hey. got some wild news for you folks that i feel would be selfish of me not to share.
you can literally just. create your own interpretation and/or entire timeline for your favorite media (well, any media). and use that as the basis for your feelings and ideas and narrative choices when creating your own media about it. or sometimes even just when thinking about it.
like yeah it's not reality. but i doubt the original media is either. yeah it's made up. but so is the original media. we're all just playing with lil dolls and vaguely sexualized action figures and shit. go off, dude. get weird with it.
#like i know this sounds incredibly obvious#but it's just one of those behaviors that feels really nice when you acknowledge that there's literally nothing wrong with it#feel free to start some discourse on this topic if you want#i'm in desperate need of a distraction#i'll just start pulling unhinged takes from the ether#just start saying shit i don't even remotely believe in just to piss someone off#that's the kind of asshole mood i'm kinda in#screaming into the void#shitpost

*writes the same exact headcannons in slightly different scenarios over and over again*
#it all comes back to my unicron-spawn Starscream and my quintesson-built Jazz#today I worked a little on us Starscream and qb Jazz becoming friends and getting a absurdly similar dynamic to how I write Prowl and Jazz#but I stopped that to work on a memory loss fic w that Jazz fighting his way from autobots to Starscream bc he was the only one who he#trusted with a complete memory back up as another not-cybertronian#and I stopped THAT to work on a qb Jazz/Prowl fic where it's non-essential no pain killer surgery that Prowl has to do on Hazx bc he refuses#to go to medics. partially bc the surgery is completely unsafe in any firm and partly bc qb Jazz doesn't want anyone else to know what he is#(and Prowl barely knows either)#but I only got a few sentences into that b4 I went to do an Autobot!DJD (AJD?) torture scene w qb Jazz where the nameless character to die#manages to tear open his chest while fighting back and finds nothing inside#BUT that's rlly similar 2 a fic where I've done the same thing w Starscream (the chest discovery in a scuffle bit) so I reread that before#I got distracted thinking abt my Starop fic that's all Starscream doesn't have a spark because he's a ghost Optimus Prime doesn't have a#spark because he's a lab experiment gone rogue. Misunderstandings ensue. which I adore but have no idea how to fit a plot into#so bc I couldn't think of anything more than a few sentences for that I went to my fic where ALL of the command trine formed from Unicron#but Skywarp and Thundercracker died early and Starscream spends millions of years searching all of cybertron and hoping Vector Sigma#reincarnation works for unicronians too. biiiig depression angst fic. I can't decide if I want it to end in Starscream self-inducing stasis#in one of Vector Sigma's chambers or whether I want it to end w Starscream brutally murdering the new trine member the reincarnated versions#of Skywarp and Thundercracker were made with (who ftr would be Sun Storm)#n that fic reminded me of that one rewritting of the Starscream's Ghost ep where Starscream catches a glimpse of Scourge and immediately#attacks. it's barely a fight because in seconds SS is ripping through layers of armor desperately searching for Thundercracker beneath the#shell Unicron gave him. He needs Thundercracker to be there (he isn't). Only when his claws have gone completely thru Scourge's back does he#round on the armada- only to completely ignore Cyclonus and go for one of his clones (Skywarp)#and that reminded me of- *gunshots*#do u see why I only ever manage to post ponies?? I have less ideas w them so I actually finish.#I'm worried of hitting tag limit but I have plenty more of even less fleshed out fics for us Starscream and qb Jazz#(I barely said half of what's in my writing docs)

