Who has two thumbs, a pretty bad few days for her social anxiety and less than 24 hours to get ready for an 8-hour long seminar on early medieval tablet weaving? =D

(I'm fine, this is fine, everything is going to be FINE.)

#social anxiety #mental health #tablet weaving #hobbies are our friends #creative pursuits are beneficial #I've met the very chill seminar leader already #i have no idea what food to pack or what clothes to wear but I'll figure it out #it's in an open air museum with only rural buildings until the early medieval period #weather for tomorrow is warm and rainy

Non-traumagenics stop acting oppressed for being a system/disabled when you are not disabled because you're not a system challenge

#sick of them acting like victims of anything stfu you are literally mocking an entire community of disabled people #by pretending to be disabled and walking all over us and acting like it's our fault that you treat us like shit when you don't belong here #cuz ur not a fucking system you are not disabled you are all ableist pieces of shit and there's nothing wrong with real systems not wanting #to deal with you or your bullshit #leave us the fuck alone #“you want us to unexist” bitch NOBODY is asking you or forcing you to fake being a system EXCEPT FOR YOU #you don't have to pretend to be a system but real systems cannot just stop being a system because it's a real disability and not a game for #you disrespectful idiots to play make believe and invent OCs and imaginary friends because you're bored #get a fucking hobby #endos not for you #endos do not interact #endos fuck off #endos dni #anti endo

I'm still here just not really active because I don't have a lot of time currently and with being just tired and exhausted after work... my art WIPs etc have to kinda take a backseat at the moment, I'm sorry.

There are so many things planned this year already and changes happened at my workplace (but in a good way, I'm learning about CGI/Blender :D!). I'm excited for most of them, hopeful that everything will work out and trying to keep my anxiety under control (No overthinking!), but it will also mean that I won't have as much time for my hobbies as I would like to have, but I'll try my best~...

#just a heads up #that I won't be able to do so much art stuff #but maybe i just have too many hobbies...#and too many things planned i want to try out #like learning a instrument (still not sure about that)#and continue to learn welsh and scottish gaelic #and I wanna do some more of my wire-dolls #and also stitching #ha... and still sooo many ideas for art stuff...#but beside a big holiday in May #I will also have a big move this year #My friend and I want to leave the big city and move somewhere outside where it's green and where we can make longer walks with our dog #and just enjoy the quiet outside #personal stuff

obsessed w the tags on ur last reblog

Omgg, thank you haha, it was a quality post so I just had to appreciate it in full force 😂❤️

Can‘t believe someone would actually enjoy my yapping :,D

#guys help is it time for a rebranding?? am I just gonna post about f1 now??#I still can’t believe this has all started because bestie and I were watching Ted Lasso (because I’ve been obsessed with that show for a #while now too) and I paused the episode to talk about how I really like the way Jamie interacts with kids (I’m sorry people being good with #and nice to kids is one of my weaknesses I work with kids now and have been invested in treating kids well forever)#so me saying that apparently reminded her of max and she showed me a video of him with p and yeah it was very effective in making me like #him and then we left the episode on pause and she told me a lot about f1 and max specifically cause I was interested now lmao (funny thing #is that she also got roped into it by our other friends I swear it’s speeding lmao #she also compared him to Jamie from Ted lasso (if you know you know) and showed me some heart wrenching Taylor swift edits (i haven’t #emotionally recovered yet) and yeah that’s how I started consuming way too much f1 content on YouTube and got into this whole mess lmao #oh yeah our friends also made me and another friend make a Tier list for all the drivers based on vibes alone (cause I only knew a bit about #max at that time and the other one knew nothing really) which was very funny too #especially looking back at it (we did some of them so dirty lmao 😂)#I’ve also come to the conclusion that tumblr is still one of the least annoying platforms to engage with other people (still)#YouTube is full of hate comments about drivers and stuff it’s so annoying actually #not to mention Twitter but I don’t go there and probably never will 😂#I personally don’t enjoy fics and scenarios and shipping of real people cause it makes me a bit uncomfy (not judging people who do #you do you as long as it doesn’t negatively affect anyone #but yeah I’d much rather just scroll by those here than have to look away from all the mindless hate and which driver is better discussions #everywhere else like I’m not one to engage with stuff like that but it does upset me to some #degree so yeah tumblr making memes and being rather positive about their drivers (most of what I’ve seen here of course there are gonna be #annoying people everywhere) is much more tolerable and a lot more enjoyable for me #whoops this post got away from me again oh dear #I’ve had the idea for a meme stuck in my head for days now: Max verstappen but make it if you don’t love me at my *swearing on team radio #giving spicy replies and attitude to the media maxplaining and complaining going for risky overtakes* you don’t deserve me at my *precious #interactions with p talking about his cats being a goofball with other drivers and especially danny defending other drivers driving #beautifully in the rain* it’s a package deal you can’t just pick and choose and personally I don’t even get why people complain about some #of the other stuff I appreciate someone who’s passionate and honest and genuinely kind where it matters 🤷🏻‍♀️#I think I’ve seen someone else say that but the more people complain about and criticize max the more I feel the need to defend him #god forbid women have hobbies for real (can’t believe I’ve yapped so much I can’t put more tags 💀)#also shoutout to Oscar Piastri and Danny Ric (I was so happy Oscar won even tho McLaren where being very silly in a not so funny way)

