Blah blah blah blah

A friend and I were talking about songs and one of them inspired me to draw this

Hope everyone is doing well 🫶🏼

Weekend Update 01/28/2024

Nerdie! The end of the month is coming up.

I know! It's like the new year just started and already we're almost into February. What happened? Do we even know?

Time is a contract Nerdie, is it even real?

Pretty sure it is....You're the one acting weird this week.

Matching your energy. What's new this week?

I'm precepting at work again. They're an experienced nurse so I haven't had much to do, it's more teaching the different assessments and workflow. And writing. 🤓

I posted a little, started more WIPs. I'm really trying to focus and finish some that I feel I'm running behind on.

Don't know what you mean - Tim Rockford

Roc & Doc poll for the next missing item

I sure know how to pick 'em - Frankie Morales (check warnings at the top of each chapter - heavy subjects)

Whip it out Whiskey - Agent Whiskey/Jack Daniels (part of @iamasaddie 's writing challenge) It was fun! Writing Challenge Masterlist for everyone’s fics as part of the challenge.

I'm also updating more character and series masterlists. There should be actual chapters to go with these soon. 😚

That's quite a bit....

Yeah it is. This was my reading this week:

To the Flame - Chapter 3 by @pedroshotwifey

Yours and Mine, Mine and Yours by @morallyinept

Blue by @fhatbhabie

plus-size valentine by @toxic-seduction

Amor Eternal by @fhatbhabie

The Unknown Regions by @drawingdroid

For lifetimes of missing each other by @tinytinymenace

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps - Chapter 4 by @soft-girl-musings

The Nebbie Files - Chapter 1 "Aren't you a secretary?" by @inept-the-magnificent

I read a lot more than I wrote. I am going to try and have a chapter of something out this week. 👀

This one is a bit shorter than usual.

Love Nerdie ❤️

Navigating dark timelines since 1989

They got lost on their way to a festival.

I definitely associate each of them with different styles of rock and metal, too. Igna'd definitely listen to power metal. She'd be more concerned with how energetic and catchy her music is, than with the technicalities, and the occasional fantasy silliness is an added bonus. I'd bet she'd listen to Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire and maybe Hammerfall, with a side of Battle Beast.

I can't precisely put my finger on why I associate Argo with celtic punk so strongly, but probably due to the hopelessness of it. He's pretty self-conscious about being an unitnentional failure of his family, and he faces the prospect of early death head-on. Also, coincidentally despite all my love towards celtic punk, it's not a genre known for pretty vocal XD To some degree I think regional styles of rock, especially from post-soviet countries fit him too, mainly due to the melancholic lyrics.

Theria practically has 'folk metal' written on her forehead. I'm firmly convinced in a modern AU she'd listen to Korpiklaani and Ensiferum. She probably wouldn't be opposed to listening to some variations of power and viking metal too.

I'd expect that Daen would wear t-shirts of Rammstein, but actually I associate him most strongly with Sonata Arctica. I see him as partial to good symphonic metal, too.

Haart would be your classic denim and leather wearing dad metal guy, who oscillates between New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and classic rock and metal bands. He'd have several t-shirts of Iron Maiden, he'd own the whole discography of Saxon and would bond with Igna over Gamma Ray.

Taking place after Wally's newfound inspiration... someone new may have caught on to something another hadn't expected to be noticed or is, quite unsure of. First time drawing Julie an I went in, no test doodles just full send, whatever happened happened kind of vibes xD. However, for all that, I think she came out pretty adorable, I’m slowly learning to draw each neighbour over time, so some things might shift or this version of Julie might look a lil cleaner later..since this was also made in like...a day an a half maybe?? I forget tbh

Helloo!! I just wanna say i love your OCs and it's so nice to watch people talk about their OCs as much as you do haha

I have some OCs too and I think my friend is starting to get a bit tired of me rambling and sending them pictures of my characters :/

you have really inspired me and i kinda want to start a blog here where i can just ramble about my OCs whenever i want, but I dont know where to start with it.. do you have any tips on how to start?

ALSOO i LOVE your sim stories, they are genuinly so beautiful and i love the lightning and the characters - everything!!

so sorry this took so long to answer i got caught up in bg3 and forgot i had asks i'm so sorry!! and thank youuu so much!!!!!!! i really really appreciate it it means a lot to me<3

idk if have any good tips on how to start tbh because i started my blog out of curiosity because i'd seen glimpses of simblr when downloading cc tbh, and idk if i even made an introduction or anything i just. followed some people lmao and some followed me back. me talking about my ocs and stuff is just the natural progression of showing them in a visual medium tbh, obviously they're a lot more to me than just. some guys i make visual things of so i wanted to talk about it and i did

if you want interaction i think it mostly stems from interacting with other people (especially anything that's a bit more personal as in you know. reblogs with comments in the tags, actual comments, asks)+luck tbh. but really i would just start a blog, maybe customize it a bit if you feel like it and post things that pops up into your head. you know. post the things that you'd otherwise tell your friends (or the things that you do tell your friend lmao). post the pics and stuff. it's not like there's a time limit for blogs on here and if you're unhappy with things they're very easy to delete

Oh hey. It me. Me sleepy. But probably no sleep.

But good night (morning?) regardless.

[the-story-of-how-we-died]

I think I am going to talk to my therapist tomorrow about ending our sessions. I've come to realize that most of my problems don't stem from anxiety or depression or anything that therapy can solve, but my masking and inability to accept myself for who I am (and dysphoria). I tried not masking while interacting with a new community of people for the first time, and that was the most "me" I've ever felt.

And she's not going to be able to help with my dysphoria. It's something I'm going to have to deal with on my own - which I have plans to.

Have I had a largely shitty life up to this point? Yeah, pretty much. I'd be fooling no one by saying I haven't. But I'm not going to let that hold me back

I'm gonna be okay

[ardri-na-bpiteog]

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.

You know, sometimes when I post my fics, I wonder if my readers see the AO3 emails and are like "Sass for the love of god, slow down I can't keep up"
