Odypen definitely and equivalently adore each other BUT I weirdly can't see them as the type to actually say "I Love you".
They still definitely vocalize their love for each other but it's more so in "My Joy", and "Extraordinary Woman", "Strange Woman/Man", etc. And very cheesy lines (both say some cheesy shit in the Odyssey, and he definitely does in the Iliad as well. "Joy like a drowning sailor seeing land" bit???)
I could see "I adore you" but even then, that's probably during very specific moments but the actual "I love you"??? I just typed it just now for fic shit and... It weirdly just didn't feel right and I don't know why. 😅
Idk maybe it's kind of because I see them as over the top in ways, they love wordplay and riddles and I think they'd almost think "...That's not good enough >:( " about it??? I don't know???😂
#I wrote this last night. I'll do the asks I got later. don't worry! :D#I am the cheese god remember?😅#I think these two would try to “out-cheese” each other and whoever is left speechless first loses#“I would forget my own name before I would ever forget you” bullshit. CHEESY#And yes. “I sleep in our nest with you or outside on the dirt” stupidity >:D#I plan for Odysseus as a beggar to ask why she waits so long. As he's been gone a longer amount of time than the time they had together#(Simply asking as reassurance. He knows his answer. Calypso asked him. but what about Penelope?) but she gets mad at the#“Beggar” and pities him as he must be telling the truth about having a miserable life if he never got the chance to know such devotion#How what they have could never be sullied by#something as trivial as distance and years. How the years with him were the best in her life. Only made better by their son.#'My dear Joy made songs and poems about love a reality as that was simply the life we shared. Even separated our 'song' will always echo#no matter how long it's been. I'LL make sure it always does. And I know he's doing the same... That strange man used to say that#even if he died his corpse would drag itself back to us before he'd ever give up.'#...I'm not one for 'odyssey zombie au' but when I first heard it yeah. :'D Came up with this back then#“His eyes as hard as flint or horn-” Bullshit! The sad lil fuck is hiding sobs with coughs and telling her to keep away for fear of her#catching whatever “illness” he has. The nice thing about being disguised as old means sickly old man works.#...#I'm noticing that Odysseus has a lot of silly oneliners while I write Penelope with a shit ton of set up :'D#They are so silly and I love them so much#...I wrote a lot :'D#Mad rambles#shot by odysseus#my headcanons#odypen#yahoo!!!#sometimes I wonder if I should tag this with more things but I don't want to taint the regular tags with my bullshit :'D I KNOW I'm insane

#i have been sobbing or alternatively holding back tears through sheer force of will for 13 hours#and i'm exhausted#welcome to the part of rags that processes on a delay#i'm a great person to have in an emergency#the emotional crap hits the fan afterward#the church is breaking my heart#and yet all of this -gestures wildly- is succeeding in making me look a little more kindly on history#a previous me would often ask#'where was the church/the good people during the crusades and the events that led up to the trail of tears and the holocaust' and on and on#and i think the answer is they were right there#history is afterall not written by who loved best but by who won#they were right there#loving hard and weeping and trying and crying out to God to turn his people's hearts back to mercy and away from power#today's endless and damless lament can be compared to only a handful of times in my life so far#(thank heaven for that)#the unexpected death of a friend and the borderline nervous breakdown at the lowest point of depression#and then you have today#it's such a tangle of things and too complicated for even me to name a lot of it#but most of it is heartbreak from how the (especially american bc that is where i am) church is failing Christ and each other and the world#i can handle bad from the world#i cannot hold the weight of this idolatry to power#thank God this place is not my home and that the church#though deeply wounded by its own excesses and self-serving#is being redeemed and forever belongs to Christ and his kingdom#these kingdoms of earth shatter and trample us#the only thing to hold onto is the kingdom of heaven#i have cried myself sick and i'm going to bed

I don't really know what else to do. I'm finishing up my Merit America job training program. I'm applying to jobs in my field with no luck. I'm applying to retail jobs with no luck. I'm reaching out to local mutual aid groups (too soon to tell if that'll be any help). I'm waiting for a $100 microgrant I earned through Merit to come in. I've talked to my therapist, I've talked to my job coach, I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing and none of it is bearing fruit.
I have enough to pay my bills in November but nothing else. I'm rationing shampoo. My bank account will be empty by December 1st. At this rate I'll be getting my car repossessed for Christmas. I have no other support. If my mom hadn't paid her house off years ago I'd be living in my car right now. My parents live on a fixed income; they have nothing left to give.
So if you have money to burn and this silly blog has brought you any delight at all, could you toss some spare change my way?
#my diary#cue the sad trombone kerri's internet panhandling on the poverty website again#when will it be my turn with the communal ten dollars#I shouldn't DepressionPost but at this point I'm floundering and have no other options so#I'm frustrated and mad as hell if I'm honest#if america was a true meritocracy and it only took hard work to get anywhere I'd be a millionaire by now#but it isn't and it doesn't and I have 300 dollars to my name for the rest of my life#I got self-conscious and buried this post a little lmao#ty for boosting it I'm doin my best#and I feel like I'm now at the point where internet panhandling is a logical next step#I'm trying to be optimistic about it

