*Christmas Morning*
"You all good baby?" Damian asked me as he stood in front of me. I was in my spot on the couch, watching as our children were tearing into their gifts that we got them.
Sebastian and Adan were helping Elena and Benito open their bigger gifts that they received from other family members who could not make it to our place later.
"I am fine Damian." I told him, hoping my voice didn't change as I looked up at him.
"I will go start on breakfast. The family will be here in a couple of hours." Damian told me as he leaned down and kissed the top of my head.
I closed my eyes savouring the moment, because I know once I tell him that I am in labour, he is not going to be happy with me.
◆
We ate a delicious breakfast of mallorcas, which is a special treat we have a few times a year, we got dressed for the day. The last time we had them was the day I told Damian I was pregnant with baby number 5.
I was sitting back in my usual seat, per the order of my husband.
I was watching Elena play with Stitch toy that moves, when I heard our two oldest start to complain.
"Oh Dad, that is disgusting." Adan said.
"Yeah, come on. There are kids here." Sebastian said, adding on to his brother's complaints.
I looked over and saw what my dear husband was wearing and I let out a loud laugh at what he was wearing.
I get why the boys are upset, but it is just a funny sweater.
"Well, I happen to love the sweater." I said, watching as our sons turned to look at me, with even more disgust on their young faces, but all Damian did was laugh and wink at me.
I went to smile back at him, but a contraction decided to hit right then and there, making me scrunch up my face in pain.
"Mommy, are you okay?" Elena asked me as she showed Benito her new toy, making him grab for it.
"I am fine." I told them, as I breathed through my nose trying not to draw attention to myself.
Without missing a beat, Damian strolled over to me, kneeling down in front of me, and placing his hand on my very pregnant belly.
"When were the first contractions?" He softly asked me.
"Around twoish this morning." I finally told him, making him just sigh at me.
"And how far apart are the contractions?" I told him every ten minutes, so we still had time, but I closed my mouth mid sentence when another contraction hit.
Fuck. This baby is now coming.
Damian was already on the phone, calling for an ambulance as.
I heard him swear and then say sorry to the dispatcher on the phone.
"What is going on?" I called out.
"No available ambulances." Damian told me, as my eyes squeezed shut as a new contraction hit.
"Adan, Sebastian, take your brother and sister to the play room." Damian said, as he rolled up his sleeves to that ridiculous sweater.
"Damian, what are you doing?" I asked him as he was running around the house.
"Just stay right there. Sebastian if you can, move your mother's feet up to the lower part of couch."
Sebastian did as he asked, and I knew what was going on.
I was about to give birth at home.
◆
I found my self laying a top a shower curtain that was ripped down from the guest washroom, towels and blankets all around me.
I could hear the loud music from the playroom as I let out another scream.
Damian was between my spread legs, the dispatcher was still on the phone with him, telling him what to do.
"Get this baby out of me." I cried out, feeling tired.
This has been my fastest birth so far, but I am still feeling tired.
"We are almost done love. Just a few more pushes." Damian said, his voice not once wavering.
I pushed again and again, until it finally happened.
Their cries were loud, making me laugh with relief.
"It's a girl." Damian said as he wrapped her in a towel, and gently placing a blanket over me after he laid her on my chest.
I started to cry when she was in my arms, so happy that she was here safe.
Damian washed his hands before grabbing his phone to let the dispatcher know what was going on.
"Okay. We will wait for them. Yes the front door is open, as is the gate. Thank you." He said before hanging up the phone.
"You did it." I said to myself husband, a watery smile on my face.
"You did it my love." Damian told me as he cleaned up as much of the mess as you could.
The paramedics came rushing in a few minutes later, going over our babygirl and I.
"I will grab the kids and meet you at the hospital. I called our parents and they are telling everyone." Damian said as he kissed me as he walked us out to the ambulance.
◆
We were looked over quickly, and the both of us seemed to be in good health. She is already nursing and just finished as my family walked into my room.
I placed the newest addition to our family in the little bassinet next to my bed.
"You four want to meet your little sister?" Damian asked them, with a proud smile on his face.
"A sister? Santa did give me what I wanted." Elena squealed making Damian and I chuckle.
"What is her name?" Adan asked us.
