i know if this post has been made once its been made a million times but it really sucks how people purely treat mitski as a ‘sad girl indie’ artist like her music is to cry to & thats all, instead of not only a great musician but also visual artist, who is trying to communicate not just entertain with her music.

tue, aug 1st (day 2)
I finally did a successful workout today (only 20 minutes but it was more intense than the workouts I used to do before I got a trial on a workout app (The subscription is way too high so I'm just using it to try something new and collect new exercises)) and made oatmeal with honey and strawberries and some coffee because I was still feeling hot from the workout. I didn't use to drink coffee almost at all until this summer when I needed something to cool down so I tried to make something that was basically a spoonful of coffee with sugar mixed in a glass of milk, added ice and have been making a better (and iceless) version of that since even when it's colder. But I still prefer tea in the morning and can't wait for autumn.
Anyways. Spent most of the morning turning a thrifted shirt into a pillowcase while rewatching a whole season of The Good Place and then ate a whole pack of paprika-flavoured crisps instead of the pre-made pasta for lunch (they were delicious. and left some marks on the fabric.)
And because I was so excited about it and really wanted to finish it, I kind of strayed from my routine only the second day in, and arrived at the library almost two hours later than I was supposed to. Which is kind of a point I'd like to talk about for a little bit.
It took me literal years to find a balance between perfectionism and complete chaos. I kept putting everything into stupid school presentations just to make them tip-top, getting migraines from the stress and then had a long period in the past half-year when I was just letting myself do anything I wanted and eventually started having slight breakdowns when something wasn't going according to my expectations. It's rooted in deeper psychological issues that one has to work on, therapy is recommended, and you might need to sever ties with some toxic people in your life.
What I'm trying to say is, I still got a lot done today, I still arrived at the library and took more notes on rabbits. I used my time well, even though not perfectly according to the schedule.
There will come a time (maybe when you lose your daily schedule completely) when you realize that it's all made up and you need time off just as much as you need some time spent working and accomplishing something. You do need both. Burnout is hard to recover from. But if you play all day, every day and bend to your own every whim, you'll eventually start feeling like shit.
I'll be posting something about my own new (temporary) daily schedule soon, about putting it together and how I manage it in practice. For now, have some evening reading aesthetics and my new cosy pillow, and enjoy your day :)

Tbh I think maybe the infantilizing of Roman is part of why I'm having trouble with the trans girl HC even though I support it conceptually, because it does feel like kind of a weird uncomfortable caricature just in the way I see some people writing about it. Idk if it's just me being a hypocrite or having shitty bias, but I think I just always find grown women acting like babies off-putting even if it does make sense for the character.
nah... i kinda get what you mean like, if tgirl roro wasn't too sexually repressed then she probably would be into ddlg or baby talk, and if she was as sexually repressed as she is in canon then she would still be very immature and probably model herself after a marilyn monroe character.
Roman does get infantilized by the fandom, but it's also something he does himself which is why his form of arrested development is so disturbing to me, like he does not act like shiv's older brother at all, which is why the fandom pretends that he is either younger than her or the same age as her, which is lame and also an easy way to admit that you're fave's canonical behavior towards his little sister weirds you out too much lol.
The only time roman actually acts like a normal big brother towards shiv during the entire series is, when he protects her from ken in the finale and that is more about ken losing his mind and physically charging at his pregnant sister in the first place.
Honestly, roman very much wants to be the baby of the family and is mentally stuck at 15, so tgirl roman would be similar and forever be a 15 year old girl.
I do get where you're coming from and no you're not biased for being uncomfortable with grown women acting like little girls because it makes me sick too.

so I'm jumping on the train of putting out a list of what i read in 2022! I've never done this before so - hey! something new for 2023 it seems. Most of these were audiobooks, but not all of them. More than anything I'm just surprised i didn't do a re-read of any Austen... I usually do re-read at least one Austen per year. But I'm sure i can always tack those on to this year :)

anyway. gillions hair is the texture of green algae and he bites things and has a big fatty muscular fish tail and when he switches from breathing with his gills to breathing with his lungs he has to empty all the water out through his mouth and its really gross and hes got claws and scratches things by accident a lot and hes not a very good singer but he does it anyway and pretzel is a therapy animal and his corals will bleach if he doesnt take care of them so they start going pale if he gets sick/hurt and his skin is sort of rubbery and he eats raw fish straight from the ocean with his teeth and he is deeply deeply superstitious and sorta paranoid and on guard 101% of the time because of how he was raised and hes gullible and dumb sometimes but hes not stupid hes just out of his element
