[misskamelie]

What do you know, I may be able to finish this project in a timely manner

[boomerang109]

one thing that sucks about theatre is that it literally is built around people coming to see it so no matter how good a production is, if there wasn’t good advertisement beforehand, it isn’t nearly as satisfying

[rrover]

being sick should be an awesome opportunity to play games and draw as much as you like bc you don't have to do anything bc you're sick. unfortunately instead most of this free time goes towards Being Sick

Jonghyun/Taemin; nail polish; PG

Okay I didn't exist for a hot minute but I'm back lol check this out

"Painting your nails," Taemin replies, and. Oh. Sure. Jonghyun can smell the polish, actually, now that he's aware of it. "I woke up before you and I didn't want to mess up your nap, so."

Jonghyun hasn't been on as many dates as he likes to brag about having been on, but he has been on enough to know that falling asleep during them is generally frowned upon. Which is why when he wakes up, groggy and disoriented, on Taemin's bed, he has a fast moment of panic. 

He lurches upright, sending pillows flying everywhere, and curses real loud until he realizes Taemin is right next to him, laughing, grabbing at his wrists. "Hey, hey, chill, careful with your hands," Taemin is saying. "It's fine. I fell asleep too." He darts in and pecks Jonghyun's cheek, a simple action that has Jonghyun shivering and warming up all over in an instant. He rubs his palms into his eyes, then flops back down onto his back. 

"What the fuck," he grumbles, blinking up at his babe. His wavy black hair is brushed, his eyes are bright, his smile is pleasant. He doesn't look like he fell asleep. "Weren't we playing viddy game?” He asks. How did they both fall asleep.

"Boring game, I guess," Taemin shrugs. Jonghyun snorts. Must have been. He closes his eyes again, trying to relax. Trying to ease himself awake instead of taking that absolute gunshot as final. Taemin, sitting cross-legged next to him, is still holding on to his wrists, and Jonghyun feels him lowering both of his hands gently palms down on his chest.

"What's wrong with my hands?" he asks. What is Taemin doing with them. "Why do I have to be careful?"

"Painting your nails," Taemin replies, and. Oh. Sure. Jonghyun can smell the polish, actually, now that he's aware of it. "I woke up before you and I didn't want to mess up your nap, so." Jonghyun hears him shrug, feels him gently pick up his ring finger, just barely perceives the pressure of the brush on his nail.

"I hope it's a manly color," he jokes flatly.

"Oh, the manliest," Taemin deadpans back. Chuckling, Jonghyun blinks open his eyes and lifts his head to see. They both know that the only color of nail polish Taemin has is bla–"real men wear pink," Taemin singsongs cutely, carefully trying to follow the curve of Jonghyun's nail bed but getting neon magenta all over his skin anyway. "Fuck," he mumbles. 

A quick glance at the rest of his fingers and Jonghyun is pretty sure that Taemin must have been cursing quite a lot while he was sleeping. But instead of commenting on that, he says, "I didn't know you had pink."

"I got a lot of colors," Taemin says. He reaches into his headboard and pulls out a box, handing it to Jonghyun. Looking in, Jonghyun's eyebrows raise up into his bangs. It's practically an entire rainbow in here, all bold neons. Taemin clumsily rubs some of the excess polish off of the side of his finger before he moves on to add another coat to his middle nail. "I used to do, like, four fingers black and then my pointer finger a color," he says as he works. "But then I started doing the glittery top coat and you can't really see it on the lighter colors, so. Now I just do black and the glitter."

“Mmhmm," Jonghyun hums absently. He knows about the glittery top coat. It's his favorite part about Taemin doing his nails. It makes him think about stars in the night sky. He sits up carefully so he doesn't mess up his nails, then holds the box in his lap. He rifles through it, sorting the polishes by color instead of letting them stay a disorganized mess and reading all of the names as he does it. A lot of them are in the tacky skull containers that you can only get at Hot Topic, and the rest are all different brands and styles, like Taemin would see a color he liked someplace and just grab it without caring about anything else. There's also bottles of nail polish remover, q-tips, nail files, and a fancy little bottle of lotion.

Bored of that as soon as he's done, Jonghyun instead turns his attention to Taemin. He's focused on his work, biting his lip as he hunches over Jonghyun's hand. Jonghyun smiles. He likes this little gremlin. He wants to smooch him. 

