I know gender is meaningless and is whatever I want it to be but man, sometimes figuring out presentation really sucks.
Sometimes I dream of top surgery. Fuck boobs, right? They’re unwieldy and annoying and sweat gets stuck in there and I hate hate hate when a partner touches them in a sexual manner and I suspect there are days where the word ‘dysphoric’ really applies re: my relationship to my chest - and other days they’re not enough and I somehow want more. I own push ups and sports bras both. And like, fine, whatever. I get it. Genderfluid means sometimes even I don’t know what I wanna be, I guess, it’s fine. And it’s not just boobs! It’s hair, it’s clothing, it’s makeup, it’s everything. Anything.
And it’s so frustrating not knowing. Some of it’s my other psychological issues I bet and some of it’s probably lingering societal pressure, intended or otherwise, but mostly it’s just. Exhausting. Do I want to tip masc today or do I want to go femme? Do I want to exist somewhere in the middle, or do I want to embody both, or do I want to baffle the world with an expression they can’t even begin to pick apart? Sometimes I know! Sometimes I can put together a plan and it feels amazing when it all comes together, like my skin sits right, and the day is glorious.
And sometimes it sits right, but only for a little while. Only an hour or two or five and then it all starts to itch again, and I get tense and snappish and seethe under the discomfort, at the betrayal of my own mind and my own body, and I hate it, I hate my body, I hate myself. And I curl up in bed full of self loathing and exhaustion and that endless, interminable itch.
Anyway. I don’t have any solution for this, obviously. I really do believe that gender is whatever you want/need it to be, and presentation should be fun and enjoyable. It’s freeing, not being trapped into the mindset that things have to be one singular correct way.
But sometimes freedom is just. so. exhausting, and I just want to rest.
#personal nonsense#anyway while I am wholeheartedly in favor of genderfluid positivity#and fucking the gender binary and so-called ‘rules’ of presentation#I don’t really hear anyone talk about how tiring it can also be#that constant battle with yourself#like yeah sometimes it would be easier if I was cis yknow?#if I was just fucking with my presentation for fun instead of the itching#but I’m not and I’m not#this is me for all my attempts to learn who that really is#I still don’t know#and sometimes I’m very tired about it

#probably my last sunny walk at home :(#keeeeellll meeeee#i think one of the things i hate about going back to uni is not being able to experience autumn and winter at home like i used to#it’s weird because i’ve always loved them and considered them my favourite seasons.#but last year (and now this year) i’m realizing that oh! i think it’s because i got to come home after a long day and be in a safe familiar#space. and at uni everything is still a bit unfamiliar and not very comforting so the long cold days get so much harder#but i will surviveeeeeee#counting on gilmore girls to get me through it!! and also love is blind s7. i LOVE having things to look forward to every week it makes tim#fly by so fast. last yr every friday night was reserved for me and i ate frozen pizza or takeout and/or my favourite snacks and#watch my comfort films :( i cooked a lot those nights too 2 save money but yeah. it was rlly nice to have that comfy safe time to myself#i think it rlly got me thru uni.#ik it’s gonna be so hard to get back into a routine but im trying to tell myself that i need to like. focus on the basics first. adulting#can be so hard & i wanna do everything at once! i wanna b perfect in all areas. always do my hobbies. etc etc but i#i couldnt even get out of bed to make myself meals sometimes 💔 so i need to like remember if i don’t journal or read a whole book in a day#not the end of the world. and most importantly i need to be EATING and staying active and SLEEPING FIRST and foremost cause then hopefully#i won’t feel like a zombie.#okay anyways.#feeling sad feeling tired feeling unmotivated but also feeling a teensy bit excited for finally BEING ALONE!!!!#i have my cardiologist appt tmrw so maybe that’s why i feel so yuck also. just thinking abt it makes me wanna throw up#i hope everything goes well#anyways bye bye#♡ dear diary…

