#I am trying to not lose hope

[allofuswantgwinam]

im ngl my dad pissed me off today just like my mom the other day. i had to run him around before work bc he can’t drive bc he got dui’s awhile back and now can probably never afford to drive again bc that’s just what it is. kinda having a time where I am angry at him about my childhood and bc even tho he is present in my life he kind of is not a dad. I love him and I know he loves me but that man like does not have drive for anything, he didn’t even text me happy bday this year 🥲 I’ve even told my mom before part of my stress with having to go to her for things is that it’s always her. I can’t go to him. I cna go to him for things like when a cop made me leave my car at my ex’s and took me home 🤣🤣 was wild bc he said something was tellin him he needed to stay up that night 💀 crazy. so that’s what I mean like he’s not awful and I lvoe him, but he really has not done anything for me fr in my life and I have to do the most for him bc he didn’t make good choices. I will continue to help him bc I love him but it just makes me resent him soemtiems and I hate that. blows me away that my parents got married bc they wanted a kid 💀 thx so much to them for that 🙄 jking makes me fucking mad too 🤣🤣🤧 i mena this man will literally battle me about memories that I know he has wrong bc he was DRUNK. all the time. 80% of the time at least. he was drunk and mom was angry. it’s so wonderful they got married to have a child right 🤩😤

but anyways, now that that’s off my chest 😭🫠

we were talking about Palestine and he said the stupidest shit ever, not in support of Israel but still just disappointment. but the thing that really just grinds my gears so badly is that he was like “there’s good people in this world that are passionate and selfless” “don’t let the world bring you down, you have to keep your life going even during this” “I know there’s good people bc my kid is one of them” like wtf even is that???? I don’t understand how people just can say that and not feel the uncomfortableness and rage that I do. and the fact that him and my mom refuse to accept that Biden is apart of it. he said I was wrong 😤 I just stopped talking. what the fuck. my parents are so brainwashed, I really don’t know how I came from them sometiems

Hey what if I finally finished one of the small town AU (Willdale Cliffs AU) refs? Meet "The Family", better known as two punks who've more or less taken over the town's park. Unlike most of the other people in Willdale Cliffs who grew up in the town, Gem only showed up a year or two ago. Joel's always been known as a bit of a delinquent, spending most of his time working on his beat up car to one day, just maybe, get the damn check engine light off. Nobody in the town quite knows how or why these two get along, but it's rare to find them too far from one another. (ty to @/goblin-hours-oclock for the comment abt what car Joel would drive— and an additional second s/o to @/eydilily for the OG inspiration for my Gem and Joel designs) Some closeups + easter eggs under the cut!

Gem has two pins on her overalls, one of a crescent moon and one of cherry blossoms!

Joel has two heart patches, a patch made out of the same fabric as Gem's bandana, a bamboo patch, a Gem and The Scotts patch, and a patch with a boat on it

+ some around town opinions

And that’s a wrap for Comic Con 2024! Ha, it was a lot of fun, but I really enjoyed dressing up as Mondo today! I even had a couple people recognize him! And a few others just liked the hair, one of whom asked how long it took me to get my hair like that, which tells me that at least it looks natural enough for people to mistake it as my actual hair, ha.

Overall, Comic Con was cool! On Thursday, I attended a live podcast recording for Braving the Elements, which is an Avatar the Last Airbender podcast hosted by Janet Varney and Dante Bosco (the voices of Korra and Zuko, respectively), and I actually got a trivia question right and I should (hopefully…) get an email from them soon to get a prize for answering the question right. If not… oh well. At least I’ll be featured briefly on the podcast answering trivia correctly, even though I usually suck at trivia, ha.

The rest of the days were a bit more meh, but I still had fun. I won a Pokeball ornament from a Hallmark panel, since I knew how many Squirtles were in the Squirtle Squad, aha. Which leaves my trivia score 2 for 2 at the moment.😅 I also got a free shirt and scarf for the upcoming Yakuza live action show, which was neat. I’ve never played Yakuza, but my brother has, so I was able to give him the shirt at least.

