i stopped using this blog like 4 years ago bc i became less catastrophically depressed and also i felt that after my last major breakup i was using it in a really self destructive & self flagellating way, & i pretty much stopped using twitter like a year ago too because i could feel myself becoming a certified Boyfriend Girl and it was annoying. and i haven’t been journaling for a few years either. idk why, i think maybe bc i was just sick of thinking & talking about myself. i haven’t been in therapy or taken any medication in like 3 years either. idk, i’ve just been trying to live my life & it’s mostly been working. i don’t live with my mom anymore. i have a really wonderful partner and we’re very in love, & it’s been two years & i haven’t done anything to blow it up yet. i have a semi-grownup job that i make like zero money at & i’m way too emotionally entangled with, but it doesn’t make me want to kill myself, so it beats making lattes. i still feel a white hot lance of panic in my brain when i think about the future, but there’s nothing i can really do about that. i’m like a “normal” weight now, which upsets me if i actually think about it, so mostly i just lock that part of my brain in a cage and call it a day. idk. maybe that’s “recovery” maybe i’m just being a coward about it. i feel a lot of guilt bc i used to pay attention to the world and what was happening in it, & i had a lot of opinions about justice and fairness and the fate of humanity, and now i pretty much just play d&d and listen to podcasts of other people playing d&d. i only want to listen to the same albums and watch the same movies i already like. i think i should probably make new friends bc all my old ones keep moving away, but the thought of doing that makes me really tired. i’m only 27 which feels too young for my personality and interests to become this fossilized.
& i know this all sounds like complaining, but i’m mostly pretty happy these days. things are more good than bad.
idk why i felt the need to write this all out, i think i’ve just been feeling like… intellectually flat these days. like i used to spend a lot more time thinking about. uh everything i guess. i feel like i sacrificed my interest and curiosity for the world in exchange for being less miserable and it worked but now i’m kind of bored.
i really don’t know what the point of this is!
i guess if you’re out there, so am i, & i hope you’re doing well.

oh yea.. its all coming together
#now i just have to code the stupid thing#idk why my brain is procrastinating thatpart bc once i get started its pretty smooth from there. i just Dont Wanna#i mean i guess i could make the graphics before actually coding it but i should probably do the code first#i need extra time to make sure everything is laid out the way i want it before i start decorating ugh#i know theres a way to like hide and show an element without redirecting to another page so it doesnt have to reload all the time#but i cant remember how to do it..... i wanna use that for my journal entries so i dont have to manually update the entries section#each time i post a new journal entry. either that or i can have smth that lets me change the content without opening the html#all pages should link back to the homepage cuz i wanna keep the nav in one place..#cursor should have a neutral and hover sprite which should be easy.. and i was thinking of using dither me this for images#to give it an old win98 effect + the vhs overlay#yapping#diary#wip#oh shit and i need to make smth to redirect to the oc hub

don’t let me reread because i saw this
and an image of reynevan pleading innocent like the crying cat meme flashed across my mind
#szarlej: if the sorcerer does not fit you must acquit!!#you know we were robbed of a scene where szarlej pretends to be reynevan’s lawyer? that should have happened at least once#what is with bandits robbing tax collectors in sapkowski’s novels??#you know of all the get rich quick schemes out there robbing a tax collector has REALLY dropped off in terms of popularity#i guess this is what happens when you study foreign trade - economics and then have an interest in medieval history#im still like omg. raubritters were a thing you didnt just make that up? that’s fucked up. but cool that it wasn’t made up. but fucked up#and it’s literally raub + ritter. obvious german should be obvious#the first is a cognate and the second i know from rittersporne which guess how i know that 🙄#anyways…#you know… if angoulême still had friends around there’s a less than zero chance they would have tried to jump regis#he would hear it coming from a mile away (… maybe literally) and just disappear around a street corner#or… hide under a rock… like canonically. honestly still not sure why he did that.#ITS THE FULL MOON. YOU CAN FLY#regis answer = ‘idk… i got scared 😥😥…’#honestly interesting conundrum because too many ideas i have seen are like ‘someone tries to fuck with a vampire they get ripped to shreds’#which ok wish fulfillment i get it but#consider that 1. regis is nonviolent and would likely put someone to sleep over kill them#2. they are teenage hooligans 3. he understands teenager hooliganism#honestly he would pacify them and then while their eyes are empty he would just be like giving some solid life advice#bandits: standing with head drooped. probably drooling on themselves | regis: sounding like a turn your life around podcast#the elbow-high diaries#not even interesting post sorry just totally ramble nonsense here

