#i binge it at least once a week tbh

[mrfoox]

Sometimes I see myself in the mirror and think 'it looks like I've lost weight!' but then in the same day I can see myself and think I've gained

[saerins]

"in infy rn i imagine dad!sae is trying his best to figure out how to be a good dad and husband :’)"

Give us more insights if you can BAE 😘

i have not moved on too.... INFY will always be my first Sae fic that I have binged in 12 hrs <3

----hehehehe

more infy!sae drops ?? say no more ;) (just general bits and pieces of what their life is like after infy ended)

absolutely puts infy!yn and his baby first :’) he hired a nanny to help after yn gave birth but he’s so worried all the time that he ends up rescheduling everything regarding work and personally taking care of yn and their baby himself anyway. he’s so, so overprotective of yn and his baby haha

sae trying to figure out yn’s period mood swings and what each gesture of hers means is a treat tbh lmao. the bare minimum he knows is that he always has to make sure the kitchen is stocked full of food

makes sure he takes yn on a proper date at least once every other week (no distractions, just him and yn and a good time for several hours) just because he heard someone at his office getting a divorce and he realised he can’t just let the spark die subtly over time

when yn first met rin and sae was so relieved because they got along so well, probably even better than rin and sae did (in a different way). sometimes sae just takes his daughter so yn and rin can catch up and unwind together :)

dad sae actually has to put up with yn’s requests of wearing matching family outfits sometimes even though he hates the idea :’)

and that’s all for infy drops part one !! <3

Hi BPP,

It's nice to see you active :)

I was thinking about this a lot lately and I was curious what you thought.

I feel like out of all the BTS members, Jimin doesn't seem to care as much about appearing active, he is hardly on social media and posts stuff once in a lifetime. I don't ever see him hype himself or his project and I fail to understand why. Like why doesn't he promote himself? Isn't that a bit weird? I am just curious what you thought.

***

Hi Anon,

I love that for him really.

Being chronically online isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Jimin is at least two decades ahead of everyone else by deciding to limit his social media use now. And while it’s a stark difference from his activity levels in 2018, it’s not like he’s completely fallen off the planet either. He posts every 2 – 3 weeks at most about things he’s up to, he posts fairly regularly for Dior and other brand deals, he posted his Hot100 accomplishment, he posts about his music and fun updates about his life occasionally (like visiting museums). So in that sense, while it’s not as in your face, frequent or tech-savvy as other members/idols, Jimin ‘hypes himself’ well enough.

It’s not all that weird tbh.. It seems Jimin in general isn’t as active on social media as he used to be, and in terms of posting frequent updates as an idol (aka work), he’s more selective. He's generally always been somewhat private, and now is just in more of a position to enforce his boundaries on what's for fan consumption and what is his private life. Sometimes he binge replies to posts on Weverse, other times he’s MIA. He appears to prefer to work in silence and is active whenever he has something to show, or wants to interact with fans. He's built a reputation that guarantees at least half of Korea will tune into his project as soon as it's announced, so he technically doesn't have to do the grunt work to promote it the way a lot of idols have to do.

He’s one of a handful of idols who have the following and reputation to get away with his current approach, and as I said, good for him.

[the-starry-seas]

was thinking more about mar'eyce zenith's job as forest service pilot and did some googling about smokejumpers and is anybody really surprised that i have more OCs?

Manaia, the ICT3, they/them, early forties. Co-parenting everyone with their pilot, Zenith (ey/em). They're 5'10" and built like a brick wall which tends to make people intimidated, but when they're not working, they're laid-back and like to laugh. But when someone tries to get fresh with their team... yeah, there's gonna be trouble. In their downtime, they're a photographer and pole dance for exercise (and to make people wonder if their poker face is really that good [it is]).

Waimarie, the spotter, she/her, mid twenties. Fashionista, gardener, and astronomer. She knows Nīkau's name as her buir <3 She always picks up a box of two-bite brownies on her way in to work, because while this girl should not be in the kitchen, she's got a need for baked goods. She can be bribed into doing about anything with macademia nut cookies. Likes to ride the bus on random routes to see more of the city. Has made many friends with old ladies on the bus, and on four separate occasions, has helped a kid with homework.

Nīkau, late thirties, he/they. He always has tea on hand and he never shares. Got his scar in a bar fight that he started by cold-cocking a homophobe. Thinks it's pretty cool. Also thinks fire puns are funny. He's always showing off pictures of his dog, a Boston Terrier named Rose Tyler. His three boyfriends look after her while he's at work. Doesn't actually own any of his shirts or jackets, they're all stolen from his boyfriends. The collar, on the other hand, was a gift from them. Has the TARDIS tattooed on the inside of his left wrist.

Christopher, mid thirties, he/him. A one-man survival team who always has a gallon bucket full of peanut butter cups on his desk. Likes some water with his ice cubes. Avid gamer. Face paint as self-expression. His car always smells like vanilla. Has four bearded dragons named Gandalf, Radagast, Alatar, and Pallando.