havin the weirdest crisis of my life

#this is like. did related so im gonna sound completely uh #what’s the word. odd and shit for a sec okay? okay #so I’ve been here. hi im cheri silver yknow me for about 20 years total but jay used to front for years when we were in middle school #im not the. original host I guess but I’ve been around since #we were in the early single digits and never left #so im the host right? I existed to go thru the Trauma #but. it’s been my life for so long. my parents don’t know Her #they’ve only known me #but like. we’re finally starting to let go of that trauma #errr not let go but make peace with it. and we’ve been holding onto it for so long. I’ve been holding on to it for so long #but.. who am I without it? like yes that’s my trauma but also. is my purpose over?? is that why we haven’t been able to draw?#I’ve been the host for 20 years this is my life #my friends my gf my life my hobbies it’s mine not anyone else’s #I let others take the wheel when I can’t (or they forcibly do it for me) and jays been gone for like 3 years he only came back because I’ve #been being traumatized everyday recently. but like. will I have to go too??#reintergration is not really our goal. never has been but like #if we do. will I be here or will She come back? we’ve had false alarms before but it’s mostly been decided that it’s my front my life #maybe im just triggered all the time and that’s why I feel extra out of it #less myself #New Traumas are happening to us everyday #but yeah. I dont talk abt this aspect of my life much but it’s so scary to think about #I’ll talk to Chevy when they get off of work tomorrow abt it if it’s still like. freaking me out #I am me. we are a bunch of niggas but I am me.#did niggas when the identity disorder makes them dissociate smh #😫

Honestly I'd love to know what kind of comments you'd be adding to the fic for your mother. Very curious :0 (also I'm terrible at knowing what information an outsider would and wouldn't have and/or would need)

Sure, I'll add a few. (Redacted since my google account is my full name.) Also remember that y'all also got the benefit of my author's notes, but I'm not giving my mom the AO3 copy because over my dead body does she look at that account. I'm giving her a document copy. So a lot of the comments will likely be details you guys already got in either a post or author's note.

^^^ This one is written specifically because my mom, like me, has been going to Big Bend National Park since she was young. A member of my family has gone there nearly every single year since....1965? lol. So it's a fun tidbit for her to know I was thinking of it while writing this. (There will be a similar note when the Pinnacles trail comes up, because I named Pinnacles after a trail in Big Bend.)

me trying to explain Scar's general dramatic flair (i also have a comment somewhere explaining that Scar is dyslexic and that is why he occasionally mispronounces stuff in the fic, and why he says the scientific documents the rangers let him borrow were difficult to get through)

nicknames

My mother and I are both Gary the cat stans. Trust me she knows Exactly what I am picturing here.

^^ a few other comments on the story, ranging from "background character details" to "research details" to "totally unecessary personal opinions"

it's also fun for little self-aware asides:

She already knows a significant amount of the plot, including the ending, because I talked to her about it. That is also why she gets to read it, because the moment I opened my mouth about writing it I basically had to. I don't always talk about my writing with her but I really wanted to talk about this one. So! By talking about it I just made the decision for myself that I'd allow her to read it. She is....very excited haha. And I am too? I mean I think I am going to send it to her and then just immediately go back to my apartment so I don't have to be in the same house as her while she's reading it LOL. The embarassment of people who know you too closely reading your things etc etc. But I'm very proud of this story and I don't think she realizes how good of a writer I can be. She knows I'm good at it (like, she's read my essays and newspaper stories) but not how I handle fiction.

