Hey Sarah, how's you doing today? Please tell moi about your day and isokei you rest, laundry can wait for sometime.

I'm going thru a very transitional phase rn and i wanted to ask how has friendships changed for you as you've gone from school to college to work. Do people really do trust they'll have this friend for life and is that something you feel as well with people in your life? How did you deal with friendship breakups? Do you still have a good amount of close friends fr school and college?

Anyone who reads this and wants to share please do too, I really wanna know how it's been like for everyone, I hope it's okei with you Sarah for asking a vast question in your blog but I'm too tired to make reddit question and plus i love this space here, I've been here for a few months regularly reading your blog stuff like newspaper jskskwjw. Thank you so much :D

i'm doing okay, i'm pretty tired and didnt do much which makes me a little sad but it's probably the concerts i went to this week catching up to me.

i'm still friends with 2 people i was friends with in high school, we knew each other since middle school but didnt get close till about freshmen year and got closer every year. i fully think we'll be friends forever because our friendship group was a lot bigger- i think they're were about 6 of us maybe. but a lot of them fizzled away after high school, which is sad but at the end of the day you can't force anything and when i look back those friendships were amazing at the time but i can't imagine they'd service me now.

a friend breakup is weird, it obviously depends on what kind of breakup (like a natural growing apart vs a fight that ends everything and leaves bad feelings towards one another), but at the end of the day everything happens for a reason. if a friendship doesnt add anything to your life anymore there's no reason to keep putting in effort to something that isnt there, a friendship shouldn't feel like a job you have to keep up with. friendships and relationships are similar to me in a way, like you'd never stay in a relationship that doesnt service you so why bother a friendship. you and your friend(s) were there for each other when it was needed and now it's not, them leaving might hurt but them being there to begin with is what matters.

like i said- my best friends are two people i've known since middle school and the reason i think we'll be friends is because we actively put in the work to be friends, they live an hour away from me and we make plans to see each other whenever we can. we're going to a bunch of concerts together, spending July 4th together, my friend randomly texted that they wanted to go to a renaissance faire so we're doing that now lol. whenever we wanna do something we run to one another. we put in the effort it takes to be an adult with friends but we are fine with not seeing each other for a few months if it happens. we still text everyday and i feel 100% like myself when im with them, i always have. all of these things are important in what makes a friendship last to me- comfortability, dependability, excitement, etc.

i got my diploma today! it's fancy and so pretty and i'm so happy with it. it's kind of real, now. far more than before. it's crazy, yknow? i have another piece of paper with my name on it, but this one is (a) bigger, (b) more expensive, and (c) so much fancier than the others i have. i also ordered a frame for it, which i'm gonna be so excited to have in all its glory, all assembled and too big to put anywhere in my house 😂 but it's really pretty and i'm really proud of it. so much has gone into earning this degree, and it's wild that it's done. i still feel like i'm catching up with living.

also i bought more things today. probably shouldn't have. but i wanted outfits for renaissance faires so i got two. whatever. i got them on sale, so it wasn't so bad.

mostly radio silence from joel today, which makes sense since he's away at a con this weekend. i miss him :c

tomorrow i'm going to the movies, which is exciting. we're going to see quantumania, which i'm pretty hype for, since paul rudd as antman has gotta be my favorite character in the mcu at this point. like geez, scott lang is easily the most well-adjusted and normal person in the entire universe. everyone else is kinda batshit or a genius or something, but this one guy is totally normal. he's good at figuring things out. he's just a weirdo, a goofball, a good dad, and a decent guy. in this house we love and appreciate scott lang.

i went out with my mom to get stuff for my sister early in the day, and we brought it over to her. she's been feeling sick lately, so we brought her comfort food and snacks so she can exist peacefully as she mourns the completion of her five-year d&d campaign that finished today.

and for dinner my parents and i went to longhorn as a celebration for my finishing my degree, which i believe is the second time we've done exactly that, but this time i have my diploma 😂 it was good, but my salmon was kinda too juicy and a little undercooked, so i'm gonna slap it in a pan and fry the living daylights out of it instead of forever making the microwave smell of fish.

i read some more just now before putting it down and writing this.

also my shoulder has been a little achey and stiff. it's hard to do the exercises the doctor gave me for post-op when my bahongazongahagas are in the mcfucking way all the goddamn time. in the meantime, my hand has been achey too so the pain radiates into my elbow from both sides. i hope it stops soon.

anyway, im tired. i'm bored. i need desperately to go back to work. and i need to scratch my legs properly, because that shit itches.

i'm so tired.

