#also i'm sorry that i'm not doing these as consistently as i used to

[sirladysketch]

I'm so sorry to hear you've been doing so poorly and hope the doctors can help you get things sorted asap. I've been doing a lot of pureed soups recently for digestive issues, hopefully some of these will be a step above just roasted veggies and overcooked pasta. (Links and suggestions below the cut)

Cream of Mushroom soup (Longwood Gardens recipe) - TBH just use veggie broth and the mushroom 'better than boullion' paste if you want more flavor. Add the spices into the broth itself and blend them up with the rest of the mushrooms and stuff. I've made this with extra creamy oatmilk for lactose reasons and it's absolutely delicious.

Creamy Vegetable Soup - The flavor in this one is nice and light and fresh (and can also be made milk-free). If residue is a concern, I would strain this before eating, but the broth itself is delicious.

Congee - I tend to wing it in terms of seasonings and toppings but congee/jook on its own is good for temperamental tummies.

Chicken Wontons - These may be a little too high residue, but you might be able to blend down the veggies and meat (or fake meat crumbles) to an easier-to-digest consistency. I eat these a lot when my stomach is acting up.

Good Old-Fashioned Pancakes - These are some of the lightest, airiest pancakes I've ever made, and probably soft enough that you won't have any trouble digesting them.

JP's Big Daddy Biscuits - Another bread-y recipe, but soft and delicious and filling. They can be a bit rich though, so if you have trouble with grease/buttery things I would make smaller sized dough balls.

Pumpkin Pie Mousse - I doubled the spices in this because I like my pieces to bite back, but this had a nice flavor and went down smoothly.

Sea Salt Ice Cream - Because there's something to be said about eating ice cream when your life is crumbling around you.

hey guys check it out I can do a frontside 180 with my stomach haha

sypnosis: when you receive no gifts during valentines day, your friends, satoru gojo, and suguru geto decide they need to cheer you up.

pairing: satosugu x gn!reader

content: fluff, no angst, but reader sulks a lot, gojo's kinda a bully... , takes place in 2006

this is really short and honestly feels kind of rushed. 💔💔

i also posted the draft by accident so i had to make it private for like 30 minutes while i finished it whooppsiieee

likes and reblogs are appreciated!!!

valentines day was a day that was heavily anticipated by loving couples all around the world, but for people who didn't have a special someone, it was a day to dread.

you were.. especially.. painfully single.

it was a known fact that your friend group was full of attractive people, you could also say that you were definitely attractive.. so you didn't understand why no one was ballsy enough to give you a gift.

shoko got around 15 chocolates from different admirers, not really a shocker, she was incredibly fine. haibara got around 3.. even NANAMI got one..

you dreaded to see how many gojo and geto had received, considering that both of them were popular with ladies, especially geto.

you, shoko, haibara, and nanami waited for the duo to show up at the usual meeting spot.

you four heard the familiar voices and turned to the direction they were coming from... gojo and geto both held WAGONS full of chocolates that they received throughout the day. it must have been heavy because they were both REALLY late to the assigned time to hang out.

"hey guys!!" gojo excitedly waved over as geto gave you a pitiful smile at seeing your empty hands.

"sorry we're late." geto apologised as gojo grins "yeah! these take waaayy too long to haul around everywhere!" gojo chimed in, talking about the mountain of gifts he received.

haibara had a bright smile on his face "woaaahh!! you guys got so much!!" haibara exclaimed as nanami sweatdropped.

"weeell.. you know, it's kinda expected, since we're so-" gojo flaunted around his chocolates before he stopped to raise a brow at you as he sees you averting your gaze to anywhere but their full wagons. "where's your chocolate, [name]?" he raised a brow, the corners of his lips rise up, curling into a nasty smirk.

geto hit him on the side of the arm and shoko shot him a warning glare. "i don't wanna talk about it." you huffed as he giggled under his breath.

"your really pouting cause you didn't get anything?"

".. 'm not pouting."

"d'awwwwhh, you're totally pouting! seriously! how'd you get fewer chocolates than NANAMI? " nanami glared at gojo's words as gojo laughed.. he was the only one laughing.

geto cleared his throat "thats enough, satoru." he spoke, his usually calm deep voice could be heard as he diffused gojo's teasing, before he smiled down at you.

