a lot of people are talking about scary things that are probably going to happen in the next few years, which is understandable, but some of the things people are talking about have already been happening in red states for years and have generally been ignored when people from here talk about it. i think its perfectly fine to be afraid but i just find that interesting and i think it's worth pointing out.
#seal.txt#current events#i am not going to pretend that i'm optimistic but i just want to mention that a lot of the things happening in red states are like.#not hypothetical.#they've just been largely ignored by people in high population/blue states for many years#and the advice from these people is always 'welll you shouldnt have voted for a republican! better move!' as if it is an individual failing#anyway i know it's hypocritical since i am planning to move somewhere blue very soon but I'm tired of hearing statements like that#especially during election cycles#people often dont choose where they grew up or landed#also sorry about the spongbob face but imagine this is my dead eyed expression

Now, if George was smart? He'd be working on finishing up Winds asap and coast on HOTD's downfall, cause a press run full of shade toward unfaithful adaptions would have book readers and locals alike tuned in
#if I was his publisher/agent I'd be on his ass about finishing always but especially right now#cause even locals are getting tired of the poor writing and comparing it to the GOT finale#and book readers have /been/ over HOTD and desperately theorizing that he's close to finishing#him being so obvious about calling out the writers is funny but I need him to sit down and get to writing#the only thing to be done at this point is release Winds and show them what good nuanced fantasy writing looks like#if he can write that much in a blog post to clarify his canon being disrespected then he can finish Winds#as always I'm blindly optimistic cause I want that book bad and I'm choosing to believe that he's made progress 馃馃従#we still have half a year for a 2024 announcement and 2025 release 馃榿

We are all going through a lot of emotions right now, myself included. I am sad, I am angry, I am disappointed, I am terrified, I am losing faith for a future in which I can live peacefully with those I love.
But I still have hope.
Marginalized people have been through hell and high water, we have for thousands of years, and yet we are still here. Those who seek to oppress us will do so until they die, and they will raise the next generation of oppressors. This has been true for all of human history.
But what is also true is that the oppressed peoples have always found a way to survive. No matter what they do to kill us and knock us down and suppress our voices, we survive. We live and thrive and fight back. We tell our stories to our children so that our lives will not be forgotten. We have not been erased yet, and we will certainly not be erased now.
It's okay to feel bad and to lose faith. You are human, it's natural to feel this way. But please do not give up all hope. We will live on.
#politics#us politics#kamala harris#tim walz#lgbt#lgbtq#disability#disabled#i know i'm being very optimistic in a time where optimism seems like a slap in the face#but i choose to have hope that i can live to see a future i want

I do not regret cold turkey quitting astrology twitter in the slightest but every so often I'll check an ephemeris and notice something that's like, "Uhhhhhh are y'all seeing this shit."
#checking the astrology podcast feed to find out if it's been discussed lmfao#based on twitter sleuthing i think the september forecast is what I'm looking for so I'll check it out tomorrow#cuz uh. that mars retrograde period. NOT SURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT ONE.#i am choosing to be optimistic. maybe it means that the orange bastard fucking dies.#this is the real curse of being decent at astrology but not having the interest or patience for doing personal readings#I can point to shit that's like 'uh' and frequently be right but i refuse to play wise man about it#this is also why I've largely stopped looking at birth charts of people i know#saw one too many things that was like 'uhhh. well it would be presumptuous as hell and probably overstepping to say something here.'#and then turned out to be right about it anyway but like. that doesn't give me the right to say shit. ANYWAY#as a Mars station baby i normally love a Mars retrograde but from the bottom of my heart i am tired.

