Good news of August 2024

[polutrope]

Feeling grateful for the communal creativity of fandom and transformative works today. I love how collaborative fic writing and fanart is, how we're inspired not just by the source text but by each other. How we build on each other, both consciously and unconsciously. How sharing ideas, being generous with ideas, is foundational to our creativity, in contrast to the individualistic and proprietary attitudes you so often encounter in other creative and intellectual domains.

No, we're not always perfect, and we're not always supportive (we're only human), but in my experience the positive interactions, whether they be conversations or silent currents of inspiration travelling between minds, far outnumber the negative ones.

Perpetually thinking about the time I was at Joann Fabrics and complimented an employee on their hair, which was half bright pink and half bright blue, and they said, "Thanks. I'm bigender, so it's like..." and gestured to their hair. And I replied, "Oh cool, I'm agender." And they nodded and said, "Between us, we have the statistically average number of genders."

I hope everyone who sees this is having a good day/night! And if not then I hope it gets better for you!!

Morning

A long list of positive things

Hubby's glucose levels have fallen significantly. We are all happy about that

After storing them for 6 months, the protein jellies and shakes have now been disposed of. Since nobody wants to take them in. It's a shame because they would be useful for anybody who needs to put weight on

Whilst hubby is at physio, I've been pottering around the house, waiting for delivery of my perfume. The one I debated about a couple of days ago

My favourite skechers sandals are almost kaput. I do have a different pair going spare but my feet are saying OH HELL NO when I put these ones on. So I guess its time for a replacement pair and donate those others to charity and throw out the old skechers sandals (I wear them until they're literally falling apart, thy are that good)

There's another Bun Bun on its way to join my little Bun Bun family. This one is a StrawBunny and this is probably the only way to get close to a strawberry, since I have a mild allergy to that fruit. I think I'll call it either Delilah or Alphonse

When trying to open the tin of gloss paint, I made a right mess of the lid, so it now has a hole in the top and doesn't close properly. Oh well

We have a home made goulash ready for dinner tonight and I finally made turnovers from the old leftover apples

And that's about it

May you all have a fabulous day

💫𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 2023💫

2023 has been a year to say the least so lets get into this 😂. As usual this is in no particular order cause I cant handle putting these into a proper order.

𝐓𝐨𝐩 5 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬:

1. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐂𝐚𝐟𝐞 (2022).

I watched this on a whim and boy am I glad I did. The female lead is so unhinged but in the best way and our main guy is so in love with her I cant. Literally this drama was such a fun time and everything connected together so well. Just watch this drama pls.

2. 𝐁𝐨 𝐑𝐚! 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐡 {𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞} (2023).

Yoo In Na shines and I love the character growth that both the leads go through, everything that happens makes sense and it really does show that working on yourself isnt a linear process. There will be set backs but you can over come them. I tend to not care for side couples but I loved all of them in this, they were just hilarious or adorable.

3. 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧 (2023).

I wasnt going to watch this drama but thankfully instagram reels made me interested enough to give this a chance. I love all 4 of the leads, they are my babies and they deserve all the happiness in the world.

4. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐅𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 (2023).

This was such a cute, fun drama. I didnt expect to love it as much as I did, the family dynamics, friendships, everything was so well done and the 2 couples were the cutest.

5. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 (2023).

Literally Instagram reels made me watch this and I do not regret it. The melodrama, romance, revenge, plot twists... Everything was such a wild ride, I recommend that everyone watches it.

𝐓𝐨𝐩 5 𝐍𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬:

1. 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 ~ 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧.

The irony, I always said that I wouldnt stan a group with more than 7 members 😂. Honestly I was just seeing too many funny reels about SVT and then I watched the Game Caterers videos without even knowing all of their names and Super was everywhere that I just fell into the rabbit hole that is Seventeen.

2. 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 ~ 𝐉𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐨.

My bias came and she ate. I love this song and it showed in my top 2023 songs its at number 6... The top 5 are all Taylor obviously.

3. 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 ~ 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐤𝐨𝐨𝐤.

He came and took over the world. Nothing more to say about that.

4. 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐦 ~ 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐧.

Yall need to stop sleeping on Enhas japanese discography. This song is just so sweet and wonderful. I cant with it.

5. 𝐔𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 ~ 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐦.

I just loved this whole song and the album too. Next LSF comeback when?!.

𝐓𝐨𝐩 5 𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬:

So last time I only had the vault tracks but Speak Now was the album that made me a swiftie so not limiting myself to just the vault tracks this time.

1. 𝐇𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝.

This is my absolute favourite song. It is just such a masterpiece and can be related to in any situation.

2. 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝.

I love this song so much, I have a one shot of the same name 😂.

3. 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐅𝐥𝐲.

Im a hopeless romantic okay.

4. 𝐈𝐬 𝐈𝐭 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐰.

