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”!

#OHHHH YEAG FORGOT TO SAY!!!

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 😭🤚

#it's happened to me before which is why i think this headcanon isn't very far-fetched! it's actually so big-brained even lmaooo 😭😭😭#like. i happened to befriend a stupidly genius in high school and she's why i got into a reputable uni in the first place. she dragged me t #study even when i was never in the mood and look at what it did to my high school grades! look at the strict habits that got me through uni #it's also kinda like when you're isolating yourself after a bad breakup and your friend has to physically drag you out to eat. maybe to get #piss drunk as well. all because they know that it's better to have company than to rot alone in your room with your thoughts... you get me?#that's geeta and larry in my eyes. larry's whole line about sticking to flat well-trodden path isn't about making him a famous trainer to #inspire paldea (geeta's whole goal). it's just to show larry that there are other good things too if he takes a peek outside!#and at the end of the day geeta meant well with that advice. that all she wants is for larry to see more of the world than what he's used t #which... idk. i think it's just more heartwarming to think of that advice coming from a friend! even if said friend is also your strict bos #also makes larry's quiet fuming even funnier LMAOOOO 😭😭😭 sometimes you have to suck it up and endure your besties' whims #but this is not a silly and whimsical whim. this is straight-up corporate whim. larry's not surprised he ended up patrolling area zero 🤣#if you've read this far and wanna see jp fanart of them on pixiv i can refer them to you privately! all of them are lovely and heartwarming #champion geeta #gym leader larry #elite four larry #pokemon #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon scarvio #scarvio #paldea

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.

#( ooc )#( tbd )#// honestly i'ma be real #// i think those of us that do stuff like this #// even for rp #// (i'm an academic at heart and these are habits i can't break)#// we should talk about methodology more often #// if we do research for stuff how why how do we keep up with it #// stupid things i'll do for the vine #// like picking a specific fountain pen and sticking with it #// (maybe the 1930s sheaffer balance jr or one of the bazillion esterbrooks i've restored)#// (you know to be that much extra about it i guess)#// maybe a specific ink #// (i have a bottle of late 1940s permanent blue black just sitting there)#// (yes i am that guy leave me alone)#// anyway it makes it more fun #// than doing a google search for me #// and now i can just flip back and find that tidbit when i need it again

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

#it's ironic because Jason as robin never got the chance to become as obedient & devoted (malleable) to Bruce as he currently is #which is a result of being abused/manipulated for a more prolonged period of time #“maybe if I try harder and do it right this time he'll finally see the truth”#classic abuse tactic #no matter how well the victim fits the mold set by the abuser they’ll never acknowledge it #rather if they see you trying they’ll push harder and tell you you’re not perfect #the small shreds of affection here and there are important for motivating the victim to keep trying #kelseethe #Jason initiating the hug in rhato 27 after Bruce insinuated that those beatings will be a regular occurence bc he deems it a necessity #continuing to support Bruce even after Ethiopia and sticking around to help get Damian back #eagerly cooperating with Bruce + co in event leviathan then getting surprise pikachu faced/hurt after being betrayed #making a conscious decision to comfort Bruce in gotham war after Bruce fucked him up and left him behind #having undying conern for Bruce's wellbeing while Bruce regularly endangers his life #ex. Bruce's weird habit of committing vehicular assault on Jason whenever they're on the road demonstrated both in tfz and gotham war #point being: Jason was much more psychologically fit to be defiant towards Bruce when he was robin compared to now #he's more of a “good son”™ now than he was as robin Bruce is just too used to thinking whatever he wants and never being satisfied #the only times Jason got mad/upset at Bruce during one issue and continued to stay mad until the next #other than lost days and utrh was batman 410-411 and early in aditf before Bruce helps Jason find Sheila #so much worse has happened since then and all that just magically became water under the bridge off-panel

I need to be weirder about the scavengers and cannibalism...

#its been a long day... but im feeling better now. (thanks for the well wishes and such btw <3-)#(-sending my well wishes in return by tenfold bcs. damn. it seems stuff is really going around rn)#but yeah... just. augh. theres just smth about how the scavs sorta translate into more like. thriller-esque genres pretty well?#like. i feel somehow those themes compliment their characteristics? or could compliment their characteristics in a more rounded out way #sure. theyre generally a light hearted romp of absurdity with occasional themes of a not good not bad handling of 'mental health matters'#but they just really shine a bit in horrific circumstances. esp with the sort of absurdity they bring to the table #theyre odd people. even in the context of their generally weird and alien universe. and that right there feels like a trove of potential #its like. ok. the lost light crew? also odd. but thats a huge ship. full of people and variety and a sense of purpose and normalcy post-war #(normalcy being. whatever all those background folks were getting up too while plot happened around them. cruise ship stuff ig)#but in contrast. with the w.a.p crew. its an ark class ship with like. a handful of people. and a whole lot of junk and free time #both just cruising through space endlessly for years. one with hundreds of people. and one with like 6 people.#so both are technically isolated when theyre not making pit-stops planet or station side. but again. 100s vs 6 dudes.#think. top of the line cruise ship from hell with a small town sized populace vs a big shitty boat and 6 starving guys #both have the capacity to become case studies in madness. both could do really well thriller wise. but the scavs being a smaller group?#it only being the 6 of them emphasis the isolation perhaps. less variety. less change. same 6 people for 5(?) years #things could get weird fast. codependent mentalities. us vs them mindsets. an otherness about everyone else outside of their group #and then! then you add to the mix the fact that theyre eating/drinking from corpses?! *chefs kiss* awesome. love it.#non-stationary isolation + cannibalism. ough. perfect mix. a classic of maritime horror but in space! :D!#a big ship. small crew. living while knowing that as soon as you kick the bucket. your body is the meal. your body is the fuel.#no decorum about it. no faith. no belief. just perverse survival. bcs they might enjoy it. a bloody gluttony. with a bite. a sample. a taste #it takes seeing your buddy as a walking talking burger to another level. bcs every corpse you come across is also a burger. and a gas can #also fulcrum making candy out of corpses is so. particularly perfect when it comes to the horrifically absurd. just. smth about it. idk #but also also. the line. where was the line drawn for each of them? and when did they each cross it?#most of them dont seem like the type to jump head first into that. so how did they justify it to themselves? had they done it before?#and then. when did it become normal? a habit? smth enjoyable?#i might be running out of tags. but yeah. them being weirder. esp about each other and others.#nothing brings a group of people together like the overhanging knowledge that you sort of kinda wanna eat each other #(rlly wishing i could stomach realistic thrillers rn. but i just cant. gotta stick to written or artistic styles or risk panic attacks :/)#(ive tried a couple movies and shows now. and cant get through most of them. praise be synopses and peoples long rambles about them tho :D)#(nothing like reading someones passionate ramble about the meaning/symbolism of some gory nightmare without having to actually see it lol)

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.

#Creepypasta is supposed to be fun #So have fun with it!!#Never let some (as HABIT would say) stick in the mud tell you to make yourself smaller for their own personal taste #creepypasta #creepypasta oc
