Home - Mi Casa
On 20th December, my flat flooded. This was due to a fault in the flat above, which caused water from their boiler to vastly flow into my flat. This happened for about six hours until someone came to fix the problem. The only way I can describe it is like watching a waterfall of warm water cascade across my entire flat. It will probably come to no surprise that, after the event was over, my flat was deemed unlivable due to the water damage. I have since also had to throw out most of my furniture and belongings. After having a somewhat stressful Christmas at my Mother’s, I came back knowing that I was effectively homeless and I have been living at a hotel for over a month now. My current stay is until the end of March, but I have been warned that the work in my flat might take up to June to complete. Which is somewhat poetic, if it will take that long. All of this has got me thinking about one thing though: What classes as a home? I have mentioned before how, due to my parents work, my childhood involved moving location every couple of years. I thought this was “the norm” and just went along with it. Even when my parents divorced. When my Mother wanted to move closer to her own family, she asked if I wanted to move to somewhere near her. Or stay closer to work. I chose the later option and found a lovely place to rent near work. Where I had just been promoted at the time. Things were going well and I wanted to use this opprtunity to start my own life.
Lockdown happened shortly afterwards, so I missed a big chunk of getting to know the area and the local people. However, I made up for it later on with community work and have since made some amazing friends. These include army and non army and this is where I consider myself very lucky. Though I am still having nightmares and my mental health isn’t the greatest right now, the kindness of people around me since the flood has been incredible.
I have several colleagues who fight over who will do my washing or bring me meals. Some friends have invited me to their houses. The belongings which survived are scattered around different houses in storage. People often check in on me. And I try to do what I can in return to thank them. It’s a big part of what makes a community a community. And thus what makes the community a secure part of a home. It keeps things going even if one falls down or needs support.
In terms of BTS, we have seen Yoongi be afraid of moving in the past. Jungkook mentioned the members being back together in BV4. How the members congregated together during ITS or at hotels whilst on tour. No matter where they go or no matter how long apart, they make it work or lift each other up. The same goes for their group chat too or hearing each other's voices on the phone. As long as they are together, they are able to keep going as a team. And in part of that, I am also very grateful that Jimin and Jungkook have each other right now.
Not being in your physical home throws you completely off balance, but knowing you have that connection with others and the love around it goes a long way. And that is what makes a home. Note: I know this is very different than what I normally post, but I have had this in my drafts for a while and decided I might aswel share it. Talking about how traumatic the last month has been is somewhat helpful to and I would like to thank everyone who has reached out, offered helped or been so understanding about my lack of post schedule. Much Love, Becca xx

hey! What is Tatort Saarbrücken and is there English subtitles for it? (Also where can I watch it?)
hi anon! so. bear with me here,
First you must understand that Tatort ("Crime Scene") (Wikipedia) is the German cop show. A lot of German television is cop shows, but this is the one - it's been running every Sunday since 1970 (making it the longest-running German TV drama), in the prime time slot at 8:15pm on public-service broadcast organisation ARD's TV channel Das Erste, right after the evening news program Tagesschau. Murder-of-the-week style, every episode deals with a homicide case that the characters then investigate and eventually solve (and it's all very dramatic, as crime shows tend to be). So you understand Tatort is very mainstream. The mainstream. Your parents watch Tatort. Your grandparents watch Tatort. It's a Thing. (it's also obviously all copaganda we're aware of this)
(This makes the fact that it trends on Tumblr every year very funny to everyone involved. Because it's, y'know. Tatort. Half the reason people (including me) get into it is because they go "why is Tatort of all things trending on Tumblr what is all this about")
There's different versions of Tatort, set in different cities and all produced by the public-service broadcast services of that region - each focusing on different characters (but all of whom are cops because that's what the show is about). Each location only gets one to three episodes a year, so it switches through every week. There's Cologne, Münster, Berlin, whatever; and then there's Saarbrücken. Saarbrücken is the capital of Saarland, the smallest German state after Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin (all of which are city-states). It's... unremarkable. You never usually hear anything about Saarbrücken. Or Saarland in general really (sorry Saarland). So you wouldn't expect its Tatort to be remarkable either.
Except! This particular set-in-Saarbrücken Tatort has been running since 2020, and people on Tumblr got interested in it because the two main guys have a Dynamic(tm) going on. After episode 3 they also officially added the two women to the main team because they forgot about them the first time around or something (thank you mainstream tv). but anyway our four characters are Leo Hölzer (the buff guy in the holster, kind of the glue of the team), Adam Schürk (dishevelled blond man who is really bad at his job and Angsty(tm)), Pia Heinrich (workaholic in the sports jacket), and Esther Baumann (big football fan, seemingly the only person on this team who actually takes her job seriously).
