Year in review (the story so far)

Jan:

Observed a bike-fitting session

Failed my IPPT

Signed up for a gym membership

Faced heavy interpersonal issues

Feb:

Facilitated teachings in uni

Experienced the heaviest doubt and disappointment

Tried to process and regulate my thoughts and feelings

Tried to facilitate shared activities by loaning equipment from Anthony, never really got to execute

Started my own bike-fitting process

Hung out with colleagues, was nice

Attended 3 weddings over 3 weekends

Had sum good beef

Completed the bike fit process and got a new bike!

Dry needling course (which sucked but is omega useful)

Major argument with partner leading to a breakup

Aug:

The hardest month of my life so far, instant regrets and grief flow

Tried to therapize with visits to the bike workshop and cycling (sorta kinda helpful)

Life starts to suck (can't stop the feeling)

Hate myself a little for being root cause of pain, but can't bear to not do things whole-heartedly

Work sucks

Sept:

Life keeps getting suckier

Attend a few more weddings

Notice depressive episodes

Work sucks more

Fuck up emcee script

Feel happy and mood skyrockets

Tries to work out issues, doesn't seem to get very far, but i commit nonetheless

First destination wedding in Thailand

Work still continues to suck further

Dec:

Try to rationalize and express myself when continuing discussions with ex, semi-fruitful conclusions, decide to respect decisions

Start therapy

Work sucks the most

Start feeling like i shouldn't be in this profession or alive at all

Go through christmas and new years with the shittiest of moods, craving the feelings of yesteryear

Decide to still be respectful because whotf am i to hamper the healing of another

Go to sleep with heavy heart

Jan:

Somehow wake up with an even heavier heart

Work sucks the most

Try to do a karaoke because of insistence

Did not enjoy karaoke very much, but company was good

Decide to give in to nostalgia

Feelsbadman

Sinking feeling a little

Try to do a process and a cope, fight unaliving thoughts

(To be continued)

Reflections so far:

How do i better manage my frustrations and negative feelings? Is it ok to explode or get mad once in a while? It shouldn't be ok because if i say things in a fit of rage, there may be irreparable damage (as per lessons attended). Do i try to express my needs and concerns? Yes, but that didn't work out so well did it? Maybe if i insisted. Maybe if i wasn't so considerate of that many details (because i'm only human and i cannot be aware of every single thing) and feelings of others.

Do i get a little more selfish? Am i allowed to get upset and retaliate? Hell why am i even asking for permission to get pissed off? OF COURSE I'M ALLOWED TO BE UPSET.

To find out that being vulnerable and open about my emotions and stressors was a semi-push factor.

To be told that the intention of certain topics of conversation was not what i interpreted was disappointing.

To be told that doing things that i thought were benign turned out to be the stuff of nightmares instead, was disappointing.

I'm upset. In so many ways because i feel guilty of not considering more aspects of events which unfolded. And yet i tell myself that everything is justified. Maybe because somehow if i tell myself everything is justified, it makes it more understandable and acceptable on the ends of all stakeholders.

Everything has a reason, i just want to be able to understand as much as i can.

Do i see hope in reconciliation? Maybe, maybe not.

I don't even know what i can change within myself for things to be better.

I don't even know

I don't know anymore.

Day ???/100 but 4/100 post of productivity

I had the creaziest week ever, working in the staff of an international philosophy congress in my university. I was able to go to my most important classes but skipped a couple in order to rest a bit since i had been working so much. In the last days of the event, work became easier so I had time to watch some of the lectures of the conference myself. There were lectures on philosophy of physics, on various types of epistemology, on language and linguistics, on logics... So much stuff! I was also a mediator for three lectures in a row. This will be so good for my cv and I'll get credit hours of complementary activities, yay! But above all, it was an exciting week of meeting new people from all around the world and having very interesting discussions with them. I had never seen so many philosophers in the same room, and never had imagined I would go to parties with a bunch of thinkers lmaooo it was so funny to see them drink and dance and, obviously, discuss philosophy till 2am.

We also had elections in Brazil and Lula won!!!! Time for people to snap back to reality, tho, and remind themselves the fight is not over; we might have taken evil down, but he is not defeated.

The next day of the elections I went to sociology class but I knew we weren't going to study lol we just discussed politics but it was really nice to share this joy with my classmates and professor.

And today (tuesday) I didn't make to uni bc of the rain! My city is the worst when it rains, I was all wet and was waiting for the bus that didn't seem to arrive. So I went back home and followed one of my classes on zoom. I did read the texts I needed for this week and also finished translating the philosophy writings that I needed to!

And lastly, I got my midterm grades and they were great!!!!

Perhaps I should count all of that as 5 days of productivity? To sum up the week. That would be Day 8/100 of the challenge, then.

See yall again in the next post!

Xx, Liz

though the mist might prevent some from seeing it, MIA STOEGER is actually a descendent of DIONYSUS. it’s still a question of whether or not the TWENTY-ONE year old MYTHOLOGICAL STUDIES MAJOR from LOS ANGELES, USA has taken after HER godly parent completely, but the demigod is still known to be quite CHARISMATIC & DUPLICITOUS.

( y’all dont deserve this real messy intro but im workin w half a bwain cell at 4am so i beg thee 4 mercy. nywyy im the excited new girl who’s hella pumped to meet all ur charas : katya ! feel free to hop in my ims to plot or drop a like and i’ll hop in urs ! x )

POWERS

natural acting abilities — her ma’s a hollywoo agent so she started actin real early & now shes a big shot actress. there r more deetz on her career below !

