#i dont like hunting irl myself but

[birbfeeder2artisticboogaloo]

im just. thinking abt feng xin being an archer like do u think he hunts?? i bet he hunts. maybe he goes for a hunt in the woods with his bow and his horse and he just. stays out there for several days hunting deer and fowl like in a folk song, he's a bold rider and a good shot and finds good hiding spots to ambush his prey and all that. his cheeks are ruddy as he climbs the mountainside and doesn't he look well in his boots and trousers!!!! (<- actual lines from actual folk songs that actually exist actually 😔👌)

bonus. what if one day mu qing goes with him. he complains the whole time but actually he just wants to be together. fx whittles a hairpin out of bone or antler for him. mq sitting on a fallen log to criticise fx's technique, and also to admire feng xin's strength when he's chopping wood or carrying a carcass on his big shoulders sidsoihdfsdjfsdjsafsdfasgg

ok this is unprompted but if you pride yourself on being the reason people leave a space for something they genuinely love and have done no objective wrong - youre a piece of shit btw. like full send youre horrible.

PEOPLE. #who figured we were having fun the wrong way because they didnt like it #and we put up all the flashing neon signs to warn people #warn them of smth they should have already known #and just because people ignored those signs it was taken out on us anyway #and i have never been so heartbroken to watch one by one as some of the brightest people i ever knew #started leaving. breaking down. their light was being stomped out because some assholes cant mind their own #and i will be fucking damned before i stand by and let that happen again. to anyone.

doll collection post

Hi guyz!! so somebody asked me to post my doll collection a while back and I put it off because i'm trying to rearrange my setup but its taking much longer than expected due to irl stuff.

But I dont wanna wait anymore! Feel free to just scroll through the pictures, you don't have to read the commentary if you don't want to. In fact you don't have to scroll through any of this at all. I wrote a lot because I am severely neurodivergent. Having a genuine blogging moment rn.

I have been waiting forever for an excuse to post my collection!! I was so happy someone suggested I do so.

I don't have a lot of room for everybody! Everyone is scattered around my room, but I try my best to display them nicely...

My G1 collection is moderately sized, these dolls are expensive and difficult to find. There are so many more I want, like Dead Tired Lagoona or Sweet 1600 Draculaura to go with my Sweet 1600 Clawdeen...sigh. But it just keeps getting harder! I am actually content with stopping my G1 collecting hunt for now and instead focusing on G3... Many of these dolls are from my dear friends, especially Leo and Raven (hi guyz!). Without my friends, I would only have three of these dolls... I am so lucky to be so loved!!!

I don't have many bratz that are in good enough shape to be on display. I really grew up on bratz rather than monster high... but again...these dolls get expensive! Roxxi was always a favorite of mine and a crush! Growing up, I was the type of kid who almost exclusively wanted one brat though. Yasmin. Not Cloe, Jade, or Sasha. I was devoted to collecting Yasmin because she looked similar to me. In retrospect, I really wish I had gotten more of the other girls...I do have some...though their numbers pale in comparison to the Yasmin army.

The ball-jointed doll is my most expensive doll and my largest doll (she is fucking ginormous). Even when buying her at half the original price (great deal from a great friend) she was hardly affordable.

I bought her because I plan on customizing her to be Flandre Scarlet, my ultimate comfort character! I've always dreamed of having a doll of Flan. SO why not make one myself? I've had her for months but am still too scared to cut that beautiful hair off...I'm no good at cutting wigs/hair in general. I did install her red eyes myself which I've never done before as this is my first and probably last bjd! She is gorgeous but I would consider these dolls luxury items... VERY EXPENSIVE.

(idk why the exposure is so high on these, sorry!! >_<;)

I am so happy to have the coffin bean playset!! I think it was a really good idea to get it. but I am so sad because I have hardly any room for it! So It's sitting on my dresser in front of a giant mirror so please excuse the poor editing I did to obscure the reflection of me and my living space lol...

