the local hospital (which houses most of our outpatient medical specialists in the area as well) is a teaching hospital, so every july i get assigned to a new psychiatric resident to prescribe my medications and periodically assess me. every year i think about making a powerpoint presentation or a cute little zine with all their intake questions answered, including the ones they will forget to ask for four months. you know, key personal facts and a timeline of my medical and prescription history and some FAQs previous residents have found helpful. little sections for "meds i have failed and why" and "diagnoses since proven incorrect" so they don't have to waste time revisiting those. however i worry about what this might reveal about me to someone who really wants a career in studying what's wrong with people.
#especially because it's psychiatry!!!#like they WILL ask me for the quick hits list of traumatic life events but it's kind of weird if i write that out in advance#it would be a fun little creative design project though i think#i could even leave space on each page for them to take notes lmao

the roomies!!! i originally designed this ososan oc trio in full about a year ago to write on an rp blog. it's not really active rn, but i still want to talk and post about 'em, so here they are! just basic rundowns, but i'd be curious to hear which one (if any) is your fav of the three (feel free to leave it in the tags?? if u want!)
bonus transparent of them all together:
aaand some rambling under the cut about their designs
anzu:
i wanted to use orange as a character colour bc it's one that wasn't already used in the matsu rainbow, and i had a concept of a gyaru character named anzu kicking around in my head for a long time as well, so here we are. miwa from the mixer ep inspired the eyeshadow (orange rather than miwa's blue obv, to keep with her colour theme) and delinquent totoko's design inspired her ombre dyejob! i went with a blonde-to-orange look as a nod to anzu's namesake fruit (apricot).
the strands framing her face are split into 3 sections at the end (2/3 are grouped together and 1/3 flips in the other direction) which is a little nod to her being one of 3 siblings (eldest), as well as the "三" character used in her surname (mikado) meaning 3. the rest of her hairstyle is just because i thought it looked cute, though.
ososan's style is more simplified, but i wanted to convey makeup that was a little bold, but cute (long false lashes, eyeshadow, & and a soft pink or nude glossy lip). clothing-wise, she mixes and matches a few different substyles (agejo and onee are prominent, with some ane, tsuyome, and general old school gal influences as well?), with a particular fondness for animal prints, esp. tiger print. (that said, orange tiger print doesn't seem all that common in gyaru clothes, so in-universe i like to think that the top pictured above was originally a black-and-white zebra(?) stripe print she thrifted and dyed at home--close enough!)
her nails day to day are usually medium length since she has a lot of hobbies that involve her hands and anything longer makes those things a bit more cumbersome. sometimes they're decoden/bedazzled, sometimes they're just painted a cute colour/pattern, depends on the day! and i think she opts for press-ons over extensions for longer nails, since it's cheaper.
ran:
i'm just a bitch who loves purple, that's the reason for this one. i think the hime cut with shorter bangs is nice because you can showcase the eyebrows (i think eyebrows can really elevate a character design so i gave all 3 their own brow shape) without worrying about the lines for the eyebrows and bangs intersecting in an annoying way when you draw it. i like shorter, slightly sharp eyebrows like these because they're easy to draw, lol. i think they're usually furrowed like she's displeased with something, but that may just be her resting face. i also thought this blunter, sharper-looking cut (bold, standoffish) was a fun contrast to anzu's flippy half-updo (bright, bouncy) and yuzu's short, wavy hair (languid, relaxed).
5 piercings on each ear (2 spiked helix & 3 lobe) = 5 siblings including ran (4 older brothers). the other reason for this number of piercings was that her namesake flower (orchid) had--i thought--5 petals, but as it turns out i'm a fool, it's actually 3 petals (including the lip) and 3 sepals??? ah, well.
clothing-wise, influences from various punk/vkei styles alongside some rokku gyaru. (maybe anzu introduced her to this one?) this brash style is the total inverse of how she was expected to dress growing up. (when she and anzu first met, she was an OL with no piercings, undyed hair, and positively miserable, but that was a number of years ago now.) i'm really not reinventing the wheel with "small and angry", but y'know, we have fun here.
yuzu:
is teal distinct enough from blue to count as its own colour? i think so. for yuzu, i really loved the concept of a deadpan-looking character who is very much not the straightman, who in fact wants very badly to be the funnyman 99% of the time. that kind of straight-faced but silly comedic character is always really fun to me.
half-lidded/heavy-lidded eyes paired with thick brows are always a winner to me fsr, and i wanted to give her a more "handsome" looking face with a bit more of a defined jaw than you typically see on women in ososan. as a treat. i wanted her to look a bit like a mysterious prettyboy, but she's not actually mysterious, she's just a space cadet. (and very straightforward about her thoughts and feelings, saying them with little fuss or thought.) expectation vs reality, people deciding what you're like based on their own perception vs what you're actually like, etc. etc.
i don't have anything deep to say about her hairstyle, but maybe that's how yuzu would like it, what you see is what you get. (again, eyebrows vs hair... let that eyebrow scar that i gave her for no reason shine.) as for clothing, she prefers things that are easy to move around in, so her style is the most "matsuno"-like (t-shirts, hoodies, basketball shorts, sweats, etc.). in particular, she likes shirts with phrases, usually in english, that are funny or almost make sense but not quite ("for background visual gags" and "for the english speakers in the audience").
#osomatsu san#osomatsu san oc#ososan oc#no clue what tag ppl use the most#fighting for my life to post this against my weird embarrassment abt showing my ocs outside of an rp blog#like yeah heres the little people i created in my head. yeah i made them to play pretend with. jesus christ#doing the equivalent of throwing this onto everyone's porch and then running away shielding my eyes#peach art#peach ocs#i had it in my head that anzu was a medabots fan as a kid which is where her fondness for robot characters comes from#wasn't even thinking about shake and ume LMAO i should draw that interaction tho#yuzu is THE hangyodon stan of all time btw. and that's half the reason she's so good at crane games. gotta win merch of the boy#ran liking ferrets im just like yeah i think she would like their little hands. childhood special interest perhaps#anzuranyuzu pj set perhaps i'll put her in a ferret kigurumi#anzu's would be a tiger and yuzu's idk....... pigeon? seal? up in the air#ran#anzu#yuzu#listed their age range instead of exact age because [gestures vaguely] ososan ages..... time...........#generally speaking i think yuzu is 1 year (maybe 2) younger than the matsus and ran and anzu are maybe 1-2 years older??? thereabouts#ocmatsu

