Hmph. Allow me to highly doubt this latter remark.

Hey! Just wanted to reach out and let any followers mostly here for my work on Repeat:|| know that I AM STILL WORKING ON IT! I REALLY AM!

I have about 20-25k words currently unpublished and am like... 1/2 to 2/3 to the end. I'm sure with Missing Link dropping soon KH will be driving the serotonin bus again and the hyperfocus will Get It Done.

Previously, it was easy to denote a section as 'done' when they moved on from a world, and so I could easily publish those sections. But as I entered the finale, keeping all the timey whimey stuff sorted and dealing with significantly more moving parts and suddenly a much larger cast of characters, I resolved to not begin posting again until the whole thing was done so I would have the luxury of shifting things around as needed.

It has taken a lot of time and recovery to just be able to feel comfortable using Tumblr again, or posting any kind of writing. I have a few Hazbin fics up because that fandom is generally less changed and it is easy to hide behind the Asexual Vore Demon. Also, I am not playing 5 dimensional time travel chess writing for it haha, so it is something that is just a lot easier to produce if I am not having a good health day. But honestly, even that took a lot of courage and I waited a long time before posting, as my agoraphobia became significantly more severe for a while. I spent a lot of time catching up in JJBA in the past few years too, but haven't posted any of the writing I've done for it for fear of the witch hunting doxxing campaigns that go on over ships and things over there.

Admittedly that has taken longer than anticipated for a lot of reasons ranging from ye olde social anxiety and fandom drama to just real world stuff. A tree fell on my house! On a happier note, I now have two goats and they are named Xehanort and Eraqus.

Admittedly, besides logistics, I am waiting until it is done to post because I don't want to deal with any drama/fallout for how I handle things like Xehanort's Actual Motivations™, how characters who have previously not had screen time get characterized, my understand of certain metaphysics, people being upset things Are Wrong when in fact I am referencing something that is explicitly canon from KHUX and such that they haven't played, a lack of understand of the inherent themes of moral philosophy and the duality of history, and, you know, people generally being bitchy. The finale is a turning point in a few ways, in that both the tone shifts and that it's when all the 'hot takes' come fully to light, so I am nervous. For people who have been nothing but supportive I will finish this. For you and for myself and for Sora and Xeha. But fuck if fandom spaces aren't as safe as they used to be, and I'm tired.

As a teaser some general things to look forward to are: Riku finding out about The Boyfriend, light squad screen time, yelling at Yensid, Ansem SoD but he has awkward estranged dad energy, ominous Vanitas implications, things that come out of Lea's mouth, Kairi being relevant.

And if you read this far, here's a lil preview snippet for you:

"After I do that, you gotta hand over your guardian.” Sora clarified. When Ansem nodded he reached his own hand forward and shook.

“Deal.”

Sora half expected some kind of sinister dark magic to flare up when they shook hands… but nothing happened. It was almost anticlimactic, just a normal handshake. That was… good? But it still left Sora waiting for the other shoe to drop again.

Sora turned around to face the other two who had come with him. “Alright then. I… guess I have some work to do.”

Xehanort began to answer, only to be cut off.

“Oh, and Sora? One more thing.”

Sora half turned back to the heartless, getting ready to give him an ear full for trying to pull something, but-

“Be sure to take careful care of my youngest self. By Vanitas’ logic, he is as my precious baby brother. It would be remiss of me not to do my familial duty and ensure the well being of his heart.”

To which Sora, unsurprisingly, turned bright red and began floundering helplessly.

“You!” Xehanort was not faring much better.

And Vanitas had gone from poorly hidden laughter to full blown cackling. Then he stepped forward and high fived the Heartless.

And that was… huh.

Something about that, about seeing Ansem of all people acting like a regular guy… high fiving his friend and laughing over something stupid and- and normal like teasing someone over their boyfriend and not something super evil or sadistic. He was a Heartless- and in a way, Vanitas sort of was too, right? But right now they were just acting like regular everyday people…

Sora adopted an overly dramatic serious expression and gave Ansem a salute. “I’ll have him back by 10, sir!”

“Sora!” Xehanort hissed full of betrayal. Sora flashed him an apologetic grin. Ansem’s grin was significantly less apologetic, if not amused.

“Good man.”

