#but I'm always inadequate?

Roy obviously knows that Jamie admires/respects/looks up to him but I like to think there's some part of him that wants Jamie to think he's like. Cool. On some level he's just a middle aged man who peaked in his 20s and craves validation from his cool gen Z coworker. I'm not like a regular coach I'm a Cool coach
#oc#(face straightens immediately)#i think roy was probably bullied at least some at the academy (because he was younger and also super talented) and sometimes with Jamie#who is so effortlessly cool and personable and just has this gravitational pull that will make any room he enters orbit around him#he feels like. idk. inadequate#even when roy was the coolest man in the country there was always this part of him that still felt like it was a joke#this inner autistic 13 year old who never fit in and could never figure out why#like his whole relationship with Keeley he can't believe such a beautiful woman would want to be with him because girls used to ask him out#as a joke or whatever. so he keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop because why would SHE like HIM.#and then when he finds out she's been talking about how clingy he is behind his back he's like I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. of course.#and it's the same thing with jamie. why would Jamie Tartt (Beautiful Young Successful Footballer Slash Sex Symbol). want to be with him.#he feels like a closeted outcast with a helpless crush on a beautiful popular classmate#is this insane.#roy kent#jamie tartt

Dreadful news. I just dropped my phone and now the screen won't turn on.
Horrible. Disastrous. Catastrophic. I do all of my good sketches on my phone. I do half of my writing on my phone (I read all of my ao3 on my phone!)
Oh jeez, we're really in for it now, Raccooninnit plushie :(((
#I've had the poor thing for years#it's always tanked my poor clumsy hands before now with nary a scratch#and yet on this fateful night#I fumbled yet again- only this time#right as I was about to go to bed#my dearest friend has inevitably succumbed to my inadequate dexterity- may she rest in peace o7#I've had this phone for longer than I've been writing fics and was not planning to get a new one for a while#I'm going to go stare at a wall for several hours while I lament my clumsy fingers#Or maybe I'll just go back to writing instead#Might as well be productive in my grieving amirite?#my posting this is a lapse in judgement that I am sure I will severely reconsider come morning-#but in the moment I do not care as I have no one but my clueless cat and dog to inform of this great tragedy.#Sorry if you actually read all of these tags- I admit they're a bit dramatic

The fact that this page made me nearly tear up speaks of the level of character writing of Berserk
Farnese went from sadistically enjoying making people under herself suffer to feel a shred of power in her life, to panicking and rushing to protect the most vulnerable person that could be entrusted in her care, not for herself but because Casca needs to be cared for. And you get to see the evolution, what makes her question herself and the root of her beliefs, the guilt and sense of worthlessness that she carries with her and desperately wants to overcome.
What a wonderful character :)
#berserk#farnese de vandimion#how do you write meta about berserk when it has been dissected to its atomic structure for the past 30 years#i feel woefully inadequate#i just wanted to share this moment i felt#admittedly i always related to farnese#not really the sadistic part but the part where she realizes she's a burden not good for anything#which makes her desire to improve herself all the more touching#i also find interesting that her character development goes from being aggressive and stubborn to being meeker#on the surface of course#because farnese used to be aggressive to cover up her lack of spine with authority figures#while her quieter demeanor coincides with her becoming braver#there is probably a discussion about femininity to be had here but i'm not qualified enough to do that

Sometimes I feel very sad that I didn’t just focus on one creative skill. I look at my art some days and go I wish I’d spent all my time making only that, because that way it would look better and I’d do more and it wouldn’t matter if I couldn’t write very well because my art would be amazing and I’d be able to make the stuff I really want to and maybe even get a job related to it and I wouldn’t feel like so much time was wasted. And often times it really does feel like you’re wasting time and everything is telling you to just pick something to focus on so it can mean something and you can never seem to pick one of anything.
And then other days I feel like an absolute GOD. Anyone else able to write your own fic and then draw art for it just because you can? Can you make an edit/amv after writing a silly little analysis post on the show/character that is so perfectly on beat and fits the lyrics and with transitions so slapping you get chills while watching? Can you write a short silly ditty on the guitar about how you’re feeling using the eight chords know and belt it out only a little bit off key then do a choppy little animation of your sona singing it?
I may not be the most skilled at all of the above, and it can be a little lonely to be a one man band who doesn’t play half as well as a lot of people out there, but when your power goes out or your wifi dies or you have a day off, everyone else is busy and you’re alone...
you play the best gosh dang music in existence
#knox rambles#feeling some kinda way lately o7#these kinda vibes come back every once in a while#just gotta remind myself that ten year old me would go insane over the fact I can do what i can do#even if I'm not the best out there I am sure the best me out there#and that's pretty cool#i may only know one strum pattern on guitar and half a dozen chords at best#i may not be very good with punctuation and grammar while writing and I reuse words too much#I may do my art all leaning a little to the left too much and proportioned weirdly#I may export my amv's wrong so they're not on beat or forget good audio that would have made it REALLY great#I may write analysis's that are a little biased and look back on them and cringe a bit#I may only be able to animate the simpliest and shortest things and then go months even years at a time without animating#I may struggle to do animatics for what feels like no reason even if i want to so badly#but I can do all that stuff#I can write i can read and I can draw I can play guitar a bit i can sing I can make animatics animations amv's#and wow that's pretty incredible if you ask me#rambling rambling zero thoughts head empty YEET HGSDFLKJSDF#creative insecurities#they always sneak up on you a bit hglksjdfsdf#pretty safe to say I wouldn't be a creative if I didn't feel inadequate every person to ever create usually feels some kinda way ghsdflk;jsd#lays down#woo#hoping I can get back into the swing of being creative#things been pretty rough at home but I miss making stuff#ANYWAY HOPE Y'ALLS HAVING A FIRE DAY

