I’ve literally been up every 30 minutes and need to be out of the house and arrived at by destination by 8:30 along w/ taking care of everything related to my family/dogs/household. I should try to sleep for another hour… hell who am I kidding… another possible 30 minutes but then it’s always harder to wake up. ahhh the life of an insomniac. getting to sleep isn’t even my problem anymore (it used to be so bad) but it’s staying asleep that just is impossible (especially on antibiotics and some of my other meds). that whole saga in the notes.
#I hope I’m functional plzzzz g-d#and I was battling the return of my ear infection (seeing an ENT this week finally!) bc I have severe Eustachian tube#dysfunction and have had a history of it so the fluid behind my ears has nowhere to go so it’s gets reinfected + made worse by#the immunosuppressants and my disease itself#so that’s why I’m off my heavy duty meds and it’s still not healing#so I’m on another round of antibiotics that I think is finally helping a bit w/ pain since it’s the 36 hr mark#this ear/sinus/whatever mystery ENT is triggering chronic migraine episodes daily despite all of my chronic migraine meds due to how#inflamed and irritated my trigeminal nerve - stimulating a migraine#that and my auto inflammatory disease going haywire and made worse by not being on the meds that made my ear infection worse to begin w/#it’s a miserable cycle#and the pain has kept me up all night too#I just hope I get better as in look like a human and put one foot in front of the other

It is genuinely diabolical that szayel lives so rent free in mayuri’s head that when something gives him an Emotion he fucking lucid daydreams entire conversations with the dude
Honestly, he did get a lot from Szayel’s lab and had freshly brought out his Arrancar zombies he copped from the guy, so it makes sense he was fresh in Mayuri’s mind.
But I think it’s less to do with Szayel and more to do with Mayuri’s own words being thrown back at him. Szayel could be anybody; what makes him special enough to tulpa is the clash of Mayuri’s mindset during his battle with Szayel vs Mayuri’s emotional reality laid bare during his battle with Pernida.
He fell to the same hubris that he mocked Szayel for. On top of almost dying from failing to recognize hallmark powers of a Quincy; something he has spent INSANE hours putting study in to the point that Mayuri is out here bragging he has nothing else to learn from Quincy as a whole.
Szayel is dead and Mayuri killed him with upmost disrespect and mockery. He represents stagnation in discovery. Szayel deified his own prowess and was proven mortal.
Just like Mayuri is post-Pernida.
It would be too painful for Mayuri to simply admit to himself that he genuinely loved Nemu and was scared of losing her. Or to admit in his own words that he’s frustrated with himself for losing.
That his efforts to treat Nemu like an object didn’t change that feeling within him. That he abused and took for granted his greatest accomplishment only to end up in a position where he has to start all over again. And even if that was always the plan, it’s painful because Nemu was no longer a number. He is losing his fucking mind with spirit Szayel screaming at him because he is just some guy who loves people like everyone else, underneath everything.
Much easier to lucid day dream someone you killed ruthlessly laying into you for *checks notes* getting attached to your pseudo-daughter and being genuinely sad she died. Let alone all the fuck ups during the battle.
#still think Senju would’ve been more fun#but it’s FINE#Mayuri still fell miserably :)#love to see my blorbo fail#He could’ve failed more tbh#Mayuri having to grapple with a hand he is constantly having to keep from infecting the rest of his body#representing the constant cycle of emotional rot he must overcome to be the Scientist he dreams of being#Which most people would view as a horrible goal#But this is Mayuri we’re talking about#RIP Nemu. One more battle and maybe she would’ve found it in her to move in with Nanao or something

Just realized that Menelaus waging war against the Trojans is almost as much about Hermione as is it about Helen. Think of it: if Menelaus chose to remarry and had children with a second wife, Hermione would’ve been considered a bastard + treated the same way Orestes and Electra were…
#especially since hermione is a girl… what good is a daughter of a husband deserter to a king? to their kingdom?#her life would have been so much more miserable#makes me sick to my stomach…#menelaus#helen of sparta#hermione of sparta#the iliad#epic cycle

