When it is really sunny outside, for a moment it feels like it will be sunny all day, even though I know the daylight lasts for 4-5 hours, but when I get to look at a cloudless sky, for a moment it feels like the darkness doesn't even exist anymore. And what is that feeling called? Hope mixed with belief of better days?

Good luck to southern side of the globe as we are stealing the sun and daylight.

#winter #i miss summer I need 20 hours of sunlight I was not made for 20 hours of night time #hope #better things are coming #I was wondering why do I feel a bit of happines and peace / and then I realized my home is lit with just sunshine from the clear sky #and I was like wow #no darkness

— And do you or do you not have difficulty remembering such simple instructions? — Only during thunderstorms, sir.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) / DARK SHADOWS (1966)

#don't mind me just absolutely insane about the possibility (probability!) that vicki saw tsom the year before coming to collinwood.#the boom mic in the stairs shot is always cracking me up.#finally me and you and you and me just us and your friend steve (the boom mic operator)#➤ roger collins & victoria winters. ┊ pain sometimes precedes pleasure，miss winters.#gifs.#➤ edits & art. ┊ the evans cottage art gallery.#➤ roger collins. ┊ I and my ghosts want a drink.#➤ victoria winters. ┊ because she’s lost and lonely. because she looks in shadows.#there's obviously far; far less of a christian overtone in ds — but i wonder if you couldn't make the argument that it isn't also #on some level about belief?#belief; namely; in the ghosts that roger resists and vicki with both arms embraces;#faith in the not-so-minor deity liz stoddard; choosing to follow her doctrine even in the face of conflicting truth.#one might consider collinsport a faithful congregation taking sermons from the mount — from the mouth of the reclusive ascetic;#conveyed by loyal (devastatingly; sacrificially loyal) disciples.#and vicki; searching for belonging; for a home; for a family; falls very lamb-like into the flock.#all old gods of course demand their sacrifices in blood: burke; namely; but also matthew; bill; roger (so-attempted)#if i were pushing it (which I always am) you could go so far as to say collinwood's son rises from the tomb.#''but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night'' etc etc. demanding; first; sacrificial livestock; then virgin blood.#anyway! I digress.#''they say confession is good for the soul. well; my soul needs purifying.''#vicki as the prototypical virgin — the clean slate without history; clear water with neither dirt nor blood —#in which roger cleanses himself (somewhat forcefully!); to wash away guilt and suspicion;#the force of virtue that prevents the intrusion of sin; either through the wood of the confessional or very literally at her bedroom door.#''an innate sense of goodness'' etc; besides being something of a conduit between this world and the next:#re. the seances; the appearances of josette and bill; the various and varied encounters with supernatural; the time travel;#as one might expect of an angel ... or a saint. and one could argue that she goes on to restore roger's faith —#if not in the goodness of the world at large; then the existence of goodness; or in the worth of belief itself.#anyway. long way of saying i love man x his governess whether it's catholic or satanic. sign me up.

Hey, @bilibiche ☺️ Here's some snow, on my walk from my car to my apartment after coming off the night shift this morning, to cheer you up! All the snow we got in November thawed, so we're really happy that this decided to show up before Christmas ☃️

I hope you'll have a good day, my friend!

#crunchy snow #swedish winter #the best part about night shifts is coming home when everyone else is still asleep and everything's quiet

#probably my last sunny walk at home :(#keeeeellll meeeee #i think one of the things i hate about going back to uni is not being able to experience autumn and winter at home like i used to #it’s weird because i’ve always loved them and considered them my favourite seasons.#but last year (and now this year) i’m realizing that oh! i think it’s because i got to come home after a long day and be in a safe familiar #space. and at uni everything is still a bit unfamiliar and not very comforting so the long cold days get so much harder #but i will surviveeeeeee #counting on gilmore girls to get me through it!! and also love is blind s7. i LOVE having things to look forward to every week it makes tim #fly by so fast. last yr every friday night was reserved for me and i ate frozen pizza or takeout and/or my favourite snacks and #watch my comfort films :( i cooked a lot those nights too 2 save money but yeah. it was rlly nice to have that comfy safe time to myself #i think it rlly got me thru uni.#ik it’s gonna be so hard to get back into a routine but im trying to tell myself that i need to like. focus on the basics first. adulting #can be so hard & i wanna do everything at once! i wanna b perfect in all areas. always do my hobbies. etc etc but i #i couldnt even get out of bed to make myself meals sometimes 💔 so i need to like remember if i don’t journal or read a whole book in a day #not the end of the world. and most importantly i need to be EATING and staying active and SLEEPING FIRST and foremost cause then hopefully #i won’t feel like a zombie.#okay anyways.#feeling sad feeling tired feeling unmotivated but also feeling a teensy bit excited for finally BEING ALONE!!!!#i have my cardiologist appt tmrw so maybe that’s why i feel so yuck also. just thinking abt it makes me wanna throw up #i hope everything goes well #anyways bye bye #♡ dear diary…