𝜗𝜚

a whole day, and the only chocolates you received were ONE from a teacher, and that was just because she was handing them out to everyone during class.

you sat with both gojo and geto in the cafeteria after the school day was over. shoko, nanami, and haibara already went back to the student dorms, but you three stayed back cause you wanted to keep hanging out.

gojo and geto watched as you consistently checked your appearance with your compact mirror. gojo was amused, geto felt bad for you.

"do you think it's the way i styled my hair today..? but this is how it always is, i didn't do anything special... do people not like my hair?" you had a comical aura of dread around you as you buried your face in your arms, effectively using them as pillows.

"that might not be it.." geto placed a large hand on your shoulder. "i'm sure people are just too blind to see how pretty you are"

"unngghhh.." you groaned in frustration as gojo bust out laughing.

"seriously, why do you care so much about valentines day, it's just a stupid holiday where people give each other cheesy gifts to show their love." satoru spoke with a shit eating smirk on his face.

"no one loves me.. i'll be alone forever..."

geto sighed while gojo laughed again "c'mon [name] it's not the end of the world, stop being so melodramatic!" gojo wrapped a lanky arm around your shoulder while geto patted your other one since you sat sandwiched between them.

"that's easy for you to say.. you have like 10 million girls giving you gifts.." you mumbled as geto smiles a bit

"10 million is a bit excessive.." geto starts "if it makes you feel any better, none of those girls really gave us those gifts because they really like us. i'm not interested in any of them and neither is satoru, all those girls are shallow and only care about appearance."

gojo nods along "thats totally true, but i honestly appreciate the chocolates, i never read the letters i get." he shrugs

"atleast people think you guys are attractive..."

gojo snickers when he sees your pout and geto only sighed in response.

"c'mon" geto stands up, gojo following right after "we'll drop you off to your dorm."

𝜗𝜚

the walk back to your dorm was uneventful, it was just the two boys talking while you listened.

when you unlocked the door to your dorm, you weren't shocked to find it empty, your room mate was probably out with their partner.

you stepped in and so did gojo and geto. "geee i always love being in your dorm [name], it always smells so frickin good" gojo belly flopped on the couch, leaving his wagon in the middle of the living area while geto hummed in agreement, sitting politely down on the smaller couch.

"oh? yeah, i just use a bunch of yankee candles" you shrugged as geto perked up "i have a bunch of yankee candles" he spoke up as gojo raised a brow "yankee? weird name.."

you three hung out in the living area for a while longer before gojo and geto glanced at eachother, and geto simply nodded.

"hey, [name]." gojo stood up, rolling his wagon over to you, and geto did the same. "we have a little gift for you."

you stared up at both of them in confusion "...?" they both had to stop themselves from cooing at the cute face you made.

"you complained all day about not getting anything, so... look at aaaall these girls, giving you gifts!" satoru proudly grinned, urging to both of the wagons.

"... those are YOUR gifts." you deadpanned.

"not anymore." geto picked up one of the heart-shaped boxes and tapped at the label.

"dear geto [last name], happy valentines!"

was what it said on the label.

"wh-wha... that was there the whole time??!!" you exclaimed in shock as they both chuckled at your reaction.

"i'm surprised you didn't notice it sooner.." geto crossed his arms. "... with how intently you kept staring at our gifts, me and satoru were sure our plan would be foiled"

you urgently looked through the wagons.. all the labels, all the love letters, they had all been replaced with YOUR name! even the love letters that had specific details about gojo or geto's appearance had been changed to match your appearance instead. just.. how much effort had they put into all of this...?

"you guys.. really did all of this just for me?"

"no, we did it for mei mei. of COURSE we did it for you." gojo rolled his eyes, recieving a slap to the back of the head by his best friend.

"do you like the gift?" suguru softly smiled at you, and you nodded intently, a small smile of your own, accompanied by a light pink blush on your face

"yeah.. thanks."

gojo did a victory dance, proud of him and geto for making you happy, geto side eyed him before he chose to just ignore it and focus on you instead.

you had a long night that night.. (they slept with you sandwiched between them on your bed, and you could barely breathe... pervert.)

BONUS:

13th february, 2006

suguru sighs as his hands were stuffed in his pockets, meanwhile satoru looked proud. the two walked around campus.