chlorokinesis — it wasnt as natural as acting n she only started working on it when she turned 13 n started going to camps. b4 she just noticed shes good w plants but it wasnt super crazy or nything. its p good now tho ! shes prioritizing vine binding and manipulation 4 the self defense bc awards r cool n all but they dont rlly protecc from monsters ykwim

levitation — shes trying her best ur honor

alcokinesis — she cant conjure it or anything, she’s just immune to it ffff

BIO POINTS — cw: drug use ( full biography here )

her mom raised her by herself bc dionysus the party god was out of the picture immediately. she never told mia she’s a demigod & it was always just “ wow ur so talented ” or “ aww u got a green thumb ! ” but when she saw him claim 13 y/o mia by placing a weird hologram over her head while she slept, she knew she had to spill da beanz & tell her kid

ofc mia thought her mom was jus playing sum weird acting exercise w her bc her powers r so lowkey she could highkey just be a Mortal but insert sad whistle, the realizashun & the claiming meant heightened monster threat !! so yea ,,, one ended up chasing her a couple days later rip

aside from the trauma, mia was ok. mostly bc she ended up cryin for dionysus like any child would n lo & behold he came & helped !!! as he should. nywy she made sure to go to summer camps every year after that but mostly just for protection purposes

she lowkey rlly hates this whole god business esp now that shes grown lmfao deadass thinks she got a bad deal bc life threats arent sexy !!! went to eonia eventually bc its Too Much Man. she just wants to go back to work and her life w the mortals w/o worryin for her life. would deadass fade her father if she could. may or may not be majoring in greek mythology to figure out the logistics of it all out of spite, who knows !

PERSONALITY

not ! a Drama Queen — dont get me wrong, shes hella Extra in the way she moves n acts sorta like shes always bein captured on film. is quick-witted & playful & can be a huge tease/flirt if she feels like it, but miss her w Real Feelings ! totally not sentimental. srsly she will try to rationalize away everything and is just,.,., not good w it. so soz folks, we just keepin it breezy here

ugh, she’s an Actress — aka she can act like she cares tho ! shes very much into keeping ppl on her good side. shes friendly n palatable to everyone bc its how shes been trained & while it doesnt seem fake, its def diff when its genuine

The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known — lemme circle back to the first one, ok so shes good w emotions but only in theory. does intense character work with her roles so she thinks that counts as her having eq when rlly shes just emotionally stunted, projecting n repressing like an idiot

blonde, skinny, rich, & a lil bit of a Bitch — shes only a bitch inwardly or to ppl she trusts enuff to let in on the gossip. if anyone full on opposes her or becomes real emotional, then this lil diva will rear its superiority complex head n snap a lil. will most probably do it v underhandedly n w a smile but it will be Brutal

girls just wanna have FUN ! — shes the child of da party god, so ofc she a true party girl. officially off the rails when she parties. inhibitions ? we dk her. can be insensitive in that case bc smtms its truly no strings attached, tis all abt the fun. likes company a lot & it doesnt even have 2 be loud or particularly abt her, she just likes having people around n the escapism of it all. will make friends with everyone n make sure they have a jolly fun time guaranteed at dionysus parties

Work Hard, Play Hard — real responsible when it comes to work and commitments and if she trusts/likes u enough, she’ll give it 2 u straight, no bs. def thinks Calling Out is an act of love but maybe does it a lil too harshly smtms. v much into efficiency, sentiments be damned. not the feely words type. will sit next to u or party w u or even pay 4 ur therapist if u need sum1 to talk to. she will Be There while u work thru it, so long as u dont expect her to change n be all emotional n stuff

if she seems a lil contradictory thats bc she kinda is. tis the good ol nurture vs nature. her ma’s a real no nonsense chick n her pops is a frat guy drama geek greek god whos rlly into cottagecore so u get this lil blonde bitch whos sorta teetering on the edges

OTHER INFO — cw: drug use ( full headcanons here )

re her career, she achieved pegot status when she was 18 aka she truly b dat bitch. shes not super mainstream famous tho, more like indie sweetheart, film snobs/critics fave typa gal. if ya want a trajectory she started w baby commercials then a sitcom from 4-10 ( think modern fam’s lily ) then it was off to the big screen & the stage !

mia has a lil bit of a drug habit. its not abusive or dependent, but it is a staple whenever shes parties bc alcohol is useless 2 her. started a lil young too bc hollywoo. primarily uppers/hallucinogens. she smokes weed a lil more liberally but the rest is mostly just an on occasion thing ( which, ngl, is a still a lil problematic when u party a lot rip )

after she got claimed, mia ended up going to demigod camps in a lot of diff places n countries, depending on where production would take her. there was never an established place, more like wherever was nearest when they wrapped up shooting bc monsters afoot n wutnot

she was always homeschooled but she still managed to go to a prom and homecoming bc party is life. that makes eonia uni p much her first chance at having a normal educational environment & experience and even then its anything but. still tho this is her moment !!! im lit rally begging her to get a personality that isnt her internally rolling her eyes going “ its not that deep ”

might put up a bio/stats page if im feelin sxc but i wud jus like the records to show that mia stoeger is a bi sxc babe bc me ? write a het ? no grassy ass.

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS — cw: drug use ( full connections here )

omg danny devito i love ur work !

,,, p self explanatory sdkjfs sum1 who loves her work ! it can be lowkey/highkey fangirl to a civil admiration

OR alternatively, y/m can Not Be a fan of her work. they might think the storyline of the projects she takes on r too out of touch n highbrow yada yada yada, but yes, we love to see either of it !

summer camp sweetheart !

someone she met when at camp when they were teens ? doesnt matter in what country/city, but mia was only visiting so it was truly a one summer romance typa thing. bc she was younger, im thinkin 13-17 or w/e she was probably sweeter n a lot more emotional then. was it either’s first puppy love ? first kiss ? first “ relationship ? ” idk, do yk ? truly, so many possibilities. nothin set in stone just hmu bub

summer camp pals !

p much the same as above but make it Platonic

party buddies !

or druggie pals. either way works but she wud luv it if theyre both xoxo

friends w benefits !

most probably ( but not limited to ) sum1 she met at a party skdjhsjk is it exclusive ? is any1 starting to develop feelings ? im down 4 nthing n evrything

alexa play true friend by hannah montana !

omg i love ur skirt !

that is the ugliest effing skirt i've ever seen. lmao basically sum1 mia pretends to like or acts civil w but rlly ,,,, Cannot Stand for w/e rzn

im p much braindead rn but those are just sum ideas !!! ofc the usual staples like the pals, enemies, wutnots are also v welcome we love to see it. if u also have a wc that u think mia would fit in, id luv to know more ! there are also a couple more detailed ones here, but pls feel free to shoot me a msg n we can get 2 plotting x

The girls who get it, get it, and the girls who don't, don't

So, this is the weekly update in question and this one will be more life updates rather than what I'm watching.