it's officially fingers going numb season

#I've been having Great luck picking homes that stay very cool in the summer months #but oh boy. i gotta be double layered and double blankied up to just relax around the house #i completely understand why i don't get a lot done during this part of the year 💀 in addition to it being night time before 6 #but i forget this every year. every autumn/winter i forget the joys of summer's warmth and every summer when i long for #the cold i forget how actually cold it gets aksjak. i always been a winter/autumn girlie but i think im more of a spring girl now..#spring and early autumn. luv to see the leaves change love the overcast luv the rain. but cold?? the cold??? hell world #but I'd rather b shaking like a leaf and simply layer up than deal w summer at its worst #god i can't wait to have the boy over tuesday/wednesday COME HERE SIR SHARE UR BODY HEAT W ME I NEED U RN

question: how did you discover/get into scooby doo?

this is something i'm always so interested to hear, being that there are few people who don't have at least some small tie to the franchise. whether you would consider it one of your biggest current interests or it's just something nostalgic from your childhood, i'd love to know how you found scooby and what it means to you!

#for me it was my dad! he grew up with the original show and wanted to introduce it to me #so one day when i was maybe? seven?? he came home with the winter wonderdog dvd and we watched it that night #from there we watched every single scooby doo movie that had ever been made #and got the new ones as they came out in subsequent years!#watching a new scooby movie with my dad every weekend are honestly some of my favourite childhood memories #also what's new scooby doo had also started airing on one of the main cartoon channels here in the uk around 2010 #so that's the show i watched the most consistently as a kid #velma was my original favourite of the gang because i looked a lot like her (big glasses/same haircut/etc.)#people would always compare me to her and it genuinely gave me a lot of confidence in my appearance that stays with me to this day #but fred was always my firm second favourite - he made me laugh the most of any character #and took on a deeper meaning to me in my adolescence when i realised i was autistic and strongly identified with his portrayals as such #the characters are probably what's kept me coming back all this time - they've been with me forever #and i love them individually + as a team who support each other with their unique skills and love for one another #but also the wacky adventures and general aesthetic #many people joke about the basic plot being the same every time but it makes my autistic brain happy #i love permanence and consistency baby!!!!!#and the different variations on that same formula always keep things fresh and fun #anyway ramble over #looking forward to hearing you guys' responses! :D #scooby doo #nem misc posts :]

genuinely can’t tell if this cat I feed sometimes is homeless or not

#the cat isn’t too skinny so I think it might have a home but it comes to my house almost every night and asks for food #it’s friendly too #just wondering who lets their cat outside in the middle of winter to have a midnight snack #if I didn’t have a cat who gets angry at every other cat I’d take this one in

7 months, 7 days, and I have finished campaign 2 of Critical Role.

#i am crying while typing this #holy shit what an experience. how do i begin to describe any of this!#personal log #critical role #the mighty nein #caleb widogast! i watched this whole thing just because he seemed like he was made just for me!#and to follow all of these characters! in so much detail! holy shit!#i started this in the middle of winter on a snowy hill in sweden. got hooked on a night ferry to finland. relistened to favourite moments on #my night train back home to germany. spent the rest of winter and the coming spring with the mighty nein. having them keep me company in #loneliness and physical pain. then sharing some of the experience with my flatmate first and then my girlfriend!#whose live reactions were so amazing to follow!#@jojo: to think you finished the campaign a day before me...!#holy shit (i am repeating myself) this was an experience of a lifetime #(i am sappy and still crying but my point stands)#and omfg caleb widogast and the absolutely insane storytelling from all of them #matt mercer! what a fucking mind and talent you have. and all of the creative people playing rpgs with friends:#this is such a beautiful way of storytelling.

