TW: Addiction

click >here< to view the list, pls ask more (▰˘◡˘▰)

okokokok...... so let me just... hehehuhuhe. okay. so. let me start with the heavy hitter.

11. Does Mara have any addictions?

Yes, so let me start with saying.... she hates water, unless it's real water, but until recently, that wasn't a luxury she could afford. Coffee all day, she gets off work switches to beer til bed. So yes, she is a bit of an alcoholic? however, she's able to keep it professional, the only times she ever seemed a little unprofessional is the few times she's gotten a bit to wild at the clubs.

She may or may not have an addiction to SynthCoke? She will deny it, say it's what helps her get up in the morning and ready for her run considering the last few months she's been ran ragged living a double life. The tax of working full time at the clinic Blue Remedies Health Clinic with an influx of patients coming into the area, a rippling affect from the Megabuilding 10's clinic and pharmacy closing, and on the weekends, or shit sometimes during the week, she'd have to go do gigs with NIGHT RAID or mooking around her neighborhood with J I H Z Z Y clearing out Valentinos from her turf ending their harassment in the area. All while trying to duck her best friend and co-owner of the clinic, so he doesnt find out who Panthera really is. (he knew lol). Gotta have something to take the edge off.

And... Well.. Lets be real here, since its you and me anon. The worst addiction Mara has, was one I did not expect. It's one that is ruining her life, it's one that plagues her mind, the one driving her to a fate worse than death. Mara's real addiction is for cyberware. Pushing herself beyond her limits and the pursuit of power is really the true killer here. See.. Mara has promised herself to Maxtac, who want to recruit her for the C-Swat, under certain conditions. However.. If she goes cyberpsycho before her brother is taken out of cryostasis, she will be captured, and chipped against her will. She will have lost all her freedom, I will have lost her until rescued if that was possible? OH MY GODDDDDD, I AM IN LOVE WITH THAT IDEA!!!

It's pretty heart breaking to think that I've already came close to losing Mara, witnessing Jack's death dropped her humanity down to 1 humanity point, I had lost the MAX i could lose from a traumatic event..... If Mara hadn't gone to therapy after installing that borgware. *phew* tysm jihzzybby. he pushed her to go.

13. Does Mara like Poetry?

Yes, she does. I wouldn't say she goes out of her way to read it, but from time to time on her smoke break she might look for something that fits her mood, which lets be real, was pretty moody most the time. Feeling of isolation, though she was surrounded by more people in her life than ever.

TYSM FOR ASKING!!! AAAHHHHHHH!

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

[tears-of-taelia]

This day still terrifies me. To my core. With the strange weather that happened before, I expected something to occur. I could have never predicted the magnitude of that event. I assume you're here to wake me up then? You want us to face that evil again? I'm… We're afraid... Of everything. Of everyone. I don't know what I'm supposed to do! WE DON'T WANT TO GO BACK!

Apr 11, Xi'an, China

I made a mistake with the dates on the prev two posts, I went to Beilin Museum on the 11th, not the 10th......I think it's because my phone was still stuck in NA time, which would explain why my phone thought those pictures were taken on the 10th.

Anyway, a random doorway in an alley in Xi'an that looks very traditional:

Traditional embroidery painting sold on the street. There were artisans, painters, calligraphers, and seal-crafters selling commissions in stalls. I couldn't think of a cool phrase for a commission, so I didn't spend any money there. This was one of my biggest regrets from this trip lol

Stuff from a souvenir shop, I thought these little monk figurines were cute

modern family is all fun and games until you get to the scenes where you burst into tears because the once-vaguely homophobic dad now refers to his son's husband as family, and also the academically gifted daughter realizes that her dorky, clumsy dad was always really proud of her and just never surprised because he just assumed she could do anything, and also the eldest daughter who eloped comes crawling back to her parents' room and whispers that she still wants her parents to be present for her wedding, and also the anxious queer lawyer character admits that he was terrified that his husband would just leave him alone with their baby daughter, and also that the once-vaguely grouchy dad looks at his stepson and tells him that what makes a family is who sticks around, not who you're blood-related to and anyways what was i saying

Books of 2024: ALWAYS COMING HOME by Ursula K. Le Guin.

