#i'll be fine/gen

[give-soup-please]

you know that thing where you go outside for the first time in several weeks and the sunlight hits your face and you go to a coffee shop and suddenly life feels manageable again?

yeah

#depression has been kicking my ass lately #it's a combination of seasonal depression and making the choice to end a friendship #i don't really have any stunning conclusions to make here #but that part when you spend a few minutes in sunlight and it feels like the cobwebs get shaken a little #makes me smile #i'll be fine/gen #there's no need to worry #ya boi soup has it rough at the moment #i'm debating starting to post the chapters of my longfic #i have three or four chapters waiting and ready to go #just so i can get some serotonin and positive reviews #but seriously though- this isnt my first rodeo with depression #and it will not be my last- because i will make sure i live #fuck the haters- summon the energy to go outside for a bit- it will help #i'm headed out again today #to a coffee shop to work on homework

Me, fighting tooth and nail against my irl friends who are sw*fties: yeah well, maybe I want my sad girl music to have a 3 minute guitar solo and distorted audio after the second verse of vaguely gay lyrics have you considered that ?!

Freij

Freije Known for their fringed ears, thick dark hair, and natural resistance the frigid temperatures of the north. Freije seals take on a white or pale-blue hue, contrasting against their dark skin. Typically asymmetrical and unique to each individual, they have been widely (and fittingly) remarked as resembling snowflakes and frost, consisting of radial pattern of crystal-like markings.

Matriar The military and naval prowess of Freij is recognized across Elothia, and its Matriar reflects that. As Leader and Admiral, She dons the military vestments of the region, although ornamented and embroidered to indicated Her regal station. She also carries on Her person, just as the officers under Her, a dagger and sabre. Typically these would be highly decorated commissioned works, much like Her chokha and kalpak. However the current Matriar has forgone the tradition, preferring to don and wield the standard arms of her men. As Impero recently saw a Patris leave the throne, Freij is likely to see one on theirs in the coming centuries as the current Matriar has only one son and seemingly no interest in bearing another child.

Czars State officials and Generals to Her Majesty. Much like the Matriar, Czars are outfitted in military garb and keep a dagger and sabre on their person. While still decorated to denote them as officers of import, it is not to the level of the Matriar.

Citizens Despite the high tolerance to the northern climate that they have become known for, Freije are born incredibly susceptible to the cold. Newborns are heavily swaddled in thick furs and kept indoors for the most of their first year. Even when younglings are finally able to be brought outdoors, they do so thoroughly bundled up, almost comically, in several layers of thick clothing and furs.

It's not until adolescense that the Freije's cold tolerance truly begin to build up. They begin to strip away their heavy coats, scarves and furs, and many, many, layers as the years proceed, and by their first century the typical Freije can brush off the low temperatures with far lighter apparel. To the outsider experiencing the bite of Freij's Spring chill for the first time, they may even look underdressed.

In opposition to this are the region's wealthier merchants, barons, and city officials. Setting themselves up at higher altitudes, far above the crowded docks and fish markets, even their natural resistance isn't quite enough to keep out the colder mountain winds. As a result, upper class Draken remain relatively bundled up well after maturing - a fact that's earned the ridicule of many common folk, thinking it make them look childish.

Happy 10 years, X and Y 🎉🎉🎉

ik I said 'they could put me in that thing' about the divine guilt but it'd actually probably work better as something you have to carry around (think the righteousness briefcase). But it's more wieldy and kind of actively hindering

#Of course it wouldn't actually be in there physically but like. In the elects(?ig) brain etc. A type of software that type of divine #Rosa rambles #They could put them in that thing still though like maybe it opens. Maybe it's a case and a shield to hide behind #idk what it does though. #Making up divines(in this case just a design) always makes me wanna skip&hop. #tralala machine gods embodying a concept that have an intimate and often terrible relationship with their pilots #Not always. You know. A loving look....... Anchor......... #But bad consequences are fun to come up with. #I'm never getting weird enough when I do this but it's fine since it's for fun. Still.

I love tuning in to a ranboo vod whilst I Attempt Something and casually finding out that sometime in the near future Chronicle Zero is going to get intense and have days "where there's going to be a lot."

Godspeed update blogs, godspeed.