I gave my Twyla low pigtails, though they aren't very visible, and my Clawdeen braids! I think Clawdeen looks super cute this way tbh I tried curling her hair again and again and again but the curls always fell out (I dont have much experience)...but honestly... I think I like this look even better ^_^. You can see her ears so well this way.

This Clawdeen is basically my holy grail and it was gifted to me by Leo, Leo if you're reading this I hope you know you are basically Jesus.

not to get deep but the OMG doll next to her is special to me because it is one of the last gifts I got from my late Grandpa. He took me to target and when I said I liked the doll, no questions asked, he bought her for me. Didn't give me shit for liking dolls at my big age. He simply got her for me because she made me happy, and he wants me to be happy. Dolls can mean so much. Again, I am so lucky to be so loved!!! >:D

I have this gorgeous Draculaura just chilling next to my jewelry cuz I have nowhere else to put her and honestly she is gorgeous and should stand alone.

Here I have the pride Bratz next to my bed!!! They mean so much to me, as I said earlier I had a crush on Roxxi. To see she's a canon lesbian now is so incredible!! And Nevra, her girlfriend, is beautiful! They are so cute together... they are never leaving that box though. This was actually the first doll/set of dolls where I fully understood why people are content leaving dolls in their boxes. I love to play with my dolls so much... but I could never play with these two!! If anything happened to them I would lose my mind.

Now... you're probably thinking......where the hell is Lagoona?!?! Do you not have one despite loving her this much? Of course I have a Lagoona. I AM GROWING AN ARMY!!!!!!

I really, really love Lagoona...I want to get every Lagoona doll I possibly can. Isn't she so cute! I relate to her character in the cartoon a lot too... her life at home, her difficulties speaking up when she is sad or angry, her sporty personality, etc etc... She has quickly claimed her spot as biggest comfort character #2. I included many pictures because I simply cannot pick one, she is flawless. You might recognize the Lagoona on the left, I drew her in that exact pose recently!!

I have her army on my desk, giving me the strength I need to get through my work... like Homer Simpson with his pictures of baby Maggie at his work. I get endless inspiration and motivation from Lagoona!!!

And here is the Flandre shrine bonus... I adore her!! I also have finally ordered a fumo flan that should arrive in august around my birthday eeek!!!

Anyways that is my collection. It's been many years in the making, though it's almost doubled since monster high G3 released... Mattel truly has me by the balls right now. If you read any of this, thank you. I put a lot of time into making this post, and it was really fun. I feel like a real blogger right now.

I really really enjoy dolls and talking about them. So I will happily do so anytime I get the chance!!! Will probably do an update once I finally install some more shelves and move stuff around <3

hiiihihii!! im backkkk to tell u abt my rdr playthough bc im bored asf haha

¡love this game omg!! the graphics, the story, the details UGH!!!!

hunting is actually so fun for no reason- i bought so many fancy ass guns too 😭

also my play type whenever i play ANY story game thats open world is to do every possible thing every except the actual story so i get a bunch of stuff and then its so muvh easier

in short i have 6000+ dollars 😋

bonus of exploring everything is i got thw white arabian and i love her sm ‼️‼️ i named her pearl and she is my baby

dress up is my seconf favorite hobby

my fav outfit rn is the red vest w the floral pattern on the front (i forget what its called) n the black french dress shirt underneath + the bison necklace talisman

(also arthur w medium-long length hair n short facial hair>>>)

this game is so detail oriented, its kind of insane- im doing a high honor run atm, and i came across the blind beggar for the third (?) time and the blind guy said and i quote

"that is which killing you will finally help you, friend- to hear and see."

is this foreshadowing this feels like foreshadowing

also ik arthurs dies (bc of tiktok edits and fics, they artists in this fandom is amazing!!!) and im not prepared at all 😭 im going to procrastinate so bad 

