#im super fucking stupidly upset#Ive been applying for any and all editing jobs for a year#A YEAR#and all I’ve gotten was nos#I got a couple of freelance gigs but for a whole year that’s so little#I’ve been really questioning my worth as an editor lately#all this to say that I applied for a job I really really want and I’m sure it’s another no coming#based on the experience of the past year#the first interview went to well but all my first interviews seem to go well#and then it’s radio silence#I lost all hope at this point#im considering switching to another career but the thought for starting again without a portfolio or experience is daunting#I’ve never complained about this here#but this is what’s been consuming me since last August#and I haven’t had space in my head for fandom besides when I absolutely don’t want to think about my life#anyway

Careful Infinite, this is a one way ticket to him just putting you in the cute little white dress I did my playthrough of him in.
#sonic fanart#sth#infidget#rookinite#infinite the jackal#gadget the wolf#rookie the wolf#sonic au#minturts#I'm a bit rusty drawing cause I've been sick#still am sick but I'm working on it with doctors so hopefully it'll get fixed eventually!#decided to experiment a bit with merging the designs I've drawn in the past a bit#this is based about a year after the war in the Main AU I have#Gadget and Infinite went into hiding after the war as Infinite was super duper injured and took a year to be well enough to walk#after that they started sort of wandering around together with Gadget trying to document the damage caused by the war#Infinite mostly tagged along as he had Literally Nothing Better To Do and Gadget's willingness to forgive was probably not a universal trai#plus he felt he probably owed Gadget something and he hated the idea of OWING someone anything yep that's his excuse he's sticking with it

I'm not normally one to do anything more than lurk on social media. But 2 days ago I got properly introduced to omegaverse content after being to intimidated for a while, yesterday I discovered Let Me Try, and now I am tearing through LINK content like a rabid dog.
So uh
Thanks?
I still wanted to ask some questions if thats okay.
What are canon ages of the boys at the time of Close your Eyes and Lock Me In?
Do you have an idea of a time gap between those two stories? They seem to be the main points of reference of the timeline
Hello! Yayy, LINK's caught another one!! You're very welcomee heheh<3
Like all the other specifics for the stories, their ages / locations / accents etc. are a bit vague on purpose. I like to leave the room for everyone’s own imagination based on what they’re familiar with. It makes things a bit fuzzy for the timeline sometimes, but I just prefer having the blurred reality instead of basing it on real places and tracking a firm timeline.
But generally, I eyeball the gap between CYE and LMT to be maybe a couple of years.
The later on in the timeline we get with the newer published parts, I’ve been thinking that Kizzy, as the oldest of the four, are now getting closer to the mid-twenties mark and maybe over.
The age order is: Isac as the oldest (by two critical weeks🤺), then Kit, Liam’s a year younger, and then Nathan. -> Nat’s age difference to the others & the gap between the stories could technically vary +/- an extra year or so, depending on whatever length of uni you’d want to imagine.
So basically, the canon is vague and they are all twenty-ish something in CYE and LMT xx
#Sorry it's not a concrete answer :')#but maybe it answers something?#RAMBLE TAGS:#Looking back I can see that the way I write LINK#especially Kit / Iz / Liam#Skews a bit older than their ages in CYE#Based on my personal uni experience:#I think LINK would've been doing a lot more stupid shit if they were acting more “their age"#but then again#Lit has actual careers going that are demanding#And Nat's kinda just tryna survive#and Izzy is laser focused on his degree and probs has offers to join whichever publication he fancies before he's graduated#so keeping that up requires a level of maturity#yeah lets say that...#and ignore how CYE is basically just me wanting to write out all the mental health/psychology/therapy/trauma research#I've done in the past like 10 years#in story form#:')

bsd fandom is so awesome because bsd is so inherently gay that we're free from typical anime discussion. if i had to see powerscaling with bsd characters i would do something violent. the contents of bsd simply weed the dudebros out. it's natural selection
#it's beautiful it's perfect#it makes me happy because you can saw almost whatever about whatever hcs and people are like fuck yes Okay#which is a breath of fresh air#also lots of sapphics/lesbians here which makes me so happy#this is also based on my experiences alone in the past few years observing the fandom