Do I even need to explain myself with this.

5. 𝐒𝐥𝐮𝐭!.

Most definitely not what I was expecting but I love it so much.

5 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝:

1. Bestie got married, shes happy and Im happy for her. It was a proper desi wedding and it was good fun.

2. I FINALLY graduated from University😂. Only took me like 5 years, one failed attempt and repeating my third year.

3. Made some great friends from the school I worked at, we bonded over how messed up the school we worked at is.

4. Managed to travel and have such great experiences.

5. Im happy with the fanfics I wrote this year. Still shocked that people actually read and enjoy the stuff I write but Im immensely grateful for all the love and support I get.

sometimes you're just gonna have a bad day, and that's okay.

sometimes you're just gonna be annoyed and mad for no reason, and that's okay.

sometimes you're just gonna struggle to get out of bed, and that's okay.

Its okay to feel, its okay to have a bad day and its okay that you aren't at your absolute best all of the time. you're doing your best, and that's all that matters. you're trying, and that's all that matters. you got through the day, and that's all that matters. sometimes just getting through the day is hard sometimes, so that's a very big accomplishment and im very proud of you.

you will have bad days and bad emotions but they won't last forever, you'll be okay again, you will smile so hard and laugh until your stomach hurts. I promise. I promise you that will happen again.

From a red cross email I received. Just in case anyone else could use a 'good news' story for today. :)

[rum-and-shattered-dreams]

Ha. Funny thing about maintaining a native garden:

Some seeds are sticky. For me, it’s mostly twin flower which is a ground cover (grass alternative that is pollinator-friendly) with cute little bluish-purple flowers. Whenever I walk through the garden or tend to it, the seeds stick to me and they fall off as I walk around.

I’m literally leaving a trail of flowers behind me at this point…

[injuries-in-dust]

Good news for wildlife.

Also very tired, but seeing an Evening With Stephen Fry was such a cathartic, inspiring experience.

To hear someone talk about how passionate they were about 'flowery' language - that growing up, not being good at sport or traditional skills but in writing and ideas, being bullied for being the 'different' one. I teared up when he spoke about his documentary about bipolar and manic depression - about why people might resort to self harm as a coping strategy - to control something about themselves, the storm inside your head that can bring moments of such enlightened productivity - but have days where it all feels too much and you don't want to get out from under your blankets.

I feel seen, understood. Like washing away the bleakness of every failure of online communication and times where writing and roleplaying couldn't get up off the grown. To remember why I fell in love with reading and writing in the first place, that I was devouring higher level novels and spitting out fanfictions from ages 12-14. When it was okay that not everyone liked me or what I might create - it didn't matter as long as I was writing, because that's what I loved doing, as part of me as breathing was!

I feel amazing. I know I can do amazing things, both on my own and with people willing to be patient and understand the intense emotions that sometimes comes with a diagnosis of autism and adhd. As I learn about how to better manage emotional regulation and reactions, for better and worse that the times may be - this is something that will always be a very real part of me. Not all of me. But enough to acknowledge who I am, what fuels me, what burns the happy dreamer brightly - and what I won't let baggage me down.

I'm sensitive and emotional. I love words, language, the written words shaping in interesting and eloquent ways. To use these words to shape a story of characters so vivid that people can see pictures of it in their mind, hear the voices of these characters when they read my words.

My god, I will create passionately. Unabashedly. Unapologetically, except for the times I misstep or misunderstand, due to the way my brain works and understands things, to apologize when I do make mistakes, but to learn and grow stronger for them.

I forgot the beauty in why I did this. Let this long rambling post remind me to never be ashamed for the quiet dreamer of big heart and hearty laughs at silly meme humour, the misty eyes of feeling strong emotional understanding of fictional words and scenarios, the empathy to understand the real people behind the screen, but not to take on so much of another's emotional state that I overwhelm myself and act out.

Until one day, maybe I can be on a stage of my own, describing how my many experiences shaped me into where I am today.

my dog got new toys today from her bark box and she's beyond happy 😅 she got a squeaky mac n cheese dish and a turkey that she ripped open to find a rubber football inside, and now she's laying there chewing on them happy grumbling, using one as a pillow while she chews on the other

hard to be upset when you ask a puppy if she likes her toys and she looks at you in a way that she looks like she has a huge smile on her face

[elusivewildflower]

my honest reaction after reading the plots of Can't Fight this Feeling Anymore & the Colt x Reader x Court fic:

This literally made me laugh out loud and have happy tears in my eyes 😭😭😭 You don't understand how happy it makes me to be able to share the ideas that have been floating around in my brain and to know that you're already excited for them even though they haven't been written or finished. I've got a few drabble requests in my inbox still I need to finish, and then I'm gonna start making a plan for these WIPs to work on next!