Tatort Saarbrücken is also affectionately known as "Spatort" (Spaten (spade) + Tatort), because a lot of Leo and Adam's Dynamic is about the fact that they knew each other as kids when Adam was being physically abused by his dad, and Leo eventually hit the dad over the head with a shovel, putting him in a coma (which, spoilers, he wakes up from at the end of the first episode). And then Adam went missing (left the city) for like 15 years but now he's returned to Saarbrücken for mysterious reasons (it was Leo. Leo was the reason). and now he and Leo are work colleagues and they have queer-flavoured tension going on and this backstory is still very much relevant in between the usual crime-solving. they are honestly not very good at their jobs but well that's part of the appeal. and people enjoy gay shipping them because of course they do. (is this queerbaiting? maybe! but again the fact that this is all in Tatort is very ???-inducing to many)
Pia and Esther were only officially added to the "main team" in episode 3 because I guess the writers forgot about women for the first two. which is unfortunately not surprising but well they're here too now! until last episode they felt like they might have had some sort of queer thing going on too but then in the 2025 episode Pia had a suspiciously-het-romance-teasing scene with Adam (they do not have romantic chemistry this was a weird choice we all agree on this) and Esther was flirting with a previously-unseen French colleague (who was a woman though so win for queer Esther enjoyers) so who knows. but we like them too! even though there's less dramatic backstory for them both, there's still things hinted at (like Pia's sister having gone missing years ago. knowing this show this will be relevant at some point)
Also as you may have already gathered there is only one episode of Tatort Saarbrücken released every year. So basically every January we all come together and tune in to watch our annual 90 minutes of cop show episode, liveblog together, make gifsets about it, trend on Tumblr, and then go back into hibernation until the next year. It's a beautiful event for the German tumblr community
As for watching it: It's public television, so it's available for free online in the ARD Mediathek. The six episodes there have been so far are, in order:
Das fleißige Lieschen (named after the codename for the V-3 cannon (Wikipedia) - 2020)
Der Herr des Waldes (The lord of the forest - 2021)
Das Herz der Schlange (The heart of the snake - 2022)
Die Kälte der Erde (The cold of the earth - 2023)
Der Fluch des Geldes (The money curse - 2024)
Das Ende der Nacht (The end of the night - 2025)
As for English subtitles - there's no official ones, but you can check out this post for info on fanmade ones!

I want to hold Stanford's hand so much, when I am sad, happy, joyous, love, sorrow, I want him to know how much it would mean to hold his hand. Do you think he would love someone needing him so much because of -pardon- a kink, or the fact a six fingered hand can fully encompass ones own?
ohhh sweetheart this is such an interesting question because it’s really about Ford’s relationship with intimacy and self-worth, i love it!
sorry again for long text, i feel lonely and wanna talk
anyways Ford's six fingers, his intelligence and his social struggles made him feel different so he believes that he is fundamentally not like other people. and this only got worse after the portal, Bill and thirty years spent in dimensions. so touch, closeness and physical connection were lost to him for decades
Ford is someone who doesn’t really know how to process love. like... he’s always been the kind of person who thinks with his brain first and feels with his heart second, which means when it comes to affection or closeness, he doesn’t exactly reach out first. he’s the kind of person who would need reassurance that it’s okay to need and want someone
so when someone wants to hold his hand, in every emotion, in every state of being, it overwhelms him because listen, Ford is not used to being wanted in that... simple way. sure he’s been admired, respected, envied mb, Bill was obsessed with him too. but loved in a way that asks for nothing except to be close to him? no
Ford doesn’t know how to accept it. physical affection that isn’t just practical or necessary? affection for the sake of affection? it’s foreign to him
his whole life, he has thought of his body as smth wrong (he still remembers the name of his bully from his childhood so bullying/outsider trauma never left him), six fingers and hands meant for equations and inventions, for gripping the handle of a gun or the edge of a dimension where he doesn’t belong
but ohh damn ur hands? at first, he wouldn’t know what to do with it. you reach for him in sadness, in happiness, in boredom, in comfort. you reach for him. him, the man who spent decades convinced that he was untouchable so maybe that’s the first thing that stuns him about it. how, despite the years he has spent thinking of his hands as too much, they feel RIGHT when wrapped around yours
you’re reaching for that extra finger and for Ford it's a reassurance that his imperfections are not just accepted, but desired
because he realises, like yeah this is real. you mean it. he has spent his whole life fighting to prove his worth, to be enough in the eyes of the world, but with you, he doesn’t have to prove anything. he just is. and that’s enough for you
soooo yes. yes, he would love it. holding hands does smth to him. smth he would never admit out loud. he wouldn’t always know how to say it, wouldn’t always know how to ask for it, but if you reached for his hand, he would always give it
and if he ever caught himself missing the weight of your hand in his, he would reach first

So I'm gonna admit, I had a moment of weakness when I saw the "brothers" line because to each their own, enjoy what you want, but that's not really my cup of tea if you catch my drift. But I sat and thought it over and came out the other side with an even greater appreciation for TreyRid.
And I've just!! Gotta ramble. For all the people I see saying we were robbed.
Trey seeing Riddle as an incredibly smart little brother highlights the importance of their bond in that moment--and just in general really. It's different from just being close friends, it's not often you reach that level of connection and start seeing another person as not just friends, but family without a deep trust and enjoyment of each other, especially from someone who does have actual blood siblings he also really cares about. It's not romantic (right now) but he loves Riddle so much that a large portion of the changes in Trey's dream are literally about wanting him to be happy.
