i knew Soft Launch reached the right audience when the comments about the wlw dating being deeply relatable piled up lmao
#i think if you go there you either had or inevitably will have one very disastrous wlw date#the kind of date that seems so fake when you tell others about it but you’ve lived through the horrors 😀#and they always last at least 24h with staying the night#like you go there with a spare undie and a toothbrush in your tote bag#knowing it will NOT end well but the lengths you go to kiss a girl who lives 500km away and matched with you on a dating app#in a pool of like seven other lesbians if you live in a rural area#or even in a big city it’s always the same faces eventually and you get tired of dating your exes ex and her other ex#anyway. soft launch is for the queers i feel like i need to say that loud and clear#it’s also for the yearners and those who haven’t given up on love yet. despite everything.#it’s for the invisible children who want to be seen but also are incredible afraid of being seen#it’s for those from broken homes who need proof that found family exists and can heal many things. not everything. but a whole lot of it.#crying in the clerb about my own fic okay!!!!#i‘m not in the club i have anxiety but my point stands#soft launch is for you if it speaks to you <3#-`♡´- tulip mail

for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........
#MOTHER FFFFUCKER#to be fair. my doc said I could stop taking them while im on break since i wouldnt need to be constantly pumped on stimulants#im not sure if it was a side effect but i managed to take like 3 different naps in one day and STILL managed to sleep thru the whole night#at least 2 days into my break. the weird thing is i didnt feel more or less rested afterwards. but mentally i think im in a good place rn#to really put the level of awakeness im at rn i feel weirdly confident i could start one piece. also bc of that sick new opening it BANGS#the song is really good and im in love with the animation style. did some digging and it seems one of the lead animators is masato mori#but i could be wrong. it seems he also did some work on mp100 which could explain a lot lol.. he uses smear frames really well to convey#consistent movement and fluidity!!! someone else might have done color design but it works really really well esp with odas style!!#just love the overall vibe and aesthetic and id really love to study it and incorporate a bit of it into my art.. especially the thick#outlines which i think helps to separate characters and objects on screen. though i have to say the style is definitely more suited to#animation bc of the simpleness and smears. maybe that will help me explore shapes and perspective when i draw... i wanna get better#at drawing poses and angles but i have a hard time wrapping my head around space and using perspective guide lines NGHHHH#i wonder if it has to do with my dogshit ability to judge distance. not depth perception but like. judge how far smth is in metres etc#im also wearing an N95 for the first couple weeks back bc of the wave. absolutely NO BODY is wearing a mask its so fucking over#where im sitting ive heard 5 different people coughing probably not into their elbows!!! and im just. head in my fucking hands#there was a kid sitting a couple seats away in class coughing as he pleases and i wanted to grab him in a chokehold so badly. PLEASEE#ive been annoying my family by asking them to mask up and reminding them to bring masks when they go out and showing them news articles#but at least its working bc we ordered some KN95s and my mom is at least taking me seriously so. please dont be afraid to speak up abt your#health. take care of yourself and others however u can!! wear that mask indoors at your maskless friends house!!! stay home when u can!!#im wearing a surgical mask at home too bc my parents have '''a dry throat cough''' and they are so bad at coughing into their sleeves#also im pretty sure dry throat isnt transmissible bc my brother started coughing too so.. i also tested negative but they havent tested yet#im also not a doctor but i have to keep reminding ppl whenever i can that covid and flu work differently. covid is new and too recent to#have nearly as much research done on it. it seems its also compounding so instead of building immunity it weakens the body and spreads to#to other systems which might explain brain fog and muscle weakness. i remember someone early in the pandemic got infected and it messed up#their smell/taste receptors so bad that they cant eat most foods and that stays in the front of my mind when i think abt covid. christ#yapping

🔥?