#I think I've been using Bamenzolena most probably?#but sometimes I know I've said Bonlenamenzo too#I just now came up with the other two because I was trying to work through every conceivable iteration#I think Bonnie is first in most of her ship names and of course Bamenzo is the established term for the ot3 I'm meddling with#in a sense. I mean this isn't solely me meddling with Bamenzo. it's also me playing with “I love you like Elena loves you”#and it's also me wanting Delena and Denzo and Bonenzo to all exist at once too#I've never written an ot4 before. I've done some ot3 stuff‚ mostly spuffel. it's interesting‚ trying to balance all the characters#I'm not very far with it yet but here is a poll to make me think about it more :)#I should tag all the branches of ships#delena#denzo#bamon#bonenzo#bonlena#is there even a ship name for Elena/Enzo? I think there the farthest flung ship in the square tbh#bamenzo#I love making up funky words from too many people's names lol#the Vampire Diaries#tvd#shipping nonsense#also a way to lowkey advertise this fic I'm unlikely to ever finish lol. motivate me ;)#idk if anybody but me would be into this. not sure there's a lot of overlap in delena shippers and bamenzo shippers. but here I be :)#Bonnie Bennett#shoot I'm out of tags anyways vote now!#Elena Gilbert#Damon Salvatore#enzo st. john#there I deleted some so I could get all the characters on here lol#even in the tags i ramble

I hate “love at first sight” or like instant infatuation in most cases but I think it’s a trope that CAN be done super well it just rarely is. there’s nothing exciting or interesting about two hot people who see each other & instantly fall in love all by itself nonsensically like idk I just don’t believe in that & find it dull. but there’s a way to do it where it’s like “YEAH that makes perfect sense” like two people who suffered something brief but absolutely insane together & can never let go of the thought of one another or someone who saw someone else do something crazy or really fucking cool or stupid & can’t let it go or someone totally isolated who’s decided to make the first person they’ve interacted with or who helped free them into this total savior who walks on water like it CAN be such a neat trope you just gotta sell it right.
#romance#I like to think I did it well with azula & katara in scream au#I mean they had seen each other before they went to the same school they just didn’t think about each other before That Night#it’s probably the only time I’ll write that instant infatuation for them#instant obsession sure but the romance should typically be slowburn for Azutara imo#anyway what this is actually about is my original WIP#I think Alice’s instant obsession with Nick makes perfect sense#given she’s a hopeless romantic & he’s a hot guy & the first person who’s not her sibling that she’s interacts with in 30 years#& he’s a journalist who’s parents just died of course he’s instantly obsessed with the beautiful ghost girl who proves#theres life beyond death & also introduces him to an intricate mystery that gets his investigative blood flowing#stairway#I need to post about this project even if only like 2 of you are reading it#it keeps me myself invested ok#this blog is really just a diary

looking up on bitch google how to casually compliment friends
#sage’s diary#013#12/18/2024#i think it’s because of the way my brain is fucked with percieving affection#(thanks to the hypersexuality of course)#im so scared to accidentally make someone uncomfortable or get the wrong idea from giving them a compliment#wish i could get over it but aaahgh!!!!!! im never winning the idgaf war……..#i just wanna be able to tell a friend i think he’s good looking. or that their laugh is cute. or even her face being pretty#idk man im probably thinking too hard about it n i should just stop caring so much#i got more packing due in the morning I can’t be staying up thinking like this