Ack. So I used my school google account for my main @minty-bubblegum . I never thought to change the Gmail hooked to it or to set an email and password. So now I'm locked out. I have no idea what to do and I'm stressing really bad bc I do not want to lose my blog and I can't access it to change my email. For now I will be alternating between this blog, @mintys-losthermarbles and basically all my spam reblog accounts. If anyone knows how to contact support of such please help :((
Tagging mutuals from what I remember:
@theleechyskrunkly @xen-blank @haruhar-u @cheezy-moon @dove-da-birb @red-viewe @citrusitonit @xptobie @the-banana-0verlord
#I know a lot of names are slipping my mind#It's really hard to think rn#Because I'm panicking sm#I had almost 60 followers there and most were mutuals#Please do not take it to heart I'm trying my best to remember#I'm really scared too#I'm gonna cry ugh 😭😭😭

Have you heard about the news with Nicholas Braun?
yup. it was all over twitter and i was so disappointed of him and i hate him for that. i hope everyone who was affected by his disgusting actions, especially those who are brave enough to come out and speak up, are doing better now.
personally though i will still continue watching succession because this is one of my favorite shows for years and i can't let one horrid man ruin that for me. it's going to be a weird couple of weeks and consuming this show wouldn't be as fun as before, especially as someone enjoys making art of greg and tomgreg in extension. but we move
#ask#i'm trying to separate the fictional character greg from the actor nicholas braun because they are not the same person#it's hard bc they share the same face and voice and i couldnt help but get pissed at him sometimes bc it just reminds me of That#but greg isn't nick and i will continue loving cousin greg from succession#and wont be bringing up nick in this blog again#but if you guys are uncomfortable of seeing greg content from my blog feel free to unfollow mute or block me#youre ur own person and i am mine so do what you think is best for you. this is just me and my take on this#nicholas braun#tagging the name for people here who have his name muted and didnt want this topic in their dash

#Doodles#Just Desserts#Villainsona#Still vent-like! Helped put my head in order anyhow so - helpful :)#Sweet Coffee to lower Charm's anxieties hehe <3 Who could have ever guessed how accurate he'd be!#I really do need to sit down and give everyone names he deserves one! He's only ever had the one name (not Coffee lol)#His first attempt wasn't great lol way to intentionally misinterpret his meaning Charm#It's hard to be positive in that kind of mindset but he's trying to help!#Coffee does also have foot-in-mouth syndrome tho so there's that lol#Doesn't Try to minimize or callously redirect he really does try his best he's just still a bit clumsy haha#This was never his practice! He's always been a troublemaker of a kind!#He's just getting his practice in haha#Oh yeah and he gets a new outfit since I was offline while drawing him pft#He's always been androgynous he's allowed to have the clasps on the other side - even if it does make him off-model lol#He's always had masculine closures on his clothes now that I think of it....I think? Might need to go through his backlog actually#Then again I'm talking about the character he used to be and not necessarily who he is now lol - moving character from fandom to fandom#ANYway lol#Isn't this supposed to be about Charm or something who's the main character again pft#Charm's canonical least favourite feeling is feeling foolish! It's The Feeling that makes her seek out the Staff#But! She's (trying to be) reformed! So that's not really an option! Doesn't make the feeling go away tho#She carries the same response with her since she hasn't figured out how to healthfully respond to it#So anything that creates That Feeling is scary! She doesn't have an out! Feels cornered - and that stress adds to it#What if This Thing makes her feel That Way when she doesn't want to! She /wants/ to trust and love and be happy and healthy#But the precedent#Reminding her that she doesn't have to repeat her actions just because it Feels a certain way is important!#It's not something you have to run away from or lash out against - it hurts but it's momentary#Promise :)

this is a stupid question but how do I come to good terms with people who nearly got me to commit suicide
#I'm just trying to Not act like an asshole to specific people because unlike the others I don't see them regularly in servers anymore#Especially since that suicide was straight up just me acting impulsively and trued my best to not do that since I had to go to work the nex#- month#And just#Idk#I'm trying my best to straight up admit names but#God#At least one of them tried to apologise (but I doubt they know about the nearly committing suicide part)#And the other is as dense as a fucking neutron star#But like#I wish they (and the other) know just how much damage it has caused to me#Then again#Maybe bad timing#Look I really wanna take my mental health more seriously but I somehow always convince myself that this is all just bad timing#But it's hard to think that they're not doing it on purpose#+ other shit going on in my life at the time

