Rules: tag 9 people you want to know better

Last Song: Self-Aware by Riverside

Last show: The Last of Us

Currently watching: Honestly, nothing special, just some youtube videos (mostly from Brazilian comedians. Want to watch Toradora and the new season of The Mandalorian, but I'm really lazy to start watching things... I don't know why... Tumblr's fault? Maybe.

Currently reading: Started Emma by Jane Austen but guess what? Made a pause to read fanfics and haven't touch it again. I bought the original version (in english), maybe it wasn't the right move, although with kobo is much easier to search for words that I don't know the meaning.

Current obsession: F1, Carlando, a bit of Voyager (oh, I had to mention only one? 🙈)

Tagging (feel free to ignore): @vamossainz55 @sainzcaleruega @lachamagaby-blog @l4nordina19 @safetycarlando @interlagosed @ehcahache @i--am-ironman @albonium and everyone who sees this post and wants to do it 😊

WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE TO SEE MY FUGLY UGLY ASS ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE X FAHRENHEIT 451 CROSSOVER DRAWING THAT I WAS FORCED TO DO FOR SCHOOL….. ITS SO UGLY AND MONTAG IS

WHITE.

AND THE HOUNDS ARE DISGUSTING THE COLORING IS SO SHITTY AND MILDRED …. Well ok she looks alright kindof but the COLORING ….. SKETCH WAS BETTER but do you guys. Do you still want to see it…….,,,,,,

ALSO NO OFFENSE TO WHITE PEOPLE PLEASE I LOVE YOU GUYS 🫶😁👍 within reason

#like ok maybe it isn’t. THAT bad #NO NO I TAKE THAT BACK I JUST LOOKED AT IT RIGHT NOW AND THE COMPOSITION IS ALL FUCKING VOER THE PLACE #IT. IT IS. THAT BAD #IF YOU GUYS SAY YESS YOULL SEE #ok but nasty bad art aside I know some of you will be asking why white Montag is such a bad thing and #there isn’t anything wrong with it!!! it’s just that for me personally #after I did a bit more thinking I was. physically incapable of perceiving Montag as anything other than POC/nonwhite #so when I look back at my old f451 art and stare into the eyes of a pale skittish twink it just #it doesn’t click. like that isn’t MY Montag if ykwim #now trembling BROWN skittish twink. that’s a different story #AGAIN I DONT have any issues with ppl making their own versions white I just think that . for me specifically. he looked a bit funny #a little off. a bit too crackerish for my liking #where is bros melanin 😭#I’m complaining right now but if I wanted to I could just… go in and try and make the skin tone darker #I might do that depending on how tired I feel after doomscrolling #also if it matters even though I have read the book over at least 8 times now not once have I touched either of the movies.#and it will STAY THAT WAY. until I completely log my notes for the book #then I can move on to the movies 🥰#but I will admit 2018 did sort of lead me to having a change of heart w my design. just a little. just a teensy bit. kinda. sort of?#actually not really now that I think about it #I have my own reasons.#TOO MANY WHITE PEOPLE MY EYES THEY BURN AAAYHHHHH MY EYES OW OW OW OWIEEEE #my Beatty design was so white that my eyes developed stage 4 cataracts #I needed a palate cleanser that WASNT Millie… oh god my Millie design…#she was white there too. terrible #it’s okay… 💔 I’ve since learned and moved on #ARGH GUYS I DONT HATE WHITE PEOPLE I JUST THINK THAT MORE SKIN COLOR VARIATIONS WOULD E NICE

Me: *always getting the The Murderbot Diaries titles mixed up and not being able to remember which one is which* Also Me: Well, Artificial Condition is obviously the one with ART in it!! 😌😌😌

#the murderbot diaries #i have a physical copy of All Systems Red #but i bought the rest of them as ebooks all at once one night immediately after finishing ASR because um #hyperfixation needs #and read them pretty much back to back #never got to look at any covers really because again. ebooks.#so now i always frantically look up the titles before i mention them to make sure i don't get them wrong #except for ARTificial Condition my beloved :)#and ever since i saw that one post about Network Effect's title I feel a bit more secure in that one!#i do feel kind of bad about this because i love these books so much and i think about them allll the time #but i just can't seem to remember their titles which makes me feel like a fake fan or something ahahaha #can't believe i get impostor syndrome over being a fan of something yikes #anyone out there with good memory hooks for the rest of them? lol

