#tbh i might talk to the dm a bit so i can get a better understanding of the basics of the scenario

[waywardsalt]

chat how do we feel about me deciding that if the other dnd party members want a specific item my character has, they need to succeed a persuasion check with a somewhat high dc

[nalyra-dreaming]

Hello, please don't take it bad because, through the question maybe the tone can be a bit weird also I know you talked about it hundred of times.

But as a Loumand enjoyer and someone who take them for what they were,creepy,toxic, unbalanced but also beautiful because i like good chemistry and no one can deny their good chemistry right? Jacob and Assad were beautiful together.

What i don't understand is why,i keep seeing from most of the fandom the reasons they don't like them is because they were toxic/weird dynamic, aren't all the relationships in the VC romantic or not,toxic/weird?

I promise i didn't make a fanfic in my head,i knew from the start we were watching a divorce but they still had some on-screen good moments?

They will still be important for each other lives in the future right?

I feel like most of the vitriol i see for them (not from you) is because Loumand feels like a ''threat'' (I can't find a better word) to the existence of the two main pairings.

I don't think they were because of the dungeon scene is a proof they were never meant to be but still I'm sure some people felt threatened.There no other reason i can see.

In the future they will be other weird dynamic between other characters and i can see them receiving such a treatment.

Also I know some Loumand enjoyers are the reason we are seen as the annoying part of the fandom including myself.

All good :) (your tone is fine^^)

Tbh I haven’t seen much of what you refer to (I barely make it out of my inbox and DMs right now 🤪) but I think what you witness now is the backlash after almost two years of “Lestat is an abusive racist and we cannot wait to see Louis in a healthy, wholesome romance with a POC character and nothing of Lestat anymore“.

Like, don’t misunderstand me, I‘m not saying you did this. But this definitely happened. The show never promised Loumand to be wholesome, but since it was commented on as healthy and wholesome on the podcast many took that as fact. Pointing out book canon things were met with “anti accusations“ (even by some I would have never expected it from). Suggesting that the “tale“ might not be correct was taken as racist, and abuse apology bc the black man was “made to be a liar“. No matter the cast and writers and crew comments on this. (But I‘ve been over this in my rant, it’s linked in my bio if you want to read it, not rehashing it all now).

And that for over 1,5 years. There’s comments on my fics you wouldn’t believe. And no pointing out discrepancies, nor book canon facts made any dent into these accusations. It was always argued that the show is its own thing - and that is true - and yet they have now circled back MUCH closer to the book canon than I had actually anticipated.

So.

I get that it’s hard right now? I have said before that I see Loumand as totally valid - but for me it is mostly later on, when it’s on equal level. I think it is totally valid to enjoy them now, too, while being aware of the manipulative layers and the fucked-up dynamics:))

Ultimately… there’s not much for you to do except curate your dash. Go and block haters freely, leave those voices that you like or that disagree with you on a respectful level.

Especially for future (also rather toxic) pairings that WILL come up this will be MO. :) Fortunately tumblr has some practical tools there. ^^

Another announcement yet again

Two this week huh?! Probs not the best thing ever but yet here we are.

Tbh I don't think I have left too many things lying out unfinished I might delete one of my series and you know I was only one part in and not much attention either so no big deal.

I did post like a little peak of one but it's fine. That can wait or just never happen.

I have exams coming up soon and won't have any time to post anything but in fairness I feel like I'll be around here till the end of this month then I'll probably pull what I did from April to June but this time I'll probably be gone most of the time for possible 6 months maybe?!

I'll still be posting some fics if I have time. I'm about to close my requests because I won't have time. My exams are in January and then again in June and these go on my cert so this matters a lot to me.

Tbh some of my things don't even get acknowledged around here anymore so let me be honest this will be a small change to your blogging life.

I go back to sports in two weeks so then I'll be busy 24/7 and studying matters to me this year, a lot.

I've also been feeling really sick recently so this is not making anything better. I'm out of my hand brace and finger splints but still don't feel all nice and fuzzy.

Here's the real shit.

I have really bad anxiety. Like absolutely shit.

Over the period of my whole life I have ended up in hospital due to severe panic attacks and other issues.

It sucks how these things come back huh?

I was talking today with one of my friends Maria that last year was the worst year for me with my attacks but this year they seemed to calm down. In the month of September I would say I only had like 3.

I spoke about this to my doctor and she said maybe it's because I can do sports so I'm calm or maybe I found a better routine. Then why do I feel so shit on my day off?

