I just noticed I didn't tell you yet--which is shameful as it is Tumblr where the Mermaid Scientist was born! My Mermaid Book was picked up by Eye of Newt and is available for pre-order right now (it's coming out very soon, though, so any orders should make it until Christmas if that's a concern of yours)! If you're in North America, I'd suggest ordering directly through my publisher's website, however it's available anywhere you'd usually order books. You can ask your favourite indie book shop to order it for you or--if there's no other option or you're worried about crazy shipping costs where you live--it's available via the place starting with A, which shall otherwise not be named, as well. Please note: This is an edited version of the original book. It's shorter, but with more coherent world building and a beautiful new layout and design. It's a proper field guide now!

#Mermaid book #books #mermaids #field guide #art book #this makes me a traditionally published author-illustrator now :DDD #when we talked about editing the book for publication my publisher was like #we love Dr Lillefisk #Let's keep her!#Now she's in the title!#I made her up on a whim!#Her name is just grammatically incorrect Swedish #I love it so much #just thinking about how everything started and came together #and the book changed and grew and now #7 years later this is where we are!#my publisher send me the video btw #I can't wait to get the book myself!!

this book is gonna be so fucking good if I ever get around to writing it

#I did recently discover I may have been operating for YEARS maybe my WHOLE LIFE with near death low levels of cortisol lmao #so until I can get to an endo and hopefully get on some hormones I'm gonna be extra nice to myself re: productivity and stress #because it turns out my 'overexertion goes REALLY hard on me :(' may have been repeatedly nearly dying lolololol #I mean it's probably not that bad it's probably just a little funky #but my morning cortisol was 0.5 which I guess is like STUPID low #anyway I can't wait to write my whole book I'm gonna go write more of it now maybe

I am once again tagged by @radellama, thanks a bunch!

~

Last Song: Song of the Ancients / Fate, by Keiichi Okabe

Currently Watching: Still Trigun (1998), I am unfortunately too busy to watch much else (Though I do sometimes think about how much I want to rewatch TGCF season 2....)

Three Ships: Xiao/Venti, Feng Xin/Mu Qing, Minamoto Kou/Mitsuba Sousuke

Favorite Color: Still cobalt!

Currently Consuming: Nothing at the moment, last thing was some chai tea. Now I'm thinking about grilled cheese again tho...

First Ship: Leo/Takumi from Fire Emblem: Fates

Relationship Status: Unfortunately, no

Last Movie: I genuinely don't remember... It was either Spirited Away or a combined Megamind/How to Train Your Dragon movie night

Currently Working On: A lot of my current angst is actually over the fact that I'm too deep in the schoolwork trenches to actually work on any of my own personal creative projects. But, my other project besides the Genshin Poetry Gala fic that I've been working on for months now is a TGCF essay about how the main couple are representative of the story's main themes. They make my brain explode <3

#tag game #I think I'm gonna just let tag game be its own tag now lol #I haven't actually been listening to much music for the past two days #I've been on more of a talking audio kick if anything at all #As for the ships aside from the obvious I ended up putting feng//qing because I cannot see myself writing hua//lian fic #Cuz the books have everything I need from them lmao #But for those two bozos? There's a reason why my roommate and I have spent hours talking about all the stupid gay shenanigans they could ha #And kou//tsuba is just because I caught up on js//hk recently and they are still destroying my heart (sob)#I can't wait until school is done so I can get back to being creative #That's what will fix me I'm not even joking lmaooo #Thanks for the tag these are always fun!! (even though it was a little similar to the last one with some of the prompts lolol)

this shit really makes it hard to want to do anything to distract myself

#vent post #negative #want to play a game to calm myself down? yeah that's not going to help. that's a nice reminder of everything.#want to work on my comic? keenly aware of how much i need to code my own website before webtoon and tumblr fuck themselves over for good #want to watch youtube? keenly aware of how much youtube wants its creators dead too #ok maybe i'll cross stitch. but i'm aware i'm only doing it because its one of the few things available to me anymore #read a book? guess what industry ALSO wants its creators dead!#i can't enjoy any of this because i feel sick #can't even go outside and enjoy myself there's nothing out there for me to even do #that doesnt stave anything off i'm just going to have a breakdown but i'm outside now #the world gets smaller.#i know it will get better. as everything burns a better life will come out of it.#but i don't know how to be ok with experiencing the now while i wait for the better to come #even as i try to look into 'the good industries' so maybe i can survive in this world with an ok job #there's nothing there #i know better than to expect anything perfect but Everything Wants Me Dead #i want the bare minimum of Doesn't Want Me Dead and it doesn't exist #what do i even do. all i can do is keep going while hoping for a miracle.

