Someone ACTUALLY just tried to tell me that it’s more “morally acceptable” to ship Luffy and Hancock than it is to ship Sanlu. Are you for REALLLLLL

#AGAIN!!! FUCKING INSTAGRAM. It’s ALWAYS people on Instagram!!! #Hi please tell me how it’s more ‘morally acceptable’ to ship a 31 year old woman with a 19 year old boy than it is to ship two boys #Who are only 2 years apart. #WHO HAVE WAYYYY MORE ONSCREEN CHEMISTRY THAN LUFFY/BOA HAS EVER HAD PERIOD #THE BLATANT HOMOPHOBIA. GET OUT. #Listen age gaps are fine. Whatever. Lots of people ship Boa and Luffy #I don’t bc it makes me uncomfy. That’s fine too! #It’s fiction but I can draw the line somewhere if I want!! #Anyway if your excuse is just ‘Bc they’re both boys’ then that’s a YOU problem buddy. Not mine. #Homophobes? In MY Instagram comments? In MY 2024? #Unfortunately it’s more common than you think!!! #One Piece #Shima speaks #This one’s got me in a tizzy. Sorry. Lol I need to get angry for two seconds and then I’ll be over it

A lazy one bc it's a bit boring

#fnafhs #:*3 #freddy fnafhs #mai fnafhs #puppet fnafhs #i want to get to a fun part but theres like 2 chapters more besides this one to get there #skipped a step here bc boring chapter and stuff. i normally do two sketches before doing lineart. i used sketch 2 as lineart #whatever. freddy can see ghost and is not big deal for him. he doesn't know how to tell them apart from living people

honestly im so glad bioware nerfed the cousland origin by not making them as socially & politically powerful as they technically ought to be. bc i think if i had to confront the whole cousland/mac tir situation in canon as opposed to just my own unsalvageable deep fried thoughts i think i would contract some sort of brain eating bacterial infection and die :/

#tay plays dao #oc: elspeth #of COURSE elspeth Knows these people! ofc she knows eamon !and teagan ! she and cailan were friends and maric held her as a baby !!!!!!! #and of COURSE. of COURSE she knows the mac tirs. the only other teyrnir family. inherent allies AND rivals to the kings favor. ok. okokokok #but thinking abt the post occupation solidarity between all of ferelden. bryce and loghain letting their daughters be friends #elspeth and anora being the BEST of friends growing up. each one spending months at highever or gwaren respectively #god. thinking about loghain as a godfather figure to elspeth makes me insane. thinking of anora being a sister to elspeth makes me insaner #the girls later growing up and recognising that the kingdom was beginning to set the two of them up against one another as they + cailan #came of age. realizing one of them would likely be chosen as queen and the other would Not. #and its not so much the jealous/competitiveness that drove them apart but the fear that the other one thought less of them for it #idk. idk idk idk. #i just love making things complicated. i love the idea that when alistair kills loghain its like... 1) elspeth is horrified bc he was at on #point like family to her. #and then 2) grateful ! bc what sort of family would do all of this to her !!!!!!!!! #and then his death also being the final nail in the coffin for anora and elspeth's friendship. H. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #I CANT. I CANT EVEN THINK OF THIS IM GOING TO GO SOAK MY HEAD OR WHATEVER COUSLAND SAYS TO DAIRREN IDEK.

idc how much time passes or how old you technically get if you have a "2" in front of your birth year you'll always be a baby infant in my eyes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#literally googled an idol that i saw a youtube short of #he was hilarious so I was like "I wanna know what kpop group he's apart of #HE was BORN in 2001 -- WHAT #I mean I know he's 21 and technically an adult but I'm like... 2001???? #TWO THOUSAND AND ONE???????? #THERE ARE ADULTS OUT THERE BORN IN 2001???????? #i mean technically i was only 9 or 10 in 2001 but like... #i said what i said if you were born with a '2' in front of your birth year you'll always be an infant #Sorry i'm just having a crisis here thinking about people born in the year of TWENTY HEKKIN ONE are now 21 #That... does not compute #it was only 2014 like two years ago 😭 #delete later

Every time I see that post about bids for attention, or whatever it is, I think about my mom.

I don't really talk to anyone in my family, and I hate that and don't know how to reconnect.

My mom is also into birds so last summer when I saw the whooping crane I texted her a shitty excited picture and like all caps, "I saw a whooping crane!!!"