Tama, early thirties, he/him. Has an innate need to dive into literally any body of water even when explicitly told not to. Likely swimming somewhere right now. A year older than his brother, Tipene, and will never let him forget it. Car Guy™, who needs romance when you can spend three weeks disassembling a Ferrari engine and infodumping about pistons. Has dated two girls, both ended dramatically, might be time for him to realise he's into boys instead. Had several near-death experiences while cave diving and still required an intervention to stop. He still cliff dives.

Tipene, early thirties, it/its. Polyglot and polyamorous. Collects belt buckles and most of them are hideously gaudy tbh. Has a life-sized taxidermy shark hanging from the ceiling of the office and constantly scaring newbies with it. Always has the radio set to a classic country station. Stocks up on sour fruit candy like the apocalypse is coming. Would probably be fine in an actual apocalypse. Binges horror movies but can't watch anything where the dog dies. Consults the farmer's almanac daily and tracks how accurate it is in comparison to the local weather station. Has two full tattoo sleeves of indigenous birds, and it's a game to see if the team can spot all the birds on hiking trips.

Benjamin, late twenties, he/him. Takes heavily after his mother who died when he was born. His father remarried last year and he hates the new chick. Cotton candy is his main food group. Weaver and woodcarver who constantly gifts things to his friends or donates to charity auctions. Whenever someone asks to borrow a pencil, he takes out a jumbo pencil from his desk and pretends he doesn't have anything else. Flirts with everyone, nobody can tell when it's serious. Dramatically pulling off his sunglasses at least once a day. Only has one jacket that's red leather. Heavily tattooed from fingers to elbows but nowhere else. His lipstick is UV reactive and he's hooked up with half the city at some club or another.

Epoxy, late twenties, they/them. Transmasc swag cancelled out by inability to flirt. Seemingly never wears the same necklaces twice but they've kept the same shade of lipstick for the last ten years. Kiri is their best friend. Never seen without a backpack, but nobody is exactly sure what's in there. Constantly annoying everyone else by always having their earbuds in. Listens to Chappell Roan half the time and local indie artists the rest of the time. Hangs out at their other BFF Anahera's tattoo parlour on Thursdays because they have a crush on her. They got their name because they tried to wipe extra epoxy off on their hands on their first day and you can guess how that went.

Kiri, mid twenties, she/her. Everyone underestimates the skinny blond chick, which she uses to relentlessly fleece strangers at pool, darts, and contact sports. Highly competitive and will get in over her head if a dare or bet is offered. She's also an animal lover and keeps bringing home random insects and rodents that are considered pests around the airstrip. Constantly arguing with Chris about LOTR lore and drives him nuts talking about her Star Trek crossover fanfic bc they have wildly differing opinions on which hobbits would actually want to join Starfleet.

Oliver, nineteen, he/they. His cat is named Oreo and she's the love of his life, humans need not apply. He got the cat ear headband to match her. Goes all out on Halloween costumes every year. A friend to all insects, even the ones that bite him, they have their reasons. Designated remover of spiders from bathrooms. Keeps trying to grow flowers and failing miserably. Deeply invested in his neighbour's koi pond. Usually seen in a bomber jacket and jeans. Do not mention butterflies around him unless you're ready to hear more than you could ever remember. Keeps his Christmas lights up year-round. Has never thrown away a plastic bag in his life.

Binged yesterday & today 😵‍💫

Tbh it felt worth it. I need a break at least once a week I think.

I wanna fast & do my regular exercise routine until Saturday tho. I don’t have any meal plans w ppl until then — possibly until Sunday 😍

Gonna come up w a fasting plan that has low cal rewards to keep me going (im thinking 100-200 cals a day?)

Then Sunday-Tuesday night, right before I leave for trip — I’ll start practicing mindful eating and having tiny meals 2-3x a day to practice for eating a friends in France 🙃

Wish me luck 😭

[idontwannabeyouanymore]

a hot take (again) ♡

okay this might just be me but most of the time i feel like fasting does more harm than good... for me at least. allow me to elaborate;

yes, fasting will obvi make u drop pounds pretty quickly, but it's not sustainable for long periods of time so ultimately it leads to more binging (that cycle sux). also, if u can fast for long periods of time ur metabolism will absolutely suffer and then when you go into maintenance or just eat like a regular person you will gain weight SO fast you'll wanna die (speaking from personal experience). idk overall that's why i try to eat around 700 cals a day because its sustainable, i rarely ever binge (instead of every 3 days its like once every 1-2 weeks average). also i've said this before but eating a tiny bit every day does wonders for my mood, brain fog is almost never there, i can devote more energy to work and working out... yea!

obviously no shame in ANY e4t1ng d1s0rder game because we're all kinda fucked tbh but i just thought i would throw this opinion out there. also i wanna say that i still do fast sometimes because i like the feeling or if i have an event i wanna look extra thin for, just not every day or every week even.

[dekusleftsock]

Like good omens? Bc the current climate of bkdk is exactly like what happens with Crowley and Aziraphale. EVERYONE, and i mean, EVERYONE around them realizes they love/want each other in the shortest amount of time possible but not the two guys that have known each other for thousands of years, until like, now and they STILL fucked it up.

DUDE YOURE SO FUCKING TRUE FOR THIS

Good Omens is always a show I knew I would love, but never got around to watching. My friend basically made me binge the entirety of season one a week ago and then I binged all of season two when I got home, and MY GOD. MY GOD. THEY ARE SO MUCH LIKE BKDK AND IT SUCKS.