"Natalie Mia Carina Priest." I said to them as they gathered around her.
Damian stood on the opposite side, gently grabbing my hand as we watched our children meet their baby sister.
"Thank you for giving me the best Christmas gift possible." Damian said as I looked up at him.
He cupped my face and gently kissed me.
"And thank you for everything my sweet husband. Merry Christmas." I muttered against his lips, just before we turned to look at our five beautiful children.
Yes, it is most definitely a Merry Christmas.

Damian Priest x f/Reader
Just like all my other stories, this has not been proofread, but please enjoy.
Warnings: unprotected sex. P in v sex. Oral (f receiving). So much fluff.
WC: 2892
Gifs and photos do not belong to me: title photo is from @lorena26 . The other photo was from Damian's Instagram.
©️ magicalbuttertarts 2024: do not repost or translate my work. This is the only place I post my work.
F/Reader looks back at how her and her husband Damian got together. She was a sorority girl, and he was the hot nerd that couldn't keep a relationship.
I rolled over, slowly placing my hand on his side of the the bed, but I felt just a cold pillow. I opened one eye to see that I was alone, and I instantly knew where he would be.
It also helped that I heard the laughter of second youngest laughing at her father, bringing a tired smile to my face.
I got up and stretched, putting on one of his old star wars tshirts and a pair of his boxers that I have taken for myself, and walked down the hallway towards the sound of kids play room.
I could see him sitting at the sparkly yellow table, with a tiara on his head, a green feather boa over his shoulders, and his glasses on his face as he clicked tea cups with Elena, and then with our youngest, Benito, who was happily clapping his hands in his father's lap, swinging the plastic teacup around, almost hitting my husband in the face.
I smiled as I watched this moment happen between the three of them.
I decided to leave them there and to start on breakfast.
But as I got to the kitchen, I could smell that he already had something in the oven, and my mouth instantly watered as I could smell the Pan de Mallorca baking in the oven.
I decided to leave it alone, already knowing he has a timer on his phone ready to check on it.
I walked towards our family room, enjoying the peace and quiet until the rest of our children woke up.
Knowing our two oldest, they would be in bed until I go and wake them up.
It wasn't very often I get mornings like this, as Damian is away from home most week days.
He built up his own IT Cybersecurity firm, and he has truly worked hard all these years building up his company.
He is proud of it and says that it is one of his greatest accomplishments, but when asked what is greatest accomplishment is, he always says his family.
As I sat in our family room, I looked at all the photos of us throughout the years.
We have photos upon photos on the wall, and they are all wonderful memories, but then my eyes caught the one in the center of it all.
The very first photo Damian and I ever took together.
I couldn't help but think back all those years ago, and how we got together.
It was my last year of university and I was focused on partying along with my sorority sisters.
I was a Legacy, my mother before me was in the same sorority, as was her sisters and my grandmother.
When I first got to University, I didn't want to belong to any sorority, but when I got accepted to the same university as my family members, I knew I would be sought after.
At first I said no, that I didn't want to be apart of it, wanting to be my own person, but then there was problem with the dorms, and I didn't have a place to stay on campus.
So I said yes, and now I am almost done school, having the best time with my sorority sisters.
My GPA is decent, 3.7 so the partying has never gotten in the way of that.
I dated throughout school, but none never seemed to stick. They were basically jocks whose whole life revolved around whatever sport they played and partying.
So for the first time in a long time, I am single, and I promised myself that I was going to be single for my last year and try to focus on school and my friends.
But then Quantum mechanics that last year was kicking my ass.
◆
"You will be assigned a tutor." My Professor said to me, and all I could was agree.
"Who is it?" I asked her.
"Damian Priest."
I have never talked to the guy, but he seemed nice.
I knew he dated a few of my sorority sisters but he never seemed to last long in a relationship.
From what I been told, he is to nerdy.
His room his filled with action figures, movie posters, old text books, and I have only ever seen his nose buried in a book.
But even I can admit, he is freaking good looking.
◆
"Now, I want you to answer a few of these practice questions to see what we are working with." Damian said to me as he handed me the practice test, but it was hard to focus with him sitting across from me.
This is the first time I have gotten a good look at him, and I can see why so many people thought he was good looking.