sorry for only saying this type of shit lately but i kinda wanna drive a car straight into a brick wall at the highest speed possible
#trying to keep it together so bad because i already know the problems and solutions and whatnot but i cannot do anything#i desperately just need to do something. accomplish any task. actually several would be nice. but i cannot stand just letting life go by#while i watch other people have the things i want. or even metaphorically living my dream like. that should be me why am i settling for thi#i hate even talking about this because i feel so stupid when i know it's not even a real tangible problem and that i actually DO have real#problems to tackle and the ability to do so but i'm choosing to be upset over the stupidest things i could possibly be sad about#and i can't even be sad about it in a normal way i'm cycling through like several different reactions to smth that isn't even real#or if it is real i literally do not have tanglible evidence for it one way or another like i'm driving myself insane for no reason#i can't even get catharsis because all i'm doing is digging a deeper hole for something i never should've gone back into in the first place#because i KNOW how i am i KNOW how i react to things and i still chose to do it lmao.#and i continue to choose to go through this shit instead of actively trying to change my life because... i'm lazy? and stupid? idk#negative self-talk isn't gonna get me to do anything either so let's just say i'm feeling particularly unmotivated like usual#i hated being a teenager but i really do miss when all my problems just amounted to 'someone was mean to me on tumblr today :(' or i failed#a test in chemistry or something. like i yearn for that simplicity becasue at this point all i'm doing is ruining my own life LMAO#i'm too scared to live i'm too scared to die so i just sit here and fantasize that life could be amazing if i wait#and i'll magically get everything i've ever wanted if i just wait long enough. and i know it isn't true and i still wait for it to happen.#because honestly like. i think deep down i am just convinced i will fail at anything i do when that shouldn't be what scares me.#what scares me should be never even allowing myself to fail because i never tried to do anything at all with myself or my life#like. wake the fuck up. get off your ass and put in the effort. learn some skills. gain independence and stability and discipline and do it#just live please i'm begging you just live so i can be happy don't i deserve to be happy... why am i not letting myself be happy#i'm literally keeping myself trapped in this negative feedback loop ON PURPOSE because teehee shiny toy#and it doesn't matter if the love is real it doesn't matter how i feel like i'm just using it as a distraction i can't say it's motivation#because it's barely motivated me at all. i have to start being realistic. 25 & just realizing you actually have to participate in your life#anyways. i've cried i've agonized i've pictured killing myself in 30 different ways. i think the only way i'm gonna feel better is#to just actually try this time without giving up. wish me luck

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

Trying real hard not to take something as a slight and trying real hard not to take that perceived slight personally and failing miserably bc I've made a couple mistakes at work recently and it doesn't matter that I caught them and one didn't even cause any issues once I fixed it and the other one I took all the steps proper to address it once I noticed it bc every time I make a mistake it's proof that I don't know what I'm doing and am terrible at my job and the guy who got hired after me is now in a role in which he'll be quality checking my paperwork and data entries and I've been really phoning it in at work bc I'm trying to stave off burnout and still dealing with grief over losing my grandmother and dog of 14 years within days of each other a few months ago
But I'm fine I'm totally fine even though my boss just told me to edit a form but the form is a PDF and I don't know how to edit it without messing up the formatting so I'm just gonna hope he forgets he suggested I do that like he forgot he suggested I make a new form for a different monitor bc I was frustrated that we didn't have a standardized form for it and thus no way to keep track of maintenance checks on it even though we report data to the fucking government and every step of the way of everything we do has to be written down somewhere
#anyways the meds keep my distraction and bouncing off the walls under control#but don't do shit for my executive dysfunction and wow are my executives dysfunctioning right now#and my executives don't dysfunction in the more common ways they apparently do for ADHD#so I get to feel like I'm doing ADHD fucking wrong and that's *fantastic*#uhhhhh don't mind me I just desperately needed to vent and I'm at work#and there's nowhere for me to even cry in private at work unless I go outside#and it's a hot day so I don't want to#whine whine whine