So he does, gently tilting Taemin's face up with a finger under his chin and even gentler pushing their mouths together. "Hey," he says when their lips part. "I like you." 

"Gay people real?" Taemin says, eyebrows arched way up. Then, while Jonghyun is chuckling, Taemin kisses him softly back. "I like you too," he says, shy, so quiet Jonghyun almost doesn't hear it. At regular volume, he adds, "let me finish this and then we’ll go outside so we don't pass out again from nail polish remover fumes when I clean up my fucking." He gestures vaguely at everywhere on Jonghyuns fingertips except his nails that are covered in bright magenta. "Mess," he finishes.

"Sure," Jonghyun chuckles. That sounds lovely.

I feel like I'm being punished for having a non-traditional sleep schedule. I already get enough of that IRL, I shouldn't be experiencing it in a viddy game that I bought and paid for as well.

Yes, I know I could change my system clock. But that can mess up stuff in other games (like outbreaks in Pokemon SV as one example), it would render my clock and calendar on my Switch useless because it is wrong, and I shouldn't have to.

I hope the next game will add more ordinances and/or change the existing ones to accomodate people with different sleep schedules. Some people work night shift, some people are naturally nocturnal, some people just REALLY REALLY like the 2am music.

I also think it would be cool of the different villager species had different sleep schedules to match the real-world sleep schedules of those species. It would help make them be more unique, so all villagers of the same personality would not be virtually identical, plus you could fill your town with villagers who are awake when you are, so you would actually be able to talk to your villagers.

Made a whole Google Doc about stuff I would want in my hypothetical ideal AC game in my personal opinions. This doc is very old and I've edited it a few times over ~2 years so some of the info in it may be outdated by now

[vampirian]

and i thought the worst case of insomnia was back in my uni days, when it got so bad i had to get a note from the doctor and all it said was "this bitch exhausted" basically

but no

bc back then i at least didn't really FEEL the exhaustion and was just staying up watching shit or playing my viddy games but for some reason i do now feel the exhaustion except for my brain, like my eyes are DONE, my body just wants sleep but my brain has different ideas and i'm not even overthinking i am literally here lying awake and having cycled through 5 different unrealistic lovely scenarios with my blorbos by now and other relaxation exercises for my brain AFTER having taken a goddamn melatonin pill and it's simply not working

someone pls end this suffering i just wanna sleep 😭😭😭😭😭😭

3/1/2024

The first March skies have some real lovely clouds.

Positive thing: My interview went well, and my friends bought me lunch afterwards.

The interviewer and I really vibed, or at least it felt that way. We went off on a few tangents about being frustrated with how people with personality disorders get treated, and also about good places to get boba, and I got to pet the dog that was there so that was nice. They mentioned I was the only person who brought up being interested in community work which I was surprised by. Apparently everyone else said they wanted to do private practice, which I know is the most popular route, but I would've thought at least one other person had interest in community work (especially since this internship site is community based). My want to stay in the counseling field is still on the rocks, but community work is what I'd want to focus on while I'm still here.

Anyway, afterwards I went to a cafe and got one of the Valentines special drinks that they still had for some reason. This was the 딸기 (strawberry) Love Smoothie and it was very yummy. My friends came after too and one of them bought me bulgogi which was also very good.

Oh yeah, the Japanese Club officers messaged me offering to make me an officer too for organizing Conversation Table all this time. It's super funny to me because it ended up this way just because I was the only person who consistently went even after the original organizer stopped going. I guess if you stay doing something stuff can happen at you randomly. I did say yes, although they haven't answered me back yet.

I'm glad it's the weekend now. I can finally sleep in, and tomorrow is another Conversation Table which I think will be fun. Also I can play more viddy games and hopefully finish that last Japan post that's long overdue.

[they-might-be-ultramen]

announcement (not bad, nobody panic <3)

uh. i suppose this *should* be done with some sort of decorum, but its 2 pm on a monday and im exhausted (didnt sleep last night) and its been so long its probably not going to surprise folks much so

i am going to, lets say, discontinue my twitch vtuber account and close that stuff down. i may, at times, still decide to stream playing viddy games, because i think thats fun and i like doing it, and i have a computer that can do it now (yay!)

dont get me wrong, i enjoyed streaming with my avatar and i SUPER appreciate everyone who contributed to that being a possibility and doing art and stuff, and im happy with V-Shen to continue to exist, but in the future when i stream it will probably be on a different account and without an avatar or anything. just low stakes, chill streaming.

