before i go to bed i need everyone to look at one of the videos i took this morning of the stingrays in the harbour!

#these are short tail stingrays btw #they were waving hello!#i’m still so happy about this and it’s been almost a full day #we were close enough to touch #it was the best experience of my life #i love them so much #also ignore us talking in the background we were all very excited

Jing Yuan has one of those loud dad sneezes and the first time u hear it he startles both himself and Mimi awake from a nap

#I’m in my old man jing yuan era #they were cuddling together ofc just to clarify #anyway in my case it’s bc I leaned down to kiss him and my hair tickled his nose #and he’s all groggy and confused for a hot second bc it rlly did wake him up from a deep sleep and #not even yanqing can get close enough to touch him while he’s asleep but I did oh shit this is bad #(but then he registers that I’m giggling and Mimi’s lapping at my arm and nvm it’s not bad he’s dragging me down to nap w them)#sorry. I’m soft today #pattering on the roof #old man jing yuan posting

> be a robin buckley fan

> be lesbian

> project on robin

> look up "internalized homophobia robin buckley" on tumblr because it's cathartic

> 3/4 of the posts are about st3ddie or just about steve

#saw one in which steve was like ''no robin you don't understand! i have never been loved! i don't know how that feels like!''#i have several grips about that interpretation #going from the fact that's not true (dustin is clearly a big steve fan + robin herself cares about him deeply)#to the fact he probably wouldn't be introspective enough to voice his emotions this concisely not to mention he'd probably wouldn't take #a moment to realize he's never felt loved if that were the case. i mean. he could think that. when he's like 35 and more in touch with his #inner world. 19yo steve can't even get the hint that hitting on a girl who's already clearly taken (nancy) is wrong so like i don't expect #him to be that smart #but i can live with people having takes i don't agree with. my opinion doesn't have to be everyone else's opinion if you see steve that way #it fine #what bothered me was the fact he was saying this to a lesbian living in the 80s lmao #who tells him that 1) her whole life has been an error 2) she doesn't think he'd want to be close to her if he truly knew her and 3)#3) is paralyzed by fear of social suicide if she dares believe for even a second that the girl she likes may like her too #like i dont need people to do deep dives into robin lore and quote from memory lines from Surviving Hawkins abt robin feeling like she's #rotten inside. not supposed to have friends. feeling like something is wrong with her and that pushes people away etc etc #the fact that she's a lesbian should tell you enough abt who has the biggest chances of being loved 😭#also bothered me that it showed up when looking up posts abt internalized homophobia because?? where's the internalized homophobia therw #unless it's gay steve feeling bad abt it in an AU (as if canon robin didn't go through it)#like look im not bothered to find steve-centric content in the robin tag cos people are gonna tag her in posts mentioning her.#she's his friend.#but there are barely any posts at all about robin's internalized homophobia. like i saw 2 or 3. compared to all the steve or steddie ones #where's the love for my babygirl 😭😭#anti steddie #not really but y'know i don't wanna bother anyone #edit: the bit about there being like 3 posts on robin w internalized homophobia isn't exactly true. there are a few. but they still feel #drowned in st3ddie posts #like something isn't right here

because twitter's seen it already, I feel the need to share that keeve made a habit of resting her hand on terec's shoulder when either needed support

(IDs in alt)

#tagging #terekeeve #because I kind of want to get this ship tag rolling #also I want to disclaim that the art team does draw casual touch a lot but keeve does this specific mannerism a few times #and usually the touch is in distress or danger. in the first two keeve leaves her hand on their shoulder even after it's not immediate #there's other stuff like keeve and terec partnering up on later missions and them being the first of the twins she recognizes correctly #(and if I'm interpreting it right she could've joked that she learned to recognize them from behind but it could also be their voice/manner #(unclear due to Keeve getting cut off)#'we're enough. we were always enough'#anyway I don't think Cavan is making them canon but I definitely think he's setting up a close companionship between the two.#as good jedi and all #damn shame orla died though bc I would've paid to see keeve drop some innuendo about terec to her as revenge for the sskeer moment #star dorks #r: terekeeve #light and life #r: always enough

ok i originally just wanted to think of something w obagiyuu but then it went to obamitsugiyuu but then sabiuzui happened and now its a full on everyone lives au with everyone hugging the last 3 ubuyashiki kids just after kiriya announces the demon slayer corps disbanded and im Crying

