next year's resolution is to reach out more & try my best to find communities where i feel like i belong
#reaching out more even if it is online!#lizzie and yenna i was going through our messages :(#i miss talking to uuuu#and just being more present here in general.#now talking irl#i told myself i'd have lots of friends when i moved cities etc.#i have a few from college but i wanted to expand my horizons#but why does it feel so hard to find community?#like i can't think of anything for free that i can genuinely enjoy#and build friendships..

i've decided to buy myself a Fancy Fountain Pen and am pretty sure i've decided on the model but i'm on the fence between these two colours
#eliot posts#note: they have slightly different nibs in these pics but they all come w the same nib options#and no i cannot get them both#fountain pens (at least the ones with calligraphy nibs like i want) are expensive and that just doesn't make sense for my budget#the purple one feels more wizard and the teal one feels more sea hag. both very good things#i already have a feather quill pen that i use to do my calligraphy at home which of course is very Wizard#so do i continue that vibe on the go with a fountain pen that is ALSO wizard (but less wizard)?#or do i expand my horizons with a pen of a different vibe? sea hag in the streets wizard in the sheets?

should i do the kill a character bingo for 2025 with richard. should i try to kill richard maxwell at least 25 times next year. much to consider
#the prompts are SO good and interesting#there are other characters i could do but. idk. i can only kill michael the one time. anymore than that and i'll hate myself#and killing loki feels like overkill at this point#richard just BEGS to be killed. but idk i kind of want to spice things up fic-wise#like am i getting in a rut? do i need to expand my fic horizons?#but to what is the question#(okay richard but in the spn au that lives in my head. thinking thoughts.)#there are also ocs but. meh. i would like them to be readable#aster chat#my fic writing

you know what would be great? a meal prep/recipe email blast. like. every sunday you get an email with a couple recipe suggestions of things you can prep for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and have throughout the whole week. does this exist? am i insane? is this every recipe blog ever? my problem is not with cooking but with thinking of things to cook, so if i just got recommended a couple before i go to the grocery store, i could pick one to try out for the week
#i’m finally getting to the stage in my life where i want to meal prep and be a real adult#i have a few recipes i like and rotate through but they’re getting old#mac n cheese casserole; curry; mediterranean chicken and rice#and i want to expand my horizons#but also i don’t have time. lmao#random thoughts with grace

graaaa being weird in public sorry (on my own blog) teehee
#vent#RAAAAAA does anybodybelse like . Hate a lot of mundane shit in fiction . like just characters being friends or like going to a cafe or like#idk like. going to clothing stores. because i literally cannot do any of that#not even disabled.i just dont have the social skills or confidence or energy every day to do anyrhing outside of my room besides going to#classes. anyway im think about this rlly hard because i read a really normal dbz fic and felt very Othered#LIKE in fiction you dont often see ppl doing everyday stuff. you only see major plot points or fightihg or training or romance or whatever.#its already Out There types of things that ppl dont really do unless they are a main protagonist#as soon as thta character becomes Yeah this is Jessica from my ENG101 class i suddenly feel totally wholly ostracized#imo one of the biggest important things about lit is reading experiences you cant relate to in order to learn and expand your horizons but#but fic isNot lit & i only see 'normal' portrayed in fic because its self indulgent for the author & therefore i see 'normal' as a fic#trope that solely exists to make me feel like a caged animal#i cant even relate to queer experiences because of how deeply closted i am and how ive never ever irl been in a community like that#Rrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#its not like i even WANT to see fic that verbatim recounts my edgy loner isolated lifestyle. Just stop with the starbucks or quaint#breakfast scenes PLEASE#It hurtsowww Nobody tells you this but pain actually really hurts. and everytime you write 'normal' another bunny/kitty is turned intosyrup

