Thinking about new years resolutions. I usually like making a list with the caveat that I'm not beholden to it. I feel like having exact goals and forcing myself to do them often doesn't work, it just sorta makes me feel worse when I can't do them. I'm self aware enough to feel satisfied about doing something I want without making it a hard goal. So anyways here's a more nebulous ramble of stuff I wanna do in this new year. Less I have to do this and more a direction of what I know will make me happy C:
I wanna cut out the dead time in my schedule. Not like the time I need to rest and do nothing or have pointless conversations with friends; I've learned those are kind of necessary to life. It's okay to not do anything when you feel bad, especially when the reason isn't tangible. No I want to cut to the chase when I'm lollygagging on deciding what to do with my free time, I wanna cut out stuff I just do to pass the time; when I'm not shutting down or not feeling it, I want to intentionally be doing the stuff that I know I'll love. I'm old enough that I know my tastes, I know what I'll like and I should just do it.
I wanna actually get through some of the games that have been on my list for a long time, the classic vns, the recommendations from my friends, etc.
I wanna get back to reading manga. It's a medium I've neglected a lot for the latter half of this last decade. And that's a shame because it's a medium that, when I like it, I'm fucking ravenous for. Shit is so easy to consume, I can do it right in bed and stay up for hours because I'm obsessed.
I wanna read at least a little bit more text. Reading books has often been a struggle for me because of attention issues (always losing my place and reading the same paragraph 14 times, not being able to shut out distracting noises so I have to idle until they stop, during the day I'm too antsy to read, and when it's too late or too early reading isn't stimulating enough for me to not drift off to sleep or get distracted). But there's books I want to read, books I know I'll love, books that have been on my shelf for 5+ years that i just haven't gotten to. Mainly I wanna start actually reading the monogatari LNs. I feel like it'll give me a greater appreciation of the series and open me up to parts of the fandom I feel like I've been cut off from forever. I consider it my favorite series so I wanna embrace every part of it.
I wanna watch anime for myself again. I always feel like I'm not watching any anime, even when i do. I've doing that tried-and-true trick of just watching anime with friends every week for like 7 years that I employed to keep myself from wasting away when i was in that post-college, retail job deep depression. But I've fallen out of watching stuff consistently on my own. I do it sometimes, but its usually when its a show i can obsess over a show w/ my online friends together (love you dis and mattie), but when we don't have that I often don't have the motivation. I wanna watch old stuff and new stuff and my friends' fav animes. I'll finish Aria one day and eventually start watching Lain.
I wanna post my feelings more. I feel like this site has enabled me to do that more than twitter (this itself is kind of an exercise in that), I just haven't gotten into the full swing because I've had poor time management and am still getting used to doing it. I want to express myself more to friends (both new and old). I feel like I'm so bad at managing communication with online friends; never reaching out to hang or initiating conversations. I can sometimes get intrusive thoughts born from jealousy or inferiority that make me feel insecure about some of the closest people I've ever known when the root of the issue is often just being bad at reaching out to them when they're usually free. Also, I just wanna play games w/ my friends more, even if I'm bad at it.
This is a new years resolution, but i wanna work out more. Specifically i wanna get back on that lower body routine I was on. In general I just want to boost my ass and thighs (my ass was never that skinny because i played hockey growing up, but there's potential i could be better exploring) and maybe trim my tummy a lil. I'm not actually all that dissatisfied with where I'm at now: soft at rest, but puffing out my chest will just barely give me that slightly buff look (for a guy) where the chest sticks out a lil bit further than the belly. My ideal is to sorta to be able to do both. I'm not too ambitious in going further than that, but I think I can reach that (or at least maintain where I'm at) if I can get on that basic lower body + cardio routine. Plus it'll get me more excited about cosplaying.
I wanna get more fem clothes and be more comfortable dressing fem around actual people. I want stuff that actually looks good together. I want to be confident enough to go outside in it and feel nice even if people are weird about it. I only went out once in a skirt and it was at 3 am walking down my street and back and i was basically just at critical-level-paranoid the whole time despite there being actually nobody else. It's something I've been interested in forever. I wanna be good at coordinating outfits in general; it's always looked fun, but depression, anxiety, and expectations about nerdy guys have always held me back.
I wanna get more fuckin sex toys. This is not in a down-on-myself-way, but, oddly enough, I'm a little ashamed that I'm a guy so late in my 20s that's explored so little of what I actually do to my body to get off. I should be a pro at rearranging my own guts by now. Like I'm confident in saying masturbating is kind of a hobby for me, I would do it even if I didn't have a sex drive that compels it because it's actually just fun for me. So I should treat it like a hobby where I actually learn about how to better please my body (as well as train it).
