911, a confession
Let me start by saying that I don't really know what I'm doing here, so bear with me. If I actually go through with posting this, and you find yourself tagged and wondering who I am and why, or even if you happen upon it in the tags, I hope you take a minute to read this.
You don't know me, but you've been my community for a while now. I've checked your blogs daily for years, I've read your posts and loved your art and sent you countless anonymous asks to pick your brains- never hate though, because I'm not a Freak.
What I am, however, is a lonely lesbian with depression and (newly diagnosed) OCD, who has always needed some hyperfixation media/fandom to find life bearable. For some ~fun context, I was Raised by the glee fandom, I will die on the hill that watching queer as folk when I was 14 and discovering its fans 10+ years after airing made me who I am, I've got the most bizarrely timed stint in the 1D fandom under my belt, and I find nothing in the world more interesting and also affirming than Queer Reading (verb) media- to the extent that I earned an English degree and wrote a thesis specifically about it.
I haven't posted on here in 1.5 years, since I fell out of my previous fandom (apologies to anyone from said fandom who still happens to follow me and is seeing this, feel free to move along.) But I've been on this app every day since, because of 911.
(starting the read more here to spare you- again especially if you are tagged, I know you're probably feeling miserable rn but I do hope the entirety of this love letter reaches you)
I started "watching" mid season 5- by which I mean I was in a deep depressive state after disconnecting with previous media hyperfixation and, when I happened upon 911 trending while in need of distraction, I quickly fell down a rabbit hole. Tale as old as time, tumblr dot com convinces you that you need to tune into *insert media here* bc its fun and there are gay people! I caught myself up through all the big blogs and by the time May Day was airing I felt like I had a decent grasp on all the lore, all the fandom drama, all the places the writers were "definitely, so brilliantly" going to be taking the show that we had to look forward to, all without ever having actually seen an episode of the show (before you boo me, yes I've watched it by now, even season 1)
But I think it is important, and also a little messed up, that I fell in love with 911 through YOU, through the fans. Obviously watching the show initially through the lens of fan reactions first and not whats actually happening on screen can have some... interesting results. We've heard it all before, with the people who started watching specifically for Buddie around season 4/5 because they saw The Will and by the time they caught themselves up and watched the end of season 6 they wanted their refunds.
Here is where I want to make a clarification- the reason I got so interested, why I started coming back every day to check in on tags and certain favorite blogs I didn't even follow bc I was denying the want to become fully Involved, was because I fell in love with Evan Buckley. I won't lie, it was Buddie that caught my attention first- of course, thats what everyone here was talking about- and as much as I quickly started discover the value of the show outside of them (Henren my absolute Beloveds!!!!! Captain Dad Bobby Nash you are so special to ME. Chimney man of all time i can keep going) none of it was enough initially to bite the bullet and catch up on 5 seasons worth of a show I also knew would have elements I WASNT interested in (Copaganda and Taylor Kelly I am looking at you.)
But then I started really getting into fan's readings of Buck *insert footage of me learning the Buck Begins of it all for the first time* as a character separate from Eddie (as much as people were capable of anyway, and I will say some of yall continue to be absolutely atrocious at it) and I knew I was done for. Buck, this character so full of goodness, and his need to be Found but to also Find his own family and purpose and sense of self, for whom the show's thesis statement concerns the act of working to Make the kind of Love you want to have in this world, even if you were raised without a blueprint for it- I'm sorry but what else were me and my gay ass queer reading inclined hyperfixated brain to do other than take Evan Buckley into the folds and never let him go?
I love Buck. I was convinced by the time the s5 finale was airing before I had actually watched the show that Buck had to be bi. Even if they never did a thing with it you couldn't convince me otherwise and I was also confident that Oliver was portraying him with a similar mindset. I never wavered in that interpretation, even when the utter disappointment of the s6 finale and the failure to do anything truly meaningful character development wise through the lightning strike-Natalia speed run hit, and certainly not as I got fully caught up actually watching the show outside of tumblr live reactions during episode airings. I'll admit I was pretty ready to Check Out after the end of season 6, to the point where I hardly checked in on fandom at all going into 7 until the rumblings of possible canon Bi Buck reached me and I doubled back like "hold on, for real this time?" But when I say Check Out, I mean I was ready to walk away from the hyperfixation with a joint lack of satisfaction with canon & firm conviction that Buck was queer.
Things with Eddie are a lil different- and I want to try and keep this bit brief bc this is ultimately a post about Buck and Bucktommy and I have no interest in unsettling those of you who may have a queer reading connection to Eddie as real as the one I feel for Buck, but unfortunately this conversation cannot exist separately from the Eddie/Buddie of it all- I personally don't think Eddie is queer. I don't really think I ever did, even when I was in the thick of it with falling for Buddie. I know me saying this would cause certain audience to pelt me with accusations of fetishizing Buck or treating Eddie as nothing more than a vehicle for Queer Buck via Buddie- false! I actually think Eddie is an incredibly fascinating character, a deeply compelling representation of grief and fatherhood and masculinity, and also a hilariously weird lil bitch guy. I just don't feel like- especially having removed fanon glasses while actually starting to watch the show, and taking the time to acknowledge that the things about Buddie that appealed to me on a romantic level (this is NOT about their friendship which i stand by being beautiful and important) all boiled down elements I was reading within and onto BUCK specifically, not Eddie. Perhaps an impossible concept for some, the idea that Bi Buck could feel so real and apparent to me primarily divorced from the idea that Eddie had to be queer as well, but I won't bore you with my explanations for it, though I suspect the people tagged and still reading by this point know exactly what I am talking about.
All of this potentially obnoxious prologue to say, I've spent the last however many months falling in love with canon Bi Buck *insert footage of me speed running back into my daily fandom involvement/blog check ins the moment I knew Buck kissed a man*, with Bucktommy, and with Bucktommy fans.