#kny manga spoilers #kny spoilers #<just bc its an original post #mitsuri got so emotional she had to hug him but she forgot she lost both her arms.#obanai cant see whats going on so giyuu pulls him over with his remaining arm and they act as her arms for her :)#everyone else joins in very soon after pulling in the other 2 with them #some kakushi sprinted to bring a camera to document the last moment of the demon slayer corps as something joyous #finally get to unveil my sabito lives au idea- in the final battle sabito & giyuu were fighting together and sabito saw an attack coming #before giyuu did so he shoved giyuu out of the way- muzan's attack still got most of giyuu's arm and the end of sabito's forearm #sabito was horrified for a moment bc. that was far to close to losing giyuu in a fuckin *instant*#something something even earlier genya & muichiro live because sanemi stopped koku from fully cutting genya in half & genya regenerated #enough to chomp through the sword going through his mouth. made him more monstrous like how koku was about to do and it had the same 'is #that what i become? what im becoming? and for what- power? life? this isnt worth it' and explodes himself #all 4 of them patch up and recover as much as they can before joining everyone else w muzan #sanemi telling genya that under NO CIRCUMSTANCE is he to eat part of muzan. kokushibo was already pushing it the demon king himself? FUCK n #anyways it all started at an inn on a joint mission with sabito & giyuu and obanai #giyuu & obanai were kinda just chilling while sabito was out and about doing who knows what #'im bored' 'what do you expect me to do about that?.' 'wanna check out the onsen with me?' 'wh.' 'do you think kaburamaru would like the #warmth?' '..i dont know' 'onsen?' 'fine.' que giyuu giving him a towelette to tie over his nose & tying his hair up with an extra he brough #obanai thinks hes weird but is very touched by the gestures nonetheless. they speak sparsely until sabito joins (giyuu left a note) &#starts up a bit more conversation. it gets quiet after a while and sabito looks over and notices giyuu's little smile as hes laying his hea #back on his folded towel on the edge. 'what are you so happy about?' obanai looks over and sees it too 'hanging out with my friends is nice #'plural?' both of them look @ him 'yeah- we're friends right? ..can we be friends?' obanai doesnt answer and focuses back on kaburamaru #swimming around his arms. he glances over at them chatting between themselves about some minor thing- (either theyll scorn me or... or)#he takes off the towel covering his face- neither of them mention it immediately even if he catches them giving a glance or two #'do your scars make it hard to move your face? i think mine cut through the muscle. cant smile as much on this side' he looks at #sabito tapping his scarred cheek. giyuu's back to trying to sleep in the water 'not.. much.. its only deep near my mouth' said quieter #towards the end as he focused back on kabu (his prime excuse to avoid eye contact) sabito nodded and kept chatting about whatever- giyuu #quietly enjoying listening to them. kabu got too hot for the water and curled up next to giyuu's head on the towel. obanai actually enjoyin #himself around other people (than sanemi) its nice :) +theyre still on a mission together for a few more days so its not a one-off thing

Ok Anthony was referring to that twenty one pilots song and I know damn well he was definitely listening to this song on the break up so I had to look at the lyrics. It's just for fun.

Anthony told us before that he wanted to find his own voice. He wanted to be something different than Defy. And he was insecure about everything he does.

Ok this is so sad living your life but something small like a smell on the street just brings back all the memories you try to forget/ you actually forgot. But those memories were the best times you ever had. And the "how come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from?" line. I literally heard this line with different phrases from Anthony so much. And it was implying to him too.

And nothing really matters other than each other.

🥲

wish WE could turn back time to the good old days. It's so obviously them. Like yeah we know he wanted to go back to the good old days. That's why he met with Ian again, that's why they made this flashback podcast.

