So I have been having focus and motivation issues @ christian moots i request prayers that that stops- been doing better with it and I have an ADHD/Dyscalculia evaluation coming up at the end of this month. I want my brain to function without screaming for the tasty hit of Internet Dopamine so I request a simple prayer of 'please help merkerler get her brain in order and keep it that way' thanks

if the agrestes weren't rich i think that gabriel would be the normal one. like gabe's problem is that he stopped running into natural limits due to absurd wealth and his obsessive nature led him to develop some kind of god complex where he won't accept that anything is out of his control. I think that if gabe was broke again and just simply couldn't afford to go on an international goose chase for ancient magic artifacts of untold power, if he had to work a 9-5 to live and couldn't just disappear into his basement lair to commit domestic terrorism and say evil monologues to himself, then he would be way more normal. he'd just be some guy. he might even let himself have a mowhawk again. but I think that emilie would be way LESS normal if they weren't rich. like emilie needs so many people to be obsessed with her so much all the time in order for her to function. and gabe would still have his toxic codependent obsession with her, sure, but that wouldn't be nearly enough. emilie has to be at the center of the world's spotlight at all times because she doesn't know how to exist if she's not performing. anyway all this to say I am so certain that if the agrestes were not disgustingly wealthy, emilie agreste would one million percent be running a massive family vlogger youtube channel

I find it fascinating how every single one of my health issues can be mistaken for laziness

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

Tim I noticed a lot of indigenous patches on your jacket, are you Native?

Idk what my dad was 'cause I never knew him, but yeah my mom is (or... Was.. I guess..) Muscogee, the tribe native to the part of Alabama I'm in.

If I remember correctly she came to Alabama from Oklahoma (where a lot of Natives were displaced to in the 1800s) to "get back to her roots."

But yknow, I was separated from her in childhood (which tbh is upsettingly common for Native families) and I was raised in a very white very Catholic asylum so I'm not as connected to the culture as I'd like to be.

Please pray for the repose of the souls of all those who have passed today in car accidents. I passed by a motorcycle accident today (of which emergency personnel were already there) of a man who had been thrown from his vehicle and they were no longer performing medical intervention.

Thinking about them…

so with echoes of wisdom .. i havent watched any of the trailers beyond the very first one and the thumbnails/screenshots and what others have said about it-

but with the world inside the rift being called "Welt des Nichts" aka "world of nothing/void" in german ('still' in english, for some reason) and demises title in french being "avatar of nothing" ... yeah my anxiety is shooting through the roof again

(hopefully you can be a little more forgiving for me being anxious/weird about it bc demise is my blorbo)

i had similar worries with totk, that werent proven true thankfully, but the darn book is making it all worse again with all those weird lore things the game doesnt even so much as hint at AND potential retcons- im in for a really rough time huh, not just stress in real life (more in tags.. its alot) but now about my specific hyperfixation from two things even (AND artblock still..)

weird as it may sound, i dont want demise to get more lore, partly bc i dont believe theyd do anything with him that i would like (given their track record) but much more importantly- the fact that he has this little lore about him is precisely one of the reasons why i fell in love with him, i tend to like characters that are neglected by the narrative, and his story being both so flat and already done meant i can be very creative with what i come up with for him without necessarily contradicting anything in canon (which is ... or was a big point of how i wrote destiny's story and lore, working with canon in a way that reframes it all without straight up ignoring it ... but i suppose i urgently need to let go of that and accept i spend alot of time working things that will go to waste :( ) AND not having to worry that there will be more stuff with him that would massively change not only what im writing but also potentially how i feel about him since the game he was briefly in was the oldest chronologically and ended with his death- i didnt expect them to mess with anything that far back and thought theyd just go forward and leave the timeline behind and wouldnt mess with it again, given how botw seemed to be a sort of 'fresh start' that seemingly regarded the past as the past that needs to rest and that the timeline was finally no longer a discussion if everythings unified through botw and one thing going forward

but i suppose i was very wrong with that .__.

right now the only thing that motivates me still is the left over determination and spite to work on my zelda comic, since i have never gotten this far and really want to get something done for once, but i cant lie that im feeling like i should pause all work on it too to wait and see waht the book and the new game will do .. either to determine if i still have the will to keep working on it after those things are out (my love for tloz has been taking alot of hits lately ..) or if i have to change stuff (mostly bc of my lore problem trying to not ignore it ..)

I wanted to thank everyone for the supportive messages and asks being sent my way! (I may not have responded to all of them, but seeing y'alls kind messages and pictures of pets has been so heartwarming!) After the events of the past few days, I've felt a month-long weight FINALLY come off my shoulders.

I know from my friends, despite me telling the other party involved to stop using my personal story, that they've continued to use it and even make light of the situation. Though that technically makes this situation ongoing, I feel it best to acknowledge that the other party has chosen to ignore my consent and feelings on this matter. Meaning they have chosen to continue telling the comic despite the lack of permission, and the knowledge of how it affects me. Which is why this situation is over, at least to me.

Despite their disappointing response, I am just glad that y'all support the reasonings for me not being okay with such actions, and why I had to explain the situation the other day. The support and validation to what I've been feeling has been tremendous, and I'm very glad to have fostered a community that understands the importance of communication and permission.

I do request to please not send asks or messages on my behalf to the other party involved. If my own direct asking for them to stop is not enough, then that is that. I do not want or need others to send messages for me, so please do not. I have had their accounts blocked since my previous post on this, so I can move on despite their continued actions.

Last thing, for any followers/mutuals of mine who choose to continue reading and engaging in their comic/work, that is totally fine by me! What I've expressed being upset about starts and ends with the other party's usage of my characters and story, so please do not feel the need to choose sides or anything in this situation. The comic goes WAY beyond me, so I totally get enjoying it! I know this situation has changed the comfort of others and how they feel about their involvement in the comic, but please do not feel the need to change your engagement in it for me.

Thank you!

Hi friends happy stupid holidays my student loan payment suddenly went up $500 without notice so now I’m in the negatives and $350 short on the rest of my bills for this month. I know we’re all hurting, but if anyone can help out, it would be hugely appreciated. I’m gonna try to get it sorted so another $700+ payment doesn’t come out at the end of the month too (I pay 2x a month), but it won’t change the amount I’m already out…

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT’S HOW BNHA ENDED!?

THAT FEELS LIKE SUCH A SLAP IN THE FACE TOWARDS IZUKU! THAT PRECIOUS GREEN BOI DID NOT GO THROUGH HELL AND BACK JUST TO BE CRUELLY DISCARDED LIKE THAT 😭

There were just so many damn things that felt unnecessarily mean spirited towards him—even Aizawa couldn't give him a damn break 💔