He knew this kid for all of 3-ish months before they were separated, and yet he held on to his memories of Riddle for so long that he went around excitedly talking about him to all his dorm mates! You have not seen hide nor hair of this dude for almost a decade how are you still this devoted to him (it's partially The Trauma oops). And then if that wasn't enough, he spent the entire previous year trying and failing to reforge some kind, ANY KIND of friendship from square 1 while effectively treading water with managing the dorm. He didn't volunteer for this! He could've easily decided nah, screw this, I wanna support him as a regular student instead of vice and either quit the job or, if drastic measures felt needed, peaced out to Octavinelle or some other dorm! But he stayed, and he tried to make it work!
And now post-blot they're getting there, they're both aware they missed each other and that the distance was from repressed feelings rather than a bond broken. They're goofing around again, facing off in games and eating lunch together as a casual thing and just enjoying each other's company. They're letting their feelings show more often (ex: Riddle admitting to feeling like a burden in the Savanaclaw novel after Trey gets hurt). According to Cater they're often together, likely even before Riddle's overblot. There's still so much work they need to do, they're both still deeply traumatized (again thank you Cater lol mvp) and need time to come to terms with what happened. But even though it's only been a few months since they've been back on friendly terms, Trey still admits he holds Riddle to this high familial regard. Trey overtly loves and cares about Riddle SO damn much, and that's canon! Like this might be the most blatant it's ever been stated from Trey's end! Unless I'm being a fool and forgetting! Which I might be!
And here's the thing, they're both still young! Not even out of school yet! And feelings change over time. Sometimes those familial feelings do grow into romantic ones, and sometimes they remain familial. It's a slowburn ship, where as they continue to gradually pick apart and wipe down and stitch up those traumas, those feelings can morph into romance as they watch the other grow and heal. And that's coming from someone who loves exploring a romantic dynamic while they're still in school together heeheehoohoo.
Maybe Trey gets feelings as Riddle pulls away from his mom and matures, heals physically and mentally, the need for coddling fades. Maybe he ends up realizing that the way his heart races when he sees Riddle smile is different from when Chenya smiles, has always been different, and he wasn't able to recognize it until he worked through some of that Mrs Roseheart trauma. Maybe he already knows there's romantic potential there but also knows neither of them are ready for that sort of thing yet. Maybe it ends up being a lifelong queer platonic partnership. There's so many possibilities for their bond it's making my head spin.
I could go into the details of how Chenya being housewarden instead is a change made as a means to an end regarding both his yearning for his friend there to help in the previous year and how denying Riddle the role lets him be free from the pressure and weight of expectations, rather than overt dissatisfaction with Riddle's as a leader (thank you Ortho for that little addition). Or how Trey realizing that Riddle---the QUEEN---always gets the first tart slice was what helped him wake up on his own. But I think I've made my point.
TreyRid wasn't robbed, it was gifted an amazing foundation to build off of, maybe a few steps away from Trey just outright saying he wants to lick whipped cream out of Riddle's mouth.
#treyrid#trey clover x riddle rosehearts#trey/riddle#riddle rosehearts#trey clover#twisted wonderland#tldr their bond is so deep and treyrid still winning#i straight up went through the entire 5 stages of grief for a bit there before i really sat down with it#god i wish i could find that one post i saw about queer love not always needing to be romantic#and how a lack of overt romance doesn't make a story or relationship any less queer#because i definitely think it applies here to them even if i am solidly in the camp of 'it WILL become romantic at some point'#(not that i believe disney would actually allow that anytime soon haha)#and apparently i had a mini essay's worth to shout into the ether about it too lol

I'm slowly starting to realize that I don't understand love like other people do. Logistically I get it and I do *love* people, like my family and friends. But when it comes to romance and being close to people not platonically; it just does not exist in my brain. I've been so confused on what's right and what's wrong in relationships but I've been getting the wrong advice. I can't love someone romantically, I don't think I'm capable of it, but I LOVE the people I care about SO much. My friends and family mean the world to me and I think I've been lying to myself for years. I've been so afraid of admitting that I don't love romantically, that it's been low-key ruining what relationships I do have. Societal standards had me believing from a young age that I HAD to fall in love with someone eventually. That there was someone out there for EVERYONE, and some day someone would care about me so much they'd even put themselves before me. But honestly that's not what I WANT. I don't want someone who's ALWAYS near me (physically), the idea of just having to permanently share a bed with someone is HAUNTING. I don't understand how my parents do it. So when I grew up never having relationships or meaningful ones, I thought that there's was something missing in my life and it made me neglect the people who WERE there. And that pisses me off SO MUCH now. Like NO I dONT NEED A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP TO LIVE. God and I feel SO free saying that. I used to feel weird showing physical affection towards anyone; other people (and truly the Internet) made it seem like you only cuddled, hugged or even physically comfort (like hugs or being held) people you loved romantically. But like, I still like hugs from family and friends?? Me and my friends cuddle and hold each other when we're down, doesn't make us IN LOVEEE. I'm comfortable around these people, I love these people, they make me a better person. And I'm tired of not letting myself be comfortable anymore, because of the shit people make you think. Anyways this is basically just a long rant to come out as Aromantic!!