okay i know this isn’t the answer u were looking for but i just clocked out of the worst shift of my life so this is just on my mind rn:
if ur rude to service workers i genuinely think something is fucking wrong w you and u need to take time out of ur day to self reflect and figure out how to fix that about yourself. like just cos the Bitch Factory is open that doesn’t mean u have to fucking clock in i don’t care how hungry u are or if ur goldfish died or if u got hit by a fucking bus. you’re an adult—learn how to control your fucking temper
#i’ve never cried at work over work-related things#but that bitch at table 10 struck a crazy nerve#like sorry if this isn’t v customer service of me but i worked in the kitchen before this so im not afraid to yell at some customers !#but idk i just froze up in front of her she was so crazy mad at me which is like.#you’re an adult fucking act like it. which i feel like ppl are getting more and more used to as time passes#but it’s not enough do not fucking treat me like u hate me bc u sat *urself* during a busy friday night#like you’re literally giving aliens first day on earth vibes that is NOT how restaurants work#ok i’m done im literally still so heated over something that table 10 bitch isn’t even thinking about rn#i’m going to bed gn#beep beep#<3#no actually i’m coming back bc i ALSO think that if anything ppl are becoming more entitled#“can u make an exception for me? 🥺” so what’s so crazy is that exceptions are for ppl who actually need them. not ppl w poor time managemen

Thoughts about your AU where Matoro is stuck in the Ignika. (And probably Mata Nui, too.)
- Mata Nui didn't want to retreat entirely. But he'd just recently recovered from a coma, a seizure, brain damage, and damage to his heart and more of his insides. Then he socialized with people in the first time ever, worried about his people, was diminished, then fought Makuta who was in the Great Spirit Robot.
He needed another nap after all that.
- The exertion also weakened Matoro and Ignika. Ignika still has their defenses up - no touching or coming closer without their consent - but both of them were barely aware of their surroundings for a while.
- Matoro hears voices he knows talking to him. He wishes he could answer them - they often sound so sad - but he's so tired... (And to talk with him they have to don the Ignika. Which is still very dangerous for most people even with Ignika's consent.)
- However, Matoro can write with ice energy. (And do pranks. It's sometimes very boring being stuck in one place.)
- As for who can don the Ignika safely:
The Toa Mahri
Kiina and Ackar and Berix
Wairuha or Akamai (because of their connection to Mata Nui)
Vakama because he created the Mask of Time and wore it
- Ignika is lowkey scared of Vakama. They sense time-fuckery around him.
- People do rotations on a voluntary base where they read to the Ignika or tell stories. It started with Kiina who wanted to share her adventures and new experiences and hoped Mata Nui would hear her. It grew from there as a way to honor Matoro and Mata Nui and Ignika and others who died to protect the GSR inhabitants and Spherus Magna inhabitants.
Then it turns around they're still there, that they can hear them, and that they're bored.
- Mata Nui, listening and observing, has a lot of time for self-reflection. He wonders who he is: He doesn't want to be a god. Being a god didn't help him against Makuta. He couldn't help his people because he was unaware that everybody had become self-aware.
It's also amazing how big this new world is. Not in size, but in the amount and variety of lived experiences.
AAAAAA I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED THIS SOMEHOW I'M SORRY
Honestly I love all of this!! "Mata Nui is tired of being god" is one of my favourite takes on the character tbh so having him just like. completely fine with just having a nap for an undetermined amount of time in the Ignika is great lmao. He has dealt with so many medical problems in the last 1000 years he needs a nap. A real one this time, not a forcibly induced coma.
