look i just need to write a big venty post about petty problems it's fine

i COULD write this in a private journal but in the interest of saving my wrists im just gonna yell at my public blog aggretsuko style!!!!! like i'm. a little worried that i'm extra angry and irritated at everything since i started on T, but i also feel like i'm just currently wading through a curse of a thousand cuts and i'm just reaching maximum capacity okay. like these are all small petty things, nothing is going to ruin my life, people experience far worse things all the time everywhere i'm just so SICK of trying to do so much and ending up wasting my time and money and energy all the time constantly!!!!!!!!!!!

i already complained about how much stress having legally moved to sweden has caused me and how i can't get my travels to the evil gender clinic reimbursed and a bunch of other annoying problems, and how i had to do so many stupid annoying phone calls - phone calls are FINE but they're only available within very specific working hours and it's so fucking annoying if you're at school or work and like!!!!!!!! i need to take time off to make a private phone call!!!!!!!!! and then all the times i had to follow up on goddamn fucking gender clinic just to get ANY help with the thing they PROMISED ME, and just today i sent them ANOTHER message just to make sure that thing is GOING ANYWHERE AT ALL............. and then calling my phone provider AGAIN and being told to send them ANOTHER EMAIL!!!!!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED LAST I SENT THEM AN EMAIL (because that's what they told me to do when i called them the first time). I GOT TOLD TO CALL THEM!!!! FUCKING HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WON'T YOU LET ME OUT OF THE TORMENT NEXUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm almost out of mobile data and i can't top up on it because ONLY THE OWNER OF THE SUBSCRIPTION CAN DO THAT. DO YOU KNOW WHO THE OWNER IS???? MY DEADNAME!!!!!!!! IT'S ME EXCEPT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

and do you know why i'm almost out of data!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because the room i'm staying in has such garbage wifi connectivity i need to turn off the wifi to do anything on my phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's like the shitty tall bed is a no-wifi zone!!!!!!!!! i can't believe this is happening. i haven't run out of mobile data in YEARS like what the FUCK is going on. what kind of data drain goblin is drinking all the internets in my phone!!!! and YES i checked the data spending stats and it makes no sense WHY IS THIS HAPPENING. im hoping that if my email to the phone provider is sad wet and pathetic enough they'll gift me some free data for being sent back and forth like a goddamn ping pong ball.

do you know who i want to give a call though. the norwegian post. if their phone queue wasn't like 23583249843298 people i would like to ask them very kindly WHY THE FUCK DID THEY BILL ME 80 FUCKING KRONER FOR SENDING A POST CARD. IT WAS 3 PITIFUL GRAMS OVER THE STAMP LIMIT. LIKE I KNOW I'M TECHNICALLY IN THE WRONG BUT IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE I FORGOT THAT NORWAY HAS A LOWER LIMIT THAN SWEDEN AND I JUST. AUGUHGHHG I WANTED TO SEND MY FRIENDS A **POST CARD** AND A CUTE STICKER!!!!!!!! but i decided on not calling them because i don't want to spend 1.5 hours waiting to speak to someone just to complain about a fine that was earned even if unfair. but then. AND THEN. the holy grail of spiteful petty frustrations.

i decided to purchase an Item. but in the attempt of not getting a thing tied to Bad Monopoly Corporation i purchased a different thing from Another Bad Monopoly Corporation. WHICH WAS MY FIRST MISTAKE. NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN!!! then the Item is sent to the post office super far away and it's such a hassle getting there and it kinda sucked but okay. normal day for me i guess! but then it turns out the Item doesn't even WORK because it's FUCKING REGION LOCKED. AND IT WASN'T GONNA DO THE THING I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DO ANYWAY. BECAUSE BAD MONOPOLY CORPORATION HAS A MONOPOLY ON THE FUNCTION I DESIRED!! HAHA!! OKAY COOL fine i get to return the item and get my money back right??? right. right!!!! so when i finally have access to a printer i print out all the custom slips and return slips and just all the things!!!! okay!!!!!! and i send it off!!!!!! okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THEN IT GETS RETURNED TO ME!!!! BUT TO SWEDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE I WAS STUPID AND WROTE MY SWEDISH ADDRESS AS THE RETURN ADDRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THEY RETURNED IT BECAUSE THE CUSTOMS SLIP WAS WRONG?????? was it because i put it on the back of the envelope??? the post office people said it was fine :(((((( post office people stop getting me in trouble 2k24!!!!!!!!!!! i intended to call the post customer service about it because im so tired of everything being a money drain and i want to know why they did this and im just so frustrated with everything going fucking wrong but. what do i even say. i don't think i have it in me to wait in an hour long queue when i can only call during the hours i'm at my watchmaker placement :(((((( the strength has left my body and i'd like to cry instead thanks