Still, while Comic Con was fun, I’m definitely glad it’s over so I can go home and clean up from my frantic cosplay creating the last several weeks, oof.

Also! On the first day I dressed at Taka, but since I was by myself I only have the one photo my dad was able to quickly take of me before he had to drive off and a quick selfie I took in the car.

Hey. Sorry about the inactivity, but pretty sure no one cared that much anyways lol. Been a looooong time since I kept that distant from Tumblr…at least now I know I’m able to survive without checking posts every day/being chronically online! I’ve got an intense love-hate relationship with this lifestyle I’ve dug myself into. Think I’m getting a little bit better with the balance even if school isn’t really giving me an option. Got a load of work I need to keep catching up on if I don’t want to disappoint my professors. We’ll survive somehow. Here take a quick batch of Puzzle doodles k bye

reminder for my college sukuna girlies: the drabbles are NOT in chronological order in the masterlist!!

[taffywabbit]

i just woke up so i haven't actually watched the pokemon direct thingy yet, but i heard they mentioned they aren't pushing out another console release at all for 2024 and if that's true then frankly THAT news is way more hype than any actual game announcement could ever be. go girl let us wait!! this is genuinely what i've been begging for for years now

like, oh a new Legends game? that's neat i guess. oh wait it's being given literally ANY time to cook and they aren't crunching Game Freak to hell and back in order to pump out a bunch of half-baked annual releases for the first time in ages?? NOW we're fuckin talking. LOVE to see the torturous cycle broken

[naamahdarling]

Augh

[gojooooo]

man i love open endings. the fact that thanks to yuuji there might indeed be the next time sukuna talks about in case some idiot decides to eat a finger again. and we need fics where yuuji is that idiot

I have not been so physically unwell about a ship as chronohaul in a long, long time.

[moeblob]

I vote for Argenti! I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you ! I do feel much better (though I admit I hurt a little for very much my fault reasons but it's mostly manageable through light pain meds).

Take an Argenti o7 I got lazy and didn't draw the roses I was gonna draw to the left so there is now a wide open blank spot.

You mentioned the deal w seeds in the plane au — what IS the deal w seeds in this au, if you don’t mind me asking?? 👀

bwah okay its not that much different from canon. they were still a deep space colonization fleet but in this au their mission was technically a success

seeds established an research outpost on no mans land to study the planet and test it for potential permanent habitation in the future. basically the fall doesnt happen. or at least not when and how it does in canon

vash and nai were born when seeds began constructing proper long term facilities on the surface

2 years later the research facilities have turned into small cities, terraforming projects kicked into gear and a decent human population was slowly being woken up from cold sleep. the colonization mission for this fleet was deemed a success

the twins were part of a project testing independent plant capabilities and the utility potential of reality bending (the ability to both power and control machines and expanding the storage capacity of small fast aircraft for transportation efficiency), later named project gemini in their honor. during that time the jets g-01 and g-02 and their prototype engines were constructed

at some point nai found detailed info on the project and noticed the discrepancy in their unit numbers, their engines being numbered 02 and 03 in the blueprints. more digging led to the discovery of tesla and her fate as an integrated part of the fleets onboard ai, knives went mad and began plotting the downfall of humanity. over a few weeks he secretly gained control over the local aircraft fleet and one of the production lines and launched an assault on the main ships in orbit

the one man war against seeds (and poor vash, who was caught in the crossfire, not wanting to fight either of them and trying to stop them from fighting each other) lasts a few decades and only ceases when nai shoots his brother out of the sky by accident

by then little was left of the original seeds project, losing the battle in the end. the sky and desert are a graveyard of ships and aircraft a century later. most of humanity doesnt remember the project or know what happened. a majority of the population abandoned seeds and fled the facilities to establish their own settlements during the war

and thats the deal with seeds! i think? did it explain anything? i got so caught up in writing this that i wrote down some of the early plot dhgfjhdfg
