I think I'm in the "conscious incompetence" stage of being a social animal in the real world and it sucks so majorly. bro what do you do after you realize you're bad at socializing and then in-person interaction gets harder because you know you're failing at it now.
#Robin processes emotions on main#I WANT to get good at socializing#I used to be better and I'm now worse >:[#in some ways. in some ways I've improved (e.g. am kinder). but I used to have more confidence and an easier time staying present#now I'm always shutting down and running away#literally I leave the room and go calm down in my room#I want to learn to regulate that impulse and become a chill person to hang out with. but How#I've been struggling lately with punishing myself for running away (not physically but with like. spirals of self-recrimination)#I think one good step would be to get mindful about praising myself for small steps again. I'll change faster if im kinder to myself#also I think seeking reassurance from the people I'm around more often even if it seems silly would be good#ALSO. a major problem I'm facing is that I am living with my parents. and my little sisters. and I don't... I... it's rough.#I used to parent my 15 (then 9) y/o little sister when my parents were gone and I still struggle with feeling Responsible For Her#so every time she's a little cringe I end up feeling like it's my fault and I'm gonna be punished for it and I don't know how to deal with#—how to deal with it#BIG SIGH#I'm TRYING to become a good adult who can help others rather than just living in desperate self-defensive survival mode forever#but it's so hard bro#and another issue is that I'm growing further and further apart from my parents' fundamentalist brand of Christianity#and feeling more and more incapable of making friends and bringing them to visit me. because I have to be perfect around my parents#how can I make friends if I can't offer them hospitality??#how can I be a fully realized adult if I have to hide in plain sight??#I need to move out so bad. even if I'm lonely at first I HAVE to move out#in related news my seasonal job is Over and I'm looking for full-time work! please pray for me if you're the praying type or just#send me encouraging words#that would help#<33333 I will be ok it's just a bad situation rn

Continuing the rant-iness of last post's notes onto this one i think (I appreciate if they're read, i think I'm too self-conscious to have them in the post itself)
#another thing that's kinda starting to get to me is the engagement these chapters get#i just remember i used to get more comments on Ao3 from a handful different people last year when i was uploaded Ch3 stuff#and now i kinda just get them from the same few people#don't get me wrong. i LOVE those and shout out to these people y'all are real ones fr#but when I'm releasing 10k+ words chapters back to back and getting so little engagement it starts to feel a bit discouraging#like. what happened? is my writing getting worse? are my ideas not as interesting as they were then?#i know it's most likely because I'm no longer posting updates weekly like i used to last year#but part of me can't help but worry if the fault it's on me as a writter#so to anyone who bothered reading these rambly notes; please! leave comments!#i hate being this annoying i feel awful asking for this but it's the one way i can tell people are actually taking their time with my stuff#even if it's a short comment. a thought or a joke. i assure you anything is better than silence#and I'll appreciate it so so much#hyena ramblings#dra -2+2#rant i guess?#more like vent now that i think about it