I know in my bones that Jon would have been a mama's boy, the biggest mama's boy actually, had Cat accepted him as her own. I just feel it deep within my soul, that boy would be attached to her at the hip, always holding her hand or leaning into her or latching onto her like a little leech (affectionate), and god forbid someone try and mess with her, oh lordy you better run. and honestly the other way around too, don't mess with Mama Cat or her kids.

had Catelyn accepted him as her son, the bond would be far too powerful, that's why they had to be put at such odds, it was for the world's sake, I just know it.

#I feel like this is already vaguely canon #cause like #she didn't mean too. she didn't mother him. but he turned out jsut like her.#like Cat. babes. thats your son right there #there's been points in Jon's character where I see more Cat then I see Ned #(mind you. I have just started dipping my toes into the books so this is mostly based off of the show)#anyway #I just think their potential bond would be SO interesting #especially cause Jon will always be Jon. he's loyal. he's fiercely protective. he's strong for those he loves. he's a fighter for his family #and then just add the “nothing gets between a mama's boy and his mama” thing #and I just know all could have been well #he would have never left Cat's (and Robb's) side (for a multitude of reasons. cause if she'd accepted him he'd most likely never gone to-#the wall or at least waited a bit longer since their wouldn't be the pressure to do so) and no one would have touched a hair on her head #and also just like. imagine little Jon and his mama. cuteness overload #I think he would have liked for her to play with his hair when he was little and hust never grew out of it #ahhhh #I just want them to be happy #I'm deluding myself into believing they were a happy little family and they lived a happy little life and all was well #cause I can't take it anymore #my heart hurts for them #this is my agenda #jon snow #catelyn stark #got #asoiaf #game of thrones #a song of ice and fire

God if I had the energy and brainpower I’d be drawing Quynh + Nicky being chaotic and dumb together

#i see those reblogs in my notes lol. i miss them too #long story short: family emergency happened yesterday and i'm waiting to hear from my parents + sister #who have been driving for 8 hours now. which is not making me freak out less #and the very air around me just sort of.... changes from bursts of energy to dull hopeless nothingness #using all my spare energy to get my assignments done. frankly I'M mad at myself for doing it. i can't let myself rest or feel anything #kind of feel like the universe has just been giving me blow after blow. didn't get the job/award. didn't get a scholarship. pain has gotten #-- to the worst it's ever been. pile-up of assignments i can't even begin... and now this.#at least my library book is good #anyway yeah i'm fucking peachy. much love #maybe i should work on some of my stupid fanfiction. put this feeling somewhere

From the chapter “TURNING TO THE DARK SIDE: CHALLENGING AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY IN THE SUPERHERO GENRE” in Terence McSweeney’s The ‘War on Terror’ and American Film: 9/11 Frames Per Second. Interesting read, and made me wonder if there’s any correlation between comics depicting Batman using torture on criminals and the Bush administration’s dismantling of prohibitions against torture in U.S. and international law.

#christopher nolan #nolanverse #batman begins #the dark knight #the dark knight rises #i keep getting ao3 comments asking me to watch these movies and i DON'T want to #but they ARE an important part of batman's image in american pop culture #and they're obviously representative of a lot of american paranoia and punitive conception of justice #so it would probably be academically interesting #plus i can't kid myself and pretend they've had no influence on his characterization in the comics #this book talks a lot about how bane + joker + ra's all drew from different stereotypes of 'terrorism'#with nolan freely discussing how ra's al ghul was entirely based on osama bin laden #maybe i'll wait until matt reeves is done with his trilogy #and then i can watch them both to compare and contrast how american anxieties have changed over the last two decades

long theoretical post about my friend hugging me

like. to dissect a matter that none of you are involved in and then i'll delete in the morning: my friend in college hugged me about ten minutes ago and i don't understand why. he's a physically affectionate person so we knew it was bound to happen, it was a running joke between us that we'd like schedule our hug to happen. nothing extraordinary happened tonight. in the second half -- which is when i spent the most time with him -- i was so fucked up that i barely processed what was going on? i was listening to what he was telling me, he just rambled about stuff, and it's interesting and i could recite all of it if asked and the expression he made at each part, but there was absolutely nothing in my head. and he never asked if i was okay which i think he would have if he thought something was wrong, because he's done that before. and we were alone so he could have and there would have been zero consequences. but he didn't ask me what was wrong, so it's hard to assume that the hug was for emotional consolation reasons. he wouldn't have noticed me on the brink of tears, either, he's not that observant. i would have known if he had. and i didn't do anything truly kind to him today, i listened to him talk about his interests and we hung out for a while, but that's what we do all the time. nothing happened. there was the chair thing but i thought i played that off well, i tried to have a coherent narrative about it an hour later too so he would guess what i had hoped, and i think i was successful. he wasn't distressed, i would have known. and he was tired but he's been tired a lot before and he's never acted like this. so he had zero reason to hug me unless he maybe sensed that this entire time i just really fucking wanted him to hug me, but he wouldn't have, and i would never have voiced that, because i don't want him to see me at that level. but i needed that hug badly. and i don't understand why i received it.