Think I saw the same black van two nights in a row coming home from work so now I’m tryna plan a different route because I am viciously paranoid

It’s also very very windy and I woke up from a nightmare and immediately started panicking and staring out of my window because I thought I heard a car door slam

(I think it’s bin lids now but it still sounds very much like a car door)

Anyway I hate being a girl. Every other path home from work is longer and takes me through even scarier paths but idk what else to do

I just really despise being a girl at times.

#im home alone can you tell lol #im such a solitude loving loner #until night comes and I can’t stop picturing the unspeakable things #and I can’t stop waking up in the middle of the night either I’m so fucking tired #and I don’t even walk home at night!!! bjt fucking fall/winter comes and I have to #which is why I instinctively say I hate this season #sick of it #i love summer evenings when the sun is just setting but it’s still bright #and warm #everyone’s bustling around for dinner or smoking cigs #walk home is peaceful and nice #now??? I walk like someone is personally after me #im scared of every persona dm every car #I keep turning around to check if someone’s behind me #im so so so so sick of it all

Constantly forget that the ceiling and windows are lower in the upstairs room, and think I finally know what people over six feet feel like

#I'm like a giant #Everything is so far away? The windows are lower? The fireplace is lower? I can't visualise furniture in there because my proportions are of #Not that I could get the furniture up the stairs anyway #Ah well that's the least of my problems currently I have one wall that was almost soaking wet the other night due to condensation #Which considering that that's really the only major issue in a house which dates back 400 years I'm trying to be chill about #But I am not succeeding; I'm just wandering around feeling like an utter failure because *checks notes* there is slight damp #which I already knew about because it was on the home report over a year ago when I moved in #And I had people come out and look at it and they told me exactly why and how and when it would happen #I just haven't been able to try their suggestion of the damp-proofing paint because it's winter #But then I'm also concerned because it may be because of a lack of ventilation in the chimney #But I'm going to have reduce the ventilation further because a slug somehow got in #I'm pretty fine with bugs- thank god I'm not scared of spiders because this house has the biggest I have ever seen in my entire life #And I've been to Australia #And there's the odd case of the wasps that kept coming in JUST to die on my windowsill #But slugs are a huge no; I detest them with all my heart and am only slightly better with them now #Because after a few years of mild gardening I a) know they can't catch me (haha slowcoaches) and b) they are good for compost #But they have no place inside my house LEAST OF ALL in the tiny tiny study room on the fourth floor of the building #I'm very very worried about that chimney but I can't open it up to have a look without opening a gigantic can of worms #So we're just going to have to try some tape and some paint and try not to think about the slugs #That's a long way of saying it's an absolutely darling little room and actually the issues on the chimney wall #are basically the only issues in the entire flat #So I really should NOT be complaining but yeah I still feel like I've failed myself and the house and everyone I know #Because a slug got in #The rest of the house is largely bug-proof and the windows the heating the water all work and I have a cosy bed #The roof I'm panicking about a bit but that's because I need to grow a spine and tackle my neighbours like a grown-up not long-term damage #I'm only responsible for part of the building and almost all of it is in good nick and I intend to keep it that way #But I'm still worried and if that little room falls apart it will be my fault but on the other hand it's been there since 1589 so not all me #But everything has been a failure there- none of the furniture fits up the stairs; the floor took three tries to finish; and now wet wall #First world problems EXTREMELY but also hard not to take it personally and feel like I've failed the house #Earth & Stone

It would be a little funny if I broke my toe when I stubbed it this morning (didn’t put my glasses on before going to the bathroom and there was a chair leg :() (I’m being a bit dramatic I think I’m going to be fine but alas)

But it’s so. December. I don’t even really want to go to a specific cafe just for one little treat I’ve wanted to try (it’s over an hour just to do that and I kinda want to catch the earlier transport home). I’m kinda tired still.

Also I’m dressed for the outdoors so I am SWEATING indoors rn and I hate that.

#shatters’ fragments #I mean. more seriously. I have laundry to do #and I have to get my project work out of my sister’s room before she comes back home for the winter break.#and I really wish I got to spend more time with my friend here :(#and right now food is REALLY hard and I didn’t even enjoy my onigiri :(#and I didn’t get a seasonal drink bc the cafe I went to DOESNT HAVE ANY?!? (technically some but they’re there all year round this yr )#but whatever.#trying to stay on a high but anyway.#I’m sleepy #(I slept last night. like a full night. but my body is just crashing a bit now that I have a bit of a break I think)
