#these next few months are going to be fun

[cyberstudious]

2025, week 1 (dec 30th - jan 5th) ✨

for this year, I felt inspired to take a page out of @lostlibrariangirl's book and try weekly posts! I like the idea of collecting little moments throughout the week & reflecting on them at the end.

this week was very strange and kind of difficult, tbh. I blame new year's day falling in the middle of the week - my routine-loving brain did not have a good time haha. I was also struggling to get some work projects done. I find that some projects flow really well, and others seem to drag on forever and make me question my purpose, but I suppose it all balances out in the end. I'm hoping that things will feel more normal next week, now that all the holidays are over. swinging between feeling super exhausted and super motivated is not fun :(

one of the things that I did this week was fill out a goals page in my 2025 planner! I wrote down a lot, but I think they're all achievable, and it's okay if I don't get everything! it'll still be nice to look back at the end of the year and see what I've done. there are some cybersecurity courses that I want to work through, and I want to properly get back into language learning this year, but I wrote down some fun goals, too! here is a small selection of what I want to try and do in 2025:

complete the TCM Practical Malware Analysis and Triage course

read a book in Spanish

reach 50 birds on my life list (this is a totally arbitrary number, but that's like 1-2 new birds per month which I think I can do if I really try) (a subgoal of this is trying to spot an american woodcock bc their range technically overlaps with where I live and they are so goofy looking. I want to see one of them doing that funky lil dance in person so bad)

mend at least 1 item of clothing

get a technician amateur radio license (everyone on my dad's side of the family is licensed, and I think it would be a fun hobby to get into as a combo of learning the science behind radio & also learning to help with communications from a disaster preparedness perspective)

I think 2025 is going to be a year where I have to keep reminding myself that I can do anything, but not everything. I also want to make it a year of reaching out and forging connections with people in my community & online friends. the world feels like a very heavy place more days than not, but we can get through it together.

some highlights from this week:

drinking lots of tea

settling into my 2025 planner

getting back into language learning with clozemaster & busuu

outlining & starting the first draft of a fic that's taken over my brain the past few weeks lol

finishing two projects at work so I can start fresh next week

I also saw my neighbor that called me fat a few weeks ago. It’s safe to say I’m even bigger now. I had a meeting with my boss this evening so I was in a top and dress slacks (and an unphotographed blazer) that I haven’t put on in over a year. Safe to say they don’t fit.

I was taking my coat off when she looked over at me and she looked shocked! I’ve been stuffing all day but even without that there’s no denying that I’ve been blowing up like a balloon. Every inch of my body is getting bigger and softer and rounder.

She was staring at me and she said “girl you need to buy bigger pants! Maybe a size or two up if you aren’t planning on dieting.”

So of course I had a little bit of fun “well it’s a good thing you said I looked good chunkier. It looks like I gained back every bit of weight I lost and then some.”

She got herself together and said “wow it looks really good on you. You carry the weight really well. How much have you gained since the last time I saw you?”

And I said “idk maybe 10lbs?” I put my hand on my belly and squeezed the roll and said “I swear it went straight to my belly!”

She watched me pinch and roll the blooming fat at my waist and said “it looks way bigger than the last time I saw you! You definitely gained weight! Honestly if I didn’t know better I’d think you were pregnant with how big your belly is getting so quickly,”

So she and I sit down next to each other to each other on a bench and I looked at her, with my hand on my belly and a huge roll hanging over my pants, “I know. I’m getting really fat,”

She watched me play with my belly as I lifted and dropped the roll over my waist band and she said “I wouldn’t say you’re fat yet. Probably just chubby, fat for you yes, but just chubby to anyone else.”

Then she lifted up her shirt and showed me her soft but flat belly and said “it’s ok we all gain weight over the holidays, look at how jiggly I am,” she’s not but I let her pretend.

“Psssh you don’t have a belly you have a flat tummy,” I lifted my top out of my pants which was a struggle. My belly plopped out and I said “this is a belly.”

She reached out and pinched my belly and jiggled it a little then said “wow you must have been eating like a pig to balloon this quickly.”