i am just now realising that starting this blog in my final year of hs was a not so great idea ☹️☹️ i barely have time to draw anything for myself.. but i managed to finish this piece that's been sitting in my wips for half a year 👍👍 anyway
meet paweł and ryba!! (paweł - on the left, he/him for the character, ryba - on the right, he/they for the character, ryba belongs to my lovely gf kassr00n (on insta/tiktok!!))
#these two are the first ocs we've ever wrote together#even before WE became a couple lol#it's lowkey just a regular queer friends to lovers ??#but it's very special to me because we wrote their relationship based on our own experiences early on as a couple#so they've become saturated with us. to the core#and i always get so sentimental when thinking about them#so basically paweł and ryba are both art high school students#paweł joins ryba's class because he's transferred from homeschooling#ryba is overall very friendly and has a strong duty of helping people#when he saw there's a new person in their class they immediately wanted to befriend paweł#because hey. a NEW person in his class! he doesn't know anyone yet! it must be hard for him to find himself in a entirely new environment!#ryba really wants to show paweł that he won't be alone and that's why he offers himself as a friend#but paweł is. well. not interested to say it lightly#due to his past experiences with friendships (his childhood best friend of like 10 years started ingoring him out of he blue)#and he spent approximately 4 years homeschooling (so he just got used to being alone and learned to find comfort in that)#he's not really inclined to immediately trust a new person#but day after day of seeing ryba at school paweł gets used to their presence#and seeing this green haired dork makes him feel at ease#i knoooooow it's so silly and corny but isn't love like that??#original character#oc#drawing#digital art#oc couple#friends to lovers#queer#oh and also their shipname is rybaweł :3#my art#my artwork#digital drawing

i keep getting rejected from job applications and i have no idea what im doing wrong. i wish they would just tell you WHY you're getting rejected and ways to improve. its a guessing game that ends up making me feel even more worthless than i felt before
#like i have been nonstop applying for jobs for the past YEAR and ive gotten TWO INTERVIEWS#one of them i got kicked out of near immediately bc you werent allowed to be late to the job and i mentioned i take the bus (mistake i know)#and the other one i had to turn down bc they wanted to pay me $11/hr despite me already having the experience they needed#and i just reapplied to an old job i had a couple years ago that pays well but i got an instant rejection#not to mention all the other jobs ive been applying to that dont even TRY to contact me before rejecting me#and then my current job where ive been pretty much explicitly told i'm never ever going to get promoted and i keep getting my hours cut#for reasons beyond my comprehension like i dont know what im even doing wrong bc no one will TELL ME#JUST TELL ME WHAT IM DOING WRONG#WHY AM I BEING BAD AT LIFE. CAN YOU THROW ME A BONE PLEASE.#IM TIRED OF SURVIVING I WANT TO THRIVE#IVE BEEN SURVIVING MY WHOLE LIFE IM JUST EXHAUSTED I WANT TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT SOMETHING I DID FOR ONCE PLEASE#Sorry for venting im trying to hold back a breakdown and i have to leave for work in an hour and i just need to shout into the void about it#even applying for like medical based jobs hasnt worked out. you wont even let me be a RECEPTIONIST?#i feel trapped at my current job. even my coworkers have been telling me that ive had my position for wayyyy too long and im gonna be stuck#like tell me something i dont know!!!!!!!!!! tell me how to get a better job!!!!!!!!!!!!! bc im struggling in every aspect of my life!!!!!!#whoever cursed me its working i hope youre happy. the haters love to see it

