visiting someone’s blog, forgetting you’re there, and just going ham with the reblogs is so very visiting a friends house in elementary school and getting distracted enough by their book collection that you forget they exist and start stacking up items you would like to borrow if you don’t finish reading before you leave

Picked up a fun metaphor from a comrade - fandom as a huge camping ground and us setting our tents on it, forming little sections of interests within - there's the rowdy, huge tent town of ghoap fans (oh look there's a brawl in the middle. again.), there's the warmest crowd of Gaz lovers (why are they looking at König camp so- oh I see), here are quieter, smaller sections of folks with refined taste for NikPrice or GhostPrice. Faralex nation has their quiet, sweetest time a little aside, around the hill. Hear that squealing and whooping? That's x reader nation found one thirst post they're passing around, fanning themselves with newspapers (all the words in the crosswords there are kink names). People are sharing their snacks and beers at campfires, colourful art stuck on the tents' walls, fat stacks or fanfics lying neatly for everyone to sit down and have a read. Comrades with megaphons announce big happenings from time to time - hey, GhostPrice week coming up, check out the rules pinned on the main info stand and participate!

Someone's sitting in their little tent districts, others snoop around and peek into each other's tents even in different sections.

And then there's me. With my lonely ass tent almost on the border of camp grounds, cluttered as fuck, proud flag of the rarest ship ever hanging like a limp prick without any wind. I have all kinds of trash and bits scattered around, stealing from all around the camp grounds. No identity whatsoever.

But hey. I'm fucking buzzin' to be here. Everyone's welcome at my tent. It's falling apart and was assembled all wrong from the beginning, but I built it with love.

I have banana cake for everyone, too.

Okay, so I kinda like the Maneaters. Lol They're cute. Except when they eat loot.

Of course UwU is a fan of them as well!

My friends and I have encountered this little menace cutie a total of three times now. (We are not big fans of Vow, but we've gotten seeds that gave us multiple magnifying glasses.) Since I'm usually the first to find it, I've dubbed it Timmy. So everyone knows I've found it because I'll announce it with "....I found Timmy."

First attempts that didn't work out so well. Looks too realistic or frog-ish.

i hate being a person who has to keep EVERYTHING bc its either "memorabilia" or "ill need this later" like no pookie youll never use this again and you barely remember things anyway so what memory is it gonna be 😭😭😭

[shirogane-oushirou]

no promises anymoooooreeeee i'll appear online when i appear online 😭 every time i say "ooh i think life is almost done being overwhelming!" it. becomes even more overwhelming in the dumbest ways. all i can manage rn when i'm not stressing myself into a shut-down state is staring at the wall while listening to youtube essays + mindlessly crocheting.

i might queue up ppls art and fics w/o commentary in the tags... i want other ppl to see what all of my cool friends have made, but i genuinely can't think right now with this monstrous brain fog. i'm really sorry, just. yeah. maybe i'll think of some way to make it up later!!! once the dust has settled!!!! but until then i wuv u and miss u. smiles.

[venting in tags including familial manipulation and ableism. i. didn't mean to write all of that, thiss was originally going to be a main blog post but. aaaaaAAAAAA!!!!!

also no need for replies or anything, i'd turn them off for just the one post if i could kjsndkn, i just needed to get things out and go eep jsjndsfdn ok bye bye bye bye!!!!]

[rubiatinctorum]

the urge to declutter things i haven't used in three to seven years vs. the urge to hoard everything i've ever owned

[radioisntdead]

listening to ASMR again, WHY DO THEY KEEP KILLING OFF MY FAMILY??? WHAT DID THEY DO?? THEY COULD BE ALIVE? THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT YOU JUST KILLED THEM OFF FOR FUN???

Joining a fandom late/during a dry spell is a double-edged sword.

On the one hand, things are pretty chill and there isn’t much of a hurry to consume the newest show or comic.

On the other hand, the chance of establishing oneself as the expert on certain characters is slim to none.

My fabric samples for S8-9 Missy shirt, S10 Missy scarf and Magician's Apprentice Clara spotty dress arrived. Photos below cut.

(Mostly, I want to document my progress for my own records. I'll probably do a follow up on patterns once they all arrive, along with my next batch of samples which includes boiled wool for Missy's skirt & jacket and grey knit for Clara's jumper)

Look how pretty the scarf fabric is! Not actually planning to do S10 Missy right now, but when I saw it, I knew I needed it!

It's a really nice cotton silk blend too. So soft, so drapey (also so expensive)

The shirt fabric is nice.

It's available in a few fabrics, so need to choose, but I'm definitely getting some of this. I need to practice my stripe matching though.

I got a few different ones for Clara, but this is the best of the bunch.