just reflecting today on the 7th poured drink tonight and recalling how when i was venting to my co-workers about yesterday and the panic attack i had and all that, she mentioned how I needed more help when I was drowning and i swear to you the immediate thing that came to mind when she said that was alan wake
#i haven't really made many drowning gifs have i#also i feel bad cause like. god#this is so stupid and convoluted and part of the guilt i'm carrying right now#our customer service department ended up being the straw that broke my back and made me have that panic attack/meltdown yesterday#and i try#i TRY SO HARD to have some empathy towards them cause i mean#they're the ones getting basically abused by our customers#and it hurts so much to me that i can't be more help#and specifically the situation yesterday was me having to jump in and finish something that idk took me all of ten minutes to do#after i asked for some forklift assistance that took maybe like half an hour#but i had asked my employees to get that done *last week* and they couldn't do it#and the poor customer service rep had to escalate it to the director of sales which she flaunted in myf ace#and i felt terrible when i snapped and said 'ok i'll drop everything i'm doing to help you'#when i did legit have a million other things i needed to do#i'm honest to god tempted to rate myself as unsuccessful this year just cause like#i've been having to do my own employee's jobs which is also my fault for maybe not being firm like i need to be#but anyway her saying how i was drowning of course made me think of alan which honestly made me feel a little better#cause i mean it's like nick right#if alan could get out of the dark place even though it took him 13 years maybe i can too#and also inspiring in the way that like. alan needed help and i probably need help too#i've gone to therapy twice once in person and once online and like nick it's just...#not my thing#but something both therapists seemed to concur upon was that my support system isn't the best and i also need to work on myself#and love myself and lmao that's soooooo much easier said than done#but anyway i'm sorry i should get a real diary or somethin but#something about the formatting of tagging like this is weirdly comforting

there's so much manga i have to read it's unreal 😭
#for physicals i have 13 volumes of yona of the dawn. all of the rose of versailles. the first volume of the illustrated guide to monster#girls. and i need to reread tbhk or at least the first volume bc i told one of my kids at work that i'd let him read it while he's at the#program and i need to brush up on it bc it's been over a year.#and then for manga i don't have physicals of. i desperately need to reread and then catch up on kuro. considering everything the fact that#don't own the full series is a miracle probably prompted by how much my parents hated it up until the last few months when they suddenly#chilled tf out. i should get caught up on yuri is my job and finish killer in love. also i've sat down to read cocoon intertwined like 24#times and gotten distracted and didn't every single one. i've been meaning to reread ohshc and pick up kamisama kiss. fruits basket.#vampire knight. nana. the apothecary diaries and chainsaw man. and i should give goodnight punpun a proper read too#then there's all of clamp's works in release order bc i have two volumes of tsubasa but haven't touched them bc i need to go in#release order or i'll die. and now that i think about it i'm really behind on oshi no ko#+ i have a full google doc of manga i need to get too and this is just what i can think of off the top of my head so god knows#what else is in there#romeo.txt

I HATE APPLYING TO COLLEGE. I finished (I think) my personal statement and it's like fine. It's about my love for Korean literature and then the overall message is that I value intellectual curiosity and obsession (in like normal way. haha.) but i'm froze in my place and going crazy over the fact that my sat is a 1500 so 10 points lower than the my #1 school's alleged (ALLEGED. BECAUSE THEY DONT RELEASE ANY OF THEIR INFO) average score.... (which clearly isn't there average score bc of the Evil test optionals). but!! my sat score is 600+ points higher than my school's avg. (and also, idk how they're gonna weight scores given that the whole sat changed) and even though I am Asian I also go to a severely underfunded school in Maine (my #1 school is in the midwest, according to my calculations (aka instagram stalking) only about 4 ppl from my entire state attend the school each year). and I'm applying for east Asian studies aka major nobody wants do to (yay!) but the other people applying for that are likely insanely intelligent international school impossibly rich international students (BOOOOOO!). but perhaps it's time to give a mixed race girl from Maine a chance huh. my ecs are good I believe and certainly very very unique most of them anyway. I have a clear spike for my major. it's also clear I'm not a loser nerd bc of my letters of rec (hopefully) and the fact I'm top 5 in athletics in the state for my event. [school] LET ME INNNNN LET ME INNNNNN
#diary#to beee honest I don't even need to get in to my Ed just! somewhere on my favorite list!!!#I wont do a chance me on Reddit though they will probably tell me i'm community college bound#I will not lie. I think test optional is terrible#colleges should either required SAT/act or be blind I'm sick of the optionals inflating schools avg scores

