dragons are sooooo awesome no matter what media they are in. aughhhigh.

you're literally so right dragons are >>>>>>

put dragons in anything and it immediately becomes a million times better. for the past week every time I drive to school I put on my dragon audiobook and just go :D the whole time. because dragons!

i have been reading a lot of books that aren't quite my style for a while. i want to be well read and branch out, because while I've read a lot it's been all very concentrated in one area. and I wanna see what's going on elsewhere, and my teacher lent me some books a while back. and while I appreciate the exposure it's also a lot harder to read through because they aren't my preferred genre and I'm unused to it. and because I try not to read too many books at once I've been slow. but!! I recently realized i could listen to books more for fun at the same time! and so my dragon audiobook is getting me through it all rn I'm falling in love with reading again <3

i should rewatch how to train your dragons

also kinda related!! "Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it." quotes I'm unwell about don't mind me. it mentioned dragons so it's relevant :)

ive never liked powerless saiki aus because the entire conclusion of the series is him accepting his powers as being a part of him that he cant change so like.. in aus where the power remover works, half of his development is erased..

if he had been "powerless" for longer, we wouldve gotten to see him realize this himself and im genuinely sad that we didnt.. we got to see him realize that being powerless wasnt the change he wished it would be and that its something he cant change, but its literally over a two day long period and we miss out on sooo much potential development..

and then in aus where hes born powerless, people think he would have the exact personality and development that he THOUGHT he would if he got rid of/didnt have his powers, like NO ? "without powers he would be another satou-" NO he would be a shy, borderline flamboyant, weird, awkward, genius LOSER.

he would have a more normal relationship with his brother (still probably competitive but in a way more average sibling way and kusuke wouldnt have had the motivation to become so murderous) and he would probably be even more friendless but with less trauma.. he may or may not have ever befriended akechi at all, and the classroom incident wouldnt have happened.. even some of his current friends might not be around if not for coincidences due to his powers or direct involvement from his powers.. (nendo and kaido would for sure still be there though, but this only ensures the idea that he would be the biggest fcking loser ever)

he would still be saiki, but. his powers are a key part of him. he would be totally different without them, but NOT in the way he thinks he would..

Thrilled to have survived Christmas this year. Truly, the greatest gift of all is not having to experience December obligations again for twelve months.

Typical makeover scene in a teen movie but in reverse: the girl who dresses in stylishly safe (but boring) clothing asks to get made over by a bunch of maximalist goth punks and she realizes she feels so much happier and more like herself that way when she learns to throw away the fear of being perceived or judged and embrace the things that bring her joy.

okay i FINALLY watched kung fu panda 4 and i have a lot of thoughts, especially about the parallels between tai lung and zhen. tai lung was taken in by shifu, who loved him and believed in him but took pride in him to a fault, leading to the arrogance and entitlement that was tai lung's downfall; zhen was taken in by the chameleon, who criticized her and used her and acted only out of self interest, a belief system that ultimately lead to zhen's rebellion. two young kids each given a chance by a master, one of them with kindness and excessive leniency, the other with mal-intent and no room for error. tai lung and zhen could've easily swapped places and each of them turned out differently. it's so fascinating, and a very smart writing choice to bring tai lung back into focus in conjunction with the the introduction of zhen's character.

spending a whole 2 days in my silly little imaginary world is a fun way to kill time until it kills the time (ohmygod where the fuck did 2 days go)

I literally spent the last week and a half sobbing and thinking about kms every day, and today I did a bunch of chores, crocheted and started writing again. Goodbye depressive episode!! Mania just walked in with the fucking steel chair babeeeyyyy!!

Out of all the things that threw me through a loop in the mario movie, the bros taking their gloves off was the most oddly jarring. I said out loud “they have flesh hAnds!-”

what's even more embarrassing is that they're literally doing this to celebrate a mutual friend finishing exams earlier this week like this is not even remotely about me and here I am making it all about myself yet again!!!!! I feel so guilty

Once more my main complaint with fandom and the reason I stay on the outskirts really just boils down to "can y'all just stop being so fucking mean to each other for like ten minutes?"

when I found out I had ADHD I felt very represented on the internet

when I found out I had autism I found representation and understanding everywhere I looked

and when I found out I had tourettes I became the most isolated and lonely I've ever been

So so so fucking stressed that I hung up the phone on my mom because I can’t fucking do this shit anymore. It’s putting my brain right back in March and you know where I *really* don’t want to fucking be???? March 2022. Put me any fucking where else but there thanks.

every day is an ongoing fight to reclaim surface space from the Stuff. and every time i engage in that battle i doubt more every time that there's a good place in a drawer for half of it to live *and* be something i use.