To sum up my life I would say capital S, Stressed. That's how I am right now and don't get me wrong I'm always stressed but now it's actually a big deal. Anyways, I'm making a movie for uni and for some reason (the reason being I'm stupid) I have decided to be a writer/director/producer/editor/manager of like 6 or 7 people that were interested in working in the film with me. Don't know why you would ever be interested rather than the fact that I'm a girl boss that gets it but yeah. So pretty much now I have done nothing because I´m Stressed I've been at work (I work in a pub btw) and I´m either at work or at uni. And now you might ask why don't you take days off. And what I would say to that is that I'm crazy and also if I want days off I need to ask like weeks in advance otherwise my manager will kill me with her scary eyes. Beautiful eyes but scary nonetheless. Also maybe I'll do a work rant at the end. But basically, the film only has a tiny script which I wrote months ago and I now hate and a presentation which is honestly pretty cool ngl. But yeah I'm planning to film on the 24th and I need to send emails to borrow equipment, I need to write a script, work out the props and dresses, and do a storyboard and stop being so Stressed. Again very much capital S, maybe even capital the whole word.

This is the presentation in question.

So on the new Euphoria episode. I feel like I don't have that much to say. We do love a bestie fight. I wish Fez and Lexi would have kissed in this last episode. Also, I'm loving a drug addiction plotline. Like don't get me wrong Rue is definitely not my favourite character and I would like to see way more of the others plotlines like Kat or Nate or his LGBT father. But I guess I'm enjoying Rue's plotline as well. Quick side note, can Nate like chill with the drinking. Like we get it you are an alcoholic but at the same time, this man is drinking and driving, drinking in front of his mom and it just stressing me out. Also, I do understand that alcohol addiction is a real serious topic but it just feels like the show will never actually address it. They are more interested in Is he going to pick Cassie or Maddie, now that his dad is out of the picture. Idk I feel like I don't have a lot to say.

I'm watching Attack on Titan every week as well, but I feel like I will just make a post when it ends, to sum up, my feelings on this last season. One thing I do have to say about this weeks episode is ANNIE. I'm so excited she's back, she is a badbitch a girlboss and she definitely gets it. Also, Jean needs to stop being this fine cause I cannot handle this right now. Again, Stressed.

I haven´t watched any more X files cause I don´t have time, but last week I forgot to mention that I'm also watching Pam and Tommy and I love it. I know it goes against Pamela Anderson's wishes which I understand but at the same time, I do like the show very much even tho I'm confused. But, basically, I started watching cause I really like Lilly James, I think she is so pretty and in this, she's barely recognizable. They like changed her face with prosthetics and she doesn't even look like herself but is still very pretty. What I'm confused about is Tommy lee. First of all, the actor that is playing him is really handsome but then I went to see what Tommy lee actually looks like and this man is capital C Crusty. Which listen it's fine but also isn't he like abusive. wasn't he abusive to Pamela irl. I swear I remember that but in the show, he is just this excentric some might say, quirky nice-looking guy. And I love the breakdown he is going thru. I'm sorry sir no one likes metal in the '90s. Anyways I think the show has good performances. i love that we get introduced to this reporter girlboss, I don't remember her name but again she gets it. The Seth Rogen character is okay I guess. He is crusty 100% but you can also understand his motivations, but then again I feel like he just thought about it for a sec he could have been like yeah Tommy is shitty but does he really deserve this. Oh and in terms of filming it's pretty creative. love the part where he talks to his dick and it responds, never seen that done before, and I do like the music. But part of me is like do I like it or is it just nostalgia bait. To finish up, that dog is so cute. OMG, I can't, I wish I had one like that. but isn't he melting in California under all that hair?

Look at her being the ultimate material girl, we love to see it.

Well, I guess that's it on updates, ill now be ranting about work. Tell me why I have to put up with a crusty crusty coworker while also having to put up with crusty customers. I don't get it. Tell me why everyone in that pub just wants to make me cry. Again, I've already Stressed babe I don't need u to make me cry thank you very much.

But yeah there has been a lot of discussion between me and the work besties about the shit we go thru while other people don't, and the conclusion we all reach is that it's because we are young girls and people think it's okay to take the piss. Anyways when I'm manager ill kill them all. Imagine you go to a pub, u have some stupid complaint to make and you tell the person serving you I want to speak to the manager. and my 5´1 ass walks in ready to fight a bitch. I cannot wait. Also, my professor is going to read this and say yeah it was cute but what's up with the titles, the words 'girlboss' and 'crusty'. Which is understandable.

Fandom Merch for sale!

Hi guys! I’m finally out of college and back home for a few months between jobs, in order to get my life together before grad school. Part of that is cleaning out a whole lot of stuff from past obsessions of mine. If anyone still follows me from several years ago, maybe you remember I was hugely into Superwholock, and so I have a lot of fandom merchandise lying around that I purchased at Boston Comic Con some years back. I need to get rid of it to make space, so I was hoping to sell it off for cheap. I’ve learned my lesson to be stringent in what I buy at these comic conventions, and limit my purchases to things I can actually use.

As you know, merchandise at conventions are overpriced, so I paid a modest sum for some of these things. But I’m more concerned about making sure they go to someone who’d appreciate them in the way I never was able to, so I’m cool with selling them for a few bucks. These items were never taken out of the packaging I bought them in until now, to take photos of them.

I have three prints, all are ~ 10x8 in:

Firefly

Jim Moriarty from BBC Sherlock

The Master from Doctor Who

The first two are loose, and the third is in a thick protective plastic sheath that I bought for it at the time. It can slide easily in and out of it. They are printed on glossy photo paper, the Master one looks like it’s printed on slightly nicer paper. They’re all untouched, no fingerprints etc. I bought these with the intention of framing and hanging them and well, that never happened (along with my several photo ops and autographs...). I paid ~$20 for each plus $5 for the plastic on that last one, but I will sell them for, idk, $10 each? If you want two, it will be $15, and if you want all three, it will be $20. I’ll throw in the plastic protective sleeve for free, it prevents it from getting bent.