He probably is the most gorgeous guy on campus and he doesn't even seem to care.
I shook my head and started to work on the practice test.
◆
I was biting my bottom lip as he looked over the test.
"Hmm." Was all he said.
"Did I do okay?" I nervously asked.
He placed the test on the table. "You got just about half right. The ones you got wrong, I will go over how to get the correct answer."
Damian got up from the opposite side of the table, and sat down in the seat next to me, and the smell of his cologne hit my nose, and shit, he smells good.
This is going to be longest day of my life.
◆
One hour of Damian trying to teach me how to get the correct answer, but I was no better off.
"Let's call it a night. I know it was a lot for the first session." He stretched and his shirt lifted and I got a good look at his abs and the bit of the hair disappearing under into his jeans.
I shifted in my seat and to my utter embarrassment, I could feel how soaked my panties were.
That night, once I got to my room, I pulled out my favourite vibrating dildo and came so hard to the thought of Damian.
◆
This went on for weeks.
I would have my tutoring session with him, come home and cum on my favourite toy.
Then one night, it all changed.
It was our turn to throw a party, and it was Halloween.
Damian, the ever kind man, understood why I couldn't make it this week to our tutoring session.
"But next week, let's meet twice." I squealed when he said that, and kissed his cheek.
I pretended not to notice how his cheeks seem to heat up, as he covered his cheek.
"Come to the party." I told him, hoping he would come.
"I don't know." He looked a bit uncomfortable.
"Even for 10 minutes. Come and find me and I won't leave your side."
"I will think on it." He still looked unsure.
"Thank you." I said softly to him.
◆
As the party went on, I kept an eye out for Damian, not knowing if he would be coming or not.
I danced with random guys, but none of them seemed to hold my attention.
The one I just left was just showing me his bicep and I had to hold in my eyeroll.
I turned around after excusing myself from this one-sided conversation, and walked right into a hard chest, their arms wrapped around my waist to keep me from falling backwards.
I looked up, ready to apologise to the person, when I noticed who it was.
"Damian, you came." I exclaimed.
"I figured what was the harm of ten minutes." He joked and smiled back at him.
"I see you and I had a similar idea." I told him, as I looked at the jersey he was wearing.
"Yes, but I guess you dressed like Dottie from A League of Their Own."
Finally someone who knew where this costume was from.
The song changed, and it was a bit slower than what has been playing most the night.
Damian still had his arms wrapped around my waist.
"You wanna dance?" Damian asked.
"Sure."
Let's just say he didn't leave early as we spent the rest of the night together, until he decided to leave.
I wanted to invite him up to my room, but he kissed my cheek and told me he would see me for our next tutoring session.
◆
I was helping to clean up with the other girls, when my best friend spoke up. "I saw you with Damian last night." I looked over at her, and I noticed she and a few girls were staring at me, hard.
"Yeah, he is a good guy, and he is very good looking."
They muttered in agreement.
"But you know he is a nerd right?" Our sorority president spoke up. I looked over at her, nodding my head yes, knowing he is considered a nerd.
"I dated him for a bit, and things were going smoothly until I went to his room." Another girl said.
"Yes I heard about his nerdy stuff."
"No, you don't understand. He likes going to comic con. He is obsessed with wrestling and even has Star Wars blankets and sheets." Another girl spoke up.
I couldn't help but find that adorable that Damian was bring true to himself, and not letting anyone tell him what he should and shouldn't like.
"We just danced and talked." I wanted this conversation to end.
"Just keep it that way." The sorioty president said, then we went back cleaning up, their words replaying over and over again in my mind.
◆
I cancelled on our next tutoring session, pretending to be sick, and even didn't go to class.
Damian didn't question me, just asked me to get in contact him when I am feeling better.
I didn't respond, but a few hours later, as I was walking to the kitchen, there was a knock on the front door.
I opened up, putting on the sick act and there was a delivery driver there. He said my name and I said that was me.
"Then this is for you." He handed me the paper bag and I saw that it was from the Soup Emporium.
"I didn't order this." I said to him, clearly confused.
"A man by the name of Damian paid for it."
A lump was forming in the back of my throat as I told the driver thank you.
I ate the soup, savouring how delicious it tasted.
