“omg I have stuff to do today I need to get up why am I so tired”
the leif i absentmindedly doodled past 11pm because I suddenly found the airbrush tool to be Very fun:
#not really tagging this as anything cause this isn’t art I put any effort into#I am just pissed off at myself lmao#spoilers in the upcoming tags#the majority of this post’s content is gonna be in the tags lmao#I watched a vid yesterday abt cordyceps. what a terrifying thing#iirc ants will actually carry away infected ants to protect the rest of them. isn’t that insane#ants are social bugs and I don’t think moths are (look I love bug fables but idk shit about bugs)#but it got me thinkin#ya think that if anyone else found out abt the whole leif cordyceps thing they might try to quarantine him or smthn?#his cordyceps couldn’t infect anyone else but moths so it’s not like the greater public is in danger#but idk if it would be seen as acceptable for him to hang out around muze and tod when he has a parasitic fungus that could kill them#eh who knows!! i am just spitballing.#my brain was just tossing around fic ideas. fics I will never write#like what if zasp knew. like when he was trying to save him from the scorpion attack he realized#‘oh shit there is a fungus in this guy’#like that wound was pretty deep right. he’d probably definitely see some cordyceps hanging out in there#even if he didn’t know exactly what it was#anyway idk what I’m talking about. I’m gonna shadow at the vet clinic in like. four hours#so I should probably get out of bed and stop thinking about parasitic fungi#but rambling abt bug fables while I sit in bed listening to pop music is so fun……

(face in hands) (again) men will simply feel the walls closing in around them
#my brother got covid from hanging out with his boyfriend. again.#and by the sounds of it they want to quarantine at our house.#ih his room which is. you know. directly adjacent to my room.#aaaaa and we have a trip coming up in two weeks and then my job starts in full and just#if he comes here i’m literally leaving to go stay at my partner’s instead#but it’s killing me because i’ll have to leave my pc and tablet behind and just#aaaaaaa i feel stressed i feel stressed#i’ve been in an exhausted fog for the past two weeks and it feels like i can’t get anything done#it’s like time has just been slipping by me and it makes me So So Upset#like what do you mean we’re more than halfway through august!!!!#and yet also: FUCK!!!!! I TOTTED THROUGH AUGUST!!!!!#i’m coming dangerously close to feeling the way i did during spring semester#when my brain is craving a release like crack cocaine but it’s not coming#every other day i’m dealing with work crap and hassling with irl things#and when i’m not doing that i’m rotting at my desk fatigued out of my mind#trying my best not to pass out until 9pm when it’s reasonable to do so#just staring at whatever video i can put on and blaring it loudly so i don’t fall asleep#aaaaa…………..i want out of this………. i’m on my break and yet i still want out aaaaaa……..

I feel it closing in
With every ping of my phone
Another friend wanting to talk
Or hang out
Or grab drinks
And I get it, this is what we do now
As a culture
This is how we "society"
But my introvert ass wants bed and a book
And I don't want to talk
Or be friends
Or exist
For a couple of months at least
God, I think I miss 2020
#sanddollarpoems#spilled ink#poem#poetry#quick write#MY TRUTH#confessions of an introvert#introvert things#please#can we all just fucking quarantine again?#is that too much to ask?#all these goddamn extroverts are killing me#maybe I'll fake my death#and move overseas#I'm taking suggestions#halp

i saw you’re updating your 5+1 soon, yes? i’m so excited!!
It is in the works...I've had trouble siting down and putting my mind to anything for awhile but I am determined to lock in for this chapter...which is set during lockdown (haha, see what I did there?)
Well this is what you might call the pitch..or the write up, basically close to final form really:
No, I'm kidding. I do not remember writing the Covid makes you gay thing lol but it will be set in the early months of the Pandemic and kinda filling in the gap from the beginning of the lockdown to before the Election stuff covered in 2020:AYIR. I find that canon dynamic switch insanely interesting, and since this fic is trying to stay close to canon with the addition of *they've been fucking the entire goddamn time* it seems only logical to make those gay wannabe pop star cowboys get drunk on tequila and fuck it out.
I'm glad there are fans of this one out there! It's a lot of fun for me to try and write out their canon dynamic in this way and I've really been jonesing to write my own lockdown fic for awhile now, so as the ideas are bouncing around in my brain I will spew them out onto paper for anyone who's interested in reading
#i mean it isnt like incredibly 'a lockdown fic'#but it is at its premise lol#more so the teen country pop sensation stuff leads to fucking#but a lot of just *quarantine things* and dialogue :)#also would ppl kill me if the +1 when theyre sober is#a johnny thing#lol i mean i havent decided fully but im leaning that way atp#i guess it depends if s17 comes out before i get there lololol#anyway ty for the excitement!!#ask