anyway i contact customer service for Bad Monopoly Corporation like hey i sent it off but it got returned and im out of town can you pretty pretty please extend the return deadline. but because Bad Monopoly Corporation probably only gives their customer service workers negative two seconds to read emails they didn't even respond to my email they were like "follow these steps to return your item :)" three times before they actually replied to me and told me they can't extend the deadline. fucking fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i get my landlord to do it!!!!!!!!!!! VERY COOL NOT HUMILIATING AT ALL. HOPEFULLY IT GOES THROUGH THIS TIME OR IM GOING TO EXPLODE INTO A MILLION BILLION PIECES FOREVER

also i purchased a can of sparkling water at a bar the other day and it cost 60 kroner :((((((((((((( that's like 6 americadollars. i think that's evil actually

Saturday 9th November 2024

First impressions of Tennant Creek are that it is Katherine on steroids. As we drove in, we noticed a large IGA supermarket, which, like the Woolworths in Katherine, was attracting a large group of locals. The remainder appeared to be out and about milling around the main roads. The town has a population of 3,000, of which half are Aborigine Australians. The indigenous name for Tennant Creek is Jurnkkurakurr, and the Warumungu people have lived in the region surrounding Tennant Creek for thousands of years. Anecdotally, in 1930 a wagon carrying beer broke down, and when folk around heard about it, rather than taking the beer to the people, they set up a town where the wagon was. Great story, but I suspect that's all it is. The name Tennant Creek was given by our old chum, John McDouall Stuart, who named it after one of the financial backers of his expedition, which must have been one of the first confusing things the good Warumungu people must have come up against. Mind you, it is a lot easier to say than Jurnkkurakurr! It might appear that there could be one or two social problems in the area, and tourists, it is fair to say, are told to be careful. The caravan site's electric gates close at 6pm and reopen at 8.30am. We obviously have a code to get out, but I think people probably hunker down during this time. For added security an electric fence surrounds the site. All this seems extreme, but nobody wants to take chances. A policeman we were talking to reassured us crime was not too bad in Tennant Creek.

It was a quiet start, with a visit to the Tourist Information Office to find out what's around. Tennant Creek has been and is a mining town for gold, copper, and silver. Gold was first found in 1925 when an Overland Telegragh engineer was working in the area. Gold mining ceased in 1985, but recently has restarted with gold prices higher, and production costs lower, it makes mining here viable again. We decided a visit to the mining museum would be desirable tomorrow.

A place people were trying to get us to stay instead of Tennant Creek was The Devils Marbles. This appears to be an interesting sacred place of massive granite boulders; the site being called Karlu Karlu, translated as 'Round Boulders'. These can be found nearly 100kms south of here, straight down the Stuart, and though we were torn about going, we felt a detour of 200ks was unjustified for a day trip. However, not all is lost because the sister site is just up the road, but the little version. The Pebbles’, another site of equally awe-inspiring geologic phenomenon which the Warumungu hold sacred as the place of the Munga Munga dreaming. The Munga Munga dreaming travels through to the Devils Marbles (Karlu Karlu). The Munga Munga went to pick up their loved ones from Karlu Karlu. They picked fruit off the fig trees and headed back, singing all the way. They stopped at three white gums along the way before returning to Kunjarra. So the story goes. Well, it's all very mystical, but they do treat this very seriously. Kunjarra is a womens dreaming site that is important to the Aboriginal women of this country. It is a place where they go for ceremony, dance, meeting place, sacred place, since the beginning and of dreamtime. The site is so important to Warumungu that when one of the Pebbles from the site was moved to Peko Park in Tennant Creek as a tourist promotion, the outcries lasted more than a year until the Pebble was returned back to Kunjarra a year later. The stones are stunning, and in the silence, there was a sense of 'place', the feeling you may get in a cathedral when you sense the age and purpose of the stones that hold this building together and the use it has had over the centuries. Then, almost on queue to increase this feeling of awe, the wind suddenly started to swirl around us, the lightening flashed, the thunder crashed, and a few spots of rain were felt. Our route to The Pebbles was 3kms off the Stuart along an unsealed road. These roads are not approved by Mr Europcar but are usually good in dry conditions. They can be an uncomfortable drive because, for some reason, parallel grooves are cut across the track, causing vibrations throughout the vehicle that Ford had not intended in its design for a smooth ride. Now, with the potential for a heavy downpour, we began to feel a long way from base and hoping we would not experience flooding on the unsealed road. We were also completely alone in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully, the heavy rain held off despite the increase in thunderstorm activity, and before long, we were back on the Stuart and heading down to Tennant Creek and our Chinese meal from Woks Up. Into BottleO for beer and SB. Here in Tennant Creek, we are only permitted 2 bottles of wine each! Or 2 bottles and some beer between us. That's all the policeman would allow us. Then the heavens opened, and we have not seen rain like it before. Cats, dogs, and kangaroos. As I write this 3 hours later, the storm continues, and we have just lost all power, and very large puddles are forming in the caravan park. All is black in our little cabin, meaning the air-conditioning is also off, too.

