#but it's still A Lot

[read-alert]

Every month I go "Wow, I really bit off more than I can chew with this TBR; I'll make a smaller one next month," and every month I proceed to make a way too big TBR

apologies in advance if i seem off the upcoming days, personal life is being an utter mess and it's just completely emotionally overwhelming. the plumbing at my house broke and it's gonna be a whole process to get it repaired and i'll basically be having to stay at a hotel for the next couple days. I'll try my best to make art and silly memes and all my usual content in the upcoming days but please understand if my energy is simply not there.

Maybe deciding to get a degree was a bad idea

Oh good I think my Chamomile fixation is nearing it's end. Or— at least— I'm starting to pay attention to my other, *checks list*, 7 or so Sonic ocs.

I've had this headcanon rattling around in my head for a while

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"

I love that I share my house with one of the most efficient apex predators millions of years of evolution could produce. I love that two of nature’s most prolific machines met and were like “hmmm. We should lay around and do nothing together”. Now we’re both fat and happy and full of meat. The hedonism of it all

'wah wah everywhere is falling to the right wing the whole world is doomed' literally like 6 months ago we were talking about how there was a trend in countries getting rid of their right wing governments. poland at the end of last year, france voted in a unified centre left/left alliance, even the UK finally got rid of the tories after 15 years (right wing splitting be damned, it still happened). outside of europe, bangladesh removed a dictator in like 2 seconds, india may have reelected their Evil Guy but on a DISTINCTLY reduced majority, theres been queer rights successes in thailand, with gay marriage set to be legal by 2025, and thereve been positive court cases on it in japan. and this is just stuff i vaguely remember hearing about. im sure theres more if you care to look for anything aside from more reasons to make yourself miserable

the US has a distinct effect on everyone, so this won't be fun for anyone (least of all its population. sorry guys), and there ARE a lot of people sliding into right wing extremism, but presenting this like its an unchallenged worldwide phenomenon is inaccurate, its damagingly bleak, and all it does is encourage despair and apathy. you DO have political power, and you shouldnt forget that just because of bad election results and the media's desperation to make you lose hope

alright, I’m annoyed with the class that I’m taking. it’s about writing novels, and I thought it would have cool stuff about balancing your narrative and developing themes etc, but instead she spent the first class talking about how every book fits into the Hero’s Journey (the monomyth template). and I was somewhat of a contrarian, and said “can you give us examples of books that don’t fit into this template?” and she said “no. because all books fit.”

but I dunno man, I just finished reading this Korean book where the plot is just the character having a string of hookups and reflecting on them without changing in any way. I don’t know if it’s possible to contort that into the Hero’s Journey.

Anyways

I can't believe you just went and compiled all the instances of Siete getting CBT'd in Grand Blues

I can't believe you would doubt my dedication like that.

Also I legitimately don't have anything better to do right now. Luckily I have just enough brain power to skim through Grand Blues and do this important research.
