even though dnp are my biggest interest atm i am also technically a multifandom account on every platform, so i will post about other things i enjoy too (like chappell roan, atla, studio ghibli, cdramas, books, etc.)

going to see pearl jam this week in concert and this is the first concert where im gonna try to take care of myself autistically. im going alone and the venue has sensory kits for kids and adults, but i want to bring a comfort item like a stuffed animal? might call ahead and see if theyll allow it. im excited and nervous cuz its my first concert all on my own, but its also a chance to accomodate my needs and not have to grit my teeth through so much noise!! i typically fare a lot better at concerts because this is a Noise that is Fun For Me but its definitely scarier because im alone lol. im already imagining myself sipping on some wine with ear defenders and a stuffy in my lap. just wanted to celebrate taking this scary step but i dont want to let my brain limit what I think could be fun for me!!

NEW Surprise Song dress!!!

I’m calling it the Barbie Butterfly Mariposa

[purringpearl]

Day #38 of convincing Taylor Swift that I can be one of her songwriters

my vocal sacs are burning

some days I fall apart

and words can't make their way out

far away in the infinity

my voice becomes an inaudible sound

like the marker ink

these grey trails spread all over, under my skin

and I'm just watching them grow

'cause I'm the only one to see it

my vocal sacs are burning

how do I speak?

inside the same room for days now

and everyone thinks I'm getting weak

wearing the same safety pin necklace

the chain slimed on my neck

that's the only thing that's holding onto me

like I've got it's back

"it's just another rainy day", they said

but why is it everyday?

did I pull someone's string to deserve this?

but whatever, I'll again pretend that it's okay

how the blue sky falls? I know

you are unable to see through the fog

you're unaware of it's strength

and you'll never know when the sky will fall
