Thinking a lot about murky water. Watching your spoon disappear from view as it touches the porcelain bottom of your cup of tea, glass surface swallowing it up. Dropping small stones into a lake and following their sideways descent as they shudder against the pressure of the water, turning green and then blue and then fading away. Fish rising to the surface of the ocean from a bottomless black well, shifting from formless shapes to crisp, scaly, unseeing eyes. thinking a lot about how things disappear

Love is so freaky and messed up to the point that sometimes i do wish and hope SO badly that no one ever has to suffer being in love with me specifically because it honestly sounds absolutely unbearable
#my brain sure is braining lately#ignore me ive been having a Few Days for sure#and there aren’t enough words or enough time in the world to express the full context of this thought#like#the love story doesn’t happen in the epilogue#and the epilogue can’t fix an ending that failed to satisfy the reader#and an authentic and satisfactory sequel is impossible when the ending killed off too much of the plot#does any of this make sense#do i even know what i mean#just ignore me im overthinking#and of the like five different crazed rants i drafted tonight this one is like the shortest#and least weird i think#and i wanted to shout my nonsense into the void to shut my brain up for a minute#apologies for that#pls continue as you were and i hope your brain is quiet and your day is good <3#wait also im all good im just thinking no need to worry!#this is just my nonsense that wanted to be set free from rattling in my brain just let her be and she’ll go away on her own eventually😪

me after editing the aau prologue for the bajillionth time
#First chapter I changed the opening bc I always thought it felt off/abrupt and wanted to have it be prince pov from the start#I wanna get in his head more ok sue me#Beyond that tho it was just some wording edits#Specifically with the internal dialogue moments I helped them flow more/feel more like thoughts#Also mj gets a bit more of their usual edge/pessimism bc the prologue they always felt a bit too “ówò sad poor smol bean” or whatever#That’s it tho chapter 4 I didn’t change bc it’s peak#Did add some teases to later things tho like snatch senses mjs soul at the end of his chap but doesn’t realize it#Or like I added the Not Now running thing in the earlier chapters bc it was more of a chapter 4 thing so I wanted 2 set it up more so boom#I think that’s all the notable edits ig like I said just description additions the only actual new thing is the opener for chap 1 👍#Also also I got to include a hc that I have that I neglected to do before but I hc a!prince used plural internal dialogue#Because lol we love dramatic irony in this house#Grace post#this reminds me tho one of these days I should look through heart strings chapter one to look for editing things#Bc I think I did that recently but I don’t remember it much tho#Mostly just when the Hat stuff starts that was the parts I never directly rewrote I just edited them so they feel out of place in my brain#Also I’d wanna edit her dialogue bc it *was* in character (after rereading her diary’s to confirm) but I wanna have her be a bit more snark#Hat is Hard bc i Need the balance of cute little kid and also smug little shit (affectionate) like she is a pain to write man cries#This is just me rambling lol ignore it I just wanted to spam aau thoughts#In other news I made shapes redesigns but I’m on the fence on posting them bc idk if I wanna spoil or not hhhhhhhhh#Nowadays I’m more chill w spoiling things than I used to be#But there are a handful of things I’ve kept shut about (ex being princes name or mjs species stuff etc)#So I’m not sure if this thing with shapes i should keep secret or just post bc I used to spoil it but idk now#Shrugs#maybe I’ll do a poll later I dunno#Ok yapping over byeeeeee