Fantastic Chinese meal, though, from a place renowned throughout the Northern Territories. Just consumed in time.

Hopefully, all shall be back to normal in the morning. Well. It is the wet season now!

ps. Power is restored and the air-conditioning is working again.

pps. The idea had been to watch the sunset over the stones. Clearly not appropriate tonight!

[se7ens-oc-heaven]

Ritsu!

man I said I'd get to queueing up these old prompts and then Didn't... but at least I've gotten around to it now! Also to contextualize how old this prompt is? When I first filled out this profile for him I hadn't even established what goes on with him and Rex ultimately! (This was written before their dynamic retcon even, whoopsies).

I tweaked some things but I'm going to post the original info (Hisui variant) below a cut under the up-to-date profile. I'm also going to add a bonus profile for Rex in the reblog since I happened to do that for funsies, so look out for that ;)

Who are they?

Full name?  Ritsu [last name tbd]

Nicknames? N/A

Gender/pronouns? Male (probably), he/him

Orientation? Aroace-spec - not sure if aro or demiro

Age/Birthday? 23, roughly / he forgor [unset]

Fun fact! Zodiac? :( (Pisces? Or Aquarius/Pisces cusp maybe)

What’s their personality?

Major good traits? Always willing to help others, generous, good with kids, pretty patient

Major flaws? Struggles with putting himself first; isn't always good at voicing his thoughts; more likely to become quietly distant than address a problem

Goals? To settle into the place he can truly belong

Fears? Being uprooted again, dreaming or making up his life entirely

Optimistic or pessimistic? Tempered optimistic

Introvert, extrovert, or ambivert? Introverted, but good with people

Empathetic or un-empathetic? Very empathetic

Do they wait and plan or dive right in? He much prefers to wait and plan... Sometimes he gets so caught up on this step he never follows through with said plans

Do they go with the flow or forge their own path? He prefers to go with the flow but narratively keeps being put in a position to forge (if that makes any sense at all)

Fun fact! Other defining traits? Incredibly klutzy, lacks a lot of coordination despite having good response times.

Relations to the world?

Who’s their family? He has yet to regain his memories of them, but both parents are alive and well in his home region.

Where are they from? Fortree City, Hoenn

Where do they live now? Freezington in the Crown Tundra - though in practice he's rarely there.

Do they have a job? If so, what is it? He is a traveling assistant with Rex's legend research.

How are they with technology? He's most likely approximately two centuries behind the times. It's not going well lol

Connections to religion or spirituality? Him and God aren't exactly on speaking terms anymore.

Powers or magic? None anymore

Fun fact! Connections to the lore? He has been isekai'd twice now, and then finally brought back home with no memory of what that even would mean to him. He's a very influential case to the world around him, but mostly he just wants to find a stable life for himself and help others like him if possible.

Favorites?

Favorite season/weather? Sunny days, probably prefers summer. He gets cold faster than he used to so it's soothing to be in the summer heat for him.

Favorite place? He still gets too cold but Freezington is growing on him regardless. He also loves visiting Postwick to catch up with Rex and Hop's family.

Favorite food? He's rediscovering his love for pasta dishes, and getting to try other new things each day. Sometimes he misses Beni's cooking though.

Favorite clothes/accessories? His Rescue Team Bandanna; his old uniform from the Galaxy team.

Favorite animal? The typhlosion line, naturally!

Favorite/most frequently used mode of transportation? His preferred mode is riding on pokemon, like in Hisui, but nowadays it seems vehicles are the dominant way of travel...

Favorite holiday? None that he can celebrate nowadays - most holidays are still too socially overwhelming for him.