look upon my beautiful new son. guy who has nothing wrong with him and hasn't been wistfully doodling his own funeral from the age of six with the air of a little girl dreaming of a wedding
#i'm still getting to grips with him but so far he is so optimistic and sunshiny with a hearty dash of Silliness. and necromancy#i had seen people talking about the mourn watch code switching but DAMN. guy who is the sunshine gf and the goth gf in one#oc: fabian ingellvar#veilguard#hes just about to have to choose between treviso and minrathous i'm sure this will have no impact on his psyche

i have so much unwritten ria angst but this is okiria in the hypothetical spinoff that exists in my beautiful mind palace. peace and love
#i've said before that ria actively chooses her optimistic mindset but i want her to kind of crack tbh.#i really love gintama bc it is a story about traumatized people and how they can just be normal every day people#they can be silly and goofy but that doesn't mean they aren't traumatized too#and the main reason i haven't written anything officially is a) it feels so indulgent and b) i haven't decided EXACTLY what makes her break#but tbh all the mizu5 posting on twitter has me thinking about the silly happy characters that mask their sadness just full on shattering#and i'm like damn. i gotta let ria have that moment#鈿旓笍 show your fangs#馃悎鈥嶁瑳 nice to meet you earthling

I may be laying on the floor staring into the void, merely vibrating as my brain rots about Veilguard, Rook, the companions, and Solas.
...this is the perfect excuse to replay my canon route.
Apologies in advance: I'm about to make my brainrot replay a problem for everyone and everything in my vicinity.
#dragon age#dragon age veilguard#dav#those are the two tags i'll use for everything related to veilguard btw#in case anyone following me wants to avoid all spoilers#but literally i'm vibrating like you present me with all these companions and tell me they're all romanceable#and you expect me to be normal i'm sorry did you see harding's beautiful freckles?? davrin the charming warden???#you know i can't resist a charming grey warden y'all if there's a warden i'm probably gonna smash...... excluding blackwall he doesn't coun#if you don't drink the forbidden koolaid to become a grey warden then no thank you blackwall#and neve's voice in the gameplay reveal??? a necromancer with a skeleton assistant?? i'm sorry i can't#i don't know who will be compatible with my rook but right now i'm like how?? am i??? supposed to choose???#also i'm not a solasmancer so i don't have a foot in that race but he and my lavellan were bros#they were buddies and listen solas okay ash just wants to *talk* okay with words and possibly her foot#i'm excited but i'm trying to remain calm... cautiously optimistic if you will#but i'm replaying my canon route. i have to. i have no other choice now.#look forward to that sksksks#welcome back rose tabris. edgar hawke. ashalle lavellan.#oh boy can't wait to spend hours creating my rook and restarting the beginning several times until i create the character that FEELS right#i did that with each of the games sksksk i played the first hour of dai like 3-4 times before i settled on ash#i made a few hawkes before ed became my boy#and oh boy i played both the mage and dwarven noble origins and made it only a few hours in before I stopped... then the city elf origin#i played it and i knew i KNEW it would be the one#i'll need to find that with this game too oh boy

but anyways as with all major (to me) events i have a habit of retrospecting on all the stuff I've gone through since the last time it rolled around. like I've had this feeling hanging over me my whole life that i was sure to die soon and that the years were just gonna blow by but it's actually crazy how much my outlook has changed and how many things have happened to me over the last four years. for example last election I still had all of my organs
#(you can laugh)#well whatever happens im gonna choose to be optimistic#i can't remember most of my life. it feels like I've only recently begun collecting memories#so I'm gonna make the most of whatever comes

trick or treat!!! kieran is all dressed up like a wizard to ask morgana to play with him
Oh how handsome!! Morgana doesn鈥檛 enjoy clothing outside of her harness but she would love to play!
#appropriatelystupid#Ask a Rocket#at least I'm assuming she would#I've actually no idea how she is with other cats but I'm choosing to be optimistic#he's a handsome little man in his wizard costume!!!#perhaps next year we'll make a witch of Morgana

doctor gave me a prescription for a muscle relaxer to help with chronic post-hysterectomy pain and. i wanna cry holy shit, i took the first dose last night and it helped so much. i got a full 10 hrs of uninterrupted deep sleep and woke up soft and wiggly and relaxed instead of gasping in pain. i wanna get up and do YOGA.
#ctxt#chronic blogging#meatsuit renno#turns out when you can't unclench your pelvic & abdominal muscles for 8 months it causes some problems#i feel amazing thank you cyclobenzaprine. dare i say. my beloved#life has been an unrelenting onslaught of The Horrors lately but one by one maybe things will start to calm down#my god i'm so clear headed and optimistic when i'm not forced to choose between NSAID brain fog and debilitating pain

