Making a birthday cake for a friend tonight (something I haven't done for a while), and I forgot how much I love baking & cake decorating. I'll post pics when I'm done, I'm very excited. 🥰
#archivist talk#the archivist regrets starting nursing school#the archivist#the archivist is a tad stressed but also this fun thing is happening so that's just dandy#i think i might have to give up on the kitchen being a place where one can sit and eat#i never use it for that personally#not because i don't want to#it just lacks the space for it and i don't have a real dining room#(my kitchen is long and narrow)#if i can figure out a good reasonable way to re-arrange the living room such that i can have both a living room AND a small dining corner#i may do that#however given the amount of bookshelves i've got going on & all my other lusts i imagine this won't happen#le sigh#i love my apartment so much#i think if i had a small dining area/dining room that would make the kitchen perfect#and if i had a den that i could put my desk/file cabinet/all adulting work in#that would free up my bedroom to be even more coquettish & focused#and also entirely comfortable#that would change a lot actually goddamn#but alas this building is not going to change#so maybe if one day i could afford a 2 bedroom that had a den .... bonus points if it has wood floors#and those arched doorways that i so love#i would be in heaven#i have to finish nursing school so i can pay for things with less stres#and also help my siblings more#and then maybe so i can get a nice home that would be super cool#but for now i must simply chill as they say

Fixing my favorite handknit socks. I bought these from a thrift store when I was maybe 14 or so. They were an aspirational "maybe one day I will be able to knit like this" pair that I thought was beautiful and that, inexplicably, fits me better than any other pair of socks I've had. Some stranger from the same small town I was in knit a pair of socks, and they were donated, and eventually they made their way to me. It's such a strange coincidence but I am happy to have these socks.
So, I am trying to keep them wearable as long as possible. One day I want to try to copy them exactly. I bet they used a ravelry pattern. Maybe.
The pink bit on one of the socks was an initial mend that felted way more than I thought it would. So I had to cut the entire section and try again, basically.
Anyway. Also fixed two sweaters that were growing holes, and managed to explode my pan of focaccia by turning on the wrong burner.... it's been a day.
#should have called my meds in several days ago but i convinced myself id be in trouble if i tried to refill opiates early#now it will be several days before i can get them and im out except for 1 pill im trying to stockpile. i might use it anyway#in a lot of pain and having trouble doing things because of the pain and the bupe dulls it#anyway. just trying to clean my apartment. continually thinking 'i need a carer i cannot keep doing this'#but i have nobody who can do that and i could barely afford to pay for it#and also crucially i do not want strangers in my fucking apartment so its all very. guess ill die. yknow ?#mending#visible mending#darning#knit socks

i love that the murder time trio all have dangerous little greetings. horror has his little hand drill thing. killer puts a knife up his sleeve and then does a little switcharoo. dust INSTINCTIVELY shoots whoever he sees with a bone. no greeting whatsoever. so just imagine how things go on a first meeting or whatever. immediately horror and killer have to dodge bones from dust and horror's like hey wtf man. mildly irritated but he just met these guys so he's willing to forgive. he's not gonna lose his cool in front of these two random ass guys even though one just tried to kill him. killer just has that dumbass smile on his face like always (but he was intrigued when dust did that. like who tries to kill someone on first sight?? he's curious now :3)
and then theyre all just standing together and staring for a moment and horror sticks out his hand. killer takes the bait but then he just points a knife to horror's stolen eye once he realizes that he got duped and his other hand is now currently being drilled into. dust didn't shake either of their hands because he could see the drill and tell that killer had something off about him in general. but he does give a tiny smile when he sees the state that the two r in rn with the drill and knife. it's an eensy bit funny in his eyes
least violent mtt interaction
#overall?? first good impression on all their parts#except horror because he doesn't like to get threatened or risk dying#but he gets over it (he never does)#i'm at that stage of mtt fan where i cant afford to ignore phantom paps anymore and leave him out from the hc#immediately once dust saw the other two paps commented on how ugly they were#dust must have the strength of fucking Hercules or something because like#phantom papyrus probably drops some of the most hilarious bangers that only he can hear and he just CANNOT laugh or else he'll look dumb#i wouldnt last a day in dusts shoes if phantom paps said shit like that. i'd die of holding back laughter#how many off hand comments does paps make he just has to let out his laughs in private#violence is sooooo funny to them they wish they could throw the other 2 into a volcano#triglycercule will you ever run out of mtt ideas??? i dunno......#as long as im alive i can find a way to make my life about the mtt#this post was written august 22 still a peak idea tho LMAO#the phantom papyrus making outrageous comments thingy is funny enough to be its own post HOLD ON LMAO#listen this didnt happen in my mtt fic LITERALLY about them meeting but it did in another universe TRUST TRUST TRUST#tricule rant#killer sans#dust sans#horror sans#murder time trio#utmv#sans au#i'm so eepy....... i need to stay awake................#still have 70 soon to be 71 drafts left in my loaded gun we WILL survive through the winter if i eat one draft every day

