The summer depression is hitting me hard right now...

#I have the opposite of winter depression #I hate it when it is bright so long #the heat is sapping all of my energy #I feel meh about food all the time #no summer vacation anymore means only two weeks off work #if I am lucky enough to get a good time #siiiiigh #I want to cuddle in warm blankets again while looking at my candles #and playing new games #I barely have energy for anything else but FF14 rn #when oh when is summer over

Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art.#It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off.#Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways!#There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough'#only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize -#-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*)#And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans.#The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement.#I really can't describe how grateful I am.#Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out.#Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house.#But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants.#I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry.#Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

Close ups on the pocket details!!! I'm SUPER happy w how the top pockets look 😳😳😳

I think the variety of pride pins with the moral panic button/Mr Faggot beadwork just. Really sells it. Shadow the Hedgehog voice Pee Your Pants. If you're going to be a shithead about me I'm going to be really annoying and do a bit about it. Plus the little golden angel pin... ALSO really pulls the whole thing together. "God help you" Right in front of my guardian angel? Really? 😒And how could I not make mention of. The Skull. I love you The Skull. It's a button (not sewn on yet, pinned) that I filled the details in w nail polish. Oh yeah! Besides the bottle cap pins (acrylics sealed with mod podge and a prayer), the biggest addition there is the chain lining the pocket flap! I think it looks SO SLICK

The pansy was gonna go on the queer side, but then I got the boutonniere idea! And I think it looks nice! Kinda adds to the asymmetry of the floral print/plaid blocking. And... of course.... I have... my friends...... 🥺 Biggest additions here are the glow-star pentagram pin, soda tabs and the heart locket!

I don't really have many new additions to the bottom pockets. Not yet! The only thing I did was stitch one side of the handcuff chain, and rearrange the pins holding up the other side. The cuffs/scorpion was just an impulse addition before going to a concert. But I do like it! And it looks even better now! Meanwhile, that other pocket, I actually have no idea what I'll do. Sakura is just there cause she matches really well, esp w the angel pin actually!

#punk tag #diy punk #my projects #I FORGOT I USED THAT TAG .#also i AM gonna put patches on this thang I PROMISE. I WAS TOO SCARED LAST RUN. THIS RUN. WILL BE DIFFERENT.#again still waiting. but i really really wanted to show off/talk about the details!!!!!#i have sooooo many Thoughts behind this jacket like. an entire ideology. it almost feels like drag in a way #like! in the sense that there's a performance and art going on here. if my existence is inherently controversial #then i'm gonna lean into that. make you sit with that. and i'm NO LONGER CUTE ABOUT IT #<- guy who called himself cute yesterday bc I LOOKED REALLY GOOD. IT WAS AWESOME. OKAY #i forget i have a body and a face so much.#also! the cuffs!!! feel like a slight nod to the kink community. like. i really do feel like the demonization of kink #is the reason why so much. everything is so bad. i have thoughts about this but i can't fully articulate them rn #but like. points at the sign that says all queerness and esp queer expression is kink in the eyes of bigots #points at the sign that those are my friends you asshole. it might even be me. who knows....#any which way! really coming together! i do really need to get studs though i think. the. horrors.#and also i'll look sick as hell.#rn i feel it's... well. not exactly subtle but i am fortunate to live in a safe area. i live in mind your own business state.#not like. saying that to you i mean like that's the general attitude where i live LMFAOOO #the worst i've gotten is a lady saying 'god help you' to me in passing. and that was really recent #an indication of ohhh changing tides. unsettling. but also she couldn't even look me in the eye when she said that lmfao #any which way! i am thinking of my safety but also i do feel like i'm lucky enough to have time.#my jacket

Is planning the wedding to marry the love of your life supposed to be super depressing, or is that just me? Just me? Yea, makes sense.