#chronic blogging #shit chat #well at this point both of my parents (who i inherited my Just Tough It Out streak from) have #upon hearing how bad my post-hysterectomy pain has been #told me 'umm no you need to go see someone.' and 'please just go to urgent care i will pay for it if your insurance won't.' respectively #haunted by the ghost of my right ovary (sharp stabbing pains & debilitating muscle spasms around the incision site)#it's been 1.5 years since surgery and it's getting worse not better #at my 1mo post op i was like 'hey right side hurts a lot worse & the incision seems really wonky & off-center. thoughts?'#they said it was nothing to worry about give it time i might still be feeling pain up to 6mo post op #sooo 8mo post op contact surgeon again 'hey remember that thing i mentioned? yeah still hurts bad enough i struggle to walk sometimes'#she says eeehhh maybe you developed pelvic floor dysfunction or always had it and surgery made it worse. read this book & do some stretches #book stretches & muscle relaxers helped for a bit so i just carried on but it was not improving in fact becoming more persistent #lil over a year post op contact surgeon like 'HEY do not ignore me i am in an amount of pain that is NOT NORMAL and you WILL see me'#drive 1+ hrs for her to poke at me for ~10 minutes ignore most of what i was saying and determine it's just muscle spasms do more stretches #said physical therapy MIGHT help if i did it 2x monthly for at least 6mo. which would've involved commuting over an hour during the workweek #no THANK you i'll just keep doing my stupid stretches. and the thing is.#the stretches ARE helping. i feel my overall balance/flexibility/stamina improving #but that by contrast is making the STABBING PAINS WHERE MY RIGHT OVARY USED TO BE all the more obvious #'oh it's just muscle spasms' well why the FUCK are my muscles spasming around THIS SPOT EXCLUSIVELY for SEVENTEEN MONTHS STRAIGHT #i have essentially no pain on my left side at all. i feel overall just fine & dandy but i am convinced there is something #like. very seriously wrong on the right side causing this #and yeah if my surgeon won't listen to me maybe i will check myself into urgent care and demand an ultrasound #(which btw i asked for during my last visit & she told me it was unnecessary & to fuck off)#but now the two people who instilled me with a very deep mistrust for the medical industry #and from who i learned from via a lifetime of observation how to dissociate from chronic pain in order to function #are telling me 'yeah no this is bad you need a DOCTOR.' umm. i probably need a doctor.#was talking w/ E last night about degrees of pain & like. avg day is like 4-6 on a 0-10 scale. good days 2-3.#i don't consider calling out from work unless it's like an 8 or higher cause i'm just so used to it.#i'm sick of it. so fucking bored with being in constant pain. i want my life & energy back. i want a personality beyond Oh Just Tired back.#i wanna be able to enjoy touch again with immediately hitting overstimulation threshold due to pain.

#let me express to u perhaps The frustration of my life #i like to learn. it is perhaps my favorite thing. new information. more more more constantly #but. my fucking brain is the fucking worst. because im not fucking stupid if i can focus and process the words being said i can understand #many things. i like to learn about math and physics and chemistry and biology and anatomy... ect concepts #but the focus and the processing of words is where we have problems. because i cannot focus for more than like 5min #i blink and suddenly ive been spaced out for a sec and need to reorient. i cant prioritize what to do 1st and im constantly bouncing betwee #tasks so nothing ever gets done and im too intimidated to start learning things. and when im trying to learn we habe the processing words #problem. like my reading comprehension is so fucking bad. like i will read a book on paper and maybe retain 25% of the info if im not #hardcore trying. for a class where i had to do a ton of paper reading. i had to read everything out loud to myself. highlight important #info. write myself a summary based on the highlights and then read the paper again before i could even begin to feel comfortable in #discussions. it was so fucking frustrating and miserable. ppl will give me physical books and im like thanks i cant fucking read sorry #too fucking dyslexic. read and listen they say. u have to read and listen at the same time bc i cant pay attention and i cant read #so if i do both then maybe the info gets in. thats y i have to read aloud but i hate it and still get distracted #i mean. i probably just have an attention problem. its also really annoying that my short term working memory is so awful #bc in order to make things make sense i have to draw or write them out. i cant judt go off the top of my head or i get stuck saying thr sam #thing over and over and over. its like my ability to think is extremely shallow. but thrn i read papers and recognize concepts from classes #i took years ago and im like. fucking y cant i know what i know? my head feels so empty but info is in there somewhere #its just so fucking frustrating that i love understanding systems so much. complex annoying little systems that fit together like a puzzle #and my fucking brain refuses to accept the information im trying to get in there. so i return to a remark left on my dyslexia assignment:#intelligent when not constrained by language or time. thanks. unfortunately language is how ppl communicate #also i freak out under time pressure lol. anyway ive just been reading papers for fun this weekend and remembering y i dont: bc its agony #but also i fucking love the concepts so much and i need a good understanding of photosynthesis before August when i join a photosynthesis #lab lmao. ugh. i love learning but my brain was not buildmt #built for it. if only if only someone could podcast about the obscure things im interested in while reading directly from the source #unrelated #also its like 105 degrees plus. its too fucking hot out #thats like 40 degrees C. the sun is like a death ray