I feel like this is obvious but Good Omens season 2 spoilers lol.

Aziraphale kinda likes to romanticize the time when Crowley was an Angel WITH HIM. The first scene in season 2 where Crowley and Aziraphale first meet and Aziraphale watches him with puppy dog eyes, all of it reminded me of bkdk’s childhood. And from Izuku’s perspective, it was AMAZING! He got Kacchan all to himself, they were friends, even if he was a bit mean and teased him. But to Bakugou? It felt like Izuku was bullying him, looking down on him. It feels a lot like Crowley’s perspective on heaven. He doesn’t like hell either, but at least they don’t care how things get done, just that it’s done.

AND LIKE, AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS I KIND OF SEE IZUKU AND KATSUKI HAVING. Losing your sense of identity in the obsession of the one you love, it fucking happens! There’s this post about Crowley and Aziraphale’s relationship that puts this into words so well, and it feels very them, yk? Bkdk feel so so much like the type of people who could get so attached to each other that they lose what makes them, them.

AND MAYBE THATS A STRETCH, BUT YEVAISBISHSISHSHJSB

When togachako’s relationship is built off of your individual senses of identity (who therefore feel a lot like Maggie and Nina in this equation tbh), and bkdk’s is built off of the fact that you’ve never had a point in your life where this person HADNT existed, then you can see how that can turn into a problem—especially for their relationship.

Bkdk is a slowburn built off of a fear of rejection, much like Crowley and Aziraphale. Because if this person ISNT in your life, then who are you really? What makes you, “you”? What makes us, “us”?

Is there really space for “you”, in a sense of self built on “us”?

ALSO AZIRAPHALE SAYING “I FORGIVE YOU” AFTER THAT KISS BROKE MY FUCKING HEART RVEINSUSVSISBUS

Their miscommunication in both bkdk and in Aziraphale/Crowley is so so bad and yet so so relatable why is it like that good lord.

I think what I liked most about season 2 was when Nina made the comment that “everyone else’s love life always seems so much more straight forward than your own”, AND IF THAT ISNT BKDK/TGCK THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS LMAO

Oh yeah and the coffee theory is dumb. It very much makes sense for Aziraphale to take the offer that he did. He has said time and time again that heaven has the good guys and hell has the bad guys, there’s just individually good and bad people in both. He has always wanted Crowley to be a part of heaven again, he literally always mentions how Crowley “was an Angel once”.

Aziraphale represents the cult-ish mentality that Christianity can be. He wants to believe that there is a higher power that doesn’t agree with the things angels do and don’t do, because if that isn’t the case, then every belief he has ever been told was built on a lie.

Heaven negates it’s flaws by simply believing that there are individually flawed angels and not that the larger system itself is a problem. This is why metatron says this in his meeting with Gabriel and the other high ranking angels. Gabriel cannot fall or there is a systematic problem, and so long as there isn’t a systematic problem, he will simply be dealt with in the cleanest way possible.

It’s all a capitalism metaphor. If Aziraphale is good enough, if he believes in god and her plan, if he believes in the good Crowley has in his heart, if he believes that a fundamentally flawed system can be changed for the better, if you can somehow work hard enough for your company, you will be rewarded. You will be praised. You will be seen as a person who deserves recognition because you worked hard enough.

But you never work hard enough. There is no plan. There is no infinite peak. It’s just you, in an infinite universe, trying to guess some plan that will never be comprehensible.

LOOK IM OF THE BELIEF THAT GOD HAS HAD NO HAND IN ANY OF THIS SINCE THE BEGINNING, EVERYONES JUST MAKING IT THE FUCK UP. 

This got so far off track bc I have good omens brainrot dear god.

A girl I dated at years ago, in a fit of rage, nearly choked me to death because she convinced herself I was sleeping with a male. All because I didn’t want to have sex with her, which is something she knew from the start and was okay with waiting. It was not the first time she had put her hands on me either, but it took her almost ending my life for me to take a hint and stop making excuses for her. At the end of the day, I had no business being with her type or trying to convince myself that I was fit to live in a Set It Off reality (lmao too adventurous and trying to be captain save-a-hoe) She had a history of thug activities, so I take full responsibility for what I got myself into and how I allowed myself to be a victim. This is a gold star lesbian btw and she’s since been to jail several times for beating on females and a multitude of other petty crimes/demonic activities. Last year, she apologized to me (7 years late girl) and admitted that she purposely gets herself sent to jail because she enjoys all of the female attention she gets there as a masculine female. Truly Pathetic and I regret not listening to my mother when she’d literally told me “that girl is a demon and you need to stay away from her.”

that sounds horrible 😭 i’m so sorry u went thru that. especially the fact that she did that to u for not being ready to have sex.. just horrible and gross. i’m glad u stood ur ground and dumped her in the end at least.

