Every day is excessive but like a lot of those days, you know?
slut era (just wants to talk to someone every day)
#quality time is a love language#I'm realizing that#but I like alone too#like ofc anytime is amazing#and i never wanna pull people away from their people#I'm guilty of pulling myself away from people so I get it#I've had a major problem with infatuation causing inseparability and I don't wanna fall back into that shit#time away good and important#time with people crucial#but I want to feel special#and that happens while alone#or can MORE EASILY I should say#carving out a time to be with only them without obligation shows extra importance#which is why I'm kinda trying hard#but maybe I'm reading things wrong and it's not what I thought#or maybe my desperation is exhausting lmaooo#idk dude I swear the other situation fucked how much I see things#and maybe I'm a lesbian that catches feelings too easily#i swear it's only cause people gimmie an inch#maybe i turn that into a mile tho#i think i overthink shit too much#didn't I just tell you to get a fucking hobby???

Good afternoon gamers!!! I miss F.inal F.antasy. I miss it a lot-
#pan rambles#I haven't played some in a hot minute and I'm crumbling-afibsfjsndi#I miss it a lot...#So much I've been struggling to get the motivation to continue Y.akuza 0-afisbkfsn#Not that I even have the time to play bc of assignments#But still#I miss it!!!#Maybe I'll try to play some Octopath in ky free time#I just missed my turned based battles#It's also why I think I'll prefer I.chiban's games over Kiryu (Minus the crush)#I love hitting things by pressing random buttons!! It Can be real satisfying! But Gameplay Wise. Kiryu isn't my favorite to play as-#It's not as fun for me compared to other games-ajfnsjdsn#Which is a shame bc story wise? I'm enjoying it!#It's just gameplay that kinda isn't my favorite sometimes#Anyways back to assignments! I'll work real hard so I can find the time to play Octopath!#I'll always prefer anime men over realistic looking men (The aro kicks in harder sometimes when they look realistic)

sent my fanzine pieces to some friends and most didn't acknowledge them at all and the only one who did just went "nice" and nothing else :(((
#obligatory If You See This It Isn't About You I Promise these people are not on tumblr#like it's fine i'm proud of how they're coming along anyway but also. symptom of a larger issue yk#why is it such a struggle to get almost anyone in my life to care about the things that i'm proud of or excited about even a little :(#especially with vkei related stuff????? idk why but like. nobody (apart from my two friends who are also into it) will even acknowledge#that i've said anything when i try to talk about it or share anything related to it#which sucks idk i know you can't make people have an interest (and i'm not trying to do that!!) but i try very hard to engage with what#they care about even when it's not something i'm personally into and it just kinda sucks that it never seems to go both ways#like i do not like or care about kpop but i'll still sit for hours and watch videos or talk about it with my friend and then when i try to#show them one performance or song that's really important to me they go on their phone and don't actually watch any of it or pay attention

again and again i find myself lamenting that audio roleplay isn't taken more seriously by some people. like yeah, they often have a romantic element, and by nature they usually directly involve/address the listener- and i totally get that those things aren't to everyone's taste. no art or entertainment is universally appealing, and that's okay! but.. it still makes me a lil sad that the "cringe" reputation of asmr/audio rp precedes it. there's a whole lot of talent and creativity being poured into these audios by so many people that i feel goes unrecognized and/or disrespected simply due to the medium that the stories are being told through.
#this post brought to you by: me bingeing Sam & Darlin's entire storyline over the past few days and having a Lot of feelings abt it#asmr#audio roleplay#rp audio stuff#redacted audio#anyways i don't have a conclusion to this post. and i'm not Mad or Upset or anything i'm just thinkin' out loud#and i mean it's not like it doesn't get plenty of praise within its respective audience bc it does. at least for the more popular creators#but i feel it'll still always have the shadow of its cringe reputation looming over it#which makes it hard for some ppl to openly appreciate or share with others that aren't already fans of the medium#like do u know how many comments i've seen along the lines of 'this is great but i'd die if anyone knew i liked this kinda stuff' ?? :(#idk maybe i feel strongly about it bc i'm a self-insert fanfic writer. and i feel like the two have a lot in common. including a bad rep.#like. not every audio will be well-written or produced and neither will every fanfic. but that doesn't mean it's a less legitimate artform#and i'm lucky to have never (yet) received negative comments on my work. but that doesn't mean that it doesn't make me sigh when people-#-say shit like 'this reads like fanfiction' as a way of calling something bad. or other similar sentiments that make the same implication#and i wouldn't be surprised if audio creators feel the same way when they encounter certain comments or statements#like. those YT videos where ppl will 'try bf asmr for the first time' or whatever and it's just 20 mins of cringing and over-reacting? eugh#tbf i haven't watched many bc why do that to myself. so Maybe there's some that are respectful but still. imagine getting roasted like that#and yes yes i know that by posting stuff online you're inadvertently sighing up to be criticized by Anyone but still. man. i dunno#i'm going on a tangent but my point is. i'm grateful for the creators that still make their art in spite of the public's perception of it#bc some of the most impactful emotional experiences i've ever gained from fiction took place in audio rp and i'm so serious abt that.#anyways. this post almost feels like i'm 'making up a person to be mad at' but i promise it's not that serious i'm just yapping. mostly.#certainly not trying to start any kind of debate or anything either i just have a lot of fixation-induced energy and nowhere to put it#this is Eric's fault (/lh) for cooking Sam up in a lab catered exactly to my taste and making Darlin' waaaaay too painfully relatable#but it's also My fault for bingeing the Inversion /and/ the Quinn arc /and/ the Summit all within a couple days. but i can't help myself#feels like i've run an emotional marathon. triathlon. The Emotional Olympics if u will. i'm feeling Everything#who knew that beating the shit out of ur fictional abuser could feel so goddamn cathartic! it's a nice replacement when u can't do it irl#anyways i'm off on a tangent again. thanks for coming to my TED Talk i'm gonna crawl back in my hole now#actually i'm gonna go relisten to a few audios. as Research for my Sam & Darlin' playlist as well as a post i'll be making about it soon#u Know i've got it bad when i not only make a playlist but start Posting on here about the songs that remind me of them. i'm cooked guys.