For a long while there I had resigned myself to an odd, though perhaps not as unique as I thought, reality of loving and fully believing in Queer Buck, not necessarily feeling the same about Eddie or Buddie, but also in full agreement with many that already 6 seasons in with literally nothing else having remotely worked, Buddie would be the only satisfying conclusion for Buck's love story. This is again not exactly how I felt about Eddie- but a big part of that for me is that I don't think Eddie's primarily story in 911 is a love story. He's the vessel for telling other important, beautiful stories about fatherhood and forgiveness and that is OKAY bc not every characters story is a love story!!! Evan Buckley's is though (Despite some very weird and confusing things mr stark has just said about his character that actively contradict what hes previously said and what audiences have been looking at and for this entire time, but I digress)
But then! By whatever happy accident we want to call it 911 had Tommy Kinard fall back into its lap as the solution to what felt like the impossible: They found the ONE way they could introduce a non Eddie Diaz love interest for Buck that COULD be satisfying for Bucks story. Someone with connections to the 118 and the shows history and potential for further development within main storylines as his job directly pertains to their plots. Someone with such compelling connections for interweaving these two characters that it got us- including the showrunner- talking about the Red String of Fate. That it got some of the beloved tumblr pals I had been watching for years, who NEVER would have believed they'd ever root for a Buck endgame that wasnt Buddie doing exactly that, and with joy, love, and conviction. Again I'll ask, what else were me and my Buck loving brain to do but take Bucktommy into the folds and never let go? (apparently I hadn't considered that there was apparently horrifying alternative- more on that next!)
As you all damn well know, falling in love with Bucktommy has not come without its trails. I have never seen things in fandom as vile as the things I've seen go down here. And as I mentioned before, I've been IN IT with yall for a while, even if you didnt know it. I was here, lurking, and I know this fandom has had its highlight reels of racism and misogyny and harassment (despite certain factions current batshit consensus that things were "never bad" before *gasp* a couple of people, some over the ancient age *double gasp* of 30 heard about bucktommy through tumblr the same damn way the 90% of you who havent been watching since season 1 heard about buddie and decided to invest)
What happened tonight made me cry, for about 40 minutes straight. And yeah, its been a devastating week for us all for a lot of reasons. On top of the ~national dread (I'm a lesbian in the US btw) today was my 7th out of 9 straight days of open to close shifts in a demanding retail/management position, and I have a head cold so maybe this was just a Breaking Point after a whole lotta shit.
But also, maybe, it was really fucking shitty to watch this play out. I've already seen countless people say it better than I could. Yeah, its a tv show. It's a fictional ship. But its also escapism, a spot of joy many of us were extra dependent on this week. It was something GOOD, queer representation and a love story on national tv days after a horrifying reality set in for queer people, and we are allowed to acknowledge how much losing that sucks just on a general level for a second...
Second over, now lets talk not on the general level. Lets talk about how I've watched real human beings get harassed, sent death threats, be told they are faking cancer and failing to properly grieve dead loved ones, I've watched deeply homphobic language be adopted and incorporated into everyday use despite constant correction and pleas from queer men to knock it the hell off, I've watched homophia as a whole run rampant and unchecked by big blogs, with some biphobia to boot, I've seen some images of horrific anti gay violence and historical trauma invoked as a way to make fun of others, I've seen lesbianism slandered and proffered as an excuse for such vile behavior in a disgusting erasure of the beautiful solidarity that has historically existed between gay men and lesbians in the face of homophobia, and yes, I've seen graphic descriptions of child rape via targeted fanfiction attacks.
Again, others have already said it better than I can: This isn't about Bucktommy. It's about the way that everyone who was Pulling for them as a couple, who DARED to *checks scribble on hand* enjoy a canon queer mlm couple featuring a character (or two) they've grown to care deeply for, has been subjected to all the above mentioned and more, and for...what. For. What.
In the name of a fanon couple that has not been legitimized by the writers in 7 years? of a fanon character interpretation of a canonically straight man (not just assumed straight, verbally assigned straight now on multiple occasions) that people cannot fathom perceiving this show, let alone liking these characters, without? For the version of this story that, if the writers REALLY wanted to happen could have happened so many fucking times by now- especially when the show was coming to what might have been its end in s6- and still hasn't? A version that has been dismissed multiple times by the writers cast crew and every other unfortunate individual who has been harassed repeatedly about it?
And I'm not here to say Buddie is inherently bad!!!! It brought me into this same as the rest of you. I don't even believe it would necessarily be a bad or wrong conclusion for either character or the show were it to eventually, finally happen!! But for the love of god, hear me when i say from the outsider pov of someone who has experience the show in the way I did first through fandom then stepping back to watch for real and now watching it with my mother who is a near Exact representation of the general audience of this show (experienced Procedural watcher, no idea about Buddie or fandom interpretation, had no sense of gay eddie to speak of, and is not shocked but pleasantly surprised by and endeared by Bi Buck) you are SEVERELY deluded if you think what happened tonight by breaking up Bucktommy "makes sense" to any audience outside of buddies who've been writing manifestos for years about how every single thing in this show is "carefully, intentionally, clearly" leading to Buddie canon. I swear to you the people at home do not fucking see it. The people at home saw Buck in a nice, developing relationship that finally seemed to be going somewhere real for him after discovering an important part of his identity late in life, and then they saw that relationship abruptly ended and Buck heartbroken, going to sit with his best, still straight, bud Eddie Diaz. The ONLY people this makes sense for are the people who I am afraid it seems may have legimately bullied this into happening.
And if that is the case? We are sooo far fucking past the point of no return here. There is no true satisfaction in a Buddie canon endgame here for anyone who's lived through the past half a year in this fandom unless you were a perpetrator of any of the horrific shit mentioned above. I mean that with my whole fucking chest. If, and i do think it is a Big Fucking Fat if, Buddie does happen, and you find yourself no qualms happy and satisfied with it as your well earned endgame, I hope you know how rotted you are. And while I'm at it, I hope some way some how you come to see that this was not the carefully crafted beautifully developed loved story of all time you were gods bravest soldier in waiting for. Its just what left after years of meandering storytelling and cyclical character "development" with a bow slapped on top at the last moment because the gift giver was afraid you might kill them if they presented less.