You’d think that loving (almost) every character in a media would be great but everytime I think about how much I love every character in the epic cycle I die a little more inside. They’re all so tragic and doomed???? Nothing but misery comes from thinking about them too much
#loving Hector Achilles and Patroclus is definitely one way to confuse myself#loving Odysseus but like also low-key being miserable liking him because good lord does this guy get put through the works#Loving Menelaus and Paris at the same time? more likely than you!d think#still love their wife more (Helen ilysm)#Enjoying Agamemnon and Clytemnestra while also reading the Oresteia is putting ME through the works#And if I think about the women of Ancient Greece I will bawl. Oh god Andromache and Cassandra ilys#don’t get me started on Penelope and Telemachus they get the personal baguette familyism experience#deadbaguettesrambles#the epic cycle

you are complaining about complaining too much while complaining about the fact that maybe people dont like you because you complain too much while complaining about being alone. just stop complaining and do something about it. talk to people. reach out. dont just wait for someone to come to you first.
i have tried reaching out to different people in the past year or so but it never works. i understand its my own fault for letting relationships decay because of my own insecurities and issues but that doesn't mean i can just will myself to think or believe different things about myself. it's a self fulfilling prophecy ; i think people don't like me so i don't reach out so people don't like me etc . i am sure you do not want to hear me list all the things i want to say in response so i will put them in the tags.
#every time i try to reach out or talk to someone it goes nowhere. i dont have any social skills anymore and have no clue how to keep a#conversation going. half the time even when i do people stop replying to me. which is fine theydont owe me a reply but still feels likeshit#when i tried to make one new irl friend it just didn't work because they have better options for friends. we spoke occasionally but never#messaged online like ever and would only talk when we happened to be in the same place. i tried multiple times to organize a time to hangou#none of which came to pass. i dont understand why this one didn't work because i thought this person was interested in being my friend but#i guess i was wrong or thought they were more interested than they really were.#i have a problem with reaching out anyway which has been a problem i have had since i was like 11. reaching out to people first doesnt come#easily to me - in the beginning when i was a lot younger i didn't want to bother people with my presence & thought if i were to come to#someone first they would feel pressured into talking to me when they didn't want to. this is stupid of course. but has still not left me as#something i feel is very core to the way i act today. waiting for someone to come to me first feels like my only option because i do not#know how to reach out effectively (my evidence being i have failed every time i have tried) & i am convinced people dont like me in the#first place and do not want me to approach them.#i dont really even know who to reach out to in the first place. my world is extremely narrow. the number of people i know has shrunk#significantly and my standing in their eyes collectively has also shrunk significantly in the past few years. i feel like every person i#was once friends with wants nothing to do with me. i feel as if i have burned every bridge possible.#when it comes to the fact i complain all the time . which i know of course is annoying. its because i cant find any kind of joy in anything#i do or see or whatever. nothing makes me happy - i only see things to complain about. all stimulus seems grating and the world seems#specifically catered to make me miserable. all i can really do is complain. i treat this blog like a stream of consciousness and when most#of that consciousness is occupied with how much i hate being alive the blog will mostly be complaining. its a vicious cycle lol .#anyway . i guess the key theme is low self esteem begets low self esteem in many ways. mental illness begets mental illness.#i am not really saying this to anyone least of all to you anon. i just felt compelled to recount i guess for myself the reasons that came#to mind for why i am like this. i am talking to myself here