i have a similar story with my ex (she’s bi tho) & she was violent for no reason. just seriously mentally unwell basically and the red flags were pretty obvious but i overlooked them bc i guess i just did not see my self-worth. she also choked me and it was literally just. random. she’d wake up and immediately get on top of me and choke me. one time i think she did it as some kind of “joke” and i ended up throwing up bc of it … also she had a few weeks in our relationship where she was basically storing cocaine for dealers at her place & she was stealing cocaine from them and going on cocaine binges which u can imagine how she’d act in those moments if she was trying to kill me when she’s sober! she was on ketamine once and literally bit my friend. just insane stuff. and ppl like that are never worth it nor can u somehow “save” them bc when they’re that bad, they usually don’t care to make themselves better. in my case she even tried to convince me that IM the one who’s worse off.. bc i “cry too much”. also she stole my wallet and when the police said they saw who stole it and described her to a T, she convinced me that she knows who it is and will find this woman and get my wallet and money back. would give me these stories about it too.

also the woman u dated sounds .. desperate tbh! from my experience at least, masculine lesbians don’t need jail to find interested women. they tend to get plenty of attention in general. at least that was the case for basically every masculine lesbian i had a thing with. she must rly have low self-worth and have problems to be putting herself in and out of jail just to get more female attention. i hope she gets better bc i assume she must be miserable if she’s still living like that. i’m glad ur out of that situation and kept urself safe,, it’s rly not worth it to date women like that n to tell urself that you can somehow “save” them,, i learned that the hard way 😭 u deserve better than that. no point in regretting it tho— we can’t undo our pasts, but we can at least use these negative experiences as ways to improve ourselves and teach ourselves somehow. at least that’s what i tell myself to cope with what i’ve been thru lmao,, and at least i can say in terms of my ex, it did teach me to look out for red flags more and not disrespect myself so badly that i’m willing to be abused and exploited and manipulated in the hope of gaining a woman’s love

[captainrayzizuniverse]

Yes! Thank youuuu @goldcrumble for this I truly need it now. I’m sitting in Kelowna waiting for the worst year of my life to be over in the most unremarkable way (binging on paw patrol with my nephew) and what better way to do it than this? Beware, long ass essay incoming. 

When did you become a Louie? (This is about to get loooong)

I love talking about this because it’s such an interesting journey for me compared to other artists I love. I used to watch British reality tv with my grandma every year and that of course includes x-factor and strictly come dancing (and the GBBO, sewing bee, BGT etc..it was unhealthy) which usually start around the same time. We started with x-factor when leona lewis won until the last season with Louis as judge. So yes of course I watched the one with 1D and I was rooting for them during the show (and Louis was my LEAST fav only because I’d watch the xtra factor and the video diaries and he was SO loud and obnoxious and basiclly everything I find annoying in a person. Sorry it was what it was. Anyway after that season I never paid them any attention but we continued watching x-factor year after year. I've mentioned this before but when Louis was announced as the judge in 2018 I remember telling my grandma that it’s probably to draw in the 1D fans because the show was so bad at that point. Obviously I said it with eyes rolled and thinking ‘they really think they’re gonna save this shit with a kid from a boyband?’. Little did I know this guy will ruin me. Anyway as a non fan and someone who really didn’t know anything about the guy I absolutely loved him as a judge..so like a couple of weeks in I read his entire wikipedia and was 100% drinking the ‘reconnected and in love with his long term gf and has a kid with a one night stand from LA’ koolaid. And I listened to his singles at the time, loved them, added them to one of my Anghami playlist and it was chill for a while.

I have never been in a music fandom before..I’ve been in the football fandom (esp livejournal) for ages and also several movies/tv shows and books. I think most of the music I listen to are either from bands who are dead or there just isn’t a fandom big enough to exist…or I haven’t found it. Dunno..just never got into one. SO on a flight from oslo in 2019 I was reading a fic from another fandom and in the author’s note there was something about being inspired by a Larry fic and I vaguely remembered who the Larry ship is about. So when I clicked it and saw that it was THE Louis T, I went into my second rabbit hole and saw all these news singles he has out and an album that was about to come out and a show in Toronto and wow so much excitement all at once. Booked the tickets for the show which were later cancelled due to covid and then never got to see the ltwt live (rip hearing defenceless live). After that I didn’t follow up with him, I didn’t even know lthq was a thing ffs. When people say that they need to promote things on his personal IG, it’s for people like ME! Anyhoo! I still never searched him up on Tumblr until one day by chance I saw a clip from a livestream on instagram of one of his earlier shows in Texas. I didn’t even know concert livestreams were a thing tbh. So I kept on monitoring to find the source until I got to finally watch an entire show (I think it was the 4th American one, a few before the chicken nugget incident) and then somehow that led me to Tumblr and slowly I started following very very few blogs. So when did I become a Louie really? Was it 2018 when I was like ok the dude is cool I like the couple of songs he has out? Or 2019 when I booked my first concert ticket? Or in 2022 when I found the fandom on Tumblr? Also I got into 1D when I read that wiki page and it said something about him having the most writing credits. It intrigued me and was like ‘fine! I’ll give them a go I guess!’

your favourite song? (one off walls and one off fitf)

We Made It. All this time (if you ask tomorrow it might jump between Saturdays or holding onto heartache or she is beauty)

your favourite music video?

Miss you! The hair, the song.

your favourite gig?

Toronto one because I was anticipating it for sooooo long and it fully lived up to it. Esp after spending the entire 2022 watching livestreams and being jealous af. The new york one was good too but my home show will always be my fav

your favourite louis hair?