Blue Lock Fic Recs
I’ve been meaning to make one of these for a while now. I truly cannot state how much I enjoyed these fics so if a few, or even just one, stands out to you, please give it a shot. I’ve split the list into three sections, kaisagi, bachisagi and miscellaneous but I have wayyyy more fics so I’ll probs make at least a part 2, maybe a part 3.
KAISAGI
I Pay the Price, You’re the Answer to the Pain by yasuna
Teen | Completed | 42.8k words | 8/8
Romantic Hate-Flirting | Homophobia In Football | Angst | Character Study | Developing Romance
It's been one kiss. One kiss that didn't mean shit. But captured by the cameras and broadcasted for the entire world to see, it has the potential to end both of their careers right then and there.
Kaiser and Isagi navigating the world of football whilst staring on a reality tv show. The banter between Isagi and Kaiser is so fun and I love the incorporation of real life events and controversies.
Oat Milk (and Other Irredeemable Vices) by @caluette
Teen | Completed | 26.5k words | 3/3
AU - Coffee Shops & Cafés | AU - No Blue Lock | Enemies to Lovers | Getting Together
Yoichi Isagi works at a coffee shop on campus, and likes to believe he has the virtue of being patient with the people he encounters. He does not, however, file Michael Kaiser under "people." Or, the coffee shop au where they hate each other. Until they don't.
So cute. Dramatic musical theatre major Kaiser and fed up minimum wage worker Isagi. Brilliant characterisation. Love the dialogue between Kaiser and Isagi and their snarky-ness.
Kintsukuroi by laylayli
Mature | Completed | 54.3k words | 3/3
Processing Grief | Kaiser-Centric | Mending Relationships | It starts Bad But Gets Better
'“Kaiser,” he starts to say, “I’m sorry if I’m overstepping, but are you really okay?” And he’s not sure, even afterwards, what it is that makes this his breaking point. Whether it’s the fact that he’s so far away from home, feeling like he’s unmoored himself from reality in this surreal, unfamiliar place, or whether he’s just so tired, so defenceless without the fire burning through him and its fumes obscuring the things he does not want to handle. He’s not sure, if it’s because Isagi is the farthest thing from a friend or the closest thing he has to familiarity right now, but he hears himself say, “My father died,” out loud, for the first time since he got the news.' * sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you have been ruined - ocean vuong
Kaiser meeting the Isagi family and learning how to accept help and kindness. Love Kaiser internal dialogue throughout the fic and the constant push and pull between enjoying his time with Isagi and his parents but hating how it reminds him of his own familial relationships, or lack there-of. (Ness and his relationship with Kaiser is also a highlight)
BACHISAGI
Like glass from Sandy Ground by Ethereally & @putsch
Teen | Completed | 7.2k words | 1/1
Aromatic Asexual Isagi Yoichi | Pre-Relationship | Getting Together | Post-Canon
Isagi and Bachira have been best friends for eight years, and pro footballers for six. Isagi knows how Bachira takes his coffee and how many charms are on his phone, is reminded of Bachira when he sees sunflowers or nutmeg in the spice shelf. Bachira can trace every freckle on Isagi’s cheeks and count the moles on his back like constellations in the sky. Isagi and Bachira are not together.
I truly cannot emphasise more how much this fic means to me. I have read it at least 6 times and have cried every. single. time. There’s a specific quote that sends me into tears anytime I think about it (I’m tearing up as I write this). It’s such heartwarming, comforting and beautifully written fic.
Orange Juice by totallyrottentomatoes
Mature | Ongoing | 63.6k words | 5/10
Post-Canon | AU - Olympics | Slow Burn | Unreliable Narrator | Angst with a Happy Ending | Implied/Referenced Homophobia
Isagi Yoichi returns to Japan in preparation for the summer Olympics for the first time in three years, and Meguru finds him again.
The pining is so strong aughhh. Love the incorporation of the original characters. My favouite type of post-canon fic where life gets in the way but the love never leaves.
Sideline Love Story by bogreport
Explicit | Ongoing | 55.6k words | 8/29
AU - No Blue Lock | Most Characters Are Professional Soccer Players | Slow Burn | Feelings Realization | Parenting | Light Angst |
While visiting his family in Japan during the off-season, 25-year-old Bastard München player Isagi "volunteers" to coach his nephew's U-6 team. Enter: the most high-maintenance crew of soccer dads ever to make a scene on the sidelines. Although one of the kids has an older brother who Isagi wouldn't mind getting to know better... Meanwhile Bachira, his arm and his heart both freshly broken, tries to convince himself that while love is fleeting, his monster is forever.
Eeek the kids are so cute in this fic. Isagi being head over heels and not realising it. Bachira developing a crush but hesitating to persue it having just gotten out of a relationship. The author mentions that the “fic's original brainrot form, it was more like a sitcom with an ensemble cast and short silly ‘episodes’ rather than a coherent story” which makes for really fun chapter and a real long slow burn feel.
MISC
Whipper!! by bigdamnher0
Bachira Meguru/Isagi Yoichi/Itoshi Rin
Teen | Ongoing | 15.5k words | 3/6
Bachisagi Are Childhood Friends | Angst and Hurt/Comfort | Climbing As A Metaphor for Self-Actualization or Self-Destruction (Take Your Pick) | Injury | Mild PTSD
Isagi was getting used to the shape of Rin's attention: How he jammed his fingers into Bachira’s back whenever his spine sagged without tension. Barked, “WRONG,” every time they made a move that wasn’t his exact flavor of climbing. Called Isagi’s latest boulder, “fucking lukewarm,” like he was some kind of underpaid undersecretary, delivering him coffee for the day. Still, Rin never failed to hold up his end of the bargain in this tenuous belaytionship: to show them some damn good climbing. The little flame in Isagi’s chest was back. It licked him black and blue. After a near-fatal climbing accident, Rin resolved to never fail again. Isagi swore he'd take the wind out of this pretty boy's sails. And Bachira? All he wanted was a soft landing, just this once. Going up and growing up; cord of threes and all.
Rinbachisagi and bouldering/rock climbing, what more could you want. The way the author writes is so captivating and such an easy read despite all the technical terms used.
I’ll Find my Own Bravado by cygnusknights
Bachira Meguru/Isagi Yoichi/Itoshi Rin
Teen | Completed | 9.6k words | 1/1
Post-Canon | Existential Crisis on a Christmas Cruise | Isagi Yoichi & Itoshi Sae | Isagi-Centric
Meguru and Rin are hooking up. And Isagi… doesn’t hate it, but he’ll certainly have an existential crisis about it on the trio’s Mediterranean Christmas cruise, where he runs into Sae and has a weird holiday not-hookup.
The platonic saesagi is definitely the star of the show. The small Oikawa cameo was also very funny.
Despite the Overwhelming Odds, Tomorrow Came by @icarianiscariot
Itoshi Rin & Shidou Ryuusei
Teen | Completed | 19.7k words | 5/5
AU - No Blue Lock | Suicidal Thoughts | Depression | Platonic Relationships | Absent/Neglectful Parents | Angst with a Happy Ending
"Rin," Shidou repeats. "Where are you?" "I'm—" and fuck, it's so embarrassing, isn't it? The Sae in his head sneers at how lukewarm and pathetic this all is. Begging for someone to ask him to live. "Um, I'm at the bay, up on the bridge. "Silence for a few beats, and then he can hear the clink of Shidou's ridiculously oversized keychain, followed by the slam of the door and his car coming to life on the other end of the line. Rin isn't okay, and the only person he can think to turn to is his shitty brother's annoying boyfriend. A fic on platonic bonds, little things that make big differences, learning compassion toward both others and the self, and coming to terms with being alive. More or less.
A certified Blue Lock classic in my opinion. A must-read even!
On a Wire by merulus
Karasu Tabito/Otoya Eita
Teen | Completed | 128.3k words | 22/22
AU - College/University | Getting Together | Panic Attacks | Fluff & Humour | Trans Karasu Tabito
As a junior in college pursuing his passion for soccer while also putting just as much focus into having a solid post-graduation career path, Tabito Karasu honestly thought he wouldn't have enough time for romance. And especially given how his last relationship had ended, he wasn't even sure he would be able to deal with that kind of stress; he wasn't exactly a fan of letting someone in just to get hurt by them. He would rather stay on track to graduating with honors even if it meant being alone. But somehow that goddamned Eita Otoya was able to sneak his way through all of his defenses, painfully securing a place in his heart. They had been both roommates and teammates since the beginning of freshman year, and by now they also had easily solidified themselves as each other's best friend. They recently moved into an on-campus apartment with their other friend Kenyuu Yukimiya, and life was good. Karasu happened to have feelings for Otoya, but he had had this affliction for the better half of two years so it was something he was unfortunately just trying to get used to. He tried to ignore it most of the time since Otoya didn't feel the same; he was straight. Sometimes it really didn't feel that way, though.
Part 2 of a series but it can be read alone (definitely read part 1 if you enjoyed this tho)
#blue lock#bllk#fic rec#blue lock fic rec#bachisagi#kaisagi#fic recs#bcis#kiis#rnbcis#rinbachisagi#tabieita#otkr#im looking though this list and realising that almost all of them are either no blue lock aus or post-canon lmao#i swear i like canon typical fics but i guess theres a lot of limitations due to the nature of blue lock#also this looks better on desktop cause idk how to fix the weird line spaces in some of the indented paragraphs