The people have Spoken, so I'll be reading this 618-page brick next! The cover page credits the author, an artist, a composer, a geomancer (??), and the author of the intro, so. I suspect I'm in for a Ride™. I am both Excited and Intimidated--will report back on how this goes!

cw pet death under the cut

Well, I guess I largely vanished for the past couple of days for some people. We unexpectedly lost two of our ratties, one of which was one I had a close bond with, so that sure knocked me out for a day. I've been taking care of one of our little old ladies, Sammy, and we expected she would leave us fairly soon, but we lost Willow and Abbie within just a couple of days of each other instead. Have some cute photos of baby abbie and willow since they were Very Loved and had happy lives. Baby Abbie! When we saw how tiny she was (stunted growth, runt) and her little broken tail we had to take her home with us... somehow, miraculously, she could still move the whole tail! It's a mystery how it broke in the first place, and no one knew when we got her. We never had it amputated since it wasn't causing her any distress, and it just over time came to look like a little pikachu tail to us. She was my little heart rat and was glued to me near constantly.

all growed up button:

"FOUL TARNISHED...." And baby Willow!!

So cute in her pot pie the incredibly sweet /sadcute photos of her mommy, Bonnie (still with us!) protecting her the day we adopted them. They were adopted together due to their previous owners having to move and not being able to keep them. Bonnie was convinced we were going to steal her baby, so she kept sitting on her like this:

Willow was curious and wanted to make friends faster than Bonnie wanted, but Bonnie warmed up and finally stopped guarding so heavily. Part of her warming up included her adopting me, so uh... rat mom? She treats me like a baby rat. Mom, I'm a full grown Rat, thank you. Willow was ***fascinated*** sitting and watching Resident Evil 4. She sat through the whole game and any time a loud noise would happen she'd ZOOP back into a sleeve...then poke back out, ears perked and whiskers going. She did the same thing last christmas when we opened presents, so RE4 gets called "CHRISTMAS 4" in our house. also to the other ratty keepers out there, don't worry, the little cage is only a nursery/hospital cage and playtime cage, they lived in a giant critter nation with lots of friends. Anyway, I'm a little sad still so I wanted to share some cute photos and celebrate them instead. We're probably going to be looking around at the local breeders to see if anyone has any baby girls ready for adoption.

I was about to start throwing plates because even though hours have passed, the messages on my deco my tree just wouldn't load and in all honesty I was looking forward to reading those more than getting my christmas presents. But looks like making an account on another sketchy website that was linked on that already also sketchy website did give me access to the messages finally. The only problem is that i can't see who they're from but also they seem to be chronological so I think I can figure it out lol. So after some frustrations i can finally say that i have read them and they were really sweet and nice.... so, thank you friends!!!!! 💝 I hope your holidays were great too. And moral of the story is don't trust random websites like these with something that's sort of personal to you idk

if scars don't make man look good then being alive sure does

[leatherbookmark]

Huh... just connected the dots between my soul-crushing shame and inability to imagine myself "carelessly having fun" without feeling a Heavy Judging Gaze That Thinks I'm Such A Funny Stupid Little Baby on myself and like... my parents finding it the funniest thing in the world, worth bringing up over and over despite my discomfort, that I used to bob funnily to the music as a toddler

one odd thing about going deeper is that I'm no longer satisfied with shallower. and that's, weirdly enough, a net positive. I've self harmed - eh, twice? in the last month. both were well into the criteria that should have got sutures and ignored it; suspect I hit a vein once and was extremely close to muscle, which feels kind of odd. yeah, it's ramped up; yeah, there's a lot of blood and all that kind of stuff. very high risk of infection, potential nerve damage and all that kind of stuff (though I have not got either of them; I scared off an infection that wanted to hang round by chucking quantities of alcohol on it). but at the same time. that's only twice. that's a lot better than previously.

[icewindandboringhorror]

Apparently I can meet my goal of roughly 400,000 words in 6 months if I just somehow write at least 2,200 words a day ghbjh... Almost 2,500 today... huzzah...
