hey guys just doodling the guy again (i am booed offstage)

#death note #l lawliet #bright colors #eyestrain #my art #yeah it’s him again #went to actually draw something but like #eh #might as well draw this guy #i’m projecting my tiredness onto him but is it really projection if he’s also tired? i don’t think so #i would pay cash money to pass out for the next 24 hours dm me and i’ll give you my location and u can bonk me on the head w a bat #genuinely think the lack of sleep has been aggravating a lot of my issues i’ve been weirdly flipping between like #paranoia and weirdly happy and irrational anger and just deeply numb #which actually now that i think about it is exactly what happens every time i don’t sleep enough for long enough #methinks i should sleep more snork mimimi it makes my brain work better #god i want to sleep so bad rn #but i have to do laundry and make 2 pies for other people to consume tomorrow #i plan on decorating the crusts w dicks or smth bc i hate the people it’s going to and they are very conservative religious sorta vibes #but some people there would get a kick out of it (the good ones) #u know i was wondering if i really complain about being tired enough for those anons about sleep and y’know what #i really do #and i will forever #if i’m tired u will know of it and thats because it’s always #maybe i should try that caffeine shit people rave about (<- has not drank energy drinks or sodas or coffees since i was like. 14) #actually i think my heart would give out idk what’s with it but it gets silly sometimes so i don’t think it would like caffeine #or maybe idc who knows #the best solution imo is passing out forever and ever and waking up and hopefully being refreshed or smth

Upon rewatch of the Mario Movie, I really gotta wonder how long the Mario Bros were in the Mushroom Kingdom for. 

They get sucked through the pipe past sundown Brooklyn time, which depending on the season is like 8-9 o’clock, Mario arrives in the Mushroom Kingdom in the day time, maybe late afternoon, and spends the rest of the day through the night into the morning on Peach’s Mario Maker level, travels all the next day, sleeps in a Fire Flower field for the night, arrives at the Kong Kingdom mid the next day, leaves the Kong Kingdom on Karts around sunset, which turns to night as they are ambushed, leading to Mario and DK spending the entire night inside an eel only breaking out early the next morning, just to make it barely in time to Peach and Bowser’s wedding sometime around noon, and go back through the pipe to have it be early morning in Brooklyn with the rest of the Mario family carrying on with breakfast as usual.

So they spend 3 Days in the Mushroom Kingdom, but only like 12 hours of Brooklyn time seems to have passed.

#Mario Movie #Just. Ya know. Think thonkin #I had this thought the first time I watched the movie but I didn't have the thing memorized enough to be confident in my time calls #The passage of time in the movie btw is REALLY cool especially during the kart scene because it's Sunset to Darkness #So you can actually see the light fade and stars start to pop in here and there until it's fully night #Which is SO cool and easy to miss in that scene because a LOT is happening kfgdjkdfgk #I assume the Bros hadn't been gone 3 real world days for two reasons; #1. The Mario family is very close knit and I feel like they'd be a lot less Business as Usual if Mario and Luigi went missing #And 2. The time wouldn't sync up #8pm to Noon-ish to 8am to Noon doesn't make a lot of sense? #The wedding is in broad daylight btw I DID check multiple times to be absolutely sure I was right #Because there's a lot of Fairy Lights in that scene that are really bright like the Kart headlights #And there's a sort of Reddish/Pinkish tint to the bottom of the sky which is usually Sunset #But then you remember we're having a wedding surrounded by lava and Bowser's Castle takes a big storm cloud everywhere #So I use Mario and DK's romp through Toad Town instead as time referance #And yeah it's Noon #So that's cool actually #So it's? 4 hours Brooklyn to 24 Mushroom Kingdom? Implying the Mushroom Kingdom days ARE 24 hours long even #This is the kinda shit my Mario S/I is insane about btw like if I was in the Mario universe this would be question number 1 for sure #Sorry for the big block of text that this post became I couldn't. I couldn't think of a better way to format it #Without getting an annoying long post #Unrelated did Luigi land in the Badlands at Night or is the Badlands just constantly covered in Smog from the lava? #Because it'd be kinda cool if the Koopa Kingdom was on the opposite Time Zone as the Mushroom Kingdom #but that's just speculation at that point

Do u still write tua fics?:)

A guy gets busy for two months and suddenly he doesn't write fics anymore smh...