Anyway. I said a million words ago that this was a love letter, and I do mean that. As much as its also been an mental health exercise for me to write this all out. So,
@kinardbuckleys @bucksboobs @kirkaut @tevankinkley @userautumn @sunglassesmish @tommyscurls @ohithankyou @buckxtommy @princessfbi @bigfootsmom @firewasabeast
(And so many other people I'm surely forgetting, and the few artists and writters on other platforms I dared to venture to- maybe never opening twitter again after this xoxo)
Thank you. You don't know me, I never quite got over the anxiety of trying to re-enter a fandom space after a time away, or maybe some of the imposter syndrome or embarrassment I felt accidentally falling in love with this show and Buck by just watching you all talk about him before anything else. But for the last few months, some of you years, you've been my community, my escape. I've loved watching your brains and your hearts work to discuss and create, even amidst the absolute shittiest fandom behavior Ive ever seen. And I am as grateful for getting to experience it from a far as I am devastated at the thought of losing it, of not individually typing in all your blog names (I was too anxious to even FOLLOW you guys truly rip) to see what new content or spec or art or love you had to share about Buck / Bucktommy every day.
In another life- one where idk perhaps people were kinder or showrunners weren't bullied and actors weren't dropped last minute after months of torment and a satisfying canon queer love story for a character who genuinely needs it could just Be in peace- I would have loved to one day put on my big girl pants (aka saved Buck url) joined the fandom for real. To have directly talked to any of you in a way that wasnt... this.
I would have loved to love Bucktommy with you.

Mmm I love angst :)) Is that something that should flag concern? Possibly. Am I going to address that? Nope!
Anyways, could I please get CFHINUZ from the angst alphabet 🥀 for Claire and Ranger? thank you!
marry me rn./p
C - crying (do they cry easily? what causes them to crack? how do they cry?)
claire is hard to cry, imagining losing someone dear to em would break her, it's mostly silent tears w some sobs here n there w the occasional break down
as for ranger,is easily to for their eyes to water,they can even do it at command, but you won't catch them dead crying,lying to them will make them cry for obvious reasons ,if they do cry , they're a messy crier
F - fights (how do they argue? how quickly do they start an argument? are they patient with their S/O's feelings?)
Claire is louns and demanding and blaming whoever she's arguing with,she doesn't start a fight fast (unless it's w knight) bit if it does break out it's a disaster,she tries to talk first tho,she is patient w ranger's feelings
ranger,is the "hoarse voice,red eyes" kind , they also don't start a fight easy,but they are not very patient
H - heartbroken (have they had their heartbroken before? does their S/O have the power to break them?)
Claire,no,not romantically at least, she had the occasional situationship here n there nothing broken worthy tho, when she's mates w ranger theu can break her obv
ranger, losing Izaiah was their breaking point, they're never became the same after it, Claire can break them but it won't be as bad
I - Insecurities
Claire,yes,her scars ,she tells herself that she hides them from others but deep down she's insecure about them
ranger,their personality,how they became after losing Izaiah and regaining their memories,they hate themselves, slightly
N - nightmare (what's their worst fear?)
Claire,not being strong enough to protect the people she loves (she still feels guilty that knight got injured that day when they get a flare up or limp early in the morning, knowing full well that is the like,the only price to bay, that that's the best outcome,that if she wasn't there they might be dead, that they're still alive because of her,yet she feels guilty that she didn't provent more from happening)
ranger, vampires they don't show it,and definitely can't say it or knight wiuld literally skin them alive and hurt evie,and they're such a hypocrite for being friends w her,but they don't mind being a hypocrite for her,vampires makes them uneasy after Izaiah was killed by one
U - urges (what's something they want but cannot have? or something they lost and can't get back.)
while Claire is happy w her life rn , she does yarn for her simple "just a pack member" life,no alpha, almost no responsibility, being the reckless little girl she was again
ranger, trust,they can't turst again,not fully.
Z - zero (what would they do if they lost everything?)
Claire would probably kill herself after a long depressive episode of thinking that it was her fault and she wasnt enough to stop it
ranger already lost everything before and picked back up,a think they can do it again

give me your favorite manga or anime of all time. NOW. like, the ones who changed you as a person. if you are okay with questions like that!
Charlotte!!!! More anime/manga asks yipeeee I'll give you the three I can think of rn! For this one, Gintama is definitely my all-time fave but the others are in no specific order at all
Gintama - This one started off as a comedy at first and it really took its time endearing me to all these quirky and funny characters, while also showing glimpses of the layers beneath them. Then comes the "serious" arcs, that's when I start screaming and crying when I get to know more beneath those layers. The comedy is definitely still the highlight in this series for me, whenever I feel down I would pick a random Gintama episode and just watch it. Tbh, even if it has 300+ episodes, I can confidently say that I probably already rewatched it at least three times by now. But another highlight for me here is the mangaka's godtier ability to shift the tone between say comedy and serious/heartwarming moments, the transitions feel really smooth and it doesn't feel forced or out of place. I mentioned this in Jojo's ask, but this series really helped/supported me through my most depressed teenage years and it's probably not an overstatement to say that its one of the reasons I'm still alive rn. One of the quotes there that I can still vividly remember is "It's always darkest right before dawn". On the more goofy side, even to this day, I still have that one monkey's long ass name memorized lmao (the tagalog version specifically) Even if I change interests and fandoms, it will always be #1. The writing style, the characters and the comedy in Gintama are all such a huge inspiration, as well as a standard, for me. If you're familiar with Gintama, you can see lots of pieces of it in the way I want to portray and execute my own stories.