now that I feel marginally better I want to take some ibuprofen, draw nian and maybe consider making a ko-fi. hmmm
#paypal is blocked in the hellscape I'm at so I have to find a way to circumvent that#I'm currently unemployed and anything would help given the incredible state of the local currency#like my rent is like a hundred bucks#if I made like $20 a month that's 1/5ths my rent. good lord#I've always been painfully inadequate and inconsistent in the mystifying ways of monetizing myself though#if you or your family are looking for a no-work-experience computer engineer#and are currently located in preferably europe but really anywhere that's not here. hmu.#delete later tag

it's so fun when the people who took everything from you claim to be the real victims. like, y'all want to dump a years-long friendship in a dumpster fire just cause you're in a romantic relationship and that's the only thing that matters to you, go fucking ahead. but don't pretend to be the victim when you were the one who destroyed it.
you don't get to take literally everything from me and claim that you were the real victim when the only thing you didn't take was the skin off my bones.
#sunbun speaks#i keep having nightmares/memories of the 3-ish people who literally left me with nothing but the clothes on my back#and kept asking for more because it wasn't enough#or the fact that every single one of them basically turned into whoever their partner wanted them to be and would ditch their own parents#if their partner told them they didn't like them anymore#using me as a scapegoat whenever they had negative feelings and accuse me of being the source instead of a voice of reason#or just straight up getting pissed at me when i wasn't going to play their toxic game#and by the end of it all i had nothing: no clothes or any of my stuff no money nowhere to go and no friends#they destroyed my life while i was barely a blip in theirs#people who grew up with wealthy parents are fucking pricks#because yeah that's another thing they all had in common other than being codependent af: they all grew up with upper-middle class parents#they just took and took and took and tossed me aside#cause btw it's really hard to get back a lifetimes worth of stuff in only a few years with no money#i still remember everything they took from me and not just material possessions#and in the end they wanted me to apologize to them for being inadequate in filling my role as emotional punching bag#only for none of them to feel any remorse and get mad at me for implying they did anything that i didn't deserve#even looking at my life now i only have my partner and my kids#as much as i try i can't fix the fact that I'm autistic which means i will always struggle with human interaction#so it's not like it's easy to make friends#especially not friends who don't religiously devote themselves at the alter of toxic monogamy and view anyone else as 'extra' and disposable#in a matter of three years those three people took everything from me and despite it being 6 years later i am STILL recovering what i lost#how can you destroy someone's life who never did anything to you and still consider yourself the victim

absolutely nothing headier and more of a relief than when i can help our intimidating senior grad student with a method
#i taught her how to use ponceau stain! i gave her a giant bottle of tbst so she doesn't have to make any herself!#i'm useful!!!!!#she knows much more than me about everything and i am always disappointing her by forgetting to do something#so this is a real win for me.#box opener#doctor worm#i'm also smug today because my boss clearly still believes my lab jobs are much more unpleasant for me than they are#permitting me to receive credit for Being A Team Player‚ and also Modesty (when i truthfully profess that i am content to keep doing them)#god. every moment that i get to believe that i am not doing history's most inadequate job and irritating everyone...#just incredible.

Man I can't wait until I can recover alone for a while
#I was alone in my apartment today and put together a standing clotheshanger shoerack combo#and it was actually so nice to do stuff and NOT receive verbal feedback I didn't ask for#I actually HATE when I start to do things wrong and immediately there's an audible no no no#it makes me feel like I Have to be on top of things and do them right immediately so everyone can be silent to me about it#trying to navigate life without triggering an unskippable cutscene as it were#if I do it on my own I will find out I'm going about it the wrong way soon enough#and I'll correct it#no nitpicking needed just using my time and brain to find a solution#it makes me feel so much better about myself#I'm already starting to see why I've always felt so incapable and inadequate. I can tell I really need this#I'm really curious what else I can do now that I'm allowed to figure it out in silence#more than ever reaffirmed that auditory is my quickest sense to wear me out/overstimulate#which is why reveiving verbal feedback I have to interpret makes me want to fly into a rage sometimes#because I NEVER get enough time to figure it out. they see me not change my course of action immediately and they take it out of my hands#it feels so. crowded and like nothing is in my control#give me time. give me space to breathe. let me make a mistake and understand firsthand why it's a mistake#please please please stop narrating everything to me. please. can we be quiet for a while.#you can sit with me but please don't tell me anything.#bien rambles