Finally done with this transit!! omfgggg tired is an understatement! I'm already sad for 59yr old me who's gonna have to live through this again lmao but anyway let's see how it was from December to January!
Notes from Saturn in Transit - Erin Sullivan
Saturn over the ascendant can be experienced as an extremely dramatic shift from "who you used to be" to "who you will be" but with a rather traumatic period of uncertainty while the no longer useful persona is sloughed off
The uncertainty is insane right now! Personally and professionally lmao like I actually have no idea if my job is going to affected yet by the new admin and no one knows anything at work so we're just waiting??? and personally I feel like I've been feeling more and more different from the people around me and it's sad! And at the same time I feel like I've been more open about things lol
The thresholding that is experienced during this time can be a shock to someone who has strongly identified with or has been identified with a particular and definite image
Real af lol I feel like i'm just trying out new personalities low key because sometimes I feel like I'm being fake and I have to retreat by myself and be like oh okay I wasn't it's all good lol
Understanding this necessary loss of personal identification greatly reduces stress and allows a more conscious transition into the new self image. The struggle is all about coming to terms with unconscious material in the conscious mind and vice versa
I started being able to remember my dreams again and actually being able to write them down! Even my prophetic dreams are starting to come back so it'll be interesting to see how more unconscious things manifest.
Symbolic of a descent into oneself
Descent into madness for SURE!! I also journaled in my physical journal once in the last two months lol it felt like anything I could write about was just too much to get into when I finally got some time to myself lol
Notes from Planets in Transit - Robert Hand
You will try to eliminate everything in your life that is not necessary to fulfilling responsibilities
This was way more a struggle this time around! I feel like the things won against me and my responsibilities lol I haven't done laundry since Dec! Well I've just been doing underwear and a few things I want to wear asap instead of everything which is 3 hampers....
You will become more complex and simpler at the same time
I feel like I have done a lot more that was just me following my excitement but to others doesn't really make sense bc they're not connected lol but to me they're all the same!
You are finishing up tasks going into a 5-8 year period of relatively quiet preparation for a new beginning
Low key been feeling like everything is ending but I have no idea what's next for me!
You may have less freedom of movement than usual because of the pressure of circumstances and the need to get things done
This omfg I had to go into the office so much more than usual to do assistant work bc the people that do that work were out or had whatever wrong so I was next in line I guess?
You may have to exert more effort at work in order to get the job done
Fr! I was literally redoing other people's work that they did wrong and I wanted to rip my hair out! This intern that's currently in law school was helping me make witness binders and he couldn't even hole punch...I'm not even exaggerating the holes were half circles and the paper was ripped.
Your superiors may give you even more responsibility than you would choose to have
On Jan 10 the last day this transit was exact I had to basically walk the document manager through printing while I was at home... then i had to show her how to print a shipping label like it was too much and then she still didn't finish on time and missed the fedex pickup like it was so crazy I had to talk to the managing attorney the following Monday and he thought I was gonna quit lol
Do not start out on a completely new project because in a few years you may find that you do not have the material or psychological resources to complete it
Haven't started any projects like that lol or at least none that would be relevant in a few years!
Good relationships will not suffer but bad ones will break up completely
Didn't have any bad relationship things happening.
You are withdrawing from everything in your life that is in the way of your development during the next few years
Been saying no way more!!
Avoid building a wall between yourself and others because they are important to you now that you are excluding those who do not belong
Been making it a point to be more open!
This is a productive time
Very! I finally finished my 3000 piece puzzle I started Jan 2024 lol
Follow through on the tasks that need to be done and get your life in shape for the next phase of preparation
..... Fine! I'll do my laundry tomorrow lol it's the only thing I've been slacking on!
Saturn conjunct Ascendant
As a 14 degree Pisces rising this was March 12, 2024 to May 8, 2024.
"Bitch wtf is going on????" - me the entire 57 days and it's coming back around in early 2025
Notes from Saturn in Transit - Erin Sullivan
Saturn over the ascendant can be experienced as an extremely dramatic shift from "who you used to be" to "who you will be" but with a rather traumatic period of uncertainty while the no longer useful persona is sloughed off
It’s been a weird timeeeeeee like there’s some things i'm like so excited about that are a “new me” and then there’s some other stuff I’m like 💀💀💀 about and I’m gonna pretend like nothing is happening for a while longer bc this feels like too much change at once 🥲 maybe in 2025 lol my mind has been going nonstop!
The thresholding that is experienced during this time can be a shock to someone who has strongly identified with or has been identified with a particular and definite image
lol I literally introduced myself as an astrologer to someone the other day bc they mentioned astro and me being an attorney never came up and it honestly felt nice 😩 yeah my entire schooling revolved around becoming an attorney but like it doesn’t "feel" like I succeeded at it lmfao and I’m honestly not putting a lot of effort into making it feel like success either so 🙃
Understanding this necessary loss of personal identification greatly reduces stress and allows a more conscious transition into the new self image. The struggle is all about coming to terms with unconscious material in the conscious mind and vice versa
I think so much is happening in my unconscious mind bc I usually remember most of my dreams in complete detail and the last two weeks at least I know I’ve had very longgg detailed dreams but when I wake up I can’t remember it in the part of my brain that can say it into words lol I feel like I’m missing out on messages!