#smosh #ian hecox #anthony padilla #☀️🔍#idk i just imagined sad Anthony listening to this after they stopped talking #or worse when they were still friends but not close enough #im emotional dont touch me

oh my god i just finished the dark forest finally. 7/10 i suppose, i went through the first half or so of the book being really annoyed by luo ji but also enjoying the chapters where he shows up because unfortunately he was entertaining. still don't understand the imaginary girlfriend thing, it just feels like he needs someone to protect from the world which like ??? ok sure i guess, it just rubs me the wrong way personally. for the second half and especially the end i became luo ji's number one defender it's fine. for the rest, holy crap—the droplet, the microcosm of the universe on those runaway ships, the wallfacer project, luo ji drawing from rey diaz's plan, the attitude of the world towards him, the entire theory... wow

#i dont even know my brain's exploding #i don't think it's an incredibly great plot per se but it's enough to keep me interested and the concepts are interesting and thats enough #again shi qiang the mandatory emotional support. i was so touched when he said goodbye to luo ji even tho it was just a false alarm #also dongfang yanxu (btw her name??? homophone for 'the east lives on'??) and those two other captains using just their eyes to #communicate just like zhuang yan imagined... ough and then all that destruction #三体 #tbh was reminded of the trisolarians when zhang beihai started waxing on about the new morals the new humanity might have #make judgements without feeling and yet it killed him in the end #generally the moment luo ji wakes up and is almost killed 6 times (kind of funny tbh) shit literally just kept happening #also @ great depression 2. like the great ravine or smth? idk it felt close to cultural rev 2. greenpeace as a 人奸 organization💀💀💀💀💀💀#the aesthetics of trisolarians are great tho. first the droplet then the giant signaling device they send #so beautiful its something humans can't even imagine is a nice description. reminds me illogically of eschers art #王明军 the audiobook reader needs like 10 million awards actually. i feel like i didn't really think abt it when listening to book 1 #but his voice and narration is really good he reads with feeling which is incredible for when i dont want to keep reading #my post #i was very touched at the end tho he really said i'll become an alcoholic #the wallfacer project and its tolls on the saviors of the world or something #also a surprising amount of christianity references i feel #idk tho #three body problem #main gripes were that the switching of perspectives bored me lol the three retired old grandpas were alright #but i was bored out of my mind at zhang beihai's pov before shit started going down sorry dude #it annoys me how grandpas + chang weisi and all those other people kind of just get written out but i suppose this is not the target f #for science fiction anyways??

I thought you had a partner. Can't you get them to hug you?

So I call them my person bc they're not technically my partner 😅 we've liked each other for years, but they don't wanna do the whole long distance thing, so we're not actually dating. And bc of the long distance thing, I can't hug them, so yeah no I have nobody I can hug 😔

#not snz #we obviously have like an open thing going on bc we're not fr dating #so if either of us find someone irl to date then that's fine #but they've been the only person I've fr liked since i met them so #like i had crushes i guess but they were more like just for fun #like i didn't actually wanna date them it was like a celebrity crush but with my friends #i got uncomfortable when i found out one of them liked me back and it immediately killed any and all interest i had in them lmao #idk why I'm like this #anyway #my person isn't really big on touch either so no hugs for me probably even if they were close enough lmao #i only have one friend irl who i consistently hang out with and she doesn't like being touched either #which is great for me for the most part bc again I'm generally touch adverse #but right now not so much #i do have one friend/coworker who's usually physically affectionate but i can't initiate or he'll think something is wrong #like no I'm just needy don't perceive me lmao #it's fine I'll just bother my rabbit and my dog and hold them lmao #it's not the same but it'll have to do

I'm tired of dreaming about my dad. I know it's part of processing, but I am just so tired.

