[altruistic-meme]

get to know me

you know the drill. answer the questions, tag the people!

i got tagged by @kevin-day-is-bi <3<3 hi dear!!!

characters I identify the most with: ohhh Neil Josten, Hinata Shoyo, Nakajima Atsushi, Victor Nikiforov... a little bit all over the place but i see myself in some part of all of them ig <3

music I feel the most myself when I play: mostly loud songs or bouncy beats <3 doesn't really matter the genre or wtv. some examples being: "Who Says you Can't Go Home" by Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles, "Small Talk" by Call Security, "Strangers" by Mt. Joy, "Hello LA" by The Young Wild, and "Oh No!!!" by grandson!

favourite weather: when it's that crisp sort of cold of fall! maybe a little windy but not so much that you're freezing in your layers.

if I had no limits (monetary, physical, educational, etc.) I would be doing this career: acting or really anything in film/tv i would love to do. behind the scenes work especially, maybe even costume design/work??? idk. i like the idea of working in the entertainment industry but ik the reality isnt great :/

a food I will always say yes to: macaroni and cheese. hands down. ok thats not quite true bc i do have Opinions on it but in general i will always accept mac n cheese.

hi! do you have any recent horror book recommendations you've enjoyed?

hiii!! i do! okay im gonna cheat a little right off the bat and give you one i read like over a year ago idk if that still counts as recent BUT:

devolution by max brooks is my favorite book i’ve read in the last year or so. it’s about a small wealthy community in remote mt. rainier that’s touted to be the most technologically advanced and automated community and a Vision of the Future buttttttt things don’t go according to plan and also there are bigfoots ❤️ i found the humor so smart and cutting esp in the age of ai bullshit and having elon musk shoved in our faces, plus the characters were all very unique and really unlike other protagonists i’ve read in horror. just a really solid book AND it made me even more scared of monkeys

i also just read bunny by mona awad and it was a crazy and wild ride let me just say that. again very distinct and unlike anything i’ve ever really read before in terms of the plot…i fear even going into the plot too much because i truly think it’s hard to discuss what happens in this book without giving away elements that are more fun to discover as you’re reading. definitely some body horror elements in this so if that’s not your thing i would maybe steer clear (also mentioned animal death which i did find upsetting but it’s not in graphic detail). that post i rb’d recently about the joy of reading books you don’t completely understand really applied to bunny for me because there are parts where the narrative becomes so…unreal and jumbled that it’s hard to always know what’s happening, but i did have fun with that!

ALSO an extremely recent read that i just finished last night is my best friend’s exorcism by grady hendrix, and at first i was very unsure if i’d like it but i ended up finishing it in two nights so. it held my attention for sure. it’s set in the 80s and there’s a bit tooooo many constant references for my taste (and i say this as a stranger things enjoyer…i wish i could write an essay about how imo stranger things does 80s nostalgia better than so many that try to emulate their version of it) and it’s about bestie abby and bestie gretchen who unfortunately experience the horrors of demon possession. i really enjoy narratives where all the adults are useless idiots and only the kids/teenagers are in tune to The Truth, which this book sells really well. i was also admittedly very charmed by a lot of the humor (the exorcist maybe my new fav character ever) and how it didn’t take Satanism too seriously and kinda hammed it up