Saturn brings to the ascendant all the manifest experiences and control issues that have dominated the last 14 year extraverted cycle during which the individual learned how to be present and accountable in the conscious world or accomplishments, deeds, and collective goals
"I'm giving myself goals because I don't know what to do with myself if I'm not accomplishing anything." - Me in 2021 a year after getting my law degree lol I feel like it encompasses this whole thing! During this transit I wrote a list of personal goals and they're not outward things like graduation they're more like be consistent with skin care lol the other day I told my aunt I just relaxed and I didn't do anything and she was like if you're so boring why don't you go on a walk and i was like??? I didn't say that?? lol made me not want to say anything else!!
Symbolic of a descent into oneself
When I first read this I was like oooh seems zen 🧘🏾♀️ IT WAS NOT ZEN IVE BEEN IN THE TRENCHES!! It feels like too much pressure to know and be like "this is who I am" i just want to be a pisces rising whose personality changes whenever
Notes from Planets in Transit - Robert Hand
You will try to eliminate everything in your life that is not necessary to fulfilling responsibilities
I didn’t do many things just for fun during this time everything had a purpose. I did finish reading two books unfinished from last year and it was in an attempt to spend less time watching videos which worked!
You will become more complex and simpler at the same time
Idkkkk I’m not sure I understand what this even means
You are finishing up tasks going into a 5-8 year period of relatively quiet preparation for a new beginning
I feel like I’ll see this more in 2025 bc right now I don’t really have anything started that needed to be finished lol
You may have less freedom of movement than usual because of the pressure of circumstances and the need to get things done
A week into this I made happy hour plans and I was going to leave work extra early bc I had nothing to do and I got an assignment literally 2 hours before I was going to go! I did finish in 2 hours and went to HH but it was stressful lol
You may have to exert more effort at work in order to get the job done
For real the last month I actually had so much more work at work than usual I was working a full 8 hour day sometimes 😭 usually I have like maybe 8 hours of work a week!
Your superiors may give you even more responsibility than you would choose to have
Facts! The last few days I’ve been essentially training this girl at work and the last day of this transit I finished lol seemed fitting
Do not start out on a completely new project because in a few years you may find that you do not have the material or psychological resources to complete it
This makes me feel like it should be about something big 😂 I have not started any projects lol I did apply to a few jobs but none of them even responded to reject me so that was also unintentionally not started
Good relationships will not suffer but bad ones will break up completely
I feel like Saturn in aqua in my 12H took care of most of the bad relationships already lol so this was fine
You are withdrawing from everything in your life that is in the way of your development during the next few years
Yeah I’ve been more annoyed than usual at people around me who are making the choice to struggle just bc they don’t want to try something new 😩 it’s been making me feel like I can’t be as close to them like it’s contagious 😂
Avoid building a wall between yourself and others because they are important to you now that you are excluding those who do not belong
Yes I’ve been making it a point to actually say yes to events lol but it's hard to keep in contact with people for some reason! I forget to or think that less time has passed and then I check messages and it's been weeks!
This is a productive time
I did get a lot done! I cooked a lot of meals, I washed all my bedding that’s been sitting there since end of last year, I cleaned my fish tank, I cleaned the mildew off my bathroom walls, I put a lot of my clothes away, my recycling pile is way down, I built a storage shelf thing for under my desk, I sewed a skirt, I read and wrote a lot
Follow through on the tasks that need to be done and get your life in shape for the next phase of preparation
I’ve been intentional about this! I made a list of things I want to get out of my saturn return in my 1H and one of those things is clear skin so I’ve been consistent with the routine like actually tracking it on the calendar! Losing weight was another on that list and the last two months I was just focusing on food like getting back into cooking and the last almost 3 weeks I’ve been tracking all my food and even using a food scale. On the last day of this transit I signed up for the gym!
Overall I would give this transit 6/10 😂 the mental anguish was toooo much Omggg I hope it’s easier in 2025 and after that I’m glad I don’t have to deal with this for another 30 years

why is travelling so expensive i wanna go to a convention again
i just suddenly remembered being in the line for our first grace photo of the day in philly and talking to other people in the queue and i said about how i could sense eddie was gonna be the barb-bob-alexei of s4 from the moment i saw him but i was so hoping the duffers were gonna throw us all a curveball by having him survive so as not to think they're too predictable (lol)
but anyway i remember this girl in the line next to us just looking at me with her eyes wide and shaking her hands at me going OH MY GOD YES! I THOUGHT THAT, TOO! WE HAD TOO MUCH FAITH IN THEM!! anyway this community is dumb as rocks sometimes but then what isn't. i still love it <3
#ridgespeak#like even though it's one of the biggest franchises in the world not everyone is into it in a Fandom Way#and i miss being physically around people who are into it like that#also that girl was the best she also agreed that hopper should have stayed dead to give the plot emotional weight#i never got her socials. i hope she's doing well

It’s so embarrassing and heartbreaking being in so much pain over losing someone while knowing they don’t give a fuck if you live or die. Your favorite person becoming a stranger is a special kind of hell.