DWMB JAKE BREAKDOWN PLZZZZ he's one of my fav people ever he's such a silly guy.. he doesn't have a clue in the world i quote him often

HAHAHA you’re gonna open up the dwmb jake lore rabbit hole i have stored…. its lowk so boring actually putting it under the cut so i can have a space to info dump

also doesnt have a clue in the world that you quote him is taking me out thats so funny

less of a breakdown, more of my beef with the guy who inspired him:

okay so ive mentioned this before but dwmb started a year before i wrote it with only two ideas on a google document: riki was a jjk fan and jake was this guy i knew. everything you see in jake’s instagram introduction is like a near replica of this guy who followed me on instagram a bit ago. my friends and i call him bibleverse. funnily enough his name was jacob. scarily close to jake.

cringe ass instagram layout. his name in his bio was 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓯𝓸𝓷𝓽. had his own ‘philisophical’ quotes as posts, pinterest photo dumps mixed with his own photos, TOM AND JERRY LIMINAL SPACE REEL REPOST. i went and found the exact video he reposted for that chapter.

and normally when people follow me on instagram that i have mutual friends with i’ll follow them back because im not famous like that. this guy was actualy Too much i was like i need to unfollow him. but the problem was his posts ended up becoming so ironically funny i could never press the unfollow.

his quote that goes in the hall of fame was: Into the Spiderverse? More like into the Bibleverse 🙏

like got me fucking dead. he was so millennial. but one day (i think it was when i was posting dwmb actually) i checked and he UNFOLLOWED ME. brehhh i was so mad because i wanted to unfollow you this whole time and you beat me to it??)?? why unfollow me like what the hell did i do. sorry im still not over this. petty as hell

taking all my negative feelings away drom mr bibleverse he really did remind me a little of this idea i had for jake. becuase i knew jakes ass was a band kid when he was in school, i always thought if we went to highschool together in like 2018 we’d be friends. he’s also vaguely inspired by a handful of my millennial adjacent friends that i adore a lot more than bibleverse. ive mastered the art of imitating them. my darling private school pals from highschool. and honestly a little bit of me from 2018

Sorry if this is a silly question. But I thought you're the person I should ask this to. I feel like, past the teenage and college ages, I don't ever see pictures or videos or stories about friend groups or couples doing the kind of unabashedly cute, dumb stuff together like you see with teenagers and stuff. Stuff like cuddling and holding hands +other physical contact (for friends) or all descending on a convenience store together or playing silly jokes on each other or doing something stupid with household objects because you want to see how it goes/why not. Do people stop doing that because of social norms or thinking it's embarrassing or weird? Or do they still do that?

(basically am I doomed to never have some experiences because I never dated and was a loser in high school)

Ohh anon, I am a good person to ask this to and have such a positive answer. Yes, people still do that. Not all of them but yes it's out there. Yes. Have some stories/favourite memories of mine: New Year's Eve. We were all twentysomethingish and doing a small silly party at a friend's house. Friend's roommate was off with his girlfriend (both also very good friends of ours). We decided to prank him. So when midnight hit that NYE we were at the grocery store (ahh, America, where nothing ever closes ever) buying a ton of post-it notes and sparkly markers and things. We wrote really random silly messages on them and hid them EVERYWHERE in his room. Evrywhere. Under the mattress. Inside his CD cases. Inside shirt pockets. Inside his CD-ROM drive. Geek quotes, compliments, random philisophical questions, whatever. He was still finding them a year later. (side note: on one note I thought I'd put a random Bible verse. Didn't look it up, just went "Uhhh, Revelations because it's weird, 4:6 because they're random numbers, why not." It ended up on the curtains facing the window. Person looked it up and the verse said "And before them stretched a great sea of glass." I don't think my subconscious knew that) Anyway. Emigrated to Scotland at 24 to go to grad school, leaving all my friends behind. Yeowtch. Made new friends. @amuseoffyre and @arianaderalte, with whom I stayed up all night watching anime and talking about completley ridiculous things. Ariana and I pranked each other by sneaking small chocolate bars in each others' backpacks now and then. Fyre would percolate ideas and history at us until we fell off our chairs laughing (Twenty years later on she still does this and I still love it). Ariana had a small Totoro named Sauron-chan, and once when he was left at my house I took him on An Adventure with tons of photos of his hijinks before returning him to her. Oh, and more. @mywingsareonwheels held a readthrough, inviting a bunch of their friends from around the country to come and sit in a circle in a room and read King Lear. I was Cordelia. (I eventually married the person who was cast as the Duke of Albany, incidently.) I remember our Fool singing some of his lines overdramatically to the tune of Once In Royal David's City. There were other things with that group as years went on, and then group holidays, renting a mansion in the Highlands for a week and doing plays, cooking a feast for each other, lying around with half of us drunk and the other half teetotal talking about whatever, playing board games, arguing about cheese. There was a swimming pool and one night I brought a bunch of balloons with LED lights in them and we swam in the dark by their light. Readthrough weekends where we did all the Shakespeare history plays in one long weekend, or all the Jane Austen audio plays. There's been schisms in the group but my god there's been fun too. Even during lockdown, @mywingsareonwheels organized readthroughs that we did over zoom, and every weekend we watch something.

