[redvanillabee]

2, 6, 12, 13 🌸

thank you <3

2. what’s your feel-good movie?

I...don't know? Usually if I'm upset I find it hard to focus on a movie. But for some reason I like to randomly pull up Frozen/Frozen 2, so maybe that :)

6. say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non-physical)

already answered :) I like that I'm getting stronger and can physically do things I like, and that I feel comfortable with doing things I like even when that means I'm doing it on my own.

12. how are you?

I'm doing fine :) Work's gonna really pick up in the next couple of weeks, but otherwise things are going just fine.

13. what’s your comfort food?

I'm very much someone who is like when in doubt, get a bowl of siu mai? Not those big fancy ones you get in dimsum restaurants, but the plainer ones in street side stalls. a warm bowl of that with some soy sauce just fixes everything.

45. can you remember what happened yesterday?

send in some weird asks

[levil0vesyou]

i'm so sorry for that monday production story, i hope it doesn't affect you as much now. adults really do say some wild shit and don't even realize how damaging it can be. my dad would point out all the broken and abandoned houses and dirty cars on the street and say they were mine, and i always replied they were his, and we'd start bickering, and then laughed it off, and i only thought about it recently and have no idea why he would say such a thing? i think it subconsciously got ingrained that i'm not good with housekeeping and generally don't deserve nice things (sorry for trauma dumping). just, adults are so weird with their kids and don't realize the damage

(ask is in reference to my tags on this post)

(there's more trauma in this reply btw, fair warning. under a cut bc long)

Thank you, it actually means a lot!! I wasn't even sure if anyone was gonna read it lmao, tag rambling sometimes feels like just straight up screaming into the void lmao

Hate to disappoint, but its effect on me has been increasing for years 😎👍 It's so weird how you can have shit like that lie dormant for ages until you one day go "hang on" and then it starts eating away at you

It also goes really well with her "Niemand wünscht sich ein behindertes Kind" (lit. "Nobody wishes for a disabled child" but can more accurately be translated as "Nobody wants a disabled child") which she only said once and not even about me but basically one shotted me and has been squatting in my brain evilly ever since. Top ten fucked up sentences to completely devastate your disabled child, number 4 will surprise you 😎👍

(I actually did bring that one to her attention years later but she dismissed any effects it had on me on grounds she didn't mean it that way 😎👍)

Yea, that's some bullshit tbh. Like, that's not the kinda shit a father should be saying to their kid, like bro this is an impressionable young mind in your care who trusts you blindly, not your fucking sibling or highschool bestie you can shoot the shit with. Parents give like zero shits what they say to their children, it's wild. And very concerning sometimes

And it would probably be possible to heal that shit more easily if they actually recognised that, maybe even apologised, but at least in my mum's case, she categorically refuses to acknowledge any instances of one of her children being negatively impacted by something she's said or done if we're the ones bringing it to her attention.

Like, I think she recognises some of the stuff she's said and done as not great but any attempt to amend that list will result in her "oh so I'm a horrible person and at fault for all your problems and you refuse to take responsibility hmmm?" spiel 😔

For the record tho I wanna say I don't think she's a horrible mum and especially when it came to material well being/physical health/etc she really did try her best and I could've had it much worse. She was an underpaid nurse raising three children (two of them disabled) mostly on her own while also caring for different sick elderly relatives over the years.

It's a miracle she made it work and while I do think some stuff was unnecessary, some of especially the later stuff that was more affective (not like hitting or anything, the only parental figure who ever hit me was my grandma who did it exactly one time tho even that took many years to process which is how I know "it's okay to hit your kids" ppl are full of shit) which I can far more easily understand & forgive. That said, if your own child says "[thing you did or said] had a negative impact on me" maybe believe them lmao

...yea this is a bit too long huh

the pleasure of reblogging this from a co-nicher in a fandom where "a plastic bag that blows in every so often" is Very Important Canon Actually XD

“Oh the people are gonna love this” I say making the most niche piece of media art work that is really only for me,3 people ,and a plastic bag that blows in every so often

me vs @kookaburrito & @dangerliesbeforeyou

I had this meme idea in my head since we had that convo on kooka's in9 rewatch

[fecklesheckleshacklesschmeckles]

i've been going insane all morning over the fact that R did have a tumblr account!! and yeah, such a teenage tumblerina vibe <3 just spooky aesthetics and photos of himself and the rest of tlog... i see you managed to dig it up through the web archive?? had no idea one could do that! thank you!!

YES WHAT THE FUCK :o

you're super welcome, always happy to share the wayback magic! gorge yourself!! what got saved and not saved is a bit patchy/janky but who knows what'll turn up if you poke around :D

knowledge exchange: how are you finding so many of his posts within the tumblr interface to actually reblog? photos etc are definitely better preserved there 🤔

20, 48 for the ask thing!

20. my favourite movie

fantastic mr fox of course 🦊

48. something i want to do before i die

[redvanillabee]

5, 10, 15, 20 for the ask thing!

thank you for the ask @kookaburrito! 💖

5. What work of yours got more feedback than you expected?

Probably July 22. I thought I might get a few comments, but I ended up getting a bunch of comments for this fic and that was pleasantly surprising.

10. What work was the quickest to write?

It's probably Mall Santa? I got that prompt in my ask box one day and barely days later I got it down. Everything else took me way too long.

15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you?

AC HK AU I have disappointed you. I will actually post something for this fic in 2025.

I am planning to get at least the cold open and the first chapter on AO3, and then post as I write. The problem is I literally cannot come up with a good title. And I'm so stuck there.

20. Which work of yours have you reread the most?

It's either Scars Can Heal and Reveal or Felt Like It's Hopeless. These are two of my fics that are written pretty much because I want to read it. So I do go back now and again.

Judee & Stella ✨️

✨️ Details ✨️

• Yes, Judee did file her nails just like Stella mentioned in that fanfic 💋

• Strawberry 🍓 earrings for both! I feel like it’s so THEM! Plus, who doesn’t love strawberries?

• And a couple of rings because our duo of girls is married! ⬇️⬇️⬇️‼️

Drawing my favourite lesbians definitely brings my inspiration back. ✨️

This drawing is heavily inspired by a dream a friend of mine had 🥳 (Joy = @europalepus9 or also on bsky! = @/europalepus there as well 🍓!) And well, why not illustrate it? Plus, there was no way I was going to miss the chance to draw inspiration from those amazing fics by @kookaburrito, OMG! I’ll take this opportunity to say I LOVE your works, oh my god. Long live Levinshull and your fics❗️

Judee and Stella mean everything to me ☹️🍓 Big thanks to Joy for this idea; credits to them as well for their fantastic mind. Please, Joy, keep dreaming up more things like this so I can illustrate them, sweetheart. Kooka, I adore your writing—kisses, mwah ❤️ ... Thank you all for your likes and reposts! They brighten my heart more than you can imagine. :)

Should I say, Merry Christmas in advance? Bye-bye! 🥳

@kookaburrito brought to my attention how their facial expressions just aaaaask for questionable things they could be looking at

I took this personally and made this insanely high effort edit <3
