Tbh, this Falsettos project is literally so fun! Even though I had to re-caption everything again and lost my progress. Cause sometimes I got to caption songs like tight knit family reprise, or Marvin hits Trina, or making a home, or baseball game where they are just eating down and I get so hype about this musical everytime!!!! I don't CARE that I've been listening to it since 2017! It's like it's the first time! The GIRLS are FIGHTING and William Finn made SURE we KNEW!

I hope this video will be useful to others 😅 but if I'm the only bitch who wants it that's fine too lol

2024 —my year in writing

last year, i wrote more than i ever have like literally in my whole life. this year i beat my record by about 200k words. i am writing A LOT and it’s all because of you.

yes, you, reading this now. anyone who kudos’d or commented or liked or reblogged anything i wrote, and followed me here and on ao3, and ranted in my dms and added me to servers. you, reading the weird things i write, the things i can only write and only i can write, seeing it and liking it and coming back again and again for more. thank you :)

so here’s my 2024 summary:

words written: 358,963

fics published: 74

my favorite fics:

real world (stardew valley) - a story about parenthood and roads not taken. genuinely the most important story to me, a diary entry as much as fanfic

pilgrimage (bg3) - a story about two people without a past as they work toward an even more uncertain future. i also have no past because of a strange upbringing so this story is kinda personal to me even though it’s about a cleric and a vampire

novel (hades) - a story about looking for adventure and finding love and family instead. i had so much fun writing this and posted weekly without pre-writing which was a challenge but it all worked out

patchwork self (datv) - a story about finding pieces of your brother in yourself. i wrote a lot of structured fic this year and i think this one flowed the easiest and was the most precise in how it delivered the message i was trying to get across, also it’s gen which i never write

my most written pairing: thanzag with 11 stories! not surprising since ive spent most of the year humiliating myself over thanatos

my most used tags: romance, introspection, character study

what i learned: i learned above all to trust myself! this year i wrote and completed three multi chapter fics that i didn’t prewrite and posted week by week until it was done. i’ve never been able to do that before but this year i just did it and didn’t overthink it, and i trusted that i could finish the stories and i did lol i can do anything i think i just have to trust myself a little

what i want to write next year: i would like very much to write something original, i have a loose idea so i just need to sit down and write so my goal is really small and simple, hopefully i don’t let myself down

the company i work for decided that its switching from the german formal "You"(Sie) to the informal "you" (Du) in all of our websites so now we have to scour the entire database to change it and i quite frankly hate that, not just bc the unecessary extra work but especially bc its such a weird and unecessary change

i bet its bc everything here is getting englishfied (both literally and culturally it feels like, when my new boss talks its half in english bc every second german word is just replaced by an english one despite there being perfectly fine words for it in german too, its so annoying) and bc they want to sound more personal in hopes of getting more clients bc 'company is your fwiend uwu!!', i know this here is the amercian tm site so you wouldnt understand really but i do not want to be greeted with 'du' by companies, no, thats too personal, you dont know me and im not giving you my data, stay away!!

i guess thats how i would describe it .. the formal you is like a polite distance, like someone you dont know staying outside your personal space, but when its the informal 'you' it feels invasive unless i told you you can call me that, and that goes double for companies

maybe its a small thing that doesnt seem important but i cant stand it, im just a little part time worker doing data work so i got no say in it but the companies founder also announced hes giving his post to his kids some time ago so ...... since then theres been alot of changes and new projects that solely aim to imitate whats popular and whats done by other companies, despite ours being one that is, or used to be, intentionally different, like, that was the POINT, but i guess chasing trends is just too appealing for CEOs

a short study/animatic of lets work together because them doing tango has been haunting me

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

the issue with practicing good self-care is that it's so much easier to do when you're already feeling okay

on a day where I'm not in abject despair, I can go for a walk with little effort and stop myself from looking myself up and not get sucked into scrolling mindlessly on socials that'll make me feel like shit because I'm "not good enough"

but on a day when I do feel bad, not only are those things really, really hard to do but I actively want to do the harmful things even more. On a bad day, I am like 70% more likely to google myself. On a really bad day I want to actively seek out and read bad reviews (I don't, but the urge follows me around all day). Why? I don't know! It's like a form of self-harm.

And then of course if you give into those urges on the bad days, they make the bad days last longer and the good days harder to get back to.

I dunno where I'm going with this other than the fact that the human brain is a hot fucking mess and I wish it would behave itself.

I'll be happy to solve this billing issue for you, Mr. Mangione. It seems as though your mailing address was pulled from your parent's account. It's no problem, sir. I can help update that for you.

Have you downloaded the Healow app? You can use it to make changes to your account, view healthcare documents, find new providers in network. It's wonderful. You can update your mailing address there. Is there anything else I can help you with today, Mr. Mangione?

Sure, I can stay on the line.

After making account changes, it might take some time to update on my end.

Sorry to put you on hold, thank you so much for patiently waiting. I spoke with my colleague and it seems the Healow app doesn't have permission to make changes in our HealthSure database.

I've just emailed you the form to update your address. Once you send that to us filled out, we can get this all situated. Yes sir, it's a link to the form. What you'll need to do is access the Wanky app. Yes, at HealthSure, we use Wanky so your private data stays secure. I'll wait while you download Wanky.

Right, Mr. Mangione, once you've created your account, you can access all the forms you need to update your information for HealthSure.

The app crashed? I've had better luck with some clients using the Wanky program on their desktop computer. Yes, I can wait.

Yes, I've sent the change of address form to your Wanky account already. It's not showing up? I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience, may I put you on hold?

Sorry for the wait, Mr. Mangione. I've spoken with my supervisor. He's advised me to send you the form in the mail. Once we receive the change of address form back at our Atlanta office, we can make the necessary changes to your account.

Just one moment. Can you confirm to me your mailing address please?

Hmm.. that doesn't match the one we have on the account. Yes... Yes, this the address you're trying to change. I'm aware. I still need to type it in to confirm your credentials on my end of the system. Don't worry, Mr. Mangione.

Okay thank you for that information. ... Okay, Mr. Mangione. I'm going to mail you a packet to the address on file. If you can fill i out and send back to us--

... Right, yes, mr mangione. I see the problem now. May i place you on a brief hold?

Thank you so much for waiting. I spoke with my manager and he said the easiest way to update your account information would be to access the Wanky app on the computer, filling out the form, and then submitting it through the documents tab in the Healow app.

I'm sorry for your frustration, Mr. Mangione. I'm trying to make this as easy as possible for you.

I need more apps to frequent

[the-meme-monarch]

tumblr is actually fucking diabolical for several reasons but this one is for bothering me with notification pings and then trying to Shame me for turning them off. I'll look at my notifications when I open the app ok. you don't need to make pings at me while my phone is off to tell me someone liked my post

OCs today because I really missed them. Since I wanted details still but with less effort (aka no shading) I opted for their DND AU versions.

Not pictured: Paul (a Pauladin if you will) messing up and probably nearly dying for the fifth time.