it's literally not a good idea in any way shape or form but I want to get a second job in fast food
#it's not a good idea bc the wages are GARBAGE compared to retail#Macca's base rate for my age is less than half my sunday rate#and they don't get much beyond the base rate#whereas retail we have an incredible base rate AND more weekdays past 6pm and weekends (sat is the same as mon-fri 6pm#and sunday is significantly more)#and like yeah im not getting many shifts but if i were to ask for more I still wouldn't be able to work more than 4 hour shifts til july#bc my retail corporation is surprisingly ethical and extends the age limits by a lot#whereas my friend has a 7.5 half hour shift tomorrow AFTER school. on a week night 😁#which is actually horrifying and should nawwt be legal. thats school 9-3 (+20 min) then work 4-11:30 btw#like i should just wait til my birthday in july n ask for more shifts in retail but i want to try fast food#even though the pay is incredibly ridiculously bad (<10 AUD) (yes our adult minimum wage is a good ~23 but under 21 is a percentage of that#like the pay is so bad so i would earn the same or more doing wayy less hours than retail#but i kinda want to get the fast food experience bc it'll be more difficult to get hired as i age#bc i want to save up 20k for top surgery but at the rate im going it'll be difficult to have even thay#let alone savings after top surgery or money to get a car before#and as school gets more difficult it'll be harder to work more#so maybe i should just grind for a few months or til the end of the year then go back to retail exclusively?#and enjoy higher pay and some longer shifts?#but idkkk it's just such a dilemma bc i want more shifts than I'll get at retail but fast food pays so little#but i also really want the experience and to just try it out#im gonna. idk im gonna sit on it for a bit bc i want to get my legal name change sorted before i apply to any second jobs and that will#take a while#so i shall consider. draw up a timetable. write a pros and cons list#yes that sounds like a solid plan#whoop typo but im on mobile i meant 'wayy less hours IN retail'

it probably shouldn't be as comforting as it is, but it always helps me to hear "maybe the problem isn't that so-and-so doesn't like you. maybe he's just a bad friend."
#i can deal with that a lot better!#it also helps to remind myself that based on past experience#no matter how much fun i had with someone if they decide to drop me i will probably be better off in five years#i will probably not even think about them a whole lot#i've learned that's far from true for everybody but i'm a real 'live in the present' type of guy on the whole

Being vegetarian doesn't make you healthy. It does not save you from eating so much apple pie you become nauseous. Still that silly animal brain in there telling you to eat too much, i'm afraid!
#tbf: this past year i've really taken a critical eye to the holidays wr2 food. at least here.#like the foods are good. but recognizing i have an unhealthy relationship with food has me zooming out on wider practice. if u will#idk it's a tough conversation because i know poverty really fucked up how i eat. like i have specific formative searing memories#of like. having to eat food that i knew would make me sick. or not having food. or having a food so rarely that i'd binge it at five.#and it can be really tough to hold kindness for those experiences. and then look at holidays where overconsumption is the focus.#idk that video of roe harvesting really focked me up.#its a thing where i'm like...most people don't have the access or time or information. and life's so bleak that these points in the year.#these...cyclical treats or whatever. give people something to look forward to. but it's propped up by such a robustly monstrous system.#and if people won't fight to be kind to each other. if we're so beaten down that that's a far ask. how the hell#are we going to overhaul the global food system. how are we going to kill factory farming.#specifically i was thinking of autotrophs vs heterotrophs right. as the ultimate way to not harm.#and theres no way to do it and be human really so its about mitigation.#but. capitalism has placed demands on us and our energy that yeah. plant-based won't provide enough for many. and you're still killing.#and people get so defensive about culture through food. any criticism feels personal.#idk food is so wide and all encompassing and we've really let it feel like background because capitalism prizes convenience. it runs on it.

