Today, I was reminded of the copies I used 6 years ago, in grade 10 bought to be by my grandfather. those sweet memories of 2019 ink on paper. I walked to my grandparents home to fetch those copies. memories came flooding back just like my tears
I asked my grandfather where he bought they years back. Cant find copies like that nowadays. he said he will look for them and bring them to me if he finds any.
suddenly nothing feels the same. Sudden realization that those moments were in the past just hits me hard. nothing will be the same. those copies will be different from the ones he bought me 6 years ago. Nothing will ever be the same.
Dwelling on past hurts, but sometimes that is the only place I find comfort in.
I sometimes wish i could go back to that naive 15 year old girl but I wouldn't want to live like her
I still want her I love her I would hug her She deserves the world
#dear diary#diary entry#past#grandpa#grandparents#stationery#29/06/2024#copy#diary#nothing will ever be the same haunts me#its terrifying to think how far i have come along#and how far away i am from the past#the ground that i am standing on right now feels so unfamiliar#everything is scary#adulthood is scary

#zelda#legend of zelda#ocarina of time#link#linktober#day 13: phantom#aquanutart#actually i meant to do this for day 2: temple but ...#i guess i could really stretch it and say it's day 15 favorite character (oot link)#i listened to the forest temple music while working on this until i couldn't take it anymore#i hear it in my head when i look at this#the haunted paintings are so cool. this temple is amazing#i love how it's not dark and claustrophobic all the time but also has these bright outdoor areas that are eerily overgrown and abandoned#and then it whiplashes you into stuff like the twisted hallways. it's so cool#i'm not really into spooky/scary stuff but eerie with a sense of implied history and mysteries from years ago? go for it#also the wallmasters teaching us all to deal with anxiety in adulthood#(that is: sense its lurking presence; dodge it when it falls; slash it apart but dont let it split into smaller ones that run away from you

Did capochin and Hector take in the bizzyboys when they were kids or adults?
The bizzyboys were not all hired at once (thank god imagine the paperwork)- and most actually joined when they were adults at different times in their lives- Grujaja is a specific outlier because of the situation he was in. Even THEN he still wasn't actually a member until adulthood; he was more Sponsored by the bizzyboys until then instead of actually an official member.
There is a scrapped part of the first time i shared this hc that talks about this besides the opening line saying they couldn't hire a kid.
Fun fact: I had to go through an older sketch file with over 80+ layers to get these doodles (to the potential horror of others who see how much i already post)
Ignoring what i said for a sillies however, This ask has beamed an image in my brain so enjoy what i'd assume be capo's actual personal hell /SILLY
#great god grove#ggg spoilers#<-for hector mention lol#ggg capochin#ggg grujaja#ggg inspekta#ggg ban#ggg bizzyboys#fun fact: drainfolk are kinda tiny until very close to adulthood so they can climb their parents as long as possible in my hcs#because how dangerous the drain is infrastructure wise to the point some parts need you to full on climb parts scary style#anyway i hope u enjoy my bonus sillies for u#god. some of the unposted stuff i had in that file killed me when i was looking for those images fjbhjhgfjhkgjkgdsjhk

So this has been what's preoccupying my thoughts lately. Here’s my iwatex oc!
Her whole story is that she's from the Heliopause and has been trained to be a soldier since she was young but after landing on Vertumna she decides she wants a career change, and becomes the colony's first delivery woman!
#is it obvious that i dont roller skate/blade irl#dont ask me why she wears a helmet during adulthood but not as a child#Sorry for the watermark btw#Just trying to protect my art in this scary time haha#i was a teenage exocolonist#iwatex#lavandulalurker#my art#art#digital art#character design#teenage exocolonist#iwatec#iwatex oc#oc#original character art#original character#exo oc amara