Hi Dare,
I saw your recent posts about Baldur's Gate 3 (which I also love but I haven't had nearly the playtime in yet!). I have only dabbled in Baldur's Gate 2 though but frankly it is a very VERY different game. And at this point extraordinarily dated.
However, Larian's other big property: Divinity Original Sin and especially Divinity Original Sin 2 are much more in keeping with how BG3 flows both narratively and mechanically. The only issue is it's not a D&D world and it's not the story of Baldur's Gate you may be looking for. But I highly highly recommend trying the Divinity Original Sin games if you like BG3 and after you've given BG1-2 a chance (I look forward to hearing how you like them!)
I tried playing Divinity Original Sin once and had a strong visceral reaction of hatred, lol.
I played through the tutorial, which featured stilted combat and clunky UI. But the turning point for me came immediately when I got out of the first cave and found myself in front of some town guards. At which point my two characters got into an argument about what to do. One of my characters (the one I was currently controlling) wanted to go with the guardsmen to talk to the wizard. The other wanted to kill the guardsmen for being kind of annoying.
So mechanically what happened was that my two characters played Rock Paper Scissors and I fucking lost (to myself? technically?) so we ended up doing what the Other Character wanted and murdering the guys.
Then the characters had a conversation and apparently decided that that was Pretty Fucked Up and Not Really Necessary. Immediately following that dialogue, the words “+1 compassion” flashed over both character’s heads."
Like, I got no time for an RPG that presents you with decisions and then doesn't even let you make them. And then acts like the decisions you didn't even choose had meaningful consequences in the most asinine way possible.
#also i don't personally care about the D&D setting or their official lore at all#the only reason I want to give Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 a try is that BG3 features characters and references plotlines from those games#so it seems like it would be worth seeing if knowing the additional context would make BG3 even better#but I am well aware that the dated mechanics might be a dealbreaker#I have thus far not enjoyed any classic isometric RPG that I've tried#but I am still attempting to expand my horizons

i have a list of hermits in my Brain that are like. "i really enjoy what ive seen of you in social interactions and im interested but i can Not get my brain to latch to your solo stuff" and it fills me with vague Guilt every day <3
#ive gotten better at it and even added some people who Were on this list to my rotation!#but like. 😭#bc its a lot of the ppl who Arent as popular and i Know That#and its like..... i am all too aware im Part Of The Problem ig jdkslfjakl#idk i KNOW its pointless guilt n i shouldnt feel bad. i have no obligation to watch; im just trying to have fun n neednt moralize it; etc#but. its still there yknow? you know theyre underrated and you Want to do better and expand your horizons and appreciate the work THEY do#but it just.. doesnt Click#it doesnt help that w expanding my povs it means repeating content a lot too#i kind of Struggled catching up some s10 people bc i was like. ugh im gonna have to go thru [x event] Again#so when its also something that doesnt Grab you in the same way the other stuff you've watched its hard to get past that TO the new stuff#idk this is just like. part vent/rant part jus sayin shit#i saw some good crit posts abt the fandom and popularity and all that and it brought it to mind#its also worse depending on how much of a literal hermit they are like. having a partner to speak with adds a Lot for me when watchin

So for a few years my nana has been teetering on the edge of being a hoarder. After some gentle coaxing she’s agreed to let my mom and I help her try to offload some of the excess, and my dad mentioned I’ve had great success selling things online.
Shes agreed to let me start listing things on OfferUp, though she’s said repeatedly that no one will want to pay for any of it.
On Monday I headed over to her place with my mom and diligently measured, photographed and listed a lot of the bigger things that have accumulated on her carport.
Today I sold a garden storage rack, a medium pet crate, a leather storage box, and a cat tree. A lady came to pick up the garden storage and my nana asked, “Did you sell it for five dollars?”
I laughed and said, “No, fifty.”
“Fifty?!” She exclaimed. She puttered into the house as the woman pulled her car up, saying, “You could always bring the price down if she won’t pay.”
“She already agreed to pay that price, that’s why she’s here. The haggling happens before pickup. She thinks it’s worth fifty.”
At each item she is flabbergasted that anyone would pay more than a few dollars. I think because she got so much of it dirt cheap at garage sales she assumes it’s worthless. But the flip side is things that I know will never sell she’s adamant about their value. Some cheap etched glass lamps which are broken she insists I can sell for $10 each. I dutifully listed them but I’m pretty resigned to those ending up in a donation bin.
#ramblies#story#secondhand#she’s letting me keep all the money I make though I offered to take only a percentage#if I can sell enough I’m gonna buy a ps5#cause I want that sweet sweet expanded horizon forbidden west and it didn’t release for the ps4 version#my life
