#today its bed all day

[furiousgoldfish]

I love how I will wake up from a nightmare and then not be able to move much from the bed that day. Really adds a level of helplessness and panic in this 'struggle for survival' type life.

I am on a "mildly trashy TV shows that were super popular 20 years ago" kick & i cannot STAND those on again off again romances that seem to plague it (meredith & derek, carrie & big) like it is so exhausting idc if it's realistic it just sucks. I actually hate an exes to lovers again story in any capacity, even if it's only a single breakup & not a terrible tedious series of breakups. I've seen a lot of popular modern romance novels on goodreads with descriptions like "so & so called it off ages ago but now they're on a vacation together with friends and old feelings are stirring back up" I literally can't think of anything more boring. second chance romance is a shit trope. the only interesting part of the genre to me is two characters developing feelings for each other for the first time & seeing how that plays out. just give the characters new love interests & have them wistfully imagine their ex being hit by a bus . much more relatable

This was technically inspired by a post made by Mirai, but it ended up pretty far from the prompt so I won't link it here. I'll follow through on the original prompt soon, I promise <3 But I had this thought and I liked it

Fun fact about me: April 18th is my birthday! :)

And part of what I wanted to do to celebrate this year was to give back. Introducing * ~ a dipplinshipping birthday oneshot ~ * :

Rating: T

Summary:

Today was Kieran's birthday, but it was the last thing that mattered to him. In fact, he vowed it would never matter to him again. Instead, he would focus on things that would keep him strong: his battling, his strategizing, and his crown as the Blueberry Champion. His sister and the Elite Four won't stop asking him random questions, though, and if anyone brings up Juliana any more than they already have since she arrived as an exchange student, he's seriously going to lose it. But...why can't he stop thinking about her? And why is everyone acting so suspicious?!

A bittersweet birthday celebration fic for anyone who's had complicated feelings about their birthday. <3

Take this as a thank you to all of those who have followed my work and/or my Tumblr blog. I wouldn't have imagined having the support of this wonderful community on my last birthday, and I can't even begin to describe how encouraged and inspired I have felt to write since finding you guys. I have never written this much for this long, consistently, and your constant feedback and comments seriously brighten my day more than Juliana brightens up Kieran, LOL. Hope you enjoy this! <333

(And yeah, this fic is the "event based idea" that this poll was about. I thought it was so funny that some of you thought it was gonna be some devastating angst LMAOOOO. That's for after TTPD releases, tysm for the bday gift Taylor.)

nothing beats friday night + sipping on wine alone doing your own stuff knowing there’s no work the morning after

Sometimes I feel like a centuries old robot in a scifi movie

The one that has to turn itself on every morning over the course of an hour, slowly waiting for access to each limb, waiting for the energy to just move

When it finally forces itself up it has to go through the routine of preparing for the day. Making sure it looks a little better, hiding all its rust spots best it can

By then it's battery is already back down to 75%

On a good day

On a bad day that might just take it out again, and it needs to restart the whole process

When it goes out, it tries to hide it. Pretends to be the latest model, maybe it's an alternate model from some niche production line, that's why it walks a little funny, talks a little different, processes things weird sometimes.

Maybe the robot itself can't feel pain, but everything it knows about it, everything it's learned, the robot knows that the pain it would feel would incapacitate a human. Maybe even other robots

It's good at hiding. It does it's best

But there are days when it's so clear. It's so obvious. That robot is different

Not everyone assumes it's old, the robot looks fairly young so it couldn't be old. Maybe it's broken. Or just lazy. Or faulty. Regardless

There is something wrong with it

It gets pitied looks, it gets yelled at, it gets dismissed.

And then at the end of the day if it's lucky, it has just enough battery left over to do something it enjoys for a few minutes

Then finally, with whatever small amount it has left, it plugs itself back in to recharge for the night. Each night it desperately hopes the next day will be easier, that maybe its waking up process will be easier, maybe its battery will last longer. Maybe it'll get some extra energy while it's out and be able to do more

It's all just fantasies of course. The longer it exists the harder things get for it. The longer it tries the more it wants to give up

The world doesn't have a use for an old broken robot body

But it's the only one he's got, so he has to make it work.