looking into some self-publishing options..... because i’m Insane.
#s.txt#plan A is still trying to get a website set up. but plan A is hard and i'm lazy.#plan B will be. seeing which online publishing option will fuck me over the LEAST in the long run#also i was looking into. editing options. and it's all so... elementary. what do you mean people pay other people just to like. proofread.#go over grammar. sentence structure. etc etc. thats so.#so now i'm Sure this story is. Coherent. i'm waiting for Someone Anyone to finish it and tell me if it slays.#and once THAT happens.... hopefully i'll find the best option to Release it.....#the THING abt using an ebook publisher is. attaching my name to this thang. i'd prefer. to be Anonymous. in the entire process. ough.#i'm still in the very. exploratory stages of looking where to host thing thang though.... maybe i find a better option.

Are you going to be drawing any of the human characters for spirits AU?
Also what are the spirits just wondering?
I plan to eventually, yeah, I'm just having more fun drawing non-human characters right now. XD As for what they are, I still only have a really loose idea for this AU, so things are definitely subject to change as I decide on story elements and plot lines and etc, but the simplest way I can think of to frame this AU idea, is just, inspired by things like Spirited Away (And Studio Ghibli movies in general to an extent), Over the Garden Wall, and so on. Rather than Animatronics, Freddy and co are whimsical and mysterious "spirit" or maybe even "crypitd" like creatures to an extent. :3 Likely with different magical abilities, and/or different elements and/or concepts they have sway over. It'll likely be some time before I can really devote much into the writing and story elements of this AU, since I have my current fic to finish, and again, a lot will likely change between now and then with the unnamed "Spirits AU", but that's the general vibes rattling around in my head for now. Don't have a lot beyond design ideas and vibes at the moment though unfortunately. ^^;
#insomniac hyena rambles#asks#apologies if my answers aren't the best. my mind is all over the place lately#hard to focus on one thing at a time/haven't had time yet to fully settle on plots and elements for the Spirits AU#I'm still trying to find a name/title for it even after all XD;#but yeah. it's. mostly designs and vibes right now I'm ngl#but I'm excited for when I do have proper time to work on it!#Thanks for the ask! :3

had a trans meetup today and a mom who recently learned her kid was trans and was clearly in distress about it came to ask for advice and all and ough my heart
#i Love moments like these THATS WHY WE HAVE THE MEETUPS#so we can help each other and anyone who needs it#she accepted her daughter she was just having a hard time with using the right pronouns and name#and she was so worried that she would be making her kid miserable by getting it wrong#idk something about people coming together to help each other like that#she was almost crying with joy when she left after we had reassured her like she felt so much better#just hearing us talk about our own experiences and telling her she was trying her best and that's what matters#something something my existence is making someone else's easier#and she was like. really sweet she kept apologizing like SORRY i'm probably using the wrong words and being so rude...#and we were like noooo don't worry we know you're new to this it's ok you're doing your best

sometimes I feel... silly. for saying I have the disorders/illnesses/etc that I have because I’m not diagnosed and the little internalized ableism monster in my head telling me it’s “too many” but also like. I’ve taken a VERY long time sitting down and evaluating these things about myself and I still don’t like. allow myself to use certain diagnostic labels despite fitting most, if not all, of the criteria. It feels like a fine line to walk, understanding that self-diagnosis is in a lot of cases critical, just as a professional diagnosis can be! I have my reasons for using the labels I do and identifying with what I do, just as I have my reasons for not seeking diagnosis, and I think at the end of the day whether I choose to use them or not, I know I’m doing all I can to use them with respect.
#mud rambles#I guess I'm afraid of making people with a diagnosis feel that I'm just playing around when I say I have [x] disorder#despite the fact that I am struggling with this shit every day and I've spent years trying to put a name to what I'm dealing with#and STILL am. to this very day#like. it's not my fault it's not safe or even an option for me to get diagnosed but eugh. like i said. internalized ableism and allthat#it's hard dealing with so many issues at once feeling like it's 'too many' which like in the first place is not a thing#with the combination of comorbidities and the fact that like. trauma can continue to happen to you and create More Disorders#at the end of the day i just gotta remind myself that i'm very much not doing this for fun lmfao#i just. have these issues. and am doing my best to deal with em#also doesn't help having a huge fear of 'being wrong' but! I'm working on that so it's not as much of an issue as it used to be#anyway. was just on my mind