"is that all the guys?" suguru mumbled and satoru nodded.

"mhm! we talked to all the people that have crushes on [name], they won't approach them tomorrow, i made sure of it."

"don't you think what were doing is a bit insane?"

"insane.. controlling.. manipulative, c'mon, it's all worth it if it's for [name].. besides your the one that agreed to this. you don't get to back out now."

"... whatever."

[ For context, they basically threatened all the people that have crushes on you so they can be sure that their valentines gift is extra romantic...]

author note: i know it's not valentines day anymore. I DONT GIVE A SHEETTT

[kaliforniahigh]

What about before the divorce when he hasn’t told her the label is making them tour so she thinks he’s just being a dick and putting the band before his family? I reckon that would be pretty angsty.

Yep! Pretty angsty indeed! I have some scenarios in my head of things that happened over the years that made exwife feel like she couldn't do it anymore. This is only the first one!

But the fact that he was gone for months at a time was really what sealed her decision to ask for a divorce. Once again, I'm pretty bad with timelines, but I picture Ezra being around two in this one. I also don't really know how touring works lol

Warnings: angst but not too much. Exwife just feels sad, actually. James (the record label owner) is an idiot.

WC: 1.3k

Exhusband!Noah and Exwife!Reader masterlist.

Noah had been home for about three weeks when he told you they were scheduled to go on another tour in about another three weeks.

"But you just got back", you told him, a frown on your face. "Why do they have to schedule yours so close together?", you questioned him.

"This one wasn't really planned, baby", he told you, turning on his side on the couch to look at you. It was the afternoon, and you had just put baby Ezra down for his afternoon nap. "The lead singer of the band who was supposed to open the shows had to have some kind of emergency surgery. So they picked us to replace them", he explained.

"Ok, but couldn't you just say no?", you asked, knowing it was a more than an unreasonable view on the situation, but you couldn't help but ask anyway.

"That's not really how it works", he told you, carding his fingers through you hair, as you rested your head on the back of the couch. He knew you were frustrated, and you had the right to be. He had just come back, and he had just fallen back into a routine with you and Ezra. And now, in three weeks, that would have to change. Again.

"It's just so hard when you leave", you whisper to him, eyes downcast. You were dreading being all alone again. Even if it's been already two years since you've had Ezra, you were still adjusting to motherhood. You felt like you learned and failed everyday, and even though you knew there would be highs and lows, the lows always hit harder, and at the end of the day, you missed going to bed and having someone to talk to.

Besides, you wanted to start looking at schools for Ezra. You knew he was pretty young still, but you needed the time during the day to try and go back to a consistent work schedule, and with him at daycare, it would be much easier for you. But you wanted Noah to be here to visit the schools and make that decision with you.

"I know it's hard, Angel. I really wish I didn't have to leave. But, we really need these opportunities. Besides, I also have to think about the boys, and they really need this too", he said, and you knew he was right.

Noah kept saying that when the band gained traction enough, they'd be able to make more independent decisions. That they'd stop for longer periods of time to record the albums. You really wish you could believe him, but, right now, you were having a hard time finding a silver lining.

"I really don't want to seem like a complainer, you know? It's just that taking care of a baby by yourself for months is so draining. I have to make so many decisions by myself, I have to figure out so much by myself, and this is also my first time doing this", you sighed out loud. You knew Noah would be here if he could. You just didn't really think he understood how hard it was when he was away and you were left here alone. "I just wish you were here to do those things with me"

"I know, baby. I'm really sorry I'm not", Noah hugged you close to his chest. He didn't know what else to say but apologize.

He hated having to go away once again. He hated having to see your face on FaceTime, noticing your tired eyes at the end of the day. Sometimes you'd even call him during the day, when he wasn't on stage yet, and he could hear Ezra's wails in the backgroung, as you told him you didn't know what to do anymore to stop him from crying.

Sometimes, he'd try to sing through the phone, and that would help the baby calm down a bit. Other times, it seems like nothing you both tried would work, and it was then that he'd hate himself even more, because he could hang up the phone and go back to doing whatever it is he was doing before you called, but you'd still be in the wirlwind of chaos at home.

As he held you close to him, his mind drifted to the conversation he had on the phone earlier in the day with James, the owner of the record label.

