#for the bad days

[strawberryfaced]

hi guys I feel a bit nervous and anxious about being alive tonight but that’s ok because everything is temporary and I will eat bread tomorrow and giggle and maybe hug someone

[zetaaa]

So it rains today, I'm starved, and I just want them to kiss.

don’t really have the wherewithal to articulate myself well rn but for context, i’ve spent most of the past 3 days bedridden with a chronic illness flare up. everything has felt overwhelming & insurmountable & meaningless. getting up to get a glass of water can take a solid half hour of summoning my strength. i haven’t been physically able to wash my hair in a full week

and it might seem trivial in comparison, but this lil podfic adventure this evening has lifted my spirits so much. things don’t feel meaningless anymore. so much of writing fanfic is sitting alone in your bedroom & pouring love into fandom for YEARS & every once in a while you get a sign that, hey, fandom loves you back

these sorts of interactions are such an effective weapon against the darkness that is “i am powerless. nothing i do matters. i spend too much time ill to contribute anything of meaning. there’s no point to any of this.” it’s compelling evidence that, to paraphrase the mountain goats, the things you do for love are in fact going to come back to you one by one

🐨 Hello hello! So, I turn 18 tomorrow and that is a WEIRD feeling. I suppose, with the time difference, it’s actually already my birthday where you are. I know that from today to tomorrow I’m not actually a whole year older, just a day older, because that’s how time works, but it’s still just A Lot to realize that in 3 hours, I’ll be an adult. At least I’ll be able to vote! That’s a perk.

I finished SoC and am almost done with CK. Both just amazing books. I adore them. The writing is so PRETTY! “He needed to tell her…what? That she was lovely, and brave, and better than anything he deserved? That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn’t pull himself into some semblance of a man for her. That without meaning to, he’d begun to lean on her, to look for her, to need her around. He needed to thank her for his new hat.” Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh such a good romance, Kanej is. And Inej’s chapters a beautiful too. The one where she’s climbing up the incinerator always gets me.

Have you watched Shadow and Bone? They’ve changed a few too many things for my taste, but the cast is amazing! They all portray their characters super well. My friend and I watched it the other day while making bracelets for the Taylor Swift concert we’re going to in June.

Also, you are not failing at being a lawyer. You are learning to be one, and you are trying to become a good one, and that’s more than a hell of a lot of other people are doing. You have all the intelligence and tenacity and real, genuine GOODNESS inside of you already. You’ll pick up the actual law stuff quickly enough :)

Happy Birthday!! I hope your day and year is full of light, love and a whole lot more adventures <3

The switch from seventeen to eighteen is a lot though. Here it's voting, buying alcohol, for some people giving blood (I'm too anemic and also something else for that though) and just generally being classed as an adult. Like you suddenly form the 18-25 group. You age out of a lot fo child's services. WEIRD.

I must reread at some point- but only once I've read the books I've not yet read because there are so many. I think my mum and sister getting me a Kindle was simultaneously the best and worst thing they ever did. Babel was on a deal a while back so I brought it and once I've read all the hard copy books I want to read I'm going to start it!! But yes, Kanej is everything.

I've started. I'm on episode six of season one, but the problem is that I remember nothing. Also I only care about the Crows. I tried reading Shadow and Bone years ago and I just couldn't get into it. The school librarian thought I'd enjoy Six of Crows though. She was very much right :) I do like watching the edits and the interviews though! Oh I'm so excited to hear about the concert!! What do the bracelets look like?

I'm going to a candlelit concert for my birthday! It's my present to myself. I also keep missing out the l in candle it's very random...

That's very sweet of you to say. I think I'll show my friends. They'll appreciate it just as much as I do <3

I love ending e-mails with "thank you in advance". Like what are you going to now? Not do the thing I already thanked you for? Bring dishonor on yourself like that? No? I didn't think so. Check mate you have been played by the master of manipulation.

[strawberryfaced]

hey dude. wait. stop here. look. listen. feel. it passed ! that thing!! that you thought would kill you !! u r living and alive and you survived it !! take a breath . u made it:)

the worst part of AO3 is 'You have already left kudos here. :)' like??? i want :) to :) leave :) kudos :) for :) every :) fuc**** :) chapter :).

wtf is even this :) emoji? what an passive-aggressive way to say 'go away'. i wanted to leave kudos under your new chapter, but since i can't, i came here to say i really love it! your writing is beautiful. sending you many kudos 👍👍👍 how's that, ao3, huh? 👀

Oh my god i know what you mean. I'm always slamming the button like - FUCKING - RUDE - LEMME - GIVE - MORE - DAMN, THING!

Anyway, I feel your pain.

On another note, were you trying to make me cry? did you know these types of asks make my blubber like a baby? This is so damn sweet, I'm hugging you through my screen. I'll be so real with you, sometimes with SOS I feel like I'm whispering into the void with it - as in not many are reading it, which is fine, in hindsight I'd still write it even if no one was reading it, but to hear that people are liking it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy. Art is a means of connection, and I feel that strong human connection in my chest when I realize that people are appreciating it. So that's my long winded way of telling you why this meant alot to me.

Also, I cackled. This ask wasn't only sweet, it was funny to. Feel free to come yap at me, or be funny, in my ask box anytime.

I’m not exaggerating when I say this post changed my life. Seeing this as a terrified self hating 17 year old was like finding a fresh water lake in the middle of the Sahara.

[misc-fandoms-ballad]

I. I need. I need the art of “hang on I need a minute” but I can’t fIND IT so this. This instead

sometimes i think about the golden record and i want to cry