I also have this:

This is a deck of Supernatural trading cards I bought at the convention. The cards come in a clear hard plastic box. There are 72 cards, a full base set.

I think they’re from season 3. The deck is divided into a John Winchester set, a Dean set, and a Sam set. The wrapper says there’s a chance of special cards in each pack, etc etc, but this one doesn’t have any, sorry :/ However, this is the only time I’ve seen these cards so idk if they are popular or a collector’s item or anything. Again, never used, taken out once when I got them and once just now for photos, so pristine condition. How they are, in the box, is exactly how I bought them, I did not take them out of the pack. I do not remember how much I paid for these, my inkling is somewhere in the vicinity of $15. I’m happy to part with them for $5, box included.

I have other official Supernatural merchandise from Boston Comic Con - a limited edition bust of Dean from ‘The Magnificent Seven’ episode of which 250 were made, and a limited edition miniature model of the ‘67 Chevy Impala. I paid between $20-$30 for each of those. Those things I’d planned on keeping but if someone’s super interested then I’d probably be willing to sell them too.

I have merchandise NOT from Boston Comic Con as well. I am in possession of, god, at least like 15 mildly used Supernatural posters?? They traveled with me to college, so they have been put up and taken down at least once or twice, but apart from the corners they are in good condition. They were purchased at my uni’s campus poster fair and I have not seen them for sale in stores like FYE, Newbury Comics, etc. Most are full size, some vertical, some horizontal, glossy. My closet is overflowing with them. I think they were from the season 5-6 era. Here is the one smaller, 17 x 11, non-glossy one I have:

I think I have a couple Doctor Who and Sherlock ones as well. I bought each for around $10, I’ll take $5 for them, if you want multiple I can knock it down or smth. I’m not really sure how to ship posters, so that will be an adventure.

I also have the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary magazine package, which includes a 113-page magazine commemorating The Day of the Doctor and 50 years of Doctor Who history, an additional smaller magazine in the style of the 60s era about the First Doctor, and a set of large color cards in honor of each Doctor. I’m not keen to sell this, but if someone really really wants it, I’d be willing to chat.

I HAVE A FEW THINGS FOR GIVEAWAY. THESE ARE MOSTLY NOT OFFICIAL MERCHANDISE.

While digging through my things, I found relics of my time doing GISHWHES and other Misha-related activities. Firstly, I have a GISHWHES bumper sticker, from the year of the Wooster mascot (2013 maybe?). I had the Elopus one too but... I threw it out just a couple days ago, whoops. If someone wants this, it’s yours.

Also I... don’t know what kind of crack I was on (Misha-flavored, probably) when I made these, but... I am giving away my handmade set of Misha Collins christmas ornaments:

There’s 30 in total. They’re just laminated pictures of Misha, with pieces of string or floss (?? works good tho, and smells nice) as hooks.

One is a tree-topper, the one with the paper clip. The rest are about 4-7 inches long. They actually look pretty nice imo lmao but uhh, I think it’s time to let them go :P

Seeing as these are photos from the internet and I have no copyright ownership whatsoever, I’m giving them away rather than selling them.

Lastly, I have three pieces of fan art I purchased at the artists alley at Boston Comic Con a few years ago. I’d like to give these away, because my other option is throwing them out, as selling them would be art theft and I’m not here to make a profit on others’ art. They are all from the same artist; two are Supernatural, and one is Loki. Send me a message if you’d like to see photos of them.

If you are interested in one or more of these, or would like more information or photos, feel free to send me a non-anon ask or a chat message. I will ship anywhere in the U.S., and I will pay for the shipping. If you are outside the U.S. and really want one of these items, I may be able to give it to you with a small fee for the added shipping. I do not use Paypal, so payment in the form of an Amazon eGift Card is preferred.

If I can’t sell these within a couple of weeks, I’ll either give them to Good Will or throw them out. I feel like the best way for me to reach people who would most appreciate these items is on here, so I thought I’d give this a shot first. Thanks for reading this long post :)

#supernatural #doctor who #sherlock #superwholock #firefly #bear with me guys i've never sold anything before #i will self-reblog probably a handful of times this week sorry #long post #mine #i'd hate to just throw this stuff out or give it to consignment where the chances of some fan seeing them are low

please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. there are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

ARABELLA FIGG is AN ORDER MEMBER in the war, even though HER official job is as AN EMPLOYEE AT THE MAGICAL MENAGERY. the THIRTY year old SQUIB is known to be STEADFAST and ADAPTABLE but also PARANOID and EMOTIONALLY REPRESSED. some might label them as THE CAT LADY.

hello meet arabella little tiny bitter bean who loves cats a bit too much. imma dive into Background stuff first.

youth !

the figgs are an irish pureblood family, an old one, one of pride and ambition and neutrality in any kind of confrontation. they don’t meddle in purist movements, but don’t act out against them either. they live in the country, hundreds of kilometers away from london and the ministry, nicely removed from any turbulence occurring in the world. they’re passive, truly, prefer to revel in their privilege and money rather than do much of anything.

arabella is the first to come out of a union of a shafiq and a figg. after five years, two more kids follow, and she’s branded oldest: most responsible, the one to follow, the one to lead the way and be the example. and this she does, most of the time, but not when it comes to the most important thing: magic. her younger siblings show signs much earlier, accidental magic brightening their futures and those of her parents with pride. they think that she’s just a late bloomer, but she’s not --- her eleventh birthday passes and no letter arrives and the truth that most of them knew already dawns on them.

arabella figg, oldest of three, daughter of two respected purebloods, is a squib. they don’t know what to do at first; this is not what they want, this is not something that fits in their lives. they are disappointed, turn the blame on their daughter ( as if she can help it! ), and treat her differently, like a freak, an elephant in every room.