I wanna bake more. I can make bread now, I wanna be making that shit almost every week. I wanna bake more cookies. Cookies are one of the foods you can actually send through the mail so that means I cook actually send food out to friends and they could eat it. I could be actually making food for people and not be cagey about it! gotta learn what stuff they might actually like. But also for me. It's so satisfying just to be able to make the things you like, to be self-sufficient in that kinda way. I wanna learn how to cook more in general. There's a sense of control and power where you can just make your favorite things.
I wanna actually try writing fiction/fanfiction. Even if it's gunna be bad and cringe. I envy those who can do it even if it's written like a joke or done badly. I'd love to write stories, either about my own characters or just about my favorite ones from media. Specifically this year I've kinda learned about how good fanfiction can really be even when its sloppy or improvisational or the author doesn't feel good about it or all of the above. It's similar to cooking and baking where it feels like a magic power that you can actually learn how to do in this world.
#long post#anx-i-e-demons#zealthoughts#lel vent tag because some of this is definitely tmi#there's probably more I'm not thinking of but this is the jist of what i wanna work on this year#maybe try learning languages?#at this point I feel like I'm more likely to improve on that if I DON'T include that in my new years resolutions post#also looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong#please don't read this it's embarrassing

Later. It had always had seemed the best manner of describing an absence, because, within that word, there was an following hope concerning how the absence would be temporary. Goodbye was an term in which he came one timeline and one life ago in combo to loathing from his entire being, since none of them had been done within conditions he should have lived it. He lose an brother without his knoweldge, gain an revenge in which he had been imagining over an village, and at this moment --- part of his existence fallen apart, but cruetly was merely an foreshadowing exposed down his face in middle of his existence … he would have to get thought it another time, inside most crueler manner, as observer of the landscape. There was Claude. It hadn't been him who had say goodbye to him though --- he didn't remember have managed to overcome that pain one single time within his old body. It had been the demon who decided to cut ties --- though slow death, slow suffering, slow destruction of his soul before found another bright sunlight who dissolved in front of his eyes …
He had been silently understood, as much circumstances who pushed her to be away temporary concerned family business, there must be Thanatos presence along the way. It won't be a surprise for someone wearing the God of the Underground position as an delicate jacket on his shoulders, that he almost forgot that it was a ceremonial accessory and not his identity … An flowery persona able to eternally shine without outside water, welcoming his winter confined personality that could easily showing mockery over his personal gloom, generated sometimes easily that confusion impression within his mind --- understood too much of something he never had been supposed to understand within that manner to begin with … For once, life had been easy on him. Not too much complains, expected maybe at some point, he would eventually asking to becoming the director of Hogwarts someday, so much he was exasperated to experiencing again and again every corner of an magic school for allowing an nice therapy for someone who was interested by all experiences of what ifs … Ah, his therapy session with his patient had remained something in which he was personally so insulted, and temporary confused about why, connected to an unreachable moonlight, he seemed attracting that much sunlight personas ( one dealing with an big amount of darkness that could burn everything around if he wasn't careful enough … and one who illuminated the entire world, in which really, among these sessions, eventually, he wanted almost considering Victoria as his intimate Persephone … his patient matched also the metaphoric reference, but less than how he was really embracing the concept as a whole ) ! Hence, some affairs of business would have to be exposed without too much pressure over it.
His tutor left him experiencing all degree of his loneliness.
His tutor left him experiencing how amount of reflection.