◆
I found myself at the entrance to his dorm room that night.
I knew he lived alone, and I knew he was there because his favourite show was on, and it was almost over.
He opened the door, and said my name once I was there.
He went to open his mouth to speak even more, but I grabbed his collar and pulled him in for a kiss, smashing my lips against his.
At first his lips didn't move, and I started to panic thinking I read this all wrong, until he pulled me flush against his body, and kissed me back with as much enthusiasm as me.
"I thought you were sick?" He questioned against my lips.
"Just needed a day." Was all I told him as he pulled me into his room, slamming the door behind me.
I was stuck between him and the door, but I didn't care.
Not when he pushed his hips against me and I could feel how hard and large he was.
"I need you Damian." I whined as he started to kiss way down my neck.
"I need you to, baby." He pulled back, looking me in the eyes.
◆
My hand was covering my mouth as Damian gripped my hips as he fucked me from behind. He was stretching me beyond I have ever been stretched.
I couldn't think about anything but how much I have cum already.
Earlier, Damian had me laying against his Yoda pillows, him between my thighs as he had his strong arm over my stomach, holding me down as he made me cum over and over again with his mouth and fingers.
My one hand was tangled in his hair, grinding my pussy against his face, as my other hand was gripping his Millennium Falcon sheets.
Damian didn't stop until I literally pushed his head away, telling him it was all too much.
He lifted hid face, his mouth and chin soaked with my juices, "I am not done with you." I literally whimpered as he got off the bed and pulled me along with him.
"Feel so good." He grunted from behind, as he slapped my ass, making me cry out his name.
I was so close. My whole body felt like it was on fire as I was close to finishing.
"Come on baby. I can feel you. Cum for me. Come on." He groaned behind me, speeding up his pace making me cry out his name for the final time.
He let out a string of curses as I came around his cock, my pussy fluttering around his cock as I moaned his name like a prayer.
Damian's thrusts became erratic before he pulled out, his hand quickly jerking himself off before he came all over my ass and my back.
I collapsed on his bed, not being able to be on all fours any longer.
He joined me, laying on his side after he cleaned us both up. Damian moved my hair from my face.
"Damian, I like you." I said, not even realising I said anything, which made him chuckle.
"I hope so, because I like you too."
The two of us falling asleep in his bed, but we woke up the next morning, and had our first date, which was a breakfast date.
◆
My sorority sisters weren't happy about him and I being together, but I didn't care.
They started to come around to us being together when he helped the others with their classes.
Two weeks later him and I told each other we loved one another.
Damian was complete opposite and he completed me. He was nerdy, yes, but he was kind, and sweet, and treated me amazing.
I passed my Quantum mechanics class, and my GPA even went up to 3.8, which is what I graduated with.
Damian proposed to me just after we graduated, and we didn't wait to get married.
Our wedding was a mix of traditional like what I wanted and what he wanted.
Our cake topper was us coming out of the Tardis. The flowers weren't even real flowers, they were flowers made out of comic books.
It was the perfect mixture of him and I.
My thoughts were pulled back to the present when I heard the giggly voice of Elena calling for me.
"Say good morning to mommy, Benito." Damian said as he handed me a plate with a piece of Pan de Mallorca.
"Good morning my loves." I told my two youngest, as Damian leaned down and gave me a kiss goodmorning.
"Good morning Mommy." Elena said, as Benito squealed happily in his father's arms.
"Sebastian and Adan still sleeping?" I asked Damian, who nodded his head.
"I will be waking them up soon. They have to get ready for camp." I agreed with him.
"Let's just let then sleep a bit longer. A few more minutes won't hurt them. They are packed already and the bus won't be here until noon."
◆
Sebastian and Adan are on their way to camp, the two of them barely acknowledging their father and I as they rushed past us, out the front door.
Elena and Benito are with Damian's parents.
"We are alone for the day." I said to him as I snuggled into his side.
"Mmmm, the last time we were alone like this was a couple of months ago. Remember?" Damian said as he turned his head to look at me.
"How could I forget. It was the two of us, there was a storm and we lost power. The only light we had was candles."
He pulled me into his lap, and I could feel how hard he was beneath me, making the two of us moan.
"Remember what we did to pass the time?" I asked him, as I leaned forward and nipped his neck, making him shudder.