#its not him at all #i love him to death and that is the happiest part of all of it #but I am just really stressed #and dress shopping was really bad #and im sad thinking about the people that won't be there #whether its because they've passed or I am just not a good enough reason to come #like my grandfather probably won't come #which he lives far away and is old and I get #but he literally drove here to pick up a truck for one of his other grandchildren that lives close to him #and I will be lucky to get a phone call or a card from him honestly #idk guys #I'm just sad rn and having a really hard time

it’s the last Sunday before Sunday’s banner ends so i suppose it’s about time for me to finally boot up HSR and pull him home… wish me luck

#i’m gonna need it bc i haven’t rlly played much since 2.3 so my savings are.. not Great #honkai star rail #hsr sunday #viddy game stuff #Seven.txt #it’s not that i don’t Want to play i just haven’t made the time to do so lately #i’m trying to juggle 4 live service gacha games at the same time and i am dropping all of the balls constantly 😔#i don’t feel like i’m doing much more than i used to but for some reason i seem to have a lot less free time for gaming lately #idk it’s probably just my time management getting worse #Anyways so yeah i haven’t played much since the Boothill hype. and i haven’t pulled a single new 5 star since his release #but i also haven’t played much at all during that time so i’ve only got 54 pulls saved :)#and if that’s enough to get me Sunday and his LC i’ll lose my fucking mind bc ain’t no way i’ll get that lucky #i Do have a good luck streak with Light Cones but i’ve only pulled for 3 so that’s not that impressive #i got Acheron’s on a won 50/50 at 14(!!!) pity and Aventurine’s on a won 50/50 at 22 pity so those were kinda insane to me #but then i don’t remember how it went for Boothill’s LC and i didnt log those pulls so i couldnt tell ya if the good luck streak continued #so anyways yeah probably gonna have to whale a lil bit but that’s ok bc it’s christmas time #i allow myself to whale (or. more like Dolphin perhaps) guilt-free on these games a lil bit on my birthday and christmas as gifts to myself #i used it on Xilonen and her sig weapon back around my birthday and now i’ll use this one on Sunday #ain’t no way i’m letting him pass me by when he’s the one that really hooked me into HSR in the first place #i was halfheartedly playing for a while but as soon as i saw the first hint of him on that livestream Penacony teaser i was Obsessed #don’t think i’ve ever been that excited for a character that i knew next to nothing about aside from a lil chibi avatar -#- and some line about him being malevolent. and i don’t even like the chibi style At All so that speaks to how strong his design was #or maybe it just shows how i see an angel coded character with weird-cool-head-wings and a halo and my brain worms start raving #well it’s 1am here so Technically it’s Monday now but shhhhhh it’s still Sunday in my Heart ok? and that’s what matters #and it’s still kinda Sunday on the American server bc the daily reset isn’t until like. 3am for me #but it’ll still probably record it as me having pulled him on the 23rd :/ oh well can’t turn back time #i guess i Could wait until Christmas morning but i don’t wanna flirt with the deadline so closely #this is close enough for me to count it as my Christmas pulls #and we spent Too Damn long without confirmation of his playability (though i always had faith in the leaks 😤🙏🏻) so i deserve this lmao #i mean i’ve waited longer. i waited for Scara! i waited for Baizhu! but still. all the ‘he wont be playable’ fearmongerers can kiss my ass

i've been having bad luck with pulls in my games lately. I guess I used up all my luck with e6s1 imbibitor lunae that didn't cost me anything but all my luck it seems 😅