“I know. I’m really getting big quickly. If I keep going at this rate I’ll be 180 pounds in a couple months!”

She replied “I think that would look really good on you, you look cute with a round belly like that.”

So it’s safe to say she wants me to get fatter! I don’t think she’s a feeder. She’s only brought me banana bread once or twice. But she obviously likes that I’m getting fat.

Hi Mere I don't want to imply anything but I'm worried that your new relationship stopped helping you be creative and put out updates. Is your fiance not letting you write? I'm concerned about you.

Look, i appreciate your concern and I’m sure you have good intentions but let me set you straight.

I met my fiancé through writing. we used to write together every single night. They’ve been nothing but my biggest fan, my biggest supporter, the person I can turn to for honest and kind feedback. When I was writing Youngblood and I wrote a chapter I absolutely HATED it was them who encouraged me to rework it into something I was proud of and who didn’t let me give up and just hate myself for it.

And when I said I wanted to stop writing for a while let me tell you there was a big silence and they gave me a look of horror and asked if I was okay because YEAH, it’s very unlike me.

But first I want to say, that just because you guys have known about my relationship for a little while doesn’t mean that’s as long as it’s existed. I was happily in this relationship when I was pumping out 3 chaps a week, and I’m happily in it now that I’m posting 0.

The honest truth is I’m burnt the fuck out. I don’t want to write because I have zero interest in it right now. It doesn’t make me happy, I’m not motivated or burning to do it like I used to be. I wrote nonstop through my last two years of college, through graduating, through working a terrible food service job post grad, living in constant dread of what came next. I’m just burnt out. I’ve been pumping out jegulus nonstop since 2022, ofc I was going to lose steam and move away from it eventually.

Im just busy and tired! I’m moving in a few months, I have a full time job now, I go to work at 8am and come home at 5 or 6 and I don’t want to write. I want to spend time with my family or my friends or my fiancé. In December I worked for 17 days straight without a day off, I needed a break! And when I want comfort and happiness I don’t have to turn to writing to find it.

I’m mentally at the best I have been in a very long time, and I don’t need to write like someone has a gun to my head to cope anymore. I had a very unhealthy and obsessive relationship with writing. And I always joked when people asked how I wrote so much that it was mental illness. But it wasn’t really a joke, I was unwell and coping with fanfic. So while I’m sure some of you may be sad to see my writing slow, I hope you’re happy for me because it’s a good thing!! I want to heal my relationship with writing and I want it to be something I simply do for fun, not something to fill some hole inside of me.

So while I’m sure you mean well, I just want to remind you guys that you see a very small piece of my life and my relationship. So I’d appreciate not making assumptions 🩷

Prologue 

The celebration of childhood has begun…

In a world far more twisted than ours lies a blonde teen sleeping in bed, with his familiar lying right next to him. As darkness envelops his vision, a scene begins to play in his head. A group of lost toys are greeted by a paradise– a daycare– where children come to play with objects like them everyday. Among them is a space ranger who’s effects and details have been scratched out with time, a dinosaur whose tail looks twisted, and a cowgirl and cowboy. The latter’s gold badge still shines as if it were new. 

A yellow truck rolls up to them, with a pink teddy bear inside. “Well, hello there!” He sings with a cheerful tune before hopping off the vehicle. “I thought I heard new voices! Welcome to Sunnyside!”

As the stuffed animal gives the space ranger a hug, the scene shifts to a play area, as the toys get ready for a day of fun. Excitement spreads across the dinosaur's face as he runs towards the door, excited to have new playmates after such a long time…

++++

Heavy eyelids give way to a pair of dark blue pupils. Wiping away the tiredness, the teen gets up and looks at his dead clock. He stares at it, proceeding to grab the watch lying next to it. He glances at the time. 

7:30 AM

He blinks twice.

“GRIM! Get up! Get up now!” With a rush of energy, the student throws himself forward and climbs off the bed.

“Nyegh…What is it Yuukei-YEOWCH!” The familiar’s, Grim, flames shoot upwards as Yuukei’s foot tramples on his poor tail. “Watch where you’re stepping!” 