do you ever think about how Ohkubo extremely casually dropped the fact that Spirit & Kami were teen parents & then proceeded to never expound upon that fact or bring it up ever again despite it explaining a whole lot about them & Maka
#I think a big part of why I'm so attached to/interested in spirit as a character is because he objectively has A LOT going on in his life.#but because he was created to fill that stock pervy comedic-relief anime side-character archetype we never get to see any of it examined.#or even brought up at all for the most part#like spirit apparently comes from a long line of death weapons who despite having been loyal to lord death for generations are never ever#mentioned & who spirit himself never mentions despite carrying on the family tradition (although he's not unique in that regard tbh)#at 12-13 years old he becomes stein's weapon partner & in his own words it became “[spirit's] job to control [stein].”#another kid with a laundry list of mental health & behavioral issues that spirit probably wasn't super prepared to help “control”#(personally I think that this “job” of spirit's was a duty he took upon himself rather than something lord death necessarily told him to do)#then just ~5 years later he 1) loses/rejects said weapon partner & probably best friend after some really major boundaries were crossed#2) becomes a husband & father at just 18#(& in his own words a broke 18 year old at that. another point towards him not being in contact with any family if they're even alive)#3) becomes technically one of the most important people in the world once he ascends to being a death weapon.#not necessarily in that exact order but certainly in quick succession.#& then we fast forward to canon & spirit's at best a guy who drinks way more than he probably should & at worst a functioning alcoholic#who's only A MONTH into being divorced for his habitual infidelity & is in the really weird position of being the primary caretaker of his#daughter who (rightfully) hates him despite him having zero custodial rights over her.#& imo he seems to have no friends in death city before stein & the other death scythes return despite generally being a people person.#like. spirit is kind of the epitome of should've been at the club lmao#soul eater#spirit albarn#kami albarn#meta (kind of. not really lol)