#if i knew firefly existed then i would have saved it for her tbh #im saving now for something i havent decided yet #but in genshin i lost my last 50/50 and just lost navias weapon. again. didnt get it last time either D:#in wuwa i didnt get yinlin. didnt get jinhsis weapon. and am now trying changli bht nit looking good #but not*#other people i know who play wuwa say you get so many pulls and they all have myltiple characters and weapons and im like HOW #ive barely had enough to get jiyan and jinhsi and im only like 30 in on changli and 30 in on weapon banner #how do some people have at least 3 characters and their weapons and say its easy because you get so mamy pulls lmao #im struggling to get more!!!!!!#just did math. 423 pulls for e6s1 imbibity. idk if thats a lot or very little but it was lucky enough to win all of them

really wish there was a tag that separated “I’m having Big Angry and/or Angsty Opinions about Star Wars” from “I’m goofing off with Star Wars I’m playing in the sandbox none of this is real so yes I will make my blorbo and this random glub shitto go on an adventure that makes no logical sense” posts because there’s too much of the former and not enough of the latter for my current mental state

#starlight personal #the good news is that I finally have another ketamine appt scheduled and it’s sooner than I thought they’d have an opening #the bad news is that the appointment is not tomorrow and we’re kinda at the end of my mental-emotional rope #now kids this is what we call: an inherent flaw in my treatment plan that cannot be removed #because pretty much in an ideal world I’d have ketamine appointments every 6 weeks but 1) expensive and probs can’t afford that #2) they don’t have enough availability for that to be realistic 3) can’t take off of work THAT frequently without consequences #4) I would probably start to doubt reality if I was tripping that frequently 5) I don’t think docs would allow it #treatment resistant depression and anxiety my beloathed if we could just chill that’d be great #treatment resistant PMDD my other beloathed someday I will do my damnedest to cut you out of my body #idk not to be too selfpitying on main but god it fucking sucks that I appear to be doomed to another cycle based mood thing #PMDD means I get two good weeks two bad weeks #ketamine being the only effective treatment for whatever my brain’s got going on means two good months followed by x bad months #until my next appointment #which like! two good months is better than no good months I am grateful that something helps #I just wish it was a more convenient help and it could be applied more consistently than my psych office provides #also wish I didn’t have to call them 3 times to get it scheduled but it is what it is #also also wish that I had fewer of the physical side effects of my anxiety and wouldn’t wake up puking the min things are rough #this is all to say: I want silly SW headcanons and droid headcanons and silly fic ideas and not Everyone is Always Suffering #but I’m also too lazy (I.e brain cannot make decisions rn) to search for new tags that may give me more silly #which means time to browse my bookmarks for good good comfort fics I have saved I suppose #(this is lowkey why i want to physically fight everyone i know who’s like ‘yeah meds would help but idk :/‘ like!!!!!!!!#bro it’s a privilege to have access to meds and it’s a privilege to have a body that doesn’t turn on you the min you take one!!!!#just try 10mg of zoloft I would kill for 10mg of zoloft to not make me entirely incapable of functioning!!!)#I don’t mean that - you have a right to take or not take medication and everyone’s reasons may be their own #I just had my body and have some rough feelings around treating my issues being so expensive and inconvenient #and then feeling guilty b/c I know I’m lucky that I can afford it and can take off of work for it when I need to #like I am pretty lucky to have something that works and to have a care team that helped me get here #so I don’t wanna be ungrateful or unappreciative of my own luck in this and the work that went into getting here #I’d just also like it if I could change the circumstances slightly #make treatment on the weekends an option - get my psych office to have more than 2 trip sitters so scheduling isn’t so bad

i didn't think jacob would be arguing with olivia, wanting it almost as much as her. what the hell. i expected the self defeated, taking one for the team attitude but actively needing it like her? when he had been trying to stop her all night? i feel like i've been blasted by a buckshot

