#my brain is very tired today

It was dark and cold at first. Something about the environment around him felt off. “Vash..?” he called out in the darkness, the panic settling in his chest. He was alone, and it scared him. “Vash!? Rem?!” he called out, looking around in this dark voice. The young Independent whipped and turned, but there was nothing in any direction.

The panic only grew, bubbling inside of him. Normally, Nai was fairly level-headed, but right now it was far too overwhelming. There was this strange feeling, almost like drowning. He gripped at his head, struggling to shake off this uncomfortable feeling he had.

“VASH!” The young Independent shot up suddenly, his breathing ragged as his surroundings hit him. He didn’t recognize the room he was in. It wasn’t familiar to him. Was this on the ship? Where were Vash and Rem? His breathing slowed a little as he saw the large tank filled with a multitude of Plants all together. “...” And then he looked around. All over the floor of this room were thick, black roots. They spanned the room and traveled well outside of it. In the center of the room was some sort of console. It looked almost like the ones he’d see Rem use on the ship.

Nai didn’t feel good. His head ached and he felt tired, but he couldn’t sleep. Not yet. He had to find Vash and Rem. He hadn’t even noticed the other in the room, far too focus on himself. That was until he went to stand up. The tall figure was off-putting. It was someone he didn’t immediately recognize. Had someone woken from one of the Pods?

“W-Who are you?!” he asked, glaring at the tall figure wearily.

He would not recognize Vash at first, but Vash most certainly would recognize this form. His brother sat before him, appearing as his younger self. Unlike the dreams that Vash had been tormented with though, this one was real.

Happy hobbit day!! Today I have been pretty tired. I slept very well, but my I guess having to commute is draning a lot of energy from me. I did struggle a bit to stay focused in class, but we touched interesting subjects, and I can confirm I like the way this professor carries the lectures. He did finish a bit later than usual which for me meant missing my bus and having to wait an additional 50 minutes. I phoned my mom to have a chat and pass the time and walked around, and I ended up buying this amazing ghost mug. It's smaller than what I would normally go for, but it's a great addition to my small collection. When I got home I also went to my herbalitst's shop to get a couple of teas i had run out of (and there of course I saw a bunch of other beautiful mugs and I want them all).

Cozy hobbit activities and productivity:

Read first thing in the morning

Packed some lunch before leaving the house

Listened to podcasts during my commute

Had a walk to go to uni and back

3 hour English lit lecture

Got my new beloved mug (i was also looking for a ghost themed tote bag but unfortunately I couldn't find it)

Daily duolingo Irish practice

Highlighted today and yesterday's notes

Crocheting my mushroom cardigan (I am considering packing a ball of yarn in my school bag to crochet a bit on the bus but I haven't tested yet)

Drinking a tea (as I write this) in my new mug under a blanket because my room is freezing

So, hm... we all agree that female Soundwave sounds like Hatsune Miku, right?

Right?

“drop the hair and skincare routine” the world says in unison. it’s 3in1 shampoo and just a bar of soap. his lashes? all natural and that should be listed in his criminal history

Hey y'all! All crafting updates are postponed a day, I had both another technically-not-low-blood-sugar thing* and another asthma attack today, so I am very tired. I'm okay, just not up for crafting *not technically hypoglycemic but smack dab in the middle of fasting blood sugar when I am not fasting? idk what to call that

if i manage to update the halloween fic before i have to get on the airplane tomorrow everyone has to clap and cheer and leave comments on it and be SO niceys to me about it okay 🥺👉👈

hey fuck that anon, at no point did you encourage people to do anything other than block the blogs mentioned in your post. Their issue should be with the freaks sending people death threats, instead they’re taking their frustration out on you for doing something objectively correct. People SHOULD be called out for stealing others content.

Anyone coming to your blog saying they didn’t know stealing gifs wasn’t okay really need to take a long hard look at themselves. gif makers on tumblr spend their time, effort and creativity making content for fandom, they don’t just appear out of no where for your convenience.

anyway, sorry you’re having to deal with this insanity in your ask box!! i’m blown away by some of the responses to this honestly.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you

Worldbuilding Wednesday! What are the stages that take you through visualizing the world of your story?

so, since most of what i write takes place in Lake Wonder these days, or in a version of earth that's very much like our own, i usually end up asking myself one of two things to start:

if it's in lake wonder, does the thing i want to include make sense in the canon of the universe? (i.e., does it conflict with our known cosmology? is there a way this can work within the set and established rules of how the world works?)

if it's not in lake wonder, how does the thing i want to include make sense within the context of the story i want to tell? how does this contribute to the plot while keeping the story grounded?

in the case of 1, things are pretty easy for me. i collect things nigh religiously (the same way i collect facts about bones and facts about my local cemetery, honestly) and that means i can (1) figure out whether i can slot that in neatly (as is the case with establishing the realmar hemiplane and resurrecting bloodsaw-- a massive undertaking that has worked really well so far) or (2) figure out whether or not i have to slightly-retcon it into existence (such as with ghost rules, which get tweaked every so often-- tammy formerly having been a ghost allows her to see ghosts now, when that wasn't necessarily on the table before, but there wasn't really a rule against it? it just makes things more complicated and could potentially go against previous canon).

in the case of 2, it's way simpler in theory, but im intimidated by too many unknowns (because, uh... there's something wrong with me. it's the same thing making me way too aware of my toe seam. in fact, i have to take off my sock. it's that or my face. one second). it's easier to write out notes about what i want to exist in the world in broad strokes, figure out more details as i write, and then cement them in subsequent drafts. i remember that being true about Impish and the way the demons worked; and that was for sure true about APU9, which i never actually finished (the building they all lived in was an addition to like... draft 3, i think?).

fun stuff. unfortunately, i have brain worms, so lake wonder shit is easier for me.
