#a little downgrade

[letsbehonestjootnes]

I’ll never gonna stop saying how CHILD it’s the ultimate NCT LAB release! And by far MARK’s best solo work, and I have proof:

It’s kinda crazy how CHILD achieved 10 Million views in less than a month and GOLDEN HOUR… well it’s making its fight

It took CHILD only hours to get 30K likes on Melon and Golden Hour a month 🙃🙃

Child surpassed 8 Million streams in less than a month, GH only got 4 Million in almost the same time! 🫢

Also on Spotify CHILD obtained 8 Million streams the first month while GH only 4 Million

I know there’s really no comparison between these two songs since they’re opposite styles and genres, and the main targets where really distinct, but still, is kinda crazy how differently were this two songs received by the public! 🤔 not to mention GH has been highly praised by teenage girls, meanwhile older NCT fans really let it pass as another MEH.. NCT release.

I still love Mark, and I hope he give us more variety on music in the near future, with fresh concepts!! Not only focusing on this fck boy image, and please, NO MORE TikTok songs!!! 🙄

It wouldn't be a FNAF cosplay day at Comic Con if I didn't get my traditional pizza :)

Also a thought I had: I love that Käärijä is just some guy, Jere from Vantaa. It shows that it's so ridiculous to put people on pedestals and make them idols, they're just normal people as boring, funny, witty, lazy, hardworking, silly human as everyone else is. Or from another perspective: Every rando around us has it in them to be an idol, and would deserve to be put up on a pedestal, is worthy enough. It's about seeing the merit and worth in everything and everyone instead of holding up hierarchies

Refunctioned my mobile phone bag I made some time ago into a pen purse, because I didn't use it anyway. I cut the string, which was much longer as it was originally made to wrap around the bag and close it by doing so, but that didn't really hold...was too impractical for quick acces, too. Now it's got a snap button, looks much neater! And of course, there's a loop to fasten charms! The beautiful Bkdk charm is from the last Bkdk Pride zine and made by @tsaritori .

yk what pisses me the fuck off? people being so obsessed w regulus that they downplay sirius' trauma just to make reg a sadder character that they can relate to. do whatever u want with reg - this is a free fandom, jkr doesn't run it and ur allowed to think whatever, but its actually baffling how ur willing to legit take away sirius' trauma for reg. i've seen people say that 'reg is the second choice child' like... ur kidding me, right? just because... he's younger?? doesn't make him second choice??? i will confidently say that sirius is 100% the less favoured child and i will fight anyone on it - i mean, how is this even a fucking debate?!? what is wrong with people?! sure, reg's story is sad and interesting but i desperately need you to stop depriving him of every little good thing in his life just to improve his story.

i will 100% confidently say that sirius is objectively one of the most, if not the most, traumatised character in the marauders fandom. yes, i know we shouldn't compare people's trauma, and with any other character i wouldn't. but this is sirius. he was physically and mentally abused by his parents, he felt that he had to protect a young child when he was only a year older and developed a martyr complex, had his family try and manipulate him into joining their cult at 16, ran away from home and was disowned at 16, grew up in wartime, he became a child solider at 18, his *adoptive* parents died at 19, his brother died at 19, his relationship w remus was falling apart, he got framed for the murder of his bsfs at 21 and then spent 12 years of his life getting his soul sucked out of him, at 33 he gets let out and his godson thinks he's a murderer and he has to un-learn his dog-like behaviours, at 34 the war begins again, at 35 he dies, and then in the afterlife watches remus have a wife and child. please fight me on this because i could go all day for him.

how am i meant to sleep when there are not only tit spoilers to avoid consuming like a starving victorian orphan

but season 2 of misfits and magic to hyperfixate on since that trailer also dropped today?!?

my body is so eepy. my brain is so full. oh no 🙂 surely nothing can go wrong 🙂🙂🙂

[vaugarde]

watching a svtfoe ranking list and as someone who sorta just stopped watching consistently after the season 1 finale and just loosely kept up with plot important stuff afterwards, im kinda shocked at how the show premised on “weird little alien teen girl has to learn how to use magic and things get sillay!!!” shifted so quickly to “this girl needs to just stop using magic all the time lmao shes so immature”

like girl thats why i was watching. just let my girl cook!!!