X-factor hair. 

your favourite louis interview?

Oof man this is hard! They all kinda get mixed together so either a Zach lang one (probably the first one because it sticks in my memory more since I saw it right when it came out) or one of the buzzfeed ones like the snack wars or the one he did with the yellow background (man I’m lazy as shit, I can literally YouTube this).

suit louis or tanktop louis?

Suit Louis. Literally anything but tank top louis. I know I’m the only one in this boat but I just don’t dig tank tops. I think it’s also the fact that he almost always wears hideous shoes with them that kinda kill the look. If I had to be specific, I’d say tracksuit Louis. 

favourite louis tattoo?

I’d also go with the x&o’s 

favourite louis bodypart? (c'mon we all have one!)

I immediately thought his eye crinkles but realized that’s not a body part. Maybe hands or the veiny neck??I love a neck with passionate veins (what even am I saying??)

—-

I think my small Louis loving mutuals have either already done this or have been tagged, so it ends with ME!

And with that I shall wish everyone a genocide free 2024! A free Palestine! And an end to this fucking massacre!

Back to watching Marshall and Skye on PP.

infos about my eating plan:

900-800 calories is high res for me. typically pretty easy to complete.

700-500 calories is medium res. ♡ my favourite!! ♡

anything <500 is low res. i usually don’t restrict like this because it causes Misery™️ and binges.

i regularly do 18 hour fasts, skipping breakfast and lunch for a midday meal and dinner. i do 24 hour fasts at least once a week, and if i’m planning to do >24 hour fasts, i can’t do them back to back because it causes a huge binge when i break it.

Silver Talks AniManga (23/04/23)

another chill week HOWEVER tuesday is a holiday and I got pto for monday AND there's not gonna be a jump issue cause of golden week so I'll some of that extra time to watch at least the first 3 eps (the good ol rule) of some of the anime this season and try to put a dent on all the old "watching" stuff I had from years ago before I start going through the stuff I've missed over the years and before I start my next big manga binge

Anime

Mashle Ep3

it was an alright episode, nothing really to note, I do be liking the voice acting tho (for the most part)

Jigokuraku Ep4

I was right it was very good, takarie going off fr this season with yuzuriha, the megumin spinoff and hoshino ai too

the quality of the anime is still consistent which is good, gabimaru did some cool flashy stuff, tho it annoyed me that the panel with genryuusai's peeled face was only a handful of frames cause it felt like it had a lot more impact in the manga, but I know I'm gonna have to get used to that since it's an anime and all that

Pokemon Horizons Ep3

nothing crazy but still a very nice episode, like I said next time, it just feels like a breath of fresh air to not have ash around, it feels like the anime isn't shackled anymore to the gyms -> championship formula and it can start exploring more stuff. roy is joining the cast next week so I hope he isn't annoying. also I thought it was strange the anime was set in kanto since this is the gen 9 anime but they ARE going to paldea so that's good

Manga

Dandadan Ch102

continuation of vamola's backstory feelsbadman. got to her mech suit tho pog

JOJOLands Ch3

decent chap, not much happened unlike the previous one but that's ok, we got the first stand fight brewing tho so that's good

Jojo: Hol Horse/Josuke Spinoff Ch15

decent chap, good to see hol's character arc throughout the whole manga finally come to it's peak, next chap is the last but it had a nice little run

Tokyo Underworld Ch38

I said some week's ago hirasaka was gonna die and they really filled this chap with red flags for him lol

The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins Ch 22

Jiangshi X Ch13

nothing of note tbh, they're still moping around what happened and not moving on fast enough

Fabricant 100 Ch19

ah, #1 finally showed up so it's finally gearing up for the end, took a bit longer than expected but saw it coming for a while

Kill Blue Ch2

decent chap, with some plot progression at the end, nice to see it progressing already instead of fucking around for too long

Witch Watch Ch106

a good chap, I figured it wouldn't work just like that but it's a good start, doesn't seem like the next chap will continue it since it doesn't say part 1 but would be for moi to realize his feelings already

Cipher Academy Ch21

a good chap, funny seeing nisio just break the 4th wall like this the cover was really cool too and, like usual, I feel bad for the translator having to explain all the code cards

Blue Box Ch98

good chap, even if things didn't go right for poor taiki, I believe in him tho, and with the big 100 around the corner I'm hoping for some development

Tenmaku Cinema Ch3

I really didn't expect her to be so silly from her introduction but it's very good, good chap too and not taking too long with developments either which is always good to see early on, ofc it should be expected from a veteran duo

Mashle Ch153

this is the classic mash we know and love, good chap

Undead Unluck Ch156

good chap, I didn't expect that development at the end but it was about time something didn't go exactly according to fuuko's plan

Sakamoto Days Ch116

good chap, it's cool to see sakamoto get serious once in a while, tho we're prob gonna lose rion soon :(

The Elusive Samurai Ch107

good chap, certainly didn't expect this, but since this happened it prob means we're closer to the end than I thought

Akane-banashi Ch59

GREAT chap, god I love akane she's such a good character, really looking forward to her doing the full story