"James, we just got back from tour not even a month ago", Noah sighed into the phone, piching the bridge of his nose. He was glad you had just gone to the grocery store, this way, you wouldn't have to hear this conversation.

"I know. And we need you guys out there again", James said, as if that was the simplest decision ever. Noah gussed that for him, it was.

"I already told you I have a family to take care of, and that we wouldn't go on anymore tours for a while", he reiterated what he had told James before they even went on the last tour.

"Yeah, but things change", the older man said, and Noah could picture him shrugging his shoulders. "Listen, you either want this or not. I've been giving you these opportunities because I know you guys have potential. If you wanna back off, just tell me, and we will give preference to another band"

There it is. It was always like this. The gaslighting. The threats that they couldn't be successful enough without the help of the label. Deep down, Noah knew that a band's success was actually defined by how much their label liked them. And if the label disliked the band, you were fucked.

Your albums would have no promotion or marketing. Your concerts would have no promotions or marketing. You'd basically go to the back burner.

And that was the last thing Bad Omens needed.

Sighing out loud once again, Noah came to a decision. Even though, he's pretty sure the man on the other end of the line already knew what he'd say.

"When do we leave?", he asked, voice resigned and without an ounce of excitement. He used to be happy about doing these things, but that is quickly changing.

"You leave in three weeks, and the tour is two months long", James explained and Noah only shook his head in disbelief. He's already dreading having to tell you this.

"Ok, then", he settles on a curt and emotionless answer, wanting to get this conversation over with as fast as he could.

"Noah, can I give you an advice?", James asked, and Noah only hummed in response. He didn't really need James' advice for anything, but he wanted to see what bullshit the man could come up with this time. "Don't throw away your career because of a woman. I can tell you, it's not worth it"

Noah stopped his pacing, eyes going into slits, even though the man on the other end of the line couldn't see it. He clenched his fists so tight, and summoned all of his energy so he wouldn't tell James to fuck off.

"A woman?", he said, as camly as he could, but the venom in his voice was unmistakable. "That is my wife and my son you're talking about"

"Whatever. I'm just saying that this life is a one in a lifetime opportunity. Don't waste it", and with that, he hung up the phone, and Noah was left to digest just what in the fuck that was all about.

Noah debated telling you about these conversations all the time, but, deep down, he knew he couldn't. He knew you'd go knocking on James' door, demanding explanations and saying that the band wasn't his little puppet to play to his desire. And, as much as he would love to see that, he also knew that would be the end for him and his bandmates.

Truth is, these managers and record label owners hated when significant others interfered on things. Especially the female ones, who were labeled as histerical and dramatic more often than not. Noah knew how sexist and unfair this sounded, and that's why he wanted to keep you away from that.

He knew he was asking a lot from you, but, for now, the only he could hope for is that you'd hold on to him just until this madness passed.

transandrophobia SA mention in the context of the current discussion, but not explicitly described

i do NOT want to share it off anon on here because i was harassed off my first account for talking about it as a teen but it's so wild that i'm seeing someone spreading the same rhetoric that was used to justify both of my corrective assaults: one by an older boy (to make me not a boy or masc at all, and because i wasn't interested in sex or dating) and another by my ex-best friend who was trying to "convince" me i was just a masc lesbian "just broken" by the first assault and she would "love me better". at 13 and 15/16 respectively (happened at a birthday party so it's technically both ages?) and they both still think i'm "lying to myself"

(sarcasm) i'm so sure that i'd be "safer" for me if i was grilled and doubted about that more. not like i was already gaslit about all of it by the people involved. not like it already took me 5 years after hitting 18 to transition. not like trans boys and trans men don't already hear "are you sure you're not just sexually traumatized and dissociating out of your true female womanly identity?" (sarcasm)

sucks that you did something you regret but idk why that's got to come back on me with the same logic my literal assaulters used, which doctor's in my country still use. fuck off honestly unless you're consistent with wanting gay kids to have more therapeutic gatekeeping because they might "regret" having sex or "get hurt" because STDs are a thing. those who advocate for one here to the government also advocate for the other so that's who you want to be sharing ideals with? "you can't do this because it wasn't right for me but i didn't think long and hard enough about it" boo hoo honestly. i regret my botched wisdom teeth surgeries more. sorry but it's infuriating. really do these people say the same things at the same rates for anyone seeking feminizing procedures or implants/SRS for detrans purposes? for feminizing procedures in general?