i truly didn’t want magpie to be someone who cares about crow politics but unfortunately she and viago have forced my hand. i don’t think she pays much mind to politics when making decisions bc she is simply too impulsive but i do think she is painfully aware of at the very least how people feel about viago specifically. which means this will happen tenfold with her new pet first talon. and will likely make her insane. bc if viago’s ascension to fifth talon and his subsequent place in that position was precarious at one point lucanis’s is…. like ten times worse. there are twoooo members of house dellamorte alive and the first talon is a literal abomination like… the target on his back is massive unless a very solid alliance can be formed with both house de riva and house cantori and even then nothing is guaranteed. and then there’s neve! a non-crow that both the first talon and the fifth talon’s protege are in love with? she’s literally the perfect target for someone trying to get to lucanis. which like okay she can definitely hold her own if she’s targeted for whatever reason but she still Could be targeted. idk where i’m going with this except that i think lucanis being first talon is truly so so so wild and is going to make everyone’s lives harder. which is awesome
#magpie was the Only person backing viago’s bid for talon and most of that was when she was still a fledgling. like.#her Whole career as a crow has been getting him to talon and then keeping him there#which like. doesn’t make her any less of a wild card it just makes her kind of insane abt specific things#crow politics in general don’t matter to her but she’s painfully aware of the dangers of being talon specifically and i think will be unable#to shut off the part of her brain hardwired to keep an eye out for danger esp when the guy she’s protecting is no longer her brother#but Lucanis.#will it ever stop her? no. probably not. she’s still reckless. but she will definitely be thinking about it.#漫言#oc. magpie#datv spoilers#also i’m just saying words for fun. i may change my mind about any and all of this being canon to how magpie feels. we’ll see!

I can’t tell you why I suddenly lose motivation/interest in games when a character I’ve been waiting for finally gets released, because I don’t know either, but it happens more often than I would like to admit
#typically doesn’t happen for like my MAIN main interest games#like Furina was for sure my most anticipated character in that game and probably will have been for the rest of it’s lifespan#but I continued playing that game just fine after her release#but for some reason it’s been happening a lot in recent history#like my ZZZero time was bound to end sooner rather than later#because it’s not really a game I can relax in very easily#but I gave up literally right before Jane Doe came out and I really liked her#and now Camellya is out in Wuwa and I am really struggling to work up the motivation to log in and summon for her#I was even saving specifically for her but still. brain just shuts off#not sure if they’re depressive episodes or if I’m addicted to anticipation#honestly it could be both…#either way it’s not exactly ideal. always building up and never paying off#I should really get on Wuwa…I think it might make me feel better if I force myself to follow through#obviously not to the point of spending money if I don’t get her.#that’d be a very bad financial decision. but I do wanna follow through with trying

Honestly novella!Beast needed FQSD. The one mother figure who wouldn’t fuck him up
#OOC / HOLLY.#MOBILE.#I say that but reciprocity is important and every gift has a caveat dkfbdkd#but I mean what She would ask of him in the future is like#stop the persecution of my faithful; make me an offering; etc#you know standard stuff#not necessarily asking him to proselytize but She doesn’t need to#having a king openly venerate a deity and do them honor makes a difference#my brain’s shutting off for the night but [gestures] he’d still be better off with Her

Me engaging author mode: Alright this fics needs more actual lines between the characters, this can’t be hard, right? you have conversations in English all the time this is gonna be super easy
Brain: *absolutely forgets how ppl have normal conversations, specially siblings teasing each other *
#literally everything I write it seems fake and idk just….. off?#me to my own brain: my brother in Christ pls get a hold of yourself#I need to finish this#tmnt#writing#this is NOT the time for you to shut down#fanfic authors#suffering#there’s a reason why my user name is writing and crying cuz my brain simply doesn’t WORK

question for the culture — why don’t we ever really discuss the massive amounts of sexual assault, domestic abuse and misogyny entrenched within professional wrestling?
#was in my bret hart era but i read julie hart’s book (which NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT) and i am sick to my stomach fam#also hearing about stone cold#macho man#and the list goes on and on and on and on#i know this has probably already been discussed and i guess i hate to ruin people’s fun but its haunting really#i dont know how much fun i can expend to this knowing the insidious things a large sum of wrestlers have done to their partners and others#i guess you have to center cognitive dissonance but i don’t think you should have to#idk its kinda tearing me up bc of the childhood nostalgia aspect but that doesn’t really matter#the bret hart shit really got me fucked up tho bc wow i naively thought he was one of the good ones at least#i have got to start enjoying things like normal people — brain shut off!!#professional wrestling#jan chats