I think that Nuju would also be able to wear the Ignika, if only because 95% of the time when someone gets to wear it it's because either Matoro or Mata Nui is calming Ignika down and trusts that person completely. I also think, however, that Nuju would abjectly refuse to put it on. Absolutely not. That thing killed his closest companion. (He does go talk to it in Bird sometimes, though. If nobody else is around to see him. He has his pride. The other Turaga all 100% know though)
People Matoro Has Pranked:
All of the Mahri at least twice each
Takanuva
Berix
Kopeke (only once and he felt really bad about it after)
Nuparu also constantly comes by with various ideas for contraptions to allow Matoro (and Mata Nui by extension) to be able to communicate better. None of them work but they appreciate the effort
If Matoro thought being attached to Mata Nui was weird, actively sharing headspace with him is even weirder somehow. Mata Nui is nothing if not a considerate roommate(?) and Generally A Pretty Swell Guy. They wind up becoming pretty close friends once Matoro is finally able to get over the whole Great Spirit thing.
#bionicle#in the mata nui/ackar fic i'm slowly working on mata nui is anxious about like. the concept of sleep#he confesses to ackar that the first night he was on bara magna when he lay down to sleep he wound up meditating all night instead#because he was afraid he would fall asleep and not wake up again#and so he doesn't sleep for like. 3 days when he first arrives until ackar is like 'OK BUT YOU NEED TO SLEEP THO. PLEASE GO TO SLEEP'#but i also love this idea where he's like 'alright goodnight everyone. please don't make me god again when i wake up i hated that a lot <3'#matoro ignika au

random oc facts, of the "they have problems" flavor
#oc talk#1- luca developed claustrophobia from the time he was locked in the school's bathroom by her bullies#2- chase got his depression from his mom; who also has it; except she goes to therapy and has meds so its now somewhat controlled#he was quite the spoiled kid by both his parents but his mom was the one who would always agree with him and give him everything#even if he was in the wrong and the worst piece of shit he could be. she felt guilty about him getting clinical depression for 'her fault'#so she wanted to 'compensate him' for 'ruining his life'. he was still pretty harsh with both of them so.#one day he told her to kill herself and go to hell over a minor thing; that same night he went to see finnley#so he never knew his mom actually tried to kill herself if thats what he wanted. his dad was kinda bitter for a few days#but eventually forgave him. and as i said none of them told him anything so he never knew.#3- maverick still gets nervous when he sees cops or hears police sirens - hes always on the edge#whether theyre going to actually arrest him some day. he doesnt know if zachary's body was ever found as he avoided tv for that reason#like he hid it in an abandoned house. it was a horrible hiding place but it was the closest he had and he was panicking with a dead body#so its not like he could do the smartest things in that state. also of course he left his dna everywhere- finding him would be really easy#but it never happened since zachary came back before anyone noticed his disappearance. and with a new appearance#its was like the old zachary people knew just stopped existing entirely. you cant do a murder case without a body#so it was just labeled as a sudden disappearance. however mav is paranoid over it when in his non-empty state#and when hes empty hes so focused in finding someone new to obsess over he stops caring- maybe he could even find someone on prison!#4- rafael doesnt talks to his family due to charlotte manipulating him into believing theyre all horrible people who hate her#and in fact they hate her! mostly his sister. they hate what she did to their son/brother but hes so blind and easy to manipulate#they stopped trying to knock some common sense into him. his sister was afraid this would happen eventually bc he was always gullible#SPECIALLY when hes in love. and well guess what happened!!#5- on the topic of charlotte; she has both tried to kill herself AND kill someone. well; her 'suicide attempt' was more likely#wanted to get hospitalized but not *actually* ending her life. in her mind that would make her parents notice how much they hurt her#with their 'favoritism' towards raven. girl they literally never had a favoritism YOU are the one who think so!!!#she never got what she wanted though-- she ended up vomiting the pills and suddenly got too embarrassed to talk about it#and guess who she wanted to kill? exactly; raven! they would sometimes see each other on family reunions and it was weird#she bought anti-freezer and brought it to a reunion-- she has been on a barista course so technically no one would think anything#if she made drinks for everyone. but raven was just so insistent on seeing the process-- due to actual curiosity-- that she couldnt do it#so she came home with an anti-freezer and incredible frustrated lmao. she was 17 though so its not like it was thoroughly planned#but you know. the intention was there.

