So itās been a while, huh?
I donāt know how many people are actually still following this blog/are interested in it but...hi again! I already wrote a post sort of explaining where I disappeared to and why (long story short: it was tumblr staffās fault) but I also want to talk to you guys properly and update you all on whatās been going on since.
I donāt want to abandon this blog but I have another blog that Iām using now -> itās @alwaysahiccupandastrid. Itās not as Beasts oriented as this one was, Iām afraid, but still feel free to follow it and chat to me! Itās much like this blog was when I used it in that I donāt really post exclusively for one fandom, itās just a mix of whatever I like!
Anyway, updating! I already told you guys that I graduated university in July, finished my degree...that was stressful! A lot went down at university but it sorted itself out in the end and I survived! Our final assessment was at the end of May, and we performed a show that we created four times, three nights and one matinee. Iām very proud of what we achieved all things considered! But yes...I am no longer a university student!
What else has changed?
I no longer work for the cinema anymore - I quit a few weeks ago after getting a job at a fancy hotel that was supposedly better...I quit the day after my first shift because I had a āme tooā experience with another employee...without too much detail, he touched and started kissing me, and I left. I struggled for a couple of weeks trying urgently to get a new job, and Iām now working for Superdrug! My first shift was Wednesday afternoon/evening and Iām excited to start properly! Itās not permanent: Iām also hoping to hear back from Nikon soon about an admin position thatās closer to home and pays extremely well!
I no longer see that therapist who likes Harry Potter - I think I talked a little bit on here about my counsellor who was also a Harry Potter fan and who I liked? Yeah...turns out not so much? I stopped going to her because she a) screamed at me for waiting in the waiting room until my bus was due to arrive down the road and b) she got pissed because I couldnāt do a few certain weeks due to show rehearsals. Iām honestly all the better for it frankly.
More tattoos! - Okay so itās not a super important thing but itās a change so...! I think when I was last on his blog I had 3 tattoos - I now have 8! So in addition to the wand, the āworrying means you suffer twiceā, and the Deathly Hallows symbol, I now have a tattoo of Letaās flower from the Lestrange family tree (with her name and the words ābeautiful. Separate.ā; a tiny tattoo of Harryās scar/glasses; a Night Fury/Toothless tattoo with the words āheart of a chiefā and āsoul of a dragonā; the Chief symbol from HTTYD 2; and the words āNight Furyā in Viking runes.
My hair?! - Again, not important but hey! Letās celebrate! My hair finally grew back and is now blonde! Itās not too long, just about to my shoulders, and my roots are dark blonde whilst the bottom is more bright blonde from dying it in March. Itās silly but hooray!
I met Kevin Guthrie in March! - I met Mr Abernathy himself at Comic Con in London and he was LOVELY. He was such a wonderful man, so cheerful and amazing with the fans. I had some pretty interesting conversations with him about Fantastic Beasts and whether heāll be in the next one...we shall see! He also told us that Poppy Corby-Tuech (Vinda Rosier) is āall about the cosplayļæ½ļæ½ļæ½! And ofc I got some photos with him :)
Iām now 21 - my birthday was obviously in January and Iām old(er) šš I didnāt do anything too special, just saw CoG with the family and then a few days later went to the WB Studio Tour again (which was amazing because my sister has a friend who works there and was showing us props lots of people wonāt ever see!)
Mental Health crap - Obviously Iām not ācuredā or anything. Iām still on Sertraline for my depression (havenāt taken the anxiety one for a while but that is a whole other kettle of fish!) and I still have problems but Iām not as low as I have been these past few years on this blog. Iām proud to say that I have been self-harm free since about March or April (itās hard to remember since the months blur together), and Iām genuinely all the better for it! Part of it is because I didnāt want to damage my tattoos on my arms but itās also because Iāve managed to resist the urge as well!
^ Having said that, Iām on the waiting list to see a doctor/specialist because my GP said there was a possibility I could have autism/Aspergers/be on the spectrum. Itās a LONG waiting list in the UK so it could be a while until I see a specialist, but thereās that. Itās not a bad thing necessarily since it might be a step closer to making sure I get the exact treatment/help I need.
Fandom junk - I already mentioned in my earlier posts that since late February/early March, Iāve gotten REALLY into How To Train Your Dragon. Itās now my main fandom, in fact, which is sad because the last film has come out and thereās just a half an hour Christmas special left to be released this winter š but HTTYD has had such an impact on my life and my mental state, like it has genuinely made me so much happier and (in my opinion) a better person. I still love Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter (I even went to Kingās Cross at the beginning of the month for Back to Hogwarts Day!) but itās not my main fandom right now; I had to take a breather from Beasts and the Beasts fandom because itās really not a great place to be at times. But Iām still into it and Iām waiting for the third film to come out in 2021!
Other random/rather unimportant stuff:
My bed is now overrun with Build a Bear dragons (and the odd baby Niffler)
My sister turned 18 and Iām so...old? I feel so old now omg
Iāve been trying to help the environment by taking little steps like going out litter picking (both on my own and with my dad) whenever I can, and Iāve been using the Ecosia search app as much as possible (for every 45 searches, theyāll plant a new tree!)
I went to Disneyland Paris again in June and it was a lot of fun, I met Peter/Wendy/Alice/Mad Hatter again, there was a false alarm because some twat left their bag at the meet and greet so they had to get the sniffer dog and everything, and I also met Donald Duck, Stitch, Tiana/Naveen AND Rapunzel (Rapunzel is my sisterās absolute favourite, so Iām happy she got to meet her!)
This may be super lame but I got so happy because I got noticed on Twitter several times by Jay Baruchel (the guy who plays Hiccup in How To Train Your Dragon - heās so awesome and loves the character btw), his fiancĆ©e whoās a model keeps liking some of my posts on Instagram, and Cressida Cowell, who wrote the original How To Train Your Dragon books (which are vastly different to the movies but omg theyāre so amazing?!), liked a tweet I sent her about my Toothless tattoo and she loved it?! Iām having a good year celebrity/famous people wise for some reason?! šā¤ļø
I dont know if my blog was still in use when this happened but Iāll mention it anyway... I SAW EZRA AGAIN IN DECEMBER!! I went to watch Sons of an Illustrious Father play in London and it was GLORIOUS. Ezra Miller is GLORIOUS.
(I wonāt post pictures of all the stuff here but... soon maybe?)
So thatās all I can think of...itās been so long since I used this blog and I felt bad just abandoning it, so here we are.
I donāt know how much Iāll still use this blog, but as I said, I definitely donāt want to just abandon it. At the moment, Iām logged into this account on my iPod and onto my account on my phone, and I think Iāll keep it that way. I donāt know how much posting Iāll do here but Iāll still be around, and Iāll try to see if I can keep this blog alive alongside my current one, if people want me to!
I hope you guys are doing well, and Iām glad to have this blog back. Even if you follow my new blog and have been for the last few months, itās still awesome to be talking to guys again on this account!
If you guys want to chat or say anything, feel free! Like I said, if people still want me to be active on here then just let me know and Iāll do my best! āŗļø