I cannot wait to submit my last paper so I finally go back to and finish this damn fanfic that was supposed to be like 3000 words and take me like 5 days to write 馃ゴ
#i've been taking a break because i'm too busy with school work and getting socially drunk#but yeah i really miss it lol#i started this thing in february genuinely believing that i was gonna be done in less than a week#now we're almost in may and this thing is 18 pages long and nowhere near done so help me god#and if i do choose to share it on ao3 it's unlikely to get more than like 5 comments and i'm being optimistic there#but i still absolutely refuse to not finish it#both as a matter of pride and because finishing it kind feels like breaking a curse at this point#plus i'll be honest i really do like what i've actually written up to now so there's that#tho it will need a fuckton of editing but that's ok#also i'm using this emoji for everything tonight. it's a dear friend of mine and he's invited on all my posts

thank you everyone for a fun season :__) this team may put us through the wringer every other night and choose the most emotionally devastating ways to burn out but it was still special to experience 7 months of stars hockey with you all. future is bright et cetera
#i will reflect more later and get out the brunt of my frustrations and hopes and other miscellaneous off-season thoughts later but#this season was still meaningful and there were a lot of positives to take away from it#consciously choosing to be mostly optimistic right now but. you know#i'm always too anxious to properly lb but i loved reading everyone's posts love you all etc. <3

Me, losing my absolute mind over the fairies and the greater implications of it all and the intricacies I swear to fucking god are there I swear to fucking GOD there's way more to them than meets the eye and I'm going to fucking get all the alts I fucking can so I can study The Lore and I'll fucking get to the fucking bottom of it all --
.............. you know what. A nap does sound nice.
#fire emblem#feh#i think maybe peony is just like that.#man.... i'm like. split between desperately wanting them to do more with her character ESP this new development#and like. almost respecting it. actually.#like knee jerk reaction of crying bad writing/god forbid women get anything ever aside#EXCLUSIVELY considering this in-universe. peony knows exactly what's she's about#she knows exactly what she wants and has an unwavering optimism one track mind about it#LIKE....... i kinda want to put her in the same category as corrin.#someone who actively CHOOSES kindness and love and hope ESP in the face of The Horrors#which can come off as naive or gullible or childish but like. corrin isn't stupid for it.#they have hope and they were sheltered. they hold onto hope even after learning how harsh#and complicated things can be outside of their tower. i almost want to say the same can be said for peony.#she's always been hopeful. she's always been optimistic. and maybe absolutely in the beginning#it was childish naivety (esp on the account of. being a child LMFAO)#but i think what i'm thinking here is now she's finally gotten a chance to grow a little....#remember and reconcile w her past... reconnect with her sister....#and in it all she chooses hope. also not to mention her desire to help others above all else#which IS WHAT MADE HER PEONY IN THE FIRST PLACE鈥硷笍鈥硷笍鈥硷笍 IF/WHEN SHE SWAPPED W SHARENA鈥硷笍鈥硷笍鈥硷笍鈥硷笍鈥硷笍鈥硷笍鈥硷笍#peony i am NOT overthinking it. i suffer from divine visions you see. I WILL CONTINUE TO BE OBSESSED W YOU#(also both of these are her 40 convo i just had to go back to grab the overthinking it dialogue)#(and i want everyone to see. my one orb of incredible pain. i did have to spark for her. 馃)#fe peony