One week when he was travelling around and had his work on the Ministy to compromise, it passed usually fast. He would get lost over how many days passed, and will returning confused by the linearity. Excepted a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong day within that magic school again playing riddles and having once more impression of condensed years in an couple of minutes, and simple intensive emotional conversations with an sun scared to burn too much people, rest of the days had been lived in an linear way … when distractions had been poor to keep him alert. Someday, he would ask personally to Hades if every sensation he was feeling during these long months when his life was away were actually accurate. He had been waiting letters. Had been waiting to search her within his path, since considering he was living inside an no-linear manner, surprises could be made along the way … No, consideration had been made to making him experiencing his own personal winter in an couple of days. He never rushed so fast to exposing his face within the human world for an long awaited hello. As amusing it remained, expected for Hogwarts, no, he didn't even taking these trains ever again --- he didn't have to, he was carry away like a luggage a moment of second, when he didn't have amusingly to preparing whatever thing for the long journey awaiting for him. Remnant of nostalgia perceived within his features, as thoughts about if, someday by miracle or by whatever happiness he managed to get it, if ever had a family someday (or something similiar since he had been adopted unofficially by his other figure of parentality ) … they would have such moments together. Having his son going somewhere far away of train. Maybe trying once more the experience inside the human world, which promised to be something. He had been watching everyone else indifferently, thinking that a detail could help him recognize her. He was pleasantly happy they had been aiming to the same goal --- By the sound of her voice, he understood she had been trying to find him in same manner, which he helped greatly by distancing himself of the other --- his position remained to be mostly an observer, and he learned maybe bit too much to staring at people in silence with some MIB --- as an laugh welcomed his features when he heard the sound of her bags ! He will help to wear later, he had absolutely nothing to do, and wanted to find his dear Persephone for the moment. ❝ I waited for you! ❞ Playfulness was appropriate, immediately smelling this foreign perfume on her, losing herself in affection in a bright smile. ❝ I missed you so much, I'm so happy to have you back~ How was it? I see you found a wonderful perfume, love it, it looks great on you … ❞ Clinging affections came naturally back at him, slowly hugging further and further his little princess. She maybe tasted Thanatos presence, but he would ensure with his presence it would go away ! ❝ I rushed as soon as I knew you were coming back. Later, oh, I wish that word could be always used. ❞ Well … for once, there will no illusions attached towards her, no fleeting twisted emotions : there will be just the sincere sentiment he was allowed to breathe again, and be reassured he wasn't going to be left again, that the hardship of loneliness had been passed … that he had been realizing his affections were a mountain of deep love.
@lightcreators Draco : Reunion & loving starter
SHE HAS NEVER LEFT FOR SO LONG . Her shop has been her safe haven for as long as she can recall. The memories placed between the plants and the decorations waiting for new homes are too familiar to part with. She loves it because it is hers. But family matters had taken her away to France for a few weeks. An aunt she had never really heard of before dying ⎯⎯⎯⎯ and no one should die alone. Not if she can help it. So she had packed up her suitcase with hand-painted daisies on it, and she had said until later ( never goodbye. not to him at least ) only to get onto the early train on a Monday morning.
Now she is back. Or at least as good as back. There is still half a city between her and her shop and the piece lily she has been thinking fondly of for the last week. In her bag are letters she meant to send. of course, she had. But there was just something so kind about giving them to him by hand. By now, the French perfume she had 'borrowed' without asking from a niece should have soaked into the paper and ink. Her fingers run through the stack of them, counting them all as her train slows down in preparation to pull into the station. One for each day she had left. One more for good measure.
Victoria would recognize him anywhere. Blond hair is like a beacon, calling her the moth to his flame through the crowd of people gathered. All of them are there to greet their loved ones - or say a bittersweet farewell to them. Her fingers tap against the glass before the train has fully stopped. As if he can hear it over the crowd. She has never been the fastest of her siblings, but when she hauls her luggage from the overhead storage, and she jumps out of the train onto the platform, she truly feels as if she possesses flight.
❝Draco !❞ She makes her way over to him eagerly, her suitcase colliding with the shins of other travellers. It does not bother her, for she can only see him. The bag flung around her shoulder is dropped onto the floor with a loud thud as she wraps her arms around him. Finally, she is home. ❝There you are, I've missed you so much!❞

"You can't consume problematic media!"
Maybe YOU can't. I, on the other hand, have critical thinking skills and a lot of spite.

Sam’s gone off to bed, citing the day's journey and his old bones as excuses. Jack says he’s gone off to bed, but he’s probably going to sneak in a few episodes of The Good Place. That just leaves Dean and Cas, beer bottles in hand at the map table. There's no mission to be carried out, no sense of urgency nagging at them, it’s just… them. Together.
Cas sets his beer back on the table and it seems like he's going to get up. Dean doesn't want this to end, this warm and comfortable moment, so he splutters out the first thing he can think of.
"Are you hungry? I could eat!" Dean cringes internally. He’d just finished dinner half an hour ago. It sounds desperate to his own ears, but Cas just smiles fondly and shakes his head.
"Dean, you know I don't eat."
"Well, you don't need to, but you obviously do," Dean says. Cas's half empty beer bottle is proof enough of that.
"I can eat, but that is for social benefit. To celebrate a job well done," Cas says, fingers idly trailing through the condensation on the bottle, "Besides, I don't enjoy food the way I did when I was human. It all tastes too much like molecules."