Doing this for a laugh and lore I guess (hey a title!)
Storm during the night.
Say what you like about us complaining about the weather. It can be utterly miserable here. And tonight was no exception. If anything it was rather expected for the winter. Cracks of thunder, flashes of lightning and howling winds. The usual for a midly bad storm. Unpleasant, but nothing I couldn't sleep through.
An almighty crack of thunder boomed right over the house with such might that the vibrations could be felt. Woken into a confused stupor, I hear another bang but from inside the house. Getting up to Investigate the source of the sound, I found the child Armarouge curled up on the floor. Clearly startled by the storm, he must have banged his head off the wall in a panic.
"You poor lad." I smiled softly, going over to comfort the scared child "it's ok. Just a bit of thunder. Nothing more. Everything is gonna be fine". Armarouge looked up as if wanting to believe me but flinched as soon as another crack of lightning was let loose.
Without a second thought, I gently wrapped my arms around him. This was the perfect opportunity to check if he hurt himself from the bang prior. Thankfully there seemed to be no injury.
Another flash and another flinch from the small Armarouge followed by a scared yelp escaping him. "Come on, up wi' ya lad." I groaned, helping him rise to his feet " lets get you in sitting room. We can watch a film and ignore the nasty lightning with some coco! How's that sound?" Before I could attempt to read his reply, I heard the cries of the young Ceruledge.
"Come on, get ya self in sitting room lad".
The young Armarouge did as asked, freezing occasionally as the storm howled and shook the trees outside. He found a spot on the sofa and settled down. A scared and raspy yelp passing his lips as lighting cracked right above the house. Pushing himself as far as he could deep into the corner of the sofa, hugging a pillow tightly. The scared young knight looked around the room. His gaze falling onto the Ceruledge who ran towards him, climbed up the sofa, and gave him a hug. He returned her kindness with a hug of his own.
"Here ya go you two, a nice warm blanket. Just gonna check on the others real quick then we can put a movie on. Shan't be long I promise" wrapping the pair up and giving Armarouge his coco. I gave the pair a quick pat before checking on the others in my care. This did seem to cheer the youthful knight up a little bit. Glancing at his cup of coco, Armarouge sheepishly took a sip from it, minding not to spill any on his adopted little sister.
Having checked on the others. I made my way back to the sitting room, not so pleasant phrases being uttered as yet more lightning cracked. "Awful rude of this storm scaring you ain't it." This got a nod of agreement from Ceruledge. "See? She thinks so too! Awful rude storm! How dare it be so mean" my ramblings got a soft giggle out of Armarouge while I searched for a film to put on. Once said film was found, I turned on the dvd player, sat down next to the two young knights and pressed play.
"Hang on a moment" getting up from my seat I went and drawn the curtains shut " nasty storm aint allowed to watch this movie with us" this got another soft chuckle from Armarouge and a smile from Ceruledge.
Hours had passed and there was finally signs of the storm subsiding. A soft groan came from Armarouge as he shifted in his sleep to get comfortable with Ceruledge peacefully oblivious to this in her own deep slumber. Careful not to wake them, I took a photo of the pair sleeping. I caught a glance of the time, and bags under my eyes.
" of course it would be morning now." A smile drew itself on my face at the sight of the two sleeping Pokemon. "Told ya everything was gonna be fine didn't I?".
#lord why did i choose to make this?#pokemon#ceruledge#armarouge#the smol knight#armarouge the smol#lore of the knights#my god the mistakes are going to be painfully real lol#my inexperience is on full display lmao#this is somewhat based off past experience#i remember I had lighting crack right above the house and felt the tremors through the house#then there was a massive storm years back with some 70mph gale force winds across the country. that was 2005 if i recall right

i think it’s easy to get into ouat fairly casually if you write regina off as a villain and don’t pay too much attention to her, and you probably won’t stick around past season two when they start ignoring all the supporting characters from season one in favor of their revolving door of marketable new disney properties. but if you start noticing lana parrilla’s acting choices and getting invested in regina’s redemption arc… god help you
#based on my own experience watching ouat in high school and not making it past season two and then watching it again as an adult and becomin#hyperfixated for a calendar year#this may not apply if you’re attracted to either rumplestiltskin or captain hook and one of them is a bad boy you think you could fix#but if you’re a lesbian you probably don’t care about that and you probably won’t care about any of them when they leave mulan and ruby in t#the dust in 2b

guys i want to talk about what actually makes you buy something these days?
is it social media? ads or influencer recommendations?
is it physical/interactive experiences/advertisements
do you trust recommendations more from people you actually know??
talk to me!
#i’m really curious because i feel like for the past year or so i’ve been super conscious about things that i buy#because i have e-fucking-nough#and i feel like a lot of our collective culture experiences are based on buying into a product/service/experience now#which is no way to live with how the cost of living is looking man