I love you smile lines and worry lines and grey and white hair and wrinkles and purple spiderweb veins and the process of aging and living in a body that is standing the test of times. I love you experiences that make you wiser and stories that make you laugh, and every little process that happens to get to the point where you have so many memories because you have the fortune to be here and be so radiant
#positivity#pro aging#also i hate you 'anti aging' scams that capitalize on fear of aging. death by 1000000 papercuts for ye#saw a hair video where they restored the salt-and-pepper colour in an older clients hair and it looked SO GOOD at the end#i love when people throw in the towel and embrace their aging however that looks#it isn't productive to shame people who are ashamed of aging and i just want to. celebrate aging#in a world that simultaneously venerates youth and adulthood and hates BOTH you need to find some sense of freedom#as a Young Adult(tm) please please PLEASE older folks seeing this/following me know that i look up to you#older folks i need you to know that your worth NEVER diminished when you added a new number on your birthday cake#and your body and mind and soul NEVER lost worth because it started to creak a little at the joints#and i might be wrong about this because i'm still young but it can be SO tempted to miss your youth when you feel like...#...you've somehow LOST part of yourself by growing older. and so much of aging is about change and some things don't stay the same...#...and that IS scary and i will never once fault somebody for that. but please don't fall into the trap that because you've aged that...#...you somehow have forever lost fundamental pieces of Who You Are and you could never come back from that...#...for your own sake and sanity you deserve to find comfort and solice and understanding in who you still are...#...because you are still - at the core - the same. you can never take this away from yourself#and i know this might ring hollow because i just don't get what it's like to be older#but i have looked at my elders and felt awe at their age and their experiences#and i know what that is like and it's awesome. i just wish more older people knew that so many of us look at you with awe...#...and - if you can believe it - some of us ENVY your age or experiences or even body#i'm watching an 'older' content creator (older by internet standards 🙄) and i envy him for how eventful his life was#i envy that he experienced a different world - one that i have only heard about from my dad because i was too young to remember it#and i admire this person for their wisdom and thoughts because they've come from his experiences living in a Different World#it's that type of stuff that makes me unafraid to keep on living#inspired by following somebody like. twice my age posting about their excitement abiut growing older and !!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH#didn't realize they were closer to my dad's age but that's so cool???????????

The difference between being a kid and being an adult is my imaginary friends are now called Original Characters and people will say stuff like “[X] is so well observed”

Lupin III Part 1 Episode 5: The Coming of Goemon Ishikawa XIII
#i really like this episode#lupin acknowledges that goemon's just a kid being abused#and that underneath his scary exterior is a kind person#and that he's been forced into adulthood because of the failure of the adults around him#if we're going by lupin zero lore they aren't too different#they've both had their childhoods robbed from them due to the greed of the adults around them#is lupin trying to save goemon from a similar fate?#does he know they're two sides of the same coin?#that in another life lupin would've become goemon if he let his abuse break him?#lupin iii#lupin the third#lupin the 3rd#goemon ishikawa xiii#goemon#arsene lupin iii

One time I depersonalized and was on autopilot more or less for like 2 years straight with very few breaks during college because I was so stressed out by it and I barely remember anything except summer breaks (got good grades though). Can I do that again. please
#not art#vena vents#it wasn't dissociation mind you I was just out of it and my body and brain just did its own thing in character as me#but I was still ''awake''#After the first or second time depersonalizing and derealizing in adulthood it stopped being scary#and was more welcome and relieving than anything#even if it made me feel like I had rayman hands/no arms but had hands of the bit I remember of smaller less intense episodes#and I accidentally smacked a water bottle so hard it flew across the room because my brain didn't register my hands were solid objects#and then I snapped back out of it bc it was so alarming apparently#important to note I don't drive so that's not a risk factor lmao

do u ever feel alive but not...
like ur body is alright n stuff but ur mind...isn't... I don't FEEL alive... its like I'm distant from me... I'm not here... I can feel my limbs I can feel the blood going through me I can feel everything that I've ever hurt.. I can breathe...I can see.. i can write these words down....but I'm just not. just not here my head is fuzzy,parts of me hurt..idk..
more in tags...
#moop talks#vent#Vent tw#I don't even know at this point#This isn't poetry or anything it's just what I feel rn.. I don't like that#I never really few alive anymore.. I keep going because death = bad and scary and my parents won't like me dead#It all boils down to being about surviving the day... nothing else... I feel good I feel bad.. but nothing changes#I don't want to live i don't want to die... I just sometimes wish I just wasn't there#Then nobody would love me and nobody would know me and nobody would need me and I wouldn't disappoint anyone#I'm just some meat puppet to a weird chemical reaction and I'm forced to know about that.. I'm forced to watch myself age and get sick..#I'll eventually rot and die.. not contributing anything in a way that matters... I'm repulsed by sex.. so likely no offspring#And IF I EVEN did have kids they'd inherent my families eyesight and diabetes risc and possibly anxiety and whatever my dad and grandma hav#Come to think of it.. I'm screwed when my parents eventually die and I'm forced to fend for myself... what do I even do other than“draw gud#AND I DONT EVEN DRAW GOOD ENOUGH TO GET ANYWHERE WORTHWHILE#I shouldn't even feel like this... I have parents.. I have a roof above my head.. I have the stuff needed to live ok.. Im not even 16 yet .#People out there are dieing and fuckin MOOPSIE over here is sulking about “feeling bad :( ”#I wish I could get therapy tbh... but I don’t think I'd be able to convince my parents without saying too much#I wish I could just be normal and feel ok and survive till adulthood than have sex and offspring than die feeling ok