DO think that yves is heavily scarred esp after kressa’s….experiments. her past scars (usually from self inflicted flogging) would be fading but still rather apparent, but the ones she received from kressa are newer and they look more grisly bc i don’t imagine kressa rlly cared about patching her up properly. since she’s a cleric I do think she’ll try to heal them or at least correct the stitchings so they don’t look as crass, but then she’d find herself weirdly fascinated by how haphazard the scars and stitches look and the more intrusive part of her would want to open up the stitches one by one - just like a little present - and open it to see her inside
#yves’ abdomen being is just filled with stitches and scars while her back is also filled with scars#but the way they’re sitting it’s very much obvious that it’s self inflicted#anyway I was imagining when she finally sees her face and body again post lobotomy#bc I think she would’ve forgotten - that she’d be surprised and also scared at the amount of scars she has#like she doesn’t know where she got them or where it came from and does she even want to know ..???#and there’s also the matter of the red tattoos on her face that looks like tears#tbh they look like the Bhaal blood droplets but her brain is mush and she wouldn’t register that ok looool#she’s just gonna be like ?? who drew in my face attempts to wash it off and discovers they’re tattoos 😟#I also think her hair would be so choppy and uneven and her blonde roots are growing out#like every time I play her I take off all her clothes and leave her in the prisoners rags#she’s running around the beach on barefoot covered in blood looking like a mess I’m like are y’all sure u want to travel with her 😭😭😭#but then she gets more cleaned up the moment they go to the Druids grove bc she prob manages to find clothes in there#shut up about bg3.#bg3 spoilers

one of my biggest pet peeves has to be when i tell someone i can’t do something (academically) in casual conversation and they take it upon themselves to try to ‘teach me’ even when i’ve explicitly told them not to like !! don’t piss me off ..
#condescending as fuck#if i can live with it you can#it happens to me so much like#i cant do numbers#and people are like oh here#shut UP#!!#my brain doesn’t work baby you’re not gonna do shit to fix the situation in ten minutes sit down and stop being condescending#man i hate people#may as well take my glasses away from me and tell me just to try to see#like#my brain isn’t gonna magically change & i’m fine with that#hero complex or smth#go fix the system and leave me alone#you are not better than me because you can tell the time i’ll fuck your dad and become part of the family just to disown you don’t test me#the way i got pissed off even thinking about all the times people have done this to me lmao#💾

Omg yesterday at my moms therapy I said how well I had been doing and feeling like I can actually handle life and my mom was immediately like “that’s because you’ve been taking your meds regularly again” and like completely brushed off any progress I had actually made and I had to be like yeah totally that’s it that’s why exactly when I haven’t taken my meds for a week straight in idk how long
#I was like yup totally that sure is why I’ve been feeling good totally#not at all that I’ve been spending time to do things I like and journal and process my feelings in healthy ways or that I am consciously#making strides towards regular person sanity#and she fucking brought up adhd meds again like FUCK OFFFFFFF HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY I DONT WANT TO TAKE THEM BEFORE IT CLICKS#I. DONT. WANT. TO. TAKE. THEM. they are a tool in MY mental health toolbox bitch back off my toolbox I know you fucking live adhd meds and#won’t shut up about them but I am happy now and I don’t like my brain on adhd meds and the only reason you want me on them is because you#like me more when I’m doing stereotypically productive tasks so you’d rather have me cleaning the house and not doing the shit I love than#you would have me not taking my meds and making art and writing poetry#like god#she just doesn’t fucking get it#I cannot create when I take adhd meds. that part of my brain just like dissolves.#the way I work is that constantly I have a million projects on the back burner in my mind and when I get inspired I make one#when I take my adhd meds I can’t just pick up a fun project I don’t get those ideas I can’t write poetry I can’t make art it’s like it sever#severs the line between my creative mind and my regular mind and I have nothing in my life that I need to be THAT focused on right now#but I have my perscruption still! like if I ever need it it’s there but that’s not your fucking decision that’s mine and you need to back#off my brain because it is a delicate fucking ecosystem up there in my head and I’m not going to fuck with anything until I have to#god. sorry. went on a bit of a rant. I am just so sick of arguing over my mom wanting to control the way I medicate myself. I am an adult#and she is not inside my brain so she needs to listen when I tell her how things affect me#she takes adhd meds like twice every day and hates the feeling of not being on them but I just don’t like them and she won’t fucking drop it#okay I am getting mad about adhd meds and my mother right before I have to be in the car with her all morning i need to relax#we’re going to psychic we’re gonna have fun#we’re not going to argue about this again.