Pandora Hearts - THIS ONE CERTAINLY CHANGED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY AS WELL. ITS ALSO VERY MUCH A MASTERPIECE. But my brain treats it the opposite of Gintama, in the way that after I finished reading the manga - I never reread it again. That's just how much the story destroyed me so thoroughly. I'm so afraid to re-experience it lmaooo I cried a lot of times for the characters there and the plot twists are nothing short of insane. I really love how complex the characters, their relationships with e/o and their lore are in this story. This series really fuels the angst + extremely complicated story lover in me. It's also a huge inspiration for my stories 🤭🤭🤭 If you're not familiar with this one, I recommend searching this one anime ost it has called "Lacie" (to avoid spoilers, don't go for the sideshow ones dkdhdj). I'm so attached to that ost, it has been a source of both comfort and sadness in one package. One of these days, I'll get enough courage for a reread...
IDOLiSH7 - I discovered this idol series when I was in college! (specifically experienced it first in the mobile game form) I thought its gonna be the usual happy lighthearted idol story that I'll move on from after a few weeks BUT NO! BRAIN CHEMISTRY CHANGED!! I didn't expect them to go so much deeper than that and I didn't expect to love & be attached to all the main characters, it's insane. Some of the characters' problems like Mitsuki's even hits so close to home, it really made me go *pause and starts walking around the house*. And thats just part 1 of the story, and then it's gets even worse (in the best way possible) in further parts. It doesn't help that the anime for it was done with a lot of love and care in it, elevating and improving the source material even further (adding/emphasizing symbolisms, more foreshadowing, etc). I just know that the main people involved in the creation/production of its anime were also as much of a fan as I am 🥺💖✨ (THE SONGS ARE BANGERS TOO!!!)
That's all for now, let me know if you want me to list more hehehe I rambled a lot for each of these three, but tbh, I still don't think it's enough to express hm these series meant to me dkdbmssbsn

Hi ! Idk if ur requests are open- but if they are and ur accepting , I was wondering if you could pls do some Carl x fem!midsized!adhd!Reader headcanons ? 🙏🏻💜 !!
Reader has pretty intense mood swings, gets irritable & frustrated easily, impatient, impulsive, deals with anxiety/anxiety attacks, depressive episodes, tends to isolate when upset, body image issues/low self-esteem, gets overwhelmed & overstimulated easily, social anxiety, etc. Carl just knows how to help her, gently reminds her to take her meds, helps her love herself (often times by showing her how much he loves her body & curves), and is just overall a very patient, caring, understanding, sweetheart... who could deal with me
Sorry if this is too much btw - I'm just going through it rn and this would rly help, especially bc I don't see nearly enough Carl fics with a midsized reader, or who struggles with mental health 🥲.... Anyway, ily and ur blog sm ! 💞✨- I hope you're doing well and eating + drinking water !! <333
Tumblr media
Yes! Requests are open, thank you so much! (I deffo didn’t squeal when I saw I got a request from you, I’m totally cool and stoic and normal.)
I got really carried away and wrote about how first interactions would go instead of simple head cannons (It’s 4k words and I’m still not done, what am I doing?) in my defence–I tried I’m just terrible at the format of head cannons.
I will practice them though!
I definitely wouldn’t mind making a little series adding dating quirks and depressive episodes.. etc (I’d constantly be in one during the apocalypse, let's be real) and I was already planning on doing a mini-series with some other prompts - so this would be great to get my gears turning! it’s just a matter of if anyone would read the ones I’m already thinking of :P I’m hoping to get it posted today, I’ll tag you! I hope you’re being very kind to yourself, I’m going through it too <33 LOTS OF LOVE FROM ME MWAH!!
My very professional notes app if anyone's interested in what I'm currently writing, I'm so stuck on the Ron fic god help me.
Tumblr media
Yours is "Holding it together" but I may change the title? Girlie is struggling... I hope the story good I can't tell. At least I'm trying (I say for the millionth time this week)

HELLO I AM HERE FOR PODCAST RECS. I haven’t listened to TMA (way too big, I’m too intimidated) and only a little nightvale, BUT some of my favorites (in absolutely no order bc I can’t brain enough to do that rn) are: Hello From the Hallowoods, Tides, Second Star to the Left, Wooden Overcoats, The Last Show, Para.docx, The Mistholme Museum of Mystery, Morbidity, and Mortality
Things I didn’t like: Old Gods of Appalachia (really wanted to like, but it was way too graphic), Hello From the Magic Tavern, Girl In Space (the isolation creeped me out), Marsfall (too depressing, not enough hope)
hello !! that's very interesting, okay so I have a few ideas :
Elaine's Cooking for the Soul -
Tumblr media
SCP find us alive - I believe you could really like this one, it's a very lovely listen weirdly hopeful and sometimes surprisingly funny
Tumblr media
The Antique Shop - I deeply enjoyed this one and think you may as well
Tumblr media
Midnight Burger - the length of the episodes may be a tad intimating but you definitely should try this one
Tumblr media
If you liked Wooden Overcoats I got a feeling you'll enjoy The Vanishing Act just as much !!
Tumblr media
there you go !! :D

first thoughts on Ted Lasso premiere
Phoebe remains the absolute best.
DRESSED LIKE AN UMLAUT
Ted being all sad and rumpled and rumpled and sad 😭 he needs comforting but also antidepressants and some serious rejiggering of his parenting life lbr 😭 looking forward to the fic
love everything with Nate and Rupert and the whole West Ham sterile environment...it's so deliciously fucked up. And the panicking + spitting under the table?? FUCK. oh, Nate. i look forward to the fucked up fic
I'm not sad to have some Roy x Keeley angst... hoping with @wildwren that it goes angstier before or gets better! (WREN I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR FIC 👀👀👀👀) but also I love them and want there to be a very satisfying arc of them working their shit out and getting back together and fucking Jamie
I really don't think I followed the sewer metaphor right.. it sounded like a suggestion to form a human centipede?? 😹 i don't look forward to that fic, but god bless if that's your kink.
also was not expecting crotch shots as they descended into the sewer... looking forward to the gifsets
much good himbo-ness!