ALSO CHARLES DESERVES SO SO MUCH I LOVE HIM

yk the hole lil speech he has at the campfire yk "most human beings seem to know why they were born but, for me- its seems i was just mean ton hurt and suffer myself" that one

im bawling istg if he doesnt get a good ending im going to be writing a formal complaint to rockstar games

anyways

tw opinions (ik bro its crazy to have opinions in 2024 whattt no wayy)

ive gotten to the point in playing where im in ch 3, and the only way i can progress the actual story is to help micah rob a stagecoach or whatever

micah is a bastard and i dont like him

him as a character is rlly well written and awesome but,,,,,hes,,,slimy,,and i hate him,,,,so he can wait for a little longer ☺️

my favorite characters rn in no particular order is

arthur (obviously) , charles , sean , javier , tilly , marybeth , and kieran

my pookies ‼️‼️

moving on im so sorry this is so so long 😭 idk anyone who likes rdr irl lmao

anyway hope u have a nice day and no wolves attack you and spoke ur horse who bucks you off a cliff

(in rdr btw)

((true story also))

yo, having 6k in chapter 3 is amazing. good for you!

my first playthrough i got the white arabian and i named her Lemoyne Tree as a tribute to the state of Lemoyne and my favorite post malone song Lemon Tree. But she always got super dirty so i then went to the lake next to Strawberry and tamed the red chestnut arabian. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that one, she's gorgeous and arthur always gets that one when i play it. my beautiful baby girl Diablo <3

also yes. heckin FUCK MICAH BELL. even from the beginning he's been a slime ball. hate that man <3

i won't go too far, but just keep yourself high honor towards the end of the game. you need that to be your first ending. :')

Charles deserves the absolute world. just listening to him speak and hanging out with him at camp, and the missions you continue on to do with him throughout the game are so much fun. charles is someone i wish i could have in my real life because he seems like he would be the best person to speak to and hang out with. he is so lovely and down to earth. even arthur says it a couple times throughout the game. charles gets a good ending i promise.

my top blorbos are Arthur, Dutch, Charles, Hosea, and Josiah Trelawny my absolute beloved <33333 just wait until you go on the mission with Charles to find trelawny. one of my favorite missions ever ever ever ever!!

a lot of people dislike dutch, but i love him so much. he is my actual father. i love him.

i also hate john. let me know how you feel about that little greasy weasel of a man. :)))

i'm so so so glad you're having fun and i am very invested, so please continue to keep me updated on what ur doing because i need to live vicariously through you. if i could erase my entire mind and replay the game over and over again for the first time, i totally would

Hi Zak, would you recommend majoring in something you enjoy doing?

I enjoy writing (and beta reading), and plan to major in something like liberal arts or creative writing, but I'm not sure if I should.

I feel like I might get burnt out if I choose to major in one of that, but also, I'm worried about my future job prospects.

I've heard of people who majored in fine arts and end up having to do a job they dislike cuz no money for the work, and idk if it's worth it. :(

~ 📝 (is this taken?)

hey there notes!anon (will be tagging u as this!!), ty for the ask!!

i'd like to preface everything im going to say with like, this is my Own opinion based on my own experience, and your experiences may differ, so not everything i say may apply to you and your circumstances. im frankly always surprised when i get asks asking for advice on life stuff, because i myself definitely do not have my life together in any way. still, i hope something in my perspective can be useful somehow to you

i personally am not sure/am not knowledgeable about a liberal arts major (because my college didnt have a course like that) but i CAN talk about the effects/benefits/cons of a creative writing major because i myself am a creative writing graduate

and first off, job availability is not as big of a problem for CW graduates as many people think. lots of industries need creative writers. it may not be the industry you expected or originally wanted, but the prospects are definitely there. when i was job hunting, off the top of my head, here were the jobs i applied to (and thus felt somewhat qualified for, with my CW degree): advertising copywriter, SEO writer, english teacher/tutor, writing for print magazines, writing game guides for online websites, writing scripts for games, copyediting, corporate copywriting. and that is very much the tip of the iceberg, because there are a lot of jobs that i overlooked that i couldve qualified for but i wasnt personally interested in.

now on the topic of burnout......i'll be real with you: no matter what you major in in college, burnout will happen if you dont adequately manage yourself.