#quara asks #hc_firewatch_au #i considered making ANOTHER copy for general friends/family/other audience as well #since i know at least one friend asked to read it back in december #i wonder if she still remembers she wanted to read it. i may not remind her LOL #i'm picky about real life people seeing my work. it's so much more intensely personal than showing them my other creative stuff #it's also just a deeply unhinged hobby to write fanfiction in general #i'm not saying that to denigrate fanfiction. yall KNOW i love it deeply.#but you gotta admit there's a level of derangedness to showing Normal People(tm) something like this #hi yes i spent a large portion of my last year writing deeply researched & angsty fiction about minecraft blorbos. here go cry while u read #anyway the reason it'd be a whole new annotated copy and not just the same as my mom's is that i've got a specific relationship with my mom #that will influence how all these annotations are written #we're besties btw.#i'm not even worried about killing her at all on our upcoming 16 day trip together!#i feel like that reads sarcastic it wasnt meant to be

I love giving people stupidly long contact names. Yes this is [name] [where i know them from] [other group of friends we're both in] [what i associate them with]

#i have a friend added as ona explorium agrupa volei or some permutation of these and no intention to make it shorter #or a friend added as roger matcad el que programa (roger [our uni career] ''the guy who programs'')#<- pov its literally a programming career shhh #and a friend added as guillem fismat amic candela vives zombie (guillem [his career] candelas friend [where he went] zombie)#etc etc etc #adding infinitely many descriptors is my fave hobby

downloaded voisona and chis-a yesterday and have been messing with it today and uhhh i love her voice its so pretty. she reminds me of rosu, actually. it's a little hard to tune since cevio seems sorta limited in parameters and flat in overall tone but you can finagle it well enough. still learning idk there's really not a whole lot of public guides and tips for voisona yet and i dont know if there will ever be

#in other news: dying over both audacity and lmms lacking either automation or full support for certain plugins #we're gonna have to envelope tool our way out of this one boys #i dont rly have friends who r into the hobby so ive been basically scrubbing thru outdated forum posts all evening #“get a better daw” errmmm no thank you the professional-er ones are scary and im a massive dumbass #spooks vsynth #spooksposting

my biggest pro tip for white fans is to become incredibly obsessed with a nonwhite character in a predominantly white media, you will soon gain incredible amounts of empathy for the time and energy waste that comes with being nonwhite on the internet

#this isn't serious im just thinking #anyway imagine all the cool things ur friends of color could be doing with their lives #if they didn't have to stop and think about race any time they wanted to engage in a hobby #whitness even privileges your time as worth more #cause you don't have to stop and explain shit for randos #this thought was sparked cause occasionally i will go into the duke tag and some new person will be asking you to explain your guys deal #like they refuse to go and do the work to just read some comics #instead they ask you to take time our of your life so that they don't have to engage with a character of color #thats so fucking infuriating #anyway yeah #just thinking about this now ig #bread thoughts #fandom wank

hey siri how do I stop feeling gutwrenchingly anxious in the guilt way for using the treatment methods available to me to not be in constant misery

#starlight personal #it’s very bizarre to have my life going objectively well - work is good! personal life is good! family is good!#and still be very mentally ill and feel like I’m faking it even though I know damn well I ain’t scream-sobbing every couple of days alone in #my apartment for attention because What Attention??? my cat????? Bug is never moved by my tears she cares only for string and wires #like I know that cannabis has been immensely helpful to getting me to fucking sleep on a regular schedule and that’s integral to -#my functioning and I know that having emergency klonopin in the event of a total breakout is helpful #and I KNOW that my PMDD and depression and anxiety are very treatment resistant and ketamine is the only thing that’s provided any -#meaningful relief and logically I know I’m not abusing any of these #I’m getting a promotion at work I still go out to see friends regularly I have hobbies I have a girlfriend (??? Wild right)#like clearly these things are working because i’m better now than i was for years leading up to now #SO LIKE. DON’T STOP USING THE THINGS THAT HELP. LOGICALLY THIS MEANS THESE ARE GOOD FOR ME #I always roll my eyes when ppl go off their meds b/c they’re feeling better like babes that’s what the meds are meant to do #if you stop taking them you stop feeling better - but it’s REALLY HARD to get past the cultural conditioning #the feeling that ‘but I can white knuckle my way through this I can force myself to live without’ like WHY BITCH #WE DON’T HAVE TO LIVE WITHOUT #AND ALSO. WE’RE STILL GENERALLY MISERABLE BRO. EVEN WITH OUR LIFE IN A BETTER PLACE!!!#DO YOU NOT THINK THIS MEANS THAT WE SHOULD USE WHAT WE KNOW WORKS TO BE LESS MISERABLE #basically it’s really hard to not feel like a loser when the only things that help are ‘fun’ drugs like weed and psychedelics #I feel like I’m being a hedonistic reprobate which 1) is actually kinda cool now that I wrote it out #2) @ myself were not a good enough liar-faker that every medical professional we see wouldn’t pick up on that if that was our motivation #time to remind myself that it’s arrogant to think I could trick many trained professionals without actively trying tbh #that generally helps me get out of my self-pitying ‘ohhhhh I’m awful and lazy and bad and abusing substances’ spiral #to be very mentally ill on main it is weirdly reassuring to be like ‘just as my fanon interpretation of obi wan kinda hates himself but is -#practical enough to take care of himself even when it makes him cringe and want to scratch his face off; I too am aware that self-care is -#radical and punk and In Fact Necessary to beat back the dark and live in the light with hope so yes even though I doubt and -#feel squiggly and guilty about it I’m not going to NOT prioritize my health and well-being b/c self-hatred and self-denial benefits no one’#thank you inner obi wan i love projecting my issues onto you mwah mwah mwah smooches for my favorite boy!!!!!#and smooches for me I’m going to be proud of myself gosh darn it even if I have to fake it at first #see I wouldn’t be able to be nice to myself like this if I hadn’t been doing ketamine treatment for a year IT WORKS BRO KEEP IT UP #SCHEDULE THE DAMN APPOINTMENT AND CLEAN YOUR BONG