#speculation nation #negative/#sometimes theyre nice dreams where i have him back. except i still wake up sad.#sometimes theyre dreams where im trying to prevent what i know is going to come. but without fail i wake up. and he's already dead.#and then there are dreams like the one i just woke up from. where i know he's dead and im feeling the full force of grief once again #bawling and bawling in-dream. with enough force that it wakes me up.#and of course. i wake up sad from these too.#it makes me think about that passage i wrote for ITNL. well over a year ago. before the Year Of Death even began.#where i wrote about vash dreaming of wolfwood. with a similar sort of vibe to this.#i wrote that inspired by the death of my grandma. who i was close with and greatly troubled by her death.#even that had nothing on my dad though. no loss has ever felt this severe before.#it's been 5 months and sometimes i feel okay. but then i feel the ache deep in my chest again #and i know im never going to be fully free from this pain.#i want to go back to the person i was before i lost my dad. to before i lost my uncle.#i want to go back to early may of last year. where life seemed hopeful and i was minimally touched by death.#only 2 deaths from people close to me. 3 deaths if you count my childhood cat.#now im up to 5 deaths of people who were close to me. and 7 if you count my sweet baby boys.#can you believe that? 4 deaths ive grieved in the past year (and a bit). 2 more deaths of ppl i knew but wasnt close to.#and 2 of them were so genuinely life-altering that they changed me as a person. my uncle and then my dad.#i still dont know who i am now. i feel so lost. i look out at the piles of boxes of my dad's stuff and i feel so overwhelmed.#im supposed to go through them. i havent touched them in months. i dont know how to even begin.#and so i try my best to keep up with my cleaning and my schoolwork. it's about all that i can manage

got sad abt fawn’s little motel room again 😞

#gideon shut the hell up challenge #we were thinking abt it in canon but then thought abt it in v3/v3au so. now we have to talk abt those #themmy who gets to be the first to get invited over. it takes a bit to build up to it and then even after they all think they’re ready #it takes another few days to actually Work Up To It. themmy gets first pick bc they’re the least intrusive of the group #the ortegas are close to the group ofc but they are nosy and pushy but this is The Becker’s space. so they get told no when they ask #if they can tag along. (they ofc get approval later after a few times of themmy getting to visit #bc 1. they won’t stop asking but 2. they’re more comfortable w the permitted intrusion that they get a test run)#honestly I feel like one of the ortegas would offhandedly ask Whose room it is (bc they expect them each to have their own)#and the siblings are like no it’s Ours. plural. and then the topic gets dropped bc they’re skittish enough already they won’t push more rn #ohhh the besties giving them little house warming gifts to help spruce the place up but next time they go over it still looks just as plain #except u ask ‘hey what happened to [xyz]?’ and they retrieve it from wherever it’s squirreled away #solo!survivor au…. imagine having to go back to the motel room alone for the first time #you know where the traces of your siblings are hidden. but they aren’t in immediate sight so it feels so Empty.#digging out all of their belongings just to have them closer to you even if it goes against everything you’ve all done this whole time #maybe you don’t stay alone. maybe you invite an ortega over. maybe you invite both.#maybe they show up with a bottle of wine each and none of you say anything bc you don’t know what you even would #maybe they help you pack up everything to move apartments. maybe you don’t let them touch anything. maybe them just being there is enough

Ummmmm Pyrric and catsup and the space pirate guy* with the octopus tattoo were experiment buddies btw :3

#none of them signed up to be there but yk how it is #um. pirate guy isn’t nearly that close with the others. they were new #that carrier of shifter stuff really fucked up some plans lol #what do u do when ur funky regenerating lab rat turns into bighuge beast and slaughters u and ur team #ummmm pyr is very much on purpose not in touch with anyone else from the lab #but mayb catsup and octopus skull dude r in touch #idk how easy/hard that’d be seeing as they’re. space and ocean pirates. but still #catsup red blooded with bits of gold mixed in… for ketchup mustard… as result of experiments……. got their body running on some of pyrric’s #shit but not enough to do much more than pick them up quicker and keep them from scarring and give them sort of this unending ill feeling.#but they don’t ACTUALLY get sick so it’s fine. or if they do it doesn’t ever stick enough to get noticed #character rambles #puts these thoughts down bc ummm. they’ve been rattling in my brain and I need someone to know and syrins already in bed so I’d feel bad for #re-rambling stuff i worked out in chat with xem lll

i'm like. desperate to get back into doing music regularly but the thought of doing it by myself is really depressing. i could sing, but what i really want to do is sing with other people. i can't accompany myself because i only really have experience with wind instruments. i could start practicing recorder again, but recorder is also kind of a bummer to play on its own, especially after having the experience of playing in a small group. i could try to learn guitar, but i know i don't have the motivation to teach myself and i don't really have the money to spare for lessons.