Disco, lol
what's Beard reading now, and why is he leaving it on Roy to carry all of Nate's old job?
yes thank you for sharing your bosoms with Keeley, Rebecca! please do more; Keeley is sad and deserves boobs looking forward to the fic
oh fuck, it didn't occur to me that Keeley's office would be joyless thanks to her VCs appointing the CFO, ... didn't she hire some of the people, though?? why aren't those ones at least fun and awesome?? I'm going to be bummed if she fails at running her own company or hates it... but that doesn't feel like a move the show would pull, i hope? she should have success and JOY. may need to write the fic
Sam shirtless yes thank you
Jamie's hair lol no thank you
he's okay to drive but forever changed, haf... of course Beard knows toad venom. there was no doubt in my mind.
press conference duel YES. I love Nate taking Ted down and Ted lifting Nate up. even if Ted's too distracted and depressed to have his full joke mojo, that was great.
what must Nate be thinking after he angrily closes his laptop. look forward to he fic and meta
get it, Sharon! (that's not anyone we're supposed to recognize in her bed, right?)
Ted asking sad questions and Beard not answering except to point out that they already passed his apartment 😭 Beard what is up with you rn??? looking forward to the fic
Very curious about what Trent is up to. 👀👀 looking forward to the fic
as I expected might be the case, I was vibrating with New Canon Energy the whole time and it was a bit distracting... I definitely need to watch it again soon now that I know the basics of what happens. but I liked a lot of things in this episode, and i am not angry about anything, all of which is a delight and a relief since last time I joined a fandom during a hiatus it was Sherlock, and my feelings about the following episode were Complicated

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you with an ask for this, but 3, 7 and 8 for the s/i ask game
-@woof-ships
https://www.tumblr.com/huntinglove/750959724458065920?source=share
(In case you need the link btw, i know its been a couple days)
it is totally fine!!! stuff happens no worriess !! :DD thank you!!! ask game is here !! and as a treat bc i already answered all these for ace (three, three and seven, eight) i decided to answer these for my stardew farmer s/i!! i havent posted anything about them yet but shane is on my mind today....i hope thats ok!!!!
for a small intro on them...tbh theyre just a stardew farmer thats Me lol i think i named them kiwi, they/them! i havent thought about them in a while but i love shane sm <3333 they are kissssiiiiiing 3 – Have you ever imagined any episodes or segments of your F/O’s source starring your S/I? If so, what did they get up to?
oooo yes! this is a bit tricky with stardew but i like to think about kiwi completeing the community center and helping shane after he loses his job!! i think itd send him into a spiral, and i like to think kiwi is there to help him out!!! 7 – Within canon, is your S/I considered a hero, villain, anti-hero or a regular citizen? How does this affect their day to day life and their relationship with your F/O?
the town definitely sees them as a mix of a hero/just some guy! they definitely helped save the town by driving out jojamart, but they are also the weirdo that digs in the trash and comes up to them just to shove their favorite gift in their face haha. shane sees them as the person who helped pull him out of the worst depressive spiral in his life - so in his eyes, theyre the biggest hero of them all. shane also loves kiwis weird habits like waking up at 6 am and coming home beat up from the mines (even if hes concerned and tries to get them to be more careful)
8 – How lucky is your S/I? Are they always finding themselves in complicated situations or danger? Or do they magically get themselves out of anything scot-free?
Oh Boy. as with the canon of stardew, this varies greatly day to day! sometimes kiwi is super lucky and other times they find themselves in the mines facing down hoardes of enemies and getting beat up lol. they always seem to make out okay in the end - even getting super injured and ending up at the doctors, they always end up okay the next day. they bounce back quick!
thank you so much for the ask!!!! sorry its about kiwi but i hope thats okay! maybe ill make a dedicated tag and post for them lol. rn mob psycho is too much in my brain haha

This might seem kinda dumb, but I need to rant a lil. No need to respond if you can't rn, and also cw for imposter syndrome, anxiety issues and talking about suicidal ideation.
I worry a lot about being fake mentally ill - a few years back, I had really severe OCD (the obsession being based on a certain crime, don't wanna say which bc it's taboo as hell but yeah). But since then, it's calmed down significantly - I still have minor episodes that flare up about morality issues and past mistakes, ranging from a few hours to a few days at a time and I've had on and off obsessions about my sexuality for years.
I also used to really struggle taking care of myself back in middle school, and that's probably when the depressive episodes started to get bad - I was never sure I had clinical depression, but I did have varying levels of suicidal ideation and such. That's also since lifted a bit.
I guess I just...feel guilty calling myself neurodivergent. I feel guilty saying I deal with anxiety, or OCD, or even just depressive thoughts bc since they've lightened and I'm more capable of self-care, I feel like a fraud saying that I "have OCD" when most episodes nowadays only last a few days at a time with the severity not as bad. Like, before, I didn't even wanna leave the house - sometimes my room - if certain people were over. Now I can easily be around those people most of the time, and brush off thoughts that make me uneasy for the most part.
It's moreso moved on from on major obsession to a bunch of smaller ones that sorta come and go, ranging from social justice issues to something like spiritual beliefs and existential stuff. Also, semi-related social anxiety.
But I just...feel horrible saying I'm neurodivergent. I feel like I'm not "dysfunctional" enough to be those things, which makes me ALMOST tempted enough to prove I am, which wouldn't be healthy either.
Sorry if this is a bad time, just...ugh.