Hobbies? Reading, reading, reading. There's much in the world for him to catch up on, but also it's a very calming, lowkey activity - he's missed having that in his life. It's an equal balance of nonfiction and comics.

Relationships?

Best friends? Rex and Hop!

Closest family member? He hasn't really stayed in touch with any. Things have become rather awkward in light of him not actually being dead, and brought back by the one person they insistently shot down....

Partner/s? Rex - not sure if romantic or QPR yet.

Enemies? He still holds a grudge towards Commander Kamado, even if the guy's long dead by now.

What organizations/clubs/etc are they in? He wants to start his own group to find and help other cases like his.

Fun fact! What are they like with their best friend or partner? He's still quiet, but he learns how to be more open and vocal with both of them, and how to enjoy himself with others - and he learns how to be firm with Rex, standing his ground if something comes up that he disagrees with. Most would assume Rex is the one who takes the lead between the two of them, but most times it's Ritsu taking the stand to rein Rex in more than anything.

(Old profile below)

Who are they?

Full name?  Ritsu

Nicknames? N/A

Gender/pronouns? Male, he/him

Orientation? Aroace

Age/Birthday? 20, roughly / he forgor

Relations to the world?

Who’s their family? He has lost his memory of them, including his parents, but they all are alive and well elsewhere

Where are they from? Fortree City, Hoenn

Where do they live now? Jubilife Village in Hisui

Do they have a job? If so, what is it? He is a ten star Survey Corps member

How are they with technology? Bad at this point lmao. Probably better than others around him but that's not saying much

Connections to religion or spirituality? Well, he can now call God up on his phone...

Powers or magic? None anymore

Fun fact! Connections to the lore? He has been isekai'd twice now, and after being banished and on the run as a cyndaquil, fighting legendaries with his own bare paws, Ritsu has become somewhat jaded to any punishments the Galaxy Team have attempted to threaten him with.

Favorites?

Favorite season/weather? Sunny days, probably prefers summer. He gets cold faster than he used to so it's soothing to be in the summer heat for him.

Favorite place? Either the pokemon pastures or up by Coronet Highlands's arena - he appreciates the view despite the chill.

Favorite food? Most likely pasta dishes that are not available in Hisui

Favorite clothes/accessories? His Rescue Team Bandanna.

Favorite animal? The typhlosion line, naturally!

Favorite/most frequently used mode of transportation? Wyrdeer

Favorite holiday? The-sky-isn't-splitting-open celebratory festival has to be his favorite so far. He hopes it'll become a yearly event. The festival, not the sky splitting open, of course.

Relationships?

Best friends? Might be Professor Laventon...?

Closest family member? N/A

Partner/s? N/A

Enemies? Commander Kamado. He works for the guy but is none too pleased with him as a person after the banishment events...

What organizations/clubs/etc are they in? Does the Galaxy team count?

Tokyo Day 1.

After visiting Kansai and Chugoku regions last June, I returned to Japan with Ejii-chan with the mission to explore the entirety of Tokyo. We flew on an afternoon flight and arrived at around 7PM in Narita. We took the local train to the megapolis. When we arrived at the hotel, we settled for a bit and then splurged on kombini (convenience store) food near our hotel.

The real Day One starts the next day.

I took Ejii-chan to Shibuya. She's been to Tokyo some 15 years ago when she became an exchange student at a Japanese school. She always told stories about her stay back then and how Tokyo had changed over the past years. We had a late lunch at Ichiran in Shibuya and charged ahead of the 45-minute queue just to have our ramen fix for the day.

Ahh. The world-famous Tonkotsu ramen + extra chashu + extra kikurage. Having a warm, artery-clogging meal is nice to compensate for the cool autumn winds and tireless 20,000-step walks daily.

The view from outside Ichiran. We took photos of the surrounding buildings and neighborhood as we queued.

Ejii-chan's homecoming. She always loved Japan and its culture. Anime, film, art. You name it. Now, she's back in her turf.

We paid tribute to Hachiko while around Shibuya.

Later at night, we rode the metro to Ueno Park after reading from reviews that Ueno Park at night is a must-visit. Only to discover that most of the food stalls and stores around the park are closed by 6 p.m. So, we took a stroll around the park and its roads. We went through the nearby Ameyayokocho instead and strolled through its streets looking for something to eat.

Traveling is always tiring. But it's also always worth every step.

We were back at the hotel by 11 p.m.

Tokyo, Japan October 2023
