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?

If you’re wondering I was not going to reblog any Life Series fanart until I was done watching all seasons. But then. Uh. The Roomies™

#I’m so serious about this I finished watching Secret Life yesterday and they fully possessed me #watched Etho’s POV. immediately went back to watch Grian’s POV??? Cleo next maybe?????#though this also has to do with the fact that I fully do not know which Wild Life POV to watch #if any of my life mutuals are curious/have any suggestions:#I’ve watched Martyn’s 3rd life POV. Cleo’s Last Life POV. Pearl’s Double Life POV #back to Martyn for Limited Life. and now Etho’s + Grian’s Secret Life POVs #but I really don’t have strong opinions on who to watch now??? want to expand my horizons but also kinda don’t #I’d like to see more of like. BigB Lizzie Gem Mumbo. maybe Tango?#maybe ren too?? heard there was some good treebark food in there but I’ve watched his first ep and wasn’t too fazed?#but also I’ve spoiled myself the teams (and winner) and I really liked the three Gs in Last Life I wouldn’t mind seeing more of them…#maybe I should just switch POVs between episodes idk #<- indecisive ass when decision

*An asterisk denotes a reread. **Two asterisks denote an ARC.

#reading thread #talking to strangers #four books in already!!! i have set a relatively low goal for myself (30 books) because my goals are less numerical and #more about expanding my horizons / reading genres i usually don't / reading books that have been on my tbr for a long time #i'm off to a strong start for the year but i also know i tend to start off really well and then slump hard a few times later on #so we will see how it goes! anyway my thoughts on my first 4 books #i always start my year off with a reread of an old favorite so i know i'm starting with a 5 star read <3 hence the roger ackroyd reread #now not to brag or anything but i figured out who the murderer was the very first time i read roger ackroyd...#still absolutely diabolical though. second greatest mystery novel of all time (orient express will always win first place)#winter hours was good! very thought provoking and really made me want to write which is always great #the bear and the nightingale!!! i really enjoyed it and yes i did cry. i got the sequel from the library yesterday hehe #moon of the crusted snow was alright! i liked it a lot more conceptually than i did in practice tbh #anyway <3333 happy reading in 2025 besties!!!!

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

*draws something for the first time in a while. “Man I suck at drawing! Maybe go back to being good at it if I draw more!”

*doesn’t draw

“Oh I got a neat idea for a drawing! Surely I have gotten better by now!” Loop post

#this revelation brought to you by the one and only #midnight brainrot #probably could not of put these things together without the malaise of a mind awake at 3 am again despite saying that they’re ”trying to fix #their sleep schedule ~”#bah. I say things yet never do them. my brain always blocks any sort of progress with ”just one more video”#even fun and enjoyment bends the knee to this declaration #even other YouTube videos!#when I do break it I end up back where I was because like asking for literally anything my brain does so much pushback that it feels #inherently wrong on a fundamental level #I don’t think I’m depressed I like life too much and enjoy existence #is this my brain punishing me for not dying before reaching adulthood like I always thought I would? or is it punishment for not constantly #going from the end of high school to another school like I planned because my purpose in life was to learn and go to school until I die #now I am left without purpose. literally wandering my house like a ghost when no one’s home #I say the two same things to my brother when he gets home so much that he once made a joke about me being an npc #and the worse part is. it wasn’t about that dumb TikTok brainrot meme thing. no it was because I say the exact same things the exact same wa #y every time he gets home. worse more is I can think of several other ways that that statement could be more accurate that he doesn’t know a #bout #I wish to game but never do #I want to make art and such but I never do #I went to an art class for years when I was a kid for Pete’s sake!#my parents complain about my hair being too long and I agree but I still want it long I just always kept it short because of simple ma #maintenance. the only reason I ever grew it out was to keep warm I. the winter!#I spent my childhood with self imposed utilitarianism for no reason #no reason to expand my horizons and explore myself because I thought of myself as a lesser being that was fated to die randomly before #I could reproduce.#oh my goodness the reproduction thing! I thought I was straight for the longest time because I had to be #because the purpose of a person is to reproduce. yet I was all like”I can’t reproduce as I am autistic and would taint my offspring. I am a #genetic dead end and deserve to have the effect of natural selection take place”#through tv show mimicry and being a utilitarian little git I forced myself to be straight for years #and the worse part is I KNEW GAY PEOPLE EXISTED AND I ENVYED THEM FOR NOT HAVING TO REPRODUCE OH MY GOD IS THIS WHAT KARKAT FELT LIKE? NO I

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
