who ‘found’ him and he #realises it was me who did this. i could have rescued him at any time the gratefulness he feels to that kind samaritan curdles in his chest #it comes with the withering realisation it was all a game and the one who put him through it all was right beside him and i laugh and put my #hand around his shoulder and ask if he liked the movie and he fights his paralysis and he grips me by the neck and throws me to the ground #and he says you .. you ... and i frown apologetically and say That bad huh ? well we can put on another. and he cant even say words anymore #hes so angry that he grips my neck and he strangles me and the whole time my face gets purple im laughing and laughing and laughing at him #anyway thats one of my greatest fantasies its a fantasy because i couldnt do that to the poor guy im not that mean but i do want him to kill #me and for me to deserve it. very important that i started this fight and that he ends it thats what i want to have ... and also to like #cuddle and stuff ... because i like him ...

#stuff sarah says #everything is so complicated and i dont want to be alive #i dont want to die. i just dont want to be alive. theres a difference #like im fine. i wont do anything about it. just the heavy weight in my chest of wow i wish i didnt exist so bad rn #i hate people looking at me and drawing their own conclusions #and like. nothings happened. but people could start to hate me. they could. out of nowhere #and a lot of them would have a 'good' reason to. bc i dont know the answers #i dont know anything!!! i don't know what the right answer is but things feel off and wrong and i dont like it!!!#leave me alone dont look at me dont ask me my opinion dont look at me dont look at me dont look at me #im gonna go to my dr appt on monday and deal with the stupid mental health quiz and not know the answers #bc like yes i imagine what if i was dead a lot. im fine tho. its a normal thing for me #everybody just wishes they didnt exist. ive yet to meet someone who hasnt #have i lost interest in the things i used to enjoy or am i afraid something bad will happen if i do them? who's to say???#and unfortunately i cant do the 'can we skip this im in therapy im fine' thing anymore bc im not in therapy anymore #and i get to say no im not finding a new one. you think im gonna open myself up like that to a stranger?#but yeah. i think id be better off if i ran away into the wilderness #ill keep a journal and when i inevitably die to the elements it can be published like that one guy #im so scared of everyone all the time. i dont want people seeing me anymore

anduin has apparently been missing for three years when dragonflight starts, after he was corrupted and traumatised by the jailer’s domination magic, and i can’t stop thinking about the idea that he’s spent those few years with annika and keeshan.

#txt #ch: annika dobrovski #like!! ok hear me out!!#annika was left traumatised after BFA when she was corrupted by the old gods #and so following the war's conclusion she and keeshan left the alliance and disappeared into the wilderness to attempt having a normal life #with only a handful of people even knowing where they ended up settling (somewhere in the mountains of the middle eastern kingdoms)#and anduin was definitely one of those people #so when he goes through a very similar experience with the jailer and almost fears who he is now he first starts aimlessly wandering azeroth #after leaving sylvanas behind in the maw #until one day he hears something about annika (maybe a war story told over drinks in a tavern somewhere)#and Immediately packs his few things and heads off to where he knows she and keeshan settled #cut to a few weeks later - annika sitting in her small garden planting flowers with her a five year old ivana #when her worg natalya suddenly bounds off into the trees and freshly-melted snow howling #only to return moments later trailing behind a sullen haunted looking anduin #little ivana standing with dirt on her cheeks and asking who he is #and annika just slowly standing - brushing her hands clean on her pants - and smiling a small sad smile of understanding #anduin is barely holding himself together after everything that's happened and so when annika quietly walks up to him and places a gentle #hand on his arm and asks if he's okay - he just folds her in a hug and starts to cry #that night once keeshan's returned from town with a 3 year old nessa - he and annika agree that anduin can stay as long as he likes #ivana is constantly asking him questions about anything and everything - and many of the books in the dobrovski household are crayon-marked #and the whole house is covered in wolf fur and is just a little too small for three adults and two young children #but it's the first time in a long time that anduin's felt like he has a home! a real home! probably since his dad died honestly #and so he happily helps with chores and goes with annika into town and hesitantly drinks ale with keeshan on the front porch #and lets himself heal from the trauma he's experienced #idk idk idk #i am having so many thoughts and feelings rn and None of it is coherent because hardly any of the moots care about wow #anyway sorry for wow oc posting on main 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡#oh and also #f: dobrovskis