I just had a conversation with a mutual and currently I'm legit on the edge like all this trauma and shit just flooded back and is sitting on my chest and yet I can't do shit about it.

Last year on the third of October someone passed away that was somewhat involved with me but that's nothing relevant to me or what I feel.

People on this very app ruined my experience at the end of last year and I was close to another attempt.

But right now out of September I only had 3 panic attacks that month I had 4 today and it's the first of fucking October.

Am I sobbing currently yes. I can't control it anymore. I don't want to have to keep on writing more as right now it doesn't please me.

My writing isn't so great in the first place. My first language was polish and I only started to get English properly by 8 so I see where my fics do not have the best range.

I really wanted to reach 1k followers by the end of this year but there's nothing to go off on anymore.

I will be online for a bit and I will be DM people I like to text but mostly don't be surprised if I don't answer too much. I'm not in a good space at all.

I'll probably be doing a bunch of rants on my blog and if you don't want to see it just don't read or just ignore.

I need the trauma to fucking go away but I'm shit at talking.

[angeledeggs]

Back to bothering u bc I have nothing better to do than consume ur amazing writing. A humble request for Valdemar + Valerius sharing a partner?

An absolutely wild idea tbh I just can't get it out of my head

Done and done! Thank you for the compliment :) it's always nice to see your ideas in my inbox!

Headcannons for Valdemar and Valerius sharing a partner:

They.. Don't quite get along. When they first started working together at the palace it was fine, but then Valerius got annoyed because Valdemar is always covered in blood and Valdemar is annoyed because Valerius certainly talks too much and this meeting could have been a letter that they will ignore and never open-- and now they kind of butt heads.

Valerius is much more... Polite in his own snarky way towards Valdemar, but Valdemar doesn't believe in manners, so they're much more comfortable saying rude things towards Valerius.

Valdemar and Valerius are both people that get jealous towards others that even look at their partner the wrong way, which actually helps them.. Bond?

Like, they'll see someone look at you and they'll both scoff in unison at it. Valdemar might soften a bit when they see Valerius chew out anyone who says a mean word towards you before they can. But they only soften just a bit. Or at least, that's what they tell themself.

They're also both rich and don't mind spoiling a partner. Though Valerius is a bit less... Extravagant when he spoils a partner compared to Valdemar? He buys expensive gifts because he feels like it and simply gives them to you, while Valdemar just stuffs wads of thick cash into your hand, insisting, oh there you go darling, get yourself something nice but then will keep stuffing money into your pockets, insisting, oh that's just in case, that's just for taxes, this is for food, this is just because I feel like it--

Valerius and Valdemar both also enjoy quote unquote, "rich people dates". Basically dates to the opera, theatre, wine tasting, all the fancy stuff like that is stuff they both enjoy and share a common interest of.

Surprisingly, they find that they're both able to be civil with each other when sharing a partner. They're both able to not get into a physical altercation like when they were both young, sooo.. Win-Win? (story for another time)

They might even be... Friends, in the end.

They at least work well with each other in the end once they become friends, if a night of beating a cat caller to a bloody pulp together is anything to go off of.

MIGHT BE TRIGGERING FOR SOME !

okay, so this is a way more detailed version of the paragraph i just wrote (i'm probably gonna get emotional, i apologize in advance). 2023 was one tough year itself. i don't think i'll mention some of the things that happened because it's too personal bug i'll "try my best" i guess. i hate how life treated me this year. i'm so for real, it has been so mean to me. it just kept punching me in my weak spots. and it punched hard. really hard. i honestly don't know how i survived 2023, i guess i stayed strong for my future even though it gives me bad anxiety. i didn't wanna be a "failed teenager", i didn't wanna see my mom cry, i didn't wanna give up. well, i did but i decided not to. it's pointless to give up. you're in pain so you think ending your life will help but it doesn't. your pain is just temporary. you have your whole life ahead of you. it gets better. i know it's easy to say but i used to not believe it either but i'm getting better. i've been in this insufferable pain since 2021 and trust me, it wasn't easy at all and it wasn't easy at all to get better either but it took me 2 years to start getting better. you just have to wait, i promise you gets better. trust the process, stay healthy and hydrated and everything will be fine. you guys text me if you need to talk or anything else. i promise you i'll always be here. you're never alone. ever. there's always people that care and will listen to what we you have to say. i care and will listen to you. don't ever invalidate your feelings, babies. ever, it's such a disgusting thing to do to yourself. you deserve to share your feelings with someone trusted, if not me then one of your friends. just talk to someone if you ever feel like you're not okay. you should suffer in silence just because you think you're gonna annoy the person you're talking to or because you think it doesn't matter. it does matter. you matter. don't ever forget that you are loved and cared for. you deserve to speak up and to tell your stories. mental health isn't something that should be joked about. if you aren't okay, reach out for help but please don't joke it out or anything. i used (and still do tbh) to joke about my traumas as a coping mechanism. it's stupid, yes. i'm aware but i genuinely don't know how to communicate. i'm working on it but it's hard as someone who barely opens up. well, looks like this turned out to be more of a mental health late session talk, i really hope you guys are okay and if you're not that you'll reach out for help. you know, i'm only a dm away. i'll always answer except if i'm sleeping but tumblr is the first app i open in the morning so i will see your messages if you send some. you can dm me or even do anons to share your stories with other people and me. it can be anonymous or not. it depends on you. anyway, it's starting to get late. i hope i helped even if it's just a little bit. i love you guys so much and you matter. 🩷