the hardest thing about writing my original story I was absolutely not prepared for is how much self control I have to exercise to stop myself from putting out warnings left and right that not everything my characters are saying is unbiased and should be taken at face value
#writing fics for years had prepared me for most problems and hardships that show up while posting an og story#but this one completely blindsided me#really shouldn't underestimate the power writing about known characters has tbh ????#in fic everyone knows when your character is being dumb based on past experiences or character flaws#while in og stuff you're Just Now setting down the bases and trying to get at something#your characters still need to fuck up enough times for the readers to go “wait maybe they're not being rational rn”#ur really sitting there like this is gonna be so great in about fifty more chapters...!!!#but meanwhile you just need to accept things will be read as they will be read#very hard!!!

Been feeling kinda shitty lately, but at least it inspired me enough to write a very self-indulgently angsty thing (mostly emotional whump, but with a bit of physical whump added for good measure), that if all goes well I'll post before the end of the week.
#it's really fucked up when you think about the fact that your character went through what would definitely count as torture as a teenager#and you realize that cause she's basically a self insert and her backstory in heavily based on your past#and your experiences were only slightly better#it means that you went through years of torture basically#and by you I mean myself

hhhhhhh well. I got my first day at my new(ish) job tomorrow
#It’s the same place I worked at last summer except I’ll be a lifeguard instead of a camp counselor this year bc reasons#I’m just glad that I’m no longer active at that place I worked at during the spring because that job lowkey sucked#At least compared to this one based on my experiences with it in the past and hopefully it’ll be ok this year as well

can you get burnout from doing nothing
#or am i going through a mental breakdown. based on the symptoms matching whatever the past week has had going on#unless it was caused by trying to socialise online#which i am so bad at and i guess seeing other people easily be all friends with each other kind of made my brain go 😨😱😖🤯#<- along with various other surrounding emojis#i'm stuck at uni rn bc my band has 2 gigs coming up + rehearsals so i have to be here. but there is nothing to do except Think#but yeah there was the alienated fandom feeling bc idk it always feels like everyone speaks to each other in dms and has all this like#lore with each other and i have no idea what's going on#and trying to actually interact is soooooooo exhausting and i always feel like i'm too slow or behind everyone else and yeah#and then camp weehawken began and i couldn't even deal with seeing everyone doing that and all knowing each other really well and idk#so i just left tumblr briefly. bc of everything. bc i'm irrational#basically the worst feeling is when you have friends in a fandom but then your hyperfixation starts to wear off and turns out they weren't#close friends they were fandom mutuals. btw this isn't about anyone in particular this has happened for most fandoms i've been in#it was more of a sudden realisation that's been creeping up on me for years. so to deal with the fading hyperfixation i just had to Go#and now i'm obsessed with threads. which has like no fandom. so at least the hyperfixation fadeout will be easier to deal with lol#but yeah it's that sort of feeling when you finish at some place and you make some friends but once you leave you never talk to them again#and knowing you didn't really leave a strong enough impact on them that they still wanna keep in contact with you#pretty much like that#at the same time though there's nothing to do atm so maybe i am just bored and overthinking#but still it's annoying to go through especially when it's happened for almost every experience in my life#also like I'd occasionally log back into tumblr to see what's going on but i'd see people liking posts on the swag archive and it's like#cool at least people like the archives :') but anyone could've done those#idk it's like i have to do something like that for people to actually care and as soon as i'm not contributing anything then i'm just#forgettable or something#i wanna come back to tumblr but idk if my brain is ready for that dsjkljf. i told myself i'd only come back when things feel stable#but also i'm impatient lol#again this isn't about anyone specific my brain just LOVES to malfunction it's actually its favourite pasttime <3#but either way if i seem really negative lately or just. weird. it's just my brain being its classic overdramatic self#i mean the thoughts are very real and based on vaguely true evidence but also my brain loves to exaggerate things to sabotage my life#i'm hitting tag limit so anyway. at least threads isn't happening rn so that's pretty good#ramble