"Yes, oh lord yes baby." Was all he said as he flipped us around, pinning me against the couch cushions.
"Damian, I have to tell you something." I gasped as he knelt down between my thighs, kissing up and down my thighs.
"I am sure it can wait baby. We are finally alone." He growled.
"I'm pregnant." I told him, making him look at me.
"Really?" He asked surprised.
"Yeah." I smiled, knowing he would be thrilled.
"We have been careful." He was trying to figure out when we didn't use protection.
For a man so smart, sometimes he is a bit slow.
"We were just talking about the time."
"Baby number 5."
"Baby number 5." I squealed out as he wrapped his lips around my clit and started to suck.
My hand gripped the Thor blanket that was thrown over the back of the couch, thanking my lucky stars that I fell in love with the nerdy man of my dreams.

Some Nosferatu (2024) thoughts, with spoilers:
The movie felt much more in conversation with Dracula than either Nosferatu movie. And my common complaint about the former is that Dracula is the weakest part of Dracula, which I think ended up being applicable here
Whereas in Nosferatu, Orlok tends to be a much more dynamic and present character. But the interpretation in Nosferatu (2024) is very flat. Orlok is a force of nature, and I kind of get what they were going for with the line “I am appetite” but I was very much missing the Herzog film’s horrible sort of shame and vulnerability. I also just disliked the accent and emotionless delivery
I did enjoy how they built a sense of unease by cutting suddenly ahead. Seeing Orlak standing to Thomas’ left several feet away and then suddenly reaching around him on his right. The jump from Thomas being at the table to suddenly sitting by the fire
I liked most of the film’s handling of Thomas’ time at the castle and how terrified he was. Nicholas Hoult portrayed petrifying fear and helplessness very well. The dinner sequence with Orlok was very much just from Dracula, but I enjoyed how quickly and sincerely Hoult managed to sell that he was at the point of shaking and weeping in fear by the time Orlok approaches him
That being said the portrayal of Transylvania was… more xenophobic than most. It leaned fully into all the stereotypes which is disappointing for a movie that came out in 2024
I liked Ellen a lot. I enjoyed how much the movie was solely her story. She felt a bit like a bargain brand Vanessa Ives, which, I’ll take it! I did enjoy how the movie handled her relationship with Orlok and it as a metaphor for enduring trauma essentially
The costuming was very good and there were some very fun shots. I didn’t love the color grading and lighting quite frankly and there were a couple of pretty cheap jump scares
Willem Dafoe was a great Van Helsing (Van…Franz? i think?) he was a fun merging of the eccentricities I enjoyed in the 1992 Dracula take, but was definitely a kinder, more empathetic portrayal. He also just had several very funny line deliveries
Aaron Taylor Johnson’s was the standout performance to me actually. I think he brought a lot of dimension to a very generic role while being mindful that he was just a side character. And his unraveling by the end was well done. I was expecting something more to come of him having the odd bit about snatching his hand away from Lily Rose Depp every time she tried to touch him
Ellen’s Vanessa Ives vibe, and there being a general theme of sexual repression, made me think it was going to be revealed that he was attracted to her and treating her poorly for that reason? But nothing really came of that entire plot thread or the larger focus on him being like a condescending patriarch. But he was a fun character!
I liked the ending decently. Though the imagery was simply not as arresting as the Herzog film’s iconic closing shot. I felt in general, that ending with Ellen sacrificing herself was the only real reason this was a Nosferatu adaptation rather than a Dracula adaptation. And I appreciated that as the linchpin of the movie.
Also the choice to never show Orlak’s face lit clearly until the sun shone on him was a very interesting one. And I enjoyed the unflinching emphasis on how much of a corpse he is. Though at times those elements and effects felt very glossy standard horror to me?