Ayakashi Triangle Ch127

nice chap, funny to see mei act all tsundere but still helping on her own way

i’ve never seen a full episode of breaking bad or better call saul but i’ve watched pretty much every major scene on youtube and i’ve watched a bunch of video essays and i’ve listened to my partner talk about the shows and like normally i’d be opposed to really popular things that everyone likes but those shows are actually legitimately amazing. i should watch full episodes sometime. but i also wonder how much of the shows i havent seen.

anyway, i would watch better call saul. tbh it seems more interesting to me. 

im not overstating it when i say i've watched probably almost everything there is... at least all the story beats. and i've watched interviews and essays and all sorts of things to connect the dots. everything was pretty much out of order but idk im good at figuring it out. i've never really been good at following things in order like that... i need to just consume the entire breadth of the story at once, you know? i was like that with books back in school and stuff. usually i only actually watch serieses in order after i've either already spoiled every single thing that happens, or i watched it week-by-week as it came out initially and now i can go back and binge it. if i'm watching something from the beginning and i have a question about how something ends up... i will often google it before continuing in the series. i kinda wish i didnt do that one lmao, but whatever, it doesnt actually hurt my enjoyment much. because for me... the number one thing about breaking bad and better call saul is not necessarily the story itself... it's the craft of how it was made. i love the writing and the acting and the directing and so while i've spoiled everythign about the plot.. watching and thinking about those things cant really be spoiled. you know what i mean?

like... a brilliant shot is gonna be brilliant even if i’ve already seen before. and rather than being hooked on the twists and turns of the plot, i like to think critically about the way those twists and turns were executed, how they were led up to and the ramifications afterwards, that sort of thing. i dont need to be surprised by it.

anyway im bad at watching things (and also reading things) and i definitely wouldnt say to anyone that i’ve watched these shows, but i’ve thought a lot about them and i’ve seen most things that people would reference, lol. but i should watch it for real, too. i should do that. just so that i dont have to put an asterisk every time i wanna talk about it, haha

August 15 2024

I finally feel like I’m coming out the other end from the trenches of pregnancy and post partum and of course Finn is so worth it! I’d forgotten how exhausted I was towards the end of my pregnancy with work and then to go straight into post partum with barely any time to nest was so fucking cooked. Even with an uncomplicated birth like mine the recovery has been rough, it’s been almost 8 weeks and I’ve only just stopped bleeding, even then I’m still slightly spotting. My baby blues were horrendous and doing all this sleep deprived was almost impossible. And then poor Finn went through his 6 week growth spurt and had several days of screaming -thank god he’s so much more settled now. The only thing is not being as active and not having as much freedom -however Josh is helping out more that Finn is more settled and he is obviously more confident with him. He really struggled those first few weeks to bond with him and it really worried me, but lately he’s been wanting to hold him so much and interact with him.

I’m so grateful to have gotten to this point in having a baby, no longer worried about whether we will conceive and no longer worried about losing the baby. The best part about post partum is being able to see your baby and knowing he’s breathing and he’s ok. Of course I would love another baby down the line but I am fairly sure that I only want one more because tbh pregnancy, birth and postpartum as much as it’s empowering fucking sucks! It’s weird to say because 2 years ago I was waiting desperately for my period to return and wanted nothing more than to be pregnant but all of it is just so hard -the uncertainty of TTC, anxiety about miscarriage during pregnancy, the birth which fucking hurts lmao and then the horror that is the first two weeks post partum. After everything I went through with losing my period honestly I can only do it once more and that’s just because I would love for Finn to have a sibling and I know Josh would like at least 2. But I am so happy that we don’t have to worry about TTC for probably years! And now I’m breastfeeding and in a good rhythm with it (now that Finn has stopped cluster feeding) I can have a break from fearing that I’ll skip my period because having an irregular cycle is normal with breastfeeding! It could come back tomorrow or when I wean and anything in that range is normal -it’s just so nice to not worry about that for once! And honestly- I kinda want to wait at least a year but more likely 18 months-2yrs before trying again so I can build up capacity to deal with the stress of TTC, pregnancy etc. although now I know what to expect. I’m just so excited to get my body back, even though I think my relationship with food and exercise will be different, but that’s ok!

I’ve realised that I just can’t maintain a healthy relationship with food and go to gym. I don’t like how strength training makes my body look and I think I just don’t enjoy it. I have been loving also going out to eat more with josh and I’m finally confident to mention I’m coeliac to waitstaff!!! I’m still struggling with my body image and on days we’re not out of the house and maybe it’s a challenging day with Finn or he’s contact napping all day I’ll tend to binge and then feel gross. With BF I am STARVING plus poor sleep means sugar cravings and it’s been hard to manage allowing myself to eat whatever but also having boundaries with myself because overeating is also not good for emotion regulation. On these days I think I need to remember it’s not every day I binge and remember mind over matter. But I’m excited to continue with my physio to get back into exercise and hopefully start with some Pilates classes 🥰

I looked up the songs and omg tell me why I got the urge to CRY during Black and white?! That’s such a cute song 😭and you do seem like a lyric girly! From the songs you’ve mentioned in your asks and even the songs for story inspo they tend to have strong lyrics that do seem to give story vibes! But ahh so happy you got see him live! I’m so glad you had a nice time!