everytime i’m faced with wild overt misogyny that’s just platformed like it’s nothing i remind myself that people don’t actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. “but socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we don’t recognize it” sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isn’t disappointing because “oh i can’t believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like this” it’s disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. “it’s my biological imperative as a man to dominate you” okay well it’s my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment “onlyfans detected opinion rejected” on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and i’m learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so it’s a whole thing
#lotte.txt#womanhood is a fun thing to participate in with women who do not hate women. otherwise it’s very stifling and starts to not be worth it 4 me#for other girls — cis and trans btw — i think relishing in womanhood still feels worth it even when it’s very difficult and i admire that#but apart from my fashion sense and bloodlust i feel very detached from womanhood as like this primal animate Essence#but i don’t really want to be a man either. i like being a Weird Girl i like being a Hot Weird Girl#i’m more of a Hot Weird Girl than a Hot Weird Boy and i’ve discovered that through trial and error#and calling myself nonbinary/fluid accurately describes my experience in a lot of ways. but i also sometimes feel like the label doesn’t..#serve me? if that makes sense#like i got really into kibbe in 2020 and it was like oh shit i’m a soft dramatic. how cool that there’s something that describes my body#but after a while i got exhausted with kibbe because yeah. by the logic of the system of course i’m a soft dramatic#and i operate with that knowledge in the back of my mind. but also so what. i am aware of the shape of my body now#and now i feel the label has very little left to offer me#like if you’re asking? sure i’m a kibbe soft dramatic. but i don’t hold kibbe’s system as law or view it as crucially important#that is very much how i feel rn about calling myself nonbinary#like if you want me to think about it? yeah i don’t strictly conform to the gender binary#but i don’t believe gender itself is useful for my growth - i don’t hold the institution of the gender binary sacred - why bother#why draw attention to where i exist within the system when i’m tired of defining myself in terms of the system at all. yk#aUghj. anyway

Uhmmm what if instead of Master Splinter his name was Master Freak. And his turtle sons were Freakytello, Michelfreakalo, Freakynardo, and Raph.
#‘Leonardo one day you’ll be like a father to your brothers’#‘umm guys now that I think about it master splinter was kind of a freak /derogatory’#this is about 2012 but whatever whatever I don’t care#yeah splinter is very complex in 2012 and I love him for it#but also. also. sometimes I can just say some of the things he did were absolute freak behavior and leave it at that#I’m soooo tired#tmnt 2012#tmnt#it’s not technically about them but this could be in character in a different way for rottmnt because they’re insane

my five surviving braincells when something remotely good happens:
#in other news… wORK IS OVER PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#man. i’m s o tired. i can’t believe i survived almost 2 whole years at this job…#huh. come to think of it… i started tling idol sengen before i even got this job lol. and i’m only 3/5 of the way through it…#can’t believe the idol sengen grind->hiatus->grind(?) outlives my time at [withheld] company…#i did end up spending a cool 20 mins cleaning out my work locker though. i found so many treasures i didn’t even know i had in there#like. there was an unopened 3-pack of wet tissues a n d an unopened box of pens that i don’t recall buying#and ofc the 3 random sponges i ‘liberated’ from the lab. don’t tell my boss lmao#w a i t now that i think about it i should’ve taken at least 1 vial of (allegedly) carcinogenic sand for the memories. dammit.#oh well. what’s done is done i suppose. i did receive way more chocolate than i could ever eat though…#y. yeah. i guess i’ll miss my coworkers (a little). they were fun to annoy every day. except for the new guy bc i don’t like him at all lol#i have never met someone who lacked as much common sense as he. i think he’s gonna get canned before he’s able to resign on his own terms#dude could be spoonfed through every single step of the testing process and *still* mess up somewhere smh#but no. this isn’t about him. even though he is the final straw that led to my decision to resign#hm. looking back on it now. i think i was pretty good at my job for the most part when it came to the things i could do#or maybe i was too good at it. like. to the point where even more experienced analysts were coming to me in search of help#prolly gonna miss being one of the very best (out of like a grand total of 10 people at the lab) at doing ftir-related tests#ehehehehehehe i wonder if that workstation will continue to stay as organised as it is now that i’m gone#a n d i wonder what my coworkers will do now that they can’t ask me for ms excel help for the smallest of things lol#sometimes i just wanna tell them to g o g o o g l e i t ! ! ! when they call me over for it. but alas.#can’t believe these guys know how to use c h a t g p t and not ms excel (despite having it on their resume) smh#omg wow this got long and incoherent sorry guys i think i need some sleep lol. idol sengen next week..#…maybe…? no promises though!!!!!