Gotta sweep up all this Dust (Patreon)
#Doodles#Mother 3#Duster#I am still thinking of He and yet he still hasn't completely come back into my crosshairs#If you can believe it - it was actually the fic printing that was like halfway to the goal of going out of my mind about him again and well-#Lol ♪ I do still plan to! I just underestimated how much of a run-up to him it would be#I'll get there! Certainly keeping busy in the meanwhile lol#But he does get /some/ screentime in the meantime at least haha#I actually injured my own ankle a while ago :P Couldn't tell you exactly when or what but it's been kinda flaring up lately#Mostly when I got for walks - doesn't have to be super long walks either which I'm not super jazzed about#But I did get an ankle compress-brace which has been good for it :) Can walk a bit more regularly!#It was mostly giving my pain away that prompted him back lol sorry Duster#I did at least power up the game to try and see which side his limp is on - it's hard to tell!#It looks like his strides are more confident/longer with his left leg but with the way his sprite mirrors sometimes but not other times#I don't know if he actually says which leg it is somewhere in the game either so I'm just projecting for now lol#I imagine it's only easier to stress out the strong side by overextending - why not both!#It's also still really fun to draw him covered in scars haha#Probably could've gone for arm hair too but it might've muddled the scars and aren't those the important part lol#And a little singy Duster/Lucky to round out :)#I imagine he has a weak voice if he tried projecting but hmm I'm not sure! I really do want to get to know him better!#There's gotta be a reason he was put on the bass right haha#Probably a nice whispery singing voice ♪

I'm definitely not the only queer person who's kinda wary of Christian ppl they encounter online right?
Like I see a profile that clearly states they're Christian and they post like Bible verses and shit and I'm just. Hoping they're not queerphobic. Or saying some dumbass shit like "hate the sin love the sinner" or whatever while pretending that's not queerphobic
If they're interacting with me first it's pretty safe to assume they're not gonna be like that bc I'm very obviously queer (🏳️🌈 + pronouns in bio) but if it's someone who hasn't interacted with me at all I kind of instinctively avoid interacting with them out of fear of them being that way. Y'know
#ramblings#i think it's bc even tho i've never been religious and my family isn't like a super uptight christian family#i have encountered a preacher who was homophobic and transphobic before#he's puerto rican too which just makes me disappointed in my people tbh#i grew up surrounded by a lot of accepting ppl both within and outside of the family#as well as a couple gay/trans ppl#i was always taught that that's just the way some ppl are and that we should respect that#even if we didn't fully understand everything and weren't up to date with the latest most accepted terminology and stuff#ppl were just respectful and let others be themselves#so it's extremely hard for me to understand why other ppl would be queerphobic#i mean. i kinda get it. it what they were taught growing up. just how i was taught to be accepting and respectful#but why ppl would continue to teach that to their kids and perpetuate queerphobia is really what i don't get#like. accepting that ppl different from you exist and that's ok isn't going to kill you#maybe learn abt the world from other sources besides the bible and try to see different perspectives#instead of shutting yourself off to just one way of thinking and hurting ppl in the process#anyways. i think it's also bc i've seen too many really religious ppl on the internet who are also queerphobic#and they have these big platforms of ppl who support them and share their views#and like. i shouldn't generalize. but they paint an ugly image of christians in general#also like. christians throughout history don't have the cleanest track record#but i know a lot of christians nowadays aren't like that. in fact i'm willing to say most aren't#but still it's like. better be safe than sorry y'know#idk man