Now idk if you ever answered this before but who was your “main guy” when 1D was still active? Did you go through phases or was it just hard to choose?

Not the trauma dump BAHHA it’s okay, I feel like we have all trauma dumped here😂 plus your blog is a very safe space (at least for me) so it’s okay lol but I’m a bit the same too, if I do something I have to personally feel like I gave it my all in order to feel “okay” about it. I think it’s a good quality to have but definitely not great in the long run if not learned how to manage so it’s okay! At least you’re aware of it! I’m also thankful I’ve had other things to obsess over hahah

I love ranting! I will gladly read anything you feel like ranting about lol I don’t have the kindle app on my phone, what I do is I search for free pdf versions of the book I’m looking for whether it be school related or for fun! If I can find it for free, I WILL BC I LOVE A DEAL! And I also use Apple Books depending on the vibe I’m in lol but overall I do prefer a physical book because I just love the whole experience of it!

And yeah it’s 13😭 idk if I’m gonna be able to commit to a full series because I haven’t been able to do that in a long time 😭 I prefer it that way too now! I don’t really have the time or energy to binge anything anymore, it’s very rare when I do it lol I LOVE watching once a week episodes like it’s so fun for me! When Succession was airing, I WAS LIVING FOR IT! It was so fun to see people’s theories/reactions to it and it was great. Plus I also love Drag Race so that is probably the only show I consistently keep up with lol oh don’t even get me started on the whole Part 1/2 thing IM SUCH A HATER OF THAT!!! Like it’s so unnecessary!! Oh and bestie I’m so excited for the next episode bc a great(and hot 🤭) character is coming back and I’m READY!

It’s always the English teachers that are like the best at explaining! My sophomore English teacher really helped me understanding Shakespeare because I just didn’t get it and I also didn’t care enough to get it lol but she made it bearable! She was also like the one who made me feel more confident in my writing skills even though I always did get good feedback, her enthusiasm for me really made me feel nice 🥹 I’m still a Shakespeare hater though 😗

Aww you’re so sweet! I mean tbh I’m still learning if I’m being honest lol I didn’t really know how to have a full on conversation in English till I started kindergarten. I knew some basic words but at home we mainly spoke Spanish. My dad actually started to teach me a bit before I started so I wasn’t completely clueless. My mom taught me a little bit in English too but she was more worried about my brother and I speaking Spanish well so she focused on that. It was okay like I was alway labeled a “smart” kid so I could make things out a bit quicker. Sometimes I would even help translate a bit for other kids who knew less English at an early age too which meant they were mainly my friends lol but mainly later on it was just ironically reading comprehension/ little bit of grammar that I was struggling a bit. It was mainly like American slang/culture references that would confuse me (idk wtf a cup of joe was until like the 3rd grade 😂). And sometimes even writing was difficult because I would only feel like I could properly express me thoughts/feelings in Spanish and sometimes it happens in convos lol and being a first gen/eldest daughter later on i helped my parents understand certain things in English too since i would have a better understanding in some aspects. But overall in terms of just language stuff, it wanst too bad considering I did have help and I was determined to understand things. Plus I’ve always liked learning lol AHH sorry that was so long it probably doesn’t make sense 😭

Omg Sam😭 that is just so sweet of you to say😭 would have loved to have shared a class with you too💗

Ooo yay the beach sounds so fun and idk a shopping trip sounds fun! AND I SUPPORT ANOTHER SILLY ROMANCE BOOK!!! ITS GOOD FOR THE SOUL!!

I actually went to Mexico today! It was to get a massage but not the relaxing kind lol I messed up my neck and leg somehow?? so I went to get it which I’m okay now lol but I did get to eat some food that I’ve been craving so it was a win lol. But other than that I don’t think I have any set plans! I dyed my hair and girl… it’s giving lava girl from that movie shark boy and lava girl 😀 Anyways lol Do you have any plans?

ALSO BESTIE I READ SUNFLOWER ANS LET ME SAY THAT WAS SO CUTE!! Okay im gonna try to keep it short bc I’ve yapped for too long! Okay he is SO ME WHEN LIKING SOMEONE LIKE I LITERALLY CANNOT LOOK AT THEM BAHAH I loved it though, it’s always so cute seeing a shy flustered Harry! A down bad shy guy! And you know I loved that little jealousrry moment give gave just the right amount of angst between them! And SAM DONT GET ME STARTED ON HER NUMBERS POEM! That was so beautifully written! I immediately thought that it was so YOU in the best way and I honestly loved the new perspective on how I view it! It’s was just perfect! Ahhh I would love to see how they turn out if you’re up for it! I loved it!!!! You did great as always my love!-💜

I was actually a Liam girl at the start! My serious line of thinking was "Harry's too popular I'll never have a chance 🤦‍♀️" and he was so cute. Liam also has the dad-vibe of the band and I'm the mom of the friend group so I figured we would be 🤞 But it lasted about two weeks because Harry is just too sweet and perfect. I still love Liam with all my heart. I def go through phases though! Anytime I see a picture of Louis I pretty much fall in love with him again. His voice and lyrics are CRIMINALLY underrated. Zayn is probably the most beautiful man I've ever seen and it lowkey feels illegal to look at him. But Harry and Niall are my main people these days. Old clips of them doing interviews together are hysterical. They're just so funny together. It was def Harry when 1D was active but my bf likes to make fun of me and say I have 5 celebrity crushes.