Hi Micha,

Re: your post about the two people gifting each other fics for the same pairing continuously - I suppose it's possible the time frame and number of fics might fit another set of fandom friends, but I have a suspicion I'm one half of that. A regular reader nudged this post my way, actually. If so, I'd just like to thank you very much for not naming the fandom, pairing or usernames! It's the kind of ship that leads to us getting harassment on a semi-regular basis anyway (hence the locked posting of fics), and we don't need more of that.

As for the true love thing - we started gifting each other in exchanges because we both realised we've been madly in love with the same character in that fandom since we were children. So FWIW, you're right about the true love, but in the wrong way. :D

Hello! (I saw you sent this last night? (Well where i live it was night) and i wanted to take some time to write a proper answer (although now it got super long sorry))

(Edit: You know what, im putting this under a read more, its not gonna be interesting to most people who aren't the anon anyway lmao)

Im happy to hear from you (and if you wanna chat off-anon feel free to dm me) and just judging from your message i also think you might be right! (Ive seen a handful of pairings mentioned in the notes who might fit but arent the one i talked about, ...i cant explain it but i have a feeling it might be you)

At first when i made the post i didnt expect it to get this big but when it did and some people started to ask or make guesses about the pairing i was curious if anyone would guess right (and really didnt believe it could happen tbh) but then it kept getting bigger and people took it as a challenge and i finally i decided i didnt want to say it anyway. Im glad your little corner of the internet stays calm and nice <3

I hope you dont mind the post, it really touched me to see your works and i just wanted to share that experience and make others feel a bit of this emotion too.

i was too shy to comment on the fics i read (sorry im working on getting better at it) but im hoping you'll read this answer so i want to use this opportunity to say some of my thoughts (I would have liked to send you some friendly anons to say this back then😅 but you didnt have tumblrs linked in your ao3 profiles) i enjoyed reading your stories a lot! I had some really stressful weeks when i came across the pairing tag and even though im not really in the fandom myself (besides enjoying what i knew of the source material years ago) i was happy to find it! it was such a nice little treasure, this collection of stories to read when i was feeling down and they cheered me up a lot! So yeah im sorry to hear you get harrassment for it but i for one am glad you post the fics despite that, because then i could find and appreciate them! (this all sounds very sappy but i mean it!)

Im happy that you two found each other! I gotta say 'true love' to me is just as much platonic as romantic (like, the relationship i have with my best friend isnt anything less than true love to me) but i also think its wonderful that you share that love for your character!

I hope you two are doing great, please tell your friend that i appreciate their work (and yours of course!) And i wish you that you can keep doing this for as long as it makes you happy!

[pffbts]

Well, it's one of those midnight where I stay awake, blinding my eyes with some contents of the phone that content me, comfort me. And I happened to stumble across your works, no scratch that, they aren't mere works anymore. Im not here to disturb you or distract you. I'm well aware of the goodbye that you bid to us. But...I don't know, I feel so connected with your words? Connected with the way you wrote? I know I'm blabbering, but I don't know, something in me said that I should definitely write this for you. I'm just thankful for whatever you left here for us, im thankful that I found you, your blog. Something about your whole blog is delicate, comforting, welcoming. And I happened to need that to fill my heart with some sort of reassurance even though I have this accompanied bittersweet feeling. I'm just truly, truly, grateful for the miracles you wrote. I was honestly crying, it made me feel better. I don't know how to evince this huge reverence I suddenly got over you.

