I’m having a normal one.
#ra speaks#personal#le sigh#extension I use to hoard tabs crashed when I tried to load up my workout for the day#lost all of my tabs#spent half an hour trying to figure out how/if they were recoverable#alas to no avail#autism brain stressin about losing My Stuff so I bite the bullet#and spend another half hour trying to extract the relevant files from my external hard drive w a backup from July#(I use the same 3-4 tab sets daily and everything else sorta filters to the bottom for reference#anyways kept crashing trying to copy them manually so I open the backup application hoping it won’t automatically overwrite the last backup#it didn’t. took less than two minutes for the relevant files to be restored. I feel a little stupid for getting upset abt this for an hour#gonna do yoga for 45 minutes and pop my anxiety meds to coast for the rest of the day bc I cannot even today#someone remind me to message my psych abt trying a proper adhd med#I’ve been fine w what I got but it does make my resting lvl anxiety a lil higher which makes it easier for me to spiral like this#smh beans pull it together! your labmate put he/she/they pronouns in the syllabus for you! life’s good!

i just wrote out this whole long thing about absolution, and after that, went on r/southernreach, realized a lot of things i had criticism of are probably intentional in ways I had not considered before, re-wrote my thing, and am now sort of having a crisis because i don't............. really care................. about all the red-stringing........................ or like i DO care, but i don't WANT to................ leave me alone (i chose to open the reddit tab)
#not an actual crisis tbc just like#the trilogy was a complete set of books. that is my main opinion.#ah i don't know i feel like i am living in a different reality from all those redditors (IRONY NOT LOST ON ME HERE IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW)#I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BETTER SORRY. PROBABLY I REALLY REALLY NEED TO CLOSE THE TAB AND DO SOMETHING ELSE#txt#wait ok i absolutely activated some sort of scrupulosity/other ocd type demons by doing this. closing the tab.

How I Manage my personal AO3 e-library Archive
Download everything I want/hope to read in EPUB format. I try to anyways... if I notice I got too many tabs open on my browser, time to download If multi-chapter remember first to press 'Entire Work' and then 'Download'
2. I use Book Story (Android App) to manage the mess that is my downloads folder - this app is a great book database manager AND scroll reader with Big letters as well - The app has this fantastic feature that allows me put the books into 'Reading' 'Already Read' 'Planing' 'Dropped' categories; I move the books around and it helps me keep a visual tab on them - , plus if you like scroll reading this one is fantastic at that as well.
Periodically I update the BACKUP of the folder(s) were the copies of books live. KEEP A BACKUP OF YOUR BACKUP , if you mess around and don't got no backup is really painful and irreversible.
On my computer I then make a copy of my messy ass downloads folder from my phone into my computer. While looking at the visual information the app provides me I delete books that I 'Dropped' and I move 'Already Read' books into my computer E-Library Data Base (I use Calibre) that's my main book hub where I will quickly notice what books need covers and I take my time working to finding an image I like for the book , so I can recognize them books by just looking at the covers I am terrible at remembering book titles
If you are curious this is what Calibre looks like - this is just AO3
3. To read EPUB books I use Libera FD Is frankly the best reader I have tried because I prefer page turning. If you like scroll reading Book Story is much better option for scroll reading.
Libera FD can customize pretty much EVERYTHING and is very very feature rich ( it can be overwhelming) HUMONGOUS FONT SIZE , you can download any font you want to use, replace words if I want to , it has OLED dark mode for reading at 3 am, you can configure it so it reads to you (using TTS) , several reading modes including auto scroll and speed reading mode, and so much more; the dev(s) are still updating and adding functions to it is kind of amazing I am probably not using it to its full potential You can sort books by 'Genre' which is how the app recognize the tags from the website.
Here some visuals of Libera FD (I wrote in the ALT of pics, click on it)
Book Story is a neat app , less overwhelming and the UI is a lot more intuitive. It looks like this for me , you can configure the essentials to your preference. Is a fairly new app be patient with it (sometimes just give two minutes to cook) , it is still being updated. The dev is very active if you got suggestion or present bugs.
4. How to provide enrichment to glorious magnificent authors , that share their passion with us for free. When you open any ao3 .epub on either of these apps the links are underlined. I tap on the link it leads back to the original posted website page at the beginning of every book you get from A03.
Tap the link, keep it open in your browser and star reading.
Open a note taking app.
I usually take notes about my silly musings as I read, copy quotes and whatever else I want to leave in the comment section of the chapter I am on. Cut and paste and that's it. I load the next chapter in the website and then continue reading the next chapter on the reading app (I comment on all the chapters if I have something to comment, sometime I don't have anything to say so I don't . Figure it makes authors happy and i find it very fun. Sometimes they answer back it feels nice) remember to leave kudos and comments specially if you are rereading.
I use Quillpad (android app) the most important feature of any note taking app you choose, in this case in particular, is that it saves your notes automatically (I used some apps that didn't it was devastating losing all my notes like that. I though that as long as I didn't close the app it was fine turns out not - some you have to manually save - and sometimes it would timeout and gone , all my notes gone. With Quillpad I haven't lost notes)
I haven't taken the time to figure out if Librera has a feature for annotation that could be useful for commentary note taking
I think that's all I can think of sharing on this topic. I am open to questions and adding things to this post with visual aid and whatever I can do to help , do let me know.