Another hot take on the cockle and destiel shipping practice. It's been taken so far to the extremes that it's crossed into other circles and hasn't been left alone. I don't really pay attention to the panels, save for what my mom shows me and even then, I can't get over the amount of screaming in the background. It gets real old, real quick. And the first Supernatural panel I experienced at a Comic Con, was highly overstimulating because of it. And you would think a Doctor Who or My Little Pony panel With Tara Strong would be much more lively but like a Marvel Panel with Tom Hiddleston at Wizard World, THIS WAS MUCH WORSE. There are so many obsessive fujoshi out there who just continue a ship without regard for anyone else's personal opinions. And it somehow takes up their time and their reality. And somehow no matter what, every interaction that the two characters have, or even the two people, somehow becomes romantic. And this consumes their everyday lives. And if anyone so much as disagrees, it becomes a series of death threats, stalking, and even eventual malignant intent and assault outside of that person's homes, work place and recreational activities. It is a huge issue.

I mean there are harmless encounters among friends. Like it can be so much of an ear sore to the point where one will literally want to talk about just about anything else.

Like, some fans of any other series or popular media could be discussing any ship at any given time and suddenly "HEY HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE NEWS OF THE DESTIEL LORE" or "GUESS WHAT COCKLES DID TODAY". Or worse, they literally say that they don't want to talk about it and suddenly be considered any level of Homophobic.

I have had first hand experience in this.

I'm BISEXUAL! IM FUCKING QUEER! I AM ALSO MARRIED TO A GENDER NON CONFORMING AFAB!!!!

Like the Destihellers and Cockulds never fail to entertain and annoy. And they've been doing so since my first Renaissance faire back in 2007. In con circles they act worse than LDS and I would personally go about discussing the book of Matthew with the fundies than talking about those theories. That is how annoying those types of people are. And they LIVE FOR IT.

This is not uncommon. There are levels of bad in this and while I love the show and enjoy talking about it, I don't enjoy rabid shippers with skewed obsessions and realities. There are big dreamers who I adore discussing goals and aspirations with. I love discussing ships and have no issue with that. Just like you guys.

As for the asshole shipping and obsessive whims...

Live for the chaos. Their misery. Their frustration.

Its going to turn into sheer unbridled entertainment. And you are not only the director but the leading villain.

Heller hater

I don't have anyone, anon. I fully believe Destihellers or whatever they are called should be free to ship what they love,provided they acknowledge the creative license they took and stop harassing the actors and other fans by claiming their ship is a reality. There's a fine line and, at some point, pushing for that delusion turns into abuse.

Going to the renaissance fair today and im so excited im gonna pee.

[stylesuperstar]

hi dayasco friend i am here to demand your dayasco thoughts and concepts today

HI ASH IM FINALLY HERE TO ANSWER. ITS DAYASCO TIMEEEEEEEEEE

- dayasco are pda maniacs. THEY DONT GIVE A FUCK WHERE THEY ARE!! they’ll make out at a funeral (not really but you get the idea)

- they have movie nights where they switch who picks the movie. it always ends up being a horror movie or mamma mia tho

- they always get dessert when they’re out to eat or order in

- they always go to concerts/shows together, even when one doesn’t know what it is

+ fun aus or drabble ideas

- dayasco at universals halloween horror nights - emo bosco x scene daya (my personal fav tbh but i’m biased because i was a kid with an emo and scene phase) - meet at a renaissance faire (bosco is dressed as a wench)

i love them SO MUCH

I’m writing early for once wow. Well it’s just because I’m just about done work and it was dead today so I got everything done a little early. Bubbles and sparkles hung out today since they were both off, I wish I could have hung out too, but I had to work -_-

Only about two more months of these daily entries. I’m glad I decided to do it as my New Year’s resolution, but I’ll be kinda glad when im done lol. It’s sometimes hard to think up stuff to write since I don’t do much. I feel like all I’ve been doing is watching anime, but it’s what I really enjoy.

Idk who reads these, I always feel like im the annoying person. I got told that a lot growing up, that I was the annoying friend, so it’s stuck in my head whether it’s true or not. That’s probably why so many of my friends ended up leaving. I don’t like texting people out of the blue much because I feel like I’m bothering them. Idkkk.

One more day and then im off four days! Im so excited! Going to spend it some parts with my mom and some with my brother hopefully. We didn’t get tickets in time for the renaissance faire, they sold out yesterday for this weekend. Im not sure if we’ll try to go for the sunset tickets or just decide to stay home. It sucks because we got our guts and casca outfits, but we can still dress up for Halloween at work at least. Tonight is chainsaw man and im so excited!!