But I'm just, thankful. So,so, thankful.

(this is a long reply, i'm extremely sorry)

“I don’t know how to evince this huge reverence I suddenly got over you.”

at 8 in the morning when you wake up, after the glaring indian sun hits your face and you read such words woven together into such a string of emotions, to be fair, what did i even expect to feel other than bittersweet happiness and a bit flabbergasted?

i wish there were words more meaningful than the boring ‘thank you(s)' because truly, you’ve left me speechless. all i can say is that my imperfect heart receives your praises and thoughts with all the warmth in the world and i hope even the lil bit of that warmth traverses through all the time zones that divide us against our wishes and gives you strength to carry on with your life, @tannedami.

regardless of my absence, i still want my blog to be one of the many corners for a breath of relief for all of you. this was once my escape, i'm grateful that the place i escaped to, a home i built amidst all my griefs became a shade under which you all take a breather from the glaring sun that represents each and every one of your lives.

it was the sole reason i left my blog untouched. i deleted not a single one of my letters or fics. i kept them all, even the unfinished and imperfect ones. my only hope was that in my farewell in every sense, a piece of me will always stay on the internet to give you all solace. in a world that flows parallel to yours, mine and all of the others, i hope my words move close to your home just to feel the air that surrounds you. in that world, my words carry all your griefs and your shortcomings like wearing rings that have all of your's names engraved on the insides.

[ID: “Even without knowing each other’s stories, we create moments of love that bridge the gap.”]

thank you for making me remembered as someone whom you pass by once in a while when you’re walking back home and that will always be enough.

this ask of yours reminded me a lot of some of those memorable asks from the past in this blog. an anon once wanted to write down the 2-part dad!hobi fic i wrote once as requested by them (tbh i found it a bit silly but at the same time quite endearing), another once sent me a dm about how they have screenshotted a letter they requested once during my talk to bangtan requests and now or then they would go back and read it for comfort. i also remember someone a year or two ago said how i almost saved their life during a low moment of their life and i still cannot for the life of me comprehend all these affections that i once and still now get from readers like you who take strolls through my little humble blog. you all should know that as much as you guys tell me how much i comfort you, these words from you all give me the strength to push the stubborn boulders that stand in my wretched life's road and keep walking on. life will keep happening and i will fight on as much as i can. i might always still wish i didn’t stay to see the new morning of the next day, but i want to keep myself going till there’s nothing left of me.

and, you and everyone must do the same. you have to. after all, there must be a reason why we were born into this damned world, right? even in passing, we must live a little in the minds of humans around us (and if you are lucky enough to have a pet, your existence is a miracle to them. trust me.)

i don’t know much about the reverence you talk about, Ami, perhaps it’s simply your emotions that has been catalyzed by my works. but really, i don’t feel myself to be deserving of any of it (this is my self-conscious, self-loathing persona talking, don’t mind her). i wish you a healthy life above anything. happiness will come and go but life will keep going on in various different shapes. we simply have to fit in. so be well because you will need a lot of strength for that, Ami.

sending all my love.

[vyuntspakhkite-l-darling]

Ragaggssgsgg guys!! Today I went to the Oddities and Curiosities expo and had an awesome time and I’ve decorated my desk with my haul >:D

Most of the bones are from a mystery bone bag so I don’t know what they are, and I know one of the paws is a mink but I don’t know that the other one is. More bone talk below and a picture of my desk!

For those of you that get freaked out by bones and the like here’s just the butterflies :3

The black one in the frame came already dried, and I just glued it into the frame. The other one I pinned! I’m waiting for it to dry so I can buy a frame to put it in. I’ve never pinned a bug before but it was super fun and I think I might try getting into it! And I’m not sure what species either is but if you think you know feel free to let me know :D

Okay onto bone and other specimen talk

So! The result of my day is 13 bones? Or chunks of bones that aren’t covered by skin. Not gonna count the teeth either.

There were 8 bones in the mystery bag and I also got 2 more that I don’t know exactly what they are. In the bone bag there was a skull that I’m not sure what animal it goes to, what looked like a rib bone, part of a jaw, maybe a scapula? Three vertebrae, all from different animals, I’m not sure what animals. And there’s another bone that I have no idea what it is tbh. I also have another smaller jaw bone I bought, and I’m not sure to what animal it goes but it’s some type of rodent it looks like. And I also got another small vertebra that I forgot what it goes to. I also bought a beaver tooth which looks crazy! How does that go in your mouth bro!!