So finally I can talk more CR stuff after my self enforced pre-119 embargo has been lifted
and Folks, Critters, daresay I Friends: I am exhausted
But it's in a good way, mostly. But only because I have fretted myself for 2 weeks - 2 fair and acceptable weeks because people are the priority when it comes to the fires - only for the expected to be 'final showdown' to have a phase two that continues into next episode (wherein Ludinus could still appear to make things worse), meaning that I'm gonna fret myself into more exhaustion for at least another week and continue my accelerating descent into sleep-deprived madness. Other than that, I am happy with what we were given this episode.
What felt like a mountain to climb after 118 caused such deflation in the fandom has slowly turned a corner thanks to Bell's Hells', well the ones who have known each other longer than a week, will to protect one another; to save Imogen and Imogen's will to get back to her friends. Now Imogen - God Eater Imogen might we add - is free, Predathos is diminished further of power, the Hells are temporarily powered up via boons, and finally, FINALLY, we have an Option C for the god stuff: mortality, similar to how they did on Downfall. A chance for the gods to humble themselves which in a way can gauge their understanding better of what the world and its inhabitants need, to stand alongside their children as family that can be empathised with, rather than denizens living above and away that cannot be understood. Granted it won't be perfect, but no option was perfect - even the Divine Gate has proven not to be perfect - and at least this one is better than death or departure, and it will indeed be up to them to make that choice.
There is still the matter of Predathos and maybe/likely Ludinus of course, as well as trying to convince the gods of this alternative, so everything is far from over, but there is a bit more hope now and I am equally frightened and excited to see the next episode - more than I was for 118 and 119 - and its outcome.
#critical role#cr spoilers#c3e119#bells hells#predathos#exandrian pantheon#c3 spoilers#Dorian once again proving his quality and big props to Fearne and Laudna as well in the ep#still Braius you dick - you may've suggested mortality but you're a dick for stealing the mask and BH deserve to chew you out for it#the option of gods being mortal will be a culture shock to many of them but some (like the Everlight) will probably happily go for it#Azzy though he will not take it with grace; only survival with additional plotting - but perhaps that'll beget future stories down the line#honestly I feel like the Wildmother and Lawbearer will struggle to agree to it - given their nature as lovers and having to be separated#it's hilarious though that Vecna tried to become a god for centuries and now 30ish years later he may have to go back to being mortal again#someone here mentioned Vax raising the Matron like Purvan did and I can't help but imagine Vax and Keyleth raising a kid Matron#not thrilled about Imogen still being a vessel mind you but compromises are abound and aplenty right now#still hope the other Hells get a chance to shine; Ashton may've broken Ludie's concentration but it was overshadowed by Power Word Stun#Predathos really had it in for them in combat - maybe it recognized the Empress? - Chet's not had many openings to come in clutch either#so yeah just something clutch for Chet and Ashton (could you say Titan combo with Fearne?) to shine a good spotlight on them would be nice#also the other ships had some bits can mine get some feeding? I get they're fighting for their lives so priorities but like please?#should've known after Lucien that Matt'd go 2+ stages...felt like Ludie was stage 1 and 2 though - might be 5 stages if he shows up again#if Predathos is now the entire Hallowed Cage does it count as an object? Asking for a Titan friend who doubles damage to objects...#it'll be interesting to see how they use the 2 extra levels - especially casters with a potential 9th level spells now#I have like a backlog of fanart to like as well which I'll get to but I'm on 799 and my autistic brain wants something particular for 800

