#I'm so sick of mindlessly scrolling tiktok

[articulately-composed]

Let me know if I'm missing the mark here, but I think the netflixification of tv shows has ruined their ability to be obsession-worthy, and in turn, is contributing to all of us being just a little bit more depressed.

Maybe it's just me, but an 8 episode series that can be binged in a day does not scratch the itch I need to be scratched. It's a nice little distraction, but once it's over, it's over, and it stops occupying my brain space. I'm not being given enough time to mull over the characters or get excited about the next episode coming out. I was sick this past week, and ended up binging two 8-episode netflix series', and sure, they were good, but they're over now. my brain is done with them.

And I know people have been talking for ages about how the "chuck all the episodes on the streaming platform at once for max bingeability" method is killing fandoms, but I can't help but think it's making us all a bit more depressed too. We have nothing to look forward to week to week. Life is a constant cycle of dragging ourselves to work for the privilege to keep our basic human needs met, and now we don't even have that one day a week we can look forward to to watch our blorbos do something new.

And yes, I know some streaming services have been trying to remedy this by spreading out episode releases, like what Max did with Fionna and Cake, but again. 8 episodes. not enough time to get extremely invested.

basically, I'm just begging networks to bring back 26 ep seasons with weekly releases. Please, I need new blorbos. It's been ages.

Not me so fucking happy the highly addictive brain melting app is getting pulled from the app store in 8 months.

Go to bed ~ Leon Kuwata x Male Reader

Leon trying to flirt word count: 650 m!reader (no genitalia mentioned) / FDNI

It was early in the evening, 9pm sharp

You'd been scrolling mindlessly on tiktok for the past hour

You come across a video you felt you just needed to share, so you post it on your Insta story

Hoping you can making your friends giggle at it

Of course, Sayaka replies to it, and the two of you spiral into a conversation

But halfway through your convo with Sayaka, you get a message from none other than Leon

You and Leon were good friends, you liked the red-head, you went to hid games and cheered him on louder than anyone else

He fucking loved it when he heard your voice in the crowd

Leon had recently realised he had the fattest crush on you, so he did what any reasonable person would do and asked a friend for help

However, that friend he asked was Mondo.

Who encouraged Leon to talk to you as much as he could and to try exert dominance

"Cause a guy like (y/n) would totally love a dominant typa guy ya know?" - verbatim Mondo's advice to Leon

You end your conversation with Sayaka and go check what Leon sent you

It was a short reply to your story

"Go to bed, it's late"

You audibly chuckled, you looked at the time on your phone

It was barely 9:30

What the hell was Leon on to be going to bed so early?

"Bro it's 9:30 it's so early wdym???"

"This is actually late for me, I go to bed at 9 pm, its much better for you yk"

"Oh really now?"

"Yeah, clearly why I'm so much healthier and better than you"

Oh no...

Leon clearly misunderstood the kind of dominance Mondo meant.

....

....

"(Y/n)? You still there?"

You left him on seen again and then shut off your phone

"Oi (y/n)!"

"Shit please dont ignore me."

"I'm sorry okay"

"(Y/nnnnn)"

Leon was panicking, spam texting you as you put your phone on silent and went to bed

Guess he achieved his goal of getting you to go to bed

But he pissed you off while doing so

Truthfully you didn't care, Leon was ditzy from time to time and didn't think before he spoke

You were used to it

But you took up the opportunity to make the man frantic

You weren't thick, you knew the baseball player was crushing on you

And you were crushing on him too, hard

So knowing that Leon was now worrying that he messed up his chances with you gave you a sick pleasure - you didn't care if it was just the tiniest bit toxic

The next morning you woke up well rested

Your phone now plastered with message notifications from a certain ginger

You open them and send one quick message

"Oops I fell asleep sorry... Guess you are better than me for that haha ❤️"

Leon stopped in his tracks when he read that message, toothpaste falling out of his mouth as he froze

The sportsman quickly finished brushing his teeth and screenshot the message

Sending it to Mondo, frantically messaging him

"WHAT DOES THE HEART MEAN OMFG WHAT???"

"AHHHHH"

"HFHFJFHSJDNDN"

"Dude chill.... he defo fucks with u" mondo replies half asleep

Leon short-circuits, mindlessly changing as thoughts of a relationship with you fly through his head

He was like a schoolgirl, but he had reason to, in his eyes you were the finest of men

"Good morning~" you say with a smile as you sit down next to the muscular man

"Hey, beautiful~" he mumbles flirtily

"Oh? That's a new one?"

"Yeahhh figured I should up my game if I wanna get with you by the end of the year"

Holy shit you were shocked just how much that one heart emoji riled the ginger up

"Hold your horses, BallBoy... who said I was getting with you?" You tease him

"Oh just you wait, (n/n)..."

Short but eh whatevs!!

This has happened to me before - I doubt he meant it as anything but I just remember the situation while writing this and wtaf...

Anyway hope u enjoyed!