#I fucking hate having bpd#while I’m at it I don’t understand the fuckin audacity some people have to say they love you and do horrible things to you#I feel so stupid#I feel so stupid for believing all the lies#but I was so in love and put him on such a pedestal that I just allowed it all.#thinking about someone constantly and grieving over them and knowing they’re perfectly fine and to them you don’t exist#I’m still in such a state of grief and I don’t understand why time hasn’t healed#it honestly feels like it’s gotten worse w time#I just torture myself but I can’t help it my brain wants me dead#it’s so painful I feel so fucking stupid#being abandoned with no closure by someone who’s your entire world#for someone they were unfaithful to you with multiple times (I don’t even know how many and dony want to know) immediately#like that was the plan all along#he took our cat hundreds of miles away and I don’t even know if he still has her or if she’s still alive and I miss her every day#I never loved someone like that and it feels like the heartbreak is actually physically killing me#i spent 1/5 of my entire life with him#I was my prettiest and had the best body at the time and I wasted it on someone who didn’t appreciate me#not wasted. it wasn’t wasted. we had some incredible times together#I’ll never be that beautiful again#and now idk what do so bc i can’t decide which is worse: being alone and isolating or loving deeply and ending up horribly hurt all over#it’s all just so upsetting.#and I feel so stupid for allowing it all#he knows more about me than anyone and he made me feel like he loved me so much sometimes and then did horrid things and it’s so fucked up#nobody read this I’m so embarrassed and horribly broken#it traumatized me so much there was so much abuse and pain idk if I’ll ever recover#I deserved it but it still hurts my heart#I was so mentally ill and sick I know it had to have been miserable to be around me#there are so many things only he understands and knows about me and I need to talk about them I j wanna b able to b there 4 each other#but that girl is so beyond insecure and controlling so. if I want to talk to who fuckin gets me I’m just fucked#why lead someone on like that for years knowing you’re going to abandon them the second it’s convenient

It's always interesting to hear about people's weird/unexpected "alternate life paths". Like, something that you could have done with your life, a job you almost took, a school you almost went to, etc - that was still actually realistic enough that it could have happened, but NOW it seems to not suit your current personality.
Like for example, I currently hate advertising (how manipulative it is, brands trying to be 'relatable', social media amplifying it to an obnoxious extreme, etc.) so much that even seeing a little ad before a youtube video is grating to even witness, but there was a point in time where I was genuinely seriously considering going into marketing/making commercials as a career lol. Or like, I have a relative who was very inclined to be a pastor when they were younger, even though today they're a super strong atheist, etc. etc.
#BECAUSE I knew I really liked filming and editing things and doing set design and costume design (from having done little bits of that#here and there in media classes and my own stuff - i used to be a lot more into making videos than I am now). BUT I was always thinking#that a movie is WAAY to big and long. even a short film. So I was trying to think of ways I could still like#have the fun of scouting locations to film and dressing up actors and etc. etc. without it having to be a Huge Million Dollar Production#on tv show or movie level. SO then I was thinking about like... just doing commercials. Or music videos. Like shorter things where I still#get the fun of the filming and everything but it's less of an intensive long term project.#So there is an alternate version of me (I suppose if i somehow did not end up having physical and mental health issues#as badly somehow.. or like.. randomly came into wealth and was able to pay my way through a nice college despite missing#days constantly being out because I'm sick or something lol) that works in some corporate advertising office coming up with commercials#and directing or filming them or doing the sets for them or something in that general vicinity.#I also was considering being a corporate psychologist. or whatever its called.. oh from google:#''Industrial and organizational (I/O) psychologists study and assess individual group and organization dynamics in the workplace''#I don't think I even knew what the job entailed. I was at the time just thinking like.. the type of person that comes into a business offic#and gives everyone personality assessments or does MBTI or big-5 testing crap for whatever reason that some businesses get that#done for people. Really i just wanted to be in a Corporate Big Office setting yet still do psychology. Because I used to be really fixated#on living in a big city. Like the ideas of everything being walkable. picking up a coffee in the morning. walking to my job in a Big#Skyscraper Building. people watching in a huge hotel lobby for lunch. flying frequently (I love airplanes and airports aesthetically).#living in an apartment with a giant window overlooking the city. etc. etc. BUT that was before i had really BEEN to a city. Then I actually#hung around a city a few times and went places and I was like... AUGh... The Sensory Overwhelm.. cars people lights loudness noise scary#everything happening all at once. etc. etc. (though even when I wanted to live in a city i NEVER strove for the Night Life. when i say I#enjoy city imagery I mean like... in the day time. Many people who like cities talk about The Night Life and post pictures of cities all#lit up at night and clubs and dancing and restaurants. none of that EVER appealed to me. perhaps a sign I am not a real city person. Like#I am NOT standing in a crowded bar full of loud people in the middle of the night lol.. get AWAY from me!!) but I do adore the#architecture of like bright white clean sterile modern spaces like huge airport lobbies or malls or etc. I think thats what reminded me of#city and what I liked about the idea of that life. Like I always LOVED the layout of schools and hospitals and trainstations and public#transport in general. Though even then I knew enough that I would not be a good architect/city planner. so I guess my adoration for those#spaces was merely to be channeled into LIVING there. but then I realized I didn't even really want to do that that much. I mean I still#definitely aim to live NEAR a city. like the little areas outside of it. I would never live in a rural place 4 hours from anything. I liter#ally just COULDNT since I need close access to hospitals sometimes lol. But I used to want to live in the CENTER of citites like high rise#condo. and now I'm like.... eh....... perhaps a smaller quieter walkable space nearby lol.. ANYWAY.. alternate me in my Business Suit eheh