The "Daniel is only hyped cause he laughs and smiles a lot" is genuinely the worst take you can have about this lmao.
Daniel Ricciardo is, along with Lewis, THE most recognizable face and name in motorsport outside of the F1 fans bubble. Therefore, he is extremely valuable in terms of marketability. He is also an 8-time race winner. For that to be dismissed and to say he's average as if the past 2 years erased all his accomplishments is insane lmao.
Being an accomplished driver AND one of the most marketable athletes in your sport makes you valuable as fuck.
#my post#and i am not a delulu daniel girlie lmao#i say it how it is#this move is gonna need to prove a lot#and i feel bad for nyck not getting anything from anyone#but the way some *max fans* are acting is sooo dumb lmao#you can not like him#you can think he's gonna flop whatever#but to dismiss his accomplishments and his power in the sport?#do you hear yourself? do you not know who he is?#i am a delulu max girlie and i go to war for him#but he is NOT on the same caliber of marketability#outside of dutchies and hardcore max fans#which is why max and daniel as a duo is so powerful cause they balance each other out#and daniel can bring out the best in max#the max we the hardcore fans get to see *very rarely* but others dont#come on now lmao#the think pieces are so weird#and the constant digs are also weird#you know you can black list his name#right???#ha ha so funny daniel flopped at mclaren ha ha yuki is gonna outperform#some of you need to learn when your jokes go from funny to annoying as shit