[mxtxfanatic]

Oh no, I thought your original post was fine, it just sparked the wire in me that's feral about wangxian and made me come to Realizations™️. I'm sorry you have to deal with irl wangxian haters in the fandom of the wangxian book, though, I feel your pain.

Also, I prescribe to the idea that if something isn't clear from the source material, then it's bad writing, so one shouldn't need outside sources to defend their points. Luckily for us, mxtx is consistent in her writing and her interviews, so it's not really a problem. Unluckily for us, because I don't care about using the interviews as supplementary materials, that means I only have a few of them on hand 😭 Here's one interview I have as well as a post explaining a section I feel was translated in a misleading way (no shade to that person, who I do not know). And then there's this interview that I'm not sure is fully translated anywhere, but a lovely friend did a segment. Other than that, I wish you luck with finding the others and never having to argue with haters about how much wangxian have always liked each other reciprocally again🫡

it is very interesting to me (and very endearing and painful at the same time) that actually, even during his darkest moments, during the war, when every one of their interaction ended in arguments, wei wuxian still was the one to approach lan wangji first

we see it during the baiheng mountain hunt, during lan wangji's visit in yunmeng — oh, how i love lan wangji's visit in yunmeng, — and we don't personally see it during the sunshot campaign, but in the next scene (after the yunmeng date) jiang cheng says that even then, wei wuxian was still the first one to approach lan wangji

that's why i don't think this period of their relationship is the worst one in the sense that their relationship was filled with misunderstandings and bitter feelings and nothing else. bc yes, while their relationship is definitely fraught, it's not broken beyond repair. and it's definitely not the kind of relationship where wei wuxian is hiding from lan wangji and doesn't want to talk to him at all while lan wangji is hunting him down to ask him to go back to gusu and nothing else

we can clearly see that wei wuxian still tries to reach out to lan wangji and does it first most of the times. of course, we can't take jiang cheng's words at their value, given that (and that is my personal interpretation) he was jealous of lan wangji for monopolizing wei wuxian's attention and was unconsciously disgusted by the nature of attention that wei wuxian bestows lan wangji with. but even if it was just an exaggeration, it still means that wei wuxian was the one seeking lan wangji out more often than not

and wei wuxian doesn't even notice this 😭 when jiang cheng says that surely, wei wuxian was the one who called out to lan wangji in yunmeng, wei wuxian has the audacity to ask how he knew it was, indeed, him 😭 baby boy, you are too obvious, im afraid...

back to the point!! wangxian's relationship in wwx's first life hides in the small details such as these and i love them so much it's unreal. their love shines through even in the darkest of times, huh

[fandomsmadness]

TBHX episode 7 rant

And 7 episodes in, I am finally going to start criticisms because...there's things to be criticized now (and I am also a wreck for a multitude of reasons). My brain resembles the three seats of the title rn: empty.

But we unpack.

Before we get into the heavier stuff, a brief but fervent moment of appreciation for both the OST and the animation in this ep because hot dang that fight soundtrack was off the charts and I liked this animation switch even better than when Wreck did it. Also, was that the X snap again?

Like I'm sorry but this transition? Gorgeous.

For ONCE (twice) this series, I once again must applaud the ditching of the shock value cliffhanger, but I'm still so very dissatisfied with the climax this episode and this arc. Is it just me or does the Uncle Rock angle not make much sense?

There are certain things that do. The voice over the phone ordering the fake kidnapping matches. Obviously he knew who to use as lackeys, and there's a good commentary here on how people are used as pawns as means to an end in bigger plots.

But when was that damn shop open? I was under the impression it's been a while because Yang Cheng has been performing in the theater at least 3 years, Uncle Rock seemed familiar (he even knew about YC's crushes) and you're seriously telling me a CEO had nothing else to do but sit around making tea for at least 3 years??? (I mean, valid, for me, but not this guy). And we only see him being even remotely suspicious this ep, when he's suddenly displaying advertising prowess (routing it through FOMO, we see you), finances beyond his means, and an obsessive interest for YC to win. All this ep.

AND WHY IS YANG CHENG NOT REACTING?? You just...accepted the fact that your local tea shop owner is a CEO who just set you up to be a MURDERER?? Where is the surprise, the questions, the sheer disbelief, the how-did-this-happen and why-did-you-do-this?