not to be mentally ill but today when i went for a walk in a nature reserve i was climbing a hill and it was cold but so so sunny and everything looked beautiful and i saw so many cool things and i stood there and was like damn what's this feeling in my chest and why am i smiling so much?? my guy,, it's called fucking happiness. i was just present and content in the moment and couldn't contain myself so kept doing the silly arm shake thing i do and grinning at everything and then was like woah what's this feeling. fuckin, happiness dude.
#think the arm shake thing might be stimming (??) i referred to it as pogging and was informed that i've been using that word incorrectly#but yeah stimming ig#the arm shakes!! we all know them...#anyway do you ever get the feeling that other people experience happiness differently to you?#idk last week i was v depressed and now ive had a couple days in a row where ive been giggling with people and ive been cuddled and kissed#and today i took myself off on a walk and i was so so happy and then as i was walking back to my car#i had the gut wrenching feeling that i needed to text my parents that i'd been outside and had a good day and saw multiple cool animals#and that i loved them. because i suddenly got really worried that i would die on the way home and no one would know i'd been really happy??#even though id literally sent my bestie loads of photos and texts and a literal voice note while staring at a robin lol#anyway and then i was floored by the realisation that i carely deeply about whether i died or not#because i was pmsing last week and that is a terrible time for me and i end up being kind of passively suicidal ig#so to have such a big change in the space of a week was a huge shock#these tags are sooo incoherent and span so many emotions#i promise i've had a really lovely day. i just am anxious all the time and depressed sometimes#in a way that is harder to predict now my periods have stopped.#im realising this is the kind of stuff that should probably go in my diary but i've got this far with the tags that i can't be asked.#if anyone is still reading#you do not have to respond to this or like it in any way. i promise lol

I’m worried that i am a child and that is all i shall be for the future. I feel small and like I comprehend nothing and like I mean nothing and everyone else is growing around me and becoming actual cool people who do mythical things and I’m stagnating and I’m never going to improve. I feel like a child left at home alone while the rest of the family goes to a party. And I don’t know how to deal with my deep, childish uncoolness
I forgot to take my Zoloft this morning but that’s unrelated
#ramblings#Tumblr is a diary to me#i think I just need to get this out somewhere#all of my friends are out drinking I think#im just here chilling. I don’t drink so they probably don’t hate me just don’t want me to be uncomfortable#but sometimes I feel like they look at me and see a child and an idiot#i don’t know if the people around me like me or if I’m some tolerable joke everyone gets a kick out of making fun of#maybe I should go to bed#personal

i get it i get it i really get it but also it's very frustrating when a work of fiction raises you expectations, makes you thrilled for The Big Confrontation, and then the next post-clifhanger installment comes and it goes "after everything was over,"
#shrimp thoughts#this is sponsored by the abysmal atz diary story that makes me legit CONFLICTED because the diary ver is now my favourite#but also it contains the diaries (deeply unfavourite (annoying (i don't want to throw the photobook but i'm scared i might)))#but also i've read some fics that did this and as i said I GET IT a fic is for fun and not for Achieving Perfection. and also being great a#writing yearning or suspense doesn't automatically being great (or comfortable!) with writing confessions/fights#i personally love to leave my fics 'unfinished' in that they don't end with a conclusive state of things but like. in media res so to speak#i do enjoy that discomfort of not knowing what happens or IF it happens. i also enjoy making things Not Happen (characters being#passive and confused and just Not Doing Things they 'should' do because they don't know how/are afraid)#even though i know it probably seems terribly pretentious/cheap to better writers#that being said. there are stories that just... by themselves make a reader envision and anticipate The Great Thing and it's... not great a#all when it simply doesn't happen/is glossed over#idk man i am but an armchair-dwelling whiner