eventually, with some questionable spellwork to get her in, arabella is dropped at a prestigious muggle boarding school. she’s behind, there, on many things --- she’s good at english, as she was thought that by tutors, but all the history she learned was magical and she barely knows how to do the easiest of sums. she’s just thought stupid as well as lazy, and arabella just feels anger --- she doesn’t want to be in that place, where the kids are all from a different world than hers, where so much of her knowledge cannot be applied. she works hard, though, even if she hates the place and its stuffy dorms and the snooty kids. she doesn’t like failure, after all, nor does she want to be kicked off for failing too many classes.

her moments back at home are awkward at first, but grow more nasty over time --- her parents’ embarrassment grows into something more nasty; disgust and despise. she’s met with snide and is treated as less, because while the figgs are not the most actively pureblood family, they ARE traditional. a squib doesn’t fit in their lives, and they make that very clear, without ever saying the words exactly.

she breaks ties with them after a very nasty christmas dinner, where glasses and hexes flew and words were shouted and tears were shed. she fled, to a friend without a drop of magical blood in their blood, and stays there for the rest of christmas break. her last year at boarding school is spent working harder than ever, her ambition having grown out of nothing but spite and the desire to succeed. she gets accepted at a good university and is granted a scholarship to keep herself alive and works her ass off. she studies english lit, because books have become companions to her in a time where she neither fit in among her peers and her parents. she gets a bachelor!! onto the next bit!!

adult lyf !

she starts working for a master’s but drops out. why? war. WAR!!!! yay! war! she has more important shit to do than read and analyse books and god!! she just!! she walks in the squib rights marches and is reminded of all the anger she holds towards her parents, towards the shit attitude of so many purebloods. and somehow ends up getting an invite for the order from mr dumbles himself. she had corresponded with him years ago, wondering if she could follow some classes (she could not) and calling him some nasty word years later (self control? whomst? she was angry ok!!). she accepted and tried doing uni and order at the same time, but it just didn’t work (the traveling was killer tbh lmao, she CANT DISAPPARATE ITS TRAGIC) and so she Dropped uni bc priorities, but she had her bachelor so??? and so she moved to london and threw herself into the wizarding world again after having turned her back for a good five years.

started working at the magical menagerie bc she loves animals and cats!! moved to london (muggle london, tho, bc like ... it’s scary living in diagon alley nowadays esp as a squib). also started doing some freelance text writing stuff for shops around diagon alley who needed pr (her dad worked in pr too so she Knows the ways). just. made her life a little there.

like??? seven yrs have passed since then and she’s been doing her thing in diagon alley and london and man. the War has had its impact. being part of the muggle world allowed her to take distance from all the risks, but being in it again is reminding her of all the Shit people like her get.

paranoia tw // anyway. those years took its toll. arabella doesnt regret joining the order, not at all --- it gives her purpose, allows her to know more about what’s going on, gives her a channel to throw her anger into BUT. BUT. she’s grown paranoid. she thinks people follow her when they take the same routes, sees danger in corners where there is none and is overly wary, having asked people to put wards on her place, moving through the world too quickly, always in a hurry to get from one save place to another. it’s gone undiagnosed but she has paranoid personality disorder. end of tw //

personality & rambling !

okay wtf this is my first time playing this one and lsfklhdf that got LONG!!!

anyway arabella is ?? a smart cookie tbh, she’s got Intensely Good language/literacy skills. also? knows a lot abt cats. canonically becomes a kneazle/cat breeder. just!! intelligent.

super ambitious and would have been a slytherin but there are complications (read: war) which have kept her from following them + the whole ppd business is also a Thing. could’ve gotten a masters but ya know. the order called!

suppresses her anger like a Pro. has a Lot of it, re: her parents, the world, etc. just. god. she’s gonna explode one day but she’s just doing her repressive Thing rn.

makes good chocolate cake + is v dependable as a person. as an order member, she does a lot of Supportive shit, when necessary (she may be Repressing her own shit but she can LISTEN), is good at adapting to any situation and is kind of flying in between doing little jobs and doing stuff in the muggle world.

can adapt to many situations?? it’s?? really

loves her cats. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

likes red wine.

rolls her eyes sometimes and can come off as a bit of an asshole but she doesnt mean to, she’s just Chronically Done with the world around her. v brave, v scared.

when people fuck up easy shit she will get angry.

idk i dont have her figured out Too Much yet but i love her.

#( my heart is soft; my past is rough. )#maraudrshq:intro #this got rly long tbh the last section is ?? easy if u dont want to read it all

Honestly sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t mind you disappearing because your catching up stuff always makes me extra happy XD I honestly don’t know how you do it.

grumpysimmies replied to your post “Replies To The Spammers”

I'm looking forwards to get to know the chars you have yet to talk about xD

all my Ryders to be (Jian&Des, plus Olympia and Chikelu) are the most wip characters ever so there’s really not much to say (apart from how much I love Jian and Des’ dynamic)

grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “@pixeldemographics dared me to do this, so I did it. This isn’t THE...”

AS IF I DIDN'T LOVE FICUS WAY TOO MUCH ALREADY

I’M SO SORRY I DIDN’T EXPECT IT TO TURN OUT THIS WAY (expect to also love Aur, Flame, Snowdrift, Tabasco and Shine a lot more at some point...just saying. Things might or might not be happening.)

grumpysimmies replied to your photoset

Remind me to never get on your bad side Annie xD

it’s...not hard? tbh. But I wouldn’t let it get this far unless it’s a repetitive thing XD plus I couldn’t be mean irl, worst thing I’d do is rant abt a nameless friend to another friend

grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “Salim: Nononono! You can’t do this! It’s illegal! Shine: I can’t do...”

I LOVE HOW SHINE IS ENJOYING THIS WAY TOO MUCH

grumpysimmies replied to your post “Look mum I brushed my hair!”