It's that "spend hours sobbing my eyes out in bed for several reasons, including but not limited to the fact tomorrow is Monday, the fact my social battery has been completely drained and won't recover anytime soon, the fact my landlady is due to show up tomorrow evening and will likely piss me off again, the fact I've had the urge to write since Friday and ended up not writing even a single fucking word, the fact exam pressure keeps rising and I still don't know what to do with my life after I'm done with school, and the fact I'm both completely overwhelmed and so terribly lonely at the same time" kind of Sunday evenings
#I'm so fucking exhausted. both mentally and emotionally#I spent the night at my grandma's and then my friend came over and spent the night the following day#and I don't count it as a day off unless I don't go anywhere or see anyone#so you could say I didn't really have a weekend#idk how I'll go to school tomorrow. I think even one person talking to me would make me fucking explode#and yet. despite all that. I feel completely alone#because no one I know irl can provide me with the comfort I so desperately need#spending time with people is all a big distraction from my depressive thoughts#and the second everyone leaves.. I feel more alone than ever. so completely and utterly lonely#I try to fill the void with my imagination. lose myself in my oc verse. and it helps sometimes#but when I'm not feeling particularly inspired or can't some up with anything good... I just end up feeling worse than I did before#everything I do is to distract myself from my mind because the second I'm left alone with my thoughts..#they go to a very dark place very quickly#like now. when my wrists itch and I can't stop crying and know full well that I'll go to bed in a few hours wishing to never wake up#and I'm left with nothing but a gaping hole in my chest. aching for arms to fall into and a shoulder to cry on#despite knowing it's not something I'll ever have#so I grit my teeth and bear it and hold on. for whatever reason#I don't know why I haven't give up yet. it's all arbitrary reasons like 'my friends would be sad if I was gone'#even in matters like these all I end up worrying about is what other people would think. not my own feelings#well. nobody has anything to worry about concerning me anyway. I'm too much of a coward to do anything#if I wasn't I wouldn't have lived to see my 14th birthday#and yet 4 years later I'm still here. wishing for an instantaneous way out that didn't involve me raising a hand against myself#because I really don't know how long I'll be able to take all this for. I don't have much left in me#I'm holding on by a thread. one too close to snapping. I'm scared of how few reasons I can come up with to keep going#I don't see a future ahead of myself. no college or uni or job or relationship or anything that might be worth staying around for#any attempts to imagine what life would be like after graduation are just.. dark and bleak and empty#I haven't got a single clue what I'm going to end up doing. maybe that's why I see so little worth in trying to figure it out#nothing in this world will make me truly happy. I don't have a future#and if I don't have a future... I don't have any reasons to stick around any further#if only I wasn't so much of a coward

Randomly got surged with love for my dog, hug your dogs everyone <3
#I wish we had more money#he desperately needs a groomer#but he's scared of the showerhead and he doesn't like his paws touched#I'm working on that second one#but it's slooow because energy among other things sucks#gonna try to push on the depression a bit and at least make something part of his daily routine now that I'm getting more daily energy back#fighting depression is so fucking exhausting#but we're getting there#ups and downs everyone ups and downs#I would not have expected to get here so quickly so that's#something#oop I'm rambling in tags again lol#I was gonna sleep and then I got distracted by dog training videos#I finally figured out how to make the autism ADHD overwhelmed by big tasks and overwhelmed by step by step work for me#isolate the step. block your mind of what to do next.#then you're doing one thing#and then you're doing one thing again#boom stuff and things#sorta#we're trying alright lol#we're getting. somewhere. eventually.

According to my mood tracking app, the longest I have gone without writing since I started up again in Jan 2021 was ten days in a row, which was when I was in GA for xmas during the last two weeks of Dec 2021...
The overall effect on my mood when including the writing activity is pretty high, in a positive way, based on the data.
All of that to say that my current depressive slump as a result of facing the fact that I may have finally hit a hard wall of burn out, after two years of intense output?
...well, it makes sense lol.
#thoughts#personal#depression#mental health#i desperately need a break i know i do my brain is spinning out ans having difficulty even starting on concepts/stories#but also... writing is the center tower of my support structure it's what I do to unwind and make myself happy#i anticipated some amount of this uhh feeling gutted and empty after break up au was over#but i didn't anticipate this fucking weird limbo inbtw of being burnt out and unable to write but ALSO unable to find joy in other things??#my brain doesn't want to read it doesn't want to play video games or do art or pursue a different hobby#it's not latching onto any non pirate things despite me pspspssing ans throwing other content in front of it#like I'm TRYING#with 1899 with Sunder with Disco Elysium etc#it feels like shit frankly#and also a lot of the pirate ppl i started this journey with have also gotten tired or moved on completely#i just am absolutely CONFOUNDED that my brain is finding zero joy in even rotisserie chickening pirate stuff#who am i?#god i hope it's just a little slump and I snap out of it#cuz i am thrashing like a fish in a net trying to figure out how to make ny brain happy#what's the magic formula#and the brain fog is still here so like i would LOVE more distraction from IRL shit#i can use my friends to produce joy to some extent right now but it's limited#bc im also Still Tired so doing the Jay Thing of trying to fill needs and thus feel useful has a hard limit#reminds myself im not just an endless battery#anyway im desperately trying to find heathy coping and not ooze all over everybody but it's fucking hard#venting#i find it hard to talk to my therapist about this which maybe means i need a new one#just another Thing to do