#digi discusses #the world needs more jacobs and i just took him out of it #did he go back to being a kid again? to see the lights of possibility again?#to feel like he's doing something exciting and worthwhile again not by making art but by being “freed” by maggie's knowledge once more?#or did he. choose another timeline entirely? augh i'm gonna have to watch the ending back again...where did he go...#maggie would be turning in her graaaaaave to know he chose this. she would hate that for him she would h a t e it #the anna parallels. stuck between time only able to hear him on radios if you are lucky. fuck off #becoming an urban legend...i think he would have liked that. immortalized just like he wanted. ugh wait did riley do that for him #but the details getting lost his name becoming warped over time? i think riley (and i) would feel it was almost disrespectful to his memory #the fact he puts meeting riley on the same pedestal as saving camena. god god god god. even when they aren't friends they are.#riley talking to athena like a person like he did. i am MISERABLE #its the dys exocolonist thing all over again. he's happy and that's...good. but he could have been just as happy if he'd stayed too #every single time i think about the hug i'm going to cry #every single ending has done this to me there is literally no winning #being kinda mean to him was bad enough but this ending just feels! it feels like riley. like i. drove him to.#girl i need to log off bye #oxenfree II spoilers #yeah there's the essay. just took a minute #i will make another one about hurt healed olivia in a bit too because that. made me sob. that one hit really...close to home #he says when he was a teenager he would have fallen for it if someone told him he could open a portal in the sky and make things better #what a liar he would still do it now #EDIT: NO i knew it he says almost exactly what nona says after you hug her when you hug him. the orange-associated characters strike again

i am definitely procrastinating on my studies right now (hello, finals) and no one asked for this, but. okay, as someone who’s now just a gasp away from finishing her first year of law school, the way i can confidently say that yes, make friends at law school/professional school in general. but also the way i want to slam over everyone’s heads that like. also. it is quite literally necessary to stay in touch with and invest even more deeply in your friendships outside of professional school because hello did you know that those people are going to be the ones that remind you that you have an actual personality

#caroline talks #this is partially me joking around and partially me being really serious #not really shading my law school or even my law school classmates #bc i think for the most part. i am lucky to be in the community i'm in #but it is. at the end of the day. still law school #and i am. still at the end of the day. a member of the legal community now #and sometimes that's fantastic. and other times it sucks so much.#which is why. it's so important to have friends outside of the whole world #because i've had multiple friends of mine shake me awake and be like 'remember why you wanted to do law school. REMEMBER WHY'#and it's so hard for me to remember that sometimes.#so. yes. friends .. . good. non-law friends .. . . VERY good.#the reason i have not actually dropped out of law school yet is. because of that one (1) professor #who said 'don't you DARE drop out because of [X]. you are way too smart to do that'#+ also so many of my great friends who have gone 'u are doing something cool with your life. don't drop out'#and one friend going 'whenever u want to quit. just remember that a white straight man could be taking your job right now'#and i was so tempted to be like 'they're already doing that' but still. the saying did fill me with enough rage to keep myself from #quitting. so here we are besties!!!#fuck everything else i am going to GET this stupid degree with the power of SPITE and FRIENDSHIP

also as an add on to prev post if you refuse to mask up Especially When Youre Coughing And Sniffling And Wiping Your Face… ESPECIALLY WHEN YOURE SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU KNOW YOU WILL ENCOUNTER CROWDS LINES AND SMALLER SPACES… You Are The Problem!!!

#idc if ‘its just a cold’ bro dont get people sick. dont risk it #so many people yesterday that were pretty clearly sick just walking around like nothing was up #and like somewhere like that where youre touching things [hand grips/lap bars and esp if youre like me handrails]#you are contributing to the problem #even if youre on vaycay you can still be just a little responsible #compulsive hand washing/sanitizing is my friend after anything [think of all the kids alone touching everything]#but it will not be enough to escape getting covid bc someone couldnt wear a mask at the very very fucking least indoors #even outdoors when its baking and raining and humid like It Isnt That Bad #i am so lucky to not have gotten anything from going down this time but good lord #also before anyones like ‘its a fl thing ^-^’ no the hell its not. its a People thing #ok rant over!!!#have a good day!!!#rage moment

as someone who went from fearing chargers, to sometimes using chargers, to maining them (and by them i mean mostly just the e-liter scope i used more in 2 than i do now)

watching people who do not play chargers play the e-liter for the first time or any sort of reason i just go YUP THATS IT START CRYING UNTIL U HIT A SICK SNIPE AND THEN BASK IN UR SECONDS OF FAME THAT NO ONE ELSE CARES ABOUT