But seriously I feel like it's so hard actually find lasting friends from uni (but it's their loss if they ignore you)

is it rly tho? like it obviously hurts me too so it’s also my loss xD but yeah...I agree it IS difficult. I feel like ppl are at that point in life where they are no longer looking for permanent close friends?

grumpysimmies replied to your photoset

It's really pretty ;-;

a quick sum-up of che’s future career plans, bc reasons

im halfway through the dive!! anime show that came out this summer season, and i’m having a lot of thoughts, and plus i finished going through all the footage i missed today of skate america while i was at a bball game, and it’s made me realize different things i guess?

it might be mid-long length so its going under a cut, but to gain intereststart off, this is all about my desire to be an athletic trainer for the usa olympic center at colorado springs, co !

ive been an at(now when you see that abb. you know what it means hah!! not assistant teacher hmm) student since my freshman year of high school, and i’ve loved it a whole bunch. back then i was set on going to columbia U for their writing program, and i wanted to major in graphic design afterwards/during/it wasnt super planned out i was a fr. i didnt know what bfa or mfa stood for yet. it wasnt until end of sophomore year than i thought about being an at for realsies.

but i also still loved gd. so there was a confliction there.

junior year i took a break from working volleyball in the fall and did my one and only year of football and it was terrible primarily bc the team i worked with didnt know how to function as a group and half the group were selfless bitch whores but like thats another storyyy, secondly bc i jus really discovered i didnt care abt football at all. it was mostly for the experience and i gained it and i liked it bc i hung out w a lot of people from helping out w varsity (i was one of two our of the five juniors that had been there since my fr year and was only on jv bc it was my first year w football, but one of the seniors had to work a bunch so when they needed an extra person i was the one w the most experience so i was w them a lot,) point was it was fun!!! and you have fun w ppl you like that you dont work w all the time and i shouldnt say fun bc lots of times it was awful,

basically! it was fun being w the varsity trainers which were the seniors and the other junior that had been around since fr year. volleyball was fun but it had always been a one-at-student-per-team sport , so it was different jus being w other ats that shared the same team and not the same sport(which in the us is made up of at least three different teams, a fr,jv,and varsity). it was a more open environment and so it inspired a lot of talk with the at grad students we had that semester (we got 3-4 every semester in a partnership w the D1 uni in town, it was always cool to hear stories from them!) and anyway i remember talking w a couple of the grads one practice and we were discussing all the different occupations athletic trainers could have, and what they wanted to work with in the future, and the topic veered towards professional sports and the olympics.

i thought it was really cool when we were talking about it, and then we got busy and it flew out of my mind. i dont remember when it came back and became a focus, but sometime before my senior year, i had decided i wanted to work at the olympic level.

real quick i mentioned gd and the struggle, so to bring that into focus, my junior year i took a whole bunch of different tech classes (gd&i, compsci, webtech) and in one of those, i had the opportunity to go to a ... i cant remember what the term was for it, but it was kinda an event for gd students and it had a little competition and stuff, and it was really fun! nd you got a lot of info abt the community college hosting it and i learned their program was really good, so the gd versus at internal struggle continued, and i remember talking to my sponsor teacher (she actually taught all three of my tech classes that year aaa i loved her) about how i didnt know what to do and shit and i dunno what she told me but like, i think she was trying to be encouraging but she basically said it was up to me, like she didnt try and nod me into a direction, that i can recall.

so SOMEHOW bc i honestly cannot remember, by senior year i’ve decided that im gonna jus fuck it and pick BOTH and double major in gd and athletic training. AND i had it all planned out, where i was gonna get a degree in gd and open up an online business, and then go into a masters program for at and then enter into the olympic field.

by this point creative writing is still cool and a great hobby but i couldnt possibly double major AND have a minor that’d be too much. id still love to take a cw course tho one day.

basically a buncha crazy stuff happened that first semester but by winter break i had an acceptance letter to a uni a couple hours north of home with a good accredited undergrad program (accredited basically means you graduate w a masters in four years so its fasttracked which woulda been great but uh..) and by the time i found out that next semester that they were doing away with the accredited program i was already too emotionally invested to consider panic-switching(panic bc it was february and id already been admitted hah...) but i decided it’d be okay. basically if you dont remember/werent around one of my school’s head ats died in a car crash died around early october ‘16. she went to undergrad where i go now, and i’d talked to her about it september that semester wondering if she knew anything abt their program and uh surprise, she’d done the same program small world. after the funeral in november and a ton of thought i applied there. (november was.. crazy in general last year. rly crazy)

may was when i started adding on sports to the future olympics job, bc i started thinking about it and after finally getting a friend to watch yuri on ice, he started making his was through all of sochi’s figure skating stuff, and then the 2010 vancouver olympics, and i decided i wanted to recap a bit on that too.

the 2010 olympics was really my first experience with figure skating. i’m a west texas gal and so theres not a lot out here to get exposed to, so seeing these best-of-the-best class sports was fun, and the earliest experience i can remember of such. i was in fifth grade so i dont remember a ton, but i do remember being captivated by korea’s yuna kim, who won gold that year in fs. shes an fs legend at this point, so if you’re into figure skating and don’t know who she is, go look her up. you wont be disappointed.

in 2012 was the london olympics. i remember a lot from it, like watching the opening ceremony with my parents and seeing the queen jump out of a helicoptor(which is like,, still cool to this day wow) and being fascinated my michael phelps and all the swimming he did so grandly. it was also my first real exposure to diving. the oldest i could recall anything abt the sport was at a pizza hut somewhere.. in town i think, and i was w my best friend at the time and my mom was there so i think maybe we were on the way back from the lake??? sounds right, i think. and we were talking abt how i always held my nose when i went underwater bc i didnt know how to not get water all up my nostrils and be underwter(and i still dont to this day aha) and she mentioned like, joining a diving team would be cool! would help me get over it and all! and i like recalling it dunno what she was talking abt bc we lived in dirt city nothing so i highly doubt there was or is any sort of diving sport happening. swimming, yeah maybe, there were lessons at pools and bodyworks areas around town, competitive teams im not sure tho, but not diving like at all so??? dunno.

so my next and technically first real experience with it was watching the london olympics. and i thought, wow, this is so neat!! i watched from that one day like the opening events, and i think i was old enough to search online like yea i had a laptop by then so i looked up the schedule for the things i wanted to see most of, and i ended up watching i think most of the diving events (i missed a couple for.. archery, i think? maybe?) and absolutely loving it. iunno what it was, maybe something i never thought i could do?(bc not hold my nose?? while i dove???????? scaryy) but i enjoyed it a bunch.