One Minute Reflection – 28 September – “The Month of The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary and The Holy Cross” – St Wenceslaus (907-935) Duke of Bohemia, Martyr. – Wisdom 10:10-14, Matthew 10:34-42 – Scripture search here: https://www.drbo.org/ “And whosoever shall give to drink, to one of these little ones, a cup of cold water only … amen, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.” – Matthew 10:42 REFLECTION – “I was a stranger,” Christ says “and you took Me in” (Mt 25:35). And again, “Insofar as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did it to Me.” (Mt 25:40). In every believer and brother, though they be least of all, Christ comes to you! Open your house, take them in. “Whoever receives a prophet, shall receive a prophet’s reward.” … These are the qualities which ought to be in those who welcome strangers – readiness, cheerfulness, liberality. For strangers feel abashed and ashamed and, unless their host shows real joy, they feel slighted and go away and their being received, in this way, makes it worse, than not to have received them at all. Therefore, set aside a room in your house, to which Christ may come; say, “This is Christ’s room; this is set apart for Him.” Even if it is very simple, He will not disdain it. Christ goes about “naked and a stranger,” He needs shelter, do not hesitate to give it to Him. Do not be incompassionate, nor inhuman. You are earnest in worldly matters, do not be cold in spiritual matters … You have a place set apart for your chariot but none for Christ Who is wandering by?! Abraham received strangers in his own home (Gn 18); his wife took the place of a servant, the guests the place of masters. They did not know that they were receiving Christ that they were receiving Angels. If Abraham had known it, he would have lavished his whole substance. But we, who know we receive Christ, do not show as much zeal as he did, who thought he was receiving mere men! – St John Chrysostom (347-407) Bishop of Constantinople, Father and Doctor of the Church (Sermon 45 on the Acts of the Apostles),

tw: mentions of SA and suicide

Today as I am in a foul mood I find myself thinking about that time I posted a suicide note on here, years ago, and one of you literally scoured my tags to figure out where I lived. And what gave me away was a Snapchat I posted of me in a McDonald's uniform as my Halloween costume at my job at Burger King. And I had tagged the location in the photo.

So you call my job. And my manager calls me, very concerned. I think I didn't answer or I hung up maybe. This is years ago now, I don't really remember. I am at school. and she calls my mom and my mom calls the cops and i am taken out of school, strapped down in the mental illness burrito on a gurney in front of all of my classmates.

I am furious with you. The next time I try to hurt myself I don't tell anyone. But I fail. Then I willingly tell someone, and I am shipped off to the psych ward yet again.

In and out, cryptic posts, cries for help, help shoved down my throat. I am given multiple medicines. I gain weight, starve it off, quit the meds, start new meds. I do CBT, DBT, ACT, outpatient programs, inpatient stays, and eventually I am an adult and I graduate high school and I become an alcoholic.

I am smoking too much weed and drinking too much booze and I hate my body and my parents and my life. I drop out of college and my mom forces me to turn in my license. I am kicked out of the house two weeks later with no money and no transportation.

I go in and out of my parents lives, I do psychedelics. I appreciate life sometimes but I am still falling apart every couple months and find myself back in the hospital frequently. I wonder if it was worth it.

I wonder if your desperate search through my posts to find me help were worth it. The effort a stranger took to help a sad teenager get help. And the help was just locking me up for a week and telling me to touch grass, basically. An opportunity to cool down and make me reconsider taking my own life.

But then the life I chose to keep was shit. It is shit. It will probably forever be shit. And I resent you. I got raped. I got an abortion. got abused. I was homeless and harassed by cops and got addicted to drugs and toxic men and fucked up my body. I got my brain shocked because nothing else was working and I lived through a pandemic.

I wouldn't have had to do all that if you had let me die.

But then I remember I wouldn't have met my kitten. I wouldn't have gotten my first apartment, my first car. I wouldn't know the people I know now who I love. Who love me.

I wouldn't have gotten promoted at work. I wouldn't have made art, listened to songs that fill me with joy and sorrow, made music with my best friends. I wouldn't have visited Mt Washington and felt peace looking at her. I wouldn't have laughed as much or made others laugh with my shitty dad jokes.

I wouldn't have anything without you. I lost everything and gained everything because of you. And you were probably a kid too.

I hate you when I feel like I want to die. I love you when I feel grateful to be alive.

Thank you. Fuck you, but thank you.

fellow character playlist obsessors: which blorbo does your top song of the year correspond to?

[indigo-casson]

@megafaunatic tagged me so:

5 no skip albums!!

hard mode: no mountain goats albums bc every mountain goats album is a no skip album

1. Bronco by Orville Peck

As Lore said, I love Orville Peck's persona and performance as a character. All the outfits are amazing, and he has such a beautiful singing voice. Also his chest piece is truly a top surgery mood.

2. Sports by Modern Baseball

As far as my favorite albums go, this one is a sleeper cell. I always forget how hard it goes until I listen to an old playlist and remind myself.