#like i was a shooter main through 1 and 2 with some dabbling in various weapons in 2 usually chargers #during the rock paper scissors splatfest i said this was gonna be the start of me actually maining the eliter #id say in 2 my main was like...the jr.....#im also not into competitive play...i like watching videos going into things but im casual and ranked is something i only...sometimes play #but not enough to rank #chargers are like either confidant in their playing or like me stressed #and tho i cant say im like a pro charger despite the time i put into the eliter....i mean its still me after all #it is very...different from the other classes bc most of the time ur not gonna be good at holding a fight up close unless u get VERY lucky #but thats just me and i am maining the slowest charger with a scope #also watching someone talk about the comp nature of splat and how chargers will probably pick up the ballpoint like #i DO not like splatlings...way too awkward for me to play #i get one in salmon run its over its over hang up ur slops bc its over #the cool thing about the eliter is that sometimes you'll match with people who just want to leave you alone #the not cool thing is that people will also very much want to chase you down bc u got caught #mid repositioning #again im not a splat pro i just play casually so ur not gonna get actual good tips from me #also sorry if anyone acutally reads my tag rants bc they can get really long and idk why i dont kjust put all of this in the post itself any #anyway....

You can always recognize an office worker in a customer bc these guys felt so put upon and affronted by being asked to stay home during all of that that they just fucking forgot how to act in public. They demand things and say things to my face that they never would have before. I've been directly called a bitch and physically threatened more times in the last 4 years than I was in the entire decade of working in service positions beforehand.

I used to like people, man. People would act like we were beneath them for being service workers sometimes but before all that I think a majority of people were polite enough. I just don't give a shit about the complaints of people who were not essential workers unless those complaints are that they want to go back to working remotely because covid isn't fucking over. There is no complaint they can possibly have that can compare to having to be face to face with 100s of people every day that made it abundantly clear that they were (and are) willing to sacrifice your life for their convenience.

im not saying office jobs aren’t bad in some ways but its always very telling when people treat it like the WORST job at the bottom of the rung…because they have never had to face manual labor as a real option they would ever be forced to take.

#And I have one of those “good” service industry jobs #Not retail or food service #I spent 6 months wading though an endless sea of assisting distraught people #with obituaries/death certificates/filing for unemployment while having to fend off idiots throwing shouting hissyfits #about how we weren't offering other services at the time or wasting a bunch of time with services that they #and I cannot stress this enough #could have done remotely #I caught covid twice. I'm lucky I'm not dead.#Some of my co-workers did die and I was expected to just like...be chill with the lingering specter of death I guess.#We had to fight to get the company to implement the plexiglass temporary screens or provide any masks.#Customers would sit there and profess that we were such heroes but they couldn't even handle standing six feet away.#If you asked someone to please comply with literally any safety standard they were ignoring #you were taking your life into your hands bc “what if they attack me for that?” was a real possible thing you had to consider.#I'm not a hero to them because they did not care!!!#The company said it first but the general public also made it abundantly clear!!#They did not give a single fuck if EVERYONE who worked there died!#They made small talk about it!#The Economy #You have to pretend to agree with them bc you can't have personalities or opinions on the work floor #Why yes sir I do think it's great that you can still come in here for virtually no reason #And give me a highly infectious deadly disease #Bc you're bored #I sure am happy to stick it to the libtards #By dying #And don't even get me started on how the public feels about the fact that I still wear a mask at work #I hate it here #I am banging on the walls screaming #You've got holidays and weekends and you only have to deal with your boss and your direct co workers!!!!!!#I know work in all it's forms is coercive and shitty #But PLEASE have some fucking PERSPECTIVE