Books of 2024: GRAVEYARD SHIFT by M. L. Rio.
I really liked IF WE WERE VILLAINS back when it came out, so I was excited for the same author to do Creepy Fucked Up Fungus and Questionable Scientific Ethics: The Insomnia Book.
This was fun! Very short (my copy is only 108 pages), and it takes place over the course of one (1) sleepless night (which, coincidentally, is how I read it), but I enjoyed it for what it was. I've seen some people in reviews wishing it were longer, but I thought we got to know all the characters pretty well for a story that happens in less than 10 hours, and I had a good time.
#books of 2024#graveyard shift#m.l. rio#books#book photos#i can recommend pounding coffee to get you through the wee hours but i canNOT recommend chainsmoking about it lol#i liked how all the characters had very different lives that led them to the same place on this academic campus every night!#and i liked their weird group dynamic too actually#and their distinct personalities--none of them felt like they WOULD know each other in daylight actually (except maybe tamar) but--#--i liked that a lot too#so yeah this was fun! not like earth shattering or anything but a good little graveyard romp with vaguely academic vibes#i am however a little grumpy at the pricepoint on the hardback given how it felt in my hands lmao#that's a me problem though and a capitalism problem XD#i wanted hardback because i have her other one hardback#i'm glad it's hardback but. the paper. was not gr8#i'll have to dig VILLAINS out of storage and compare#FUNGUS FUN INSOMNIA NOT FUN BUT AT LEAST THEY HAD A GROUP PROJECT ABOUT IT#glad i put this on my nano adjacent list too it was Fitting XD

