OKAY SO HERE ARE THE PICS. Inspired by this post by @pipistrellus (@pipcomix)

These are 16th century Renaissance inspired hotpants, panelled with navy velvet with a red silk lining and hand-embroidered butt slogan, which I believe is like 300% historically accurate. They’re actually modelled off a genuine Tudor pattern but then made ridiculous because who am I.

Worn with thigh highs and a 18th C shirt cuz it was all I had to hand and frankly shirts don’t change that much lol.

Watermark is to my Instagram! @oh.papillon

Back again...

...to vent and set an intention. This cannot continue, this vicious cycle cannot go on, staying in the old habits, resting in the fear... has to stop. I made big progress today in FINALLY getting through the run around I’ve been getting for finally getting back medication and from there I will finally get a counseling referral... which I’m sure will take still more months to get... but it’s a big step forward... even if I have to wait a month for the first appointment for a new prescription... it’s progress. My partner is constantly thinking and planning ahead, he takes care of pretty much all the food... which is unfair and exhausting. I tried again today to plan dinner, and I even got the missing ingredients... but the timing was wrong, and I failed to get it started in a time that would be ready for before work. All I could do was retreat in fear while an alternative dinner was prepared... feeling like the worst kind of loser... my relationship with food has gotten worse again, and I hate how afraid of cooking I’ve become... when money is tight my food issues get worse, the fear of wasting food and money and going hungry gets worse, so I make easy, instant, unhealthy food choices and that’s a whole other spiral... Time to find my bullet journal and at least attempt to buckle down on planning and follow through again... I know this is part of a bigger cycle of struggling with my disability, but it at least has short term benefits... and I’ll take what I can get... Feeling sorry for myself has been a big sticky tar trap lately, and “it shouldn’t be this hard, I’m clearly just a piece of shit” is not helpful thinking ... Get up bitch, get shit done, do one thing that makes you feel good in your skin today and work on tomorrow.

Customers who get angry when I read them their total cost are so compelling to me. Take charge of your narrative, Janice. Be the hero of your own story. You are the one who is purchasing $113.67 worth of adult zen coloring books, Janice. It’s not me you hate, Janice. It’s not me.

Imagine being so racist and so comfortable in your white privilege that you actually say this aloud to black customers.

Turn-offs: historically inaccurate cosmetics in period dramas

ways i have tricked people into thinking i am competent:

bought a really nice looking fountain pen

that sounds like a joke but fountain pens are cheap as shit and when you use one people look at you like you’re a fucking wizard

this hero 901 cost me $3 on ebay and i don’t know why people assume that this is a pen for intelligent people but they do

it works better when i am using a nice notebook and not the avengers notebook that makes it look like the hulk is grabbing my sweet pen

i write in code which for some reason leads everyone to assume that i am some kind of da vinci motherfucker, instead of the reality, which is that i am writing about dicks and don’t want anyone to know

it looks like i am constantly taking notes on everything which is both intimidating and inaccurate, just the way i like it

i bought a usb clicker/laser pointer for $11 and now it seems like i’ve got this shit on lock, like i am so pro at giving presentations i even own accessories

holding a clicker makes you seem at least 10% more like you know what you’re talking about i’m pretty sure

i check the weekly freebies on creativemarket every monday so now i have a huge folder of pro-looking website themes and powerpoint templates and fill-in-the-blank resumes (also a lot of autumnal clipart and watercolor flowers and script fonts but that is less relevant)

i bought a ceramic coffee mug at world market years ago and it makes me look like a productive coffee-drinker because no one knows it’s full of hot cocoa

i don’t know why drinking coffee makes you look busy it just does even though i’m pretty sure it statistically reduces productivity

bonus: not only does no one know i’m just drinking Depression Chocolate but they think i am being Environmentally Conscious rather than Poor As Shit

extra bonus: i can take a sip whenever it looks like someone is going to ask a question and then they ask someone else

i almost never have to answer questions and i leave the room a lot because i have to pee constantly so double extra bonus

“That’s a very good question, and one that deserves an in-depth answer, so if you’d like to leave me your card I’d be happy to discuss it with you later one-on-one” aka “how DARE you suggest i waste everyone’s time answering this question right now” aka “lmfao i have no fucking clue what you just said please let me secretly google that okay”

bonus: now it seems like you are a sophisticated grownup who assumes everyone has A Card and if they have to settle for writing their email on a scrap of paper you can feel smug about it even though in your heart you know that you are no better

i’ve got anxiety and poor impulse control and anxiety about my poor impulse control so i generally say jack shit about shit and this constant silence is often misinterpreted as aloof observation

no one knows that my air of mystery is actually a bad case of the shy and i am too shy to correct them so it works out

when i’m on my laptop and i don’t want anyone to notice how much i’m dicking around i turn the brightness way down so they can’t snoop without being obvious

at least one window of notepad++ with some random html page or css stylesheet in it makes randos assume you are some kind of genius doing some genius shit, unless they are CS major randos, in which case i guess find an intimidating looking excel spreadsheet and hope for the best