How do I stop being literally addicted to tumblr
#it's like. ultra fomo combined with desperately wanting to feel even a sliver of connection with others and also#desperate need to distract myself#and inability to even focus on anything else irl like reading a book. and if i try to be... in reality in my environment....#then I'm overly aware of how painful simply fucking existing is and I'm desperately wanting to escape from that feeling#so i open up tumblr and scroll until my head feels like it's going to violently implode#i cant keep living like this.

just reminding you that i deleted the rotting asks in my inbox so consider this a revamp. if we had a thread going on that you'd like to continue, please let me know in private ( and send me a link if you can i literally lost everything ), thank you for your patience & understanding. p.s. i can also be found at @helbroth & @summerkng.
#after being hospitalized several times and then everything that's currently happening in my country i lost the motivation to be around tbh#but i'm kinda back because yeah .. i desperately need to be distracted when i'm not busy working or doing voluntary service#PLEASE don't hesitate if you wanna revive an old thread with me#i reset everything only because i honestly lost track of everything due to my absence#not because i don't want to interact with you#<33#【✧crown off】: ooc#tw : sickness#tw : negativity

Update us on Five and Alir, when they're both stable at least. I read a little of what's been happening, but I obviously don't know exactly what's going on. Good luck with them!
They're fine. I mean, as fine as they can be given their injuries. But I've sorted it out as best I can. Just need to make sure Klaus and Theo are ok. They're not. But we'll just? Try
#I'm not going in tomorrow#should be fine since they'll probably be fixing stuff#but I need to stick around these guys#Az is clearly desperate for any opportunities#course that means he'd send JM in after us#because distractions yay woo hurray#I don't know how many people we're dealing with here#there's a possibility of there being multiple versions of each person#if Az is smart enough that is#hope they all paradox paranoia or whatever it is#kill eachother#that'd be best#darian answers stuff#tua rp#oc

thinking about my approach to personification ocs once again today and i feel like i have two lenses. the first is the Classicist Lens which is like a telescope where i have to think across lifetimes about things like the past is a foreign country and how i am using the telescope to look at a projection of a photo of a reflection of a mountain to try to describe the mountain
and then the other is i guess the modern magnifying glass which mostly involves me listening to local news and then going to municipal websites and tearing apart their information architecture.
and generally i have my ancient ocs in focus with one lens and my modern ocs in another - the truly frightening thing is one day i could just pick up the modern magnifying glass and applying it to Ancient Cities that Absolutely Still Exist! but i don't because .... because.... because....
#i could do it RIGHT NOW but i want to make a cake first#this thought tangentially inspired by me trying to retrieve a document from the hellenic national document centre#and thinking ahh isnt it amazing how national websites are universally an IT nightmare#one day im trying to shove more references to the oresteia in this damn comic#and the next i am looking at garbage pick up schedules in cities i dont live in because i dont know#i am just obsessed with cultural memory and how we portray ourselves as Belonging to this Idea or Not Doing That#but i'm also obsessed with Living and Participating in A Society i dont even know man#its one of those things like what do you mean the CITY is responsible for clearing the sidewalks in the winter#over here its Just Me and The Kindness of My Neighbours#this is what happens if you work from home too long you start overanalyzing the little tasks you do when you go about your day...#hapo rambles#i don't know where i'm going with this whatsoever i NEED to make this cake NOW#no matter how desperate i am to look at local branding strategies#i think winter just makes me Like This for eight months a year#i am SUPPOSED to be doing 1910s research so i need to be shooed away from these distractions