On that note, this society is fucked up. You just watched someone idolize a hero, become that hero, challenge that hero, and kill that hero, and your trust value stands? Excuse you???

Shang Chao did end up being CEO Shang's son. Great for Uncle Rock, I suppose, since he eliminated a rival CEO's son with aspirations to start his own agency. But since he told his lackey to "get rid of the fake," I wonder what he was trying to accomplish there initially.

Shang being martyred was lowkey unexpected but made sense. Yang Cheng losing all his morals and righteousness out of guilt also makes sense when you take in his hesitancy last ep. I was finding it weird that he couldn't cross that short distance but it makes sense now. But really bro? You were thinking about him asking your crush out while he had a gun levelled at his head? Neat.

His unarguably stupid decisions henceforth could also be attributed to that I suppose because I spent a large amount of the episode thinking why is OG E-Soul the enemy? What did he do? And this brings me to one of my other biggest gripes of the series so far.

We've finished two arcs, and we know next to nothing about two of the heroes. We know plenty about their newer counterparts/replacements, but OG E-Soul and OG Nice? Next to nothing. And I really really want to know something. They were both so tired, they were both so done. It was felt far more with OG E-Soul because well, we had more than 7 seconds where he was alive, but the point stands. 34 years of a hero, and we know nothing about him. And now he's dead(?; still pinning my delusional narrative hopes on X).

I really hope this will be rectified because maybe the series is about the younger crop of heroes, but at the very least I'd like to know what these OG heroes went through to make them so sick of this.

Some stupid corner of my brain is also now wondering if Zero (rumoured to be one of the most dangerous villains) is X. Heroes' nemeses are consistently shown to be the only people to really know the hero, and maybe Zero saw the injustice done to their nemesis of three decades and decided to change the system from the top by masquerading as a hero, becoming X, and changing things.

Speaking of ending arcs, I also expected Lucky Cyan to tie in a bit more than just oh-my-concert-is-happening-at-the-same-time-as-the-fight, which also seems like a crucial detail they could've mentioned before? Wouldn't it be siginificant for YC to mention that he plans to go with Xia Qing to the concert while missing the anniversary event? Idk.

But I did find the show-vs-tell of this particular panel intriguing.

The biggest highlight for me this episode was the fight between the E-Souls. The juxtaposition between youth and experience really shone here, OG E-Soul didn't even have to move most of the time, he didn't really even want to fight but trust value is everything and his hand was forced (why was it everything to him? What kept him going? Man seriously looked like he wanted to retire and yet...) and there was so much to unpack in the sequences. With the soundtrack and the animation, it was very reminiscent of Zuko and Azula's last Agni Kai for me.

Like come on, I can't be the only one who sees this. Man was using lightning ffs.

The implication that trust value can only exist in one concept and if multiple exists, they're split is also something to ponder. So YC's initial trust value wasn't new per se, it was just redirected from OG E-Soul to the new E-Soul. This also means YC as a person still likely has 0 trust value; right now he's living off the trust value of the person he just murdered (have I mentioned this is fucked up????)

No doubt Rock will hold this over Yang Cheng's head, huzzah.

OG E-Soul seemed to know he was being set up, and this just made me even more sad. He knew what was happening, he knew the discussions were being directed. But what can he do about it? Heroes really have no autonomy in this world.

Lastly, the next highlight: I mentioned in ep 4 that I hope to see more of Enlighter moving forward and I'm so happy to see he wasn't just a one-time villain shtick. I'm hoping his story carries on through the other hero arcs and we find out more about why he went the way he did.

Overall, Rock came out of pocket and I'm superbly dissatisfied how this was met with zero reaction from Yang Cheng. Dampened the entire arc for me.

Absolutely no idea what to expect in Lucky Cyan's arc now, but if you have another hero replacement I am going to lose it.

[egophiliac]

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

[greyedian]

MAN I'm seriously so sad about season 2. Bc I wish act 2 had the same emotional impact on me as it appears to have on so many others. But rn I'm just somewhere between unable to care and actively annoyed by some of those writing decisions. Seriously the more I think about it the less I like it.