I bought two skulls that I know that they are- one is a porcupine skull and the other is an otter skull— I didn’t put the otter skull in the picture. The otter skull is for my friend who loves otters <3

The last two things are got are wet specimens! You can’t see them well in the picture and they’re a bit gross so I don’t think I’ll post better pictures but if you’re interested DM me and I can send you pictures of them! The small one is a jar that has two small octopuses and the big one is a baby wild pig!

I had so much fun at the expo,,, and bonus,,, my desk smells like bones now! I love bone smell

Here’s a picture of my desk :3

[incipienttears]

About me

Heyya! I’m an 18 year old female and turning 19 this year. I am in EST time and enjoy roleplaying, making OCs, family bonding, caring for my snake, and listening to musicals such as Hamilton, Heathers, Phantom of the Opera, and Six. I’m mainly active on Discord and roleplay on Discord as well.

Post length

My post length is generally around three to five paragraphs, but seeing how others roleplay, I feel I do things differently. I have to admit I am fairly new to roleplaying, and so how I respond may not be the ‘right’ way to respond. If so, I appreciate any and all feedback you may have. I can't get better unless I know what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it.

Schedule

My schedule is a bit complex because I have schooling, therapy, and family bonding time that I attend to weekly. I can reply at least three to four times a week, so usually every other day. But please be patient and don't spam my DMs with messages of how I’m keeping you waiting. I promise it's not on purpose, I just have a life outside of writing and would appreciate respect for it.

Literacy expectations

My literacy expectations are at least two to three paragraphs minimum. I value quality over quantity, though, so keep that in mind. While I do prefer my partner’s grammar to be correct, I know some roleplayers don't have english as their first language, and in regards to that, I don't expect top-notch literary or grammar. But I dislike acronyms like “lol”, “tbh”, or etc. If we’re talking OOC, I absolutely don't mind it, but when roleplaying, I prefer the story being how you would read a book, if that makes more sense.

Genres/tropes

I enjoy mostly any genres, and some I haven't had the pleasure of writing just yet. Genres I’ve done so far are Fantasy, Crime, Romance, Drama, Slice of life, and Modern. I know there’s tons of other genres I haven't tried yet, and will be looking forward to doing should that be a preference for my partner. One thing I always ask for in a roleplay is for romance to be included. I have to admit I’m a sucker for it and might get bored if the whole story is purely platonic and there’s no relationship forming between characters. That is just a preference, if you do have a problem with smut then I might not be the partner for you. But I thank you for reading into this thus far

Pairing preferences

My pairing preferences are MxM, MxF, and FxF. With MxF, I usually play the female role.

That's some info about me and my roleplaying preferences! Feel free to reach out to me on Discord amaranthine.e

how do you get started to tumblr and writing? ps. i reallyyy love ur work <33

hi darling, tysm im glad you like my work, ty ty 🥹 !

tbh im no expert on starting on tumblr hehe. i started almost a year ago (aug ‘22) and tbh i started just bc i got an itch to write again and specifically for f1 and i knew the community existed so i just tried it out really !

ive been very lucky to have made mutuals w some really sweet people and tbh its all about reaching out and interacting ! i loved reading other ppls works and appreciating them (reblogs, tags, comments). its a perfect way to make connections. also i would say to not be shy and to reach out to the accounts you like (it helps if you wanna talk about a common interest, their posts, etc to ease into it) ! everybody ive talked to so far even if its in passing is so sweet. my dms are also always open if anybody wants to start a chat <3

as for writing ive been writing on and off since middle school, but ive always loved language and literature class. i would say a good way to start writing is to first read what you enjoy and the writers you enjoy. once you have kind of a grasp i would say to always just start giving it a go ! there are so many prompts available on tumblr as well as accounts giving writing tips. two accounts i can recommend are @corvase (for prompts and tips) or @novelbear (for prompts) !

for more technical-ish tips i sometimes search up words in the thesaurus, google way things are described, to get a better grasp as to what i want to say and how i want to say it. i also write differently depending on what i want to say/convey.

writing takes time and this includes your style, the way you express yourself, so don’t limit yourself (also your writing at first might not be the same as you envision it but its okay! you slowly get there).

sometimes, writing is also about patience, i have so many times taken countless of hours to write things to finally get it to where i want (and sometimes i dont get there at all).