burnout is not exclusive to creative endeavors, it's an effect of too much work + lack of control (perceived or real) + a whole lot of other factors that are VERY common to experience in college. essentially, college is a CAUTION: BURNOUT PRONE AREA simply due to how it's designed/structured. so no matter what course you choose, it will be a danger. so it's less of picking a course and more of how you protect yourself against burnout that will help you more in the long run

that being said, i got burnt out a TON when i was in college because of my mental illness(TM) and also because i was generally bad at pacing myself and taking care of myself. but what got me through was my sheer dedication to writing.

one thing about college is that i think you should pick something that you like enough that even when you feel like you hate it to the high heavens (because you definitely might, what with how stressful college requirements are), there is still something stronger about your tie to that course that pulls you through

for me, it was personal passion and commitment to writing. writing has always been the one thing i knew i wanted to do since the beginning of time, so no matter how much i hated it on all nighters i was working on my thesis manuscript, i pulled through

essentially, to prevent/survive burnout: manage yourself + pick whatever course you want where the "but" in "oh my god i hate this course, BUT..." is a strong one. if you have no strong ones as of the moment, thats alright. you can build it up as you go along

now on the topic of "working a job they dislike" i will be real with you once more..............this is a more common reality of life than having a job you do like. i am a statistical anomaly in the sense that i generally enjoy my job, but a lot of the time (based on what my irl friends go through with their jobs) you end up with a job you didnt expect you'd get into and dont necessarily enjoy. but....it pays the bills. it pays for you to enjoy the stuff you do when youre not working. and thats a valid way to get through life as well.

life after college, contrary to what people want you to believe, is not 100% taken up by your job. or at least it shouldnt be. or at least you should work to make sure it isnt. this might be, again, because im coming from a privileged perspective of having the time to pursue other things like hobbies and interests in addition to having a job, but if you also have the resources to do so, then definitely do so.

all in all: "would you recommend majoring in something you enjoy doing?" it.....depends. i recommend majoring in something you feel strongly enough about that you will continue to do it even when it's not enjoyable 100% of the time. but dont worry about jobs, because a CW degree is definitely useful in the job market. and dont worry about burnout, because that exists in all courses anyway, not just CW.

that is!!......all i think i have to say about ur q, i think

i hope some part of this can be helpful, notes!anon. and im wishing you the best in your decision!!! :D

#notes!anon #asks #my job hunting era was a wild ride. remember when i got a job interview for writing romance games? #wild given what my current interest and fixation is HAHAHA

[rene-is-an-insomniac]

Heya Scaranation!

I don't think anyone has ever connected this song to Wanderer, but it connects to him so well.

I'll be analyizing how this song connects to all 4 versions of Raiden Shogun's prototype puppet.

Song: Talkin about Bri.

Lyric connections

I killed that bitch Brianna with her body with her name, so if you see me irl dont call me that again(dont call me that shit).

Obviously Wanderer mentions that he has no need for these past names. Also he mentions to dislike his past actions.

Back when I went by Brianna, back when I ain't had a dollar, had to make ends meet.

Relating to his time as Kabukimono. Kabukimono is pinocchioish and impressionable. His personality forms from the people he alllows around him. Running away can connect to after his time in Tatarasuna with his betrayls.

Last I heard, she's gettin' meaner

Late Kabu stage, Kunikuzushi, Scara, even Wanderer.

I'd rather kill myself than reminisce on who I used to be I'll put a bounty out on every memory someone has of me

Mentions that he never wish Ei created him at all. (in his trailer i think?)

He mentions that the descendants of the Raiden G. can hunt him down and he won't mind one bit.

You ever wish you could erase all that took place and just start clean? Stuck in the past, too much regret Can I go back, please?

He literally erases himself in the archon q, so you get it. I don't think per se he wabts to go back to his time before the Fatui. (Could be wrong?)

I sat up straight, I got straight A's, ate all the veggies on my plate And yet; I'm 20, still a dummy And I'm fucking overweight

If you chabge the lyrics to fit him, can relate to his time with Ei as Kabu and his present.

Techinicaly can be past as Kabu and his last days as Scara chasing a heart.

Do you like me, everybody? Look to you for validation

In his past selves he was seeking attention from someone and it didnt matter if the attention was bad or good.