Jokes aside - yes. I am still writing tua fics. Life's just been busy, and around that I haven't had the energy to use the free time I do have for writing. C'est la vie.

I do get this feels like an uncharacteristic gap - and it is from what I've done before! For my other projects, long fics were finished before I even started posting, so I could keep up a regular, fast update schedule because everything was ready to go. In regards to JT, I had a huge buffer of written and half-written chapters to keep close to that same, fast pace. We've run out of buffer tho - the last few chapters are either ones I need to write or need so much editing and rewrites that it's basically writing them from scratch. I need time to do it, I have plans to do it, I want to do it, it just hadn't happened yet. Such is the much more normal pace of fanfic publishing.

A peek behind the curtains, too - lockdown for the pandemic was huge for how much I wrote. From 2020-halfway through 2022, I worked basically part-time due to restrictions at work, so I had a lot of time to fill and not much else to do besides write. In that time, I wrote like 700,000 words (~425k is up on AO3). I did like three accidental NaNoWriMos (none in November).

Now? Here in 2023? Work is back to full time. Things are open, friends want to hang out, there's movies and shows I want to watch and games I want to play, I want to write, I have Life Things to deal with, and I have much less time to split between all those.

A little of what I'm getting at here is that - I'm tired. I was going to make this announcement after I finished JT, but I'll do it here: I will be taking a break after I finish writing JT. I wrote a lot of words, I had a lot of fun writing those words, but I'm starting to feel a pressure to get words done, which doesn't help words happen and I want writing to stay a fun hobby, so a break must happen. If a little oneshot or something happens during my break, then it happens, but I'm not pressuring myself to have a Next Thing out quickly or in x amount of time. I'll still be around here on Tumblr and all my everything will still be up on AO3, so I hope you guys stay around to hang out and chat, but you'll have to get your sharkneto fic fill from the 24 fics already up.

So, yes. I'm still writing and still in TUA. JT will get finished - I do feel bad that it's sat for so long without an update. And then I'll be chilling for a bit.

Thanks for all your patience and the love for my writing - you guys are what makes sharing fic so fun!

#i was hit halfway through that it is funny I'm effectively writing a press release thing for why i haven't updated my fic in 2 month lmao #but i am feeling a pressure about this - when i really shouldnt - and i think getting expectations on the table will help #and will also help relax me about it so words can happen better #turns out working 40 hours a week instead of 24 really cuts out *a lot* of free time #anyway - a thorough update for everyone on where things are at #sharkneto speaks #ficblogging

I find it funny when people with a normal tolerance for pain/people who don't regularly have a lot of pain (migraines, joint pain, muscle pain, headaches, etc.) freak out about me taking 4 ibuprofen, like sorry do you stub ur toe once and nearly black out from pain? didn't think so now let me have my little pain relieving snack for the day okay

#i don't usually take like a lot anyways #i take four a day #i just happen to down all 4 at the same time #the highest safe dose u can have in 24 hours is like 8 of those things #and I'm not fucking downing four of those that frequently :/ #idk

[the-moogle-of-your-nightmares]

i am at this point very certain that i am legitimately, actually cursed. the only degree to which this is metaphorical is that there's not a word for it that doesn't imply supernatural means, instead of ones that can be explained by science but haven't been yet.