i know if i don't want to do it alone, i have to be more proactive in either getting together with my few musical friends who live close enough and persuading them to do the kind of things i want to do (we have varied interests that don't always overlap), or finding an existing group that i can join (nobody near me is doing exactly the things i want to do and i don't have the contacts or the skill to get in touch with strangers and start something)

#whining complaining etc #every time i go to an early music concert i'm a little bit in despair fdkjhgkfdjghkjfg #i miss being in choir but i also got a little sick of the choir i was in pre-covid...lots of the rep just wasn't my thing #which was true in college also but i didn't mind bc i was so tight with the other singers #and i never got that close to anybody in adult choir #plus i kinda ghosted them during the post-covid comeback phase (which was still mid-covid tbh. though it was milder by then)#idk i was really depressed at the time and just didn't want to go. so i stopped going and stopped replying to emails. shitty behavior i kno #it was a big enough group that they were fine without me but i feel weird about getting back in touch (and i'm not sure i want to go back)#real life adventures

Took a nap in the middle of the day and had the most bizarre series of dreams, some were in fact nightmares, HOWEVER Ollie and Felix were in the last one??? Felix Catton continues to be the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my conscious or unconscious life???? All I got was one of the best and most real feeling kisses I've ever had in a dream, and I'm so mad I woke up. :(

cannot escape Saltburn or the Felix/Reader/Oliver fantasies even while asleep it seems...

(my tags are for posterity lol sorry but if you wanna read the full dream go right ahead. I reached the tag limit but all that was left was essentially the main text of this post lol)

#i will say the early part of the dream was very different. i Was jason momoa for a while there. also a child. also maybe peacemaker #evan Peters as magneto was tearing apart school buses and children and also he fucked my (whoever i was as jason momoa) mom which i saw??#then there was two of me (jason momoa)?? he also may have become peacemaker i might be misremembering. we were in the jungle #no metal so he wasnt a threat #except he was peacemaker and i (artie the writer in the body of jason momoa) am not a good fighter and he bullied me for it. womp womp #then we were saved by a tribe of superheroes who lived in the jungle and were definitely pitting us against each other #but i wasnt Jason momoa anymore except i was when i was swinging through the jungle like george of the jungle #but i was me when i got to the beach and started swimming and hunting for food and shoving every random piece of food into my mouth #except the eel which i was told i had to cook 😞#cooked the eel over a tealight at the beach camp/tribe which i was apparently part of even though i was meant to have been with the forest #also spoke to some irl collegues from the festivals i worked at last year and aparently as an 'initiate' to the tribe i and the others #have to find a place to sleep in the open #also that theres some kind of game???? some weird game that happens with the forest tribe initiates???? like hide and seek #and we on the beach only have a set time to prepare #immediately me and the rest of the beach initiates are like Get Fukt were not sleeping on the sand and gravitate towards #the weird warehouse based playground?? that was there for some reason?? and had so many security cameras??? what was my mind doing honestly #its under cover but the two other initiates im close to now dont feel like its secure enough to not be found #also the hide and seek aspect now has sinister undertones for those doing the hiding it seems. its more nightmare again #im a very awkward person irl with touch (its the autism lol) so it was big of me to hold hands with this dude #because we were running out of time to hide and i was afraiddddd #for the record i shouldnt have been lmfao #ANYWAYS idk when or who gives me the tip that i should hide on the other side of these weird black bed frame situations #but im assured by a girl i went to uni with (maddy i lov u thanks for cameoing in my dream???) that it works???#so im squeezed up in the corner behind this loft bedframe and it turns out the hiders can see like it's a sunny daytime #seekers are going around in the dark #makes it much less spooky #also it means i just got to watch fi and ollie (and others) being hot and essentially hunting people down #(hm do i have a thing for predator/prey dynamics??? that's future arties problem to think about)#the point is fi and ollie find my friend maddy #who is just in front of me but i duck out of their grasp consistently but they're weirdly persistent so much that even maddy comments on it