We are two separate entities

He has 4. Kabu, Kuni, Scara and Wanderer.

Thanks for listening to my analysis. This is his theme song as Wanderwr on my playlist.

I'll do another analysis for Freminet next time!

#*waves* and off i go back to tears of the kingdom

[deathbydarkelves]

ough that wedding response was a good one! ur culture building for nelfs is awesome!

for my question i was wondering if u had thought much about the inherent sexism nelf culture dealt with before changes made at the end of the third war. WoW takes the *everyone is equal and the past is forgotten* path but i cant really see that considering how much people irl struggle with the same changes and also dont live 10000 years lol

Thank you!! I had a lot of fun writing that wedding post :>

Anyway, your question…

In general, yeah, I write them as still hanging on to the basis of those ideas. I don't push it to the extreme irl level because that shit fucking sucks and is not fun to write or think about!!! And is also not what it looks like in night elf culture!!

Druid women and priest men are still considered kinda strange/noteworthy. Sentinel men are a minority and it's definitely still a "woman thing." While Tyrande is away on her hunt, Malfurion (and Shandris) are left in charge and… not a whole lot happens because Malfurion just doesn't have the executive power. He's mostly there to hold down the fort. Beyond that, most heroes in kaldorei legends are women, etc. It's even inherent in their language and the way things are normally phrased; it goes "women and men" in Darnassian (and you'll see that in the way I write my characters' dialogue).

It's not like men are actively prevented from being priests or Sentinels or that women are actively prevented from being druids, but they are conditioned from a young age not to. Women being fighters and connected to the heavens, and men being more secluded and connected to the wild, is deeply ingrained in the culture. Again, it's reinforced in art, in story, in language, and so on. Those kinds of things don't change overnight, even after a war that fundamentally alters one's way of life.

Couple that with extremely long lives and extremely low birthrates and yeah this sort of cultural shift will take a ridiculous amount of time. Beyond it now being much easier to get into the Sentinels/druids/priestesses as "the other gender", I'd say not much has actually changed on a deeper level. Opening up who could join what was out of necessity, and a lot of people still see it like that. Granted, exposure to other societies is gonna move things along a little faster, but even still the kaldorei prefer to stick to their own, generally speaking. Out of habit, really.

So TL;DR while they are generally moving towards egalitarianism, it's happening wayyyy slower than how Blizzard writes it.

Side note, while on the topic: we support trans rights here and trans nelves who fall into the binary are treated as their gender, not assigned sex (trans women are women, etc lol). So a trans woman will be more readily accepted into the Sentinels than druids, for example. Trans people who don't fit as easily into the boxes… it kinda depends on the vibe. They may even have their own, Secret Third/Fourth/Fifth/+ Thing. I haven't explored that too deeply yet, I admit. I'm also not trans myself so whatever insight I have on that isn't gonna be as big and beefy as a trans person's (and I welcome people giving their thoughts on such a thing). I figure bigender and genderfluid people who shift between the two binaries are noteworthy, though... perhaps seen as a bridge between the heavens and the wilds? Something like that.

[eliias-bouchard]

ok hold on just for clarification are you like. pro transid etc.

i try and stay out of transid discourse for a variety of reasons:

with transdisability / transneurodivergency, i find it difficult to understand who the discourse serves? like, witch-hunting transautistics is not beneficial to me, as an autistic person, and if a transautistic is helping with fighting systemic anti-autistic ableism/sanism, then good.

i also find it difficult to understand exactly how transdisability / transneurodivergency is harmful beyond the emotional response of "how dare you romanticise my suffering". it's an extremely niche online discourse, online resources (i.e "tips on managing autism" posts, pages/blogs about disability, etc) cannot be depleted, and irl resources are either locked behind a diagnosis, difficult to get ahold of, or both, that i have no concerns that a transdisabled/transnd person will ever meaningfully take resources or whatever. the worst that could happen is that some impressionable preteen gets a really weird perspective of disablity/neurodivergency but like, they do that already

like even if some department of work and pensions dickhead is like "people on the internet are calling themselves transdisabled we need to develop a more rigorous screening process that will make more disabled people want to die when trying to get on benefits", thats not really the fault of transdisabled people? that's just systematic ableism.