3. Stick Season by Noah Kahan

Maybe it's the novelty since it just came out, but I listened to this enough between when it came out (October) and when Spotify wrapped came (December) out for almost the whole album to be on there.

4. Evermore by Taylor Swift

I am not a swiftie in the slightest but she really did go off w folklore and evermore. this is one of 2 CDs I had in my old car with no Bluetooth or aux capability.

5. Rearrange Us by Mt Joy

The 2020 SOUNDTRACK I'm telling you. Strangers was my absolute anthem when I went through a rough patch with one of my best friends.

and as a bonus: Perséides by Coeur de Pirate. I'm calling it a bonus bc it's instrumental and doesn't fit the theme I have going here but it's so beautiful and moving and you should go listen to it right now.

I'm tagging @chevalric , @serenity-the-firefly (even tho idk if you'll resonate w this), @thesuninperigee , and @dngrcpckwithmurdericing ! 💕

Red's Journal - 1/13/2023

I have neglected you again, my dear journal, for multiple weeks now. So I shall pick up where I left off: On December 28th, I went sledding. Perhaps sledding is not the first activity that comes to mind when one thinks "Mt. Silver," as the rocky terrain leaves much to be desired unless one loves danger, but there are a few trademark spots on the mountain that are just ripe for ripping through. I'll leave their locations to myself lest one find this journal and make a resort of them, but believe me when I say that there is much fun to be had on Mt. Silver should one know where to look.

The reason I went sledding a few weeks back was twofold. Firstly, the snowfall packed perfectly upon landing; it had that unparalleled texture of "light and fluffy" yet "consistent and solid." Secondly, the temperature spiked to 25 degrees Fahrenheit, which is unheard of for snowy weather. Upon reading this passage over again, I'm all too aware of how heavy with autism my prose has become... One of these days, my creative side will return to me, but until then I will merely document my life without regard for rhetorical rigor. That's the only way, after all, to truly "loosen up."

I also wish to document why I have been so attached to typing in recent days. I understand that writing by hand is better for both my memory and for my attachment to the activity of journaling itself. In spite of this knowledge, I have been typing my journal entry files in text documents and saving them to my "journal entry" folder on my PC. I have two reasons for this as well. Firstly, I am enjoying a recent addition to my PC setup, namely a refurbished model of an old keyboard reminiscent of the 90's PC from my childhood bedroom. Typing on it is such a joy that I refuse to pick up a pen in its stead. Secondly, I find it easier to find words in front of a computer screen at this time: Perhaps it is the warmth of the screen itself, its glow as inviting as a seasonal-affective sunlamp, that calls me to sit before it, but I highly doubt it. It is likely just the keyboard, hahaha.

What more shall I say? Maybe I should remark on the lateness of the hour, and what has prompted me to journal in the first place. Well, firstly, I would question why I need a reason to journal at all - as it is that precise trap that caused me to compulsively drop journaling for so many weeks on end. It is so much more important for me to remain consistent and present amongst my own thoughts than it is to request that they meet some arbitrary standard of quality. Yet I do, in fact, live a life worth journaling, so I shall not slight that either. It has been rather warm this month for reasons unknown - though we are no stranger to zero-degree evenings—so I have begun training again for the fun of it. Thoughts of performing before crowds have consumed me once more, and some of my Pokemon have picked up on the urgency of my recent methods. Blastoise once met my gritted teeth with a knowing nod, while Espeon comforted my ankles mid-practice upon sensing my adrenaline. Fantasies rack my body. In dreams I drown. And this dream—in which I am gilded and glittering beneath a spotlight all my own—is no exception. I will have to flesh out this fantasy further, though my bed is calling my name.

Or perhaps that is Pikachu, peering around the bedroom door frame, pondering my return to the sheets. I can hear a slight "piiii..." in the cadence of a static hum. Maybe I should meet him there, hmm? Good night, journal—or rather PC. I would love to see you again tomorrow, on schedule this time. Please wait for me in the meantime, as I have a meeting of all things—but rest assured I will be seeing you again soon.