I’m like Johnny Truant in the tags of every goddamn post I make or reblog on this site and I’m not apologizing. If you want me to apologize come over to my house and you can talk to the minotaur about it
#House of leaves#im literally going insane these days I should go back to journaling but I’m also afraid of how far off the deep end I’ll go#Literally I am losing it and I’m being serious#I’m so fucking tired of being lonely and being left out and not being able to make connections#Sometimes I feel as if im doing things without realizing and no one is telling me about it#Other times it feels like I must have something incredibly wrong with my face or body and no one will say anything#People make plans and don’t bother to ask me if I want to join and then when I find out there’s a group chat that all my friends are in#Except me and when I asked if I could join I was given a bunch of reasons that were frankly bullshit why I couldn’t join#Are they talking shit about me? I know everybody there it’s not like I am a stranger#Am I just a stranger in this world as I unllikeable? I try my best to be nice and charitable but what am I missing?#Do I black out and say things and do things? Am I more mentally ill than I know?#The only reason (or one of the very few) why I stay alive is because of my horses because I know they would miss me and I already feel bad#Not seeing them everyday#I’m tired of being the odd one out I’m tired of being entertaining when necessary#I don’t want my only friends to be horses because it further alienates me from the rest of society and I just want to be accepted I’m not#Looking to fit in I just want connection and friendship and I can barely seem to manage that#Maybe I’m just not worth it.

pins up a sign on the wall outside the captain’s quarters that says “ask me about my re-emerging undertale fixation, i am dying and we are literally in space”
#ney’s idle chatter (random textposts)#this is genuinely only half a joke#i’m stuck between being Tired and being Very Obsessed#i don’t mind if it’s about aus or canon—i draw more canon but i see the au appeal sometimes!#… also honestly i just wanna wave hello to all the undertale crewmates that have been finding my blog through the gaster stuff LMAO

does everything suck or is it just me being over dramatic
#The sk trauma deniers (myself are fighting a hard battle (against myself also)#Me when life altering events alter my life: 😰#Vague venting because everything sucks and my shoulder blades feel weird and I miss him#And I miss the way life used to be and I miss being happy and I miss being safe#And I miss a lot of things and I hate a lot of things and I miss a lot of things that I hate#Struggling and I feel like there’s a lot of things I’m feeling that I don’t acknowledge out of the subconscious#(Example: very upsetting part of my dream in which I saw my ex. Clear as day. It was so awful I wanted to cry)#Everything sucks im going to sleep and maybe feel better in the morning for a little and then collapse into tears again#Killing myself party is back on actually. I miss the person I was I miss my sister I miss my family#Everything is different now and I wish what happened never happened even if I refuse to acknowledge it happened sometimes#I just miss. A lot. I wish I could just shut off all of this#Vent#I’m fine just tired and feel like everything is crashing …..and I’ve been thinking about one thing my dad said#“Not to encourage your little relationship” ?????? I have never felt more like shit#I know I haven’t given a reason for my parents to like the people I’ve dated but the one time I date a guy who is genuinely so kind#And they’ve been hearing about him for over a year and they’ve even met him they still don’t want to trust me#It’s utterly awful that I feel like I’m improving for him rather than for my family#I should want to improve for both. But it’s so demotivating. I do it for him#Ugh….vent over I hate this shit

My stomach really hurts and I am frankly very mad about it
#side note all the leaves around here are changing it looks very pretty. anyways.#OWWWW girl I am trying to CHILL#I will cry man don’t test me I will sit down at work in front of god and the customers and everyone and I will cry.#I am very tired and had a dream about a house fire and my STOMACH HURTS because 96 hour panic attack is an ‘I’m not really eating’ situation#and then you have to REINTEGRATE mealtimes and it HURTS#OW#tacit rambles#disordered eating#<- one thing about being very staunch with the trigger tagging is that it DOES sometimes make you put a name to your behavior that you#otherwise wouldn’t. but also cmon man :////

this is the third time (at least) my mom has asked me if I think I’m aroace because of that one time I had a bad time at a dance with a boy when I was fifteen and now I believe I’m unworthy of romance and actually maybe I’m just scared of rejection and I just convinced myself I was aroace so that I wouldn’t have to face it and I’ve had to explain to her that no, mom, that’s not how this works :/
and she wonders why I don’t like talking to her about being queer.
#and listen I know she’s trying to learn#but it’s very tiring feeling like I have to justify myself to her over and over and over#aroace#aromantic#asexual#sometimes I just get soooo tired of allos#(I’m not talking about all allos btw just The Allos™ y’know)#vent post

