Question: What were you doing before Encanto?

I think before I was watching anime and reading manga. And sometimes watching Disney movies.

I gave up on fanfictions for years because I didn't want to and was starting to think I'm too old for it. Maybe a bit too influenced by people saying how it's bad writings. I started preparing a novel though. I still am on it but I have my fics now to write too.

I need to relax due to health problems and I don't know why today I decided to visit my old Wattpad profile (where I posted Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan fanfics). And... oh my gosh, what a laugh, haha! 🤣🤣😅

It's certainly great to see how much I've improved in this time.

Me catching up to the animes I missed some episodes

Well, because I was pretty busy! Just need to catch up to my mangas too later, I pilled up a lot of them!

By the way, this one, called Tomodachi Game, is great! Wasn't sure at first but it was really interesting and suspenseful, I can't wait seeing that last episode!

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

i feel like we dont talk enough about how distressing and disturbing memory loss issues are. forgetting what you were talking about halfway through a sentence, putting something down and instantly forgetting where you put it. having to reread one paragraph over and over again because by the time youve moved onto the next sentence you dont remember what the one before it said. always doubting if your memories of things are real, not being able to remember important life events.

its so incredibly scary, it feels like your mind is constantly playing tricks on you and you start to doubt whats real and what isnt.

“i forgot” is treated like a lazy excuse when it’s genuinely such a big issue for so many people.

Lol I came back to the first time I talked on a Disney Discord server about Encanto after seeing it I'm in and I was like:

"Oh it's so very nice, with good songs and a cliche but well-done story"

But then in November I was the first one talking about Bruno to say I was constantly listening to the songs and thinking about Bruno and oh! how cute he is and honestly best uncle. Then, while talking with them, I went looking for a Bruno fan account on Twitter and was in awe when I found one.

Then at the beginning of December I asked if I can put Bruno as my profile picture without spoiling.

Then mid-december I said Bruno is my favorite character and they all joked "no way! We didn't notice".

On the same day I had already downloaded many pictures and fanarts of Bruno I thought were "aaawww so cute".

Then when someone said "what a man" I replied "oh yes 💚" before the someone joked "looks like a crush". But then I was all like "I don't know, I don't think so".

... How come it took me so much time to realize I had a big crush on Bruno?

Yes Yes. I know I didn't comment on yesterday's episode, but, in my defense, I was finishing (and by finishing I mean correcting, polishing, pampering, etc.) one of the stories I was preparing for Halloween.

But that's it. One less.

So I'm about to say that despite the hype (before the chapter came out) that if Wakui resolved the entire situation in one chapter, it would look weird (a statement I more or less agreed with)... The truth is that the gentleman has left quite gracefully.

Make no mistake, there are some things up in the air, but I think the resolution is not poorly executed and I think the vast majority of us have been satisfied. However, I do say that the author has resolved the conflict in exchange for continuing to have Shinichiro as "a boring character" that no one can bring down from his pedestal (not even when he has killed a man who had done nothing to him!).

It is true that he has been given more depth, but I don't think he has changed many hearts regarding his person... In my case, at least not. And it's funny, because in the previous chapter I did feel sorry for him and a certain panel hit me in the heart. But hey, we'll see what happens, right? It's just Wakasa's word (or Shinichiro's word, however you want to see it). So it doesn't have much value, haha.

NO TRIALS, THERE IS NO PARADISE.