hm
#i hatehatehate that sometimes things do get better if you do the 'wrong' things#like. ok my second lobe is kinda irritated rn. big ol bump on the back you know the stuff.#but a day or two ago it got worse than it was and. it was prettyy badd whoops#but. i tried my best. i was conscience to not touch it too much and to not really sleep on it etcetc.#untill last night when i couldnt handle it anymore and fucking itched at it.#and. it was gross. puss came out and it was actually disgusting but.#it did get better after. its slimming down again. its so much more manageable now than before i did the bad thing.#sillyposting#and.#im afraid because i know. that this isnt just for physical stuff.#i would. i would lovee to *******. i would.#and i dont see whats truly 'bad' about it.#i want to say i understand why its wrong but tbh. i dont get it. i can grasp the basics but when i think about it they keep slipping#and this very much has to do with how i handled it previously. and i know that doing it would technically be bad and i dont want to do it.#but. it could make some of my days easier to manage i think.#and if i have to suffer for a full day id rather. not.#i would like to stop feeling so shitty sometimes and if i have to do something i dont see the truly bad part of it.... why shouldnt i?#hmhmhmhmhmjmhmmmmm#oh welll =w=bb#i wont. bc people around me could get worried. not like theyll say anything about it but =3=#actually i wont bc what if my parents take 10K from my savings again :3c i wouldnt like that ermmm#theyre slowly giving it back dw but also. still wth#okk

Why you all got ok mothers leave some for the rest of us
#hello?????#my mother had me exorcised when i was 16#or 17#my father beat my mother when i was a kid and would randomly lash out based on literally nothing#calling me (aged 3-14) and my mother cunts and whores and all kinds of slurs and threatening to beat or kill us#and every once in a while he'd just get up and leave for a week without telling anyone. we had only one car so mother had#to find alternative ways to get to work (grandparents had no car at the time) (we lived in a tiny rural village)#when he came back he never apologized and just told my mother 'you know how i am. what else do you even expect?'#he also threatened to beat me up whenever i cried or got scared or sad or embarrassed. i was not allowed to be anything but#happy. anger was also allowed but obviously not towards my parents. if i did that i would get locked in a room for several hours#if i self-harmed while locked in there i got yelled at but that just told me that i needed to self-harm more to please my parents#i think i internalised that because when i disobeyed them when i was very small (like...3-5 years) they'd spank me with a wooden spoon or#give me a strong head slap or two. i came to expect violence and when they stopped because it just made me more volatile#i felt the need to enact that expected violence upon myself.#i was unimaginably afraid for my life and for my mother's life until i was about 14. i used to pray for my father's death#but then again i prayed for my mother's death too#i had nightly night terrors about coming home from school and seeing blood everywhere and him kneeling over my mother's corpse#a lot of my good dreams revolved around killing him. i dreamed of coming home before he could kill her and stopping him#in a way i dreamed of being at least 50% safe.#both of my parents also beat me for being neurodivergent and lashes oit whenever i asked too many questions or couldn't#understand something. i always got either the r slur or i got told that I'm just playing a r*tard#to spite and anger them. everything i did in my life was specifically to anger them in their eyes.#i hated both of them so so much and i loved both of them so much and I didn't know how to put it all together#i hated that the father who took me to fairs and played football with me was the father whose touch had a 70 % chance of being violent#i flinched when seeing a hand move until i was 19 and screamed when getting hugged by anyone until i turned 17#my mother's physical violence was something other adults found funny - if she didn't spank me with a spoon; she'd#hit my arms until they got all red and numb and my crying just made her angrier. she still does this. I'm 22.#but when i accidentally ask the wrong question - the retarded one - when i do something to set her off she just hits my#arm until it doesn't even hurt anymore because i stop feeling it altogether. i don't cry because of the pain but because I'm scared#and sorry and embarrassed and guilty. and anyway we don't have tags left for my mother's abuse