You cannot fake something by accident, so the mere fact that you are afraid of being a faker is definite proof that you are not. If you were faking this you'd know. It takes deliberate ongoing effort

how ADHD affects my social media addiction
Social media is the main enemy of my ADHD. Why? I go on my phone ‘doom scroll ’l till I’m either “motivated” by some random influencer, depressed because I saw a happy couple, or my retail therapy kicks in and I have a want for everything I see. I’ve already removed myself from tik tok but now I use Instagram reels as a different source of doom scrolling. I get fixated on multiple types of videos thinking “ omg I wanna buy that” or “omg I can do that let’s start right now” or “I wish I was that happy with someone” Social media I KNOW is the root of all evil and if I cut it out what am I left with?  my thoughts. My anxiety and ADHD both kick in and get bored so we find the nearest solution which resets back to social media and or whatever I am interested in at the time. It definitely doesn't help I have zero hobbies (but that is a topic for another day) 
Recently I have logged out of Twitter (x) because my ADHD decided to fixate on the concept of making moots and joining fanbases through twt. Unfortunately, my ADHD can not consistently stick to a fandom. I have rotated at least 5 fandoms in the past year because of ADHD. Considering I can't be active in any fandom for more than 3 months, it's been hard to please my ADHD fixation. It has gotten to the point where I was trying WAY too damn hard to gain followers. I was even questioning if anyone liked me… Quoted from the DM's with my friend; “Am I too autistic for this? Is there some twt language I’m missing? Maybe I’m just unlikeable? Idk I know it’s dumb but autism is tweaking that it’s not going right and my ADHD is keeping the fixation rn” After I had an entire spiral, on my break at work mind you, I decided the best course of action was to just take a step back and log off. This is the second app I've had to remove myself from because it completely tanks my mental, ALL BECAUSE my silly ADHD decided to hyper-fixate on the most random shit. I put so much effort into liking, commenting, retweeting, etc etc, and to see no results makes it extremely difficult to not be upset. I have no idea why my brain was like “omg it be so cool to make friends through twt” and its been fixated on that for nearly…a month but the past week it has exploded into something more mentally taxing. 
ALSO, in order for myself to get off of doom scrolling on Instagram or youtube I attempted to watch a show on HBO but of fucking course my ADHD was very uninterested in the hour-long episodes I INSTICTIVELY opened Insta and started scrolling…
Social media makes me overthink and get extremely obsessive. It is something I have to work on. Maybe joining another social media platform was not the best idea but I believe this is a better decision. If you relate tell me about it cause I sometimes feel slightly insane for how I act on my ADHD fixations…

Was Tagged in this post by @azonine and my edible hit a while ago. let's go for it everybody thank you beloved
Last Song: my sister and i were listening to our spotify blend earlier and i think it's updating itself bc i could've sworn the last thing i remember was something like passion by nicki minaj with a pink album cover but i can't find this song so i think i made it up. likely what i actually hear was Bomb Intro / Pass That Dutch by Missy Elliot. it's my sister's contribution but i vibe with it. apparently we're an 83% match which is interesting. she also keeps making fun of me for saying ethoslab is attractive but i'm literally right. sorry you wouldn't understand
Favorite Color: BRIGHT red slightly pink. i never used to say i have a favorite color and i lost my shoe. i've found it. anyway i gravitate towards red, especially that shade. i also love just black of course but that is a safe color that goes with anything. but red. that's bold. also many flowers are red. flowers are gorgeous. every single one. godbless they make the world cooler
Last Movie/TV: The Wilds. one of those cancelled lesbian shows. unfortunate. it's not as good as Yellowjackets though. i think they spend too much time on everyone's backstories but they're honestly not that complex like half of season 1 is leah having a breakdown over that guy and they want to be like leah is an obsessive person but they only show the one thing like. her other obsessions are so much more interesting i don't care about mr pedophile writer guy i literally do not care. let her go insane she deserves it for being bisexual. the last movie is possibly blue beetle which was alright for an airplane movie, wish i could pause it though. why tf is it a channel? who put live channels on planes? who did that? you deserve SUFFERING. also, while i was writing this i realized i actually later watched the new percy jackson episode with my sister so that actually but i don't remember anything from the books and unfortunately the show is clearly directed towards the same age range as the original series and it's like. good for what it is but selfishly i wish it was cooler for me specifically. rick riordan is cool though
Sweet/Spicy/Savory?: sweet or savory depends on my mood really. but savory maybe? although i am searching it up and now i am confused about the definition. i love the savory crepes (the philly) from crepevine it's possibly my favorite meal ever. would love to eat crepevine every day all day ever
Relationship Status: newly single. please hmu if you like taking care of pathetic people or alternatively have a lot of money
Last Thing I Googled: "vegetable list" to answer the llff qotd which i keep saying in my head as "quote of the day". before that. soojin g-idle. queen. you would've killed it in queencard i know it. also as you can see above i am in fact single
Current Obsession: i think my depression is currently bad enough to prevent me from a single obsession currently. i searched the wilds on tumblr a couple times but it's like 90% people complaining about canceled wlw shows bc tumblr search is unusable. i wouldn't call it anything close to an obsession though, it just happens to be what i'm currently binging. most recently though - poppy seed pets. also rewatched a couple community episodes. such a good show my god. wish alison brie was asian. also i have been thinking about tattoos a lot. specifically my new one which was my first. got with friends. very cute (: further i am going to be so abnormal about the boys s4. i don't have a kin list but i'm starting one rn putting jordan li at the top. minecraft character bdoubleo100 second. king from the owl house third. not for size reason we just both get disrespected. taking recommendations for additions that aren't a random small animal you saw on instagram - please keep in mind that i am 7'4" in real life and extremely intimidating. i am also considering adding nora from the wilds (autistic) and abed community (autistic) and todd sanchez bojack horseman (aspec but actually we're not that similar. i think i am just thinking about him. what a lad.) and perhaps. asian lesbian from scream queens because i too think chanel no. 3 is hot. actually every character from community except pierce is relateable. also generally any character that is "bad" representation of a minority group and knows it but i haven't seen much of that kind of character. they should make more of them for the bitches like me who are simultaneously whitewashed and a stereotype

hi giada, i must ask. how depressive is the vibe of yellowjackets? i wanna give it a try today but i am in a good mood rn and worry about ruining it lmao 😂😂
Oh God, I think its very subjective! It depends on what you personally find depressing or gross.