“Sorry!” Yuukei mutters as he scrambles off the worn bed, looking for his school uniform. “But we’re gonna be late!” 

It’s been a few months since Yuukei landed himself in Twisted Wonderland after his “incident” with a few street robbers and the odd encounter with the Night Raven College’s magic carriage. Despite dealing with less-than-average grades, a certain green-haired student who will simply not shut up, and saving the school from destruction by teens who have never gone to therapy, he’s managed quite the stable life for himself. 

“My beanie…my beanie… Aha!” The blonde teen exclaimed as he lifted the worn hat off the floor and put it atop his head. 

“When are you gonna throw that thing? It’s starting to look raggedy.” Grim said as he picked up his ribbon.

“Uh, never!” He nabbed the fabric off Grim’s hands and quickly began to tie it around the animal’s neck. “My uncle gave it to me.”

“Nyeh, the uncle that called you a jerk?”

“No, no. The one that's not technically my relative, remember? He used to live a few blocks from me. It's practically my own family heirloom now!” He finished the bow with a satisfied grin, “Now let's go before Professor Crewel decides to make us clean the cauldrons!”

Grim jumped onto Yuukei’s shoulders as the teen grabbed his bag. The two ran out the door into the winter morning and towards the giant school of NRC. During the fall months, the school would have resembled some kind of haunted castle. But with winter, the sparkling snow has complimented the area’s prestigious aesthetic rather well.

“Too bad I can’t stick around to look at all the snow…” Yuukei thinks, as he runs up the flights of stairs and into the school. However, instead of the lively halls he was accustomed to, the Ramshackle student was surprised to be met with almost empty halls. 

“Ehh?” Grim mumbled, “Did they start classes early or somethin’?” 

“They would have made an announcement if that happened…” Yuukei replied, as they walked around the school halls. Still, even the classrooms had no students, and the two still haven’t seen any of their other first year friends.

It wasn’t until the third floor that a familiar voice called out to them. “Yuu, over here!” Yuukei spun his head to see Ace and what appeared to be a large crowd behind him. “Man, you might wanna take a look at this.” 

Pushing past the cluster of gossiping students, Yuukei and Grim manage to get to the front of the blockade. They stare, mouths agape, at the scene in front of them. 

CHAPTER 1: Welcome to Memory Lane!

The hall, which would normally match the college’s clean yet moody atmosphere, was decked from wall to wall with pastel decor. Streamers, confetti, stickers, and what looks to be paint have made its way across the floor and somehow stuck to the ceiling. And the normal club posters that scattered across the bulletin board were replaced with blindingly white posters, the title “Festival of Memories” covering them with an equally horrendous font. Right in the middle of it were two students in pastel pink dorm colors having a screaming match.

In far more simpler terms, it was a mess that not even Yuukei could conjure up. He opened his mouth to ask who had done this when a certain hot-headed dorm leader answered for him. Riddle Rosehearts, appalled by the scene in front of him, gripped one of the posters so hard Yuukei thought the shorter man was going to rip it to shreds.

“Those accursed Toytoriya students!”

Riddle looked like he was going to overblot all over again, as he and the crowd gazed upon the mess in the hallway. Alerted by the noise, a few more students joined the group. 

Yuukei spoke, “Toytoriya? Is that some kind of new brand or somethin’?”

A familiar, smooth voice answered the question, “As hilarious as that would be, little potato, I’m afraid you’re wrong.”

Vil and Leona popped up behind Riddle, fascinated and horrified at the sight in front of them. “Toytoriya, the dorm of imagination, finally crawled out of its study hole, and it looks like their Festival of Dreams appeared with it.” Vil scoffs.

Grim chimes in with his own questions, “Festival of Dreams?? Toytoriya?? Nya, you gotta give us more details here!” 

Pomefiore’s leader let out a sigh, seeing that Riddle looked far too angry to give any exposition. “Toytoriya’s not too different from other dorms if you don’t count their ugly flair to things. But instead of something simple like a potion competition to choose dorm leadership, these theater kids’ leaders are chosen based on their experience with stageplays.”

Grim looks towards the two arguing first years, “I still don’t get it, ain’t it just auditioning? Why the need for crazy advertising?”

