#vargas #vargas zarla #edgar vargas #scriabin vargas #zarla s #haiii i'm back :3 #i've been through a bunch of stuff recently #but i think i feel better now :) #my mind has been acting real silly lately #my brain just keeps saying KILL YOURSELF. KILL YOURSEEELF #but nothing new #i just saw this audio on tiktok and i though it fit with them soooo #also i'm now school-free for the next two months #i hope i feel motivated enough to draw something #it's just that my motivation only comes after 10pm #ohhhhh edgar looks so miserable here i want to put him in an air fryer #he just wants to be comforted D: #my heart ached while drawing this #i always make scriabin look unnecessarily pretty #and i HATE IT #BECAUSE HE DOESN'T DESERVE IT #one day i drew them with freckles and now i can't stop ....... #my brain !! finally managed !! to think of something not chapter 20/21 or diaryfic related !!! 🥳🥳 #this doesn't necessarily have a context?? #i was thinking of something like chapter 18 #i struggled so much uploading this for no reason .... #my art style is so inconsistent #but i think it looks okay

@themiserablesmonth day 4: fabric

Gav Lives AU where Valjean carries him off to safety on his noodle-free shoulder, Marius finds Enjolras's discarded-in-the-heat-of-revolution coat, brings it home and gives it to Gav, who repairs a few rips and tears before taking up the mantle for the 1834 April revolt and/or the chaos of 1848.

#Gav's clothes are NiceTM because upon finding another hungry-hurt-and-lost child Valjean's Papa Instincts ramped up to 11 #Gav's a little too shaken from the 5th & 6th to be his stubbornly-independent sepf just yet #Shoutout to SPFTB (my beloved) for eir ready-knowledge of post-1832 uprisings #and subsequently making me cry first thing in the morning upon picturing a Gavroche that makes it to 28 years of age #All my brain gave me when i started this one was 'Gav sewing' and now i have too mamy feelings #The Miserable(s) Month #TMM 2022 #Gavroche #Les Miserables #France France Revolution #Digital Art #Procreate #Cait Makes

so i know i never ever talk about it ever but i grew up on a flower farm and it is so funny how people react when i tell them that. some people are surprised that flower farms are even a thing?? like im sorry did you think the florists have big secret meadows full of wildflowers with one big but inviting tree on the top of a small hill that they frolick through every morning, singing and letting butterflies land in their hair???? and honestly even people who aren’t shocked about the sheer existence of them sometimes gets a look where i can tell they’re Definitely imagining that meadow scene skdjksjd

#it’s not like that. like it’s still nice !!! but it’s hard work #and our harvesting season is nov-jan which is the height of summer here. in queensland the skin cancer capital of the world #it’s So hot and miserable skdhjsd when i started working the season i demanded to work in the shed bunching and packing #because you could Not make me go out in the sun in 30°s #also financially very stressful #we made all our money in those three months and it had to last the whole year. and the success of the season is at the whim of the weather #and one hail storm (pretty common in summer here) can ruin everything #im so glad my parents have moved to providing dried and shredded product for skincare #so it doesn’t matter if it gets hailed on/doesnt flower properly/looks bad

[yuliangs]

nature is healing. I'm watching kamen rider again

#after a few months of being too busy miserable or distracted #and finally finally getting sick of shitty b l s #my problem with any show is that if i stop watching it for even a short while i may never finish it #i forget it exists or some weird brain thing just doesn't let me watch it #but whatever im BACK #and it's so so good

So, the prompt “Soulmates” for day 29 of @themiserablesmonth and the line in the book about complementary colours gave me the idea for an AU where your soulmate always wears the opposite colour to you (unless you get dressed together and deliberately coordinate or something.)

Red And Green

Grantaire liked to wear green. It suited him, he thought, better than any other colour. His wardrobe was almost entirely green. So he always wore green.

What troubled him was that Enjolras always wore red. The universe seemed to enjoy teasing him, making it seem as if he and Enjolras were meant to be. And he knew it couldn’t be. He hardly expected Enjolras to even look at him, let alone love him, and certainly not to be with him forever.

