#I had to wash that blanket

[planetsallalign]

I’ve been using Nellies laundry soap and using wool dryer balls (that I made an essential oil blend to spray on them cause I do like a little scent), and my clothes/towels/sheets have never felt as soft and fluffy as they do now.

Currently still in bed hunkering down because everything feels way too good to get out of.

#the laundry soap is an unscented powder yet even my gym clothes don’t smell after washing them #and I used to use heavily scented tide sport thinking it was the only thing that would make things smell ‘clean’ #but the laundry soap has been amazing and the dryer balls make it so my clothes don’t feel like they have a coating on them like #the dryer sheets made fleece blankets and stuff feel like they had a kind of coating on them #I’m at an age where I get real excited about my laundry products 😂

colors: vanilla, mocha, olive, waterfall

i made a bigger adult blanket!

really liked these colors but they only came in the large size so i decided to make a blanket a little smaller than the size of my bed

didn’t feel like making granny squares this time, wanted something i wouldn’t have to join afterwards

my dad says it would have made a cool shawl or i could have put a hood on it when i was around halfway done diagonally; he was right but my original goal was blanket so i kept going lol

@crazy-fangirl-probs-rants suggested blocking it (steaming the ends that were curling to flatten them out)

learned from THIS video and THIS video

#art mine #2023 art mine #crafts #crochet #blankets #made like 5 mistakes #cut the string too early 2 times and had to rejoin them and finish the last square to the edge #lost count of how many stitches i had so 3 of these squares have 1 less stitch #also FUCK undoing all the work just to fix it #i just added an extra when i found out to make up for it #it's fuckin curling at the edges but that'll probably go away as i keep washing it #a little smaller than me (might have stretched while drying) so around 5ft ish

dl!Tango has a little wing cape bc Jimmy soul mate :]

#oakskull art #tangotek #double life smp #dlsmp #dlsmp fanart #anyway heem #the reason im drawing so much tango instead of both tango and jimmy #is bc i havnt come up with a fun jimmy design yet #and when i do get a better design i will draw ✨️blanket huddle✨️ #based on a specific fic i read #which i will link when i draw #ALSO #if any of you noticed the different texture on the jacket #its bc i accidentally did the red wash on the vest portion instead of the pants #and i tried v hard to fic w/ watercolors but it just turned brown #so i had to whip out the colored pencils haha

#had a particularly tough week at work #(did you know that being a preschool teacher is actually really hard sometimes?) #and bf surprised me with all my favorite snacks and washed the sheets and blankets #and set up a little nest in the bedroom with twinkly lights and music #and kissed me and said go read the new emily henry book #and periodically comes in to refill my wine glass and high five me #and i just……. #melt

#g talks #this is so specific i hope you understand what im going for #i had to put my emotional support blanket to wash and i ended up sleeping hugging my blåhaj #perfect size plush thank you ikea

i saw your most recent martian gifset (beautiful btw) and it reminds me so much of the la la land ending and i'm now losing my mind. why were/are they like this??? this is literally a motorsports awards ceremony. why do i feel like i'm watching the bittersweet end to a critically acclaimed movie???

i am so glad you are the one to say this because every time i think about la la land and martian i feel insane and then i gaslight myself into being like You Cannot Write Yet Another La La Land AU You Need To Do Something Different but truly they are so mia and sebastian. HIS NAME IS SEBASTIAN. and he fits. that unrelenting pursuit of his dream, that sweet melancholic fallibility... and mark as the aspiring actor who's getting older and more cynical because for some reason his luck is shit and he can't make it big, but then this broke cocky little hotshot comes along and shows him he can't give up on himself. and they both achieve their dreams in the end! they could have even made it together if they hadn't been who they were!! it's sooo bittersweet i literally have a playlist of la la land songs i put on whenever i write them just to get in the mood.

coughs. anyway to your point--yeah they're honestly awful like when mark looks away because seb mentions that they didn't always have the best of times but when he looks up again with that small (hopeful? rueful? earnest?) smile on his face because seb insists that they're gonna be okay............... when seb looks back over the crowd but his eyes land on mark........................... i need to crawl into a dishwasher

#genius bar #the last LLL au i wrote was for uh. drarry. back in high school 💀 #in my defense i have none i just had a lot of thoughts about light pollution #and the lack thereof when ur hiking along the coast and the sun is setting in the summer #and it's like the world literally gets washed in rich golds and midnight purples #and u can see ocean swells in the distance and the tide laps at ur feet and the atlantic becomes a loving blanket #ice cold despite the heat and liable to lash out but content as u skip stones along its surface #ocean enrichment: play cute games with ur local sea!

i need five thousand hours in the day to play music and listen to music and write music and read books and watch movies and and knit and draw and watch tv and go for long walks and edit videos and cook and clean and learn how to make fursuits and plush and paint and do sudoku puzzles and lift weights and play dnd and cards and make comics and have long phone conversations and go canoeing and hiking and swimming and get 10 hours of sleep every night and do cyanotypes and papercutting and

#AND I CANT EVEN DRAG MYSELF UPRIGHT LONG ENOUGH TO WASH DISHES #I HAVENT TOUCHED MY GUITAR IN TWO DAYS #i had a crying breakdown yesterday and it sucked and derailed my whole afternoon #I HAVE TO MAKE A BABY BLANKET BECAUSE I'M GONNA BE AN AUNT #okaaaay time for bed. its early but if im making posts like this at this point in the evening its time for bed

[hellsbroadcaster]

okay i'm proud i managed to get some tags done. I unfortunately, have a lot to do before bed so i'm gonna have to call it a night and stick to mobile. I have a 10 hour shift tomorrow so i'll likely be here after that.