So me and my friend unpacked that night terror I had the other night & basically I am now on a self-imposed horror ban because I genuinely think if I keep consuming horror with my current mental state I will have a full-blown psychotic break 😔✌🏻
#for the uninitiated: basically i dreamed of an entity that was ‘the personification of fear itself’ and it was standing in the corner of my#room heavy-breathing and looking at me. it followed me through 3 layers of sleep (dream within a dream; regular dream; WAKING -#i hallucinated it during a sleep paralysis incident)#and i was unpacking it with my friend and i was like ‘i think the reason i was able to fall asleep again so fast (within 10 minutes lol)#and the thought of it hasn’t really bothered me when i’ve tried to sleep since is that it felt like more of a warning than a threat#like it kept getting worse each time i saw it but obviously i was fine. like it never tried to harm me. it just stood there’#and she was like ‘so do you believe in symbolism in dreams?’ i said ‘i don’t believe in prophetic dreams and i don’t believe that dreams#always have meaning. what i believe is that when the conscious mind shuts off for sleep; the subconscious starts unpacking stuff completely#at random and starts working through it. i think it’s a complete roulette. i think the best example of that is the time i had a dream that#one of my teachers was selling teddy bear ties just because he wore a tie with teddy bears on it once. i had that dream about a week later.#i was not in any way preoccupied with his tie; i saw it once and that was it but my brain obviously decided to use it’#so she was like ‘so you think that you dreaming about an entity that was the personification of fear itself is completely random?’#i was like ‘oh no not really. that makes perfect sense to me. all the movies i’ve watched and books i’ve read and podcasts i’ve listened to#have been horror’ and she was like ‘and you think that’s healthy for you?’ ‘oh no not really. plenty of it scares me. i even got scared the#other day listening to true crime; which doesn’t usually happen to me but i guess the 4 hour serial killer documentary wore me down’#she’s just like ‘for god’s sake’ lol#so i’m like ‘i mean if i interpret it your way; about dreams having meanings and messages; i guess i’m being warned that i’m dwelling too#much on fear. i’m inviting it into my space deliberately. it’s the main emotion i’m experiencing from the media i consume. and i don’t know#that that’s necessarily… good?’ and she’s like ‘no i don’t think it is. maybe you should read a sci-fi or something or rewatch that reality#show you like?’ and i was like ‘that actually seems like a good idea’#so. no more horror for me for the foreseeable :( i just want to get through the seasonal depression. and get my grief for mabel down to a#manageable level. i mean it’s somewhat manageable now but i still feel sad and guilty all the time and cry randomly#i’m thinking about signing up to be a dog fosterer for the rspca. i mean i work from home; i have an enclosed garden & plenty of time#and i could use the companionship. i just don’t know that i can take on a multi-year commitment right now#personal

Had a dream about mini black holes being on Earth… like just in varying places for some reason that nobody knows in this case. They were just… there. And surrounded by stars and essentially mini galaxies, they moved around but very slowly so they were just doing their own thing
The whole thing was genuinely more disturbing than any murderer chasing me dream I’ve ever had, I cannot describe the feelings it gave me
#shut up alli#oh and like btw people absolutely touched them and died#and like you didn’t SEE them get ripped apart but you know they did#spaghettified realistically. like they touched it and they were gone immediately#at some point I saw one of them spit out a mangled human arm#which doesn’t make sense i know bc that arm would just be reduced to nothing but ig it was just for the drama#AND IT WAS JUST AN UPSETTING DREAM LIKE BRAIN WHY DID YOU SHOW ME THAT????#i had to get it off my chest cuz like it’s bothering me JDKDKK anyway im researching black holes now#maybe i’ll do some character stuff with this concept#anyway uh the moral of the story is fuck my brain and space is scary lmao