...Im having thoughts and i need a 2nd opinion.
How long ago do we reckon trolls were caught/eaten/found by bergens? (relative to the great escape for simplicity)
lemme walk you through my thoughts...
we dont know how the tunnels got there, did the trolls dig them? or something else? or were they always there?
When did Peppy decide to use the tunnels? when were they discovered?
How many trolls did the bergens eat. surely at first they must have bean eating HEAPS of trolls daily before realised that they would run out. how long was it until then?
It had to have been long enough that they would have then decided to make trollstice (help cant spell) a yearly tradtion. could it at first have been monthly?
We dont know how many pop trolls there were at first. have their number gone down? by how much? since more being eaten means less babies.
How many queens/kings were at the troll tree? Just peppy? his parents? But that raises the question of wether or not any of the escaped trolls remember a time before the bergens.
-- A brand new, different anon.
GOD you reminded me of when i eventually realized how massively fucked the pop trolls were pre 1st movie. i remember trying to read everything i could that talked about it and staying up til 4 am to do it because holy hell they were being eaten on a yearly basis. IM HOLDING UR HAND AND SHAKING IT REALLY HARD. and im gonna answer this as jumbled as i can bc. its me. the professional yapper.
on that note ! all under read more to spare everyones dashboards
also, i havent really gone through actual specific numbers, my brains just settled on some vague decision that the pop trolls dont pass the hundreds, or five hundreds. that is to say, poppy would probably still try to know everyone by name just bc she would lol. so i hope you guys can just make up imaginary numbers of years too !!
we dont know how the tunnels got there, did the trolls dig them? or something else? or were they always there? When did Peppy decide to use the tunnels? when were they discovered?
ive always kinda assumed that the pop trolls dug it themselves! they knew about it long enough that they bothered to leave behind decoys of themselves after all. im assuming its a part of a long, long long list of attempts to escape, and they finished digging just a bit before the last trollstice. peppy wasnt gonna risk losing any more, especially since poppy herself was gonna be given to gristle
How many trolls did the bergens eat. surely at first they must have bean eating HEAPS of trolls daily before realised that they would run out. how long was it until then? It had to have been long enough that they would have then decided to make trollstice (help cant spell) a yearly tradtion. could it at first have been monthly? We dont know how many pop trolls there were at first. have their number gone down? by how much? since more being eaten means less babies.
i lost the damn reddit post so im gonna make my own screenshot instead LOL
from left to right, classical, techno, pop, funk, country, and the red blob under them; rock with a mix of other trolls
so like. THIS FUCKING DEVASTATED MEEEEEEEEEEEE. assuming theres more classical trolls just off screen, the visible sheer difference in numbers from the pop trolls in comparison to the other tribes (FUNK IS AN OUTLIER HUMOR ME) just. genuinely left me a bit speechless.
and if you go back to the first movie and remember that the entirety of their village fit in branch's bunker not to mention the DAMN POT? it just. really puts itself into perspective. bc that stage was still relatively big, but the pot. the fucking pot. the entirety of pop village
ALL of them. in THERE? isnt that crazy? we can say that some escaped, sure. but just the fact that they couldve gotten wiped out just like that is so. messed up to me man ToT
i dont remember which fic i read it from anymore, but there was a line going how the pops initially outnumbered the other tribes and thats how they were ever able to threaten actually overtaking everyone. and like. YEAH SURE. fuck me up even more like that why dont ya!!!!!
so suffice to say, pop troll population not doing so hot! and all your thoughts is just one domino falling after another. you piece together the pieces and ultimately just ending up with one undeniable answer. they got eaten. simple as that.
How many queens/kings were at the troll tree? Just peppy? his parents? But that raises the question of wether or not any of the escaped trolls remember a time before the bergens.
and ur first question, putting them together for one last godawfully long ramble :]
How long ago do we reckon trolls were caught/eaten/found by bergens? (relative to the great escape for simplicity)
the fact that world tour makes it a point to say that only peppy ever knew of the other tribes makes me lean more onto the assumption that its been... a while? but also like. no one's ever mentioned viva? no one remembers the princess who was old enough to fight bergens and mention that to poppy??? whos to say these guys arent just repressing everything as they always do????????? [ITS HARD TO ARGUE SPECULATIONS HERE BC they had to make plot for the movies to make sense!!! its why it feels so mean to me to just blame everything on peppy LMAO. even if that is the easiest way to make sense of it. I WANT NUANCE DAMMIT]
so for the sake of it. i like to think that theyve been under the bergens' capture long enough that everyone outside of the royal family forgot about the time that they were even free from the bergens. long enough that the royal family could rewrite the scrapbooks to make it seem like it wasnt their fault. that it never was. whether to spare themselves the blame, selfish deniability, or just. give up the hope that there was a single minuscule possibility to have help from the outside.
i said before that i headcanonned peppy holding resentment for them in the belief that no one could ever bother to just check. and thats part of the reason why he doesnt even want to attempt getting to know them, since it probably felt like no one EVER cared except for themselves.
again. im sorry that i dont have a specific number for you though ToT the most i can say is that: its long enough that they forgot.
POST ANSWER ASK RAMBLEEEE
heres a fic that made me ugly cry about this! i think it gives really good answers to your questions!!!!!!! and though it doesnt completely fit with whats 'canon' (when has anything ever) its such a horrifying and deliciously good outlook on how the bergens affected the pop trolls as a whole! cant recommend it enough!! please leave the author kudos and love especially if this is your type of jam!!!
more than anything. the realization of how hard the pop trolls' lives mustve even been prior to the first movie made me have so much fucking love for them even more?? T_T even if it is unhealthy to an outside perspective, they tried to stay positive, and they got through all those yearly eatings thanks to it, no wonder they try to stay within that mindset even after everything. sometimes i wonder if they felt like its all they had
#ask#LONG ASS POST.#side note: world tours art book imply that king quincy and queen essence lived long enough that they protected their people from being#overtaken by pop#so for the sake of my mental health and this VERY VERY LONG RAMBLE. we're just gonna ignore All That. thank you for understanding <3#this post took me too long. i accidentally closed the tab and lost progress not once but TWO TIMES.#please forgive me for any inconsistencies. consider that im just a guy with too much time on their hands.#and anon! im really dumb and i cant tell if your serious about being actually new or not KJHLKJHFDLJKDF#BUT WELCOME EITHER WAY!!!#THANK U FOR GIVING ME AN EXCUSE TO YAP ABOUT ONE OF THE MOST FUCKED UP THINGS ABOUT TROLLS EVER <33333333#i messed up the funk troll monarch names please put the pitchforks down im sorry#ALSO TUMBLR KEEPS FUCKING UP THE FORMAT EVERYTIME I TRY TO EDIT THIS SORRY