it's not a discourse i'm currently capable of participating in or even researching without the kneejerk "they're romanticising my suffering" reaction, and if i am going to participate in it then i want to do so with a clear head and an understanding mindset, both of which i can't achieve right now

and there are, of course, cases where someone who is autistic finds transautistic to be a helpful "gateway label" (where their previous/current identification as transautistic helps them in realising/acknowledging/accepting their autism), there are probably people with a super weird relationship with being autistic (like, someone who was diagnosed as a child, and then their family hid this from them or gaslit them about it, etc, and then they later find out that they're autistic) who find transautistic to be a useful label,

with transrace, i'm white and i do not have a strong enough understanding of race like at all to have an opinion on any of it.

so like, idk if i can really be described as pro or anti transid? i try not to make myself the arbiter of people's internal experiences & i want to extend compassion and understanding to as many people as i can. i dont know enough or care enough to really make a comment on it.

my opinion on transplural is different because its like. a thing that you can do? no matter whether or not it's a good thing, or should be done, or if certain groups of people should do it, or what it should be called, or how it should be done, it is possible for someone who has been a singlet for their entire life to create a new guy in their brain and thus be plural.

is transplural a super good term? is it transphobic? i mean, i don't think so. other people probably disagree with me, but i don't really find that relevant. i don't see a way that it's tangibly harmful or transphobic beyond, again, "youre romanticising my suffering", and i don't really have an interest in discoursing about whether or not something is harmful based on my or someone else's kneejerk reaction to it

and honestly, if someone considers their plural journey to be similar to transitioning, hell yeah! queer the identity.

but i mean, with the post i made, the person did literally say "i am in support of people creating systems" (which is what willogenic means) but then also said "i am not in support of people creating systems". if it were the term transplural specifically, they made no indication of that

i think time and time again why i sometimes feel detached from my username/yearn for having kept some others, and the fact that i cant really change this one in some simple way because it does use my name. but i think its because i have honestly been very detached from my old sona "morry". ya know? i went from identifying with my fursona and using its name, to now hardly identifying outwardly as a furry (not in a "im not a furry" way, just that i dont get into fandom stuff?) and the sona i do use doesnt use my name nor to i refer to it as myself.

i do still identify with my name being morry! but i think it explains why internet presence wise, something has just felt off. prior to this username and my fursona, i very much did not have a name. like at all. i had usernames ppl called me, and it wasnt until i got into my young/mid teen years where i was hunting down an identity to stick with on myself (this also includes gender and sexuality!). i mean, thats not a weird thing. i was on tumblr, making friends, etc. why dont i have a name for myself? esp because im trans, i needed something else.

but i think now... externally and internally.... being comfortable with myself doesnt include 'typical' identifiers. i dont ID with a gender label personally (only find words to let others know easily), nor sexuality. all of them i have words for if i need but i dont take them for my identity. no when i go from the obsessive to hold myself together with words as a 15 year old to now, comfortable with existence that does not need to be defined, i think its what leaves me with this urge to fall back into usernames for username's sake.

like, the separation i think is what i miss. before (early internet) it felt like you solidly had an online username that was not your real irl name/was really its own identifier even if you had some other kinda easy first name ppl called you. but for me, in my head, tying together irl name to username has muddied the border between my irl self and online self. when i went by redmuttz, manedprince, single-malt-scotch, godsteeth, cyy-evee, cannibalisticbeute.... none of those were related to my real name.

i guess as i have kinda gone back and removed some (personal) information from some old profiles and present ones, its me kinda wanting that. i want my online life to feel like another world, like it did when i was younger. not in a way of detaching in an unhealthy/blind way. just the way that i can remind myself to separate parts of me.