#moogletalks #venting #negative #like. i have much; much; much evidence by now that this isn't a mental illness thing #it doesn't do my related mental illness/trauma stuff any favors! #and it's actually something that over the last few years has *motivated* me to put a lot of good work into addressing that #but this particular pattern has been escalating over the last few years in particular #and by now is a hundred percent reliable #it happens like clockwork in very specific ways that i have observed over and over and over #to the point where i will calmly and in full practicality mode say 'i am going to pay for this before long' and every time i do i am right #when that doesn't occur to me; it happens and i get blindsided by it #and then after a few minutes tops of thinking about it i can go 'god damn it i know exactly what caused this one' #this is happening. it is a fact. and i'm so fucking exhausted of not having words for it or knowing what the mechanism is #fucking i hate this. anyway my health condition from a few months ago has flared up again even worse than before #in retaliation for exactly the same *things* as before #and this time i'm at significantly higher risk for becoming quadruplegic! #and last night in retaliation for a particular thing that had happened less than 24 hours beforehand i've stopped sweating! #and i don't know if it will be permanent! #and as proof that it's in direct proportion to what it's retaliating against #a smaller; less life-changing hope spot than the things that've been retaliated against w/ Extreme Shit; which happened within the last week #led to me finding one of my fish dead the next afternoon #i am not kidding or exaggerating about this.

omfg the logistics of s.t.a.r.s. makes me sick. like there is absolutely no need for them to work for 24 hours 7 days a week for what they are. in my mind it would be that alpha have the day shift and bravo have the night one but even then like. it makes no sense. because they would be 12 hour shifts... every day... that's. no.

#leah.txt #capcom i need you to fix this bullshit just for my brain #like omfg. can you image. 6am to 6pm or something. that's hell. like i know jobs have 12 hour shifts i know this but they don't go for #SEVEN DAYS IN A ROW #there are off days.... #funny though cause the rest of stars are suffering with that but then there's wesker who not only has to do this but he has the job duties #of being the captain for alpha team and basically commander overall BUT ALSO he's the chief of security at umbrella. like. he doesn't sleep #i feel like surely they'd have like weekends Off but they are still on call if things happen?? who knows. cause 7 days... no... like even 5 #days of 12 hours isn't right so it's wild #idk how this makes sense at all but augh #OMFG I JUST READ IT AGAIN AND NO. its 24 hours for one team and then they switch.......... NO. NUH UH. THAT'S.... no. #it's literally unnecessary for what they are and the skills the attention they would need for tasks. changing after 12 hours makes more #sense and even that's a lot so. capcom please explain the logic behind this to me. true story behind biohazard book please explain this. #''these two teams work in shifts. one day each. in other words alpha team works a 24-hour shift for a day followed by bravo team'' #i have some safety concerns with this #oh reading this and just some casual misogny thrown in there once again. capcom it's literally unnecessary to keep doing these throw #away lines. like no one was thinking that so why did you say it?? #anyways this is bullshit lmaooo can i redesign the stars work hours please? #just for what they do i don't think 24 hours makes sense to keep someone awake that long when they need to be alert and such but what #do i know ougoughg #i mean a lot of stuff in this book manual thingy have been retconned but it's so wild

[obstinatecondolement]

When the train arrived I told the conductor that I was getting off at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, but apparently he's getting off at Chester, so I have to tell whoever his relief is too. Which. You know. Is fine. Hopefully the practice of telling the first guy will help!

#I think I managed okay on the ll sounds? #like... not... great #but I think it at least sounded like I knew that it didn't sound like ll would in English and that I had Made An Effort #which is probably the best I can hope for at this kind of notice #the rolled r Did Not Happen #but I tried to say that bit quickly so it wasn't as noticeable #I hope that I am not making it seem like I think Welsh is stupid or wrong btw #I just think that I don't speak Welsh and am not familiar with some of the sounds that come up a lot in it #and I don't want to not even try or pronounce it as if it were English #with no regard to the conventions of Welsh spelling or pronunciation #or that it's y'know... its own language #I don't huff at tourists Not Even Trying to learn how to say Irish place names #only to turn around and do the exact same thing when I am visiting in another country with a minority language #but it is a bit scary to have to figure this out with less than 24 hours (much of which was spent sleeping) notice lol

