#so I guess it's long overdue

[reginrokkr]

As a small update of my previous post, I just found out that the battery is currently standing at 1% even though the charger is connected to the laptop, so it's little wonder that it turns off when there are spikes of battery use. That being said, I also found out that so long as I don't multitask with other programs at the same time as the browser the laptop is alive and well, at least for now. Crossing my fingers that it'll continue being that way until I'm able to bring it to have its battery replaced.

Oughhhh okay first of all, I am SO happy to see Bucktommy back on our screens and I WILL be mass reblogging things about them soon, fair warning! I took a bit after the ep to stop jumping up and down about how good it was, but then I came across the subject of this post and so first, to get it out of my system: a rant! It's not about the episode, probably not of any interest to most people, especially Bucktommy fans trying to protect their peace, so feel absolutely free to ignore this, I'll put it under a cut, I just have to get it out. I've been holding my tongue where bobs are concerned for the most part because I don't want to be mean/have a bunch of negativity on my blog/have any of them find and come after me like they're known to do, but idc rn.

So, there's this author I follow on insta, have followed for years, have read a few of her books and had the rest on my tbr. The ones I've read weren't mind-blowing or anything tbh, but for contemporary romances (not my usual genre) I had fun with them. What I really liked about her was that she is so outspoken about all of her books having bi characters: f/f and m/f. Bi4bi m/f, bi woman x straight man, bi woman x lesbian etc. I love to see bi rep and her efforts to make bi characters visible are great, I respected her for it and I found out last season, she's also a 911 fan! A Buck fan! Cool! She ships B*ddi3 but usually idc ship and let ship, I didn't think she was a Bucktommy hater.

That is, until tonight when I went on insta and saw her post. Bee cupcakes as the first pic, I went oh cute, for 911!! But then I scroll through the post and find this bingo card, the more I looked at it, the more I was like 😬 oh so she's a bob, huh? She only cares about Buck and his bisexuality if he's with E**ie? I didn't want to jump to conclusions, but then there's this in her stories (edits by me to highlight what I'm on about):

And I've blocked a LOT of blogs to try and avoid Tommy/Bucktommy hate so getting blindsided by this when I was in such a good mood enjoying our favorite guy's scene sucked. I literally felt sick about it for a while afterwards and I've decided to unfollow her and unhaul the books I own without reading more. It's not the first time I've stopped supporting an artist I was a fan of, granted this reasoning may seem dumb or petty to other people but I just can't get over it, I mean-

You're a romance author with 5 books published, I didn't think it was a stretch to assume you at least had some decent media literacy and appreciation for a good story/a sweet, queer, rom-com inspired ship. But you hate Tommy just because he's in the way of your ship? You champion bi characters, but will hate on the gay boyfriend of one who is breaking stereotypes and making people feel represented because you think his straight best friend would be a better match? Seriously?

And it's not only these two things, I looked her up on tw*tter, which I'm never usually on, but had logged into today to look at Lou's posts, and I found that she follows multiple people who I know to be particularly nasty Tommy haters/bobs. So. Yeah. I'm out of there, I just can't look at her the same anymore, not to be parasocial or whatever but she always seemed cool, I liked her, I wanted to support her work, I HAVE supported her work personally and as someone who works as a bookseller, I've pointed people to her books and sold them.

But now I just have a bad taste in my mouth. There has been SO much hate towards Tommy, Bucktommy, and worse, the real people who ship them, Lou, and even Oliver over the last few months, because it's constantly being stirred up by this kind of B*ddi3 shipper. I would feel sorry for them for how desperate and bitter they are if not for the fact that I simply cannot stand them anymore. They are miserable and determined to make Bucktommy shippers miserable, too.

I just don't get why people can't stay in their fandom lane and leave others alone?? Like, getting mad that Buck's ESTABLISHED BOYFRIEND and E**ie's FRIEND, WHO HE LIKES, was in one (1) scene, when it narratively made sense for him to be there to remind the ga of him, is pathetic. Tommy came to support E at the virtual birthday party of his estranged teenager, and make a heavy scene lighter and you're acting like he's some kind of monster. I can't even, I'm done!

I hope all the bestie boos will start to leave the fandom soon, when Tommy sticks around, because tbh they only care about one thing that's never going to happen and they don't even seem to have fun on their side of the "ship war". They're too busy being nasty all the time, can't talk about their ship without dragging ours down.