BOOK REVIEW 📖

Last year I kept track of the series & films I watched; this year I've decided to keep track of whatever books I read! So this one is for the month of January – I'll share these sometime after the month is over, or if I read more than one book during the month, I will do their reviews as soon as I finish the book :)

#ben picks up reading again #dania rambles about shit #should note that this is not spoiler free (don't give much context but still)#i would read it again just to catch all the parallels and symbolism #chose to read this on libby bc of the option to highlight and keep notes in one spot bc jfc I would've annotated tf out of a physical copy #doing this completely from my phone and made my own little template because I couldn't find any good ones for free #what else ummmm oh right this is like a basic answer/question and I ramble off topic but still within some type of margin #read that fanfic I recommend really since I feel like it's better written aka maybe I just like it more bc it has a happy ending #and it includes all the same problems that the characters of the original book went through (for the most part)#anyway 4/5 stars and not 5 bc like I got tired of clare's pov bc it felt like there was no different between #the varying ages we get once we reach her at like 12 and up #henry also affected this bc like he's likable but so stupid and shouldve studied paradoxes or something to solve his problems #again rambling it needs a fix it but blah blah not really their suffering is a main point of the book :)#yeah so structured like a traditional one but I focus on not so traditional aspects bc I have a way of analyzing things #as if I have an essay to write on it lmaooooo #these are handwritten bc I like to keep track in case it worsens due to my cubital tunnel affected wrist #(im a righty; lefty on the other hand has carpal tunnel but that only affects when I do hand on projects like pottery or painting)#I'm giving free trivia/lore about myself here lol

my beautiful brick arrived so prepare to be sick of me. also posting my physical tbr so i can hold myself accountable. i WILL read these in 2024 (manifesting)

#my physical tbr has gotten ridiculous so im imposing a book buying ban on myself (and not asking for books as gifts ban) until i finish them #i've had some of these books for more than a year.... i need to read them #i've been meaning to read count of monte cristo for so long bc i read like the abridge version my dad had when i was a teen and loved it #and i just absolutely love revenge plots #so PREPARE TO BE SICK OF ME #(as soon as i finish the books i have already started reading.....)#also jesus i need to just read the last book in the nicci french series so i can be done with this series and never touch them again #still on the fence abt reading nk jemisen and ursula le guin in greek we shall see how it goes #also if you have read any of these books pls tell me your opinions!!!#talks

Busy today. Here's some updates:

Got the JP manuscript for Ky's Overture short story compiled and ready for translating. The last 3 stories (Ky, Raven, That Man) look pretty easy so fingers crossed they don't take me like 2 months to do like how they have been lmfao

Started cleaning up the Dengeki PS mag scans. Man, was that cover filthy. Took an hour just to clean up that single scan. It sparkles now.

NEOCITIES UPDATE. Crossposted Paradigm's and Valentine's Overture stories over there.

I've also been messing around with some Japanese learning apps as alternatives to Duolingo since Duolingo's last update was, frankly, absolutely shit-tier. The JP study materials page on my Neocities is gonna get an overhaul soon. Would also like to make a sitemap eventually since my little slice of internet's getting a bit labyrinthine.