#WHAT IF I FUCKING KILL MYSELF. WHAT THEN.#IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT AND I FUCKING HOPE YOU KNOW IT AND I HATE THAT I STILL KNOW YOUR SISTERS' BIRTHDAYS#AND THAT I REMEMBER ALL THE SUMMERS WE SPENT TOGETHER AND OUR FIRST YEAR OF MIDDLE SCHOOL AND WHEN WE WENT INTO THE WOODS TO PLAY#HIDE AND SEEK WITH OUR SISTERS AND WHEN I WAS SCARED TO DEATH THAT YOU FEEL DOWN THE MOUNTAIN AND WHEN I MADE YOU A FLOWER CROWN#AND WHEN WE WENT INTO THE RIVER AND WHEN IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND WHEN YOU CALLED ME YOUR BEST FRIEND AND WHEN WE WENT OUT ON OUR BIKES AFTER#QUARANTINE. YOU WERE MY FUCKING BESTFRIEND AND I LOVED YOU AND I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE MY FRIEND BACK.#FUCK.#sorry.#cate.txt

Louder Than Thunder by TDWP came back to me in a dream¹ and I just think it'd make a good backdrop against which to stage LL!Martyn's grief and subsequent caving in to the influence of the Watchers.
I imagine that the loss of Jimmy, Mumbo and the Southlands to Grian, would also throw him all the way back to Renchanting. His mind would be churning away at the happy endings that never were. The unfairness of it all!
Now there's no Jimmy, no Mumbo, no Red King and no Hand, and Martyn is owed better. He was forced to moved away but not without taking the frostbite with him. He built himself a new home, set it alight, and it offered him no comfort. If all it would take to see things back to proper place was to carve a prayer into the body of a brother —well. Would it really be such an unfair price to pay?
Unsheath your sword and have at him, soldier. Let the thunder roll.
¹ Dramatisation for commercial purposes.
#red spring did indeed begin but it had nothing to do with Martyn#red spring was ren the hermit springing anew from the remnants of the red king of the snowy mountain#fragile and touch-hungry and seeking to bask his battered self under the sun of new devotion even (fairy fort you will always be famous <3)#however a world of blood and sport is not kind to delicate creatures#i could talk forever about how ren poses danger to the status quo which is why the world chose to spit him out eventually#but this is a c!martyn post#c!martyn who yearns for healing but refuses to face the pain#martyn. who would kill an old friend in exchange for the echo of another whom he betrayed and berated in life#he's so fucked up in the head and it's contagious. i must be quarantined#mcyt#trafficblr#third life#last life#martyn itlw#renchanting#the southlanders#elle.txt#don't mind me i've been watching spartacus and it has me in quite the mood (?)

back in my "seething about being on sick leave" era again
#:)#you know how lame it is to be stuck at home beholden to the will of the hospital and not be able to really go anywhere/do anything#i think it's killing me because i plain and simply don't feel sick like at all! completely symptomless health issues here#but i'm still stuck with my only realistic options being either play videogames or write (but not for any uni-affiliated projects)#and idk when i don't leave the house for too long the Horrors set in#and even though i actually only have like one hospital appointment every two weeks i am overwhelmed by the feeling of being Stuck#kinda stirring up the same emotions as 2020 quarantine except this time the world's still going on without me lol#howwwwwwwwwwwwwww do people actually endure such isolating frustrating conditions long term. i think im gonna go insane