the duality of my Dr. Benzedrine is that he's incredibly effective and ruthless at what he does (saving lives, need not concern himself with the consequences as long as the subject/victim/patient is still alive by the medical definition of the term) and he's terribly smart and has a great sense of humor, but he's also a rather confused, genuinely brain-damaged individual. like. he's scary when he's in his element, but when he's not, he sometimes can barely string a full sentence together, has panic attacks over loud noises, etc
#he is not a savant btw I kinda hate that trope. he's INCREDIBLY intelligent but the brain-to-mouth connection just doesn't... work.#the head injury itself would have probably resolved itself for the most part but there were chemicals and experiments involved#and it just means he's... really shitty at language and communication. if he's not thinking too hard about it it's easier!!#the more he thinks about it/tries too hard the worse his speech is#which is why he sounds more coherent when he's working- his mind is on what he's doing instead of ''Have To Talk Right''#which allows him to. talk better.#the panic attacks thing tends to be either because 1) unfamiliar things like fireworks etc. or 2) sound sensitivity flare-up#...in a way I think he might be a very autistic little guy. but I'm not sure. I don't really know how to portray that#it's interesting trying to write a character who's whip-smart and clever and sarcastic but Can't Speak Properly#does any of this make sense??#she speaks!#ddas

genuinely always so shocked to see mirei hate. like literally god forbid women do anything.
#contra.txt#y5 haters in general... does playable haruka mean nothing to you...#DOES SHINADA TATSUO MEAN NOTHING TO YOU...#for legal reasons this is a joke people are allowed to feel however they want about whatever it's just viddy games#and i fully acknowledge y5 and its litany of flaws#of which there are certainly enough for any given individual to justifiably dislike/hate its entirety but I AM A Y5 LOVER THRU AND THRU#saejima's arc is just an arguably less interesting rehash of the one he had in 4?#(jail; jailbreak; betrayed by his lil buddy guy#but now we're sans the interesting character stuff of his feelings regarding the hit. & also i miss his hair.#& that's not even to say i think saejima is boring in y5 i think there's some interesting subtext to take away from his character#unique to this entry but it's pretty hard to deny how much is literally just y4 again but now he's bald)#BUT WHO GAFS he got buffed to hell gameplay-wise and punches bears now#and also baba's a great character and he doesn't have to do a whole chase minigame if a cop sees him anymore#bloated/unfocused feeling in general to the game?#WELL THAT'S JUST MORE CONTENT BABY!!! only a real issue if you're a completionist imo#+ are u telling me you don't wanna drive a taxi? u don't wanna play a video game in which the goal is to drive as normally as possible?#and i loveeeee multiple protagonists yay <3 y0 y4 and y5 are my favs so far lol (up to y6)#kiryu's inclusion in y5 also feels way more justified than in y4. he was so tacked on there i'm trying to remember what he even really did#other than tiger dropping as a boss fight before instantly forgetting how to tiger drop the second he became playable#and losing track of yasuko and getting tag-teamed by akiyama and tanimura (cough) and beating up daigo#but in exchange akiyama becomes the protag that feels kinda tacked on in y5. way less so than kiryu in y4 tho for sure#anyway. weird/strangely justified plot beats? WELL THAT'S JUST EVERY YAKUZA GAME#an arguably strange/poor writing choice for majima especially given how he ended up being written in y0?#well honestly other than the age thing i think it makes him more interesting... he's kinda fucked up!#but i do get why people are /really/ not a fan of it. ik i just said i think it makes him more interesting but if it gets retconned#or even just never mentioned again i wouldn't be surprised tbh#but additionally he's not even a major character in y5 so it feels like it's not really a significant complaint imo#anyway anyone can do this ('this' being acknowledging the flaws of a thing and then letting how much they otherwise enjoy#said thing determine how much they let said flaws influence their overall opinion) ...such is the beauty of subjectivity... i love you.#yakuza