Of course, he couldn’t exactly blame Enjolras for liking the colour. He’d be a massive hypocrite if he did, since he also wore one colour most of the time. But he could prove once and for all that they weren’t meant to be. He searched through every second hand shop he could find, until finally, he found something. It was admittedly a little over the top, definitely a costume rather than a regular coat, but it was only for one meeting. If Grantaire could prove that he wasn’t supposed to be with Enjolras, maybe he could move on. He doubted it, but he told himself he could.

Cosette was the first person Grantaire saw, as they arrived at the same time, and she noticed Grantaire’s unusually red costume. “Cool coat, Grantaire! Are you dressing up as the man from that film we all love singing along to? You know, the one who looks like my dad?”

Grantaire laughed, he had to admit there was a resemblance. “Maybe, maybe not. But I’m wearing it to test out a theory, not to start a circus.”

“That’s a shame, I can really see Les Amis doing all the acrobatics!” Cosette laughed. “Am I allowed to know what your theory might be?”

They walked into the café, and Grantaire was too shocked to answer. He stared across the room at Enjolras, who, for the first time ever to Grantaire’s knowledge, was wearing green.

Wow I didn't realize I had such a good week till just now.

- I went to my first ever wrestling show and saw my favorite wrestlers live.(I had fun cheering and booing at the top of my lungs with my siblings too, lol)

- I reached out to a Podcaster who's work I really like, who's open to talking to me more in the future if I have stuff to share.

- I had breakfast with my mom and got some new clothes that I think are cute(after a doctor's appointment, I really was dreading)

- Had some really good Japanese food

- I feel I'm finally getting my strength back after 3 years (I just feel more healthy in general)

And some many other little things that made me happy. This time of the month is usually the worst, but this is the first time since I don't know when I just had a good solid week😊

#i was fuckin miserable this time a year ago. i didn't know i had p mdd and i literally thought i was going c razy lol #i was so fuckin p aranoid i could barely eat on top of being incredibly s ick already(p mdd makes me extremely physically ill without #m edication) #g od i really fuckin l ived like that 2 weeks out of every month was hell till i hit my p eriod then i had to go through that bs. ugh. #one year ago was when i finally realized i had it but i was suffering 2 fuckin years before that. i legit thought i was dying it but #no d octor wanted to see m e(c ovid times yknow) #an yway idk why im saying this i guess it's nice to finally look back and see m yself doing better instead of worse ha #well im not in the clear yet. i still have another d octors a ppointment. but hopefully that goes well and I'll be better for a long time #but a good week is a good week tho. I'll take it b aby😌 #rin posting💌 #i c leaned and o rganized my room today but i actually like doing that l ol #i don't know how to do a r ead more on moble so s orry(i tried)

Tw: negative

Wish you could like... sue your depressed for all the time and money it costs to take care of it and anything else that results from it.

I never wanted depression so why do I need to pay for the things that make me not want to off myself? (Pills/therapy/etc.)

For the rest of my life I'll need to pay for the things that are gonna keep me alive because of something I cannot control. I can't just tell my brain 'hey, work properly so we don't wanna fucking die'

If I hadn't been depressed in school I would've planned ahead, I would have been better than where I am today.

I never thought I'd get to 18 and I'm gonna be 26 in April. I don't blame past me because they weren't doing well. Unmedicated. I don't wanna go back to that. It was scary. Actively thinking it's easier to die is fucking terrifying.

Living is so fucking expensive.