I think it could do with being a shade or two darker, but it's a rare spotty fabric that doesn't have a regular grid of dots. If I don't see wanting better it is definitely pretty good.

i'm adding a bunch of drafts to rpthreadtracker and i do just wanna say sorry i take forever to reply

i'm perfectly happy rping any season/holiday whenever. if you think of a thread idea that's better suited for spring or labor day, but it's the middle of winter, i'm game for it. i know we all get inspired by the real world seasons and celebrations around us, but sometimes it's february and i want halloween again.

the flip side, of course, is that if i finally respond to something that we started as a summer cookout and it's now fall and you no longer feel inspired to reply to it--let me know! i'm happy to drop it and start something new.

What do you think each of the hacketteer's most cherished personal belonging is?

thank you for the ask, i love Making Up Things About My Blorbos hours. this really makes me think bc everyone bonds with such different things for random reasons. i've had a rock on my bookshelf for 7+ years bc a friend from a volunteer group found it for me & i like the way it looks. so it's always so different. still, i'll try

Jacob's for sure is some sort of lucky charm that he hangs from the rearview mirror of his truck, that he has one hundred percent belief in. i can't decide what it is - a horseshoe or rabbits foot or something else - but he thinks he's invincible with that thing

Kaitlyn will take it to her grave, but hers is her half of the tacky "best friends" necklace Jacob got for them when they were little, and no one will ever find out. she keeps it hidden but she still keeps her half, even tho she's sure Jacob didn't keep his (he did, it's buried in his sock drawer)

Nick, if you ask him, will say it's his pocketwatch - passed down through his father's side, it's a family heirloom, y'know? but he can't read analog clocks for shit & he has no idea what he's going to do with this watch. truthfully, it's a pair of limited edition Heelies signed by a local musician that he got when he was twelve. he's keeping those babies till the value skyrockets

Abi has her sketchbook, obviously, & probably many more that she's filled up over the years, but she has this cat mug with a chip in one ear that she's had for years & she loves with all her heart. comfort mug <3

Ryan loves his earbuds & probably has a lot of things he keeps for Reasons but i choose to believe his sister writes him letters every time he goes to camp & he keeps every single one of them tucked away in his room for when he needs them

Emma enjoys having all of her things. she loves stuff. she has lots of rings & earrings & bangles she thinks are cute, she has a box full of scrapbooking supplies, three different wax melters that she liked the designs of. but her favorite thing is a little music box she found at a flea market a long time ago, with a beat up little ballerina figure, that she keeps all her most sentimental items in. the love note with the strawberry-scented sticker she got in fourth grade. a gumball machine ring she got with her best friend in middle school. her first ever concert ticket

Dylan loves things. his necklace that he never lets us see, Schrodinger's baby teeth & old collar, weird or cool coins he finds while out. pretty much everything has emotional value to him. but he has a little wolf figurine that's scratched, beat up - he's owned it forever, barely remembers where he got it. but it sits right next his computer & he swears it keeps all his equipment running. he begs it for mercy whenever his computer starts to crash. he calls it His Royal Furriness, Lord Wolfington

Thinking to myself “man it’s a good thing there nine mechanisms to project my disabilities onto, wouldn’t want people to think I’m headcanoning them to have an unrealistic amount of issues.” When it’s like, I have all these issues! And some people have way more comorbidities than me!

BABY WATCH 2024!

First 24 hours with the new kitten. Thought it was a she, but did a closer inspection earlier and I’m leaning towards a he.

Anyway, the good stuff: he is the sweetest, most well behaved kitten I have ever seen. He’s an angel. He spent most of last night sleeping on my chest. I haven’t had such an actively affectionate cat in ages. The two I have now are sweet, but they don’t really cuddle. This little dude does. This little dude is awesome. He follows me around, doesn’t get into things he’s not supposed to, and instantly knew how to use a litter box. If he wasn’t so young, I’d think he was an abandoned indoor cat. But he’s baby. My baby. Still needs a name, though.

The not so good stuff: I DO NOT need another cat! I live in a small apartment with two other adult cats and a small dog. New cats are also expensive! He’s gonna need shots and to get fixed and, to be painfully honest, I really don’t know if I can afford that now. Shit, I’m basically out of (human) food until I can get some cash on friday. It’s rough. I’m really anxious. I love this little guy. I didn’t just pick a random kitten. I’d seen him outside a couple of times and I just… I hated the idea of this way too trusting little guy trying to survive out in the world. He just kept crying out at me and following me. There are other stray cats around, but this one is so small and so sweet and he followed me home and he loves me so much I literally started crying while holding him bc I didn’t want him to ever have to fight just to survive out there. I hate it. I mean, I love him, but it does make me feel kind of sick inside bc I know it’s not exactly a smart decision to take in a stray right now. Life sucks. He’s curled up next to me in bed now and if he wasn’t so tiny and sweet and wonderful, I might be okay not keeping him & letting him stay outside with his friends. I’m glad he’s not a human baby or I’d really be freaking out right now.

Anyway, I’d die for him now so it’s a done deal. My baby now.