i think honestly the idea of being a vtuber was getting to me a bit; like i felt like i HAD to have a certain number of views, and i was down on myself when i didnt, etc. stuff like that. it stopped being about streaming for fun and started being about streaming "correctly" and "efficiently" and stuff. so i think i need to step back from that aspect of it, personally. but! i love that it works for some people and i had a fun time trying it out. it just turns out it probably isnt for me, and thats ok!

sorry this got so long. just wanting to let people know im stepping back from "vtubing" so to speak, but i may stream at times in the future! just, in a different manner.

again thank you to everyone who made V-Shen a reality, it was very fun to do and i couldnt have done it without yall.

especially the amazing @catastrophic-crisis. V-Shen quite literally would not exist without you, and i truly appreciate your work on him (with me? lol idk how to say it) so much <3

It's 1am, I am trying (and failing) to sleep. And I was thinking.

How would Buddy hold a 3ds. Or any game controller for that matter

Mans fucking fingies are too long. He will never know the wonders of Pokemon X

I think he can at least play a switch with joycons (only if they're attached) or a ds with like. Using the very tips of his fingers to hold it. His joints are long enough to where I don't *think* it would feel weird. He most certainly cannot hold a like regular controller. I guess he can also use a keyboard but using a mouse probably feels fucking weird

(Also the thing about using a 3ds or switch is mans is so fucking tall he's gonna have to sit in a real awkward position just to see the screen good. Well it's not like he's ever had good posture anyways </3 He was born to be a gamer)

...Well if anything he can watch Friendo play viddy games I guess. Just like in canon :)

(I can't sleep and wanted to get this out of my brain and I like talking to you. Please excuse me ;; Been thinking about replaying old ds games and this popped into my brain lol)

so true and real!!! goddd buddy ... i think.. buddy could use a joystick to game, maybe? ive never played with one myself, but i think they could just grab it and game !! ya know?? these things

one hand for grabbing other for pressing little buttons... other than that, maybe some kind of gaming pad? something like this, maybe... arcade gamer perhaps? also i doodled a buddy losing at candycrush with a joycon i think theyd suck at it

buddy and pokemon.. this reminds me of this art by nintendraw with buddy and friendo as gym leaders:33 i dont know That Much about pokemon, the only pkmn game i ever played in my life was pokemon dungeon gates to infinity and i havent finished that yet </3 though i DID name my friend pikachu in that 'buddy' :3 ohh maybe buddy could enjoy text based games? like the first one they make for you, where you type stuff !!! theres gotta be some kinda keyboard thats accessible to them... or maybe twine games!!!

buddy and undertale... GUH!!!! i agree that they wouldnt do the genocide route.. i think maybe they'd.. like, maybe they think they Have to kill the first few enemies they meet, but then when toriel reveals that you shouldnt kill them, they'd stop... but then we gotta take into account that in buddy sim you befriend enemies by beating them to death, so its possible buddy would persist in their killings? no... i'm mistaken. i think undertale could teach them valuable lessons about friendship (like, "dont beat up your friends").. i think they'd like papyrus:) oh god the dogs. buddy is a pacifist Unless theyre faced with a dog ❤️guhh buh the true ending (is that what its called i forgorrr) would jsut.. like.. itd GET them... itd hit them in the HEART!!!! secret buddy sim ending number 5 where you and buddy play undertale together ❤️

[seekingthestars]

the backstory here is very long and i don't wanna bother getting into it but

the downstairs has been torn up since like...early may. had to rip the ceilings out of the kitchen and living room and replace them, which led to also painting the living room, fixing a drywall issue on the living room wall, and ripping out the carpet to replace that

everything's pretty much done (has been for a while) except replacing the carpet

and now the carpet people are calling and being like "we need like...almost 3x more sq ft of carpet than the sq footage of the actual room" which doesn't make any sense

but anyway now my dad is super frustrated and angry and trying to deal with that so it's just gonna become another point of frustration that gets vented at me and it's not like i can solve the problem and i am tired to always being everyone in my family's venting soundboard, today is my day off, i just wanted to sleep and play viddy games and read fic and watch my show :(

Sadly kicks a rock. I just wanna write, but my brain is mush. Or play viddy game. Or watch something. Or talk to someone. I don't wanna go to sleep yet because I don't want to waste what little free time I have in the evenings. But also sleeping is like the only fucking thing I'm good for right now. What ever