#⌜off the air⌟ . // ooc #i had a bit more energy today so im happy for that #i gotta wash my blankets again x_x #and do diabetes things

APRIL HAD MY DISHES YOU GUYS

I'm still like... exaushted after what feels like years of stomach flu followed by fucking some like sinus infection or something??? idk I went to the ER after a while and they said they'd never really seen snot that color that was NOT infected but antibiotics didnt help much.... I guess I just had to work it out of my system

my queue kept going tho it just means I couldnt update about the "̴h̴o̵u̶s̷e̵ ̴m̶e̴e̵t̶i̸n̶g̴"̵ we had like a day or two after my little poll closed

April was kinda mad, first of all, she thought I was being "judgmental" but eventually she kinda accepted that I just wanna be able to CLEAN OUR APARTMENT OKAY?

And at this point most of it is a little fuzzy? Which is probably something I would talk to a therapist about but my really great therapist from when I lived with my fiance couldnt see me anymore after I moved across state lines (even tho these stares are so tiny that he would cross state lines for work lmaowe)

But basically April let me go into her room and collect all the fucknasty dishes she had hoarded in there, including some I hadn't seen the ENTIRE time I've lived here and I spent a day just finally catching up on dishes.... Just in time to get super sick 🎉

#did you know that soup can get so moldy and dry that the mold dies and the broth cracks and looks like a desert in the bowl? #mold cw #unsanitary cw #did you know that some mold looks like lambswool but others look like blue brains #and did you know that a popcorn bowl full of dead rats can all grow DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOLD #i left that bowl in there im not washing it but whatever shes doing with all the rats shes collected from the glue traps... #april needs to stop #maybe i was just already sick or maybe the mold was starting to play tricks on my eyes and she just had a weird pattern blanket but... #no thats nasty im not gonna go on tumblr and slander my roomie that much #nobody could live if they had moldy BEDDING #like come on wouldnt you get mold poisoning and die? #speaking of... maybe i should look up how to avoid mold poisoning.... #mold poisoning #mold #anyond in these tags have advice? #gross #nasty #roomates

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #ZEX #Or if you prefer my very Normal Collection of ZEX stimming lol #I'm not choosing to read alien behaviours through a neurodivergent lense you can't prove anything #Okay you got me yes I am lol - in conjunction with my ADHD Max HC (which I am only more convinced of lol) I went into this with #Really any kind of self-soothing behaviour fascinates me :D And ZEX definitely needs the soothing ;; #But it's not just the stimming! Though I did keep pretty diligent notes about that lol he's deeply interesting to me! #He's a texture person! Part of that is due to being VUX and having very processed food but if it fits it fits! #I'm also a texture person - again I have too many notes relating to ZEX lol #I also find it charming (or sad - whichever is applicable at the time!) when ZEX eats in ''odd'' ways haha ♪ #Eating without utensils - you can always just wash your hands you do you <3 #The weighted blanket lol so - I had a very normal and measured reaction to ZEX enjoying full-body pressure lol #Solely and purely intellectual! Of course! VUX enjoy swimming! Full-body pressure makes complete sense! #And he's a tactile person on top of that - pressure good for multiple reasons! I really do think he'd sleep better with a weighted blanket ♪ #Back to stimming! I really loved the scene of him opening the water bottle and his therapist being So Impatient with him about it lol #Let him figure it out! He's very intelligent! Very skilled at finding weak points and exploiting them hehe <3 #But then he runs his finger on the lip of the bottle! Wine-glassing it while he talks hehe <3 I love him #Humming!! Another stim I relate to! Not so much now since it was ''encouraged'' out of me so I may be doubly biased towards him using it hee #Too delighted to focus on utensil lessons and yet he's still clever enough to pay attention to multiple things at once hehehe ♫ #And then aside from his actual biggest stim he plays with his hair quite a lot - in various ways and to different ends :D #Running his hands through it to self-soothe or tugging on it to express - I kinda read it as him trying to move his head feelers around haha #Not quite the same but something! #Oh and then his biggest stim - just looking at humans lol it is very dopamine-delivering <3 And he has dopamine now! Very powerful :3c #Hhhhh human chemistry for VUX behaviours <3 It's so interesting to me hehe ♪

It's an odd comfort to experience a Bad Fibromyalgia Time after a long long period of not having this intensity of it.

Like it sucks slsjskdjd of course but

Very validating to experience some of the moderately severe symptoms and realize "wow this fucking sucks, this isn't normal at all, most people do not deal with this and I did a great job at surviving this for years. I deserved way more credit than I myself. Good job, past-me. You were goddamn tenacious."

The validation is nice

#sorenhoots #cold sensitive is. attacking me. i got used to 'never gets cold anymore' and right now its like mid 60s and i cant feel anything below my #knees cos theyre numb from cold. and i am scrolling tumblr on my phone with a very strategically placed blanket keeping my body heat near #my hands. otherwise they go numb and i can't do anything with them. WHICH EXPLAINS A LOT OF WHY I WAS ALWAYS NURSING SOME SORE #TENDON OR MUSCLE. i never had proper bloodflow for maintenance and so everyday wear-and-tear accumulated into chronic disability until i #eventually would cripple myself trying to wash my hair (sorry for using a slur; i choose to use it because i have emotional attachment to #the world from a lifetime of this nonsense). and then id need help putting on my shirt for six weeks until i nursed it back to usability at #which point id have fucked up the other arm overusing it. goddamn. #im finding a lot of small secrets to coping with these things. a onesie can be treatment for cold sensitivity. laying on a small pillow can #treat GI issues if it helps align your tubes. why not lol doctors never had answers so i am just vibing. i advise going to a doctor tho. and #if they have good advice pls tell me lol