at the end of the day writing should also be for your own enjoyment so take your time and write what makes you happy <3

idk if these tips are the best, but i do hope they help at least a bit, as always my dms are always open for a chat 🥹

[reject-dystopia]

The keeping the cat away from wildlife aka on a leash or inside mostly applies to places cats aren’t native to, specifically house cats aren’t native to. And very densely populated areas bc there the cat density is then also way above average and already a lot of pressure on the ecosystem as is, but if you live in a city there is a billion other reasons why you should keep your cat inside. However if you live in rural Europe go nuts, let them outside, it really doesn’t matter much. There was more cats outside in rural areas in Europe than there are now including the house cats and ecosystems need their predators to function, so it really depends on the place. However, if you’re not 100% certain that you live in an area sparsely populated enough so you can safely let your cat outside/ you’re not 100% sure if the average wild cat aka the direct relative and in some cases impossible to keep apart relative of the house cat, lives/lived naturally where you live, then please I beg you leave your cat inside. And leash train them, you gotta be really patient and it might take months if not years especially if your cat is a bit older, but it’s worth it! There is great Ressources online, also about how to harness- and leash train older cats. It’s worth it for vet trips alone tbh, let alone the adventures you will be able to go on! We are currently leash training our six year old cats and it’s slow but it’s working and I can’t wait to go hiking together. Just for the love of god don’t force it onto your cat, if they don’t accept it, take a step back and move slower. If you force it, it will never work without force and that’s animal abuse! Also you will need a cat carrier, many hav backpacks, to carry your feline friend in when they get tired, cats, just like most predators exept humans, are the opposite of endurance runners so carry them when it gets too long. Just for the love of god, PLEASE DONT get one of these backpacks that have a completely see through shell for the back. Yes it’s nice if your cat can look out, but cats have the instinct to hide and they’re completely exposed in these backpacks and already stressed enough when they start going outside and having a safe space to return to is imperative. So get one they can hide in if they want to and that won’t heat up as much as a plastic thingy that’s see through inevitably will. Leave the harness, leash and carrier/backpack out in the apartment to desensitise the cat to it, even before you ever try to put the harness on.

If you have any questions feel free to dm me, there is tons of ressources I can direct you to if you tell me what specifically you’re looking for.

And besides that, don’t give up hope for a better future, fight climate change, but also fight the root cause that not just caused it and profited and profits off of causing it, but also profits off of the consequences (like the new Dyson headphones and the air filter they have is a very on the nose example but there is literally thousands more) AND actively prevent any solutions being implemented and keep talking about needing “technologies to fix it” even tho they are actively preventing using the more than enough technologies that already exist that could fix it ten times over let alone developing more, bc it might threaten their profit. Even if the solution would be profitable right now, as long as right now something else is profitable too that they’re already using, they will prevent the climate solution from being implemented.

Fight the root cause. It’s called capitalism!

Fight the system!

The most revolutionary thing you can do is never let them take away your hope with their doom-ist propaganda, that’s just aimed at us giving up trying to change things so they can keep making profits off of our Labor destroying our planet while they don’t pay us even remotely enough and inflate prices artificially and then call it an economic crisis and economic laws when they literally are directly causing it and directly exploit people and planet all to have even more money even though right now they already have more they can spend.

Fight capitalism! Fight capitalists! Fight climate change!

Never give up hope, as long as there is one human left to fight, one bird left to sing, one tree left to grow, we haven’t lost! There is no having lost bc even if it gets really bad, we can always make it at least better!

In the words of my late mentor, who was the wisest person I have ever known:

Let’s be realistic, let’s try to do the impossible!

The more I research about conservation, the more I cannot STAND climate doomerism.

"Ough oof we're all gonna die, everything is going extinct, blaaaahhh"

Meanwhile there are so many efforts and projects that are like "Blease...volunteers...interested homeowners.......random individuals who care.....pleas..........literally begging........."

I don’t think so

Yes , maybe I am good person but I get tired to be that person

Maybe , I don’t think that , I’m not important and I don’t think I make a difference

Kinda just want to get over this thing called life , I kinda can’t do it anymore , nope , nothing happened , just my mind and demons that I can’t keep them behind a “door” and kinda I hope idk , something happens to me and my heart stop or something fall on me and kills me 😂

Why do you think it can't? <3

Like the previous anon said, the world is shit right now and people are so fucking shit too, so I can see why you get tired of being a good person, it is hard and it can be exhausting, people are unappreciative and rude, but I promise you it does make a difference!! Even if it doesn't seem like it.

