#is that i dont want to have wasted my time on something that i wont get😭

it's always super weird when you find out someone you thought you vibed with doesn't actually like you that much and really just tolerated you.

maybe it's just a neurodivergent problem. maybe normal people can always tell.

i can never tell. you talk to me a lot about our many shared interests, we hang out a lot, I thought we had chemistry, I felt comfortable with you and you never seemed uncomfortable with me, and you never told me I upset you...

but I guess I'm the idiot for being an open book and always telling people if they've done something I don't like. and for being willing to have hard conversations about boundaries from time to time.

my bad.

The problem with the acolyte marketing…

so because i’m insane and delusional and i also have severe anxiety disorder and was worried i spent a whole week unhealthily obsessing over something like a lunatic therefore neglecting my real life which tends to happen when a hyperfixation strikes me, i looked a bit into other star wars shows and how they performed on socials, especially in regards to marketing… unfortunately was met with bad news and it concerns me about season 2 of the acolyte but i’m a worrier not a warrior so i tend to dramatise and turn to being cynical about everything 😭

like first of all there was no merch campaign to be found anywhere? if you look it up, other shows have a bunch of merch. didn’t find any for e.g andor either but that brings me to my next point

there are no hashtag emojis on twitter. i know this seems silly but it actually helps a lot! when people use hashtags it creates engagement which increases numbers in general performance and i think sometimes even helps ratings. we got no hashtags for this shows which is ridiculous? i mourn the cute little mae/osha icons…

interviews have been very helpful but compared to other shows, the views on them, as in youtube, have been really low and there’s no way to tell if that actually counts for something. the marketing team on socials has also not really been promoting these interviews and informing people of access

the review bombing has been too extreme. leslye confirmed they know and don’t really care about that stuff but if you go on twitter, you won’t be able to find a single post about the acolyte without “show probable sp*m” under it. the tiktok community has not been much better. i refused to go on reddit but i’m sure the situation there isn’t that hopeful either. the show’s getting so much hate, as do the actors. especially amandla.

it’s sort of hard to find any positivity anywhere. yes, millions are watching but they also did that for other shows. i’m still worried😭

the biggest thing giving me hope is the fact these are brand new characters and brand new era that has never been done before in live action so yes if the numbers are a bit lower, it makes sense as other shows had familiar characters. plus a lot of people started watching after the villain reveal (thanks manny) which increased viewership numbers after episode 5.

but my cynicism is still making me crazy. even if we do get renewal, i want the marketing team to step it up!!!!! it feels unfair this show hasn’t gotten what the other shows did.

It *does* hurt that I got let go without any warning (even if I knew it was a possibility, especially since it's the slow season now and they're specifically replacing half of my department with other stuff) *because* I've been looking for other jobs with the plan to do a full two-weeks notice when I found one, and I've been secretly planning this entire time to eventually leave, making things as neat and easy as possible for whoever ends up overseeing my department. I didn't want any of the extra work to fall on my coworkers, the other department managers who have their own workloads. So it really sucks that higher-ups decided that I didn't deserve any warning, and neither did any of my teammates who will now have to pick up all the slack without any guidance from me.

Had an ADHD assessment a few years ago and the fuckwit that assessed me said, as a direct quote, "You're too smart to have ADHD." Like that's not any type of paraphrasing, that stupid fucking statement is burned in my brain forever and has been since I heard it.

I talked to my psychiatrist about getting a referral to a different psychologist for assessment, and she agreed and sent it in.

Today I got a call that said they don't agree that I need reassessment, and I'm welcome to pursue it elsewhere, but they won't provide reassessment. Which is just.

I don't even know where to start with that one. I just needed to get it out. I'm so tired.

i truly just need to accept my hair is a fucking mess and i cannot have it long and able to be styled like i always wanted and just give up and cut it all off again, like it looks stupid everyone tells me how uneven its cut since i cant go to hairdressers and hate cutting my own hair and how dry and frizzy it is, it looks ugly and while i really dont lile short hair on me and it feels uncomfortable for me if i want to work and be taken seriously i need to just suck it up and live with it its just pathetic at this point like im not 8 anymore what is wrong with me 😭

also i need to be work to get enough to money for hair cuts im left with uneven bangs that are even harder to hide then the rest of it because too long and they trigger migraines, got the mikan hair cut its that uneven LMAO