Leona yawned before adding in, “That’s what you’d think, but it turns out Toytoriya’s takes their creativity bit way too seriously. Turns out they have a deal with the Headmaster where they get the school’s colosseum for a single weekend during the entire year. They end up setting up everything from food stalls to fireworks. It’s like a glorified version of VDC!” He smirks.

“Glorified? Don’t be silly.” Vil counters, “VDC is complex, hard to train for, and is known worldwide unless you live under a rock. But that accursed festival? It’s nothing more than a bunch of fools prancing around on stage. Remember the 2nd place winner last year?”

“Who doesn’t? The guy was so bad that I voted for Lotsie.” Leona’s nose suddenly crinkles in disgust, “Speak of the Devil…”

“Excuse me! Sorry!” A light and dreamy voice arose from the crowd. Quickly, the group dispersed, allowing a pink-haired man to walk through, cane in hand. As he got closer, Yuukei smelled a whiff of strawberry perfume– likely what’s causing Leona’s face to scrunch up.

“I messed up my foot while casting a spell yesterday,” The man, presumably Lotsie, began, “so next thing you know I have to find my cane! And then I forget how far the entrance portal is and get driven to the dorm entrance and-“ 

“WILLIAM HUGGINS.” Riddle grabbed the student’s shirt and pointed towards the mess behind him, “What are you going to do about this?” 

“Ahh, the hall… Wow, those two first years seriously went all out!” 

Your first years, Huggins. Your first years went all out.” Riddle let out an exasperated sigh. “Your birthday may be coming up, but that does not make you nor your dorm exempt from destroying the school’s halls!” 

Lotsie’s form shrinked back, despite him being almost a head taller than Heartslabyul’s leader. “I know! I’m sorry! But they’re first years, and it’s their first time doing all this stuff! I just wanted them to have fun!” 

Riddle seemed to calm down with Lotsie’s explanation, bits of rage red withdrawing from the 2nd year’s face. “Fine, fine, I won’t report this time. But get this stuff cleaned up before lunch! And by the great eight, Lotsie, get your group together. And yourself together for that matter, you’re almost a fourth year, so act like it!”

“...Yes, sir!” Lotsie said with a nervous smile.

“And the rest of you,” Riddle turned to the crowd of gawking students, “it's best you leave now, unless you plan to all get detention.”

And with that, the crowd dispersed to avoid the wrath of Riddle. Thus, leaving Lotsie, Yuukei, Grim, and the two first year students who caused this mess.

CHAPTER 2: Child’s Argument 

“Oh! You’re Ramshackle’s prefect!” Lotsie exclaimed, finally noticing Yuukei. He glanced at Grim. “And that’s your..?”

“Master!” Grim answered with his usual smirk. Lotsie replied with a sad smile. “Ah, I’m so embarrassed that you two witnessed all that! I hope your impression of me wasn’t too damaged…” 

“Ehh, not too much,” Yuukei scratched his head, “it's not your fault after all, that goes to the two sitting down over there.”

“I suppose you’re right. Although, now that you’ve brought it up…” The pink haired man’s voice trailed, as the trio looked at the students who caused the whole mess. They appear to have calmed down, now sitting away from each other on the messy floor.

Lotsie walks up to them and squats down. “Winston, Zackery, do either of you want to tell me what hap-”

The first year donning a side ponytail pointed towards the other, “It’s all his fault! He brought out a bunch of drones and started chucking paint and confetti all over the place!”

The second one, with striking purple hair and red eyes, gasped, “How dare thee?! King Huggins, this slandering hero is made up of lies! I, Zackery Heidrich the 3rd, may pride myself on my villainy, but I dare not throw that blame onto someone else! Not to mention, the hero was the one who thought it’d be a good idea to start plastering those ugly paintings on the walls!”

Yuukei and Grim looked at each other in confusion as Winston gritted his teeth, “Ugly?! The hell’s that supposed to mean?!”

“You know what it means, you bumpkin hero! Everyone in the kingdom of toys knows you can’t draw, much less make a poster! My minions could do a better job and they’re not even fully programmed yet!”