You are important and you do make a difference, your friends and your family love you, you are important to them and you make a difference in their life. You make a difference in my life as well with your kindness, I love your kind asks, they make me smile every single time!

It can feel that way sometimes, tbh I feel that way sometimes too. Sometimes it's good to let it out and talk about it, keeping it locked still hurts, they always come out anyway. I know it seems scary or like it won't help but talking to a good, trusted friend can really help a bit! You can talk to me privately as well if you'd like, my DMs are open.

I know there's not much I can say or do to help, but please, please hang in there, just a little bit longer please.

I know it feels like awful shit right now, and me saying it won't always feel like that or that will feel better doesn't really help, but I do PROMISE you can get a little relief, I think even tomorrow (after you sleep) it might still feel like god awful shit but I think it will also feel a teeny weeny tiny bit more bearable.

And you're seen, I see you, I think about you and I notice your absence!

Im the main one who would get more into the roleplay sections of our dnd games, so me being the one with the high charisma stat i think helped our dm a lot so he didnt have to fight the rest of our party to get in character, haha, so i get what you mean!

FFXIV is really fun! Its an mmorpg where there is classes and races and stuff like dnd where stats you get from armor help you out, but if you just wanted to hang around the main cities and talk to people thats how some people play as well. The story is great too, maybe a bit slow in the beginning, but it definitely picks up later. Theres also this entire mini game area where every 20 minutes its a new mini game like parkour, running away from falling bamboo, etc. Idk what you play on, but if it’s console the controls might take some getting used to. I heard they are much better on pc though.

The bard class has special access to play instruments however you want so sometimes you will just be passing by a crowd in one of the main cities just gathering around this tiny man with a duck head on playing Megalovania on the flute. - ☄️ Anon

That makes sense! My first experience playing DnD was with my dad and his friends (aka a ton of people who were like 35+ years old) and I didn't know them (or the game) very well at the start so I never wanted to speak because I was incredibly nervous the entire time we were playing. I love the roleplay aspect of the game though! It's so fun when you can really get into character and sometimes people end up saying the most ridiculous things.

Ooh that sounds interesting! I'll have to look into in it, I don't usually play MMOs because other people stress me out (story of my life) but I might have to give it a try for the rpg aspect of it because that's my favorite type of game. And I'm a PC player! I'm so bad with console controllers because the fine movements are really hard for me (and the hand eye coordination tbh), I liked the more controlled movement of a keyboard and mouse for sure

That's such a fun mechanic, I love when games have that! And I love the chaos it causes

[phantom-does-a-thing]

do you have any current plans to continue/write a sequel to “Like a muzzled hound I'm tied and bound”?

I fucking love your writing and that one specifically has been living Rent Free for a while now HDKANDJKSK

especially like… even once they’re on the ship, they’re still not safe. hell, even if they leave whatever island they’re on there’s still the paranoia price will find them anyway— he did it once, after all. that, plus i imagine theres an immediate clash between what the crew, worried and trying to help, wants and what price has trained into chip. they ask him what happened but he’s not allowed to speak he can’t tell them he can’t speak—

idk I just. A combination of Further Whump Effects and the crews best attempts to help and all that yknow?? do they just Let him dissociate til he comes back down (even if it takes a long long time), do they try and get him to talk Now (maybe even accidentally pulling those same strings price installed doing so?) YKNOW!!!!!!

I’m just a little brainrot-y rn and I wanted to share HFKSNDJJS either way, I hope you have a great week!!!

Tbh, not any CURRENT plans like within the next month or so to continue onto this fic or add another chapter like I said I might. I am currently working on a pretty big project and am doing the jrwi big bang event which is also probably gonna take up a lot of my attention. So there’s no plans right now to add to it but possibly in the future if I remember that this fic exists (bc my main problem is I forget they do)

Ehe but I’m glad that you like it! This is definitely one of the fics I’m more proud of so I’m super glad that you like it so much. There was a lot of conversation that happened in DMs behind that fic that came up with the entire idea, I think I’ve had several conversations with two different people about Chip and price funny enough.

And you’re right, they aren’t safe even when they get away, and Chip would know that. Even if jay and Gill don’t know that, they can definitely get some hints just by the way Chip was acting that this dude is no good. Because Chip, as HARD as he tried to be casual and subtle about it, was very obvious about it. Jay noticed something was wrong the second that price told him to shut up and Chip clammed up like he’s never known how to speak.