so i made a new save n plopped my zava sims down as one does, left to play with another household for a few days and came back to find they’d. autonomously had a baby even tho i don’t think i set them to be able to Have Kids together. and what’s more THE GAME NAMED HIM NATHANIEL

like. okay girls. okay

#alli says shit #in fairness i was playing with them n like. sometimes u will get calls from ppl in ur own household abt things?#n zari called behrad like ‘so i was thinkin abt trying for a baby’ n i picked the option that’s basically ‘do whatever’#so i shouldn’t be that surprised #but finding out the name of their baby really went over my head until i thought abt it more n lost it #wilder things have happened with my sims #for example i had astra like kinda by herself on a lot during a thunderstorm and i thought #surely shell be fine #only to come back and found she had in fact managed to get herself hit by lightning #like. fantastic job lads 10/10

I'm listening to this hard(ish) sci fi novel on audiobook and its not, like, the greatest thing I've ever read, but it's more or less fine and I was basically enjoying it, and then like 85% of the way through there's this completely random, illogical, unexplained, out of the blue deus ex machina. and it's so completely random and absurd that I can't even pay attention to the plot anymore, I'm just like ??????

#the main character was like stranded in this hostile wilderness #and can only avoid dying of hypothermia if she does this specific action every 45 minutes #but she loses consciousness. so first of all she should have just outright died from that.#but she just...doesn't. and she wakes up and its dawn and there's a building two feet away? and she's like oh :) great :)#where the fuck?? did that building come from??????#the book specifically and explicitly stated like ten minutes earlier that there were no buildings around #so either she somehow traveled to exactly where she needed to be while unconscious and dying #or this building just sprouted out of the fucking ground #can't emphasize enough that this is NOT a fantasy novel. it is a hard sci fi novel.#there is absolutely no in-universe explanation for why this would happen and in fact its not even ACKNOWLEDGED #that it's impossible! for this to have happened!#this is really killing this book for me :/#but I'm 88% done! i don't want to quit 88% of the way in!#anyway. SIGH.#squirrel posting #risu reads things

#You know what’s weird?#in a way I am more steady in myself than I have ever been. I see my worth rather than pretend I see my worth but actually don’t #I see where all my shit stems from in a way I never used to. I talk about it in a communicative way I was never able to before #like all of it is lining Up and somehow? I also feel worse?#I don’t know if it’s because I’m just more aware now and also more capable of changing my habits or whatever or if it’s just less repressed #but like. been having seasonal affective disorder since I was eight probably and even before but then you didn’t know #and I didn’t put the pieces together until. what. 2014? 2015? I didn’t know it had a name #and id always count it a good winter if I hadn’t disassociated at all. that was the goal.#now 2022 is over and the months where id disassociate are also over (it always gets easier for me come January)#and I made it through without disassociating! that’s a huge win right! right? but …..#and somehow it felt like? SUCH a rough winter? and I handled it well but everything feels so heavy #and I know it’s not worse than prior years. I do. but it doesn’t FEEL like that #perhaps that’s because of everhthing that happened in December and my falling out with my dad and my owning up to how deep my trauma runs #instead of passing it off as ‘haha yeah some things were rough and winter sucks BUT I AM SO CHIPPER AND GOOD AND UPBEAT HA!’#but honestly looking at it just. is a lot. and logistically I know I genuinely am the best version of myself currently #but 2014 me was funner thinner and wilder and she was also COMPLETELY unhinged and I know I shouldn’t want that version of me back #but I’m constantly comparing current me to her?????? as if she was the ultimate goal #I know when March comes and we’re back at the summer clock I’ll have forgotten how heavy I felt now #but whew…………….. whew it’s a lot #also completely being honest with yourself about jn how many areas your anxiety is Fucking debilitating sometimes #really sucks. it sucks. I feel so raw and vulnerable and I want to stop fixing things and just live #OH THAT TOO my roommate is Living It Up and I used to be able to keep up with her when we were in uni and now I can’t and that just #makes it feel even more like i regressed. I hate it. and again I Know myself now in a way I didn’t then and that’s worth so much #but ugh!!! ugh. and also I HATE that it feels like all I’ve done since November is complain but it’s been. Well. extraordinarily rough #I haven’t even told the internet any of it and even my friends know the minimum but. sigh. SIGH.#just sucks to see where your everything comes from. you know?