Shady’s back, tell a friend— god, it feels good to type on a regular keyboard again, behind, guess what, behind the third-biggest babe in my life, my desktop computer. I don’t know what it says about me that I put so much value in a stationary computer, does it make me more of a boomer? I sure hope so. Anyway, she is installed and while we’re still waiting on internet, my phone is being used as the common hotspot in the apartment and the signal is pretty strong, so apart from work preparations, maybe it’ll also allow me to set up some things because I’ve started a Game of Thrones rewatch; I miss my books. But also, this boomer misses dodging bullets here (and writing too, I guess).

Aka, hi, we’re in our apartment— I have almost forgotten to cook/eat every day for 4 days now, because I’ve been single-handedly at war with one really greasy kitchen. Two more cabinets to go, folks, then I will know some kind of peace (translation: save me, my back is absolutely killing me, and I’ve been, mostly, suffering in silence).

#[ out of character. ] whatever. i don't really care. i'm just gonna sit this one out. #[ aka; this apartment was inhabited by i believe two guys. ] #[ you can tell. ] #[ that's all i'll say. ] #[ ... no i actually have a lot to say. the toilet smells like one you'd find in a gas station. ] #[ and we're unsure what happened there-- so we're gonna nuke it with products. we haven't yet decided what products. ] #[ the entire apartment feels like one that has been decently heavily smoked in but doesn't smell like it. ] #[ or not anymore any way. ] #[ it's that residue-- it's similar to caked on dust feeling greasy? except it's on places where caked on dust just... doesn't stay. ] #[ also the kitchen was gross. it looked fine on the surface but holy shit i've had to do a lot of cleaning. ] #[ when i say almost non-stop-- i mean i don't eat until like late afternoon and i call it dinner. ] #[ i just can't focus on anything other than this damn kitchen with all of its wonderful storage that i'll happily use once it's all cLEAN. ] #[ guys pls send help. i need help-- i can't do this alone even though i've been doing it alone. ] #[ /breathes. ] #[ i will sleep and finish it tomorrow. then i gotta get a steam cleaner for these floors and tackle those with it and a vacuum. ] #[ i love the apartment a lot but /holy shit. ] #[ my back. :( ] #[ and i'm waiting on my bedding so i can properly sleep-- in a bed... i will sleep for 24 hours. ] #[ hi; welcome to me returning but also-- welcome to my burnout and also my cleaning woes. ]

Alright things have ended up not being as terrifying as I thought they would be but I still need to move bc the 24 hour adrenaline rush was not worth it

#got a VERY clear look at the exact thing ive been trying to run from and. i cannot let this happen again.. #i have a chance to leave in ~2 weeks and im gonna have to take it.. the most intelligent decision i can make #easily the most stressful 24 hours of my life in recent memory and i have been thinking a LOT about it #hoatm rants

my apartment manager, who has still not fixed my AC after two weeks, who ignored multiple texts on the subject, is currently Big Mad i haven’t responded to his text from literally <5 hours ago

#going through my voicemail and ​he started calling me THIRTY MINUTES after texting me!!!! literally eat glass!!!!! #i had my phone in do not disturb mode (because i was WORKING!) so i missed a lot of… whatever this is #this is what happens when you respond to people’s texts in a short period of time #they think you're accessible 24/7 then get all salty when you're not #like ok we can just leave this AC not working for 2 weeks but all of a sudden it has to get fixed TOMORROW!!!! #and i'm the asshole because i DARED to idk have a job and a life and didn't look at my phone for 5 hours #maybe you should be better at planning things! just bc you're bad at your job doesn't make any of this my fucking problem! #maim bite stab kill #m.txt