My day started by being woken by Leon knocking over the garbage bin, then I was further disturbed by a phone call from the doctor's office when I specifically asked not to be called in the morning, then I had to cancel my plans for the day due to the weather, then I came on Tumblr and someone got nitpicky about how I phrased something regarding Dungeon Meshi

I am in such a mood to fight someone rn I gotta restrain myself

Maybe I should go do some dishes

#and i was JUST telling a friend that we gotta resist starting internet fights sometimes for our own mental health #but #grrrrrrr me angy #me wanna fight errybody #gimme a punching bag #gimme a nail clipper and pinch up your skin gimme something to cut #that is an elvira kurt reference i am not gonna do that fr #can i just bitch that. someone who calls themself a fagdykeboygirl got offended that i used the phrase 'race-swapped'#when i was referring to a character.. whose race was changed... swapped even...#you got funny credentials for what's offensive my dude/tte #for the record i do not find any of the above offensive it just seems funny to me #to be ok with one but not the other #race-swapping can be done poorly! so can genderbending!#but i literally was just talking about a dwarf who became a half-foot #like. please #please get a hobby #mod post #angry mod #bitch mode #i really should go do some dishes lollll

still thinking abt the time I cut this guy out of my life and he sent me a dejected email about all the things he was going to miss about me and one of them was "I'll miss your art" like. girl what.

#vinny types #idk i love sharing my creative interests with my friends but like #so much of the stuff he said just made it so obvious that he didn't like me he just liked the stuff I did for him #I LOVE when my artist friends share their art or my writer friends share their writing #but if they decided to stop doing that hobby or stop sharing it with me it wouldn't impact our relationship???#like most ppl I'm friends with when I think of why I like them their cool art/writing isn't the first thing I think of #i think part of why it bothers me is that most other ppl i'm friends with our creative sharing is a two-way street #whereas with him it wasn't at all #I think that's what bugs me about it #he felt entitled to my creativity bc he didn't feel secure in his own #idk maybe i'm overthinking it

Anytime I think about the state of the internet overall (be it the advertisement hellscape or the cesspool that is Twitter and tiktok) & get stressed, I remind myself that the internet isn't actually that big a deal and there are plenty of things in my life outside of it.

Why should I care what some tiktok teen would think of me? I go on bike rides in the woods, crochet blankets, and write in my free time. What weight does the judgement of the youth hold on me if I am simply vibing? None, I say.

#speculation nation #so glad ive never gotten a tiktok. and i never will.#for someone who grew up on the internet i am honestly pretty against being chronically online.#yea ok im online a lot between talking with friends and engaging with my interests #but thats still 100% on my own terms. doing stuff i enjoy with people i enjoy.#no drama no bullshit just us and our blorbos. etc etc.#AND i have plenty of hobbies outside of the internet too. and that's important.#im almost 27 years old i have no patience for what tiktok teens might say about things.#the state of the internet cant catch me when im sitting out in the middle of the woods and enjoying the warm breeze ☺️