kuukou encourages and believes in jyushi’s strength while firmly believing that he’s a weak person. if kuukou is having a bit of a rough time forgiving himself for past mistakes while telling hitoya that he needs to move on from his past weighing him down in harmonious cooperation, then i hope with every fibre of my being that this is going to be something jyushi and hitoya are actively saving kuukou from (from himself lol)
#vee queued to fill the void#*falls to my knees* oh godDAMN it’s been a long ass time since i thought that kuukou often doesn’t practice what he preaches holy shit#i am once again begging for kr to make me and kuukou MISERABLE in the upcoming bat track lmao#if you keep writing kuukou with these fcking cycles you have to circle back to them PLS PLS PLS PLS PLSSSSSSSSSSS#I NEED KUUKOU TO ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE RIGHT BUT GOING ABOUT IT IN THE WRONG WAY AND EVEN MORE TO HIS DETRIMENT#AND FOR JYUSHI AND HITOYA TO BREAK THE CYCLE AND STOP HIM#BREAK THE CYCLE OF HIS SUFFERING JYUSHI AND HITOYA THE CONCEPTS KUUKOU TALKS ABOUT KEEP CIRCLING BACK AROUND AND HE KEEPS GOING THRU IT#IF YOU BREAK THE CYCLE OF SUFFERING AND KARMA YOU ATTAIN ENLIGHTENMENT#AND WOULD IT NOT BE THE FINEST POETRY 🗣️👏👏👏 IF KUUKOU FOUND NIRVANA WITH HIS TEAM BRO#🗣️👏👏👏 AFTER PROMISING TO DO JUST THAT IN FOR THEM IN HARMONIOUS COOPERATION#THIS IS WHAT I MEAN ABOUT KUUKOUS KARMA HIS INTENTIONS ARE USUALLY GOOD AND THATS WHY HE GETS REWARDED FOR THEM IN THE FORM OF BEING SAVED#KARMA IS DEFINED AS THE INTENT GOOD OR BAD THAT INFLUENCES FUTURE CONSEQUENCES GOOD OR BAD#HE WANTED TO SAVE REN AND HITOYA SAVED HIM FROM UNJUST PUNISHMENT#HE WANTED TO SAVE UNAMI AND HE WAS REWARDED FOR IT BY ICHIRO SAVING HIM FROM HARM#HE WANTED TO SAVE JYUSHI AND HITOYA FROM THEMSELVES SO!!!!!!!!

Really putting all my effort into not whining about how uncomfortable I am to anyone who will listen. And failing.
#this IVF cycle was not that physically uncomfortable until last night#but now I’m miserable#and I found out this afternoon that I’m gonna go longer than expected#I thought my retrieval was gonna be Monday but now it looks like Wednesday#which means probably 8 more injections#and that I have to make it through TWO office days at peak discomfort#I want to be done already!#last night I literally dreamed I was pregnant and IN LABOR because I was so physically uncomfortable

I miss the days where art wasn’t Extremely Hard to do. You guys remember when I would draw every day? I remember when I would draw every day . It’s weird how drawing every day makes art not Extremely Hard to do, too.
#I don’t share my writing -> cannot talk about writing#cannot draw -> cannot share my ocs#cannot share my ocs -> depression#depression -> cannot be creative at all actually and complains about it online until i feel better#miserable cycle.

rereading trc and whelk is so funny because he’s so miserable, bro is just stuck in a constant state of wet cat bc of one thing that happened to him in high school
everything reminds him of a reason to be miserable, my guys two favorite phrases are “sigh i remember when my dad was rich…:(” and “czerny, my high school bestie, would’ve loved this…sigh i remember czerny…:(“
he is literally “:(“ personified
#there’s something so lovable about miserable men#i could fix him#well maybe not but i could make him more miserable#honestly can’t remember if he did anything problematic besides try to kill neve?#the raven cycle#barrington whelk#whelk#trc#tdt#bllb#trk#maggie stiefvater#noah czerny

thinkin bout that one scene in invincible where mark and his friends are all hanging out but he just hovers alone by the window all tense until eve conjures him a non-alcoholic drink so he can join in and have fun :(
#this stuff is what runs through my head when mark is like 'i have to quit college i have to get better i have to be better'#the decision makes sense broadly but with mark's specific heroing tendencies it's Not Great#bro's already waaaaay too down on himself he doesn't need any more excuses to make his life miserable#bc misery -> stress -> anger -> violence and then the cycle just continues baby#willow whispers#invincible