For example, i was told it was very gory, but it didn't feel like it to me, (at least on the first season lmao) but its definitely dark and it handles very heavy themes, psychologically speaking. Also, whats not too gory for me it might be for you, just so you know.
I think you should try the first two episodes because they set the tone of the show very well! If you find them to be interesting enough for you to get invested into the story, then I think you'll be fine with the rest of the show ^^

My Summer 2023 favs
Like last season, I kept up with four new shows that I vibed with the most! I would love for all these shows to get more episodes (only one has a second season confirmed), but I'm grateful for what we got so far. Masterful Cat still has one more ep but I'm comfy enough to give my thoughts on it a lil early for my seasonal anime post:
Undead Murder Farce: This one I watched kind of on a whim and I am SO glad I did, I fell in love with this cast. Aya Rindo the genius detective who is also an immortal severed head that has one joke she makes about that to wonderful effect, Tsugaru the :> half demon weird silly guy who's also an incredibly skilled fighter, and Shizuku the battle maid who is also very lesbian. The trio is polycule of the season no question. The animation was stylish and cool, the mysteries all had me hooked, humor was on point, and they used a ton of public domain characters from the era in fun and unique ways that all felt true to themselves. I'd love to have more of this one someday.
The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again, Today: This one made me ugly cry the most (seriously just watch the ED and picture Chiral ugly sobbing at it. It hit hard at where I'm at in life rn, and reading the author's note in the first vol of the manga hit home why I think, they said they wrote it when they were very tired and were looking for a reprieve from that, and also really wanted a cat. Something about the premise felt queer to me in a way I can't articulate, but then there were two girls canonically crushing on the main girl Saku so then we got actual queerness. Yukichi deserves all the hugs.
Atelier Ryza: I love the games, so I was really happy to have the first (well part of the first) adapted! Klaudia is my fav and they did so right by the babygorl. Klaudia x Ryza forever 💖
Reborn as a Vending Machine: I don't watch a lot of isekai but this one's premise was so stupid I had to, and it was a nice and fun lighthearted show. I saw someone say you just need a show that's candy sometimes, and this was definitely that. I majorly respect the manga writer's intense hyperfixation on all things vending machine.

WAIT OMG I HOPE YOU DONT MIND ME JOINING IN AND ALSO REACTING TO SOME OF YOUR POINTS
"the anatomy model guy with okarun's golden ball. (i had an out of body experience just typing this. dandadan is not a show, it's an acid trip dhdbsbs)" HELP I WASNT SURE HOW EXACTLY TO DESCRIBE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO EXPERIENCE DANDADAN UNTIL I READ THIS. YOU'RE SO RIGHT FOR THIS AND AUWGHSHWH I LOVE SILLY STORIES LIKE THESE THAT JUST. AGH!!!!
"i don't think he has no feelings as he described it the first time momo helped him transform, it's like, his emotions actually take over but this guy is so lonely and clinically anxious that what he's been feeling for so long bubbles up to the surface. and that something is Depression. lol. depression and apathy." OMG THIS FR!!!! and also may i also point out how despite the depression being the most prominent emotion, he still goes out of his way to protect and be there for Momo DESPITE the state and form he currently in! multiple times I'm p sure throughout the episodes! OH ALSO BESTIE IS QUITE DEFINITELY NEURODIVERGENT FOR SURE!!!
"because also he gets blunter when he transforms and he doesn't seem to remember he literally calls momo "babe" when mans cannot even bear to have girlie on a first name basis??" OMG THIS FR!!! I think its partially an effect mayhaps of the transformation? like the filters are less prominent GHSWKHWJSHHW SCREAMS!! AUGH I LOVE THESE TWO IDIOTS TO BITS!
"but also BUT ALSO the way they had me kicking and screaming at okarun already half in yokai form when he was running after momo and jiji because didn't he say that he transforms when he is feeling angry? and the way he was already transformed, which means his anger was already getting the best of him, already making him blunter by actually admitting out loud he didn't like that jiji kept hugging momo fjdbshsushsbsjssb" HELKP ME IFKR?!?!?!?? WILL NEVER NOT EXPLODE OVER THIS.
"but also I didn't get why he didn't just run the first time when he transformed? he had to do the thing two times until he put his shoes away? was he waiting for his coat thing or was he just being ocd and couldn't run until he put his shoes away?" PFFT i meann-- it mayhaps partially be also bc his shoes get destroyed every time he transforms and GRANNY ALREADY HAD TO BUY THEM UNIFORMS SO MANY TIMES ALREADY BAHAHAHHAHAA (I'm pretty sure this was also after they begged her to buy them new uniforms so if you think abt it, checks out HAHAHAHAHAHA)
"okarun reacting by working out to bottle up his emotions and get ripped instead of dealing with them is so terminally Man of him it's the only time I've ever rolled my eyes at him fhdbsbsbs" NO DONT STOP BECAUSE ME TOO HELPEPEPEPEPP NO BC THE GUYS IN MY FAMILY DOES THIS (i am especially dissing my younger brother rn.) AND ITS HSDKAWHKSHAHSWJHAHWHW.