Headcanon: *I had an explanation here but I didn’t seem to know what I was talking about and I was waffling* the events of F-Zero GX (including Story Mode) occurred in between the second and third Smashes and he’s had to work around hiding his powers since then (I headcanon occasionally he grows massive falcon wings because of that belt) and Mewtwo helped starting with its return half way through the fourth Smash (given it’s the only fighter to know about this due to its Psychic powers) and the events of Metroid Dread occurred during the fifth Smash and once Samus returned she had a similar deal with her Metroid DNA (which still tries to take over every once in a while). The two of them now confide in each other more than ever and Mewtwo has taught Falcon how to tame Samus’s Metroid DNA every time it tries to take over
#sometimes you just want some mutual hurt/comfort#though I think I focus way too much on the wing headcanon and not enough on something a bit more dangerous#like accidentally losing control over the powers in general#super smash bros#f-zero#metroid#I’m not gonna tag it as a crossover bc it’s a Smash post focused on the Smash part so I think that tag covers it pretty well#headcanon#smash headcanon#captain falcon#samus aran#I was actually going to say something about Falcon being fine to touch Samus when she’s like this bc belt makes him immortal#he just gets very tired afterwards#but I didn’t for whatever reason#(and don’t ask me how this changes World of Light honestly I just wish Nintendo wouldn’t treat F-Zero as a joke)

so I had the summer (in reality, like… almost three months) off from one of my volunteering roles and I’m 20 minutes into my first meeting back and I am already so irritated and angry. maybe this is Not A Good Sign.
#people! are! just! so! useless!#and I am being uncharitable to some people but god#this meeting is also going to go on fucking forever bc nobody can stay on track#and like everyone is very nice! but sometimes I do not care about people being nice I care about getting shit done and not being in#a meeting til 8pm#like maybe I need to#just. dip.#I am full of frustration#I managed to get my point said about us needing more people there to Get Shit Done in between everyone being very optimistic#and like they agree with me#but god#I thought I would have more patience after a few months off and. nope. less patience#it’s just herding cats on intense steroids#and not doing it for a couple months has uh. brought into sharp relief how dysfunctional and infuriating a system it is#one of the people I work with just talks all fluff#like a consultant who charges by the word is what my partner said#and it’s all like things we should do or things we should focus on and empty buzzwords#‘we need to ensure these people have a seat at the table’ ‘we need to expand our offering’ ‘we need a concrete x policy in place’#‘we need to provide a space for the most marginalised in our community’ ‘#like great ok but what are we doing and crucially who is doing it and how#bc you’re not doing it you’ve just said you’re at low capacity#and we are at best a team of five and currently a team of three if we’re optimistic#the buzzword bingo REALLY pisses me off idk if it’s the lesbian in me or the scientist in me or just the tired grumpy old man in me#I think I’ve complained enough#I may…….. have to reconsider what I’m doing here I don’t think getting this angry within a few minutes of a meeting is healthy#it’s a good org I think we do important work#buuut at what point is that not a good enough reason to stick around yknow#ok if you’ve read this far thank you for reading all my anger

Does anyone wanna do Blorbo hours with love at twilight gang
Blorbo hours is just where you ask a character a question and I answer in character.
#or just any characters in love at twilight#I know I haven’t shared much on some characters but#I’m thinking about it#might have written myself tired but#working on chapter 6#unfortunately chapter 5 isn’t completely finished I’m stuck on some details#agh#but I’m sooo excited for the 11th#I feel like nothing special happens but sometimes the mundane stuff makes me happy#anyways I’m rambling#last time I did this no one asked anything so we’ll see lol#I did do this on my lbl account tho and it was very fun

didn’t make it to church today, and don’t feel like i will for a while
#the hemiplegic migraine attack has wound down but now i’m insanely fatigued#so so so tired and a bit agoraphobic and anxious#not in the stressed way but in the my brain is fucking up way#and i don’t even feel up to eating in a restaurant let alone seeing and saying hi to a bunch of people i know but don’t know well#the leg perked up a little bit when the headache came on#but is still weak still has some foot drop#that’s gonna take a while i guess#in severe attacks the weakness can last for weeks#hand is mild compared to my leg but it’s a little weak too and tingles sometimes#i’ve never had this bad of lasting weakness before#back in 2020 i lost fine motors skills in my hand for a while#but it came back after a few months#permanent deficits are very rare#and you have about 2 years with nerve stuff before you can really call it permanent#so i’m scared but have hope of having a normally functioning leg by the end of the year#innko talks#chronic illness