i was older when sochi was a thing, my 8th grade year. i was able to appreciate things a lot more. when i tuned into events, tony hawk and snowboarding were the main focus, but figure skating was on a lot as well. i had a tv in my room by that point, so if i didnt like what was playing on the main tv, i could go watch another event. i learned a lot of names and faces through that, and so while my bff was watching it our senior year if i was with him id point out skaters and their nationalities and stuff, like yuzuru hanyus always been a modern day household name w figure skating, but i leanred abt him BECAUSE of the sochi olympics, and he was one of the ones i’ve never forgotten. i really really liked it, so much that i watched worlds after, and around the same time my fr year, i tuned in to just the worlds championship again. i didn’t pick up trying to watch grand prix(which is their regular season, for those unaware) season until my junior year, and most of it was day-or-two-late videos from youtube, since the ice channel i think it a paid-for thing (i still dont know much abt it hah) and nothing was on tv otherwise, aside from the skate america event. but since that first time after sochi, ive always been around watching worlds fs near the beg of each year. i’d familiarized myself by senior year with the fs world, and actually,

early (i think march?) of my junior year, i searched up trying to find a figure skating anime at the time. and what did i find?? ginban, the only figure skating anime at the time. i watched like maybe all of one episode, it was abt a girl who shared her body w the ghost of a former figure skater while she was competing in events, and it was.. okay? lackluster, in the animation dept, but it was a 2005 show so.. yeah.

so after that i was like kk that wasnt good lets find another. and i didnt. not yet, anyway. instead, i found an announcement for violet evergarden’s animated adaptation, and yuri on ice, a realistic adaptation of the sport of figure skating. thats bolded bc its important. i found that shit abt yoi before it even had a promo poster, certainly before the pv came around that got everyone hyped up. i found it bc i was looking for figure skating in the first place. in fact, i think when the pv came out and got popular, i didnt even relate it to the upcoming fs anime i’d read about previously. it took me a bit to connect the dots.

watching yuri on ice at the same time as the gp 2016 season was surreal, but really interesting. i got my bff into it before the second to last episode came out, and i only remember that bc he finally showed any interest when he found something on twitter abt it being gay (newsflash/// hes gay, and before yoi his fav show was no6 bc that was as close as it got. he still rly likes it, we both do, but his solid favc is now definitely yoi. representation matters and all) and was like well now i HAVE to watch it and i was all yes it ends soon so pls. and he watched it twice in a weekend, and thrice before the finale came out, and then a few more times after that, iunno how many times but certainly more thn i have(i went back after the .. maybe ep 10? w/e ending had the after party reveal that changed everything, so i went back to analyze everything before the next ep) and between the week of 11 and finale 12, he started watching the sochi fs competition, and then the 2010 after the show ended w ep 12.

seeing this great fs show and getting a friend into the world of figure skating really renewed my love for it all. before the semester went out i went back and watched the reruns of the sochi fs stuff. and by may i’d decided i wanted to cosider that to be the sport i worked with.

with diving, it took a similar twist. in the form of the rio 16 olympics. i was all over that shit, i downloaded an nbc app on my phone so i could watch events live while i traveled with volleyball to a tournament in dallas and while i was at practice w them at home and generally jus away from the house and a tv. i planned that shit out had a schedule and everything for what i was watching live, and a lot of it was swimming, but a whoooole lot of live stuff was the diving.

in the hotel room in dallas the tv would always be on to w/e olympics events were airing at the time, either track or diving tho, one or the other, or recaps. quite a few girls ended up in the room in the evening and we’d all do stuff and watch in passing at the same time, and it was suuuuuper fun. watching the chinese women perform flawlessly and walk away w all the gold was fun, but finding a good commentator to actually say such was a disheartening challenge( one of the most memorable moments w live commentary that year was hearing a woman say of one of the chinese ladies that she’d done better before, after they revealed her personal best score ever like rly cmon be unbiased and jus passionate abt the sport youre covering pls.

ive always been super fond of the diving scene. it may not be as much as fs, but honestly, i wish i grew up in an area w a diving team now, or wish i could try it out now, bc thats how much fun it seems. i still wanna go up to the big city like 30min away from uni and learn to ice skate in the civic center there, but hands down if i had to pick a sport to join tomorrow or die i’d pick diving.

so also by may, and throughout the culmination of senior year, diving was the second sport on the olympic to-train-for list. you get a five-year contract w the olympics, now i think it’s usa as a whole and i think its by center so say, if i get a job in colorado springs i cant apply in another five years to chula vista or even like lake placid, but iunno for sure. the five-year thing is involved somehow bc i’ve heard it from a physical therapist and trainer-that-works-in-a-sports-med-clinic duo in one body named sarah, who’s been contracted out from the clinic by my high school since junior year also, bc she knows people who’ve worked w the olympics, and then another from church that worked w olympics that knows my family uh iunno how well but i know of him, i think he also works in the clinic as some sort of on-hand surgeon but a diff person than who sarah knew. so its five years somehow and then i’ll take my bfa in gd and open my online business and do that from a studio at home and look after my owl/cat pet combo.

since may, it had been ‘olympics, with either figure skating or diving’. and it stayed that for a long time. now, since a couple weeks ago, and this is again while gp season is happening for fs, its diving. i wanna work w the usa olympic diving team as their team athletic trainer, and i cant do it this summer bc i have to have completed two years of uni, instead of a certain standing, like be a junior, but so NEXT summer, before my senior year of uni, (i came in a sopho so 6 sem only ah) i’m applying for an internship at the center in colorado springs, and that’s the team i hope i work with.

now i tell people, diving, but if i get offered figure skating, i’ll take it, but diving is the goal now. if i love it and wanna continue professionally, great, i can do that and have an online gd shop. and if i decide i want something different? i’ll work olympics and then join w a professional-level figure skating i actually dunno how it works. coach, and their skater in turn. coach, with multiple skaters under them. a culmination of diff usa skaters. w/e, something in the professional fs world.

and thats uh, thats it! dive has been so much fun to watch, and i realize i talk a lot on here about working w basketball and being an at student in general and the vast majority have no idea what i mean, so hopefully this clarifies. thank you!!

