i miss quotev, but honestly, it was like someone took twitter and 2015 tumblr and smashed them together in terms of toxicity. absolutely horrible. and way too easy to get your account deleted if people decided to gang up and mass report you :/ i got deleted like 8 times in the 12 years i was on there (though tbf. did not get deleted since 2020, so more like 6 years). because young faun unfortunately did not know how to keep their mouth shut when they saw something that pissed them off. and yknow. god forbid you disagree with people on the internet.

literally late last year before i went on hiatus (again, because the toxic environment made me Cranky As Hell), i saw people trying to get someone deleted for having age regressors in their dni. not even in a rude way. just because it made them uncomfortable. absolutely insane. truly the definition of throwing a fit.

idk how to explain this in a way that the people who need to learn it will understand but

you actually can choose to not get into a long distance relationship

you actually can choose not to fall in love with someone when you know the yearning will tear you apart

so happy to see you happy at work!! like yeah tell us more abt it!! brag it!! own it!!!

hi sweet anon!! I wanted to wait to answer this ask until I actually had the time to answer it properly 🫶🏼 (and I felt like I also wanted to give an update on my whole uni-dropout-story, because I actually haven't done that in a while so here we go).

first of all, thank you for saying that, that's so nice!! it's funny because I feel like I am most famously known for hating work, like. maybe I sound really lazy or entitled when I say this but if I didn't have to, I just literally would not work, because I just don't like it. that sounds terrible, doesn't it?

however, I feel like I always put so much pressure on myself in the past to get it right somehow anyway; to find something I thoroughly enjoyed, which was also something that earned me good money and felt socially acceptable (as in: I felt pressure to do something that was the highest achievable for someone like me) and that's probably why I felt so stuck when I was still studying. because I did not like it. everything that's like, a really good paying job and a position that people will be impressed by, requires you to work at least 40 hours a week and sit in an office and answer emails in your free time and that's simply everything I hate, because I just don't like working.

now I'm in a situation where I have a job that doesn't require me to do any work after I've finished work because it's kind of difficult to board an airplane from my house and they do send emails but it's literally only weather updates regarding airports in other countries (and I have to admit I haven't read any of them in like two weeks). I work at extremely odd hours but that also gives me so much freedom, like I'll have the whole afternoon off on a random wednesday and for me personally, that works so well because I get overstimulated easily and I feel like in this way I actually have time to calm down and feel okay again before I see friends/start my next shift/anything really. and what makes the waking up at odd times so worth it is simply the bonuses you get, I only have to work around 30 hours to achieve a salary that's comparable to a 40-hour work week. how insane is that!! (also it feels like such an unserious and silly job. I have a friend who works at a bank and that sounds sooo serious and then I'm over here telling people that no, they're not allowed to bring a hamster on an airplane. it's so silly)

and I feel like by dropping out of uni, I also took off the pressure for myself to know everything about how my life should and will be. I just put so much pressure on myself to have it all figured out, and now I just don't know. I have a job that is enjoyable enough for me to stick to it for the foreseeable future, but if I want to do something else in the future I'll just find a way to do that. also, I have completely stopped worrying about what other people think of my job and whether it's is socially acceptable enough or not (none of my friends cared when I dropped out and none of my family cared. so, why should I care what anyone else has to say about it?). this realisation completely solved my anxiety honestly, I haven't felt nauseous for such a long time, whereas before I literally could not eat for months because of my anxiety. for now, I'm just sooo glad everything worked out and I'm earning good money and I can save up and I actually have time to do the things that I want in my free time like I'm so happy with that!! I can't believe I was fighting for my life during that uni course only five months ago, when it feels like a different life now.

this got so long and also made me realize I need to stop and be grateful a little bit more often, so thank you for making me realize that anon!! I hope you are having a great day🧡

Just got scarred by tumblr's algorithm cause I hopped into the navigation section like a naive fool and clicked on the "try these posts" section and got jumpscared by some tcset shit. Like I literally gagged and started tearing up I got so spooked. Tumblr bruv, I do like turtle content, but not morally reprehensible turtle content!

So anyways moral of the story is block the tags you don't wanna see, or else you're gonna inevitably see them.

Just letting Wingmen fans know… Ensan Case’s website isn’t under his control anymore, and now it redirects to an unrelated porn site.

Isn't that like common knowledge? It's like mixing bleach and pamoenia... But like instead you're mixing like resin with gas and stuff. Both are things you don't wanna make by mistake. Idk why such a safety tip was removed...

Here's a tip!

Don't read news website comments. Please, just don't. It's really not worth it.

Gentle reminder that things characters say it chat fics aren't things you normally say to real people in real conversations, this has been your reminder.

Use google doc for the cloud feature and if you see it’s not saving because of cloud issues? Hurry and take a picture lol

the first rule of writing is that there are no rules. the second rule is to save your work every 5 minutes because technology is a fickle god.