Gonna be a hot girlboy (switch to reading as my primary media for a bit) so I can be an even hotter boygirl (start writing my OC stories down)¹

1 This makes little to no sense to the author either

#sky screams into the void #i got a bunch of ebooks and i have 19 physical books as well but ebooks are great for reading in the dark #ohhhh maybe i should ask my parents for a drawing tablet instead of a game to replace the one i originally wanted #best case scenario that and the game start again (i need more timeloop media in general) but tablet would be good #okay reading time goo night!!

U know how sometimes you feel a bit (and that bit can vary wildly) sad about how many flaws you have (which is normal and human) and how much growing you can do (which is a good goal but perhaps self destructive once you're putting off A Certain Amount of life until you've done "more work" with that goal post of "more work" always moving farther even though at a certain point you should probably accept that every person is somewhat flawed and always needs to grow more and it's okay to Actively Live one's life and enjoy it DURING that endless process of growing)

Well I certainly feel that way again. I feel like all I should do in my free time for the next 3 months (rather than play or create or self care) is do workbooks for healing and growing. And that I shouldn't bother with my life goals again until I've completed the workbooks At Minimum. (And my instincts are saying ummm that plan sounds like a touch workaholic and avoiding actually living life and isolating)

#rant #i just. i decided i want a loving relationship. its been many years. id like to date again #so i. as usual when i have a problem. looked up HOW #well i read 1 book about physical and thought process changes i can make. and it suggested date within 3 weeks. among other tjings #and so i looked up INTERNAL work to find love. because perhaps if i can fix whatever INTERNALLY draws me to only run into unavailable people #will allow me to start running into AVAILABLE options instead. so i need to complete this 300 page therapy workbook.#and theres no point doing the date within 3 weeks if im only able to ask out unavailable people currently.#so ill do the date in 3 weeks AFTER i complete the workbook.#the workbook is exhaustjng and makes me cry but hey maybe itll help. anyway i wish someone had given it to me 5 years ago #but anyway to hqve time to do with workbook ASAP i dont have time for shows #and i rarely have time for Play anyway. something i hear i need.#because i got chronic illnesss wooh and a lot of my free time i need to go to doctors and physical therapy #and manage my diet (cause i have gastroparesis so if im not careful i Cant eat)#and also i need more muscle so my back stops fucking up.#and also i need time to meditate so my pelvic floor relaxes at least a little to lower the gi issues and pain.#so like.#and then also im sure friends would like to see me more.#meanwhile all i really wanna do? is go to a #cabin by the beach in rhe woods and sleep 2 days then eat cake then read and write my fucking novels

i've been listening to a lot of musicals lately ... i can't seem to focus on books these days (perhaps bc i read them on my phone) but i'm craving the experience of being immersed in a story and musicals satisfy that itch so well

#they're so perfect to listen to while i'm cleaning the kitchen or crocheting #i'm getting to know characters and going through a story #not to mention the songs are so good....#i've been listening to anastasia 2017 and beetlejuice and wicked. i'm obsessed with them i wish i could actually watch them live now #hgjshfhf i've been like 'wow story through song! i love this' and then i realized that's literally just disney movies #it's made me want to revisit my faves like mulan and tangled to appreciate the songs all over again #songs that show character and advance the plot?? yes please #oh another fave is something rotten.....so much fun. i need to find more musicals like it #that being said. today i got some books from the library so let's see if actual physical copies increases my concentration #i hope so. i really miss reading. i've been craving a good adventure story lately

i love my old paperback that cracks every time i touch it

#wherever it’s in my bag i treat it like it could disintegrate at any moment . bc it could and will #cannot remember exactly how old this book is #the story itself is over 100 years old now but this print in particular i think is from the 70’s/80’s ?#my mother passed it along to me from a friend :) happy as a clam #i read the original version as a kid and haven’t been able to find a physical copy of it Anywhere for less than 100 bucks . genuinely #it’s one of my fav books ever . augh #i need to add some more tape to the cover Another chunk is trying to crack off again 😭#it’s just so well loved . it’s falling apart and it is a Prized item
