I drew this explanation post for why I was completely inactive for a week, but then felt too anxious and drained to post it, and subsequently disappeared for a second week

Two main blog drawings and one side blog wip later, I remembered I made this and still think it's funny, so even though I stopped being dead (TM) I still wanted to share lol

Brief series of events at work

^^^old, but I'm still taking it easy so posts on both this blog and my alt will continue to be scattered for now

Cronus has a wide, short box arrive on a nearby surface, wrapped in pearlescent-yellow paper with a pink bow on top and a note attached.

"ii know iit's been a whiile and we don't talk much, but you're cute and aiitar liikes you- so ii hope you liike these!!

-cookiie 💗"

Inside is a circular piece of stained glass art bearing a violet Aquarius symbol in its center, surrounded by clear and pink shards arranged in no particular pattern. It sits on top of a pink-and-purple blanket long enough to cover someone over 6ft tall.

You've been preoccupied, suffice to say; preoccupied with trying to stay alive (or... un-alive? You don't know the right terminology and you don't give a shit either, honestly) and then preoccupied with grieving the loss of someone who doesn't deserve it.

You'd put the gift in your sylladex when it arrived, figured you'd get around to it when you felt up to the task, and now you're safe in this bubble with friends around you and the good days outnumber the bad ones, so you guess that's now.

You retrieve it from your dex, twirl the box in your hands looking for the note you're sure it came with. It falls into your lap and you give it a cursory glance and then feel like a real piece of shit for not getting around to this sooner. For just letting it sit in your sylladex, abandoned for over a fucking month.

You pout, undo the ribbon. You pull out the glass art, treat it like it's fragile and precious, like it's priceless, and it fucking is, at least to you. It's been a long time since you've owned anything this pretty.

You don't know what to do with it; you're afraid of breaking it. You put it in your sylladex for safe-keeping and promise yourself not to forget about it.

You peek into the box again, run your hand across the blanket; soft, sateen, if you had to guess. It's light under your fingers and smooth to the touch and it's another bit of luxury you've grown unaccustomed to. You love it and you don't think you deserve it at all.

You pick up the note, stew for a second in your own guilt.

... you could at least reach out. You can at least thank him, send him some food, if he's interested.

You can at least do that.

its just occurred to me the sheer amount of time ive spent listening to jrwi

so im on episode 64, and just estimating that each episode was like 1 1/2 long (which is severly underestimating) that would be 96 hours of content but im listening on on 1.2x speed which brings it closer to 80 but like i said thats severely undershooting so ive listened to over 80 hours in about 3 weeks

rhats fucking insane oh my god

…. So I did a lil math— adding up just the hours and minutes of episodes 1-64 (no seconds, no rounding up, so this is 100% definitely to some extent lower than in reality) is 90 hours and 37 minutes. with the 1.2 speed, that places your pace at approx 75 hours and 30 minutes— aka a bit over 3 straight days.

3 weeks is only 504 hours. 75.5 hours is 14.9% of 504 hours. and that’s not ‘hours awake’, that’s hours in general.

assuming 8 hours of sleep each night, that gives you 336 hours awake. 22.4% of which was watching riptide. OVER 1/5th of your conscious existence for the past 3 weeks has been riptide.

(and that’s all technically a lowball since i completely disregarded seconds which would slowly add up to more minutes of watchtime BFJDND)

tldr. are you Okay.

told my mom earlier that i’ve been intentionally filling up my time socially because i’m scared of having alone time bc the past few times i’ve given myself alone time i end up constantly thinking about being single and my whole shitty break up and i get really sad and angry to the point where i don’t want to leave my couch to eat or piss and she was like “that was a month ago now you’ll be fine you need to rest” and like objectively i know she’s right but also. i was also right.

[homunculus-argument]

A fantasy/soft sci-fi story that features a race of creatures who are apparently - for no really sensible reason - all male. And upon encountering humans for the first time, one of them discovers that women exist. And this is an epiphany, and the most splendid news in the entire world as he knows it. Holy shit, women. It takes him some time before he stops making sure that every human he encounters is aware that women exist, it would be a pity if they wouldn't. They do, all of them do, and some of the ones that he addresses are women, who apparently come in a far wider range of appearances than he had previously been aware of. This, too, is amazing.

Neglecting whatever duties he was supposed to be performing while among humans, he focuses mainly on learning more about women. This leads to learning about human romantic relationships, which leads to discovering polyamorous relationships, and the LGBT community. All of which are splendid discoveries.

Eventually, after having not heard anything of their duty-neglecting emissary for months, the people receive one letter that basically goes "I am ceasing my mission and relinquishing my position in order to make a home here. Do not try to seek me, I am currently living in a household of seven women including myself, and I will fight you if you try to remove me. Farewell."

And these people, relieved to finally get a confirmation that they can get someone else on the task, just look at this letter like "what the fuck is a woman."