Ellen as a doomed protagonist, coming to terms with her this fact, had some shades of Laura Palmer in Fire Walk With Me. The plot and the realization that it’s either her or everyone succumbing to plague/Orlak running free to kill as he pleases felt much more structured and explicitly stated? Which I don’t mind at all, but it’s an interesting difference next to the more surreal vibes based progression of the two Nosferatu movies. In this sense it reminded me more of Penny Dreadful in how much everything was concrete and characters discussed each realization and its repercussions

Not me adding annotations to a book to make it more accessible for my mom when she will read it
#i am once again complaining about italian translators not adding enough context and explainations in queer non fiction books#90% of non queer people or people who do not speak english don't have enough fucking context to get certain things#i need tranlators to add the necessary context to make these books accessible for everyone#olay surely mainly queer people will read a book about going outside the binary but if we want more people to understand us#we need to add the necessary context to make these things comprehensible to everyone#both those who do not have a queer background and therefore have never see certain words and those who do not speak any english#why the fuck are we assuminng everyone reading this knows english and the linguistic and cultural context between certain words#most people i know do not know one word on english and since it's an italian translation you should make it completly accessible for anyone#i don't want people to read this with their phone in their hands to look for meaninga here and there#i have had this complaint before and i will keep complaining#it's frustrating because this book makes the concept of going outside the binary very easy and accessible and the translation is not as good#also the translation of this particular chapter did a terrible job language wise too so i can't expect much#the concept is there but oh boy do a few sentences look like they have been translated with google#so yep i resorted to making my own notes because i want my mom to read this and understand it without here needing to ask me for context#i mean i want conversations to start but not because of translation reasons if you know what i mean#and it would be very unmotivating to read a book that has too many words you don't know bc the translator took things for grated#cris speaks#i am done complaining for now#the og book is super good tho i am happy i am reading it again after so many years#the---hermit

#The Sun and The Void#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#hm. haha. surface level this is kinda interesting and cool but i am going to follow with so many complaints#though I feel like it didn’t go into the magic or worldbuilding as much as I wanted and it felt irrelevant to the characters#like how does the magic even work? idk man#though I feel like it didn’t go into it as much as I wanted and it felt irrelevant to the characters#very slow to start and the pacing is weird. it would also go ages without having the other POV. very disjointed?#it felt like the first 60% was just context for the group of characters getting together as a group and then it was a bit predisposed with#They’re A Group! even tho. they're barely a group for long#the authors note mentions that the story concept started with a line about the god and ritual and…..yeah I can kind of tell#I feel like everything was built up around it in a way that ultimately that part didn’t fit right#I never bought that any of them were actually like fully committed to the evil dark magic? and also there’s this plot twist#that they have to fully kill the sacrifices & I was like…did we not already know that? girl r you stupid what do you think sacrifice means#also#oh my god at like half way one of the MCs is like. oh finally this guy who I’ve been exchanging letters with for months turned up to get me#away from here! by the way I’ve been exchanging letters with this guy and we’re friends! and like. she’d been doing nothing much for the#last 10% of the book why was that not like….shown as something she was doing? and like build up the friendship for the reader instead of#just dropping it on us - and also that we know the character from the other POV. and hes a racist prick. and we're supposed to believe she'#charmed by him because of this letter writing WE DIDN’T SEE….. why.#and then also that is like. he’s a shitbag and it’s obviously not romantic at all. he’s manipulative and terrible to her#EXCEPT at the end it implies his bad behaviour is because demon and oh uwu he gets all beat up and maybe hes sowwy now#and starts to imply she likes and is attracted to him? and I get the impression the next book is gonna be like evil power couple dynamic?#which. feels like the first concept the author had; and then tried to build up to that but not effectively lmao#for the lesbians:#I DO APPRECIATE having an assumed love interest then realising that that was idealised and actually you have feelings#for this other person you’ve become friends with! nice slow switch up. though quite brief#I do however dislike that when she admitted her feelings to the first LI and she rejected her it was still framed as the other’s fault#for not reciprocating the feelings….worst trope….also like. it kind of conflated her not feeling that way to her having a bit of class disc#which. yikes? oh my god stop villainising people for not reciprocating romantic feelings (ALSO they turn out to be related anyway 🤪)#i just feel like the romance switchover could have been done with more nuance and complexity

Every time i go in either Cosmo or Sprout's tags i get jumpscared by my own art now </333
Bigass tag ramble incoming
#certified wally post#im very happy with how said art turned out#but i see my work up there with some of my favorites from other artists and im like HUH#i am still grappling with the fact that those posts blew up like that LMAO#one day i was an invisible blogger with maybe 10-20 notes per work and now i have a post over 1k notes#and going through the dandy tag ~1-2k seems to be the standard for the Big Popular Posts and the fact that i kinda fall into that is. wow#does. does that make me one of the big faces here?? i feel like i am not qualified for such a position#do not take this as complaints though i am absolutely honored that so many wanna hear what i have to say#and hey maybe thisll get eyes on my big dandy project im working on once im ready to share!