Their arguing started up once more, with Lotsie’s pleas to stop falling on deaf ears. From Yuukei’s point of view, the scene reminds him of a teacher trying to console two children. He could hear Grim snicker behind him. Suddenly, an idea pops up in the blonde teen’s mind. 

“Does it matter who did what?” He began, “The two of you are still gonna have to clean this stuff up together. Unless you plan to make your poor dorm leader pick up the slack for you…”

In the corner of Yuukei’s eye, he sees Lotsie’s confused look. He shoots a glance back towards the pink-haired man. 

Lotsie catches on and sighs. “Oh, I suppose I will have to clean all this stuff up… with my poor leg too… If only my underclassmen could stop fighting-”

“We’ll clean up!” The two yell in unison, not wanting to disappoint the dorm leader they look up to. Before Lotsie could say anymore, the two sped off to look for the janitor’s closet. 

“Oh, thank the eight, and you!” He turned to Yuukei and Grim. “The student body was right, Ramshackle’s new students really are a godsend! How did you know to do that with those two?” 

“It's nothing much!” Yuukei replied, “Back home, I have a lot of younger cousins that argue a lot, and my aunt would usually play the pity card to make them stop. Their fighting just reminded me of them!”

“Well, I’m glad your aunt taught you such a good trick! I wouldn’t have thought of something so creative!”

“Hah? That doesn’t make sense, aren’t you literally the leader of the dorm of imagination or something like that?” Grim asks?

Lotsie giggles nervously, “Yes, I am. But I don’t have much experience with being a mediator in arguments, just one of those adult things I never came to understand. Still! At least now we can get to class quicker.” Toytoriya’s dorm leader looked towards the classrooms.

“Ah! I totally forgot about my textbooks!” He exclaimed and snapped his head to Yuukei, “I’m so sorry to ask, but could you watch over Winston and Zackery while they clean? They’re usually really fast, but I don’t want them devolving into another fight.”

“I mean, I guess I can-”

“Thank you so much! And I’ll make it up to you, I swear!” Lotsie promised. “And if you have any stuff, just come on over to Toytoriya and hand it to me!” 

As Yuukei’s classmates come back with mops and buckets in hand, Lotsie quickly thanks them and leaves. Before the trio could begin, however, Zackery snatched the mop from Yuukei’s hands.

“Hey, what’s the big idea?” Grim demanded.

“Hmph! Worry not to tiring yourselves out, Ramshackle civilians! My totally evil drones will clean up this place in a jiffy!” 

“You and those darn robots again!” Winston exclaimed, sponge in hand, “What really gets things clean is just doing the work by hand!”

“Hah! Does the hero dare challenge my minions to another game of who’s faster?” 

“You bet I do!”

As the two begin scrubbing the floors and tearing down streamers from the ceiling with a great fervor, Yuukei begins to understand how the hallway got to its messy state in the first place.

CHAPTER 3: Pocket Watch

Lotsie certainly wasn’t lying when he said the first years could get the hallway done fast, but Yuukei couldn’t tell if that's because of the amount of drones Zackery had come in or the sheer drive Winston had to get the place looking spotless. Either way, the hallway was clean with 3 minutes to spare till classes began.

Grim noticed something sparkling on the floor, and picked it up. “Myeh, Yuukei, look what I found’.” The beast handed the item to his henchman, who looked it over.

“A pocket watch?” Yuukei muttered as he pressed the button on the silver timepiece’s top. Inside, nothing looked to be working. 

“Hey, I think you guys forgot a prop…” Yuukei turned to face Toytoriya’s first years only for them to have already sped down the corridor. “Crap, what time is it? C’mon Grim, we’ll just give this thing to Winston later!” 

Running into the classroom right on time, the rest of the duo’s day passed uneventfully, save for Ace and Deuce whispering to them about the spectacular mess from that morning. 

“So…what were they like?” Ace asked the blonde classmate during lunchtime, his usual smirk lying right on his face. 

“What was what like?” Yuukei asked back, half of his tray being devoured by Grim.

“Those guys from Toytoriya, duh!” Ace scoffed. “Are they weird like everyone says they are? Or are they just super immature?”

