#Genuinely so lucky that I can do this

[musicalsilence]

how can I have your life?

Live with two roommates and clean the bathrooms at a unionized grocery chain, and never buy new clothes.

I can only really maintain this because I don't ever want to buy stuff. It works out great for me because my main interests are writing and music, and I'm really good at pirating tv and video games.

But most people would probably not be able to make my budget work, lol.

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.

Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?

Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.

The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.

Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.

It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.

I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.

He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

We need to talk about the worst thing about making AUs....

The fact that then when you inevitably think about crossovers you don't want the crossover with the canon you want it with your specific AU. Your brain worms, your circus, but THEN WHAT?

Oh, yeah, to understand this crossover you need to go read this entirely different fic/series? Girl help 😭 you can't do that

Fuck I hate being an adult. I need a more adult adult to help with the volatile emotional situation.

I've seen people criticise triangle strategy's golden route as too convenient, too naïve, and one time as "the centrist choice", and I couldn't disagree more.

sure, it's annoying that you can only get the perfect option if you make some very specific choices earlier, some of which really don't fit together (I can't imagine why someone who would otherwise so consistently choose the (feasible) moral option would so easily choose to help smuggle salt with no knowledge of who's buying it or why). and it's extra annoying that roland's and benedict's absolutely disgusting takes are just swept under the rug like that.

but the fact that serenoa refuses to pick one of three questionable options because they're the ones presented to him, comes up with a way to deal with every issue at hand, and then convinces everyone else it can't not be attempted simply because it seems hard? I really, really loved that. I don't think there's anything centrist about it, I don't think it's so convenient if feels like a reach, and I don't think it's too naïve for a video game. maybe things would never work out like that in reality, but I don't subscribe to the idea that stories have to be as bleak as reality is or might seem, and if anything I think it's better when they aren't.

TLDR my smart kind and brave video game blorbo isn't a dirty centrist and there's nothing wrong with a happy ending 😤

in a hilarious turn of events my flatmate didn't even know I use any pronouns....

got my prof's feedback on my short story draft today and honestly . wild

one . most important . she liked it :]

said i needed to show the characters falling in love more which i will Not be doing bc im trying to portray their relationship as smth inherently complicated and also queerplatonic but ALSO the way she phrased it was 'more details so i feel like these characters are good together and ship them' and honestly never thought id see a prof use the word ship in that context

she's been a big supporter of me getting published which im so happy about but it's kinda funny when she ended the comment with 'you deserve an audience' like oh Dont You Worry i Have One. they are here for my stories about a doomed horror protag falling in love with a block man with no mouth. im making it big over here

[disastersteps]

oh yeah its been a bit, i want to show that anita's thinking position in that comic cover i made is similar to aoyun (their puppet)'s pose hence. it's really just anita. that's them.

this is them when they think or plan about what to do next, etc. etc. <:3c

[em0-opossum]

sick of people acting like being alone/lonely = being single. ofc you're allowed to feel like that, I'm aro and could not care less that I don't have a partner so I have no idea what it feels like to have that experience, but god just once I'd like to find poetry and art made by people who know how it feels to have no friends and feel lonely no matter how many people are around you and know that you don't belong no matter where you are

[an-absolute-nightmare]

if i was afraid was getting doxxed less, i would be able to talk about it more

[lorephobic]

cant stand other people talking about my blorbos. someone with the best intentions could be talking about my gay autist and i’ll get so irrationally mad when they blame something on him being gay when its actually the autisms fault

[toytulini]

god im not starting shit on the post but "medical and pharmaceutical companies thank you for your long term patronage" really does not work as a thing to shame anti maskers. this is not a system i get to opt out of even by masking. unfortunately, i really dont think masking is pwning the predatorily priced healthcare system in the usa. especially considering how many of the ppl who are still doing it are unfortunately beholden to it anyway for some other fucking reason. fuck, even if i didnt have medications i take everyday anyway, the company i buy n95s from is a fucking medical /surgical supply company? its such a weird. just. no.

honestly, I think that the whole bullshit with my upstairs neighbors from this morning has just made my anxiety living here that much worse. I’m always on edge anyway because of living with my family still and dealing with all of the noise in the household. But the fact that this bitch quite literally threatened to call the cops on me and my family for being a nuisance when all I asked was for this fucking demented puta to stop the kids upstairs from slamming into the godamn floor at 1 am when my sisters are trying to sleep is just insane?? There’s like a nagging feeling that hasn’t gone away since I woke up, and I already took evidence of the conversation, the voice notes, everything. But it’s just ridiculous how far people are willing to go when they’re not alright in the fucking head, and thank god I’m not insane enough to snap cause I will crash out and it won’t be a pretty sight.