#btw any Tumblr mutuals who are also going lmk! #I wanna meet you! #lots of these are self explanatory lmao #I really hope some of these dONT happen but knowing my luck they prob will #but some ofc I really do want to happen #like being in a Slog #bucket list item fr #also Brian May being a guest bc that would just be sO iconic and I can actually see it happening? #also ofc I wanna get barrier otherwise I absolutely won't be able to see aNYTHING #that of course led me to adding the not sleeping for 24 hours thing bc I wanna queue up as early as humanly possible #me crying could be good or bad we dont know this far in advance #I also want there to be a dvd so I can look back on it #I'll stop rambling now you get the idea #Def Leppard #The Stadium Tour #Motley Crue #Bingo #Memes #also feel free to use this if you're going as well!

hi besties I’m tired </3

#negative tw #[ooc] #that's code for getting hit hard by the stressy depressy again #idk just getting hit hard by a bunch of shit today out of nowhere #like a lot has happened over the past two years and basically the only friends I have in actual proximity to me live two hours away #so I can't go see them all the time. plus everyone is busy so we're lucky if we get to hang out once a month. #my best friend moved across the country last year and didn't tell me about it in advance or say goodbye #and we didn't fall out or anything and I should be over it but damn. idk. #the fact that I was at his house literally the day before he left to bring him a birthday gift and he said nothing to me about it #that shit hurt in a way I can't really explain. he was basically like my brother we grew up together. and then poof he's gone. #and I guess I didn't matter enough to be told about it lol #then the few other friends I had I kinda just. stopped associating with. mainly because they wouldn't return the energy yknow? #I felt like a permanent third wheel. #so really I'm grateful for the friends I've made here online because sometimes y'all are really the only ones who #don't make me feel like I'm alone 24/7 #I mean that with every ounce of love in my body. y'all don't know how you've helped hold me together this year. #but that's where my anxiety is a bitch because it's always this back and forth of like #one minute I feel like I'm not doing enough to reach out to my friends. the next minute I feel like I'm annoying. #which is literally just my brain being a bully. it's been like this for me for as long as I can remember. #idk fam I just needed to vent a minute I hold this shit in too much. back to shitposting now. #ignore<3 do not perceive <3<3

I'm sorry to everyone who follows me for other shit but I'm going to keep posting about the Watcher situation because marketing fascinates me. I find advertising to be sickening and exploitive, but marketing as a concept is fascinating.

I'm just majorly wondering what the FUCK is going on at Watcher HQ right now. It's still relatively early on the West Coast (almost 8 am at the time I am writing this) but their lack of response is throwing up a lot of interesting markers to me (not necessarily red flags but flags all the same.)

The immediate pull back on response speaks that they knew what they were doing in terms of PR at least initially. They had their employees delete any interactions with dissenting fans, there was radio silence except for clarification on what will remain on the Youtube. Their only mistake was making that Patreon announcement with sneak peaks for the site (I can only guess they were banking that the Patrons were most likely to follow them in the move and sorely miscalculated it). Steven's post was... problematic. But he posted it before all of the backlash started so while it didn't help it wasn't a doubling down when faced with a lot of backlash.

While saving face is almost always a smart thing to do, this silence has gone on a little bit too long. They have lost tens of thousands of Subscribers in 24 hours. Their announcement video has over a 1:4 Like/Dislike ratio. Fans are talking and starting to spin the situation in ways that are actively detrimental to the company. It should be top priority to get a response out. This is crisis mode y'all. They had all day to secure a PR representative if they didn't already have one to try and salvage this and yet? Still more radio silence from the official channel.

That creates the question: are we going to see a response today or have they chosen to wait until the traditional work-week starts again? I can't help but think that waiting is a terrible idea. The fanbase is getting out of hand. They need to salvage what they can and letting the situation fester isn't going to help. Or, the even worse option is that they are going to continue like this isn't happening, which is an EVEN WORSE idea.

Whatever happens I'm watching with a perverse fascination. Its been a long time since I've seen a media blunder like this.