[byanyan]

i've changed my mind again!! i am, in fact, going to delete a fuckload of my drafts bc i am!!! not vibing with having all this old stuff & having it stopping me from starting new stuff!!!! this is the year where i finally say fuck it!!! i'm gonna run this blog the way i wanna and i'm gonna do what's the most fun for me!!!! ...not that i didn't enjoy any of the threads i have in my drafts bc i did, i just. i have to do something to get myself energized again and clean slate (mostly) is all i got rn askjfhds

i'm not deleting everything — i've got some specific verse stuff, some plotted and/or specific character moment things, and some starters that i'm holding on to, but. yeah. everything else has to go, i'm so sorry

[the-way-astray]

you guys know that instead of complaining that there's too much hate for a character in the main tag, you can just. make positive content and posts about that character yourself and block the negative tags right. you know this is a thing you can do. right

Thinking of picking up doing videos again (not very frequently but somewhat consistent at least). Thinking about doing body stills too because I may as well. Question is do a new design or repurpose one.

Honestly, I have so many sona desgins that I want to repurpose one I barely to never use. This one came to mind.

I don't see a reason to really draw it anymore but I'm oddly fond of it. They can look a little silly sometimes. So I could use it as a more general thing instead. Plus a full body actually exists that I can use to reference whenever needed.

Also I want to show it off now tbh.

so. here we are again

my coworker consistently baffled by my ability to "either predict errors or create performance anxiety in the machines" because i will stop and look directly at a machine right before it malfunctions, and when she first pointed this out to me i was just like "huh. weird" and it's driving her crazy. i figured it out but i don't think i'll tell her yet because it's honestly really funny to watch her wrestle with this "impossible predictive ability" and i kinda wanna see if she can logic this out for herself. so far she's only really told me that she's ruled out anything visual, like spotting a tangle before it jams, because she saw me working at the table w/my back fully to a machine when i stopped and turned around and watched it thunk along a few seconds more before it jammed up. so i couldn't have seen anything...she's so close...you really just need to ask "what's the difference between me and the other ppl working the floor?"

Th difference is this: nearly everyone at my workplace wears something to listen to music while they work, or ear-plugs, because the machines are loud, but i don't, because I love the sound of the machines. and when u listen to something so often u can subconsciously tell when there is a subtle change, which often happens when the machine malfunctions. so i hear it a beat or so before the machine registers it, stops, and displays the error notice. which is when i step in an resolve it. the error message itself comes with a flashing light and a loud noise that everyone can see/hear, so ppl don't really need a keen ear. And apparently the sound of the machines constantly at work drives ppl a little crazy, but I passed that point a long time ago so it's just stand-in music for me now.

where do i even start. two people in love, but that are hurting. two people who meet each other and are in need of love and happiness, (“do you think you weren’t loved enough?” “somewhere between ‘not enough’ and ‘not at all’. i was always hungry for love. just once, i wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it… just once. but they never gave that to me. never, not once.”). they’re in need of love; the kind of love that reassures them that they are a person. they are a living, breathing human worthy of love. that nothing of their past defines them, there is always the chance to grow. the kind of love that reassures them they are not hated by the world, but that they are loved. and they find that in each other (“i want to hold this moment. i want to believe it. i want his love to have enough salt in it to float me. i don’t want to be swimming for my life.” -frankissstein) they are two people who have been drowning in silence for so long, but then they find each other. and they keep each other afloat. with promises to keep on living and promises that they will always be there for the other. that they will never leave. that they are there to stay. and sometimes one person is all that you need. iwa and y/n have the type of relationship where they cover the other’s ears when it gets too loud, the kind of relationship where they run into the others arms every moment they get. they know each other like the back of their hands, they know what sets the other off and they always know what the other needs. and when they finally retire to bed after a long night of living, and they let down their walls and they finally say it, “i’m so tired.” the other is there to hold them, saying “i know, love. but it’s going to be okay.” and it will be, because they have each other.

Kendrick doesn't just hate Drake as a person. He hates the very idea of Drake.

Hip-Hop is rooted in revolution. In defiance. These are the songs of an oppressed group of people, and decades upon decades people have hated it. Accused of being meaningless and invalid. Media outlets took steps to belittle hip-hop and make sure it isn't recognized as an art form and as a means to fight back.

2Pac spoke of wealth disparity and inequality. Tupac was literally a member of a communist organization when he was younger and never stopped speaking against capitalism.