Her response was "lol". That's it. No follow up or chit chat, just a shut down of my attempts to connect with her.

The other week I sent her a link to the crane cam and told her to check in on it at sunrise and sunset (which is when the cranes are there, though lately they've been hanging out later in the day) and her response was "Cool!"

That's it! Again, completely shut me down. If I died tomorrow the last thing my mom said to me was "Cool".

#last message from my sister was two weeks ago #last text from my dad was january 16th #and we don't talk on the phone #like last time i talked to anyone on the phone was a year and 1/2 ago when my grandma died #i don't know what's wrong with all of us and I don't know how to fix it #i have two people i talk to outside of work #and we don't hang out because we're busy and/or live too far apart #anyway GUESS I'M LONELY AND FEELING PRETTY BAD ABOUT IT TODAY #mostly I'm like cool to do shit on my own #but sometimes it's like... i don't have a choice anyway #at work when I'm like well I'm gonna have to drag my cat on a 1200 mile round trip cause i don't have another choice #people are like you really don't have ANYONE who could watch him? #i don't know what part of “i have only one friend in milwaukee and i don't have a family” people don't understand #sorry i know no one reads this shit who the fuck am i apologizing to #i want to take a Big Trip for my 42nd year but even if i find the money am i going to travel alone? #like all the way to alaska or scotland or fucking somewhere alone? #road tripping alone is fine cause at least i have my car #ok anyway shut up sarah no one cares

"i've always wanted to be surrounded by your things" okay mr. sap machine but i know your secret other reason is that you did the math and realized that aneki isn't gonna want to crash at your place if you live in your boyfriend's studio lol

#i was like MAKE IT MAKE SENSE KUROSAWA and then i figured out a way to make it make sense #i mean okay the REAL reason is that kurosawa isn't attached to his place; it's just another way he tried to make himself perfect #and one of the things he loves about adachi is his imperfection and how it releases him (kurosawa) from the need to be perfect #so his own place probably feels very sterile and suffocating whereas adachi's little apartment is freeing and real #at least he brought his bed to adachi's studio. for them both to have to fit on adachi's bed would get old #i like to think aneki is kind of a princess and she liked staying at his old place because it was so nice #i'm sure she got to sleep in the bed while he had to take the futon #so i don't think she would be up for slumming it in kurodachi's teeny tiny little lovenest #not that there's anything wrong with adachi's apartment! it's quite nice really. it's just 1) pretty small for two grown people to share #and 2) where is the indirect lighting? or plants???? #cherry magic #cm movie spoilers #my posts

Idk why I thought the new year would suddenly bring immense change to me as a person, it was such a childish belief, I can’t believe I let myself fall for it. The years go by but I remain the messed up anxious wreck who starts crying the second she’s left alone with her thoughts. The new year won’t change anything, nothing will

#just look at me #I could very possibly graduate from school in half a year and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life #I can’t take the slightest bit of criticism or else I’ll feel like shit for a week #I need to be staring at a screen at all hours of the day because if I don’t distract myself I will break down #I’m so obsessed with pleasing people that when I can’t fulfill the simplest of requests I want to die #indulging in hobbies. things that are supposed to be enjoyable. feels like hell for me #through all my years of creating there is only one piece I can honestly say I like and am proud of #and I haven’t even touched writing since because I’m scared of not being able to reach that high again #art comes a little easier but I’m only capable of one or two pieces a month #I don’t have anyone irl whom I trust. I’m so lonely that I literally have imaginary friends. at 17 #and I still haven’t figured out my gender or what pronouns I prefer. I don’t even like the name I picked for myself #I could go on forever #I don’t know how anyone puts up with me. I know I wouldn’t if I had the choice #I keep going on and on about how I want to get better. I don’t want to be so miserable all the time #but I just don’t know how #I try to be kinder with myself and I’ve been pretty successful at it but.. it doesn’t help #I can be soft and gentle all I want. it won’t make everything else go away #so there’s nothing left for me to do but cry all alone in my apartment at 2 a.m #I guess

[intertexts]

got 2 call my sister for nye & see the awesome bucharest fireworks!!!!!!