Guys, the evil plans are proceeding exceedingly... however, everything is moving too fast, and I need to keep up with all the evil deeds that have to be done.
So, it is now time for the evil agenda :)
#steel rambles#i love planning things#give me a calendar with enough space to wtite stuff and I'm out#i could plan my life for the next 4 months#btw yeah help slow down time for a bit#more stuff has happened in 3 weeks than the last 3 months#aaaah#i mean i am pretty happy and satisfied wuth how things are going. i now even see how can they be even better#i am starting to feel some kind of motivation again?#idk#i don't wanna chant victory too early because whenever i say something is happening the very opposite happens so idk#idk I'm happy but also kinda overwhelmed#adulthood is not scary is just a bit too fast for now#please I'd like a bit of a routine back#i need just a tiny bit of boredom because when life is _too interesting_ is fkn intense

my cottagecore toxic yuri cousins who claimed to have good taste totally ruined me for a second there lmfao
#i was soooo put off by their taste + it's not like it was bad at all but it just wasn't for me#and like to only have them as role models was just too scary haha#i just hate isolation too much for all of that + there's an ignorance that comes with isolation + peace as well#idk. lots to think about. and like i just have different furniture tastes. layout tastes. i'm too aware of the structure of a room lol#i also just don't like being yelled at + i don't like being talked down to lol#i think it's hard when a lot of your family has gone. you have these great role models in youth and then they're gone and you can't#ask them for help and you might try to remember the layouts of their houses or the titles of their books but they're just gone#and you were too young to ask them about what really mattered when they died so it's like just too unfortunate.#but who knows. maybe it's better to have a space like that in your mind that's so untouched by adulthood. you can go back to a place#of pure idealism and twist it without realizing to become anything you want and then you can see in it just what it is that you want when#you've lost track of it in reality.#like i don't know a lot about the people i really looked up to but the impression i got was that they were insanely deep thinkers who#weren't afraid of living during tough times. who can say if that's true through and through but maybe there's a certain longing in grief#that's sort of liberating. like someone who you really admire becomes a place for you to look at the sort of person you'd like to be#i pick up books and think 'if she was alive today maybe she'd enjoy this too' and then i find myself pursuing something i wanted to pursue#but couldn't find the personhood within myself to do so

#but actually can you guys say a prayer about teaching for me?#I know it’s mostly because it’s the end of the year#but a lot of stuff is just forcing its way to the surface#and basically it’s just me struggling with my natural strengths as a teacher and the boundaries of appropriateness that are necessary#to maintain it#like first of all. the beast that is my anxiety compounds everything and makes it so scary and terrible#secondly I thought I had. Like. A total handle on all of it#Teaching and boundaries I mean#and of course I do not#and part of it is that the anxiety that always kept me within the right lines is just shifting and changing#and I’m just distanced from some of the stuff that used to keep me grounded#like my family right now!#the new adulthood is adulting!#anyway like. I am not doing anything inappropriate or close to it (sounds like I am when I deny it lol)#but I am aware in a new and newly exhausted way of the absolute dangers#of being the kind of teacher who uses all of my personality etc. to wake kids up#And make them respond#but then still have to want to need to keep certain boundaries up#And I’m trying to figure it out but of course I CAN’t Do it perfectly#and then it’s so hard when your personal life is so hard and you’ve just gone through so much change in such a fast period of time#And it just feels like everything is spinning#and your heart aches and you’re tired and you just feel like you’re right at the center of all this emotional chaos#and all these people who wanna pull you off course and get you to cross certain lines#and some of the lines are just weird and arbitrary boundaries you put up to protect yourself when you started teaching at 23#Because you HAD to#So you can take some of them down and it’s fine but then there are some boundaries you know you need to keep up#And it’s more subtle than the black and white stuff re: appropriateness#Just the stuff that protects you and makes it easier to be the kind of teacher and influence that you want to be#and just trying to figure it all out while you’re exhausted and it’s the end of the school year#it’s just a LOT. A lot a lot