Lauryn Hill spoke of the struggles a woman faces. Not just women, but black women. Salt-N-Peppa. Queen Latifah. MISSY FUCKING ELLIOT.

N.W.A made sure people knew about police brutality and violence against the Black community.

And now, in this day and age, we're also experiencing an explosion of Queer Hip-Hop. Lil Nas X is at the forefront of this. Lil Uzi Vert came out as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, even when they knew that a lot of their fans would never use it or even respect them for it. Auntie Diaries, a song about a young man who grew up in a transphobic environment and bought into those beliefs, but could never fully do it because his Uncle loved him so much and taught him a lot of life lessons, and that wisdom translated to him accepting his cousin as a woman as well.

Drake is none of that.

He's the perfect representation of what people think hip-hop is. Flexing. Posturing. Objectifying women. A fucker so insecure he bought 2Pac's ring just to feel like he's part of the black community. Rejected by Rihanna publicly. Tried to groom Millie Bobby Brown. Kissed and inappropriately touched an underage girl during his concert. His songs have inspired so many young boys to treat girls like shit. His belief that the amount of rings and chains and cars he has is the true meaning of success.

Additional Edit: This is my fault. If this post gains more views, then it would be remiss of me not to add to this. It was my fault to begin with, not stating this beforehand because while I did know, I got lost in celebrating Hip-Hop in a place that doesn't usually do so, and rightfully so.

2Pac did fight for wealth equality and better social living for the black community. He also has a long, long history of battery, domestic abuse, and sexual harassment against women. Specifically against women of color. He made a song to celebrate his own mother, but outright refused to give the same show of respect to other women in his life. His hypocritical nature was brushed off in later decades, just the way I did now.

N.W.A is the same. Sexual assault charges, violence—they spoke of Police reform, but refuses to give the same treatment back towards the women in their lives.

50 cent refuses to backtrack on any of his misogynistic lyrics.

Modern rappers of today, such as the dead XXXtentacion. 6ix9ine. Kodak Black.

I do love Hip-Hop. I love rap. And the music itself has always been anti-authoritarian at its core, because those are its roots. And I was happy that circles that did not normally know of it or enjoy it were getting into it, even for one thing like this rap feud.

Lil Nas X, Little Simz, Childish Gambino, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill—rappers who have at the very least consistently tried to put their money where their mouth is. Who have tried to act in accordance to what they rap and write and sing for.

@shehungthemoon @ohsugarsims finnthehumanmp3 were the ones who rightfully clarified in the comments. I know an apology won't correct my hypocrisy or my stupidity. I should have added all of this before making this post, but I wanted so badly to celebrate a genre of music but failed to do my due diligence in showing a better, holistic view of it. If anyone felt triggered, offended, troubled, frustrated or any other intense negative emotions surrounding this, please do block me. I'm sorry.

Disordinato Collection - Part 2

Hi, lovelies!

Finally, I've also entered 2025. I hope you're all having a nice year so far. The last 2 months have been a little difficult for me. I'm sorry I couldn't share anything. That's because I can't feel creative. And I wanted to make a set of doors and windows suitable for the messy theme. And that made me a little hard. Because how can doors and windows be messy? I hope I've been able to fit into this theme.

I wanted to add a hallway set to this set as well. But the set is already too crowded and I thought I should publish it this month. That's why I'm going to take out the hallway set as a separate set. But as a result, I am so happy to be able to publish it this month.

The set consists of 33 items. Doors, windows, some arches, and a mailbox. If you ask what is the relevance of the mailbox, why not? You can use the doors on the set opened at different angles. I've added the cluttered versions as swatches too. So, there are 106 different items that you can use.

Let's look at the items included in the set.

Front door (3 versions)

Archway (4 variants)

7 different angles

Each of them 5 variants

Every variant has 15 wood swatches

7 different angles

Each of them 5 variants

Same window with sneak-out interaction. (*High School Years EP Required)

2-tiles casement windows (4 variants)

3-tiles casement windows (4 variants)

Short window

Mailbox (Regular and always full variants)

You can decorate windows with clutters. To do this, type bb.moveobjects on to cheat console and place the window somewhere outside the wall. Decorate it then place it on the wall.

I hope you'll like it! ❤️❤️❤️