#THEYRE SO FUCKING COOL..... her new apartment is like on the tenth floor of a housing block + people were setting stuff off on the ground so #they were LITERALLY RIGHT THERE... also im glad i got 2 spend her new years eve with her.. #back when she lived at home we were always the only ones up at midnight haha so i have some fond memories of sharing it w her. literally #just the two of us on our laptops at the kitchen table sharing music yk? #txt

#meg talks #feeling. sad kdgsdjxh #there’s a work christmas party tonight but #1) indoors 2) the whole district is invited 3) no mask policy #4) we’ve already had two covid cases at work in a row 5) it’s the holidays so It’s Only Gonna Get Worse #so i absolutely cannot afford to risk it #but. they’re doing karaoke. and i haven’t done karaoke in three years #and it’s stupid but im really sad bc i miss it and i really wanted to go but. nobody gives a shit anymore abt covid #or. y’know. about protecting high risk ppl #ppl said from the start that ‘’going back to normal’’ was just gonna mean moving on without disabled ppl #and forcing them back into either never going out or just suffering the consequences #and they were so right. nobody wants to make even the smallest efforts to make it possible for the sick and disabled to exist in public #we’re just collateral damage #not only our bodies but just like. our relationships. our joy. #not that that was ever not the case… sigh #just feeling v sad and lonely. we’re never coming out the other side of this are we #edit sorry im still not done. even more than long covid it’s like #i have no sick time left. and no space to quarantine myself. we’re three people living in a one bedroom apartment #living paycheck to paycheck! i can’t afford to miss work! #we barely managed to scrape by this month as it is! i don’t even know what to do abt xmas gifts… #like what are we supposed to do if we all get covid and can’t work? starve? #like. jdgsdjxh idk man. it makes me feel like my brain is leaking out of my ears #it’s like everyone who (assumed they) could just went ahead and moved on #as if covid is over #and left the rest of us just. sitting here alone #there’s just no solidarity anymore… idek what to do about it other than keep on. sitting at home alone

Ok college review now that I’m almost a month in. I’ve gained nothing from this experience but a janky apartment that I love

#no literally like. I’m not a people person. so that aspect of college doesn’t appeal to me #and also I’m in 4 classes. my library science one I was excited for is entirely geared towards being a school librarian and teaching #so I’m out here making lesson plans. which I have negative interest in being a teacher #my business class is structured in a way that makes lectures useless but I’m required to go #my theatre class. we haven’t really started anything so my opinion is neutral but tainted by last years experience. 2.5 out of 10 #my programming class is fun though. I’ll be the one programming sketchy apps now #i do really love my apartment #but yeah. i don’t often leave it. and god people love to knock at my door and windows #i don’t like. wanna shut myself in and not speak to anyone ever. but I’m not saying I’d hate that either #bc ok. last year I talked to two people. one of which didn’t come back this year and the other one who chronically cancels plans #but also just in general. confuses me?? like bestie will do something and I’m just like. why #oh but there’s 2 guys who live above me I know. one of which was the one banging on my window at 1am wasted #the other guy is nice but also talking to him tends to tire me out bc he’s the type of person who has to be right #not in like an argumentative way. moreso the type to repeat himself and rephrase things until ur like fine fine ok #also a tiny bit of a show off/one upper type #but I do have my friend who lives a good 45 mins away we see each other often and it’s fun #so yeah that’s my academic stuff and my social circle summary! #also. my ex best friend? lived 45 mins away. same city. saw her like 2-3 times the whole year. she could have done so much better #but yeah. i don’t do much in college and am 97% certain I’m taking a gap year to go hang out at my summer job #soup talks

my two best living options right now are either one apartment that is behind a mortuary or another that is on the same street as a cemetery like not to be the most goth girl you know but

#i havent been seeing ghosts all my life for nothing like im not ghost girl for no reason lmaooooooooooo #these apartments arent anywhere near each other and yet i have two dead people options and that's it bc they are cheap and also in safe #locations despite the dead people so im like hm. ok. #the one behind the mortuary is like maybe 1 to 2 blocks behind it like it is visible from the living room window so im like 😬 #the other one is on the same street as the cemetery maybe about same 2 blocks down on a straight street but u can't see the cemetery from #inside the apartment at all #so im like wow great 2 awesome options i love this for me #im realizing it isnt clear that im being sarcastic i fucking hate that these are my only 2 cheapest and safest options like im not haunted #enough as it is now i have to be neighbors with a graveyard which is very on point goth for me but i Do Not Want To

naurrr my mom, sister, aunt and grandparents are all sick rn… my aunt tested positive for covid and my grandpa says it feels exactly like when he had covid this spring… we all attended the same lucia concert and sat together, so I assume that’s where they caught it, but so far I have absolutely zero symptoms. not even a headache or bodily fatigue. i wonder if I’ve evaded it, if it’s delayed or if I’m going to catch it from my mom and sister soon. also… my grandparents and mom really did not need this :( they’re … old and have many health problems. grandpa has 5 vaccine shots and they say they don’t feel terrible, but, still :/ and my mom was recently sick, is extremely overworked and not very healthy due to extreme stress levels for years …

