#we're getting there.

[demonicrhythms]

Sorry for being so lacklustre with art lately. I'm in the middle of Moving so things have been proper difficult and I haven't had time for much of anything.

I'll get back to art and my asks soon! Promise! Please bear with me my darlings!

Last week I thibk maybe for the first time in my life thought the words "By the time I'm 30 I want to..." and it's finally hitting that I'm at a point turning 30 is more an inevitability than a mystical reality unattainable for me.

my burning desire to be properly seen & understood vs. my utter failure to have a sense of self to understand

after my post-move nap i can confidently say i am SO relieved and excited to be out of that studio. like for one it was insanely overpriced ($1,000 a month for a STUDIO and if i had renewed my lease there they actually would have raised the rent again. lol.) and it was tiny and like. dark?! there was only one window... no natural light. which 1000000% significantly contributed to my recent Very Bad depression episode. this new place is a two bedroom with sooooo much natural light from large windows and the sliding glass door to the patio i LOVE it i LOVE sunshine. and it's like $885 a month. for a two bedroom. for a Spacious two bedroom. that is a HUUUGE monthly stress off my back already oh my god ... anyway i'm happy ^^

Today is payday and I want to be excited about that but Alfie's been crunching numbers a bit and reckons we're around £150 short each month. We can cut that down a little by bring even more frugal with food than we already are but like...god

I've already basically had to quit smoking (which, sure, probably a good thing but CHRIST am I craving a fag) and we went the last week or so on a single meal a day pretty much. AND I still need to pay for my birth certificate and then wait another fortnight to get my PVG certification renewed before im even allowed to start working and earning more cash

Like...its so fucking frustrating. Once I start work we're sound! We'll even have enough to buy ourselves nice things and send cash to the folks that have helped us/friends that need it! But there's SO many barriers between me being allowed to work! I got my application accepted what, a month ago? And its going to be another month, maybe even two before I see anything from that

We're getting there. We're really close and I'm clinging on to that, but it's so so tiring

[ardri-na-bpiteog]

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

the under-praised backbone of any fandom:

fan wiki editors

fan wiki editors who move the wiki off of fandom.com and to an independent host, especially

transcript writers

image description writers

fic rec list curators

translators

everyone who archives an ephemeral ARG or website-based lore dump

everyone who archives and preserves related media in general, for that matter

CDC finally fuckin' recommended the new COVID boosters for everyone in the US. letting my american followers who don't check the news know because i've been turned away for wanting to get an extra booster & now won't be anymore & it's Lovely. most americans are not going to get these and are going to grumble about them, which sucks as far as spread goes - but DOES mean u can schedule with ur local pharmacy sooner rather than later. please do so. ur immunocompromised friends and ur own body will thank u.

back at it again with the extremely self-indulgent diafams! I am being emotionally supported by overly-cutesy interactions between anime characters right now, don't judge me.

(also continuing with my headcanons that 1) mustache Bauru, and 2) he'll be hugely tsundere about it but you can, ultimately, convince him to do just about anything via careful application of Sebek.)