I have a wild, new, & bold suggestion for a tumblr feature:
When a tag is recommended or trending. & It previews some posts IN that tag, (showing you thumbnails of art, for instance,) then maybe.
Clicking on that post. Should show you that fucking post.
#em.txt#i use mobile so maybe it's not liek this on desktop#the number of times a trending tab will preview some fire art i cannot find has built this hatred in me#the weird thing is clicking a different preview WILL take you into a different part of the tag/jumble the order#like very consistently you click post A & it shows you posts 1 then 2 then 3#& then you click post B & it shows you 2 then 1 then 3 & clicking A again still has that 1-2-3 order#but for some reason clicking the posts does NOT show you the post you clicked#it's frustrating because like.#you're using trending as a thing to showcase yes? here's what people are talking about!#here's the current news/interests! & here's some of the big posts in that current happening!#& the majority of those tend to be like art or memes that people madr#so if you're using their shit in your broadcast i would enjoy to be able to FIND THEIR SHIT.#am i being unfair & a bitch? yes. but i was actually going to be way meaner about this#which is not an excuse at all. i know i am being vile. i do not care atm.#because yeah i am the type of person who gets mad when I can't find the artists responsible for fire stuff#if i enjoyed their art i might look at their other stuff & enjoy that too & rb & maybe follow#& then maybe my followers also do the same#but here the art is being used to pad out the trending tab but isn't being appropriately linked to#meaning it makes the trendings look good but the artist is lost while their works are still used#& that already happens enough.#i have been pissed for years at this

Kissing pirates on the mouth fr. Thank you random person who still held onto a 2012 CS6 Master Collection Keygen for over a decade and kept seeding for it, coming through in my time of need.
The importance of holding onto ancient torrents and keeping em seeded cannot be overstated. This was the only still functional link I could find.
#misc#everytime i yarrharr i'm touched by the weird sense of community that it is#esp when you check the swarm tab in Vuze and see all those people from various places around the world seeding for you#even more so when it's a singular person slowly and painstakingly seeding a very niche and underground file you been looking for#a connection indeed#anyway i'm setting up my new computer and reinstalling the CS6 suite has been a headache due to many things#like the fact i somehow lost my old keygen apparently. could have been big suck if this person didnt come thru for me