It sounds like Cas wishes he could do something about it, so Dean instantly latches onto it as a problem to be fixed.
"Are there molecules you like the taste of?" Cas blinks in surprise as if the idea had never occurred to him.
"I suppose it's possible," he murmurs, "But I've never tried to find them. I imagine they'd all be about the same."
"Like how?"
Cas blows out a blustery sigh. "Oh, you know, too complex. Too many elements, long polymers chains, complicated folding patterns. It's all too much to take in."
"Then we'll find some simpler ones. Easy as that." Dean gets up and grabs Cas's hand, a tingle flashing over his skin where they touch. Cas opens his mouth to say something, but decides against it. He goes easily when Dean drags him out of his seat.
-
That's how they end up sitting on the kitchen floor long into the wee hours of the morning, surrounded by bottles and cans and boxes of every edible substance they can find. For each one Cas carefully scoops out a sample and passes judgment. He hates the texture of mayonnaise, honey is more intellectually interesting than gustatorily, coffee smells good and tastes horrible, et cetera.
They’d abandoned produce pretty early on after Cas decided that if he didn’t like broccoli, kale wasn’t going to be much different. The head of cabbage from Sam's side of the fridge is looking sad and wilted enough that Dean feels guilty about leaving it out. He hears Cas rustling around in one of the cabinets as he puts condiments and containers that failed the test back in their rightful places.
“Hey Cas, do you think–?” And he turns to see Cas wrist deep in a box of baking soda.
There is, of course, the space of time when Dean could say something. It’s not for eating, put it back, we’ll find something else. But Cas brings a dusty finger up to his mouth and carefully licks it, and a beaming smile breaks out across his face.
“Dean, I like these molecules!” he exclaims. There’s a smudge of white across his bottom lip.
“That’s awesome, Cas,” Dean says, because what else could he say when there’s a bigger smile on Cas’s face than he’s ever seen before?
Cas puts a fistful of baking soda in his mouth and laughs. Little puffs of powder leave his mouth with every exhale, like cold breath in winter.
Cas looks happier than he has in all the time Dean has ever known him. Over a leavener. Dean will buy a box for him every time he runs out. No, before he does. He’ll get those big four pound bags that no one ever buys. Dean will be the sole force standing between Cas and a baking soda-less life.
Just as Dean’s considering what becoming Arm & Hammer’s most loyal customer would entail, Cas extends the box to him and says, “Want some?”
Cas’s first instinct upon discovering a solution to a problem which had been bothering him for years is to share it with Dean. He feels absurdly like crying.
“Sure. Good for stomach aches, y’know?” Dean just says stuff sometimes, not even knowing if he means it. He takes a pinch between two fingers and immediately spills half of it down his shirt.
It tastes way worse than he thought it would. Dean just barely resists making a face as he tries to roughly swallow whatever hadn’t dissolved in his mouth.
“Salty,” he chokes out.
"Yes! That's the ions dissociating. Can you feel it?" His eyes are wide and bright. Fuck, are his cheeks a little pink? Dean's feeling flushed himself.
He lets himself cough just once before saying, "No, buddy, I think that's just a you thing." He longs for the dregs of the beer he left out there.
"Dean," Cas starts, staring down into his box, "Thank you."
"For what? You found it all by yourself." He wouldn't even have thought to suggest it.
"Thank you for giving me the push I needed to try," Cas says, a wry smile growing on his face as he looks up, "You always seem to do that."
If Cas takes Dean's impulses and crafts something better out of them, he's just happy to be part of the process.
"Anytime, Cas. I mean it. If I'd known that something like this could make you so happy," Dean inhales carefully here, "I'd have done it years ago."
Cas must get it because his eyes go wide and he stops breathing. He fidgets with his box. He crams another handful into his mouth.
"We should. Um. Get to bed. It's late, Dean."
"Yeah! Yeah. You'll... be here tomorrow, right?" Cas doesn't leave, doesn't wander the way he used to but it's always a possibility hovering around the edges of Dean's perceptions.
"I'm not planning on going anywhere, Dean."
-
And then that's how it goes. Sam finds Cas's habit funny. Jack joins in on it, though not with the same level of gusto as Cas demonstrates. There's always a box of baking soda in one of Cas's pockets, two if he's lucky. If Dean looks hard enough he can usually see a white streak of it somewhere on Cas's coat. His hands are often dusted with it like a baker's. If it feels gritty between Dean's fingers, who cares? It's what makes Cas happy and that's all that matters.