If I’m not wrong about what I perceive, what’s the thought process behind having the (ugly) baby Angels have what looks to be a finger nail at the top of their head, but then later in life that disappears? Or becomes a fin? Or does skin grow over it?
YAYYY HI TUIF TY FOR THE ASK AS ALWAYS👍👍👍👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
so the nail is there cos its stuck to a whole ass finger👍 angels used to have a boney hornlike sail which i thought was stupid(how were they gonna burrow w a massive cone stuck 2 their head??) so i changed it lol
^^ the yucky & stupid knob-head vs the cool & awesome finger-head vv
lorewise tho the fingernails r there as an egg membrane/pouchmate shredder that falls off as they mature & r also leftovers from when angels looked like little mole guys :)
^^ a better look at the baby nails ft. a cliffs imp that isnt super thrilled abt being manhandled lol
#TY 4 THE ASKKKKK I LOVE ASKS#this post made me realise i really ought to redraw the skeleton & baby posts holy shitttt they look weird now#wont do it yet tho i got other shit i gotta smash out first#ill add it to tha list lmao#owo whats this#angel tag!!! wahoo

i need a reality cooking show where there’s a neurodivergent guest judge for every challenge and the task is to make a standard household dish while catering for their preferences and needs. like it’s not competitive, the people on the show are just regular humans trying to make spag bol without actually adding tomato, or chicken wraps but they can’t use 50% of regular toppings because the very apologetic twenty-year-old on the panel will feel sick if you so much as mention avocado
and it would be a feel-good show where the guest judges are like thank you so much now i get to enjoy pizza for the first time!! i’ve never liked it but you’ve been so considerate and now i get what all the fuss is about this is my new fav food :D
nds being looked after… regular people learning how to cater for us without compromising on quality of food and diet…… give it to me now
#neurodivergent#adhd#autism#look i just think it’d be cool#a nice way to teach viewers at home how to look after their nd kids#trying to make dishes with simple texture and a variety of nutrients and stuff#if i was on the guest panel it would be so hard to explain what food they can use lmao#“hi… i like skittles… i can’t list the foods i dislike so just come ask me every time you consider an ingredient i’d love to help :)#partially inspired by dinner last night where i substituted all the salad sauce and halumi that was meant to go in our burgers for a sausage#like just a sausage and bbq sauce#and i got to enjoy my little meal and they got to enjoy their weird complex halumi burgers#everyone is happy

I love when people leave a piece of themselves with a vinyl. Underlining song titles on the sleeve, writing their name somewhere, putting a sheet with reviews or notes inside etc <3333
#one of my roger daltrey records had a piece of paper from a who best of with a list of dates when the previous owner listened to it#only three times in 1985 1990 and 1993 💔#and the sleeve of my copy of can't wait to see the movie is of the original 1987 usa pressing??? which is so cool#but the vinyl itself is from the 1987 germany pressing lmao weird but idc both are originals and i got it for €7#checked on discogs and apparently people sell the us pressing of which i have the sleeve for around €100???#might go through all my records and type in the serial numbers to figure out which pressings i actually have lol#the rarest ones i didn't even search for on discogs because i was too lazy to go through all releases#mel talks

I chose a good year to join. food is always on the mind#food is many things. mayhaps everything#okay I will. probably try and ink this page of the comic now. or I take a nap we will see#have a good nite lads! enjoy the process

I think I'm gonna start referring to my psychiatrist as my drug dealer because it feels like a more of a honest title of what they do
#I'm like «this shit is weak as fuck»#and they just go «ok try this one»#I ask whether they can maybe help me find the root cause and fix it but they act like they don't know anything about how to do that#I tried the whole list of drugs they could offer and none of it worked#my previous psych literally just pulled « that's weird idk lmao I'm too bald for this»#and then just ignored me#my current seems at least to care a little more#insomnia

5 Characters Poll Game
tagged by: @ireallyamabear @astromechs and @bikananjarrus and possibly others? lmao sorry guys and also thank you
rules: make a poll with five of your all-time favorite characters and then tag five people to do the same. see which character is everyone's favorite.
this is so hard but we'll give it a shot since i haven't made enough polls yet this week
yes i limited myself to 2 star wars characters - my first favorite and my current favorite
not sure who's not already done this but no-pressure tags for @e-the-village-cryptid @twilightstoned @rebelandrichgirl @tremendouskoalachild @ladydedlock
#this is such a weird list lmao#i need all these people in a room together#have i made literally a billion polls this week?#it feels like i've made literally a billion polls this week