#you may want to ask why i keep pondering this and why dont i just do it. #i get it. i really want to i really do. maybe i am building courage #its just the whole. association. my name tied to my 'brand' #i have my minecraft servers and my discord and my website etc #i couldnt force myself into a new username while trying to keep 'illusion' bc it wouldnt work for me #if i wanted to change i want to change entrirely

I can’t be the only person who sometimes forgets their ocs aren’t canon right?? RIGHT???

So fun fact about me: I have a South Park newsies comic au that I run on Instagram (not naming it but it’s obvious it’s mine if anyone finds it) and I have stopped myself many a time from having my main oc do something/ be someone because she doesn’t fucking exist??? Like I have my art acc linked to the au so it’s only a 30 second hunt to find out who tf valorie is and why she looks like that but even though she’s real in my heart it just makes no sense for her to be here at all!!!

I also have an owl house oc who’s a human in the witch world and I also have these little moments where I see memes about episodes and stuff and I’m like ‘no that didn’t happen Melly literally stopped that from happening??’ And then I remember that Melissa Belos isn’t real and Belos never dropkicked a baby (that’s a whole other topic for another time tho) and hunter isn’t actually dating her and Winter is real and I also sometimes get annoyed that Melly isn’t included in group fanart like there aren’t only like 55 people who even know she exists 😭😭😭

OHHHH MY GOD AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON VRISKA I have a bbc ghosts oc because why not and she’s just silly and goofy and also super cringe like she died in 2016 because she tripped on her shoe laces (which she stole from the President) watching a Steven universe theory video 😭😭😭 SHE NAMED HERSELF AFTER A HOMESTUCK CHARACTER 😭😭😭😭 but anyways I’ll be talking to my sister/irl friends who like it and I’ll be like ‘yeah wouldn’t it be funny if in season 5 pat and Vriska-‘ and then I have to stop like 🗿🗿🗿🗿 Vriska isn’t real you made her up 🗿🗿🗿🗿

This was super rambly and stuff but I’ve been caught out too many times there has to be at least one person who can relate to this stuff

Where have I been?

Hi, Victoria here! ^^

Sorry for not posting or tell anyone of my progress after the news of Technoblade’s passing that also not only made me sad but it also made me toke a two week break from writing. Right now I am back in writing but at the small slow pace as I am trying to world build my story well without rushing it to make it ugly

So far I am definitely gonna think new ways to improve Prologue 3 which is not yet made as I haven't like decided how to start it so I apologize but I will work it on august hopefully however Im sure those who knows what is happening with Genshin.

We got leaks of what Sumeru is like (Rip Primos and wallets to everyone) and Im very excited as everyone who read my main Sagau or Sagau crossover of DSMP/SBI reader Sumeru and Snezahaya are the only ones who are not involved of the Imposter chase which i will try my best to explain why only those two nations did not hunt us down while rest such as Natlan and Fontaine hunted us down when one of them are supposedly could help us but I won't spoil why as I am waiting for Natlan and Fontaine to come so that I can work my way on them without making the characters in those nations look OOC when they are not out yet TwT

And of course the famous teaser that is about the Harbingers reaction to Signora’s death to which I did not expect it revealed all Harbingers and damn I wonder how the main SAGAU writers will write about them especially Regrator who caught my interest with Arlecchino UwU

But uh back in the Topic 😂

So like currently I am suffering a huge skin allergies which is a pain in the neck and I have no idea when it will be gone which is quite sad and annoying as the itchyness is hard to control sometimes TwT But don't worry I am doing okay XD

Although a bit oof a news.

The technolade tribute will have a bit changes as i decided to make it around the imposter au of Sagau but this will be more of Reader and Techno centric so basically more onto the Dream SMP so for those who dont know Dream SMP or never watch but came here for the SAGAU you can read it or not read it since I only made my story just for fun and so far I already have massive ideas for the "Leave me Alone and Let me build my s**t" such as I now decided that there will be like changes since i just edit this today and this draft was like last week XD

And what changes is that Prologue one will have addition of a Torture scene that a friend wanted me to add and I thought it would fit considering I decided to go around my Prologues and Interlude to add the Dark themes since things will go dark and very much have high tension once we get to the main plot of how the story began or rather how Reader felt being chased along with being labeled as an imposter when she is not.