Days 2, 3, 4, and 5 of my 2k life

Sorry about that everyone! Day 2 I was very sick and days 3,4 and 5 were spent recovering and packing (we're in the middle of a move 😅)

ANYWHO! In the past 5 days, I haven't touched TikTok AT ALL!!! which for me is incredible because I used to use it constantly to disassociate from reality and put off doing things!

I have touched IG simply bc I needed to contact a professor of mine who isn't responding to their email lol but other than that I haven't scrolled on it mindlessly and I definitely don't touch reels, bc who does really? 😒

But what I REALLY wanted to talk about in this post was what I'm working on for this blog...

I'm making a "My 2k Life" Youtube channel! I'll be talking about the stuff I post and reblog on here like fave food, clothes, stores, movies, shows, and more! And I'll be doing it all wearing 90s cartoon shirts and accessorizing with 90s-esq jewelry! Its gonna be a 90's/00's BONANZA!

I just finished filming 2 episodes on snacks and stores! It was so fun to reminisce about stuff I miss from the 90s! I'm also thinking about doing a taste test episode where I buy the 90s snacks they're bringing back to see if they hold up to the OG!

I hope you guys will enjoy the videos and I'll post the first one soon!

Until then, stay Golden!

Hi andie 💕 I just saw that you’re sick, so I wanted to drop by & ask how you’re doing? I hope you get well soon & that you can use the weekend to rest & recover!!

Ahhh hello my angel!! I'm okay, thank you for asking!! I have been eating plenty of soup and drinking plenty of water and napping a buttload, and I'm already feeling better!!

I have also been scrolling sooo mindlessly through tiktok which I usually do not do but the bougie cooking videos got me hooked. :/ I'm imagining what I'm gonna cook when my sense of taste returns to me lol.

You're so sweet, thank you so much for checking in on me. It means a lot.🥺🥺

jan.12th.2022..fuck 2022?

recently, ive had no drive to write. to express my emotions and take the time out of my day to take a pencil to a paper and just mindlessly write. maybe its because ive been busy? im working finally and its taken up a majority of my time. plus, ive also started classes again. and, im in a relationship with someone. those three main things take up a majority of my time. i obviously do other things but they are all mind-numbing. scrolling through tiktok or other social media platforms, eating, watching some bullshit on youtube or netflix.

wow. its 2022 huh? a new year. we're 12 days into and it feels like so much has happened. i dyed my and cut my hair, my parents relationship is falling apart, the pandemic is still ongoing and getting worse, I'm questioning my major, I'm in a relationship and the world seems to be coming to a slow but sure ending. perhaps that's just me being dramatic. but things haven't felt right for awhile. but as a society we will continue to ignore it and focus on the now instead of the detrimental later.

its two days into classes and I feel as though I'm already lacking motivation. the need to succeed as they would say. but, I will keep pushing. if it means that my future will hold more possibilities. i know college is a scam but, I've already jumped into the water and there's no getting out.

i left home from break new years day. i couldn't handle being there another day. but when I leave, I feel guilty. so guilty it makes me sick to my stomach. seeing my mother so unhappy and stuck in an abusive relationship crushes me. there's only so much can do. and to see my sisters; my girls, go through the same thing I did...if not worse kills me. i want nothing more than to give my mother and the girls the world. they deserve it. but, if I were to give them the world..that would mean sacrificing myself and my future. Im pretty sure i wrote about this before but...for so long i hated my brother. He left me with my crazy parents. He had the saving grace of my grandparents. Sometimes I wish I could have stayed with my grandparents but I wouldn't be the person I am today. My brother was taken away from my house's bullshit in his early teens. He had things handed to him for the most part but I know he struggled with a lot.

the last time I wrote. i felt pretty heavily against my mother. but the more time I think about it. the more I empathize with her. she's just trying to be happy. she's been the number one in my life. the only person that hasn't switched up. its only right to do the same thing. a couple years ago, she felt happy with my step father. but years have passed and he's grown into a different person. the new person that he's grown into, she doesn't love. and that is okay. he is so manipulative and there's nothing I can do. you know how people say, "its much easier said than done"? that line has never been truer.

sometimes, I think of my sisters as my own. granted, I didn't birth them. but I stand by the fact that I raised them more than my step father ever has. truth be told, I did an okay job. not a good job but an okay one. it started from changing their diapers, to watching them, to introducing them to a new world of things. my 2nd youngest sister is on the varsity basketball team and is doing well in school. not that it matters but she is popular and has a huge clan of friends. my youngest sister, is having a hard time...but I see so much potential in her. she is going to do amazing things. she's good at drawing and is so creative. maybe its selfish and crude to say I helped raised them. but I guarantee you that I helped change more of the girls diapers than my stepfather did. not to mention, I was going to school, trying to make my own friends all at the age of 9 and up.

ANFDNFSDIFNSIDNFISDF anyways, obviously...my life has been heavily consumed in regards to my family. i try to steer away, but its so hard. as shitty as this sounds, sometimes I wish could be like Rue in euphoria and just not give a fuck. do harsh drugs and not give a damn where my life is headed. but as I said....Easier said than done.