#tw suicide mention #tw suicide idealization #paid $400 today to take care of cavities that formed because I don't care enough about myself to floss amd brush every day #and this was just the first appointment out of three. #having no insurance fucking sucks why did my dental and vision end before life insurance? #i only have another two months of that and most of the antidepressants i take are gonna be too expensive #i have to get a new therapist because they don't take the only insurance I'm gonna qualify for #ik i never thought I'd make it this far but fucking hell i never thought it would be this bad #so many bills and it all just doesn't seem worth it #can't get a job have to take care of my 101 grandma who is miserable and actively prays for death (which ya know is great for ME to hear/s) #dads got cancer moms the only one working shes gonna be 67 and wanted to retire YEARS ago but can't afford to #no car so even if i could get a job i couldn't get there #everything is about fucking money #and i know people have it worse but that doesn't make my situation any better #I'm just so done.. #tw negative

everytime i think about my home life it makes me profoundly miserable bc i end up realising things that are just not normal at all & it makes me feel more ostracised than i usually do

#perth.txt #like how i have to get leftovers or make my own food #& often have to get my own food for specific things bc my mother considers my specific wants once every six months tops #even if they're autism related like for sensory issues & stuff like that bc she thinks i'm just being complicated #& i always eat alone in my room. always. i never eat with them. never. #there aren't even four chairs in the living room there are three. #& i never go in the living room anyway #idk i don't know if i would enjoy eating w them but it's absolutely miserable feeling this excluded #for a while if i was downstairs they even closed the living room door even if i was just grabbing a drink or something #i'm sure this is affecting the perth's mental health population positively yes /s

[semercury]

I hope the me in the good timeline is having a good day.

#stuff sarah says #sometimes i wonder if i did actually die in 2013 #and my punishment is to believe i hadnt while living out my miserable life as everything around me grows increasingly more unbearable #and yes i know im probably just being dramatic #im suffering from female hysteria and i cannot receive a prescription for a month by the sea #and even if i did. id probably feel too guilty to take it and relax #but gosh everything feels so wrong and awful #i keep having visions of years down the road where i get an angry phone call from my brother #bc i didnt tell him about our parent(s)'s funeral. and my reply is just that i didnt think he would care #which i know is awful and petty of hypothetical me to do. but idk what else i would do? #and i just hate how everything has turned out. i wish life had a reset button #ive fucked everything up so much and i hate muself for it every day #so yeah. i just hope parallel universe me in the good timeline is having a good day

#girl i have so many teshes thoughts its INSANE #me starting with haha actually this ship has no basis i just want to Put Tesilid Through It #but over the past few months of brainrotting their dynamic is now like. #what if we were doomed from the start and there was never anything either of us could do to save the other #(not even talking about the regression but rather the stigma bearer thing and how they have no social power) #(but also the regression thing) #what if we loved each other throughout all the lifetimes but there could never be a happy ending. tragedy dogs our footsteps #what if we were 'guy who has a good head on his shoulders and recognises our low social positions and looks out for his friends in similar #predicaments' x 'guy who is way too giving and this is bad bc the world is out to get him and he loves ppl too much to care about #the danger to himself' #what if we were 'guy who is way too giving' x 'guy who wants to protect him but Cant' #doomed ships..... #swings hestio around i like you SO much. i need to put you under a microscope and in a fish tank #(statements that should not ever be viewed by people outside of tumblr) #some of my fic outlines has notes that are like 'wow if they had the transmigrators privilege this wouldnt even have been a problem' #and im suddenly very appreciative of canon #god bless canon tesilid may you be happy. not my fanfic tesilid though im making him miserable #anyway. the more i think about it the more interesting hestio's internal conflict could be #it's about being so acutely aware of how shit their lives already are that he knows having a r/s that is frowned upon would just #make things worse #also i am very much hooked by the fact that like. nowadays i keep seeing ship posts about 'killing myself in front of you to change the #trajectory of your life forever' #for teshes its the opposite. hestio is desperately trying to make sure tesilid doesnt off himself #and also its not hestio dying that changes the trajectory of tesilid's life forever it's hestio confessing #and somehow this inflicts more pain on tesilid in the long run #which is extremely funny bc for all the notes that ive written abt teshes hestio has only confessed like umm. checks notes. 3 times #1. drunk (tesilid is not in the room) 2. the world is ending #like if hestio had managed to take this to the grave like he had originally planned then this could have been avoided #but the tragedy is that tesilid lives thru this multiple times so at least ONE time hestio's going to blab and that forever changes things #crying in fic writing being stupidly hard