I think that as soon as Chip gets to the ship, he immediately, if not with a bit of delay, breaks down, which would subsequently make things worse (he’s not allowed to cry). He would isolate himself from the crew as much as he could, maybe hiding in the storage room or somewhere that no one would find him. He wouldn’t speak to them because he’s not allowed to and I think this would go on a few days maybe. I do think jay and gill, in an attempt to help him, would accidentally play into the things Price taught him and end up making it worse (they don’t notice it’s worse) before it gets better.

There’s a ton of stuff I could write after they get back to the ship, I just don’t have a ton of time to work on that right now when I got some big projects going on. But thank you for the ask! I’m super glad you like the fic and it made my morning to see all your thoughts.

Feel free to shoot another ask if there’s anything else you wanted to mention, I’m always open to talk! You have a great week as well.

henlo yza beloved <33

oh my god <//3 love the way you put it honestly, the way you're so smart <3 the answer was right there and i managed to miss it 😭 i was lichrally like " ok so river dried up no thoughts head empty " and now it's as if the last missing puzzle piece finally fit itself in my mind jdjsksks that really explains whys and hows of haku ending up there, btw the importance of names and home in this movie was so heartwarming 🥺

also that's so sad to think about though, haku not having any place outside of the spirit world also means he might never get to meet chihiro 😭😭😭 ( unless he found a little something like home in chihiro ( yk home being a person instead of some house ) then idk he can become a water body anywhere she lives, if or when he decides on meeting her. like you know there is someone out there calling out his name or missing him which gives acknowledgement to his existence thus making a tiny place available somewhere where he is wanted even if as just a visiting guest) ok but honestly i'm also kind of okay with them never meeting hddjdj like even though it's sad there's still some kind of comfort in knowing the fact that some people only come into your life to help you grow in good way!/ intentionally or unintentionally helping e/o through tough times and then moving on )

also honestly same 😭😭😭🥺 i feel like we've been talking since ages, thank YOU for even taking out time to listen and reply to my nonsense fr, i'm so glad i sent that ask to tell you, your " im skydiving with vernon " tag was funny 😭🥺 i really enjoy talking to you

SPEAKING OF VERN how excited are you for his mixtape? would love to hear your thoughts!, i feel like he's gonna come out with some emo rock/grunge banger tbh, basing on the artwork and his love for avril lavigne songs hdjdjdkd whatever it is i know i'm gonna eat it up bc i live for his verses in hhu songs

hope you're doing well yza 🤍, and you too after 21st take some time out for yourself and recharge, you deserve it <333 love you 🥺 thank you for hanging out with me as always, bestie <333

(honestly had nothing extra to add 😭 dec is kicking me fr. days are just going by i have had no idea about which day it is this whole month 💀 also i haven't forgotten about the movie i'm gonna dm you details after i send this, feel free to check after 21st! )

MA CHERIEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😻😻😻😻

NAURRRRRRRRRRR i am not smart i'm just one for obsessing over details fjkfjdkfjdk AND I KNOW </3 it was such a good concept esp considering how our identities are so tied up with the names given to us by birth and the names with which we choose to present ourselves with!! AND UR MIND HELLO???????????? also agreed <33 i'm fine w the bittersweet ending (i… love them actually 😭)

ALSO PLS NOOOOOOOO i should be the one thanking u fr </3 lich rally where would i be without ur lil ask </3

AND URE SO REAL FOR THIS PLS FKJDFJFDJKFDJK i also find myself gravitating towards his verses we r besties fr 😋 and u r right once again omg it gave early 2000s <3 WHAT DO U FEEL ABT IT!!! i personally like the band ver more, it feels a lot more raw!! think the way mainstream kr companies (honestly cant be said for the indie ones theyre going IN on it there) produce rock music is so… tame for lack of better word, but the band ver ate fr tbh <33 IM KINDA SAD SOME OF THE SCENES OF HIM IN THE BLACK TANK TOP DIDNT SHOW UP ON THE MV THOUGH </3333333 HE LOOKED SO GOOD

i've been getting to rest a bit until i received an e-mail from one of my professors today 😭 now it's a sign for me to get back to work, i still have more finals and more deadlines for january, but after that i'd be FINALLY getting a real break 😋

AND NO PLS FDKJDFJ I FEEL U!! i hope ure getting to rest as well and that you've had a great time this holiday season <33 love u thank u for always being here 🥰 MWAH