Need everyone to know that today I accidentally closed all of my old tabs out and have already opened 27 new ones
#I’m literally cursed#babygirl I have tabs open from 2016#no but I was literally devastated when I lost all my tabs#cause sometimes I do not bookmark fic I will just be like oh I’ll come back later it’s in my tabs#and now it’s all gone#forever…..#ghost thoughts

always love more dh song recs if youve got them but also are there any dh fics you'd personally recommend <3 ive been scouting and finding good well-characterized ones is an ordeal unfortunately
SONGS! these are the old ones from my sideblog: - girl with one eye by florence + the machine is about billie and delilah (they change places depending on my mood) - worms (re-edit) by aliceband billie. im going. insane. this is too personal 2 me.
i don't read that much fics (its hard for me to read in general tbh. embarrassing) but here's five i really like:
come hell or high water - emily & billie talk! their dialogue is executed here perfectly, im in love. also it was a dhgift for me, how can i not recommend it? 10/10
The Contract - THE CONTRACT
the ghosts of the hound pits pub - billie/cecelia fic. honestly i haven't yet fully read it because i need to take breaks to scream (/pos). love me a good written rarepair.
your reward's in the sweet by and by - LOVED the idea. this fic is what inspired me to make the billie mimir au.
Witches, Bitches, and Pulling Out Stitches - emily/billie after the events of dh2. it's lighthearted (/pos) imo, i found the story captivating. this fic touches upon the fate of the witches after the delilah's coven is gone. pretty sure it has other fics related to it's plot, but i haven't read those yet (but afaik the plot goes wild in a good way).
as always song and fic recs are appreciated! <3
#you've probably read some of those#also thanks for fic asking. you've reminded me that i should make a proper ao3 acc#ive had all those scattered around like 90 different tabs#there was two more ive read a long ago but i lost them in the incoherent mess my tab organization is#ALSO if links don't work correctly please tell me and ill fix it#thaaank you for the ask!#ask game tag

I have a problem with longfics in which I will dive headfirst into them and read so fucking quickly, but then I’ll lose motivation 3/4ths of the way through (and it’s very very rarely a fault of the writing itself, I’ve experienced this with more longfics than I can count) and switch to something else and then never come back to the original one and it’s so sad 😞
And if I do end up coming back, I have another problem where I can’t pick up a fic right where I left off unless I remember it really really well. I HAVE to reread the whole thing… and then I end up quitting right around the same place I quit before anyways
#I want to read them I do#but my brain loses all interest#I’ve got 3 separate longfics sitting in my google tabs rn and I can already tell I’m starting to drop a 4th one I’m reading#they’re SO good but my brain just CANT DO IT#I think it’s related to gifted kid burnout tbh because I would do this with books too when I was in school#hell I still do it with books#I quit reading Songbirds and Snakes because I got to act 3 and just… couldn’t do it#my brain lost all interest once the actual hunger games part had concluded#everyone in my family who’s read it keeps telling me I should read the rest but I just cant#the very idea of reading it bores the fuck outta me

I really shouldn't be allowed to look at/read Goro centric things because my tabs look like this and my drafts are mostly fan art. I may have a problem.
#; ooc || bri ♟️#; To Be Deleted || Keep That Shit to Yourself ♟️#//Also those tabs don't even compare to how many I have saved to read later on AO3 and my bookmarks.#//I can't read fast enough because my brain can't stay on wanting to read one specific theme.#//And I don't wanna reblog all the art in my drafts because then I'll swamp the dash and my horrible writing attempts will be lost asdfghjk#//I need to figure this out though cause i'm losing my mind.

holding myself back from making an ebay account because i know that the moment i buy my first vintage drink coaster or postcard i will not be able to stop myself from blowing all my money on useless kitsch
#anon.txt#i saw a very nice vintage slide rule WITH original carrying case for 12 dollars and it hurt to close the tab on it#but i know that once i start i will not stop#until i've lost all my money and have a dragon's hoard of useless shit from the last century

oh my god that google doc story is terrifying blease give libreoffice a try 😭 it's free
omg i will. i think i used it once and it was like a whole new world. then i probably lost the tab somewhere in my alexandria's library of open browser tabs and never remembered it existed because adhd
#it's not always an alexandrias library of tabs. it varies bc i do regular cleanups#but if my laptop fucks up after a shutdown amd i cant recover all my open tabs? a comparable amount of information is lost to the ages