when I was in high school there was a tendency whenever there was an attractive boy to simply fan over him. in a way that talked over everything he might say for himself and created a narrative that completely ignored, the fact in some cases, that he was really struggling—or if he was struggling, to pin all the blame on the girl he’s dating and completely ignore the thousands of other factors (no it can’t be mental illness or unaccommodated disability or systemic abuse or exploitation and if he is in an abusive relationship we won’t ever consider the factors that put him at risk for that)
and I’m not saying this fandom is like that. I get the need for privacy around some things and how in public conversations sometimes it’s a lot more respectful to stick to the positives (everyone who does that, I admire you) or even the struggles that are talked about publicly, show respect by not reading too far into them. there’s a time and place for that. but sometimes I feel like our only options are shitty and ableist gossip or totally ignoring the systemic and structural issues we know exist in something like the music industry until someone dies and then we’re looking for someone to blame. friends, there is a point where the respectful thing is to listen to what someone says and come together to make things better. and you can learn how to have that conversation respectfully. please do
#forever haunted by ‘I wasn’t always a cynic it’s just I’ve been bought and sold’#and actually this highlights my whole frustration with the conversation around mental health just about anywhere#like you tell people something sucks and they’re completely unwilling to even try to challenge the status quo in order to help#and idk. I tell myself they’re going to be fine. they’re so resilient. I’m doing all I can; I’m not on the ground there I’m at a distance#but at the same time is it not bittersweet sometimes to enjoy music born from trauma? to be at a live show knowing they shouldn’t be?#to me these stories have to be told for the reason that yes so people relate but also so we can do better for the next generation#anyway I’ve gotten deep into inxs lore lately and I can say. yes it is better for 5sos simply for the fact men can talk about emotions#but that didn’t come without a MASSIVE fight don’t you ever forget that. it’s gonna still carry shame. they’re choosing to fight that#but the sad songs we got as a result?? idk they’re the thing that turned me parasocial because there’s rarely absolutely nothing you can do#like if we’re ever gonna give them a gold star for talking about this stuff as early as sgfg til today we gotta ask ourselves to look at#larger systemic issues and stuff that we ARE a part of and while we can’t be there for them when they have a bad day. we can work on#anyway the high school example still haunts me. still drives some of what I do now. we were just kids. but most of us here aren’t anymore#and the newbrokenscene is grown up now and tbh the status quo should be TERRIFIED#so idk. at the very least sign the petition for liams law. advocate for better. address local issues of injustice and addiction etc#which in some ways I’m lucky that I get to do that in sydney so it feels connected but this is just as valuable anywhere#tbh the 2010s era of bubblegum pop and ignoring all our problems is over. you’re punk now. even katy released chained to the rhythm#thinking about the nfp I’m trying to start and how to start small. for disadvantaged kids maybe? intervening via urban design?#(don’t you ever forget 5sos WERE disadvantaged kids not even 20 years ago. that shit sticks to you no matter how much you achieve)#albums and activism#anyway it fascinates me to see how differently people do this kind of thing to each band member. like the vibe is different but still track#for this whole phenomenon like whether they’re seen as pretty or strong or cute or smth else that becomes the main thing not their words#and I say that but tumblr is pretty good overall. I just wish sometimes we could have a more active conversation before any tragedy#so gosh I’m ranting so much but PLEASE talk about this with me. I notice far too much and I can’t say any of it publicly#so occasionally I come out with a rant like this

Help a black nonbinary person and their lesbian roommate make rent this month?
Name's Ceza, and the end of July I've come down with what is more than likely occipital neuralgia. I can't be seen for treatment for it as the closest headache clinic covered by my insurance is booked until next year even for urgent cases, and I ended up missing two solid weeks of work and have been forced to take peppered days off since then due to sudden spikes of unbearable pain. As a result, I'm severely low on cash, with my last two paychecks being 1/3 of what i usually make.
I can't make my share of rent and car payment, which comes to a little under 1,000 dollars.
At this rate, I'm about to be forced to take a predatory payday loan once again in order to secure my home and transport. Please, any bit can help me avoid being in that company's hands for another two years. I just got freed from them this spring and I don't want to be stuck giving them every last shred of my income again.
Anything extra gained will be used to get food, as my roommate and I have been food insecure since May and we've been living on PBJ sandwiches and coupons on fast food apps.
Please reblog whether or not you can donate, and if you need an alternate way to pay, I also have venmo, cashapp, and zelle.
#help#donation#donate if you can#fundraising#rent#aid#i dont know what other tags to use to get this out there#please help#donate#spread the word#please boost

I guess the thing that bothers me about some of the posts on here berating people about voting for Biden is that some of the people they are berating are people who have literally lost dozens of family members to this genocide and they still don't seem to understand why telling those people "yeah, Biden is aiding a genocide but you better still vote for him because Trump would be worse!" is hurtful and patronizing, or why those people then get angry.
I'm not going to tell you not to vote for Biden, I do understand the reasons why it feels like the only option, but please for god's sake think about what the words you are saying look like to someone who has watched this man enthusiastically fund the murder and starvation of their people for the last five months.
#us politics#palestine#biden#i have like five different posts about this in my drafts but these are the gist of my thoughts right now#i understand that a lot of the attitudes coming out of those 'vote for biden please god' posts are due to fear#and i get it#the fear of what will happen if trump wins is real and justified#i am terrified too#but also i think if phrases like 'yeah he's aiding a genocide but' begin to fall from our lips so casually#we maybe need to take a step back and think about the words we're actually saying#and whether they are fucking helpful#also i need the 'vote blue no matter who' people to stop treating anyone who has decided they can't vote for biden like a fucking toddler#with no understanding of politics#i know we're all scared and angry#but talking down to someone is a really shitty way to get them on your side.