could you do me a favor and tag whenever there are ocs in your reblogs? thank you very much
I've so far didn't see much of it on your blog but I just noticed it and I would appreciate it very much.
I can try, but anon, I don't always know what's an OC and what is a canon character in the vast world of Pokémon that I've just never seen before.
Do like minor OCs to fill in gaps in fics count? What about characters who are truly blank slates, like some of the depot agents?
I can try and tag when there's like major OCs but when it comes to minor characters that's where I'm not gonna split hairs.
I guess the tags will be #others ocs and less commonly #my ocs
#anon#I'm not gonna lie I'm giving you a hard side eye as to why you want this#it feels really rude#remember: every single character you know and love is someone's OC#also before anyone @ me: if the very concept of OCs was a trigger I doubt a person with said trigger#would be comfortable with any form of fandom or headcanon or fanfic#maybe I'm wrong but yeah#not in the mood today for figuring this out#anyways OCs are cherished and loved here by the owner of this blog#even if this is a canon character blog not an OC blog#(admittedly I'd reblog more OCs interacting with submas if it wasn't a lot of shipping which isn't my thing)#but when I see OCs interacting with submas in a platonic way I am happy to reblog it :)#sorry if any of this seems rude I'm tired and my mental state is not good#and admittedly. I'm kinda tired of trying to guess what people mean and always giving the benefit of the doubt#please bear with me I'm sorry

#I get tired of people trying to explain what lens I should view the world through; what way I could think that would make everything better#forgive me but I don't care; I do what I do and I do what I can and you don't see the work I do under the hood#I don't want advice on self validation or whatever; I want... I want someone to hold a mirror up so I can actually see myself#by which I mean I want input on how I'm doing; if it's good enough; if it's worth anything; if anything I make is good#everyone things I'm nice; everyone has always thought I'm nice#but given nice leaves me profoundly isolated I don't think I care#not to mention in my opinion what nice in this instance means is that I'm capable of listening#it's mostly that I have manners rather than some quality about me#I'm well behaved and polite and can listen; and that's perceived as nice or even sweet#and it's not like I'm offended by people seeing me that way; but maybe you can get why... I can't do anything with that information#but if I'm doing enough... if I provide any value to the world... I might have heard that less times in my life than years I've lived#that's where I'm totally blind#people don't tend to offer any input; and also people don't tend to let me know what they're thinking#and I in fact am not a mind reader; I can often accurately infer things; but no of that means a thing till it's confirmed#and... well... hopefully no one reads the stupid shit I say and especially not the tags so this is safe and hidden#but truthfully people just like to hear that stuff they're doing is wanted and matters#and I do not#I don't know... gotta go do more cleaning cause I need to#and I have no idea if... I've got a reason for fighting so hard to clean; but I get very little input so... I expect... well...#and thankfully I don't think they read my tags so I can say this#but I really expect they won't take me up on my offer to come out here and get away from their parents; so there will be no pay off#not that I blame them in the slightest... it's just the only possible pay off for this cleaning would be helping someone I like out#and a scrap of company#but then again... in many ways anyone coming out to live with me is the worst thing they could probably do#sorry... I have a rather bleak outlook on many things surrounding myself purely cause of what I infer from the past#there is never pay off; only more shit I need to get done#I will never be loved; I will never be wanted; I will always just kinda be an afterthought that's occasionally worth venting to#no one will ever be particularly interested in anything I'm interested while I'll chase their interests or at least try to#certainly let them talk about them when they want#...though I take that over my normal total isolation... better to at least be permitted to follow in someone's shadow than have nothing

ooooh i woke up in a bad mood and it's so hard not to be a bitch about it
#i don't want to ruin the mood for my family so i'm just laying in my bed and think about everything that pisses me off#and i'm getting more and more mad about it#come to think of it it's kinda funny but also really frustrating#i probably just need to cry because i've been extremely tired and stressed for the past week#but i don't want to make myself sad on purpose so now i'm really angry over literally nothing lol#for example today i saw my colleague and turns out she knows my father#and she was like 'oh your dad really misses you!! he mentions you all the time!!' and i was like '....really?.....'#because i thought he didn't care at all (and the feeling is kinda mutual)#because call me crazy if you want but if i miss someone i just go talk to them.... problem solved........#we barely talk but apparently he's yapping abt me all the time to everyone so everyone thinks that he's oh such a loving and caring dad#which makes me look like a bitch of a daughter#which is like#on one hand i couldn't care less#but on the other#why would you talk about missing me to other people and bever bother to try and talk to me yourself??#though i probably dodged a bullet#talking to him is extremely hard because he's incredibly stuffy? boring? english doesn't have enough words for that#and i don't wanna listen to him talking about himself for 2 hours straight without having a chance to interrupt him 🤩🤩🤩#ooof#idk how to stop being mad i probably need to distract myself somehow#anyway there is probably a ton of mistakes here but i'm too lazy to fix them#idk i wish i could scream so loud that every bad thought in my head would disappear forever#i'm so tiredddddd

