#make the habits stick

The final awakening…..

Is this the final awakening? I’m asking myself this today. How many times have I started over and how many times will I “start over” on my journey? I think I’m really asking myself the hard questions after a particular horrible couple of days. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were rough. My body hurt in ways it hasn’t before and my energy levels were in the toilet. Worse yet was the amount of time I was spending in and out of the bathroom. My body is not in a healthy happy place and it shows in my skin and bathroom habits. I actually broke down and told my husband how horrible I feel and what a mess my gut health and general health is. He looked me in the eyes and said “I know you’re not feeling the best, so fix it”! I got a bit upset and argued that it wasn’t that simple. His response was “why not?” He told me that I have all the tools and the knowledge and I’m just not using them and you know what? He’s right! I have all kinds of workout stuff but I chose to let it gather dust. I have gym membership that I haven’t been using. I got the greens but really didn’t like the taste so don’t drink it. I skip my vitamins most days because I’m lazy. I snack in crap instead of making myself an actual meal or something healthy to eat. I just continually self sabotage which made me ask myself, am I going to self sabotage myself into a hospital bed or an early grave? So now I ask myself “is this the final awakening? And can I make the habits stick?” I don’t know but I do know that I need to start again and try before it’s too late so yesterday and today I experimented with the green juice and mixed it in different things. It’s not as horrible in orange juice. I took my vitamins and instead of snacking on chips and Ichiban noodles and other crap I made myself a tuna sandwich this afternoon and I tracked it all as intake so I can make sure I’m getting enough protein. All any of us can do is try and then try again because as many great people have said “it’s not about how you get up after you fall. It’s about the fact that you actually get up again and again”!

okay kind of just had a moment and i'm not trying to vague post or anything since it isn't a big deal and i hate even having to say anything?!?! but i'm just gonna get it out so there's no confusion or anything : i really want to priotize writing, storytelling, collaboration and development on finn / faith. so i'll be unfollowing mutuals who either haven't responded to my attempts at plotting and / or those i just can't see myself actually collaborating with (and by that i mean writing something juicy together, not just random starters / replies that never go anywhere). this also applies to pals with multiple blogs like love you bad but what are we gonna write between finn and daffy duck?? please let's be fr. i also hard block blogs for about a week before unblocking .... this is because i have bad badddd memory issues!! it's not personal in anyway!! i have no beef with anyone!! i hope y'all can understand and won't be offended by my actions <3

i think it's one thing to know, theoretically, what is happening to people in palestine, and another thing entirely to see the pictures and videos of it. and while i have mixed thoughts on people posting these things online without any warnings, because yeah - seeing a mutilated human body is horrific - i can't help but think it's necessary to look at and face, at least once. the people it's happening to don't have the luxury of looking away

I loooove the jp fandom's headcanon that geeta and larry are childhood friends who met during their time in the academy and, sometime in the future, geeta personally recruited larry to work for the paldean pokemon league, as she must be one of the first people who knew of his prowess in pokemon battling! Like yeah, the whole geeta being a "strict boss who is frustrated by larry's stubborn insistence to be an average worker that she has to assign him different workloads just to broaden his horizon" idea is intriguing, but stepping it up a notch by making geeta be the "best friend a.k.a the only one who has seen larry at his very best and his very worst, and knows for a fact that he could excel at anything he put his mind into if he steps out of his comfort zone, so she doesn't particularly drag him out of said zone, but pushes him out of it each time she can because she can't bear to see her best friend be unaware of the good chances and positive things that awaits him out there, not if she has a (small) say in it" is also downright hilarious 😭🤚

in a secondary, follow up note, in which no one cares (but me), full disclosure i'm a big fan of commonplace books. i keep one for every character i rp which...means i currently have a grand total of one (1) for @transistorized and it's full of mechanical and electrical engineering, space stuff, notes from books he canonically has mentioned he enjoys and i decided to read (i really do need a refresh on le morte d'arthur), stuff like that. character knowledge for the sake of having knowledge that character would have, just because i don't pick up characters easily, and when one decides to hang around, we're in it to win it.

so i guess that means i need to start a second one, because while i have a friend i can bug for mortuary stuff (he's a mortician) i'd also like to collect other fun tidbits like a magpie. and unlike with tony, who would scribble on a napkin and therefore would not give a tin shit about paper quality, it gives me an excuse to maybe use one of my everyday books from galen leather with the cosmo air light paper.

On the subject of gotham county line and batman noel and so on and so forth it’s pretty frustrating (from a watsonian pov) that anytime Bruce hallucinates Jason being loving/ caring/helpful/compassionate towards him it’s always as robin and never as his current self

I was a teenager during the initial creepypasta hype of the late-2000s to early-2010s. It's hard to describe what the fandom culture was like then, aside from cold and clique-y. Your OC got popular if you were a "good artist", and if you weren't, you got bullied. Even then, the fandom went through cycles of hating every popular OC before moving on to the next. If you weren't a stellar, top-tier writer, your character was "a Mary Sue". I don't know if people thought they were protecting some kind of artistic integrity, but it was a very cruel fandom.

I say this now because I'm starting to see creepypasta OCs being posted, and I want to take all of you by hands. Listen to a fandom veteran, hear my words:

Never stop creating those OCs. Make them as out there and colorful as you want. Let them interact with as many other characters as you want. Don't listen to gatekeepers. There are no canon creepypasta characters. Just characters who got more popular than others. Jeff is someone's OC, same with Toby, Jane, Nina, and all the others. Most of the old stories are abysmally written and would be considered "Mary Sues". Hell, even Hoody and Masky aren't their canon selves because in their actual canon they aren't proxies. It's all a form of creative expression, a way to have fun in an open-form horror setting.

My final piece of advice:

If you join a creepypasta server and they say "No Mary Sues", leave. Run. Run like you've collected 6 of Slenderman's pages.

stupid puppy desperately trying to get attention from its master by shoving large random objects into its sloppy loose asshole. wiggling its butt in the air to try and show off what it did. crying hysterically when its master barely looks over, because usually they love when their stupid silly dog shows off how incredibly dumb and slutty it can be.