the murder mystery i'm reading has a character whom i can instantly clock as autistic. yay! i have no reason to think he'll be the murderer but i'll be very angry if he is
#melonposting#can i please have one sweet weirdo not turn out to be secretly evil? thanks#the character's name is bobby :) i love him very much#like he'd be in a room with people talking about the drama and he'd be so quiet the others forget he's there#then he'd suddenly point something out or make some other vaguely helpful statement and then everyone gets startled and stares at him#but he's shy so then he gets embarrassed that he caught everyone's attention#but everyone's like 'bobby's right!' because he is actually quite observant and smart#like he'll notice some random detail. or he'll be doing some magic trick in the corner trying to use it as an analogy for a murder method#one of his tricks involved sprinkling ash on a lump of sugar so it can be lit on fire -- the sugar can't be lit on fire otherwise#and the analogy there is that there might've been two poisons that when together make some effect (the body quickly rotting)#that otherwise would be impossible#the funny thing is that he clearly knows what the analogy is but he isn't very good at expressing it#he'll stumble over a few words and then someone else will be like ohh that's how the trick is relevant#cuz it's like the potential murder method#in most scenes he's either doing some weird trick or making tiny turtles out of raisins and nuts. completely in silence#clearly he's the type of autist who has 0 real social skills but is sweet & charming enough that people like him. but nobody really gets hi#he is admittedly a weirdo. what an odd man#annoyingly i misplaced the book this morning so i can't read more yet </3 augh

i've been writing a fic since last year (it's not long, i'm just a procastinator) but i stopped just before finishing it. suddenly everything about it seemed wrong and out of character, so much that i started questioning the nature of characters themselves. did i write them right? do i even know enough to have the right to write about them?
i still have no idea and i am stuck on this one moment in the narrative, as if writing the ending would seal its fate. but i will try to finish it - if not for the story's sake, then for my own.
#hey guys if you see this. if anyone would like to beta read for me please let me know#the fic im writing is for spg but even of you don't know anything about it it would be nice to have someone read over the stuff#english is not my first language so i am afraid of using phrases/words in wrong context or writing something in wrong format you know#if you are willing to help hit me up in askbox messages or comments here and we'll try to figure it out#sorry guys i don't know how to do it differently. how do people get someone to beta read for them fr 😭#writing#writing fanfic#ramblings

you know, this morning my agenda for the day was cleared. I thought up some errands to take care of tomorrow in one fell swoop, and then it turned out I was gonna get a buddy and the opportunity to take care of about half of it today which, baller, am i right? Plan is to get back out tomorrow at some point and take care of the rest of it and once my brain catches up that the hardest of the trips is out of the way, we'll be set lol
#Should i have done as much today as i ended up doing? probably not but like that's the case any time i leave the house#and like. this way at least i'm spreading the damage out over a couple of days#so there's time to heal up and reassess the situation come morning style#pretend my words are the correct ones in this case - i know they're the ones i want but you might not so just pretend until it's correct#i gotta use my two-ish weeks of mobility wisely and the best way to do that#is to use up all of my mobility as fast as possible right?#okay that's a joke i realized i said to pretend my words were the correct ones but like i should probably clarify#that it is inadvisable to use up all of your mobility all at once if you know that's a possibility#but also a bitch gotta get shit done SOMETIME so like#tomorrow should theoretically be a bunch of easy trips it's just also like 4-5 stops we might be making#so it's important to recognize i may need to pace myself lol#it is ASTOUNDING how much the compression socks help me tbh#like i know my limits pretty good - i don't always listen to them until they hard-stop me but like#i know them we've talked#and i hit my warning signs WAY late into the game tbh#i swear to god please brain realize we Did Several Things on the list please#a list we didn't even have for today to start with please recognize accomplishment brainnnnnnnn