god fucking damn my life, bro. I find a couple of ants in my room and immediately freak out. I start feeling shit crawling on me and turn on a flashlight to go look for some hidden source, already hyperventilating. And then I remember I woke up late and didn't take my morning meds. Girl, we have a balcony and my mom keeps plants there. Calm the fuck down. You like having the window open. It's FINE. It's just ants.
Last weekend I skipped my morning meds two days in a row cuz I woke up late and I feared sertraline insomnia - which, yes, in hindsight was a bad idea - and on Sunday I had a full meltdown. Granted, also period-related, but god fucking damn it. I tore my whole room apart. I couldn't vacuum under my bed easily because of my desk's placement so I decided I was going to move furniture around and reorganize my room. On a Sunday afternoon, in the summer and with tendonitis. All cuz I saw some ants and couldn't verify with my own two eyes every corner of the room. And because I couldn't physically move the wardrobe and bookcase, I guess I took out my anxiety with the remaining furniture. And god fucking damn it, here I am again a week later.
I keep finding ants (3) running on my desk all of a sudden while I'm SITTING THERE and have no idea ("no idea") where they're coming from (engage the phone flashlight routine). I moved this bitch AWAY from the window and they're fucking HUNTING me or smth (it's 35ºC out, girl). I hate my life. And I hate that any suggestion of bugs makes me start feeling shit on my skin that isn't there. Dumb fucking brain. Anyway I need sleep and to take my sertraline asap or else.
#i can't express to you how badly I was doing last week#my mom wasn't home when I was remodeling but I was fantasizing about screaming:#''take those plants out of my side of the veranda or i'll throw them OR myself off the balcony''#i'm not suicidal don't worry it would be for the drama of the ultimatum#and then I took my meds the next day and I was calmer lol#but this has happened before. i believe this entire formication / almost delusional parasitosis started cuz i'm allergic to mosquitoes#and as a kid who lived with 3 grown people and had no power over them to close their damn windows - I attracted all the bugs#and I couldn't sleep and I heard and felt them near me and it was a horrible time#still at 23 i can only either pass out from exhaustion or more often find and kill them before I can sleep#when I was 14 or smth our cat also got fleas and I spent the most paranoids nights of my life suffering cuz they got into my bed#last year I slept over at a friend's house for a night and brought back what must've been a SINGLE flea#I'm not kidding you when I say I quarantined my room and slept in the living room for over a month. i was panicking#(i've since started anxiety meds)#I legit feared we had bedbugs and was looking at every single outlet and corner of my bed#our cat recently caught fleas and I combed through him to pick them out every day. that experience actually calmed me down about them#but it's when you can't see them / where they're hiding that's the problem#(it also taught me to let my cat in my room and then fleas become his problem LMAO)#(cuz his long fur 24/7 is way better than my legs for 8h I've been told lol)#anyway point is I get freaky when I suspect bugs are hiding somewhere#and that they're gonna bite me and I'm going to get super itchy and not be able to sleep#i start feeling shit on my skin and yes i know that's not normal. and I have to look at it to convince my brain to ignore it#i get jumpscared by my HAIR falling on my arms girl. that's embarrassing#what i'm ANGRY about is that this is about ANTS. who want NOTHING to do with me and every to do with idk leaves and crumbs#and I KNOW they're from the veranda. but nooooo someone is dumb and skipped her meds and now she's withdrawing and freaking out. about ANTS#EMBARRASSING.#as i'm typing this i'm scratching at myself for what is most likely 1) nothing 2) my hair or 3) cat fur#i'd bring this up to my therapist but he abandoned me </3 like they all do </3 i'm gonna develop abandonment issues at this rate LMAO#so uh anyway imma finish what I was doing (lie) and go to sleep (eventually) and take my meds#and hopefully remember to mention the formication to a health professional at some point lol#i just needed to write this down as evidence of how i'm feeling rn so tomorrow I can read this and say ''wow that was silly'' mkay? kay

#the way my dad literally woke me up with a message saying 'hbd sorry for not being the best dad i can be'#and then proceeded to go out despite having covid#while i was miserable and quarantining and canceled everything i had because of this fucking disease#that killed my godfather and his best friend#like wow thanks. never seen a man of emptier words#like thank god its not his fault that i caught covid#but he certainly made my day worse! liek he did last year

it is always fun when everyone starts Speaking vaguely of things happening because That thing could happen Infront of me and i Do not and Will not connect those Dots because noone has Like stated it.
#hi nero Sorry you are being locked in quarantine But to be fair why did you Think they would let you leave#i Am fairly ribbing you Because if i entered This situation and got killed you would at the very Least make fun of me