I also have a soft spot for electro/synthwave and cringe trashy pop songs like jesse mccartney’s (voice of our favourite robin dick in young justice, which is how I came across him), despite his occasionally awful sexist lyrics

Song stuck in my head: Lately it’s been ed sheeran’s new singles

Last movie I watched: That’d probably be la la land. I’m fitting in as many films as I can now before I become a broke Uni student, and the cinema’s the only place to go since the dvd store I worked at closed (piracy is not a victimless crime, kids)

Last tv series I watched: Been watching a couple episodes of black mirror on netflix which is very very good, as well as starting an old english murder mysteries series, which was written by the cool guy who wrote the alex rider books

What I’m wearing: grey and pinky floral tshirt and denim shorts that have gotten all frayed round the edges

When I made my blog: Around August last year, back when i started collecting too many DC posts in my likes and decided I needed a real place to put them, thus cementing my true fall into comic nerdism

Stuff I post: lots of character edits, comic panels with funny/interesting scenes and/or really cool art, and good old fanart of my fav characters

Do I get regular asks: no, I’m more of a quiet liker and reblogger, but i like to keep track of my favourite blogs and see how my mutuals are going

How did I choose my url: I used to be barbara-richard, but carrie kelley from frank miller’s dark knight returns is my true hero ..

Gender: cis female

Hogwarts house: as much as I’d like to be hufflepuff for the traits of honesty/kindness etc, I’d probably be ravenclaw owing to my creativity and academic-ness

Pokemon team: never played it!

Favourite colour: I’ve been infected by my mum’s love of turquoise, but I also like green, pink, and orange

How many hours do I sleep: not enough honestly, possibly around 7 or so hours but more like 10 on days when I don’t have anything on. My philosophy is that if you sleep past 10:30 it’s too late for breakfast, so you might as well stay in bed til lunch. I also stay up til midnight tho so I’m definitely not an early bird

Favourite number: birthdate - 27. I’ve got mild synesthesia so I associate numbers with colours and personalities, and 27 is golden apple green. I do the same thing with letters and words too, which is quite handy for memorising

Favourite characters: of course dick grayson is top of the lot - i read a funny article a while ago that nicely analysed why he’s the most popular DC character, which they summed up as “in a medium where males get character development and females get the booty shots, dick grayson is in the lucky position of getting both”. As fate would have it, I first discovered him the way most old fans would’ve - seeing the handsome young burt ward playing robin in the 60s tv show! Another hilarious article I read talked about how said actor exploited his fame, quote unquote attending parties in costume and having women banging on the door while he was in bed with other women. #goals Anyway, I also love my kickass female role models, babs and carrie, as well as angsty jason and yj m'gann, wally, and roy

Dream job: like most of us, it appears, I want to be a writer of any stripe - author, comic scripter, or screenwriter for film or tv. My ‘realistic’ career path is book editing - I know a bit about publishing cause my dad’s an author, it’d be cool as well as educational to help others refine their novels, and hopefully it’ll get my foot in the door to becoming a writer myself

Tagging: I’m not a particularly biggish blog, but I’ll tag @plagued-by-batman and @pentapuslikes if you want to, and anyone else who’s keen ☺️☺️☺️

#thanks!#about moi

Idk why but these days im v interested in like nature, agriculture in sum way, farming jdjdnd n stuff like these after i left 2 szeged i realised tht im might not made 4 city life afterall .... its 2 much 4 me but mayb i jst need 2 get out of my shell finally but im so bad at socialising tht it makes me feel even more isolated from the others ..... i realised how much i miss fresh air, silence n the fact tht im living in the middle of the nature .... n obvs the most important part is having ur personal space mostly uninvaded

Im thinking of becoming either a horticultural engineer even tho im still not sure wht theyre supposed 2 do or studying geography or earth studies or whts it called bc u can become an astronomist there which is So Kull i wanted 2 become 1 a yr ago but i realised tht it requires 2 much physics (bc most times u have 2 b a physics major 2 choose the astronomy specialisation then u can have an masters degree in it l8) but ive found out tht geography majors can also specialise in astronomy except its not the same as physics majors 1 bc it focuses on the more geographic aspect of the subject (at least thts wht im thinking) so like thts .... V Gud !!!!!! But i dont have geography final exam scores bc i took IT instead so ill have 2 pay n take the exam in order 2 get accepted into any uni w geo major

4 horticultural engineer u need biology 2 which im not rly interested in tbh so mayb ill scrap this concept as a whore ndndjskk but id b nice 2 like build gardens ... well actually plan how others shld build them bc i wont b shoveling dirt all day thts 4 sure but making gardens is my fav part in the sims as well even if i live in an apartment ill still have sum kinda garden section or at least i put potted plants everywhere so mayb i cld take this as a sign 4 smth in the future ?????? Idk im searching 4 any kinda childhood memory thtll help me in finding a major or a career thts Made 4 Me but idk im also into sum kjnda writing related stuff but i dont rly write in my free time ???? N i dropped the idea of applying 2 b a dramaturgy major bc i h8 watching movies n i kno nothing abt cinema n films n how these stuff work i only have the knowledge i gained in arts n media class ... but like tht was the only writing related stuff lol id Love 2 do arts but im not tht gud at drawing anymore i feel like i can express my Artistique Feeling via writing more like writjng poems or short novels or jst sum artistic shit bc actual books r 2 much work lol but thts not tht outstanding either anymore bc i use english so often my hungarian skills r degrading i forget words in both languages n shit ao :///// so like my horoscope said i shld b an architect but i feel like thts the least artsy art bc u need a lot more then jst ur creativity n sum paper n pencils u have 2 kno abt maths blueprints n physics so ur building can stand still n strong ... so ye i never rly thot abt it as a v self expressive thing bc there r 2 many limits ..........

At least im feeling better now mentally which is a gud thing even tho i still feel like a major disappointment 2 the whole family n im still feeling like i cant do anything well 2 save my own life so itll b interesting 2 have 2 try stand on my own feet having an education n a job when my own brain is sending acid down my body everytime i do smth not 100% correctly n exactly how i imagined it bc my dangerously low self esteem my submissive weak ass personality n my perfectionism dont go well 2gether