So around August there will be a short (or not short due to my brainstorming and OCD build up whoops 😂😂) Prologue 3.5 or which uh basically is before the actually Prologue 3. What i mean is that 3.5 will mostly be a calm before the storm which will be another short point of view of the characters before Doomsday and I know everyone is not happy when they are waiting for the Doomsday to happen and Ill be honest I myself always is not happy but I have to do it so I can break expectations and also 3.5 will have a Harbingers and you guys will have to figure out who the traitor that spoke to Dainsleif because its gonna be a plot twist when you realize it was not them but another character who I always used my support XD

I wont spoil much but I can say hopefully Prologue 3 Doomsday will be moved on September since I do full chapters once a month due to being busy irl and school. I hope you guys understand especially its not easy to make a huge build up plot with worldbuilding and trying to make the characters in character without making them go OOC.

But yes this month I will do my best to finish the Technoblade tribute with reader and I can say there will be angst, comfort and a bit of a hint of the future chapters of my main story OwO! Despite i am supposed to rest with Allergies I need to make sure you guys will get enough SAGAU x DSMP/SBI reader XD

So I hope you guys understand and Inbox is open for questions which I will answer in my own pace as I am trying to get these allergies healed TwT

So yeah that's all! ^^

//I know for a fact I lost some followers after my Nuzi rant [considering how I cant open ProjectAnomaly's tumblr blog anymore]

I'm not gonna bite your head off or witch hunt you if you ship it?

And like. When I talk about my dislike for N x Uzi, it's not to say "hey dont ship it" or "dont ship what you like", because I myself ship J x V and V x N and Doll x Lizzy for multiple reasons! Doll x Lizzy is a comfort ship for me, and how could I forget my lovely Guns n Roses [Zara x Tessa]

But when I say "N x Uzi makes me feel gross and icky inside and the 'relationship' they have feels forced, please dont flaunt it around as canon until we get actual confirmation", I mean it reminds me of how the BMLB ship went from RWBY, and also reminds me of some irls that have caused a bunch of romance trauma and make me really uncomfortable and act exactly like them and I cannot ship or stand n x uzi.

I just

Eugh.

Why are you working yourself up so much over this blog? Is it your main source of income? Is it relevant to your survival in any shape or form? Do you really NEED it in your life to be happy? Is the validation you get through it so important? These are questions i keep asking myself a lot too. I don't want to give you any adivce on what to do with your blog, cause that is only up to you what you decide in the end. but maybe think about why this makes you feel so horrible cause it seems to happen a lot lately and its worrying.

Just... take care of yourself is what I'm trying to say 💖

Idk what's really wrong with me, man. But I appreciate you breaking it down like this to me. & uh. More stuff under the break. Please feel free to ignore, I just want to get this shit off my mind...

To be fair, I really don't have any sort of social life irl... at all. Here? This is basically the only place I'm actually able to be myself & my blog kinda turned into a huge vent station for me because I can't get out my thoughts or issues anywhere else haha

Then beyond my blog, my art dies in my sketchbooks. I don't have anyone to show my crap to. I don't have anyone to babble with about any of my fandoms or AUs. That's why this blog has become so much of an emotional struggle for me. I love it & I hate it both.

I know the hunt for neverending validation is toxic & impossible as hell, but it genuinely feels good to know I have anything of an audience for my silly content beyond me myself & I. No matter, I can barely even process compliments or positive responses while my insecurities are on an all time high lmao

But also, dont get me wrong! I'm very very grateful for the friends I've made here!... but true deep set lonesomeness can't be fixed so easily.

I just always feel like a nuisance. I don't think my work is any good at all & so any nice comments tend to ring hallow because... well, how could it mean anything really when all I see is my own ineptitude?

Anyways. I know I'm a pain in the ass & my mental health is a fucking roller coaster. I know leaving here long term would be healthy for my mental state but also. At what cost?

Sorry for the ramble. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know if any of this makes sense. I don't know. I'm just numb & hurting all at once. I'm sorry I'm like this.