“C’mon Ace, it's rude to talk about your classmates in such a way.” Deuce’s eyebrows furrowed. “Although, I’m also interested in the students from that dorm. I don’t think any Toytoriya students made it into our class, so I’ve never really got to know any of them…”

“Well, they’re a little immature, sure,” Yuukei pondered earlier that day, “But I wouldn’t call them weird, maybe just super eccentric!”

“So… they’re weird.” 

“Why’s it matter to you?” Grim interrupts, “We gotta head over to their dorm to give ‘em something back. Why not meet them yourselves and follow us in!” 

He takes another bite of Yuukei’s food as the Heartslabyul duo look at him. “Really?! We’re allowed to go in just like that?” Ace exclaimed. 

“Yeah? Why wouldn’t you?”

“NRC’s second years have all kinds of stories about that dorm. Like, scary ones! They say if you sneak in or out of the dorm without permission, you’ll go crazy!” 

Yuukei raises an eyebrow, “I don’t believe you.”

“I’m serious!” Ace argued, before leaning close and whispering, “A few days ago, I saw a Heartslabyul student get returned from Toytoriya during the night. Apparently, he broke something while trying to sneak into the dorm. He looked fine, he just said the dorm’s leader gave him a real good talking-to. But the next day, the guy had a full-blown breakdown! Everyone says it's because of Toytoriya’s put a curse on him!”

“Wasn’t that a myth? N-Not that I listen to any conspiracy theories in the school,” Deuce coughs. “The nurse checked him and said he must be having bad sleep problems.”

“What kind of sleep is able to do something like that?!” 

“The real restless kind, I bet.” Yuukei says. “Anyways, I’ll just go with Grim’s idea and bring you guys along. Their dorm leader’s crazy nice, I’m sure he’ll be fine with it.”

In episode one, it was only Eddie sitting on the couch, with Buck standing behind it. There is, not only an obstacle, but also a height difference between them. The obstacle part is quite obvious, as that man is also in the scene. But, the height difference could mean that Buck is at a higher plane of understanding than Eddie is at this moment

Then, in episode 6, they both sit on the couch. The obstacle has been removed, and they are both on a level playing field. Eddie is starting to get back to himself, maybe even figuring out something about himself, while Buck is back to being unsure of who he is.

But, in episode 8, only Buck sits on the couch. Another obstacle forms and the physical distance between them shows the separation that is coming. Buck is alone in facing this because Eddie has his mind made up. He's continuing the spiral, while Eddie is stopping the growth, and reverting back into old habits.

So… she's single?

Steph and Ellie are in the library working on a project together when Steph decides she has to ask now or she won't get a chance with vacation right around the corner.

Before Steph can ask her question, a girl, perhaps a couple of years older than them, greets them before heading to the counter where Barbara is.

steph: (still distracted watching the girl heading to the counter) "I have a crush on your sister." ellie: (proceeds to shudder) that's my mom.- steph: (blinks a couple of times) So… she's single?

Part of 🟢 Leo gets Overwhelmed au🟢

Aah, I’m so happy I made it in in time! 💙✨ Merry Christmas, tumblr nation! Here’s a little comic about 03 Usagi and Leo going so see the Rockefeller tree after the events of the Christmas Aliens episode.

Little post about events earlier that night

Also this is literally how maskless Leo looks to me, he’s so moomincore ;

some WIPs from the 80s AU i never finished

Sometimes you end up watching a show that you had been putting off for literally years even though you know it’s exactly your shit for no good reason really and then it punches you in the teeth emotionally and you avoid doing a bunch of work like you did a few years ago with the other gay angel show.

What was I saying again? Oh right, I really enjoyed Good Omens on the television. Give me that good supernatural pining content I will eat it with a goddamn spoon.

Support works like this one by Preordering my Book, The Hundredth Voice, coming out this October. It does not involve the end of the world, but it does involve some very frantic gay people and a supernatural entity being confused for an angel.

