#hugely disappointed with myself for that one

[lilislegacy]

how are you feeling about twottg

i’ve been getting a LOT of these asks from people, and i understand now that people take my opinions seriously. i’m starting to realize that i influence people’s thoughts (which scares me because that is not my goal.) so honestly? i don’t think i should talk about it.

not because it was bad, but because i do not feel good LOL. i had two huge exams, 2 days in a row, and im sleep deprived and feel sick. so i sat down and read it in one sitting, LOVED a lot of it, but also was really disappointed with some things? i felt incomplete when it ended. it felt rushed, it felt crammed, annabeth’s character felt off, etc. i was very underwhelmed.

but what i’m saying is that i don’t know if it’s because the book failed to meet my expectations or if it’s because im an emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted college student. maybe both? i don’t know. so is there any way you could all be patient with me? i’m just not feeling good. so if i post anything negative about the book over the next few days (im gonna try not to), take it with a grain of salt. okay? because let’s be honest, if i couldn’t put the book down and i read it for 4.5 straight hours, could it have really been that bad? (no.) im just in a weird mental place. college is hard and i have a hard major. your girl is STRESSED and that book was all i’ve been looking forward to. like… why was i expecting it to emotionally cure me? because naturally, since it’s you know, a book, it did not.

wrath of the triple goddess was great. i laughed and smiled a lot, and i really enjoyed reading it. i just dont think im in a place to objectively analyze it right now, and i dont want to spread negativity. so give me a few days to feel like myself again, and then to read the book again, and then i promise i will give you all my thoughts. is that alright? are you guys okay with that?

Thank you thank you thank you for cosplaying with a mask on, caring is a beautiful look 🥹

As an immunocompromised person it means the world for me to see you and I would feel less self-conscious going out there in a costume and a face mask if I weren't the only one in the room wearing one!

Éowyn with a mask on is my very definition of a hero 🤩😷

I feel like masking is the lowest bar rn and yet 😅

I’m glad my doing it can make a small impact though. I was disappointed (though not surprised) to see that my group at the con was one of only a handful of folks masking, but I can’t control everyone else, only look out for myself and those closest to me. I just can’t imagine going to a crowded convention where con crud was ALREADY a thing, and now we’re in another huge covid wave, and so few people seem to care.

I’ve seen firsthand how covid can wreck your life. You do not want long covid, no matter how much it may seem like just a bad cold.

Anyway, getting off my soap box now! I will continue to mask and encourage folks to do the same.

:( patheticposting

nearly literally reduced to tears rn by how overwhelmingly it feels like nobody cares what I make or like or think about and how meaningless any of my creativity and love and effort is

Okay. I know I have a lot of cooking mutuals, what do I need to do to make cooking enjoyable??? I am so fucking tired of eating canned soup and kraft mac n cheese and "concoction" (ground beef with whatever else I have that needs eaten and every spice I own). I know people say "if you don't like veggies try different ways of cooking them!" here the thing though, I hate veggie prep. So even changing how I cook them, everything else about veggies is an awful experience for me so I never want to do it. I know people talk about "15 minute meals!" and "one pan recipes!", but so far those have all been lies. People talk about experimenting and trying new things, but I straight up don't know how to do that. People say to listen to podcasts or audiobooks while prepping, but either I focus on the prep and hear none of the story or I focus on the story and struggle with the prep. I am not fast with prep, so meals that require prepping multiple things at once or prepping something while something else is cooking never fails to stress me out to a wild degree. I don't know how I'm supposed to keep everything from burning and keep things stirred and chop up everything and get the next ingredients out and clean as I work all at the same time. I do not enjoy picking out recipes or buying groceries (genuinely hate more than any other chore besides laundry), so meal prep is next to impossible for me. I forget to thaw meat nearly every time I want to cook something and so end up putting it off for days. I can never seem to get my roasted veggies to actually roast, somehow they just steam themselves in the oven. I do not want or like cooking gadgets, so I am doing everything with the very basic supplies. I am cooking for one person so leftovers are a constant issue (I have eaten so much left over food that I find genuinely sickening because I didn't want to waste it). And then I have to do this every day forever till I die. How do I make myself like this??? I am so fucking tired of eating gross food.

Gonna say something potentially controversial:

I think Heartcatch suffers from the Up phenomenon in that people remember it as an excellent, if not flawless masterpiece when it actually has One (1) excellent, if not flawless moment in the beginning and is otherwise nothing special.

My cousin got married last week and her maid of honor and best friend since jr high gave the speech and straight up said that my cousin was her soul mate… girl I had to keep from giggling. I didn’t stay long enough to see if they played good luck babe but I played it and kinda stared off into the distance later that night at home. I know zero details of their relationship outside of when I saw them hanging out in high school a decade ago but like now I’m curious

lmaoooooo exactly!!!! like do i actually think the bride and her maid of honor are gay for each other? nah, but idk...... they probably should be. sorority girls are always saying wild shit about each other when one of them marries some guy and you can bet your ass the dykes in the crowd are like 👀

II DIDN’T GET ACCWPTED TO THE ZINE I APPLIED FOR NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

what bothers me the most about all that's being said by media about hamas and israel is that no one ever (at least that's majority of what I've seen in poland) mentions palestine? I'm literally not shocked so many people support israel if they're not being given context!!!!! "people need to educate themselves" yes but if they hear "terrorists from hamas killed thousands in israel" why should they assume israel is in the wrong? I think media are failing here big time now and a lot of people would shift their focus to the real victims of this situation

i thought of my family. i ✨shrivelled up inside✨

[zemnarihah]

much to think about.

the bonus features for the lives are a short post live interview where they answer a question from their guest artists and moroha, the group that gave us kaigen, asked the bat seiyuu how did they handle the night bat lost

sakakihara-san watched the livestream live and was right there with us lol hands clasped together, begging for that meter to stop higher than mtr’s and the disappointment was immense when it didn’t and wanted to babble about it in their group line chat lmao

takeuchi-san himself thought it was a bummer they didn’t make it to the finals but didn’t feel too strongly about their loss until the night posse was crowned champions. it was then he felt like he actually wanted to win this and was frustrated they were stuck watching lol

hayama-san, too, felt disappointed but, equally so, he also thought that this was a lot of fun lmao!!! from there, he’d been thinking of everything he needs to improve/change to elevate performances and portrayals and it gets him fired up so much so he’s just ready for the next one lmao

i actually had a part 6 of ymt in the works right before good omens came out and ruined my brain and i think about finishing it sometimes. like hurray public domain let me go back to sherlock holmes! but uhhh. ymt was very unpopular and got like. 30 kudos or something on my most recent fic, and that's like. so discouraging. so i write fic for a big ship where i get much more engagement, because i write to connect with people and writing stuff no one cares about makes me feel like i'm not connecting.

the whole "it's okay to be behind your peers in some ways, take your time, not everyone functions the same way, you'll get your own life in order at the right time" thing is completely valid and i do still wholeheartedly believe in it, but when certain circumstances punish you for not having accomplished the same milestones as others your age already that belief is really put to the test.....