the inspector for you, miss
Inspector Robinson visits Miss Fisher's house often; Mr. Butler insists on announcing him. One does not serve Phryne Fisher without making a few observations of his own. (or: mr. butler, and the household, on miss fisher's very frequent visitor) ✦ mfmm, 2k words, oneshot
“Here for Miss Fisher?”
Inspector Robinson hangs his hat on the bureau hook, folds his coat over his arm, and smiles wanly in his quiet way. “It regards murder, as ever. Though—I’ve interrupted you, have I? I can see myself in. There is no need for an announcement at this early hour, I’m sure.”
Mr. Butler’s apron is dusted with flour; he had been in the kitchen, preparing the day’s bread. “Thank you, Inspector, but it is no bother,” he says.
“Are you certain? I can hear her in the dining room.”
“I think she appreciates the warning,” Mr. Butler says lightly.
Inspector Robinson blinks, taken aback, and says only, “Ah,” before gesturing Mr. Butler to lead the way.
(read here on ao3!)
#miss fisher's murder mysteries#phryne fisher#jack robinson#tobias butler#*fic#happy valentines day this came to me in visions at 1am and here it is 👍👍👍#my brain is fried this show is all i can afford to think about 👍👍👍

i really don’t think it’s asking too much of my roommate to supply some toilet paper every now and then after using half a roll in less than 24 hours when my other roommate and I are the ones who have been buying it the whole time we’ve lived together
#roomie vent#part of me wants to tell my other roommate not to buy any for a little bit and encourage her to pick up some slack#which may sound extreme but i’m kind of at a loss because neither of us can afford to keep up with her waste habits#like i know times are tough but she’s not pitching in at all despite using so many of our toiletries with no restraint#it’s crazy to go through a whole roll in less than 36 hours#and it’s not just that. she doesn’t help with anything#she throws away so much trash that the bag fills up within a couple days and yet she never takes it out. she just lets it fill to the brim#until either i or the other roommate get tired of it and do it for her#and there is a long list of other pet peeves that i won’t mention here because im trying not to dwell on every little thing but damn#she really drives me crazy!

A fun thing you don't know until you have reason to be actually getting quotes is that furniture for public/high-use/corporate (or public-ish) spaces is heckin expensive
presumably because these things need to stand up to tons of use by people over and over and over, but like
I've spent the day researching and requesting quotes for rolling whiteboards and the prices I've seen from companies I'd probably trust are so far a minimum of $800 for a single whiteboard roughly the height of an average 8-year-old.
#my office chair—swiped from what used to be a setup for patrons in the main library area—is probably a $600 chair by itself#it doesn't look impressive or executive or anything (but I love it) (which is why I was looking to see what it would cost)#bought a $100 rolling whiteboard from Amazon once to tide us over because students use these things SO much#and it died in like. 2 weeks.#Normal furniture is not made to stand up to near-constant use all day after day after day#it's not just libraries; education and corporate places seem to be the same (since what I'm looking for is also advertised for them)#anyway the lesson here is please alumni give us money so we can afford stuff#Kayt.txt#tumblarians#working in a library#library life

see I can’t accept charles’ comic background and socioeconomic status as canon for the show because if I did that would mean the whole group would be a bunch of rich kids and that’s a horrifying concept
#ranging from vaguely upper class (niko and charles via comic logic) to presumably quite wealthy (edwin) to straight up ultrarich (crystal)#well off but doesn’t own a mansion -> owns a mansion -> owns several mansions in several countries#but yeah that aside. I don’t like the idea of him being raised upper class or even upper middle and yes I know he went to a private catholic#school that presumably costs a decent amount of money but for one we don’t Know how much exactly by that point in time (I’m assuming it was#more prestigious and expensive back in edwin’s day) and it’s not like middle class or even working class people can never afford#to send their one (1) kid to catholic school. like that’s really not too unusual. I know this is an american example but im thinking about#lady bird and her catholic school situation- her family was financially unstable and still paid for Catholic school because it was (in their#opinion) the best offering for an education in the neighborhood (and as someone who lives in the same city in the same Area of the same#city I can tell you that that choice does make sense even for a non-catholic. the public schools round here can be uhhhhhh rough)#so im seeing charles’ situation sorta like that#his dad seems like the type to want him ‘kept in line’ and ‘whipped into shape’ and I think he’d pay for that if he could manage it#idk something about charles is just……he has an appeal by being the Normal Kid amongst them. not raised as anything special. not having all#his needs met. never expecting to do anything super grand with his life. just a city kid yknow#anyway SOMEONES gotta know how to cook. I don’t think crystal or edwin have ever had to cook for themselves in their lives and niko seems to#live on instant ramen and i mean I bet she can cook very basic japanese meals but that’s about it#please for the love of god tell me charles learned some stuff from his mom and can cook an adequate meal#I know ghosts don’t eat but shut up#rambling#charles#dead boy detectives spoilers

had to stop taking the new adhd medication but the good news is i can drink coffee and iced tea again
#it's the bright side to every time a medication has failed lol#gotta set up an appointment for alt treatments#pretty sure my insurance doesn't cover counseling and i can't afford it... which is why i've been going for meds#it's one of those things where if i have enough going on in my life i can manage my adhd relatively ok but i'm severely under-stimulated rn#i have too much time on my hands so there's nothing for me to force me to do the things that aren't as interesting as say. fucking around#so the variety of stuff i do keeps narrowing and it just gets worse#so all i really need is a kickstart#which!!!!! if stimulants weren't so hard on my body! would be great!!!#i need structure in my life but setting up structure myself is boring#like yoga is something i LOVE doing but it's still hard to get on the mat even though i used to be able to do it every day#i think that more yoga would definitely help but i don't know how to get myself there#rum.txt