#do I have the luck of the devil or am I going to wake up coughing my lungs out tomorrow #maybe I won’t be able to write that exam anyway despite emailing two professors at the institution #my grandma esp … my grandpa has diabetes (2) but aside from that he’s not super unhealthy #but she has rheumatism high blood pressure is deficient in many things and has some heart problem… this kind of thing is incredibly #exhausting and painful for her I hope she’s ok #WHY DO PEOPLE GO TO LUCIA CONCERTS WHEN SICK!!!!! #we didn’t do anything together before or after that they live in other villages #and since everyone got sick at the same time it has to have been there #luckily the weird apartment we live in has two bathrooms so they’re using the same one and I’m using the other #the only room we all use is the kitchen I’ve locked myself into a room to study

(Long post, sorry y'all)

A little more than two years ago now, my grandmother passed away. She and my grandpa had moved down to my home town a few years before so we could take care of them. I brought them groceries once a week, helped them write checks, fixed tvs, and found lost things. I was really close with my grandma.

In addition to her hilarious personality and dry wit, one of my favorite things about her was that she was a painter and a crafter like me! She used to crochet, and I took her to the craft store a couple of times so she could get more yarn and books on crochet. But her arthritis and the shaking in her hands kept getting worse, so she eventually had to stop.

She kept her most recent project, a granny square blanket, safely packed away in a plastic bin. She told all of us she was going to finish it one day.

Her hands never got better, and when she got sick, and we found out it was cancer, she rapidly deteriorated.

After she passed, I went to work helping my mom clean out my grandparents apartment so we could move my grandpa in with her. In our frantic cleaning, I found that bin again:

DOZENS of granny squares, dozens of half used skeins. I asked my mom what she wanted me to do with it, and she said she didn't care. I set it aside and later took it home.

Maybe a month later, that tumblr post about the Loose Ends Project was going around. It felt like a sign--I was never going to learn to crochet in order to finish my grandmother's blanket. But they might be able to help!

So I filled out the interest form. They got back to me SUPER quick. And maybe 2 weeks later, I was paired with volunteer in my state (only 2 hours away!) and the box of yarn, granny squares, and my grandmother's crochet hook were in the mail. That was at the end of January this year.

Over the next couple of months, my "finisher" emailed me regular updates on her progress, and asked me questions on my preferences for how she constructed the final blanket.

At the end of August, the blanket was done!

I had always intended the blanket to be a gift for my mother. So I cleaned it up, put it in the only bag I had big enough to fit it, and drove to my mom's. I gave the blanket to her and she was gobsmacked. I explained to her all about Loose Ends, and how someone volunteered to finish the piece for us. She was speechless. (I was quite pleased with this, because I am not the best at giving gifts, so this was a pretty exciting reaction!)

She said that it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever been given. She said "your grandma would love this". To which I replied, "yeah, I know she really wanted to finish it a couple of years ago". But that was when my mom dropped the bomb of a century on me--she told me that my grandma had started making those granny squares OVER 30 YEARS AGO. She had started the blanket when my grandpa was staying in the hospital, but that was back when my mom was younger than I am now! My grandma had packed them all away, planning on finishing it, when my grandpa was sent home from the hospital. Then it went from house to house, from condo in Chicago to their apartment in my hometown. All that time and my grandma had wanted to finish it, but couldn't. First because she was busy, then because she forgot how to do it, then because of her arthritis, and then because of the cancer. My mom said she had given up on expecting my grandma to finish it. 

She said I brought a piece of her childhood with her mom out of the past.

And really, all of this is to say, if you have seen or heard about the Loose Ends Project and have an uncompleted project or piece from a loved one who has passed away--these are your people. They were so kind and treated my project with such care. That box probably would have been found by my own grandkids one day if I hadn't heard about Loose Ends.

Five stars, absolutely worth it!

(From what I understand, you can sign up to volunteer too! If you have time to share, it might be worth checking out!)