why shading (top left) is important versus flat coloring (bottom right)
(aka i put way too much effort into my coloring pages)
#beep#i'm getting a really nice peach color by just using orange and coloring very lightly#my colored pencil set that i usually use is a 12 piece so i have to get creative lmao#there's white and black and brown and red and yellow and orange and a kinda dark magenta pink#then purple‚ a light sky blue‚ a dark slightly-green blue‚ a light slightly-yellow green‚ and a dark slightly-blue pine green#the purple and sky blue and slightly yellow green can't color very dark which is kind of annoying#the dark blue and dark green and black are the only ones that don't come out super bright and sort of neon when you color intensely w them#so getting them to do like. normal colors that you see in real life is a challenge#but i kind of enjoy that it's difficult because then when i make it look good i feel like i really achieved something#i don't have very much experience with colored pencils though so a lot of the time it ends up looking a bit weird#especially when i'm trying to blend colors#idk why blending multiple colors together is so hard

peak dash tonight but i gtg do like. something productive
#none of this info is important i'm just chatting w you guys. into the void#actually i haven't been updating you guys on rascal i am living with him now it's great#he's obsessed with drinking the turtle water though (not dribble my foster turtle my roommate has her own)#but he recognized me and likes me ummm better than anyone i try to introduce him to lol#which makes sense but still. :)#he's bigger now he's like a teenager or something and he's mellowed out a lot#but i definitely am still a bit scratched up bc he is NOT good at communicating his feelings!!#im getting better at it but he will pivot so hard and fast it's wild#anwyay he's sweet and he still likes sleeping on my neck#just about every day he'll see that i'm lying down and curl up on my sternum it's terribly cute#but he doesn't seem to find my lap or laptop nearly as interesting as before. maybe when it gets colder outside idk#things have been great and silly and scary only in brief and also jsut so much like guys imTIRED of [university name] giving me bullshit#why can't things go smoothly like ever why is every minor process breaking down at every stage#but whatever. anyway i've had my japanese i class twice and the first time was so so scary bc APPARENTLY im surrounded by ppl who've been#self-teaching for years (i was mistaken about this btw) and also speaking is scary ok. today was good bc i misunderstood smth and#kinda studied the entire unit in advance. so i was like GOOD and prepared y'know. easy and now i know my strategy going forward lol

Should I reblog an ask game. Question of the century. Idk maybe it will make me able to form a coherent thought about hetalia
#just talking recreationally#Honestly? This month my hyperfixation on hetalia kinda slipped away a little? I sort of focused on other things#And like. Forgot how much fun it is. How much joy it brings me#History(and history adjacent things) is the love of my life and hetalia is related to that y'know.#And storytelling too which I sort of use hetalia as a way to exercise telling and writing (historical) fiction for#The hypothetical day I will write non hetalia maybe original stories.#I loveee hetalia and I really wanted to write so much about it since it's summer and I have some free time#But I just cant bring myself to sometimes. Sometimes it's hard even thinking about it#I don't know. I'm trying to remember why hetalia is special to me in the first place.#This is a mess but I just. Man I used to be able to make a million posts a day (cuz I was ignoring school ig)#I'm so frustrated about evrything and I hate the way my brain works.#Tl;dr : My hyperfixtion on hetalia kinda slipped away a lil and I don't have any current hyperfixation (besides maybe FOB) +#+ and I am cranky about it.#Delete later maybe

truly i need to stop getting angry over the opinions of stupid people who keep themselves ignorant on purpose. AND YET!
#......i had a whole rant in the tags but it was getting not vague enough so I'm keeping it like that#i will say tho. i am trying. so hard. to be patient and understanding and non-judgmental#and i think I'm doing a relatively good job compared to other ppl around me and those i run into online#and yet. and yet. as you can see. i have my limits too. I've been hit with too much stupidity i fear.#I'm not saying I'm much better bc I'm aware I'm not. but I'm trying! really hard! probably too hard which is why I'm constantly in shambles.#anyway i think that's vague enough that no one can attack me without straight up making stuff up themselves so. thanks for reading 👍#vent#i guess. kinda.#less dark than usual at least! 🫡