Free PDF versions is a move. That's how I read the first half of midnight sun when it was leaked 😂 I love a deal too! I def need to do more searching. But I love bookstores and I love holding the new book it's just so nice!

I too do not enjoy long commitment series/binging anymore either (See also: my addictive personality). It's SO much energy and time. I caught up on Grey's Anatomy a few summers ago (I feel like I've mentioned this before) it literally took THE ENTIRE summer. I had stopped watching when I went to college and then I didn't really have great access to cable all the time so I didn't keep up. Then another 8 seasons had come and gone 🤦‍♀️

No it makes so much sense! I heard that dynamic a lot in my education classes when I got my SEI endorsement--a lot of families have the primary language at home and then English in school. I'm truly astounded that you picked up things so quickly. I literally cannot imagine. We have a teacher at our school that works with students coming from other countries/language backgrounds when they arrive and he tells all of us and the students that if there is slang they don't understand he can ask him and it doesn't have to be awkward or uncomfortable and I think it's really nice but it's what came to mind when I read the cup of joe thing HAHAHAHAHA. You got me looking up the origin of why it's called that 😂 I totally just use the phrases I hear now. Especially from my younger students. They get a kick out of me saying "no cap," "period," and "deadass." (I use that one sparingly and usually only repeat it after one of them say it lollll) ALL TO SAY the slang in America is nuts.

I will let you know, I want to write for an hour or so I think and then maybe read for an hour.

JUST CASUALLY GO TO MEXICO OKAY. That's so cool! I've never really traveled anywhere--but to be fair I'm not very close to any other places. I still want to see a lot of places in the US tbh. So am I to presume you live pretty close to Mexico? Do you mean the massage messed up your neck and leg? I always say I want a massage but then someone pointed out it's almost like a workout for your muscles and they can genuinely be sore afterwards. LAVA GIRL I'M SCREAMING. Does that mean you like it? I think either way it's cool you did something different and fun! I also love that you got food that you were craving. We went out for my sisters bday to a Mexican bistro. One of my favorite places. Truthfully, idk how authentic it was but my bf liked it and he would be the first person to say that it was un-authentic.

No plans for the weekend. Just relaxing and catching up on a few things! I started rewatching a show I had stopped watching after season 2 (of 4 total) so I'm hoping to get through that in the next couple weeks!

SO glad you loved Sunflower! I enjoyed writing it a lot! I lowkey wish I took it a little further and made them kiss or something, but that's what Part 2's are for! 😭 You're so sweet about the numbers and everyone really loves a jealousrry moment it seems 😉 💕💕

xoxo

Tw: weight talk, gender dysphoria, unhealthy weight loss talk, dont read if you struggle with food

I want to lose weight again. The way I am right now makes me extremely dysphoric and pushes me to restrict or fast, and I know I shouldnt. Its not healthy and its not okay. So, Im trying to be responsible about my weight loss, but still pursue it. I am currently slightly overweight, so Im not going to go underweight by any means. I just want to look the way I did before. My thighs are so thick and it makes me feel really, really bad, and my belly and back have rolls. My face is too pudgy and I just feel suffocated by myself.

I know it wont make me look like a man and I know I have to take hormones for that to happen, but I just cant stand being in such a womanly body. Its just so wrong, and its difficult to be around others too, because I just keep thinking about how they see me as a woman. Also, I want it to be a bit easier to bind lol.

So Im trying to be consistent with the amount of calories I consume and eat in a deficit. To be honest, the deficit is too big, but I cant help it right now. I will increase it once I see some changes, which should be in a week or so. Im also doing some workouts which is also making me feel better about my body :) I missed strength training to be honest. I did it for many years but stopped when I quit a sport about 2 years ago. And its nice to start feeling strong again. I want to build faith that my body can change before I up my calorie limit. Otherwise, I know Im going to go back into a binge restrict cycle and I really dont want to do that. I feel so peaceful these days and I dont want to ruin it. I need to feel okay at least for a bit to build my hope back up.

Also, Im finally consuming more proteins :D I started drinking protein shakes and they really do make a huuugee difference in my hunger levels, and I also find that my muscles are less sore than they used to be when I trained without eating enough of them. Stupid of me, I know, but I just felt like I would be a fraud if I couldnt build up muscle “naturally” (the fact that I thought eating enough protein would make it unnatural is fucking hilarious to me rn tbh).

Although, protein shakes are so gross!!! Im getting used to the flavour but jesus fucking christ, it tastes like some weird medicine lmao. I get less of that feeling every day though, so I hope that means I will one day be like “oh goodie a protein shake”. Now Im just like “okay dude, you gotta do it. Its not so bad, just chug it” lmao. At least its not bitter 0_0 Otherwise I would really struggle with it lol.

I have some chronic illnesses and whenever one of them starts to physically disable me, I take a suuuper bitter pill, and even then I have to lowkey force myself to do it, even though I know that I will be in a lot of pain if I dont lol.