#nightmare.personal #neg #he's the easiest person to be around i think. because there are a lot of conversation topics to have #and i understand the way his mind ticks pretty well at this point #that's going to change in spring semester. maybe. which is going to really suck. but it'll be okay.#nothing i offered him would differ from what anyone could give him is the issue #i'm really good at that. you don't really need to have a ton of anything to listen to people #it's just listening. and yeah i guess people are bad at that? but like.#i don't know. he could talk to literally anyone else. all of them could talk to literally anyone else and they actively do #part of my brain is trying to rationalize myself into calming down but the other half is the one i want to indulge because #fuck. fuck. i can't do this forever.#like someday i have to snap right. i can't keep doing this. it's like a time loop.#this always happens and i only vaguely remember tomorrow but it'll happen two days after and it'll be bad #and i will always want to crack under pressure but never do #and if nothing's wrong with me why the hell am i like this?#i wish he didn't hug me. i should have got my book and fucking left.#i only waited because i was getting the book back from his roommate who was off calling his girlfriend #but honestly. that guy even though he's my friend. if he saw me crying he'd do nothing #because i don't think he would care even slightly. we're good friends now i'd say. he would not care.#at least this happened in a pretty way. that's something huh.

I just had what feels like every stress dream ever in a single hour

#Strangers coming to my house for a party unannounced when I'm trying to sleep #Cant find my phone (this is still true)#People from work also at my house going nuts #Fish and worms have somehow grown in all my glass bottles and now I gotta find tanks for them but i cant afford that but i also dont wanna-#-kill them and they've started eating each other. The people are still at the party. Still cant find my phone #Random ladies show up demanding I answer questions that make no sense and I wanna help but idk how to respond #People from work are still losing it. It's raining and pitch black out. Still can't find my phone. My father is there.#Some guests get their hand on a device that let's you shape shift?? But you gotta jam a giant needle right into your chest #And I was down at first but then i see people whose faces shift between multiple people frozen in agony #And people whose faces just look like objects an it looks painful and a friend from work wont let me leave and is gonna stab me #And finally one person who got the shot gets like. Millions of tiny mushrooms growing out of every pore #Their entire body transforms into a fungal bed in the slowest most painful death imaginable. And this happens to everyone #And I just fucking booked it out of the house finally acrew the phone screw the rain screw work.#And at THAT point I'm like wait fuck this is a dream. If I keep going something terrible will definitely happen again #Thankfully just the adrenalin was enough to wake e up and I didnt have to dream-kill myself #I gotta write this down in more detail somewhere #Alda rambling

sometimes i really wonder about this whole college thing

#big baby warning: im about to complain!#i want to like it and i want to do well and i need to do well #but things keep happening and it keeps getting harder #trust me i know it's challenging for everyone and i should feel lucky i even get to go #but it can be so lonely and sooo overbearing #it seems like no matter how hard i study i can't keep up with *all* my classes and something is always lacking #i genuinely *want* to do well believe me #im sort of just waiting to get to the good part where i actually get my english degree but im still stuck getting my prereqs #and im already so burnt out from high school #i just want #i think i just want to write my book and drink coffee and be happy #and im just struggling to have the motivation to finish this year #all i need to do is finish this year and it's so hard #and i don't want to complain but i just feel like crying sometimes #why do i feel the need to do so well at everything..?#im setting myself up for disaster #and i have to take a *summer course* too because i failed my first math class #i just wish that id done something differently idk #idk what that would have been but i feel like that's the answer #idk #im just tired #so is everyone tho #i just find college sort of #unfair?#there's no time to just be anymore #which is probably just life #i know i should be happy.... i just got hired at a job i actually like today!!!!#but is my learning really worth it if I never have the time to sink my teeth into it?#that's just how i feel rn #i can't wait to breathe and genuinely REST

Also, completely unrelated to my last post, but I got myself the first The Last Kingdom book like 3 weeks ago and I already finished it lol - BUT! that means I can get the second book because obviously the more I read before the movie the better 😅

Ps: I literally suck at reading, I have like 10 books sitting on a shelf that never even opened but suddenly I get this book and read it in a matter of weeks 😂

#oh and I'm so excited to get to the part where Sihtric is introduced it's offensive #so apparently his book version is a little shit in the beggining but he's still my baby #...and can't wait to learn more about him aka whatever was left out in the show which is probably a lot #sorry I'm so proud of myself I had to get it out #kyra's ramblings

John + Mary is A Supernatural love story.

Dean + Castiel is THE Supernatural love story.

#I LOVE The Winchesters #I love all the characters #the plot #but i really couldn't bring myself to care whether john and mary got together #or how they got together since we know how that relationship is going to end #perhaps i might change my mind the further along we get into the show #but #destiel will always be THEE supernatural love story in my books #CAN'T WAIT for the winchesters to resume
