#plus this is kinda the last (active) blog I've got that hasn't had at least one do-over

.｡.:*☆ happy birthday encanto!!!!!!!!! ☆*:.｡.

(plus a small life update under the cut lol)

i still have roughly a half hour to express, much like everyone has, just how much of a positive impact this film has made on my life this last almost-year

fun fact, i watched this movie ENTIRELY BY CHANCE!!!!!!!!!! :'D i was actually finishing up a star wars marathon on d+, and was like "hm what should i watch next"

saw the colorful thumbnail for the movie, went "eh, sure, this looks cute" aaaaand the rest is history 😂 this was just before NYE last year, so it hasn't been quite the full year for me, but still

ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!! i wound up watching encanto just when i needed it; i was a rather depressed, felt stuck in a rut in life, and just... needed a change. i guess falling headlong down into this brainrot counts, since it led me back onto tumblr and into this lil community of completely wonderful and amazing people, quite a few who i now call close friends and even have plans to visit with in the coming year!!!!!!!! i could never, ever have predicted that watching a movie would put me on the path to wind up here with all of you, but i'm so, so grateful that it did Q w Q 💜💜💜

(seriously, i don't have a huge stake in "fate" or anything like that, but all the tiny, infantismal things that aligned just so that allowed me to be here is... astounding, too much so to be just random chance. not the least of which is that i actually had a previous version of this blog and scrapped it at first!!!!! if i had never done that and re-made it when i did, would i even still have met the same folks??? or what if i had never read Way Too Many fanfics and wanted to yell about them somewhere?????)

i derail a lot dkdkfjfs but!!!!!!!! it's hard to put into exact words how immensely grateful i am for encanto, its fandom, all the people in it, and the fact that it's been resurrecting some long-lost creative drive in me.

so thank you all for being you; for writing, for drawing, for admiring either or both, and just being all-around lovely folks 💜💜💜 i hope we continue to draw inspiration and positive change from our mutual obsession!!!!!!!!!!!

and even if we eventually move on from actively being in the fandom, i know many of us will be friends for a long time to come bc of this movie

and that is truly a gift 💜

and now for the boring life update part!!!!!!!! haha

hi hello i've missed you all 💕 i'm still around and kickin but boy the summer and fall has been... A Lot. i won't lie, a lot of personal things happening has taken a toll, and is kinda continuing to do so even now TwT

i would love to say i have a definite date of when tf i'll be active again on here, but i thought i would be by now, so 😂 maybe it's best just to wait and see instead of speculating and missing my own ideal dates

i'm slowly recovering tho, even if right now life seems to be a neverending series of "just gotta get through this next thing", getting through said thing, and then... finding Yet Another Thing waiting on the other side of it OTL aaaaa

BUT i at least wanted folks to know that i'm still here, still seeing your content and liking things and reading updates, even if i just... don't have the mental capacity to engage with it beyond that these days TwT; i've got no shouty caps in me atm lol, at least not consistently. but!!!!! i'm still thinking of you all, and i hope everyone is doing well as we go into the holiday season 💜

some positives at least!!!!! i am Somewhat more consistently medicated again, and i got a new (used) car!!!!! :D a 2012 jeep patriot, woo!!!!!!! i finally have a car that's only a decade old 😂😂😂

(seriously you shoulda seen how excited i got when i saw there was a USB and aux port. i can finally plug in my phone instead of listening to music out of my cupholder!!!!!!!!! 😂 or like. the single steam powered giraffe cd i had in my last car)

aaand that's about it for now ;u; thank you all again for being such a lovely part of my experience in this fandom, and i wish everyone the absolute best of times 💜💜💜

Update/Trip report 25ish

I have been... severely neglecting this blog. I'm sorry bruh I just now am starting to get out that weird ass funk I was in for the last weekish

My skin hasn't been getting any worse. I can't particularly tell if it's still yellower than it should be or if this is my normal tone but either way not tripping on it anymore. My eyes have nearly went back to their normal hue. The blood vessels in my eyes are a bit more visible but nothing too alarming

I am a lot less exhausted too. I went from sleeping in and lying around alllll day to my normal lazy routine. I don't do tooo much of anything anyway but I at least now have the energy to do other shit without passing out midway through

My acid reflux is weird to sum it up quick. I've been getting full a lot quicker than usual and me attempting to eat anymore than the little shit here and there I've been doing lately makes it hurt hurt.