Im not the biggest Mlp fan as much as I used to, and I do like G5 and thinks it’s cute,

but Ngl whenever I check out the new stuff I still think this is still a downgrade IMO

I hope you have a lovely day with lots of snacks

Tl;dr the day was not lovely but there might be snacks

I actually didn't have many snacks today but I'm about to make up with it with a couple of churros and dark chocolate dipped strawberries.

Today I...woke up and showered and replied to comments on AO3 for a while, and then I spent about 4 hours formatting documents into PDFs of varying sizes for Patreon and Ream and uploading chapter commentaries into compilations. And then I did more formatting stuff behind the scenes while I stared at all the other behind the scenes stuff I need to do and thought 'writing is a hard job' quietly and intensely.

I ate lunch while I was working. I also made some memes about how overwhelmed I felt, and then made some for my readers too, lol.

And then I laid down for about 4 hours because I also have chronic illness (whee) and I am constantly in pain and varying degrees of fatigue and I literally must lie down every afternoon so I don't collapse in the evening (literally) - and I did a tiny bit of reading (webtoon: Shutline (which I immediately realised I'd read before and didn't fondly remember), webtoon: December (didn't mind this)) and then dozed restlessly because it was 40C/104F today. I also edited a Tiktok art video in Adobe Premier Rush, but I haven't put it up yet, and I should really do that.

Got up and made ham and cucumber sandwiches for dinner, and watched Girl with the Dogs on YouTube while I ate, and a Smosh video.

Then did some more work and helped a friend with her work stuff, and then I watered the garden for 1.5 hours because *points tiredly to the heatwave* and stared balefully at the dark sky (you can't water during the day - it's literally a heatwave but also it's illegal here to water during the day) with its few stars because they'd set up a severe weather warning due to extreme winds in our specific area and it was dead AF and oppressive out there and it was just hot instead.

I watched a few Tiktoks while I watered.

When I hung the hose up back on the holder thingo, I sang to my plants: 'I hope you make the best out of the water I just gave you, you little fucks' like a sweet lullaby, and a person who I didn't know was outside next door because it was like 9pm and pitch black laughed softly and sweetly, like they didn't expect it, and felt kind of fond. I didn't know I had any nice neighbours on that side of the house, so I mostly just thought 'WHOOPS SHIT' and then felt too embarrassed to say anything.

And then I came back inside and replied to some asks (hi!) and am hopefully going to eat churro's soon and it's 10pm and so I'm probably going to do some more work and then I'm going to go to bed while I feel stressed about the work I haven't done (currently Palmarosa is the heart beating beneath my floorboards). I will probably keep reading December. It's okayish.

I don't know if I'd call today lovely, because I'm burnt out and I want to put up the Christmas decorations but it's 10pm and idk if I should start that because it tends to make me severely ill to do it for a few days.

I'm a little sad, a lot lonely, a little melancholic, a little grumpy, and a little very excited about churros and chocolate dipped strawberries. I resent days that are 'work and sleep' sometimes, especially during November. That's my fault. That's on me. I'm a mean and shitty boss to myself.

Gotta do something about this burnout at some point, because December is the worst month for my PTSD, but I also need to keep getting paid, because medical bills and food and stuff. So like...finding the balance there is a constant work in progress.

There were some lovely moments today:

That little laugh from the neighbour in the dark

The first yellow peach of the season

Doing tricks with my cat (who is trained) for treats

Making silly little memes

Helping a friend with work stuff

Replying to some amazing comments

Watching cute dogs

Feeling pretty accomplished at putting up those compilations on Patreon/Ream even if I'm not done yet.

I hope you're having a lovely day too, anon, with many snacks.