ALSO MOMO GIRLIE IM SO SORRY BUT I CANNOT. I CANNOT WITH THE "I'm just an awkward guy" LINE LIKE. OKAY YOU CAN SWOON OR WHATEVER BUT MY GODS DOES THE LINE PERSONALLY LOW KEY GRATE ON MY EARS AND and make me have the TINIEST urge to chuck whomever just said that line into oblivion. Okarun you are blorbo but no. (low key the only other line that would give me an equal reaction this line would be an unironic grating "I'm just a cute girl uwu 🥺" BC AURGH!!! I'm just a lil guy is fine tho its cute but IDK ANYWAYS-)
elpshwshkwjhwwwhw augh i still love this silly ass show so much
things that made me feral and rabid and a concern for animal control in dandadan ep 11
jealous okarun is actually "so anxious i am about to vomit" okarun and i love that for him
jiji being Like That the second he enters momo's class and immediately announcing that not only they live together, they're lovers 💀 jiji💀
but you know what, in jiji's defense i see the Vision. like those 0.5 seconds where he actually got real with momo were >>>> this boy is best boy.
okarun reacting by working out to bottle up his emotions and get ripped instead of dealing with them is so terminally Man of him it's the only time I've ever rolled my eyes at him fhdbsbsbs
MOMO AYASE WHAT DO YOU MEAN "I'LL FEED YOU"
iconic behavior queen, iconic.
girl was flirting with okarun so mf hard and the way this boy was about to have a fucking aneurysm dndbsbsb stop
the anatomy model guy with okarun's golden ball. (i had an out of body experience just typing this. dandadan is not a show, it's an acid trip dhdbsbs)
i need to read the manga to catch up with the lore because I have so many questions about okarun's transformation. Does he rememeber what he says in yokarun form? but also it's such a nifty little pressure valve for his personality like
i don't think he has no feelings as he described it the first time momo helped him transform, it's like, his emotions actually take over but this guy is so lonely and clinically anxious that what he's been feeling for so long bubbles up to the surface. and that something is Depression. lol. depression and apathy.
because also he gets blunter when he transforms and he doesn't seem to remember he literally calls momo "babe" when mans cannot even bear to have girlie on a first name basis??
but also BUT ALSO the way they had me kicking and screaming at okarun already half in yokai form when he was running after momo and jiji because didn't he say that he transforms when he is feeling angry? and the way he was already transformed, which means his anger was already getting the best of him, already making him blunter by actually admitting out loud he didn't like that jiji kept hugging momo fjdbshsushsbsjssb
chat I'm unwell
i know it's such a dumb little thing but it meant SO much
having me howling and clawing against the walls
but also I didn't get why he didn't just run the first time when he transformed? he had to do the thing two times until he put his shoes away? was he waiting for his coat thing or was he just being ocd and couldn't run until he put his shoes away?
ALSO
THE WAY HE IMMEDIATELY FIXED HIS POSTURE WHEN REALIZATION DAWNED ON HIM THAT HE LOVES MOMO AFTER SEEING THE FRIGGIN ANATOMY DOLLS FIGHTING FOR THEIR LOVE (dhsbaba acid trip acid trip acid triiiiiip) SUCH A SMALL DETAIL SUCH A DEFINITE AND ELEGANT WAY TO SHOW HIS CHANGE OF MIND, HIS CHARACTER GROWTH, AND HIS RESOLUTION ALL IN LESS THAN A SECOND. DANDADAN THE SHOW THAT YOU ARE.

I want to work. I am in it I should get an it job. I am a student so obviously a part time job. Probably not going to find anything in it in close range. But I need an it job so I get experience. But wait I don't want to spend my summer break working. I want to do stuff. Can't really do stuff without money.
I hate my brain. It's just this on repeat and it almost brings me to tears how useless I am. Everyone around me is more of an adult then I am.
And maybe worse of it all is that a lot of people see me as the responsible smart one, but in reality I am just a sad piece of shit. The only reason they don't know that is because the one thing I am good at is hiding it.
Summer break is almost here and during the last few months I was constantly thinking of all the things I will do. But slowly the realistically thinking part of my brain reminded me that I probably will throw all that away just like I always do. I will probably do nothing and then be sad about it as per always.
Part of my brain also can't stop thinking about relationships. How great it would be if I had a partner. But then I remember that I am in no shape to be in a relationship. I am a ruin, a looser, and if I ever wanted to be in a relationship I would have to hide this, which isn't optimal. But the thought that a gf would surely set me straight is there. And it might be kinda right, cuz I tend to perform much better when I am doing something for some else but myself. However I am "smart" enough to recognize that a "she will fix me " relationship is a stupid idea.
The worst part of this is that I can't blame anyone but myself. I am the reason my life has no future.
And it's not like I am not trying to fix myself, atleast sometimes. But my laziness is just stronger than my will. Not like it's hard to beat that.
I said that I am constantly hiding parts of myself so that I seem as a normal person and the only place I ever talk about the other stuff is here. And I want to keep being honest to myself atleast here, and since no one that knows me personally will ever read this, I can.
One of my problems, potentially the worst and definitely my biggest secret is my porn addiction. Not just regular porn but the worst part of it, R34. Trying to get rid of it is really hard. I managed like two or three weeks few months ago but I relapsed. Now I tried it again after like 3months and I am on approximately 3.5 days rn. I created a phone app that counts up to track my progress. I hope I can do it, because I am a piece of shit without it and if I want to be atleast somewhat of a Normal person that can have a normal relationship.
If someone that knows me ever reads this it's either way into the future when it got better or it's when I have another depressive episode and I can't keep this secret anymore. There is probably only one person I would ever show this to in the near future and I hope that it won't change how you look at me too much.

i ruined another friendship due to psychosis TT_TT
i am trying my best to take my meds and get on meds to help prevent psychotic episodes
it just sucks when my delusions make me think people hate me and then when i tell them this they take things very personally and dont want to be friends anymore. thus... proving my delusions to be closer to reality than i would really like, and further muddling my definition of reality and my ability to differentiate between what is real and what is not
i am going to see about getting a higher dose of mood stabilizer and going to see about getting on an anti psychotic that wont cause weight gain. and then maybe an anti depressant also. but these things take time
idk if i can have friends tbh like at all. maybe when i am stable on meds. but maybe not. rn i think its best i not have any friends because i dont know if it is good for others to be around me which is sad
i am on my period so my psychosis might be from PMDD instead of bipolar but im not sure that makes a difference? genuinely no idea