Uh actually new symptom I've noticed is my heart hurting when I want dph. Well. Not like want.. need? Ig. Dunno. It's fairly new but my chest feels tight sometimes and I'll struggle to feel my heartbeat and I'd usually pop a few to get rid of it. Tho with me and R being otp a lot as of late I have had to be a lot more selective/careful with how much I take and when. I can play it off pretty well with damn near anyone else but my bsf can sniff it out at times. Plus, I'm a lot quieter in general when I'm high which is kinda problematic when I'm mostly otp to comfort/distract R. I wouldn't be all that useful for that if I'm preoccupied tryna play it cool

Me and R have been on the phone damn near everyday since her and her partner broke up. Well. Took a break? I dunno bruh to me I think not talking to your partner at all and actively ignoring them is a nonverbal breakup. Especially with all her health shit. I get the silent treatment and shit but letting that get bad enough where you aint checking in when she has life changing news flung on her is just blatantly showing you don't give a fuck which TO ME = breakup. I can understand a whole lotta disrespect but the moment you let it effect things to the point you're just.. not cooperating. Not bothering to make sure they're okay.. Completely stepping away from yall until you feel like allowing things to go back to how it was. That's a breakup. Plain and simple

Sorry slight tangent. I just.. it's unimaginable imo. I even bothered to do that much when I thought I was dying lmfao. I may've been slumped a good 75% of the time it ain't that hard to shoot a text and keep it moving. If im being real, I wasn't even gonna tell her I was fucked up but I knew it'd make her actually answer my damn texts. It feels.. slightly manipulative but I honestly don't even care I just needed to make sure she wasn't doing anything absurdly stupid.

Uh but yeh. Everyday damn near since as at first I'd be sleep so good I wouldn't notice she texted so she'd call me to make sure I wasn't like dead and shit. Then she'd keep me otp to ease her anxiety on that shit. Ya know. Like making sure if some shit did happen she'd immediately hear it. Then as I got back right I texted back more consistently and I figured we'd stop talking again but then she started doing entirely too much as far as getting high to not think and shit and she'd call cause she knew I knew what's normal and not you know? I'm sure it was partially so she wouldn't feel so lonely but I'm sure she only turned to me cause I wouldn't make too much of a fuss about her getting high. I mean like, course.. I'd prefer her not to do all that period but I know I really can't stop her completely rn. She's going through a lot rn and that's just how she deals with it. I know whether or not I press her on that she's taking em so I'd rather keep her from being too unsafe with it.

Now it's prolly just routine. And I can semi replace her partner as far as constantly being otp. I know she'd pick her over me if she could but for now I can at the very least fill the gap so she doesn't feel like her entire world is got snatched from under her. I know how it is to go from always having someone there to being completely alone (ish. we both have siblings and shit but course aint exactly the same) Shit is hard and it's so easy to spiral and feel like everything's wrong cause so much changes all at once. I feel gross and odd knowing that that's all I am. Shit is gonna be all gone soon as her partner comes back around. But honestly I'd rather just hold my tongue and deal with the reabandoning shit once it comes. No real reason to make her think about that rn she has enough on her plate as is

Actually otp rn lmao. Slightly salty off some shit she said about her partner and shit but.. is what it is tbh. I'm tryna stay quietish and type loudish so she will think I'm just not talking much cause I'm focused on this. I know if I talk rn my voice'll prolly give it away so I'm tryna chill out with this stuff.

Uh but. As for trip report 25. I took 150 last night and passed out not realizing it. Was not the plan at all but not too mad. I woke up forgetting I took it tho no real consequences from that. My heart kinda hurts tho so I might pop a few extra rq. Dunno.

I'm gonna stop that there tho.. I don't wanna be too quiet and have her figure it out that way lol. I think Ima semi tell about this blog but not fully fully as it'd be an EXTREMELY stupid decision on my end lmfao