#hhhhh it always feels weird going into the notes on an old post and seeing a person i knew who passed away#like just a random old fandom post#we werent close but like. it was nice always seeing that person at meetups and feeling welcomed by them#(since i was the newcomer there for college)#i was miserable but i still really miss that time in my life and think about all the ppl i met there all the time#fuck im crying lol i wish id been better friends with literally anyone there but especially that person too#fucking social anxiety and people dying young and moving back and forth from college ugh#i wish i did a ton of things differently#i hate not being an outgoing social person#but thats how my family raised me - to be introverted and quiet bc im the weird one in this stupid rural town back at home#i had a taste at freedom and all i did was take a sip rather than the whole drink#its really hard looking back and judging myself tho bc i know i was really going through a lot w mental and physical health#but if i knew it was only going to get worse i wouldve pushed myself harder#i miss that person and everyone else i met there and its hard feeling like im not allowed to grieve for a person i hardly knew#i always feel like an outsider no matter where i am or the people im around#i dont have history with anyone so its like. how tf do u start over new when everyone else already knows each other#all the small moments of momentarily feeling like a part of a group meant so much to me#anyway im ugly crying now i gotta try to do something else#vent#personal#delete later / /#ShitPost.exe

been sleeping over at my best friends' house for the work week, the last two weeks cuz I work the night shift and the roads are too icy for me to get home safe! which is why I've been a little quiet on here <3
they're both so sweet and wonderful and I could gush forever.
it's just been so cozy?? being around them doesn't drain my social battery at all. in fact, I feel rejuvenated. feels like when Beck used to live down the street and we'd sleep at each other's place every night in our early 20s. kinda made me realize I've not had this sort of friendship since they left for Japan or when I met Percy 6 years ago (and then we got gay married)!
#[static]#i feel like i gotta always say that ive got friendships i cherish deeply online and wished they were physically closer of course!!#but i feel so fucking lucky to have met brian and jesse and cant believe it's only been such a short amount of time of knowing them-#- and it feels like ive known them for so much longer. you just sometimes meet people who you just click with instantly#and it feels like you were meant to know each other in this life lmao#i just feel safe and at peace around them. i can be my weird gay creature self and they love and accept me for it#and i love them both so much!! i miss them when im not around them lmao and i dont usually miss people#it's just been like a besties sleep over for a week+ and my heart is so full#i wish Percy could be here!! the vibes are just like at home <3#they've been so vocal and kind at reassuring me that i can stay as long as i want to. i hate taking up space but i think it's sticking#i just hate taking up ppls space or being a burden LMAO but their patience and kindness has lured me out of my fears

part of me still feels like i might be sort of genderfluid and/or bisexual but just traumatized about it. no idea anymore
#like. remember that. remember following me back when i was bi and genderfluid lol. awhile ago now#its like whatever to me now. its really hard for me to pin anymore#like when i feel like genderfluid and bi again i feel like i can be a lot more open about shit#but i dont really even know. its hard#i feel like. and this is just like. me yknow. i feel like if i wasnt dating a man i'd be missing out on something that i want#like i dont know if i would be content just marrying a woman and being satisfied if i. didnt have a husband. yknow what i mean#and its like. if *I* wasnt a man i'd be sad. if in a relationship i wasnt someone's boyfriend or husband i'd be sad about it#so this is what wraps back around to me being a gayboy about it yknow#its complicated because no matter the gender label outcome. i would STILL want testosterone and surgery and masculine terms#and i KNOW this doesnt mean anything for some people. like some women do all that and are women#so i could just be not-a-man and still want all this anyways#but i also know it doesnt make it any less complicated for some of these women. who also had to think about themselves a lot in this way#its this weird notion of whatever ends up happening i... physically want the same shit anyways. THAT stays almost completely static#so that for me is a breather. its just like.... idk ... if i ever got in a relationship with a woman#i'd feel like i would be intrinsically. missing out on something i wanted#which i think is what a lot of burgeoning gay kids feel generally. right#like if you went down this stringent path laid out for you that you'd be missing out on. your life that you want. right.#i dont know what i want out of that really. sometimes i feel like im too out of it to pursue anything romantically anymore anyways#i do sometimes think it'd be cool to be a butch woman. kinda..?#i think what i like about that is the masculinity of myself is gender non-confirming if i were a woman#which if im a masc guy i'm just like. your average dude. like. right#but i wanna be a bear about it. i wanna fag it up about it. and my metric of being transgender im not ... average about how i present mysel#can someone teach me how to fag it up. the construction worker part of this is working right#sighhhh.... i have to go shower. maybe i;'ll have a shower epiphany or something. sighhhhh#sometimes in my head being a woman would be alright. but its like.. i dont even know how to decode it#i think some people would call what im feeling being genderfluid. some people might call it something else. it depends on like. you yknow#and what you want. and what makes you smile. me? not quite so sure anymore#and i think its like. this sounds like its laid quite bare right. but its hard to word even.#but sometimes im like. am i just like. talking ...? yknow what i mean.