#Well#Today's my birthday to my utmost dismay#I never wanted or expected to live this long‚ and I can't say I have not tried to avoid it‚#but I guess I'm not very good at dying as I am not very good at living and here I am#Anyway... I wish for nonexistence with the longing one has for a longlasting life-encompassing unrequited love#I've disliked birthdays since I was a very little kid#I think it was in my third or fourth birthday when I hid in the closet because I didn't want to blow out the candels and make it official#Not that the world or life aren't enchanting in some ways (the reflection on a wall of light falling over water)#but generally speaking they're really not my taste at all#And I wish one could opt out of it as one opts out of going to a party they really don't want to attend nor would enjoy#Without tragedies or complaints or the label of being mad or unable to make choices#I don't know...#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later

we're back from comiket i was so prepared for it to be like vomas where i bought way too much but i didnt end up getting anything. even getting in around 12 after the whole entrance line parade thing the limbus booth already stopped taking orders for the day & by the time i remembered the kamitsubaki fanartists were there they were sold out of anything i wanted. amazing event if ur into recent anime, games, or vtubers unfortunately i really only cared about 2 things so it wasnt really my type of event. still cool to go to tho
#im kind of mad about the limbus booth knowing what kind of numbers to expect and yet#they cut sales before the pm people even got in#like i had an am ticket & bc i wasnt there right at opening i didnt get a chance#which is not so much a complaint with the staff there so much as whoever's organizing it#the kmtsbk fan arts thing is my own fault tho bc i was walking around like an hour or two before i remembered they were there#the cosplayers were very cool too. didnt get any pics ur just going to have to trust me on that#anyway im so just going to focus on going to voca events from here on i think. bc i have the most fun with those#vomas was the best time of my life i would go to vomas again no hesitation#comiket however.. its going to take some convincing to go to another.#not that its bad its just my interests are so limited it just wasnt for me#and thats fine! i know when i fall outside if a target audience#also maybe fuyucomi is better bc. 34°c is a bit much for me. even after getting inside it was still rough#anyway i passed my limits walking around like that all day im crashing hard now byebye

rewatched the serpent's pass last night to take notes for my fic, and all night right up until waking up, i just. couldn't get over how unsatisfying the sukka reunion was. even with my silly shipper goggles on, i'm just like. it didn't sell me, and I don't know how much of that is me being in all likelihood demiromantic, and how much of that was just genuinely lackluster writing :T
like, right before their near kiss, her whole “I lost someone I cared about. He didn’t die. He just went away. I only had a few days to get to know him, but he was smart, and brave, and funny.” just...........Doesn't do it for me. it's so tonally different from what sokka had just said, and also like!!!!! you knew him for like A DAY!!!!!! you did not have NEARLY enough time to care about him like that please be real dlkjfhdkj
#i mean in a lot of ways i'm laughing bc i saw soooo many variations of complaints all boiling down to#''they made natla!suki nothing but boy crazy!!'' and i'm just like...#do what i did and watch the warriors of kyoshi back to back with the serpent's pass and tell me shes ANY better in the original lmfaO#i DO think the writers of the original tended to only remember she's the /leader/ of the kyoshi warriors when it was convenient#IDK really i'm just wrestling with asking myself ''how much liberty am i /really/ going to take with this suki deep dive''#how much am i allowed to change bc this original ep probably came out in like. 2007 and here i am in 2024--#i just want it to be more satisfying#i ALSO want moments between her and other characters since most of her interactions were limited to sokka#BUT ALSO ALSO.#to me suki is very much a ''once she has made her mind up about something nothing will get in her way''& she def made her mind up about him#and i DO think that huge smile of his once he finally recognized her out of uniform absolutely melted her heart in the moment#a sort of ''oh nobody has EVER been that happy to see ME''#ALSO x3: did love seeing her with that main character animation budget - but also loved how many shots shoved her in the very back#like yeah i'm sure relatively speaking in her kyoshi gear she was expensive to animate lol#talking tag

So excited for SMN in 7.0 Sure, they probably won't fix any of the issues the job actually has but they ARE giving us another BIG FUCKOFF DRAGON that looks COOL AS SHIT and I for one am so on board.