in today's installment of "I have personal conversations with my parents once a year" I learned that I was a twin and may possibly have chimerism
#lol. lmao even#i am 21 years old and I'm just now hearing about this because I brought up chimera cats to my mom#the twin thing is fucking WILD to me#the medical implications of chimerism make sense honestly given the sort of medical issues i already have but. a TWIN#she said she was bleeding a little so its more likely she just miscarried the other one and not me#but. is it super dramatic of me to say that i feel sort of like ive lost something lol#like. what gender was it. what was its name. it was too early to have those things but. man a fucking TWIN#this is stupid because I HAVE a brother and we would still have been raised in the same household under the same circumstances#so like. its 100% possible they would have grown up into a person I greatly dislike like how I am w my actual sibling#but. shit lol. a fucking twin.#I never in a million years would have thought that#I would have thought chimerism was more likely over a TWIN#what if. do you think if i had kids i would have fucking twins. are you kidding#im very conflicted about this lol it feels like a fun fact but i am in fact on the verge of tears#it almost feels fake. like what do you mean i was a twin#would I still have been the oldest? did i kill it? did i absorb it?#im going to try really hard to not psychoanalyze this because separated/missing twin psychology seems like psuedoscience at best#but im actually kind of upset about this lol#i had such a hard time socializing as a kid and you're telling me i almost had a sibling i could have learned from?#would they have had autism too? would we have understood each other the way only two neurodivergent people can?#its nobody's fault obviously but if i had someone that HAD to like me between the ages of 0-10 i would be such a different person#if i had a twin in high school people would have known who i was. i wouldn't have been the kid who people barely remembered#there were 2 sets of twins in my graduating class and everyone knew their names. you could say ''the twins'' and they knew them#frankly that sounds awful but like. fuck man i would have developed socially so much easier#i dont feel like im missing someone i feel sort of like i AM them. lmao#my mom did say specifically ''you're a chimera! it was twins and then i started bleeding a little and my next ultrasound it was just you''#so i COULD have chimerism but it also could have just been like vanishing twin syndrome#but i dont think ill be able to tell unless i take a dna test?? fucking christ lol add that to the list of shit i have to do#man. im gonna have to think about this for a long time lmao#miscarriage tw

Sometimes I forget that I'm actually a music journalist. Not just a music journalist, but a professional. A professional with a strong portfolio and more than three years of experience. I'm paid to write, which was my dream for years. I'm paid... to write. And not just to write, but to write about something I love.
It doesn't often feel real. Maybe because I love it. Maybe because I'm always a fan before I'm a journalist. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I interview a musician and get to hear their voice, hear them greet me by name, and hear them answer my questions with the professionalism expected in that exchange. I still get flustered when my content is used for promotional posts. I still flip back through the first print magazine I was published in, and I savor the feeling of glossy pages beneath my fingers. I still smile
I hope the universe knows I don't take a single moment or opportunity for granted.
#today a band with over 700k followers shared something of mine on their page#and mentioned me by name#and I felt like a little kid who just got handed a basket of kittens#it's so easy to look at these things - no matter how regularly they happen#and be as surprised as I am excited#because I'm 'just' me#as though I haven't spent three years fighting tooth and nail to make my reputation#I am going to try to remember to be grateful and excited#but give myself credit where it is due#and to be clear - this is far from the first time this sort of thing has happened#the imposter syndrome still hits hard you know#biggest shoutout goes to my editor who connects me with these awesome opportunities#and always makes sure my work is polished and at its best#anyway ramble in the post and ramble in the tags#just weird to realize I worked really hard at something#and actually became successful in that area#and now I'm seeing the natural results of that as though it's totally unexpected

I think something ive been pushing off so much that i keep forgetting how big it is, is the fact that all (or all that ive talked to) of my coworkers/bosses are transphobic
#i speak#i guess i should say that none of them have actively hate crimed me#but it is literally so obvious that even the best of them (my very well meaning ally coworker who is very progressive and deep in queer cul#ure)#are transphobic enough to the point that they deadname me on purpose (i have never and will never go by my deadname there)#like they think its sooo funny to call me it to try and pronounce it (they can't. its hard for people to say for some reason)#they think its funny to tell the new hires that its my 'real name'#I think some of the have even told some parents before#its just like.#I always push it so far away in my mind and then I'm like 'why do I not want to hang around these ppl? I like hanging out with them we have#fun??'#and its legit because I cant go a full month without someone bringing up my deadname and trying to get me to tell them how to say it (so th#t they can say it and call me it)#anyways all that to say that I'm going to petition the court to let me change it on aug12th! I hope it goes well#queer things#I guess#transphobia mention#sorry