forever thinking about how, according to maslow's hierarchy of needs (or simply the self-actualization pyramid) that is basically this motivational theory in psychology that's made up of a five-tier model of human needs, that misao went from being on the third tier in her childhood to reverting back to the first tier currently which is food, water, warmth, and rest.
[ here's a picture of it for reference, y'all ]
so, in other words... she is just trying to survive SO badly right now at this point in her life, that she can not even worry about things like safety or security and especially not friends. and that is UHH... i might, or might not be sobbing right now
#ALL POWER DEMANDS PAIN AND SACRIFICE: musings.#NO SLEEP OF THE INNOCENT. NOT FOR YOU: character study.#it takes the fact that misao has just been trying to focus on satiating her most basic instinct (to feed) to a whole NOTHER level tbh ;;#like idk what to say besides i am in pain thinking about how lonely she must be especially at night whenever thing's are quiet and-#she doesn't have anything to distract her from the fact that she has no one to depend on and no one who absolutely NEEDS her.#and of course her refusing to at least try to overcome her fear of vulnerability may play a part in this... but you have to remember that-#misao has never had the proper time nor the space to just focus on herself. to just focus on what she wants but i am in no way trying to-#demonize ryuuji or kaiyah here because that would just be wrong... i'm just saying that she doesn't really know who she is you know?#i mean when she isn't around other people and taking care of them. she genuinely DOESN'T know because that is what misao has done for most-#of her life until about 400 years ago or so?? yeah. and so misao turned to doing something that would fulfill her but not in ways that-#would attribute to her mental well-being. just to her physical well-being and misao may appear to be this super-friendly as well as-#confident person on the outside but i feel as if misao feels like she's broken inside because she cannot get out of the cycle of pushing-#people away when they get just a little bit too close to her. and it's like 😭 i mean yes she does have a LOT of trouble empathizing people-#because she has to fake being able to put herself in other people's shoes most of the time but misao kind of wishes she wasn't that way.#because it DOES isolate her from the rest of the population because misao feels like she just... doesn't get it. like she's missing-#a fundamental part of herself that people like ryu seem to have but she has been cursed with being perpetually alone both by her own hand-#and because of just how she is.

it’s really hard to have “it all” with people nowadays isn’t it?
#when i compare every time i felt the most confident about myself physically and mentally#i’ve always been around someone that made me laugh and genuinely made me feel wanted#nothing else matters besides our connection and how much we understood each other#and everytime i compare the couples i’ve always thought were cute and ‘’ideal’’ they did nothing but laugh and enjoy their time together no#matter what was going on around them#they were best friends and lovers#nobody understood each other quite like the other and without that#you have nothing at all#sure maybe the looks at first is what have drawn you in but it’s the connect that keeps them beautiful to you no matter what#to be seen is to be loved and to be truly touched#people wonder why relationships don’t lasts anymore but when you’ve grown up in a generation where how you look on social media or live in#an environment where loooks are everything it’s hard to value connection over that#but when you don’t value how someone makes you feel internally there’s nothing left#at the end of the day people never forget how you made them feel#and i miss feeling good by the people i have in my life#i feel like i haven’t laughed like i was understood in a long time#it’s my only goal when i connect with someone platonically or romanticly#i don’t want to feel drained or bored and i feel bored when i don’t feel safe and understood#it’s hard to have loyalty trust attraction and what looks ideal to the world without connection without understanding the person without#being understood yourself and it’s fucking scary but it’s so worth it to let that fear go and just let yourself love someone else who makes#you feel happy#and that’s what having ‘’it all’’ with someone else is#everything else materialisticly will come in time when you’ve stopped chasing shallow luxury over genuinely being happy#because you can’t have physical stability without emotional support from someone who genuinely just believes in you

It's almost 5am and I miss my dad. Not the man he is but who he could've been. Should've been. Who I thought he was when I was younger.
#chat this is how we know im spiralling this happens like 2x a year#i miss being told to call him when i was anxious to feel better instead of hoping he doesn't pick up#i miss going to him for affection bc my mom doesnt like physical affection#i miss talking to him about the stars.#i miss. a lot.#i miss coming home and feeling home#i miss asking for hugs withiut feeling anxious and trapped when i receive them#i miss feeling like i could go to my mom with anything#i walk on eggshells around her now more than i speak genuinely#but who else am i to turn to anymore. i dont want to be alone.#but no one likes to hear these things from me. ever the optimist. ever the strong one for people to lean on.#and im okay with that most of the time#im just tired#i want my dad. but i dont think the man i loved ever really existed#i want my mom. but i dont know if she would want me if i were honest.#im tired. im gonna try and sleep again.