Bam bing bong, summary of my doodles in 2024

Day 1 and 2 of Comic Fiesta

(shaking hands, functioning on three iced coffees, not beta read we just die) (LIL BRO TREATING THIS LIKE AO3Anyways yeah i did not read anything i typed here a second time so my wording might Suck Major Kuss)

Hey chat! sorry my holiday depression unfortunately kicked in, i had a ,, relatively decent Eid (cuz i dont celebrate christmas) ...? so i hope everyone had a relatively better holiday than i did… 💦

My friends often tell me i look like my art and i kinda see it. Hooray! Meeting the artist! Except i took matters into my own hands of making my own collage because I Do Not Have Enough Storage Space For Any Other Editing App

Additional shitpost ❤️ the art I've been most proud of are not actually in here, really! I'm mainly proud of the fanart i made for the few smiling critters AU's aaaall the way back feb-march but. I guess the stuff i liked the most i did this year was probably for the one who wilts? Im trying to think of stuff earlier than that. I noticed i definitely had an improvement in art, and i learned i do have a preference of drawing certain ways now too lmao- the fun of art! I hope to improve more in 2025 :-)

Herm,, all jokes aside, im glad people like my art...?? I am not a very Secure artist myself (already taking me five minutes to type that out and consider myself as an artist) so im SHOCKED when people Actually like my things. My doodles. The sometimes rare occasion of real art i put out there. Like! Wow! Thats crazy

Id have to say the same for youtube- im currently at 456 subscribers 🥺❤️ that is huge to me,, i wouldnt have expected me posting for the first time in years on youtube would result to me getting this many subscribers? ? .???

Im very, VERY thankful for the people ive met this year through fandom and generally. Unfortunately—for the past few months—Ive hit a really low stump in my mental health that limits me from talking to people without getting super drained, even on social media i kinda struggle with being active again. I am thankful for the people that continue to stick around and know im the way that i am,, one day ill be mentally stronger and everyone is gonna see my growth as soon as i can ,, Actually leave my own home and hopefully start a new. I didnt really consider that until one of my friends shared its experiences with me and i GENUINELY realized i can run away and get better one day,, there is a light at the end of the tunnel,, there IS,, but not now. Not today. Not in a few months. Itll take me years to heal but 2025 and ongoing years as i get more freedom to do so,,

UHHHH UHHH. ASIDE FROM CHEESY RANTING OF HAVING HOPES FOR THE FUTURE, YAPYAPYAP- i got a drawing tablet (again another thing my friend inspired me for- technically two major things in a row it inspired me for- hope in the future and drawing BWAHAHA-) and uhhh. HmMMOOHHH YEAH I REUNITED MY MEOWMEOWS! HOORA🎊🎊🎊🎊

my 2025 goals are not just improvement in art,, but in hopes of getting a full time job (since my last full time UMM. did NOT work out well! How am i gonna learn to pay my taxes on my own dawg,) and trying to get a place of my own since i missed out on that two years ago (or one? One year ago? I DUNNO..!!!!) , therapy and trying to heal better compared to my terrible stumps of 2022-2024,, i dunno what else but. Maybe working on my social skills at some point 🗿🗿 a far fetched goal is moving out of state completely and also going on testosterone but that is farrrr from now </33

Thank you lot for following and keeping up with my goofiness i gen did not think an animanga nerd with a passion of indie and mascot horror games could reach 510 followers within one year HELPPP thats crazy

On less serious goals though i hope on watching more animes than reading manga in 2025 BWAHAHAGAHSAJD i read manga more and anime is Extremely Rare for me to watch but both jjk and Beastars have all ive been watching as of recent lol- trust i will be such a geek (girl Please that is NAWT something to look forward to) (YES IT IS. HAVE YOU NO WHIMSY?)

Need to stop saying yes to people while I’m running on empty. I rly don’t know why I do this, but between preparing for my neuro hospital internship / studying full time for one of the hardest national exams in the states / volunteering at 3 places / like 8282727 other things I genuinely do not have the energy to be around people and present. Especially bc people are used to a more bubbly version of me and I am just!! Tired!!! And cannot be that right now!! But I also do love my friends and don’t want to self isolate. Life is so hard when you’re a busy girl who gets her energy thru being around people but literally does not have the time