this week rating for the groups I gave tours to :
spanish kids asked questions, didn't talk when I was talking, overall acted interested and impressed, and the teacher told me at some point the reason they were agitated was bc they were having a heated debate about something I just said, A++
german kids were really nice and polite, proper and orderly, asked some questions, didn't talk while I talked, didn't get their phones out A+
british kids asked SOME questions but didn't laugh to my jokes, still seemed very interested and impressed so they get an A
swedish kids did not laugh at my jokes, did not ask any questions, did not say a single word, I felt so alone and abandonned. They came alive in the gift shop, I KNOW they have it in them to be active and talk. B-
#babbles blabbles#no note for the poor poor french/spanish group#that got fucked over by our commercials I feel so sorry for them#KIDS NEVER LAUGH AT MY JOKES AND IT'S MAKING ME FEEL INADEQUATE ADULTS ALWAYS LAUGH AT MY JOKES I KNOW I'M FUNNY

my mom trying to get me to say that i am smart is so funny to me
#ma'am i feel like the most inadequate person to have gotten the highest grade in my last exam. u're not gonna get me to say im smart#i think my biggest toxic trait is that no matter how much i know and learn i will never feel like i'm smart enough#actually ☝️🤓 everytime someone says they think i'm smart i think they're lying lol#idk if it's impostor syndrome or what but i rlly dont see myself as smart n i feel like everything i know is one google search away lmao#anyways!!!#i think it has to do a lot with the fact that i was never good in the maths field and i was always made feel stupid for not getting maths#when i was younger. mostly my dad. like every knowledge i had that wasnt maths was useless and everytime he gave me a fact i already knew#(which i always let him know) he got mad lol he didn't like it when i already knew stuff#so i kinda feel like everyone is lying to me when they say im smart bcs i just dont feel like i am#how is everyone saturdar afternoon!!!#jo.txt#also i dont think its a toxic trait but idk how to put it lol

I have a lot of big complicated feelings and no words
#i have no mouth and I must scream#thank gods I'm somewhere safe#I'm so dysregulated#There's so much to process but I dont even know what needs processing#frozen in place even as I pace this garage#anxious anxious always anxious and no relief#only distance#gods i appreciate thc+cbd SO much but FUCK they are wholly inadequate to meet the fullness of my needs#gods#how can my therapist think I'm ready to graduate when this is my existence#ahhhhhhhhhhghhg#micro.vent#micro.txt

(I felt like I had to call your brother because something told me he wasn't doing alright, and I was right, and I don't have this feeling about you but I figured I'd call you anyway.
Sweet and hurtful at the same time, thanks Mam'. I'll play the part, I won't worry you.)
#but i've not been sleeping well tha'k you for not asking#but i'm worried about you about dad about the people i love too much and the ones i can't seem to love enough thank you for not asking#but i'm feeling inadequate more often than i'd like thank you for not asking#but I'm tired of feeling like being the second child means i'm the second thought thank you for not asking#but i'm frustrated of feeling this way because you love me so much and i know so thank you for not asking#i know you're not doing it on purpose i know you've just always been more attuned to him i just wish it wasn't so obvious#and i worry that he feels that way about dad being closer to me#i think it shows less but maybe it's just because i'm on the good side of it?#anyway#i'll be fine i just need to sleep i'm not doing really well on so little sleep#it's easier for the sad to catch me when i'm tired#parenthèse

i'm so glad that my family has kinda cleared the list of potential "formal events'' like weddings before i came out tbh because like. i don't want to wear a suit lol
#dgmw i didn't massively enjoy having to wear a dress or anything#though i hated how it was expected of me and how it felt like the bar was always too high for me to reach#aka 'other' girls at the events always had better outfits better hair better make-up because. they knew how to do that shit glfjd#so i felt inadequate regardless Anyway my point is. i really don't like suits ???#so stuffy. some bourgeois shit. not my style At All.#anyway... next person to die in my family sorry m8 i'm showing up to the funeral in hawaiian shirt+shorts

Me: here guys, I bought you some pellets My Canary: oh yum, egg food! -grabs yellow pellet- My Canary: -spits it out and wipes beak furiously- BETRAYAL
#they get pellets b/c I'm tired of all the seed hulls#and the pellets were on sale#they're weaning their babies and its soooo much easier to get babies to eat pellets than switching adults#I'm hoping the babies will learned to only eat pellets#you can always add seeds back in later if wanted/needed#in other news the finches took to the pellets immediately#but they've already been eating my button quails' crumbles so it wasn't a big leap#I find it funny how if you feed seeds you MUST have a canary only seed and a finch only seed#but if you feed pellets all the nutritional difference immediately disappear and its OK to feed both canaries and finches the same pellets#I still plan to feed seeds in addition to the pellets they just need more nutrition while breeding and the seed mixes seem inadequate ime