Regarding my partner formerly the Duke of Albany....I hadn't ever dated much, to be honest. I was romantic and fell in smit every ten minutes but didn't want to do anything with sex unless it was with someone who actually had a romantic interest in me and vice-versa, which no one ever did, so...just didn't do much with any of it, to be honest. So I didn't have much experience. When we started dating I was 24. We had our first kiss in a frikking train station. (sorry, train people, but it was chaste). We held hands all over the city. We laughed. We kept turning to each other and saying "This is fun. Why did no one ever tell me this could be fun? I thought it was supposed to be all serious and intense and difficult, but this is easy!" And it was and it stayed fun. We got to do all the silly smitten things I'd never gotten to do as a teen/college student and assumed I just wouldn't experience ever. I realized I loved them and it was going to work when we were in a pub where it was too loud to talk and he invented finger breakdancing, which I don't think I can describe. We got married a year later which is how I ended up living here permanently. We're still silly at each other. It's still fun. I'm in my mid-40s now. I still have friends where I can headbutt their arm in frustration and they'll pet my hair, where I can make ridiculous faces at them, who don't mind that at the drop of a hat I will burst into song. Who will sing "Oh Hamster Tree" by Clive Barker with me in four-part harmony. Yes, yes to all of it, you can find people who will do that. And honestly, fandom's not a bad place to look for them. It's full of outsiders, and outsiders already know that they're not going to fit The Mold, and sometimes we just accept that and sometimes we embrace it and sometimes we celebrate it. Long story short: yes. Look for the people you can be silly with, and who will make it safe for you to be silly with them. They're out there and my god they're the best friends you will ever have.

As for the people who are too embarassed or wedded to social norms? For the former, encourage them to feel safe if you and they can. For the latter, leave them to it. The game they're trying to win is exhausting and impossible and you're better off out of it. Look for the ones who are kind and laugh a lot. Who encourage benevolent conspiracy rather than things that are 'funny' at someone else's expense. Who protect each others' weak points and respect your boundaries. It's not too late. Yes.

wenzhou and MBTI

DISCLAIMER: I HAVE BASICALLY NO KNOWLEDGE OF MBTI. everything here mbti-related is either based off my own assumptions abt mbti, or shallow google searches.

so. i. just. realised. that wenzhou. have. opposite mbti types.

like literal opposites.

E vs I

wkx is clearly extroverted. he has shitty social skills because of his childhood but if he honed his social skills he could honestly be just. really outgoing and social butterfly-ish. you know?

meanwhile i dont even hv to say anyth abt zzs he's like a 100% introvert lMAO

N vs S

okay so wkx is always quoting poetry and waxing philisophical ideas. he sees the world through metaphor (average lit kid) while zzs generally bases himself on observations and just. well he's VERY non-imaginative when it comes to philosophy etc. 

F vs T

i mean. wkx is emotional. and sensitive. and acts on those emotions. well he hides them well when he wants to but for the most part he's just. very feelings-oriented. zzs COULD be more in the middle for this one but tbh he leans on his feelings a lot less when making decisions.

P vs J

this one is based off my view of ghost valley being... welll.... a mess. while tianchuang is very uk. VERY. ORGANISED. but of course an assassin organisation cant be compared to. literal. hell. so i will rethink this a bit

edit: okay i did more research and i think im right on this. wkx is def more spur-of-the-moment decisions and works more to adapt while zzs meticulously plans out what he does.

SO THEYRE LITERAL OPPOSITES?? AT LEAST ACCORDING TO MBTI???? ig personality isnt everything since they're entirely one in heart about everythig else 

okay disclaimer 2: its very possible that i got zzs wrong cuz im not a fan of him so im not very deeply invested in him or his character. this analysis is so effing shallow- idk shit abt him or abt istj so if ur an mbti professor or a zzs hardcore fan please dont be mad orz

ALSO IM ENFP/INFP (ambivert pog?) SOOOOOO

when will my ISTJ zzs come to sweep me off my feet

*remembers that wkx is the one who courted zzs*

shit i have to do work??

[erisolkat]

such as every work on the wikipedia article for important philisophical publications. seems fun seems nice to be able to quote infinite amounts of utter bullshit

i dont wish i grew up in an apartment in the middle of waterworld all alone (sawtooth and squarewave wire mothers and lil cal cloth mother, how did the man only kill himself thrice (in canon) (four times including post canon), we all saw those baby monkey experiments, shit was brutal) but i do wish i had that much free time cause i would love to read mass amounts of inane shit

[ladynahualli]

What if you spent your whole life trying to reach something thinking you will be happy once you get it. Only to find out you wont. And that you might even become more unhappy. This truth made me realize that contentment with what you got in the present is the only way to live. And that by living this way you are drawn less and less by illusions.

"Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind"

Exactly! Also another quote that I particularly like is one I first read in middle school by Ashleigh Brilliant: “always be kind to unkind people; they’re the ones who need it the most.”
