#feeling much better and calmer !!!

[ao3screenshotss]

sometimes commenting feels like watching the outro of an anime i need to do it to get my feelings in order and let them all out and process everything that happened before i feel emotionally stable enough to bookmark it

Belated munday post but the little one is settling in nicely! He's taken to watching me when he thinks I'm not looking at him, horrible camera quality as the angle is wonky but the tank looks better/is more sizable than it appears from the side!

Unfortunately I forgot that flash was enabled and he slipped back into his cool hide after. Sorry for startling you, sweetheart. 😔

I might actually open my inbox for the first time in [undetermined specific amount of months] there’s over 500 unread asks in there ;-; I’m rly touched so many people have been reaching out to me even when I haven’t been here

I love him and he loves me and we love each other and it’s all so beautiful!!

I no longer feel like/fear I might kill myself on accident in a couple months bc i might have a weak moment. I don't know when this ended, but it apparently did. I don't constantly tell myself I just need to survive this week, this day, it'll all be fine as long as I survive today. I guess at the end it was true, because I feel fine now

since i began to talk i couldnt make friends for the life of me. i was told i was too intense. okay then, it takes me years and it literally killed my will to live, but i dial it down.

still can't make connections. "you look uniterested, open up some more".

it's okay, it took me my entire developing years to craft that personality, but it's okay, i can learn to be more of an extrovert, if it's worth it.

it doesnt get better. huh. "well of course, have you ever considered you look desperate?"

oh fuck you im so tired of trying. nothing works im just not built for this. im so fucking tired. really. no human connection is worth this bullshit. im so worn out by mirroring other people's behavior i dont even know who i am god im so tired

my official take on the moon/qibli/winter love triangle is that winterwatcher is a much grander, epic romance, and moonbli is a much more level, sweet-and-simple romance, but ultimately i think it was a better decision to have the latter be the canon romance in a series primarily marketed towards children and teens than fall into the "bad boy" romance trope, and instead romanticize the earnest, genuine, sweet relationship

obviously there's way more nuance to this involving internalized/unconscious bias, and winter doesn't even REALLY fit into the "bad boy" archetype, but purely based on genre conventions, the gruff, rude, brooding, tortured hero VERY often falls into that category, and at the ages of 7-14 most of us were very LIKELY to be romanticizing that archetype, which again is very often treated as interchangeable with the "abusive bad boy" trope, and while i might have a few gripes with the writing of moonbli and i ENJOY winterwatcher a whole lot, i DO appreciate the more gentle, "safe" romance being treated as the ideal, rather than the tense and angst-filled nature of the alternative

I'm gonna be real rn and say that if you're autistic and identify heavily with your "strong sense of justice" but refuse to acknowledge that the sense of justice in question is based on your probably limited worldview, you do not have a good sense of justice. Your understanding of justice is not innately in tune with the world. This comment was made on a (neurodivergent!!) black woman's post about how racists who hate juneteenth can die.

I will say, one thing I miss having Twitter for is it was a lot easier to make connections with people and make friends compared to here.

a friend of mine has never attended a funeral, not even for family, she says she thinks it would be too much to bear and her mom always told her she didn't have to go if she didn't want to. my uncle also does this he didn't take his children to our grandma's funeral nor to our uncle's, "because it's too heavy". of course there isn't a "right" way to deal with death and i shouldn't judge but i do judge. idk. i think of how humans have been having funerary rituals for 300 000 years... before we were homo sapiens we were burying our dead... how can it be something to avoid?

Four good nights in a row, much to my surprise. I've been doing my best to hang in there. Hopefully I'm able to keep this streak up and keep doing alright

The horrors persist, but then so does the love 🫶

I know you said it's a sensation and your feelings are 100% valid, but I also wished to say that I truly think that your writing has something therapeutic because not going to lie, since April I have had a bit of anxiety-stricken situation with work and other stuff and going to your blog and reading your writing always calmed down, as it was a huge comfort to me. and I am not going to lie, I haven't noticed any changes in the quality.

like you are always serving us prime time aki content (like I am doubting starting to simp for gale, as an halsin simp, so I can enjoy more of your writing ugh).

it's totally alright to feel this way, but I just wished to share my silly thoughts.

I am off have a lovely day!

I appreciate you 🥹 I'm really glad that my writing could help you, I always feel such a sense of pride and joy to hear that someone enjoyed something I wrote... it's what makes me want to keep writing in the first place!!

thank you for your kind words 🤲💞 I promise not to give up on my writing no matter what