[botherkupo]

i know this is tragic news to all of you, but im gonna be late with rednana day 23 (shrek au). it’s, uh, rather long. like over 2000 words and still not finished ... ahha ha ... 

yeah

anyway, have a wee teaser

--

Crack!

A part of the floor broke apart like a smashed web. Louis flinched and dropped the shopping bags, wrapping his arms over his head for protection as chunks of debris sprayed into the air and clunked all around.

“Louis!” a voice boomed.

His heart dropped to his stomach. So much for keeping his distance. An angry voice calling his name just after some public damage? Yeah, that was probably the akuma.

The dust cloud settled, revealing the akuma standing before the hole with one hand on his hip and wearing some kind of … well, it looked like he’d got lost on his way to the Renaissance faire. Black tights and boots, a red and gold-trimmed tunic with poofy sleeves, a long red cape that draped over his right arm. He even had a little matching hat on his blond head. Combined with the dramatic makeup that gave him an almost cartoonish appearance, it certainly made a statement. Though he did seem familiar …

Louis’ eyes widened. “Wait, Ben?”

“I am not Ben,” Ben-who-was-definitely-Ben said, pointing his nose to the air. “I am Rewriter, and today I have come to claim what should be mine!” He flipped his cape over his shoulder and revealed—

A pen? Louis squinted at the object in his hand. Yeah, that was definitely a pen. It had a round top like a lollipop and swirled in red and gold. That wasn’t very Renaissance of him. Still, it was probably best not to underestimate the pen.

Henri rubbed his chin. “You know, he reminds me of someone.”

“Yeah, it’s Ben,” Louis said, and picked up three of the bulging shopping bags and tossed them at Rewriter’s face. He grabbed Henri by the arm. “Run!”

Henri moved like he was a rusted old machine that needed a lot more oil to get going. Or maybe just a sloth who had decided speed was overrated and he’d rather chill here and observe the akuma.

“Nah, I know that’s Ben,” Henri said. “I mean he reminds me of someone else. I think it’s the outfit, especially the hat.”

“Who cares! Just run!”

“Hold on, it’ll come to me. I can almost see the hat. It’s right on the tip of my tongue …”

“I don’t care about the hat!”

Louis was close to tearing his hair out. Did Henri want them to get caught?

Rewriter flipped right over them, landing with a swish of his cape to block their path and flashing his perfect teeth. “Did you really think you could escape me?”

“A-ha!” Henri pressed his fist to his palm. “I got it! He looks like Lord Forkling from Shrek.”

Louis blinked. Rewriter blinked.

“But was his name Forkling?” Henri mused, tilting his head. “Or was it Farthing? Flannel?”

“It’s Farquaad!” Rewriter snapped. “Lord Farquaad! How do you not know that?”

[riffrcffed-a]

Going along side that and kinda in terms with what you’ve written and more for the sake of the mental health community, I think all in all using new language is one of the best ways to help with that. Instead of saying like “my muse woke up.” You can say “I found inspiration to write my character in said thing today” or “ I can’t seem to focus creative energy in one medium. “ ... etc. personally I see rping as acting. Playing a character. (1/2 because it’s getting long whoops)

( 2/2 ) it’s like playing a character on the stage [im a theater geek so that’s were my head goes sorry ] but through a different medium and while it’s easy to get caught up and whisped away in the world and everything, at the end of the day it’s just that. A story. A character. Fiction and you need to be able to take a step back from it. Anyhow all in all, you and the anon below are ten thousand percent right and thank you for saying it out loud.

not at all, thank you for sharing such an in depth perspective on this. I think you’re absolutely 100% correct: language is such a huge component of this, and you make an amazing point saying that an easy remedy to a lot of this is to change the language? Because at the moment, the language that IS being used is one that encourages sentience to stories and characters where there is none. 

And this comparison to you acting on stage is also so apt ! just because you are giving life to the character (in the sense that you are putting yourself into the character in order to demonstrate how that character would think or perceive things) doesn’t mean that you’re becoming that character, or that the character lives a life separate to the one you give it once you slip out of it again. 

And like you said, it’s so easy to get caught up and whisked away! And it’s fun to let that happen every once in a while, especially when you’re doing fun events (i.e. cosplaying, the Renaissance Faire, etc). It only becomes harmful when people get carried away with that, and start to have trouble / refuse to separate their fact from fiction.

Thank you so much for this perspective and taking the time to write all of this out ! it’s definitely a valuable addition to the argument overall 

[headkiss]
