Patch 8 is real?

[sarahsmi13s]

As I grow older I feel my capacity to understand that Miss Piggy is not a real person reached a peak in my adolescence and is now on a steady decline. I watched a Wendy Williams interview and there's this part that's like "can we get a ring cam!" and Miss Piggy shows her bling and I'm just like fuck she's so iconic. Miss Piggy who are you wearing? Miss Piggy have you ever considered running for office??

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

new year, what's next?

hey everyone! i hope you all are having a good week, and if it's been a little rough - that's okay too, just keep pushing, you got this 🫶

first i want to say thank you. thank you to everyone that has enjoyed my works over the course of 2024, and i hope you'll stay to see what i have coming up! thank you to the friends i've made on here for being so supporting and making my day that much better when we talk. i love all of you and i can't wait for another year of friendship with all of you!

next, i think i have to address the hecticness. there was a huge bump in my road this past year. one i'm still overcoming. it caused huge anxiety and made me terrified to post. writers block hit hard and writers guilt threw a boulder at me. i think i'm still stuck under that boulder, feeling bad for not posting or choosing to roam around a video game for hours on end and not writing.

one of my goals this year is to work myself out from under that boulder.

it'll be a process. not sure how long or how difficult. but it won't be an overnight fix.

i have series un-updated, unfinished, and flat out not started. i have so many stories i want to write and share with everyone. but it takes time. so, that's what i'm going to do. i'm going to take sometime and just write them.

i made a plan on tuesday night: finish current series (mainly lt rogers and duckie - rewrites included), and once those are done any series after that has to have a certain amount done before i think about posting. this is all just to help me make sure that i'm happy with content i put out. current series will be put on hold for updates until i can make progress on them (rewritten chapters will be edited and reblogged with the tags)

one-shots, mini-series, and requests work a little differently. i'm going to try and write all of the requests before i start posting them (that may change idk). but if you've sent in a request, please know i have not forgotten it and i am doing my best to bring it to life. requests still are and will be closed until i can clean up my WIP wheel.

now this is all just a plan i'm implementing, and it may not work. this is on a trial basis until i find what does work.

thank all of you for staying and being here💜i will still be around, we can chat about things, whatever you want really. but fics and fic related things will be a little sporadic or stagnant for a while -- i appreciate your patience.

now idk who's made it this far in the post or if anyone cares😂, but that's okay! i just wanted to make anyone who does aware of the plan as it stands right now.

Do other writers ever get this like, hyper-specific dialogue exchange drop into their brains and you know exactly where these character are standing and what they’re doing and how they’re saying these words but that’s all you get. You don’t have much other context and this specific moment that exists only at this time in your headspace??

I have come up with a better metaphor than “you can’t pour from an empty cup” for burnout. You can’t boil an empty kettle. Pouring from an empty cup just gets you nowhere. Trying to boil an empty kettle can ruin the kettle, the stove, and burn down your house if you keep trying it.