#leaving this in the tags bc i am risking Participating in Discourse here#maybe I'm biased because I only started playing in 6.2 but#I actually really like smn as it exists now!#and I think the direction they've taken it post-6.0 is cool! and fun to play!#it doesn't have to be the most complicated job out there for me to find it enjoyable!#my only real complaint is that I wish you got the favor abilities in some fashion at a way lower level#I'm also very interested to see what the unassignables update looks like on SMN cause like.#we already got. Astral Flow is a button that exists to turn into other buttons.#interested to see if it sticks around though.#maybe they'll just get rid of it and put those buttons on top of the primal summons#anyways uh. yeah. i like smn and I'm excited to see where they take it in DT#ffxiv#gail speaks

its only been 2 weeks but i just dont feel like i can do this.
its really stressful. the workload is always high. having a break isn't really a thing. and with how bad my schedule is (that i could not do anything about) i have to wake up extremely early (5-5:30am) and i come home in the evening (also 5-5:30 but pm). and i just have to dedicate that time to homework and i know there's going to be lots of all-nighters
i have no time to eat. im tired all the time. focusing on work is difficult in general, but my lack of eating and sleep make it worse. and while i know the exercise is good for me, having to walk a mile each way to and from home and all my walking on campus makes me very tired and sore. (im so petty)
i know im being overdramatic because its only been 2 weeks. but it gets worse from here on out. im really stressed and anxious all the time. and ive already broken down a few times. i want to cry right now because im under so much stress, but people are awake so i cant.
its so petty. i want to give up now and i keep contemplating, i thought about going to the rooftop and. well. you know. i want to drop out now but that would upset my family a ton (also its only been 2 weeks!!!). but i dont really like my family's idea that if they went to college and got their degrees, so can i. they all went to college so thats what was encouraged of me to do too after i graduated high school. and this is just community college. if im barely hanging on in community college id be dead by now in a uc or cal state, either one im planning to transfer to once im done at community college...
i knew i wasnt cut out for college. i knew it since before applying. i keep telling myself this is only until december. and when i register for the spring term i can hopefully form a much better schedule so im not stressed out and loaded with work all the time and i can actually take care of myself. so im trying to keep moving forward. but its only now september. i have 13 more weeks. and if these first two weeks were enough to kick my ass then im fucked for the rest of the semester. and probably my entire time at college.
#vent#i do not like that i break under pressure so easily#guess who has zero time to go see the psychiatrist and mention my medication isn't working so it cant help regulate my anxiety rn!!!!!!!!!!#i dont want to give up so easily. i feel like it'd be petty of me to do so especially so soon. and im being teased by family for my#complaints. but i really feel like i cant do this. at all.#maybe i could go seek the mental health services on campus but i dont really want to hear the same things over and over#i have a very strong feeling i know what they'll tell me. they get stressed af students like me going to see them all the time probably#i just. want to cry. this stress is terrible.#this was my plan. besides encouragement i wanted to attend community college then go to a 4-year. i feel like I cant give up yet#because this was my idea. i am now here doing what i had planned and now i want to back out. i dont have any right to back out of this#im doing what i wanted and what family wanted. leaving isn't an option what the hell am I thinking?

Really fucking cool of my work to use 2 photos of their fat staff members in the PSA about how it's important to be healthy and that two thirds of Aussies are overweight and that is BAD
#me being one of the photos#it's a nice photo too but are you fucking serious#I have been feeling so good about myself and now I am just sobbing#idk if I even have grounds to make a complaint but like who the fuck thought this would be a good idea#words.png#like maybe I'm just fat girl overreacting but like in what world would this not make someone upset#like just pick some smiley photos of whoever fuck#it's also just embarassing#like the photo next to ours is some super fit lady at the gym#and of course my bf isnt here so now I'm in Very Immediate Danger of relapsing if I can't calm myself down 🫠