Anyway this rant is becoming more generalized than what I planned to say about that person and has already gotten sooo long, so I'm just going to post it to throw all my anger and frustration out there with it and then bury it with happy Bucktommy posts!! If any Bucktommy fan for some reason actually reads this 1. Oof. Sorry! 2. I 💙 you, Bucktommy fans are the best and I'm so glad to be in this fandom despite everything!!

I think my New Year’s resolution is that I’m going to start applying for new jobs.

I won’t be super intense as I have a job and I do not have the mental capacity to hunt like I did when I was unemployed (honestly didn’t even then) but like… I think especially since I didn’t get the one which would have been a small promotion here means it’s maybe time to move on eventually. I know it’s nothing personal but like. I’m not feeling great about it still honestly.

I may have to get a job that lets me do a bit less physical stuff eventually anyway, sadly. I wouldn’t mind doing this kind of thing forever sometimes but… it’s probably not practical? Maybe? I mean lbr here I’m not sure what my body will be like when I’m 50 or like 60 you know? I don’t want to break myself. And by that time would I be able to leave?

God I hate job hunting. Does anyone like it though?

Anyway that’s my resolution: not that I’ll definitely get a new job but that I’ll try and see what’s out there.

NOT telling my parents though because they have an intense need to help with this kind of thing and lmao Noooo. I appreciate it but like they expect me to do nothing else with my free time when they know and I’m not doing that to myself again.

feeling like im being driven to my execution (its a drs appointment)

my phone camera did *not* like capturing the color of the joy-cons but i did buy them for juniper-related reasons.

[bunnyb34r]

Seriously was giving heavy weight to the idea of quitting work and doing crafting full time yesterday bc I was dropped 5 new items (on top of the fucking 3 I just put out the day before) and none of what I have rn can be liquidated bc it has to be clearanced status not seasonal AND/OR under 40.

Everything under 40 is seasonal and everything clearanced has 90+ 😭

And I have 3 tables to fit this shit on when everyone else has like 8 (but they DID take 2 from womens theyve been saying they were gonna remove since MARCH and it's like congrats you fucked yourself bc we need that space for chirstmas season (September- February) when we get a gazillion items in (:

I'm gonna throw a fucking fit if they try to remove one of mine bc I do not have room PERIOD assholes

Anyway we keep getting bombarded with pallets bc for some reason we had 6 trucks arriving the same day?? And they're scrambling to unload the dock and it's all NEW items and we don't have anyone to stock bc no one wants to work 4am shift, we're not allowed (by corporate) to have a night shift, and second shift doesn't fucking do anything! So we're all just dying

And I'm only there 4 hours and youd be thinking well Mar, then you should only be responsible for half the work! IM NOT! IM SUPPOSED TO BE DOING 8 HOURS IN 4 AND EVERYONE'S 8 HOUR SHIFT IS THE WORK OF TWO PEOPLE SO IT'S 16 HOURS IN 4!

I seriously felt like that Pingu gif

Like I almost had a breakdown and I'm on vacation until tuesday and my coworkers don't do my area when I'm not there so it's gonna be 4 days of work in 4 hours when I get back and god do I wanna scream

Oh and the wifi at work is spotty as fucking hell and I mean spotty as in it only fucking works in specific SPOTS of the store and AUGGHHHHH

Anyway only reason I dont want to do crafting full time is bc taxes (:

[artificial-condition]

I’m selling my collection of Supernatural pop vinyls on eBay (don’t judge me I was a freshman in high school when I got them) and they are doing far better than I ever expected so guess who can afford the rest of the Murderbot Diaries!!!!!!!

The author of the les art history blog I reblogged some of the last few drawings from is yikes so just letting you guys know. Can't be bothered to find other post with the drawings but also just letting you know that I don't support that

[shatterthefragments]

Actually additional feeling from that Are You The Gay That Cooks Or Drives: despite following more or less the expected timeline of L->N->full license within like. A year of each available stage (though I didn’t take formal driving lessons so I didn’t get any time cut short)

I didn’t expect myself to ever be able to drive.

For several reasons. And now I’m basically a chauffeur for half the family. (I’ve decided I shan’t elaborate further)