(and to myself too, jesus christ-)

but yeat there's that, and there's apparently been something that "no one has caught on to yet-"

I have no idea if this applies to me or not bc I'm pretty sure Ranboo doesn't know about this Digital Corkboard just yet (although I wouldn't mind staying under the radar for a BIT longer ahah), but for now I'm going to assume (and probably rightly so) that it does, and I GOTTA KEEP LOOKING-

#gen loss #generation loss #chronicle 0 #zero talks #zero thoughts #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #<--- probably a fair reaction #just screaming #so much anxiety #lol i'll be fine #anyways dream 2 comes out as soon as my phone finishes uploading these damn files (unrelated to the blog-)

[freaky-flawless]

This whole situation with Howleen not being related to Clawdeen in G3 lowkey reminds me of the whole fiasco with the new Tiny Toons reboot regarding Babs & Buster Bunny, except inversed.

To explain it: In the original Tiny Toons show, there's a running joke where Babs & Buster aren't related, despite them having the same last name. They're also shown to have romantic crushes on each other.

However, in the reboot (Tiny Toons Looniversity), Babs & Buster are now related, as twins.

So, Clawdeen & Howleen are not related now, but Babs & Buster are....Feels like the people in charge of these reboots haven't seen the OG or only looked at it on a surface-level understanding.

Ooh interesting! Honestly that can make things so uncomfortable. I imagine a lot of older fans probably shipped them, and have now been put into this unfair position where it now feels problematic to do so, and given how toxic fandom spaces can be, I imagine there's a lot of new fans of the reboot who might hound them about it. Yikes!

I have to say tho, I think it would be kinda wild if the current writers didn't know that Howleen is supposed to be Clawdeen's little sister, it's kinda like the main thing about her character. The fact that it was a conscious choice (assuming they don't backtrack in some way in the future) makes it even harder to accept.

It also reminds me of Strawberry Shortcake, the generation I grew up with (the best one) and how Apple Dumplin' was her baby sister, but come the reboot (the absolute worst version) is instead her cousin who's the same age, or just a tad younger. Idk, in both cases the decisions just seemed kinda random, but I suppose in Clawdeen's case her family dynamic is so different it would be hard to fit Howleen in. Hell, look how much reaching they had to do to bring Clawd back as her older brother.

#i dont really feel like putting this in the mh tag we're kinda all over the place with other cartoons lol #at this point their dynamic is so different idk if i'd even want them to be related #dont get me wrong their dynamic in gen 1 wasn't always the best #i always disliked how condescending clawdeen was towards her despite being only a year older sometimes #ive sat with a bit and kinda realized i just dont really vibe with g3 howleen #like she's fine as a character separate from g1 #but she's just so much less compelling imo #ive talked about the wasted potential of g1 howleen and i'll die mad about it #i dont think it needs to be said but i am a certified g3 clawdeen hater #so at this point i just kinda feel nothing about the whole thing other than mild annoyance #clawd's good tho #love him #even tho i think the logic around his existence is weird

all of my ocs are self inserts to some degree

#fawn is always sick and in pain and has “questionable coping mechanism”. he doesn't know how to act around many people (especially those he #likes) and trusts way too easily. always apologizes #zenqey was a confident and ambitious person but after growing up a bit they lost some of that before being “ruined” by someone #modify tries and tries to do good things even if it hurts people - they are slightly inspired by an exfriend too #fezika is an antisocial transman who's perception of gender is fucked. he feels like he cannot trust anyone and he hates himself #zombey is the “i dont care yolo!!” front guy but he knows he can't keep this going - they are constantly aware of their inevitable death #uhhhhhh #jaycal is nihilistic and at this point only sees themselves as a vessel to help others #raerly is an internet kid who doesn't fully care about the consequences of their actions. desensitized to everything gory or morbid #+ fawn is always like “it'll be fine!! i'll be fine!!!” while he's literally struggling #this isn't venting btw!!!!! rn im fine and dandy slash gen

Apologies if replies to asks or posts have been slow lately. I've gotten myself wormed between copious amounts of stress. One thing that hasn't changed through lifetimes seems to be being miserable, perhaps.

old enough gen z to remember being on this website when it was mostly millennials who were like late teens-mid 20s at the time and they constantly made posts like. "hey. we know how much it sucks to be young bc we're young and gen x and boomers hate us for no reason. when I'M in my 30s no way am I going to act like that"

and now every day i see millennials shitting on "zoomers" and talking abt how stupid we are and I'm like
